The letters of that tic whole "principle and policy of such a

the manuficiurera and tf Mr. Webster clearly establish, ia the first place, that the protectionists reject the idsa of a compromise bc-lAcen the taritT system emboded in the act of ll'i, and that which is maintained in the act vf l-Ui. Messrs. Chambers and lhivi. say that Mr. -Webster" propo-ed amendment retained all the principles and all the regulations of the act of 131:2. Mr. Webster himself, in his reply, is equally explicit, He says this amendment neither attacks nor abandons the principles nor the policy of the act of ' On the contrary.it retain? all the principles ofthat important iiw, and maintains its who'e policy." This statement cover? the whole pround. The protectionists go for tha law of lSJ'-i, principles, policy, and all. The friends cf the new tariff think those principles and that policy objectionable and unjust; and hereupon 1-Eiie is jo;ced. . - ' What is meant by the mlvocatos of tlie .tariff of 1812, when they, speak of its principles and its policy V They cL not mean its rates of duty, it appear; because, while intending to retain all the " principles and policy " of the law, they propose to change its rates of duty . Xov, besides these rates of duty the law of l"il'2 presents two other leading and characteristic features. They are the specific principles and the minimum principle - the principle, that is, of taxinjr, in some eases, articles according to their quantity, and "not according to their value, and the. principle of affixing, in other cases, a false xilue to an article by law in order to tax it more heavily. These are- thfc4 principles" and the policy " which the wüijjs seek to retain in our revenue system. - ' Now the first remark which occurs in relation to these two principles is, that they are whol-y self-contradictory. The first principle denies that the tax should pay any regard to the ra'u. The second principle recognizes value as the basis of taxation, and only claims that the law shall make tliat value - cnor mnusty false, for the purpose of levying in an underhand way a tax two or three hundred per cent, higher than the country would endure if it were laid openly. And in support of such principles as these, the whigs are willing, they say, to go before the people I These principles, niey ciaim, snuuiu oe permanent, ira our 1 revenue system ! And, be it observed, that the Jaw cf 184- levies these- speeiße and minimum duties just where they are not the greater i.utra plied to those need the least protection ; while the specif c duties ore laid generally either upon thoe articles, equal quantities of which differ most in tvi.V, as silks for example, or else upon that c!as of articles whose value can be most easily ascertained such, for example, as the various manufactures cf iron. T'; ; These blunders seem to have been committed in the law -of 134'2 as if for the purpose of taking from that act all pretence of a right to stand as the permanent revenue system cf the country. This unskilful application of specific duties burdens them with perhaps an unnecessary odium. They, are bad -.enough in them-

needed. The minimum, as bem- ,n ,l l"e mcn 01 01 me coumry were entirely satis-

The whole system of rai-ing revenue by duties porU is a rxirJ one for- the poor man, since his bodily j aie as great as the rich man's ; and, although poverty I on imports wants compels him to consume cheaper articles, and reihans' in less quantities, yet, in the most favorable view of the ease, his tixes for the support of government are oat of all pioportion to his means. If, in addition to lhi, he his to pay a mucn amy en interior articles- as nis rich neizhoor pays on choice qualities of" he same articles, the ii j istice is so fli'iant that it. i strange any fair-minded euuen can co'intcuanc it for a moment. Yet this injustice Is in&paiable fiom a system of specific duties. The same thing may be said of the whole system of minimum. It requires that all aiticles of a pellicular class, not exceeding a given valne per pound or per yard, shall be valued at the rate, and charged with duty accordingly. For lnsur.ee, the tauu nt lSli requites that's!! manufactures-J of co'ton, or of which cotton ball b a component put, not dyed, colored, printed, r Itatned, not exceeding in value twenty cents per square yard, shall be valued at twenty cents per square yatd, and piy a duty of 30 per cent on that valuation. Some descriptions of cotton roanufactuies ate not worth more than five cents the square yard, we presume, while otneis marsie. worth twenty cents. Now, according to the mininnum principle, Ihe five cent cloth, (mostly used by persons in moderate circumstances,) would have to pay just as much duty r jrard, as the fine fabric worth four times as much. Thus, if a bandVe'J collars woith of the fine article paid $30 duty, a hundied dollars worth of Ihe coaise article would have to pay $120. This is the sort of protection which the system of minimuras rives t the poor man j.the protection of. paying .foor. time as large a tax, ia propoiuon to me vaiue i w hat be consumes, as the rich man j whereas the. latter, on the score of properly and mean, ought to pay, perhaps, a hundred times as much as the foimer." The defence of this enormous system is, that specific duties, an,l even minimums, are necessary to avoid frauds. This objection to the new tariff has been, for want of a better, greatly insisted oo. . But it is strangely wanting in plausibility. Much has been said of false invoices, as if the importer had only to fiUify bis invoice, and so pay under the ad talorem system as little duty as he chose." The fact Js, that the value of the goods taxed is to be settled, not by the importer's invoice, but by competent and skilful appraisers. They are to appraise the goods at their actual market value in our ports in New York or Philadelphia, not at Canton nor at Manchester. In this point of. view, the appraisers, whose business it only such regard to the importer', invoice as it may Gem riiL.in.u vj. Aiicy may, ji iney piease, take the invoice as prima facia evidence of the actual cost of llicy may, it they please, take the I the goods, and so approximately of their actual worth in our markets. Uut it is only prima facie evidence. The appraisers must value the goods upon their own judgment, after all. Vet the importer is obliged to present an invoice ; and one provision of the new law goes far towards making this invoice a true exponent of the value of the goods. For the law provides that, if thp value placed upon the goods by the importer, on entering titera at the cusf oni-housc, is less by 10 per cent, than the value at which they are subsequently appraised, then 20 per cent, additional duly upon the apprai-sed value is to be levied and collected. It is to be observed, that this 20 per cent, additional doty doua not involve at all the question of fraud ; and it may reasonably be supposed that importers will not readily understate their invoice prices at such a risk,' If they d- so, the 20 per cent, additional value upon the price adjudged by the appraiser, will be collected whenprer the appraiser shall deem the invoice too law. The 44 principles and the policy," therefore. -r ..e iom r. .1 : ' . -. specific and minirnuru duties, da not seem necessary for the avoidance of fraud. - , . - - Uutthe correspondence which we give below makes " tlian thai abuve referred to. The gentlemen representing tlie various branches of manufacturing industry all agree that the rates of duty in the law of 1312 "iniy be reduced twenty-five dollars in every hundred,' trxl yet leave the protection large enough to satisfy even lite protected inten ds themteltes.

On that question we meet them with the most unwavering confidence. -We commend this significant corrcspondunce to the perusal of our readers: To Ihe Editors if the Inte'ligrnrer. .

My own judgment is entirely char and satisfied on the subject. This amendment neither attacks nor abandons tbe principles or the policy of the act of Is-li. On tbe contrary, it retains all the pi incites of that important law, and maintains its whole policy. It is tine, it proposes a large reduction on the higher rates at duties imposed by that law. Tho- high rtcs were deemed essential when that law passed, as at that time all the great iodustiial interest of the rountiy wcic depressed and prostrated. Under Ihe benign influence of that law, those inteiests have revived and aiiaiucd to such a degree of strength, as to justify tbe bope that, with strict economy, and by the progress of improvement, they may be able to sustain themselves with a reduced degree of protection. But this hope is very much founded on the idea that, if what is proposed to be now done, it shall be considered as an arrangement which is to be durable, and which shall leheve men engaged in these pursuits hem the evils if constant uncertainty and appteheoRut I ennnot say, gentlemen, whether I shall move this Xj(0ilton.

To my mind ample proof has been futnUhed that a majority of the people and of tne Ciiaies ueire acnange, ua greaiexieiu, in principle, if not fundamentally, in the system heretofore pursued in assessing the du:ies on foreign imports. That majority has manifested itself in various ways, and is attested by its representatives in the other liou?e of Congress, by whom this bill has been approved, and whose votes undeniably indicate the popular sense in the large proportion of eighteen out of twenty-six States. In this Senate un analysis of the vote bofore me discloses that while six States Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire, Georgia, Michigan and Maine) arc equally divided, eleven (Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Kentucky, iUassacnusetts, JNew jersey, Rhode I -land, Connecticut, ' Maryland, North Carol i na and Vermont) are against,' eleven (Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, South Carolina, Mississippi, New York, Texas, Tennessee and Florida) are for the change, reculiarlf situated as I am in my relation to the national legislature, these impressive facts cannot be overlooked. In a case free from constitutional objection, I could not justifiably counteract, by a sort of official veto, the general will. The struggle to exert without abatement the constitutional power of taxation in such a manner as to protect by high duties oo imports many of the productions or our own soil and labor from the competition of other countries, has endured for more than thirty years. During that period a'system of high taxation has prevailed with fluctuations of success and failure. It is as vigorously and as exactingly insisted upon now as ever ; and indeed it would seem in some instances, os if the longer the advantage of a particular tax was enjoyed, the stronger became the desire for its continuance, and even Uiytnentalion. Andfyfct it.oght;to be remembered tliat "this 'exercise of the taxing power by which the great mass of consumers nre made to swell the profits of a few branches of industry, was originally intended to be temporary, tobe continued only so long as its continuance was necessary to the industrial independence and safety of the whole people. Such was the language, the inculcation, the spirit, in which it was proposed and justified by its carlicst'wisest friends. Tlie design was to foster feeble "infant" manufactories, especially such as were essential to the defence of the country in time of war. In this design, the people h ive persevered until, with Botne, but not weighty exceptions, these sapplings have taken deep root, haye,bccötne;yigorous, expanded nnd poweFulaiid are-prepared to share the common lot of human pursuits, and to enter with confidence the field of free, fair, and universal competition. " " " ti - ine amval 01 tlus Fr,l,J ot ume onS promised, ...... , been anxiously looked tor by a large and justly respected portion ot our Jellow citizens, who deemed themselves peculiar and almost exclusive sufferers by the policy of protection. They have sometimes perhaps ' imprudently endeavored to anticipate it. Their numbers, at first entitled to influence only from their patriotism and intelligence, have gone on gradually increasing as the system ripened to it fruit, and they now constitute1 vfct I am bound 1y'r?gistred facts to rc'ga6M;a$3cI majority of the people and of the Union. It is undoubtedly true that this change of financial arrangement, brought about bv public opinion, "ichich ifiverytcher ought to gilide "arutLiiiß&nce statesmen" should, nevertheless, be characterized by moderation, nay, by scrupulous tenderness for those interests of our fellow citizens that are to be affected by it- The legislation which encouraged their investments, their educational training, or their habits, should cease, finally and firmly, if required, but still coothingly and gently, and hence I may be pardoned for expressing a regret that certain provisions which, in their bearing j seern to me trenchant and sudden beyond the calls ot the occasion, have been allowed to remain as parts of this bill. v ere it in my power to except these provisions from .the operation of my vote, I would do so ; but viewed as a whole, as a measure to accommodate a vast and intricate subject to the prevailing sentiment of the American people, to reduce the burdens artificially imposed on the laboring and productive masses, and to reconcile diminished restrictions of trade with increased contributions from it, I cannot resist the impression that the bill is more equal, more tempered, and more just. that the act of 1342, which it supersedes. Thar It deals with some pursuits and resources of my native commonwealth Jess kindly than she might we'l expect, does not relieve me from thy duty, but only makes its performance personally reluctant and painful. ' In aid of these considerations, adequate perhaps, in themselves to control my vote, there is another, which I am free to confess, nothing but an unforeseen, sheer, and pressing public necessity could ever induce me to forego or forget. In strict concord with the letter and spirit of the constitution, the Vice President of the United States, now called upon to act, is the direct g?nt and representative of the whole pefts pie. In advance, and dependent upon contingent resuUs.it4s perfectly competent to this, his national constituency," to give instruction?, and to receive pledges for their execution. On this Tdentical subject of a tariff of duties on imports, whateyermay have been the course of local and casual inconsistency, my own honor coa admit of no disclaimer of instructions tliat were formerly announced, and my own good faith stands inviolable to a pledge voluntarily given. If by thus acting it be my misfortune to offend any portion of those who honored me with, their suffrages, I have only to say to them, and to lny whole country, that I prefer the deepest obscurity of private life, with an unwouhded conscience, to the glare of official eminence, spotted by a sense of moral delinquency,,'- ' " ' ' The presiding officer.. bavins?

Wheat, in my opinion, should be,t!iC" W w 4 - -- only article used in thi country as JegaX tender, in addition to gold and silver. It is, at present, the staple article of our country can be procured by all the settlers hi abundance, can be readily disposed of by the merchants and others, and is not a perishatlo article. ;.-'"-"' V:--"-''"' ": - Tho next.qucstion is, where shall the article or articles, made a legal tender, be delivered 1 If the debtor is allowed the privilege of delivering wheat at any point on tlie navigable rivers, and thereby dis charging his debt, it will throw all the trouble oi getting it to market on the receiver ; this should not be ; the trouble shoulJ devolve on the one who, by delivering hi produce, ia relieved from his liability. Oregon city is at present the business placei and for the convenience ef all parties, would, in my opinion, be the best depot tor the country. Other articles and other places of deposit can be agreed upon between the parties who are transacting business together. Our business is to piovide-for a. man, who, being in debt to another, is pressed for silver, and informed that nothing else will answer in payment; we must in some way provide to relieve him from this difficulty, but, in doing this, we should be cautious not to throw the door too wide open, for, in doing so, we may break down all confidence, and do more injury than good. We are visited occasionally by vessels fur trade and other purposes. I think it would be well to have an officer appointed to reside at the mouth of .the river, whose duty it should be, on tlie affival of any vessel, to board her and deliver the captain a copy of the law relating to the sale, &c. of ardent spirits ; many complaints have come from the inhabitants at the.mouthof tbe river, tliat spiritous liquors have been distributed among the Indians from different vessels, causing much excitement among the Indians, and in one case leading war between two parties of them. - It cannot be expected that a stranger on his arrival should be acquainted with the law on this subject, and he may deal out to Indians and others enought to do a great deal of mischief, before he becomes acquainted with it, unless some steps are taken by you to inform him. The officer so appointed could.inform the proper authorities, 6hould the captain then persist in selling liquor, and the necessary steps to enforce the law could then be-talien -r - There should be a sealer of weights and measures appointed, and no weights or measures used in the colony excepting sucli as are etampwAJbyJiim ; by this means, a uniformity in our weights and measures would be brought about, and one sourco of-complaint removed. - The boundary lines between some of tlie districts hatenat bee defined, and persons living near the borders of stich districts do not really "k?irTn- ItTtsch dis trict they reside. I would call your attention this subject, that you may examine into IT'&J define the boundary lines. v It will be necessary to decide upon and locate the scat of government the present session - I would recommend that a committee beappoiitfyUsaiJwdy, at an early day, to take this mattefiutuxonsTderation A large emigration has this year crossed the Rocky Mountains, and the individuals who composed it are now in our midst, and make one with us. after pnssiflg through many scenes of difficulty and privation. There has. been more suffering than usual among the emigrants 'tlie present season, perhaps in some measure owing to the largeness of the party, which numbered over two thousand persons, but principally owing to an--attempt made by some of then to shorten the way; they failed irt'tkeje.. object, aud many of them, perished in consequence f the'difficultie8 they encountered, encumbered as thev were withf their fatoilics and cattle, in an untried- route. Something should be done to facilitate the arrival of emigrants among us; nearly all the difficulties they encounter occur tetween Walla Walla and the settlements, and perhaps I may bring it still nearer, and say between the Dalles and lliis place. If there can be a remedy provided for this, it should be done at once, and an easy and safe conveyance provided for the emigrant, who may hereafter seek to make this land his home. Two plans have suggested themselves to me; one -is to employ one or more of the old settlers, who profess to be acquainted with the pass leading through the mountains from Fort Boisy, or thereabout, to the upper settlements in the Willamette, to take charge of a party, whose duty it shall be to exarr.ine the route, mark it out, and report to a committee appointed by you. All the particulars of the route should be carefully noted down, particularly the distance between camps where water can be procured, and the quality of tlie water, together with the quantity of grass land that may be in the route ; whether there are any sandy deserts to cross that would be difficult for cattle Jq, pas over, for want of wairr and' proper food. The other plan is to complete the road that has been commenced by Mr. Barlowand others, South of Mount Hood. Either of 'these plans will require funds, and I would recommend tliat a committee be Appointed by you, whose duty it shall be to enquire into the feasibility of either of either of the plaits, and to obtain subscriptions from the settlersr-of the colony to carry the one fixed upon into operation ; the amount required I have no doubt can easily be raised. I have made the following appointments during the recess of the Legislature :-W. II. Wilson, First Judge for the district of Champoic, in place of E. E. Parish, who refused to accept the appointment. Also, Robert Moore, Judge for the Twalaty district in place of II. Iliggins, resigned. There is a vacancy in the Clatsop district, occasioned by the refusal of R. Shortess to accept the office of Judge for that district; as there was no Court to be held in that district previous to the meeting of the Legislature, I have left the office to be filled by you. I received a letter from Jesse Applegate, resigning his seat in your body as Representative from tlie Yam Hill district!- that district will, therefore, not be fully represented, as the notice was not received in time to order a new election. - - I fcra happy to say that the emigrants who have como in this year appear well pleased with tlie regulations we have entered into for our Government and mutual protection, and express themselves as willing to be found on the side of law and order. We consider them a valuable acquisition to our little colony, and find that we are already one people. I cannot close without uniting with you in expressions of gratitude to that I3eing who has so graciously protected our infant colony preserved from war with the savages that surround us, and from internal commotions, and enjoying all the blessings that health can bestow, wc may truly say that we are a favored people, and I trust tliat we may continue to merit the Divine favor by acknowledging our dependence on him, and endeavoring to keep his law in view While making laws for our own Government.

' ' From Cist f Advert her. The late Murder nt Sault St. Hary. A paragraph is goin the rounds of the press, stating the murder, on the 5th inst., of Jamts L Schoolcraft, Postmaster at Sault SI. by an individual named Tanner, for -whose apprehension a reward of one hundred dollars is offered by a brother of the deceased. Tanner is represented as a half breed Indian ia one statement, and in others as cf white areutage, having been made a captive in earlj life, at some one of the early settlements of Pennsylvania or'Kentuckv. He was stated in tlie last ac

count to have been adopted into a savage family, and passed the residue of his life in their midst. The following letter, for which I aru under obligations U Judge Matson of our county, w ill tell who John 'Ihnncr is. Ho must now be 03 years of age : - ' ' North Bend, July 12, 19 15. Mk, Cist : Your friend John Hmdman is in error, alleging that Tanner'a Creek, Indiana, derived its name from roun Tanner being killed by the Indians -ii , . ii i.i i. on its waters. Tanner was not Kineo: at an, aiuiougn doubtless believed to be by the neighborhood, at the tin.e Hindman left Ihe great Miami, which w as soon after Tanner bad been carried away by tlie savages. I knew the whole family well the old man Tanner being the first clergyman I ever heard-pr?ach at North bend, and for some time the only one. " . Tanner, the father, owned the land where Petersburg, Kentucky, is now built, and resided on it, being about three miles below the Miami, and opposite the Creek which dcTlf cd" its name as the station also did, from Tanner, who was the principal man settled there. Ilogan, Tanner's son-in-law, who lived with him, and was a first-rate hunter, gave name to the creek, just above' Aurora. ; ' - In May, 1790, Juhn Tanner, the youngest boy, and nine years of age, was out in the woods gathering walnuts, w hich had been lying over from the previous scason-amrmgthe leaves, when he was made prisoner by a party of Indians, and carried to the Skaicnese towns, in the first place, and afterwards to the Lead waters of the Mississppi. Nothing was heard of him by his friends for years, except that in 1791, the next year, a party of Indians, composed partly of. the same individuals, prowling in the neighborhood, captured Edward Tan ner, a brother of John, and nearly fitteen years old. Afier travelling two dtys journey in the wilderness, the boy appearing contented, and supposing he would he discouraged from attempting to make his escape at such a distance -Xrom home,, his captors relaxed their vigilance, and tlie bov w atching his opportunity, regained his liberty, being obliged in the hurry to leave his hat, which was of undyed wool, behind, and which the Indians carried to their home. They had told him on their way out, that they had carried a boy off from the same place the year before. John Tanner recognized the hat as soon as he saw it, as his brother's. --i. ; - --.- . Nothing was known of John, as already stated, for many years, although Edward attended the various treaties for successive years, and travelled to distant points, even west of the Mississippi. The Indians with whom John was domesticated, had been for years settled on the Upper Mississippi, and traded with tlie Hudson Bay Company, which of course baffled the search thus made. In 1733, the Tanner family left Kentucky for New Madrid, where old Tanner died, after marrying in the mean time a third wife. In 1317, soon after the close of the war; Tanner, who by this time had married an Indian wife, and had six children by her, with a view of learning something about his relations, and expecting to receive a share of the family property, came down the chain of lakes to Detroit, and there reported himself to Gov. Cass, as an Indian captive, taken from opposite the mouth of Cig Miami, in Kentucky, in 17ÜJ. lie gave the family name as Taylor, "which -was as nearly as he could recollect or probably articulate it. - - Governor Cass jjave notice of the fact through the medium of the press, adding tliat the individual would ha present at a treaty to be held with tho Indians at St. Mary s, formerly lurly S Imcn, and now the county scat of Mercer county, Ohio. The Tanner family had removed years since to Nev Madrid, a;id with the exception of . Edward Tanner, was composed of the widow and chiiiiren, born of the later marriages, 6ince John's capt ire. But a nephew by marriage of the young men, named Merritt, who lived where Rising Sun has since been built, having seen the notice, was firmly pursuaded that the individual, although improperly named, was his long lost and loogjwMighX uneitiilaiincr ;- and under that conviction tfent to the treaty ground, and found the case- ai le supposed it to be. The two started off for the Miami reg-wnrglher. Tamier, although in feeble health, having fever and ague at the time, was with difficulty persuaded to sleep in the cabins which they found on the route, preferring to camp cut; and to gratify hitn, one fine night, Merritt, having selected a suitable spot for repose, went to a neighboring house, got cccls, and attempted to kindle a fire, which, as the leaves and Jbrush were wet, horned with difficulty. i Tanner, who had become thoroughly Indian during his long residence among them, now got op in a pet, kicked the fire to-pifceasand, flashing powder from his rifle, made his own fire, remarking;- White man's fire nognodw. .Indian fire good!" They stopped all night at my house, on their way to the lower country, and there I obtained these particulars. When they reached New Madrid, it so happened that Edward was out on one of his excursions to hunt up his brother, and John after waiting a few days, became impatient to get back, and left for home without even seeing his brother, who had sought him so anxiously for years. Soon after reaching his Indian home, Tanner had a quarrel with an Indian, and was badly shot, but, after lingering a great while, recovered so far as to set out with -Col. Long and a party who were on their way to Detroit. His strength gave way on the journey, and they were obliged to leave him on the road. He finally recovered, and was employed by the LJnited States authorities as interpreter among the Indians at the Sault St. Marie, at the outlet of Lake Superior, which is the last I heard of him. ' Tanner's Life " was published years ago, but I never saw a copy of it, and do not know whether it is now extant. Respectfully yours, . ; - .. ' . J. MATSON. A wretclvmmctf lartin, outraged the person of a girl of -sixteen years of age, in the woods near ISruns wick, Maine, on the 19th inst., and like a fiend boasted of it in a low tavern. ' He has been put in jail to await his trial. - -; , . Dr. F. II. B. Childers, of Union, Kentucky, was found dead on Sunday morning, the 19th ult., in that town, in a spot where he had lain some time, having been shot from his horse. . - Obituary - Died, on the 6th inst., in this city, Mißs Patst ; Ellen Talbott, aged 17 years. This is a most afflicting dispensation to the bereaved family of the deceased. - She had just returned from a distant school, where she had perfected herself in every accomplishment; but had gladdened by her presence but a few dt.ys those who had so fondly and faithfully watched over her, ere she was snatched away from tliis bright and beautiful world which she wan so well calculated to grace and adorn. How can we reconcile ourselves to such a loss, but in the hope that the departed will find in the world of spirits a place which could be filled by none but her, and where those who loved her so well will ultimately again meet to dwell together in never ending joy. . Died, recently, at Lexington, Kentucky, where he had been removed to receive the medical attention of Dr. Dudley, after a Högering and painful illness, in the 23d year of his oge, George Elackfokd, only son 'and child of the Hon. Isaac Elackford, cf this State. This interesting young man, who has many friends in Indianapolis, previous to his illness had just completed a liberal education, and bid fair to sustain a useful and eminent station in society, and do honor to his worthy parent. That, parent is now childless, and his son is cut down by the relentless destroyer in his early youth. The intelligence of his death was doubly severe, as he had only returned but lew da's Pl,,ce Irom a x 10 exuigion, under the J delusive hope that his son s health would be restored: How vain and transitory are all earthly hopes and prospects 1 ' Truly Death makes no distinction in Lis victiir.s. ' Wealth, influence, youth, and intellect, 11 bow before the mandate of the fell destroyer. The afflicted parent has our warmest sympathies.
