Various opportunities for intercourse occurred, and at a fitting time, Robert sPm t . a. .-,. - ivewne naa untolded his beait, and oETer ed it on the shrine of her affections. . The offering was not disdained, and the record of their devotion and their, vows was wit nessed above. . :., i ': . The storm of war seemed to be rapidly gathering over the colonies, and Robert Dewrie found himself more and more al ienated from the sympathies and views of uolonel i'owell. It was a sad thought, but his soul was too elevated, his patriot ism too noble, to lie seduced from his duty even by the silken lure of love. ' The young patriot's open heart could not conceal entirely tho joys which ani mated it, and WaUeck was led to sopect the fact By the adoption of a system of espionage, he had satisfied himself that Robert Dewrie was the rival most , to be dreaded in his conquest of Amelia Pow ell's heart. On the preceding night he had followed him to Queen Street, and revealed to the astonished father the dis agreeable troth, which had enabled him to surprise the lovers. Amelia, with a sad heart, had seated herself in the sitting-roAro. The book she held, received no share "of her atten tion. Her mind was overshadowed with anxiety for her lover.'. As she was thus pondering her clouded prospects, her fath er, who had just returned from the gold smith's shop, entered the apartment. From the events of the previous night. she expected to be treated with cold stern ness ; but to her surprise, lie greeted lie 'with even more than usual gentleness, and imprinted a fatherly kiss, of affection on her cheek. ' "You look pale this morning, Amelia; yon are ill ! said Colonel Powell, in tone ot solicitude ; for whatever his faults, whatever the peculiarities of his nature, he loved : Lis daughter, his onfy child, with an earnest devotion. "No, father, I am qnito well," replied Amelia, and the tears gathered in her eyes her father's gentleness had melte.l her tender heart. "What ails yon, child ? Why these tears ?" and the fond father wiped away the reproaching drops. "Forgive me, father ; forgive me that I offended yon last night. 'Nay, thins: no more of it, Amelia ; forget him, he is unworthy your love." - . 1 S 1 "L)o not say so, iatner; l love mm fondly, trnly." Colonel Powell was distressed to find that the affair of the previous evening. which he had interrupted, was not an idle flirtation, as he had anxiously hoped. lie saw with the deepest solicit mle the inroads which a single night of sorrow had made, Whatever his own prejudices against the a l 1 . r.t. i . 1 1-1 nmon OI UIS aaugnier wiiu a uui-ueauw rebel, the event was now rendered impos sible by the infamy of the young patriot. His, experience of woman's heart clearly indicated the danger of crossing a fond and tender affection like that of his be loved daughter'. "I trnst, 'my child, you "have not irre trievably bestowal yonr aflectioffs npon tills young man," said Colonel Powell, after a long pause in which the painful realities of his daughter's position had rapidly flitted through his mind. Amelia made no redy, but gazed with a look of inexpressible anxiety into the face of her father. :, "You must forget him, Amelia, yon must, indeed ; he is uiterly unworthy of you," said Colonel Powell, in a sorrowtul tone.' "No, father, he is all that is manly, true and just. I love him for his virtuej, for his pure and noble nature. . You can not know him, father ; yon are prejudiced against him,", pleaded Amelia from the mine of tenderness in her heart. "I grieve for you, my daughter ; but recent events have disclosed his true char acter. J If he were a different man, I might took with favor upon him." . " "What do you mean, father ? ' What recent events T Do yon refer to the Bat tle, of Lexington f His heart is trne to his country ; if he is at fault. It is because he has been misguided, j Do not condemn him for that.". " 1 . "Alas, my child, he is even worse than a traitor io his country." , , . r ,"D6 not wound me with these dark words. Tell me all; I know he is inca pable of sany baseness." '.j,r. ."Your heart deceives yon. Amelia. The man yon love is a murderer I" ' " ' ' '1A murderer I no, father, no ! You wrong Mm," and the devoted girl clasped with convulsive energy, the Jiand of her father. ' . ' 1 "It is too true, my child may God be merciful to yon basely and cruelly Robert Dewrie has taken the life of his own uncle!" " . , - . . - The cheek of the Btricken daughter blanced, and her frame trembled with the violence of her emotions. With painful effort she maintained her composure, while Colonel Powell narrated the revolting particulars of the tragedy at the gold smith's. The suspicions circumstances which had criminated her lover, were placed in the most heart-rending minute ness before her. But she, still fond and trne, refused to believe any ill of him, whose honor and" happiness "were all in all to her. : With an inward determina tion to cling to him in his hour of peril, as she he had when his sky had been comparatively bright, she heard the con clusion of the terrible relation. All this might be the invention of hjs enemiesj-r-They might have cpnspired to rnin him. Yet, with the evidence so pap ably against . ... : . ........ . ' ' : .. ' THE WHITE CLOUD, him, she could not but realize the danger of his position-could not hut recognize me potnUUUy of bis guilt. : "Yon see,' Amelia,' continued Colonel Powell, congratulating himself on the apparent fortitude with which his daugh ter had listened, to bis narration "you see that . Robert Dewrie, even ' hile ; he pressed you to ' his heart ja&t night,, was a murderer I that his band was stained with his uncle's blood 1" - ' ,"0, God ! his bloody hand 1" exclaim ed she, as the terriUU incident of the pre vious night, rushed with appalling force to her mind, . conveying the irresistible conclusion that ber heart's idol .was in deed a fiend.,.. .. t . . Her delicate nerves, already strajned to their utmost tension, conld endure no more, and she sunk fainting into the arms of her father. ..;!..'; "V 1 1 CHAPTER VI. THE INTERVIEW. ' , Notwithstanding the political excite ment that pervaded the town, the mnrder of the goldsmith created a great sensa tion. The circumstantial evidence which criminated his nephew was deemed con elusive, even by the young man' most intimate friends. Of his present retire ment, nothing was known,' and his escape and subsequent absence, were regarded as but an admission of guilt. But as noth ing further, waij ascertained in relation to the matter, . ythe , excitement among, the townsmen gradually'' abated,', and finally ccasea altogether. Still there was one heart which yet bled with the wound.it hail caused. Amelia Powell refused to be comforted."' ner' affections' were too deeply lacerated to be easily, or speedily healed. Her father, by all the ingenuity of tenderness, strove to mitigate her sor row ; but in spite of all his exertions, she rapidly decliueil in health ana spirits. Mr. Waldeck was a constant visitor at the.mansion of Colonel Powell. . Ills at tentions to Amelia' were more marked, and more persevering. Her father hail gently intimated his wish that she should accept the hanti of the indefatigable suit or. and the daughter with a desire to plcse him, had tolerated, rather than ac cepted his addresses. To her, the world and life seemed hut a blank ; she had nothing further to live for, but to make those happy around her.- She had re luctantly resigned the hope of ever meet ing Robert again. He had deceived her as to his true character, and her heart was broken, her affections were wrecked. Without any definite purpose of accept ing his hand, Amelia had endeavored to regard without loathing, the man to whom her father wished to unite her. She was still true to the noble, beautiful ideal of troth and goodnfas which she had embod ied in the character of her lover. The vessel was broken, but the ideal still ex isted in her heart. i - " :-.:- i About fonr weeks after the events rela ted in the preceding chapters, Waldeck was seated in the par'or. It was evening, and a flickering light threw its faint rays on the haggard features of the goldsmith. Ho had grown paler and thinner than when we last saw him. lie was uneasy and nervous, as he attempted wtth an un steady hand to turn the leaves of an ac count book. Unable to fix his mind npoo the business which claimed Jiis attention, he rose and paced the room.' But a -vision of horror continually haunted him. At. length, wearied with the torturing presence of bis own thoughts,, he took the candle anil ascended the stairs. - rAs . he turned into his sleeping apartment, a rust ling noise disturbed him..'; : . .. "Who is there ?".xelaitned he, in a sodden and nervous tone. ' But no answer was returned. He search ed the passage way without making any discovery.- - Ascribing it to the disofder- ed state of the nerves, he entered his room and threw himself upon his bed., For an hour. or to ore he tossed -about, . but sleep Came not to him, vhtil, " wearied. beyond the endurance of nature, he snnk into an uneasy slumber Even then, the .terrible vision haunted him.---, With meittetirig toands on hi l'P8' he occasionally started, as from few.' and then groanod deeply, i r 'Tbe oaadle Still burned on 'the table. the sickly flame curling round the long wick, to that the room was, iut ;ditnly lighted. . . -. - -. Noiselessly the door was opened, and a man, closely enveloped in a black cloak. entered the chamber. Cautiously he ad vanced to the bed-side and bent ver the alumbertr.v' - .vv - ' tV'It is true, old roan, my blow was sura," muttered the sleeper in disjointed phrases, and then turning on the bed he groaned heavily.- For a time he lay in silence, as though his dream was ended. The stranger listened awhile, and then snuffed the candle which was flickering as if going out Again he approached the bed-side, : and . again the slnmherer turned into an uneasy posture.' -' . "Away, old man, away I - What if 1 did kill thee !" groaned he. "Off, off, nn- hand me" and Waldeck started, with convulsive energy from the bed, and awoke. - , -. He saw the form of the man, and. it seemed the waking continuation of his dream. :-' ' " 3 -' '"- "Off I off T man," screamed he, spring ing from the bed npon the form before him. - "Waldeck," said the stranger, as he flung his assailant from him "Waldeck, are yon mad ? Rouse yourself." Ah ! said the goldsmith, "itobert. m it possible youTiave dared to come here?" "I Am dared; L, come in the dead watches gf lb nighf for jnsttce for jus CONSTITUTION' AND THE KANSAS ' tice at your hands ; deny me at yonr per il," said Robert Dewrie, for it was he who had thus intruded into the chamber of the other. : r c; -v.., ; . .. . "Why, Robert I do not understand LI?C . : .... IT ... "Understand me, villain-! not a word ot equivocation with me. Answer me this question. i Where is the body of my oncla.f? Miff.-..". : -.i '..."Robert Dewrie, yon are mad; these sad events have taken away your senses. ' "Your sobteifnge shall not avail yon. Here I 'am, bunted down as a murderer, as 'a fiend; stigmatized wherever I go, and compelled, to burrow in the woods, like a wild beast and this for your crime." ' V '"Do yon mean to acenso me of the crime, Robert ?" said Waldeck, with the manner of an injured man. "Wonldyon accuse me ? me when I have done ev erything to shield you from suspicion and you owe me your present safety?' "I. do accuse yon. Why did yon deny our interview on the night of the murder? Yoq are not only an assassin, but a base and dastardly one a double murderer : for yon have accused an innocent man. Where is the body i ' Tell me, ere I strangle yon," and the exasperated young man JBized the goldsmith by the throat, with a fury which threatened, the literal execution of the threat. . "Unhand tne, scoundrel,' r.nhand me," said Waldeck, choking under the pressure of the other's- hand, as he drew from his .pocket a short dagger.- "Unhand me, Robert, or your blood be upon your own head." . , " ' ' A fierce struggle now ensued, in which Robert, kept at bay by the dagger, was forced to relinquish his hold, after having received several slight wounds.- "Now young man, if yon have aught with me, sity it quick, and leave the house, or I will consign yon to the charge of the sentry," said Waldeck, when he had freed himself from the clutch of his desperate opponent. "I came, Mr. Waldeck, for justice, came to appeal to your sense of honor. As I entered this room,. I discovered that your slumbers were uneasy and disturbed 1 listened, and yon confessed in your sleep the murder of your ' partner. My suspicions were confirmed, and I was overwhelmed with indignation at the baseness which could thus fasten the guilt of his own crime npon - another. Mr, Waldeck, you area murderer." 1 "I am ready to answer before a court of justice," replied Waldeck, trembling at the disagreeable intelligence. "But the words of a sleeeper aro not generally esteemed competent testimony. , . ". uetore lleaven l.will prove your crime. ,' . ' "Why not before a more immediate tribunal ?" said Waldeck with a labored sneer. . . . t ' : ; . "It would not avail mo after yon have arranged every circumstance to my dis advantage. I leave you, Mr. Waldeck, in yonr guilt ; hot we shall meet' again as heaven is just, we shall meet -again, where each shall appear as he is 1" said Robert, with an energy and an eloquence which thrilled the blood of his listener, as he turned to depart. ' , "btay, Robert, I have never borne yon any ill-will; I have' done all I could to relieve yon from this Ton! charge. Let tis be friends," addod Waldeck, in a con ciliatory tone. "'; ' "We never can be friends," answered Robert, sternly. ' , "But your patrimony' is in the estate of your uncle; can I not make yon some advances"''- " ' - ' ' - 'No I my patrimony shall be claimed in: due time;" and! Robert Dewrie left the room.

' .' The object of his visit to the house of his late uncle.'.was to obtain, if possible. any cine which might lead to the dicov ery of the murderer. Everybody else had supposed him the assassin, and had taken no pains to look further into the matter. The nnaccountable ' denial of Waldeck in relation to the interview on the night of the murder, had awakened his suspi cions had revealed to him the plan of the murderer. ' Armed with these suspi cions, he had ' entered the. house on the present occasion, to jexplore the premises and have an interview with Waldeck. With the most minute attention he ex amined every part of the cellar. '.He saw the black: ,slains of blood, but nothing else appeared to throw HgU npon the foul transaction. .

Anticipating the crisis and the final purpose of her hus band just previous to the order of the English commander for his guard to come on hoard, the high spirited and proud little wife of the gallant Captain of the Clarendon slipped into the cabin and took from a locket a brace of revol vers, bringing them quietly to her hns band, who placed them about his person convenient for action ', and when the trial order was given, and Captain Bartlett had responded, perceiving that the com mander was a little flustered, on finding himself check-mated in the boarding scene, the lady gently approached him, say ing, '.'Don't be afraid,.

TERMS Calhous's Resolutions. John C Calhoun, an nltra, disunion Pro-Slavery- ite, introduced into the renate oi the United States the following resolution. They were then stigmatized by all Dem ocrats and Whigs of the North and most of the Democrats of the South as fir brand, disunion and sectional resolves, and without coming to a vote they were smothered by the patriots of both parties. Mr. Benton so states in his second volume pf the Thirty Years View, on page 696. ' Our. readers will be struck with the re markable similarity between them and the present Pro-Slavery doctrines of the Pro Slavery Democratic party. But, to the resolutions : Resolved, That the Territories of the United States belong to the several States comprising this Union, and are held by them as their joint and common property. Resolved, That Congress, as the joint agent and representative of the States of i this Union, has no right to make any law, or do any act whatever, that shall direct ly or by its effects, make any discrimina tion between the States of the Union by which any of them shall be deprived of its full and equal right in any lemtory of the United States acquired or to he acquired. Resolved, That the enactment of any law which should directly, or by its 'ef fects, deprive the citizens of any of the States of the Union from emigrating, with their property, into sny of the Territories of- the United States, will make such dis crimination, and would, therefore, be a violation of the Constitution, and the rights of the States from which such cit izens emigrated, and in derogation of that perfect equality which belongs to them as members of this Union, and would tend directly to subvert the Union itself. HersRT Clat os Emancipation. The St. Louis Democrat pnblishes an address by Henry Clay on Slavery extinction ra Kentucky, delivered at Frankfort, in that State, on the 17th of December, '29. After expressing his opinion in favor of the colonization of the blacks, be says : The several States of tho Union were sensible of the responsibility which ac crued to them on the establishment of the independence of the United States, in re gard to the subject of Slavery. And many of them beginning at a period pri or to the termination of the Revolutionary war, by successive and distinct acts of legislation, have effectually provided for the abolition of Slavery within their re spective jurisdictions. More than thirty years ago an attempt was made in this Commonwealth, to adopt a system of gradual .emancipation, similar to that which the iflustrions Franklin had main ly contributed to, introduced in the yer 1779, in the State founded by tho benev olent Pennr And, among thftets of my hft ufiicA I loot back to most aiu faction, is that of havinr co-operated with other zealous and intelligent friends to procure the estaVhtnent of that system xn this estate. Astory alioutthe "Dauphin" Williams appears in the Buffalo Commercial, to the effect that, many years ago, me reverend gentleman applied to an Oneida Sooth saver, to know whether his claims would be acknowlidged, and when. The prophet told him mat the time would come when they woild be admitted, should Williams live loig enorigh. "Yon will live long," said the prophet, "as long as this bouse shall stand ; but that yon will live nntil bp day and the hour shall come, I can- rot say." The teacher glanced at the solid timbers of his house with exultation, asking no longer time for life than should be acceded to the solid walls that encom passed him. It is said that this house was torn down on the day of Williams' death. He had not lived long enough to solve the mystery. Obkw or nrR Scb-Treascrt Scheme. In noticing the death of Wm. F.

The Agriculturist, however, does Sot recommend the above, particularly, not having tried it,' but gives another which he has used for years, and which thou sands, he says, have tried and speak well of. it is as follows : - .: , "To each pound of common hard soap add from one-half to three-narters of an ounce of common borax, with one quart of water. Put the water in any c craven ient vessel upon the store, add the borax, somewhat pulverized, and then pot' ,ia the soap cut np in thin pieces. Keep . them hot but not boiling for two or three honrs, or until the whole is well dissolved, and then set it aside to cool, when a solid mass will be formed. If the vessel is set upon the warm stove at night, the operation will be completed in the morning, though we think it better to stir the mass just before it is cooled. The night before washing, rub the clothes where most soiled, with th soap, and soak in water till morning. This soap, which has been more than doubled in quantity, will go quite as far, balk for bnlk, as the original, thus saving at least one-half. The boiling and washing are to be performed in the usual manner ; bnt it will be found that the labor of nibbing" is diminished three-fourths, while the nsual caustic or eating effect of the soap, is greatly lessened ; and the hands will retain a peculiarly soft and silky feeling, even after a large washing. The prepa ration is adapted to all kinds of fabrics, colored or nncolored, inolodmg Sanoefs, and is thought to increase- their white ness." A Scrk Ccre. A correspondent at lit.
