Why, said the skipp-r, -I sliomd not have bought it unless I wanted it; and if 1 had wanted it, I should have known what to do with it. That is, Mr. M'Grie, precisely your case.' Ah. weel, my mon, but you're an uncochiei. Do you na ken whether his precious lariestv, may (Hod biers him, aint

Why, I don't know, but some r-port ot that so'rt may bo stirring: for what with

'AlxTut thi5" time, as the skippe

just brought the indigo was just passing the principal inn of Aberdeen, he observed a

post chaise and four, with the horses all foam, stop with a most imposing jerk at the door, and the managing and confidential clerk of the firm of Hubbens. Hobbins, and Kohins, the eminent drysalters. The clerk almost flew into the arms of the skipper, and with breathless eagerness asked him if he had delivered the indigo to Donald M'drie? 'No. It is still in the vessel, but he has the manifest and th bill of sale.' 'Then the property is now vested in him?' 'As surely as the hair upon your own head is vour own property. Ho seem'

cautious even for a Scotchman.'

'Is he in a large line of business?" I can't really say that. We should call his place of trade nothing better than a

chandler's shop in London. Hut they man

age things in another guess w ay bere. j "'What can he ossihry want with this indigo? He has actually drained the market," and we have just received advices that all the crops of indigo have failed in the West Indies. There is also a large demand for it from government, and is now actually worth its weight in gold.' You don't say so. Why, he was saying something like it. No doubt but that Qome West Indiaman has made the run by herself, and reached this place without waiting far convoy, and brought the news of the failure of the crop. Hesidfs, he talked largely about his correspondents.' And T am losing .ill this precious time! Where dors he live? I know nothing about the place.' 'I will go with you if you choose. I should liko to see how the dounco Scot

the destructives, gives his opinion "i" weight with his party, it might be well to collect such as he basdeliberately advanced

and supported upon the great questions of

national policy now under consideration. As w e have some of these opinions at hand wo will quote them, and by comparing them with those which he now espouses, some estimate can bo made of the value of his influence. It is admitted on all

hands -that Mr. Calhoun has been cne of

the most ardent as well as able advocates of a National Hank, and has claimed that the last one was more indebted to him than

to any other man for its establishment. Hut a taritf that monster against which South Carolina raised the flag of nullification what were his opinions oa that sub-

Extract Irom tae Speech ot .Mr. Laihoun. April, 1810. "In regard to the question how far manufactures ought to be fostered, Mr. Cseid it was the duty of this country as a means

of defence to encourage the domestic industry of the country, especially that part of it Which provides the necessary mate

rials for clothing and defence.' "I lav the claims of the manufacturers entirely

out of view, said Mr. C. but on general

principles, without regard to their interest, a certain encouragement should be extended at least to our woollen and cotton manufacturers." Speaking of the manufacturing interest. Mr. C. said, "That it was an interest purely American, as much so as ag-icul-

tare. Again:

and that I have full rower and authority to do mi! wa.rd of his treachery 111 the poor compli

what I please in this, as in every other transaction. My name, sir, is Daniel Hubbens, at your service. What do you say to my oflVr!' 4I should like to fiance at your authority no offence.' Mr. Daniel Hubbens was offended, however; but, finding the Scotchman firm, he was obliged to give him the necessary vouchers that he was empowered to treat with him for a re-sale of the merchandise The examination of this document still further opened the eyes of M Grie to the value of his late purclu.se, and he consequently became more dogged and conequential.

Mr. Hubbens. perceiving th turn that affairs were likely to take, and that he had a difficult

task to perform, at once altered the loftiness of

hi manner, and said,

Well, well, my dear sir, the fact is, you have long bought from us. T wish now to see if we, our .cry respectable firm, cannot purchase from

you. So come down to my inn, and we ll tau the matter over a bottle of the bet veu can cal!

for.' On, there's na occasion: just say a here.' No, 110, by dear sir; come with me you must. I am very tired, and the best supper that Aberdeen can produce, is providing for us two. Sao ve are prepared for mo. I understand. Ye would na hae ta-en all this troublous wark for little. Ml awa with you, my man.' And away tLey lth went; in the short journey to the ian. Donald cogitating; on the utraout that he should ask. for the resale of the iudijro, and the

.ianagi;iK clerk, enueavoriiifc io unen iu utujuis from the vulue of the goods in hi possession. The supper and its accesse-ries were tho best that ever fell to the lot of Donald to share; but he was prudent, and the clerk gained no advantage throuch the means of his lavish expenditure of

choice wines; so, after many flourishes, and much

circumlocution, he was forced to put the plain question to las cuet, What will you take to pass vour caro of indigo bark to our firm!' Troth, Mr. Hubbens, I m at a loss a bit. Phar will ye gie. truly T Whv, Mr. M'Grie. the fact is, we have received a very unexpected order for the article, and our people have empowered me P come to Aberdeen, and ofl'i r ou a thousand pounds to return the cargo just as" you got it. There is a glorious chance for vou! A thousand pounds! D:vt you feel yourself in heaven! No, no; 1-m better advised than that comes to. I didna buy the mil kle lot but upon sound calculations. I have friens, sir, friens who have the first intelligence.' It is as I suspected, thought the clerk; he

has had the first news of the general failure of

the crops. . . Ml tell you what it is Mr, M Grie-it is a bold step, but I II take it upon myself to dou...C fer. Two thousand, sir two thousand! Hey.' Indeed no, my man. I can make mair o-t than that?' 'Well, I must let you keep it.' said the youngster, with an air of well affected indifference. Weel, wefl, young sir, here's to yer verra Sude health, and a pleasant journey back again.' Thank you, sir. May the indigo prosper with you'' They drank two glasses of win each in silence. '1 he mortification of Hubbens could not be concealed, whilst M Grie s visage represented content carved out in stone.

After a considerable pause, the clerk lost his

temper entirely his patience had Ion-j gone before it and ho resumed the attack upon the imrerturable Donald. At length tho would be pur-

chaser, not at all liking the prospect, and tho

shame of an unsuccessful journey tacK to ni

principals, in a fit of desperation, puUcl out his private instructions, and said. 'Here, read that,

nhttinBtP mnn of iron that vou are. Just so far

am I permitted to go, and no faithcr.' M'Grie read very deliberately that hia host was empowered to offer him the freight both ways, and four thousand pounds. It is driving me hard,' said Donald, 'but as you are an unco-amiable young man, and no to fash you with your employers, gude men. Ml just consent. And to show ye that I can be liberal too. why, when ye hae settled the reckoning. Ml stand a pint o' Glenlivet atwern the twa of us. ! After this, the transaction was immediately wound up, and the money paid down. j Donald M-Gric took this accession of fortune coolly and temperately. He reflected that men make a thousand unlucky for one lucky mistake, and that cargoes of indigo don't always quadruple themselves in price when bought by misadventure. Ivefiecting upon all this, ho resolved at this, the proper nea.n. to retire from business. 80 he made over his stock in trade nd his house to his nephew jar a consideration,' of course and bought the lands of C G , whuh said estate is. at this moment, worth five times the monev Daid for it.

It will greatly increase our mutual dependance and intercourse, and will a3 a necessary consequence, excite an increased attention to Internal hnprovcmc?its, a subject every way so intimately connected with the ultimate attainment of national strength, and tho perfection of our political institutions.7' Tho doctrine of Internal Improvement:," had in Mr. Calhoun, one of its most eloquent defenders. In 1819, in his Report on Roads, Canals, &c, he says,'A judicious system of roads and canal, constructed for the convenience of commerce and the transportation of the mail, without

any reference to military operations, is m itself, among the most efficient means for the more complete defence of the United

States." Such a system bv consolidating

What heart would not feel the solemnity of the occasion! What runiseller could he have witnessed the specta:;a would not have been induced to quit his murderous traffic by the view of it? The fact of the murder nd suicide (for it ended in the euicide of the murderer,) are the following: Atwell Tucker, in a state of intoxication, last Thursday, the 17th inst., wis endangering the life and propeity of one of his worthy and respectable neighbors, having first made an insult upon him. This gentleman procured a writ and placed it in the hands of the unfortunate officer, Capt. Ilunlly, to take Tucker info custody. Capt. Huntly was a bold and courageous officer, and on receiving the writ proceeded immediately to execute the business of bis office, and when within four rods of Tucker was shot by him with a gun heavily loaded with buckshot, nearly the whole charge entered his body. He died in about thirty minutes. Tucker ran for the woods. Men were soon in pursuit of him, but were unable to nnd him td! next morniag at 8 o'clock, when he was seen to enicr his own house from a small piece of woods near by. He was there infoimed that Capt. Huntly was dead. He then said he wculd shoot himself. His wife and rhildren followed him as he returned to the woods, and before leaving them he requested his wife to have him buried that afternoon at 5 o'clock in the corner of bi own garden! He was requested by one of his old comrades to t3ke a last drink of rum with him. but he refused, saying, "I shall never drink any thing more hut a little water' He then tailed upon his son to bring him some water, and after drinh ing it he departed, leaving his wife and children to listen to the report of that gun which should put an end to his earthly existence. Men soon began to collect and r-urronnd the woods, and presently the report of his gun was heard and he was found a lifidofss corpse.
