Then may we sit under the delightful shadow of this sacred tree, and gather in rich abundance its luxuriant fruits, and breathe with exhilarating pleasure its salubrious atmosphere. B it if w e become the votaries of vile ignorance with all its cursed train, instead of intelligence and its worthy attend tuts, this tree will no longer ilouiish.

DEATH OF YOI. H. CUAYVEOltl).

The Southern mail has brought us

the news of the death of William II

Crawford, of Georgia; a distinguished

citizen, whose name is familiar to al

readers, as having formerly filled a large

space in the public eye. He is said to

hate died, some day in the week before

last, at the house of a friend, a few miles

from Llberton, to which place he, was on his way to preside as Judge at the September term of the Superior Cqurt

ol Libert county.

In recurring to Ihe points of charac

ter of this distinguished citizen, we speak of him as we knew him, in the prime of life and in all the vigor of his

faculties: in the days when disease had

not reached him, nor had the hand of

. 1

and comparatively unknown, and taking a seal in a body even then illustrious

for falent and high character, he soon made himself known and respected by

the force of natural ability, ei orgy, and loftiness of mind. His speeches were

remarkable for their strength, and his votes for their honesty and indepeu dence, and what procured for him pro

bably more respect and general regard than any other quality, was his unconcealed disdain of every thing like pretence, sublet f.ig", or the oidinary arts and tricks of mere parly-men. Bold and fearless in his eourse, he was alva s to be found in the front of battle. lie shunned no responsibility: ho compromised no principle. Jf, indeed, he had a faull as a politician, il was rather in contemning too haughtily the nr-toim and seeming which form a pari oi the usages of those who mingle much ifl

uiblie nffiirs; preferring downright

truth, in all its simplicity, and sill lis nakedness loo.lo the circumlocution and

leriphraze of older and more practised

talesmen. His influence in the Senate soon be

came proportionate to fhe respect with

which he impressed that body for his

ibihties, hut, more than all, for his per

fect integrity and unflinching firmness.

He became the acting President of that

body at an earlier period after entering it than any other individual ever did

within our knowledge; and in that station, which he filled with great dignity

ind propriety, discovered an aptitude

for public

the hold

Slates to the Government of France

lecnn.ing vat ant. in the 3 ear I CI'.?, bv

the decease of ftlr. Bvui.ow, and that

being then a station of very high trust

ind confidence, Mr. Mmmsox, with a

discernment which did him honor, se

lected Mr. Ctt wvi'orii to fill it, and all Congress approved ihe selection. Mr. C.

remained in 1-ranee during the ti v jng

period of our war w ith Great Britain, and on his return received the appointment of Secretary of War, which station brought him again lo the view of his fellow citizens. In a year or two afterwards he became Secretary of the Treasury, and discharged fhe duties of that office, as he had those of the preceding, with a fidelity and a manliness that augmented his already great popularity. Whilst occupying that station, public opinion pointed him out as one of the prominent candidates for Ihc office of President of the United States, on the retirement of Mr. Monro k. In the midst of Ihe canvass for that office, with Ihe fairest prospects of success to the efforts of his friends, he was struck down by disease, which paralyzed hU system, and left him so enfeebled as to crealc a doubt whether he would he in a condition, if elected, to discharge ihe duties of the office. Whatever ground thorn might have been for this doubl, ii had weight enough to determine the election against him, when it became necessary (there being no choice by (he people) for the House to choose between the three candidatees who received the highest number of votes for the Presidentship; for it was the ground upon which several members of that body, who had preferred Mr. Ckvw iord, voted first for him who was fheir second choice, and whose upright and prosperous administration of Ihe public affairs subsequently justified the confidence thus reposed in him. After Ibis event, Mr. Crawford, though invited fo remain at the head of the Treasury, retired from the General Government to private life, from which he was appointed to a seat on the bench of his own State; in Ihe discharge of the duties of which judicial office he w as, it appears, occupied at the time of his decease. With a hasty pen we have thus briefly (raced the history of Mr. Crawford's public course as far as known to us. In his domestic relations, and in all the private relations of his life, he enjoyed no less the love of his family and ihc affection of his friends, than in his public life he possessed their unbounded respect and confidence. From the world, in which he acted so conspicuous a part, he has for years been cut off, but not from the attachment of those who knew him best, and whose hearts have never left him, though so far withdrawn from the sphere of their vision. The news of his decease, though after so severe a prostration of his physical powers, fairly within the course of nature, cannot be received with indifference by any one who ever had, like us, the opportunity of a familiar knowledge of his many public and private virtues.
