THRILLING INCIDENT. BY W. A. C0MST0CK.

I passed up the natural avenue and came out unon the green. Mv feelings

were vcrv poetical as I walked slowly

towards the door of the village church. I entered. A popular preacher was holding forth, and the little meeting house was

much crowded. Several persons were

standing up, and I soon discovered that 1

must retain my perpendicular position, as

everv seat was crowded. I however

pressed up the aisle, until 1 had gained

position where I could have a lair view ot

the laces ot nearly all orescnt. 1 soon

perceived that I was an object of alien

tion. Many of the congregation looked

curiously at mc, for I was a stranger to

them all. In a few moments, however the attention of every one present appear cd to be absorbed in the ambasador of grace

and 1 also began to take an interest in hi

discourse. The speaker was fluent, and

many of his flights were even sublime.

The music ot the woods and the Iragrance of the heath seemed to respond to

his eloquence. 1 hen it was no great stretch of the imagination to fancy that

the white, handed creatures around me with their pouting lips and artless inno

ci nee were beings of a higher sphere.

hue my feelings were thus divided be

twecn the beauties and the blessings of the

two worlds, and wrapt in a sort of poetic

al devotion, I detected one fair lass, with

large black eyes, stealing several glance

her artless and warm heart is superior to

I at length came within a stone's throw

of her. She suddenly haulted and turned

her face towards mc. My heart swelled to bursting. I reached the spot where

she stood. !She began to speak, and I

took oil my hat as it domir reverence to

an angel.

'Are you a pedlar?' 'No. my dear girl, that is not my occu

"Walk in," said the man of the house,

in a voice rather cross I thought. "How far is it to a tavern?" said I.

"Take a chair," said he. "I han't got time to sit, I've got a little

elated, I believe I just want to know

how far it is to a tavern.'

"Where ye going?" "To l'oston. "What are you going to Boston for?"

"Why going for a number of things, guess 'tan't worth while to go into

particulars.

"W Inch way did vou come lrom:

"That's away towards l'opcrsquash.

he. "No, I believe I'll, go to a tavern" You shall be welcome if you'll stay." Then the old lady, who had sot still all the time darning stockings, looked up and said, "You can stay as well as not." "Pull off your great coat," said the old man. "Zcb, (Zeh was a great hoy that set on the dye tub in the corner,) hang up his coat and hat, and you get some supper, Hannah." "I han't hungry,' says I, "for I've cat two pocketfulls of doughnuts since I sot out this morning." "Never mint!, must eat if we ain't hungry."

So Hannah, (that was his daughter) stirred round, and hung on the tea-kittle,

mil fried some ham, and warmed a iniuce-

pie, and got supper ready in a hurry.

W c ve been to supper once, said the

old man, "but we'll keep vou company

and wo all kneeled down, and lie prayei

was used to it that I had liked to cried.

When be had done, we all got up, and

sat down, and were still for a minute and

gave it to mc, and said, "you'll sleep right

view to refute the following sentence in

my message " i hat the extravagance oi

our government is rapidly increasing, is

nit too maiulest in the fact that its cxpen-

iturcs have nearly been doubled within

the last few years." Tliev have exhibited

in their report, a table of the expenditures, of the Government from IS 17 tip to 1831,

which makes the average expenditures ol

Jen. Jackson's administration to be over

two millions of dollars per annum less

than the average expenditures of Other

administrations during the years iclerred

i. Certainly without intending it this tale is eminently calculated to deceive the

egislature and the people, because it omit

ted to state that the chief expenditures of

the years referred to, preceding this admin

istration, was to pay the responsibilities of

the last war, and the hundreds o millions

of national debt which was all paid oil

in those years, except a small balance paid

during the first term of Gen. Jackson's ad

ministration. The committee omitted also

o include any portion of the two last years

of this administration in tlie table, which

has been more extravagant than that of any period of our government. I have

seen it stated this winter on the floor ol

Congress, and uncontradicted, that the

expenditures of this administration had in

creased from fifteen millions, to thirty eight

millions of dollar.-, which is stated to be

the expenditures last year by this administration, without one cent being paid on ac

count of the national debt; winch show

m increase cd twenty-three millions ol

lollars a year, in the expenditure of Gov

ernment, atter excluding the sum paid an

nually on the national debt. 1 do no

vouch for the perfect accuracy of this

statement, as I have not the Secretary ol

the Treasury's reports before mc, but pre

sump it is substantially correct. There

can however be no doubt that mv state

ment is far within the difference. The

committee are also mistaken in the asser

tion "that I was elected in 13'2(, 2S, 30

and by professions of friendship for

the present administration and its distin

guisliing principles. In the first place the

administration did not exist until 1??2!)

I was elected, it is true, in 1820 and 1828

upon the principles avowed by General

Jackson and his party at that time, but so

soon as he abandoned those principles

which he did soon after his election, and

adopted, those of Mr. Yan Buren, 1 op

posed his administration, and my vote

and speeches recorded by tin journals of

the tunes, will show, that 1 have never

supported one of those measures to in

crease the powers of the Government, or

those high handed and reckless usurpa

lions which so distinguished this adminis

tra'.ion, nor did I ever, at anytime, muc

less after I disapprovedlthe course of his ail

ministration, name General Jackson, either in a speech or publication during either

of my elections. The committee close their report as fi

lows: "and did not the unexampled pros pcritv, power, and glory of our country
