Some years ago, a young gentleman, Mr. L , paid his addresses lu tht sister of Mr. B , with whom he lived in the habits of intimacy and fiieud .hip. And it ro happened, that at the same time, Mr. B , paid hi. addresses lo the sister of Mr. L . At length these attentions ripened into t:e:irerconneiions, and the maniages of both the joung gentlemen were Eolcmnir.cd at or.evtnd the same time and place. Wmie the company were together, the two young men, now brothers, stepped out to a neighboring house of enteitainment, with a view, as they ep.id, "to break a bottle of wine together, and bid farewell to their bachtlcichi'p." While taking the wine a :haip depute arose between eome gentlemen who happened to be present. Unfortunately the two brothers took sides, and as the dis pute went on, one gave the other the lie. From thi3 moment hard words were uttered on both sides, and their pas-ions rose to the highest pitch. A challenge was given by one, and r.ccepted by the other. No delay was desired their seconds were chosen, and the duel fought immediately. Both fired at the word, and both shots took effect. Both fell, and lived long enough to .hake hands and forgive each other c0tjn after both r'oted their pvM in ucain : i tic reader is leit to conceive of the distress and sorrow ofthrs two yocng married ladies and their friends, for 6uch cannot be described.

Gathna'.te, and John Shotwcll, a Cqmmittce ' A a numerous meeting of citizens of - i f-,. .i F.sex and Middlesex, in New Jersey. FdL zj Ctiizcps I have received your very kind letter of the 4th inst. written in behalf of the citizens whose committee you are, ami tender to you and to them my grateful thanks for the sentiments you have been pleased to express with regard to myself and to the citizens associated with rae, in the late administration of the general government. The letters to Mr. Clay and Mr. Southard, inclosed in yours to me, have been delivered to them. In a free Uepubhe, the first w ish of every man, invested with a public trust, Should b?, by the faithful discbarge of his

uuiaiu, lucii apuiuuauuiiFor the nrst, depending as it does upon his own will, he is responsible to God and his? country. For the second, depending as it c"oes upon the will of others, he can be no farther responsible than by the performance of his duties. As the re-election of a President of the United States, after one term of servic, is the only manifestation of public opinion, by which the approbation of his fellow citizens, upon his services can be ascertained, it is an object of laudable ambition, acd of blameless desire. If it cannot be obtained by public service aone, me auty ol the servant who has thus failed to obtain the approbation of his masters cheerfully to acquiesce in that expression of their will by which it is denied; and calmly to await that final judgment upon his public labors and aspirations, which speaks in the impartial voice of after ages. In the recent expression of th will of the people of the Union, with regard to the general Administration, it has been consolatory to me to observe the large and respectable portion of. them, who, though not composing a majority of the whole yet composing upwards of a half a million of s-uiTrages, and proclaimed by those suffrages their approbation ot my humble but faithful etlorts to serve my country. It has beca peculiarly eratetul to me to perceive, that the support of those who had extended tome their com:dence in advance, has in a very few instaa ces been withdrawn, while that of w hole states which had judged less favourably before, has been generously yielded to mc now. Of these, New Jersey herself is one; and permit mc to avail myself of this occasion to extend to the whole of her pure, unsophisticated, truly Republican and intelligent population, my heart-felt tbrnks for that support. Let me arid, that In one of her native sons, I have found a-: n assistant ia the arduous duties of my station, a m. u with a heart a3 pure as it is iven to human nature to possess: with a mind ckpablo of thesa conception. which, lead nations to the paths of glory, ith a promptitude and energy of action, which disappointment cannot discourage, nor the infirmities of disease depress. The navy of the Union will remember him long Nor is it, 1 trust, within the compass of political vicissitude, to withhold hmi long from participation m the highest council? of our country. I need not say it is one o? those to whom your enclosed letters were addressed. The other ia equally woithy of the honor in which )ou have associated hi:n with rue by your letter. Upon him the foulest slandei3 have been showered. Lon kuown and appreciated, as successively :

Prejudice and Passion have charged him with obtaining thatothce by bargain and corruption. Pc fore you my fellow-citizens, in the presence of our country and of Heaven, 1 pronounce that charge totally unfounded. This tribute of Justice is due from rf.e to him, and 1 seize with pleasure the opportunity afforded me by vour letter of discharging the f Vr.gatioa." Ot my rjotives for tendering to him the Department cf State when I did, let that !tDan vho questions them come forward. llnim leek round among the Statesmen, ' and Legislators of this uatien snd of that day. Let him then select and name the man whom by his pre-eminent talents, by his splendid services, by his ardent patriotism, bv his all embracing public spirit. by his fervid eloquence in behalf of the rights and liberties of mankind, by his long perie?Ce ia ,,-c affi"rs thc ?nf?T: eign and domestic, a President of the I nited States, intent only upon the honor and welfare of hia country ought to have pre ferred to Henry Clay ? Let him name the man, and then judge you, my fellow citizens, of my motives. Korean I pass over this opportunity, without offering a congenial tribute of justice and of gratitude to those other eminent and virtuous citizens who have been united with me in '.the performance of my painful, but I will ret say thankless, labors. 1 took not one ci them from the circle, though I leave every one of them amoog the dearest of my pe: sonal friends. Amidst all the difficult. , discouragements, and troubles which have attended my administration, it has b;en r: never failing source of consolation to me, that its iuternal harmony has been more perfect than thatof any other administration; which this country has ever w itnessed.
