Fkom the Glob;. Hammond cf the Cincinnati TSazette, thus introduces an extract from the pamphlet of Dr. Watkins son: T. W ATKINS. 'Since the release of T. Watkins from prison, a controversy has arisen between bis son, V. II. Watkins and R. S. Coxe, one cf the counsel, that del&nded him at bis trial. The facts disclosed in this controversy arc very discreditable to Mr. Coxe But I introduce the subject principally for the purpose of making the subjoined extract, from the publication cf young Mr Watkins: My father, unhappily for us ell, is still in a state of mental suffering and depression, which shuts him up from the wotld, perhaps even more entirely than

When locked within the walls of his pns on. To drag him again before the tribu-1 rial of public opinion, after all he has ex- j perienced, and in the state of mind to which obloquy has reduced him, may perhaps, be gratifying to a few individu als, who, in the scale of being, hang between the human and the brute, but I cannot think so ill of man in general, as to believe there arc many, even of those ?ho may think they have most cause to bt his enemies, who can take pleasure in such an exhibition of him. Whatever may have been his failings, his imprudencies, his errors, I believe him to have sincerely repented them: and his family, who know him best, know, that even in his least defensible acts, his heart never for a moment admitted a criminal intention. To others, the consequences of his faults have been trivial at most, the ! loss ol a little money to his family, they have been almost overwhelming; that they have not been altogether fatal, will, perhaps be taken by the public as some evidence, that they a least arc not wholly undeserving of the respect in which they are still held by a few families of She highest worth, and that , who have been their only support and stay, cannot be the infamous character Mr. Cox de picts me. But, however the public may differ from his family, in their estimate of my father's character, of the atone ment he has already made fcr his faults. of his future intentions, and of the claims ; which these give him to the forbearance j and forgiveness of a christian Eommtini tv: 8ti 1 1 we live in a country where nei ther honors nor dishonors are nereaucry vthere his family have a right to de xnand that they be judged not by hit pretensions respect ana esteem, uui uj their own " This Mr Coxe, and those who erc associated with him in the Watkma af . 1 1 fair, arc the National Republican leaders in this city; and formed Mr, Clay's committee of management. The public will remember what excessi-e sympathy they manifested for Doctor Watkins while in prison, and fot bis family, .and how they denounced the President fcr his iniusticc and cruelty. His son, hnwpvcr. nnw ndmits the iustice of that j - , r, nrn.tvA .,;. of which the President's clemency was

always ready to grant reuei, upon proper i with most attentive an( impartial stedv, and applicaioti, but which the father was sketches of the Bar and Pulpit of Philadelrestrained from asking, while his politi-1 phia shall occasionally appear from the pen cal friends endeavored, with their mock ! of competent judges, uninfluenced by persympathies, to draw political results j sonal acquaintance or professional aitachfromhis continued imprisonment.

a picture of the depravity of Mr. Clay's .parly leaders, have we in the fact, that vrhile theunhannv man suffered a voluntary martyrdom in jail, for their sakes, Jhey availed themselves of the opportu-j nitv, first to defraud the public of its; risrhts n his property, under pretence ot providing for his wretched family, and x .u u 1 .u . j ,1 j; when they had thus obtained the dispoeal of his means, with at least charitable pretexts to justify the wrong to the pub lie, they next had the abominable batbar ity to rob th innocent wife and children of the sufferer, of the whole ot the property which they received under the pretext of holding for their benefit. Honest, sympathetic National Republican 'eadersl How cruel it was in the President not to release Doctor Watkins, withcot application and against the pre scribed forms of law!! And how kind, how charitable, how merciful, in the doctor's political and professional friends. to take advantage of his misfortunes and confinement, to strip him and his hapless family oi all the means entrusted to their care!! Major Jack Downing was a witness of the attack upon the President by Lieutenant Randolph and thus describes the effect of the insult upon the old General: "My stars, I wish you could have been the President just at that moment. If you ever see a lion lying down asleep ttnd a man coming along with a great club and hit the lion a pelt with all his might and then see the fire flash in his eyes, and hear him roar and gnash his teeth, you might give some sort of a guess what kind of a horricane we had of it. The old general no sooner felt the fellow's paw in his face than he sprang like a steel trap, and atched his cane and went at him. But there was cuch a crowd of men there in an instant, that it was as much impossible to get j through 'en at it was lor the British to j ret turcuih hi m e or conon wool oatrs et New Orleans. If it hadn't been for that, I don't think but he would have kicked the fellow through the side of the cteam boat in two minutes." Good Advice.

Robert R Harden, in a letter to the

'Southern Planter,' gives it as his decicien 'I jiat the creditors of said estate he notiopinion that no spirits of turpentine ! ficj of the filing and pendency of said ought to be used with the oil ir. painting j complaint, by publication in the' Western houses. He says that painters will tell jsun for six weeks successively and that.

a . . 1 you they put it in to cause me on io ory. But the fact, he says, is, that the oil is decomposed, and its whole preservative effect destroyed. In proot ol this it is I stated that nothing will take grease spots j out of clothes or remove oil spots from a noor, like spirits oi lurpcnunc. i nib, it is affirmed, is within the knowledge of every housekeeper and washerwoman. . Mr. H. says that two coats ot oil and j paint, if the spirits of turpentine be o mitted, will cause the timber to be lasting, while the painting will also retain for a long time its original beauty; but that otherwise the paint will soon wash off, and the decay of the timber will be very little if at all prevented. The oil of Palma Christalis is said to be equal to that of Rax seed, if not superior, lor preserving wcod. We have frequently observed that painting, in this country, had very little permanency or preservative effect. May not the suggestion of Mr. Harden deserve the consideration ot painters and builders. Ala Sta'e Intel PROSPECTUS Of a Novel and Interesting Weekly Publication, to be entitled The Spy in Philadelphia, AND SPIRIT OF THE AliE. It is very philosophically observed by Addison, that our greatest pride arises from doing good to each other, or, in other words, from being individually serviceable to society. This can be best effected by a proper application of our intelligences, meting them out according to the necessities of the com munity, and less lamenting the decline ot public virtue than checking the progress of public vice: for vice retarded is virtue ad vanced. As the direction and discussion of measures of national and state pobcv arc . :tt1f h,Kinr of thnilnilviii. tho fitll ;m. j jjcut-pu 0c Addison's remark is nccessaripli I lv neglected, and the consequence is, that 1 viccbshieldc(1 bv wcalth aml worWlv illfll1 ence are abvoaa am0ng the peo)le, not only unsuspected, but courted ami requited; and that a publication is necessary which will not only detect, but exhibit these wolves in cep s clothing to public scorn a mark by whicii others wm oe warneu trom their intent and a service be rendered to society.
