BURTON. f Continued. - . . CHAPTEK THE FOURTH. With one heel nallod In hell, Though he ptreteh bis fingers to touch tho heavens. LlLl.T. Tlie balloon, relieved of Lo lloux's weisrlit. ascended with the most alaiminir rapidity, assuming a zig-zag or snake-like motion that imparted to the car a pendu Iouh action of a fearful and bewildering nature. Each vibration raised me to a side level with the body of the machine, and threw me with an irresistible jerk against the frail net work, where I was unable to secure a firm position ere. the force of the return motion cast me to the other sine. The violence of each fall burst several of the thin strands of cordage from their fas tenings to the light edging of the wicker car. I felt certain that my fate was sealed that the murder of my friend would in stantly be avenged. The inflammable air contained in the balloon was pressed down ward by Lite resistance of the atmosphere to the extreme rapidity of ascent, and es caped profusely from the lower valve or neck of the balloon, which hung over the car. This vent had been loft unclosed, 9 a means of passage for the lines of the up per valve the ascending nature ot the gas prevented any likelihood of danger. But now, the mephitic vapor exuded in such quantities a3 to enect my powers ot res piration. I became delirious; my head spun round; my bodily functions were suspended, ana l tell, uoubiea up ana senseless, into the bottom of the car. If the trreat escape of gas, and consequent loss of ascending power, had not caused a suspension of the vibratory motion, I must have tallen through the gaping ap ertures in the rope work which surrounded me. In this wretched state I laid for several hours, hovering, in more ways than one, between life and death. When returning consciousness attended me, I was acutely sensible of the most intense cold ; my .otlif were froaon into cakes of ice. mv hair was matted by the frost, and huge icicles hung from every point within xny reach. I had ev'dently passed through a stratum of cloud impregnated with rain, and the excessive cold of the upper re gions of the air had congealed the moist ure winch 1 had absorbed. 1 must have gained an awful bight, for the rarefaction of the atmosphere scarcely allowed me to respire, lhe balloon seemed hxed im movably; and black, pitch-black darkness encompassed me. Hour after hour passed, and 1 was una ble to discover that the balloon made the slicrhtcst motion in progression, or sunk or rose one single foot Horror began to exercise a powerful influence over ray strained faculties; my senses quailed be neath the dreadful misery of my situation. I fancied that tho vengeance of the Al mighty had doomed mo to expiate my crime in the very place of its commission; that I wag sentenced, by his eternal hat, to endless suspension in the region of space, beyond the influence of nature and its laws. My cramped and frozen body, scarcely animated by a difficult respiration, lay motionless in tho ftoncavity at the bot tom of the car. Hopeless, nerveless, spiritless I gave myself up to despair. A dull and yellow tint pervaded the into wreaths of whitish hues nnd varied shapes, flew over nnd about mo with ec centric violence, although I was unable to Dcrceive the presence of a breath ol wind. Presently, its particles wero disseminated in a heavy hower ot snow; mo conguiueu flakes fell henvily upon me, and, in a few minutes, I was thickly covered, and folta degree of warmth diffuse itself over mj benumbed limbs, that wero now defended from the freezing air. . While the lands beuenlh me wero scorching under the sol stitial heat, I was enduring the rigors of nr. Arctic winter. - . i . ',. y , The 'Miow-stoi m - tvnklmied to-thc its flaky deposits, and I was sensible, from .; .. .1. t...n v-.i the action ot me air, mat inn imuun imu commenced a descending motion, affected, doubtless, by the weight of tho snow which adhered to the top nnd sides of the balloon, and nearly covered my wretched body in tho car. Almost frantic with joy, I rose from my crouching position, and shook the moisture from my limbs. With usurer razo. I buntr over tho side of tho oar. anxious to caich the first uUmpse of the beloved earth. Oh, tho tediousness of that descent! for hours, many, many hours, L seemed to glide downward, but saw noth ing of the green and smiling land beneath. I 6unkatlast beyond tho influence of the frost wind, and the heat of the sun began to melt the snow upon tho balloon. Wish ing to rid myself of the droppings which r. . i r .1 . lell upon nie irom uus net. o. uecoiniiusi tion, 1 shook the cordage of tho balloon with some violence, and displaced the chiefesl portion of the load. 1 also scooped out the snow irom ine interior ot - . . t i: 1 the car. In a lew minutes, i mscovcreu tlfat the earthward tendency of the balloon was at an end. The removal of the great weight of snow, and tho action of the heat of the 6un upon the gait, had increased the buoyancy of the terostat, anu alter a sngni pause,' 1 became aware that I was again subjected to an ascending power. Again, tho painful impression of despair spread its influence over my mind. I coiled myself up in my old place at the bottom of the car, nnd submitted to the destiny 1 was unable to control. Hunger, with its painful gnawings, and thirst, with its burning dryness, were added to my sufferings. The enormitj of mv guilt pressed heavily upon my soul, and I vainly strove, with elosed eyes, to shut the fright ful image from my mind. Wearied nature at last gave way, and sleep fell upon my eyes. But the dreamy nu-oiiv of that sleep was more fearfully in- Letise than the wakintr consideration of my crime. Methought, that as I wassailing alon" in the calm quiet of the limitless sky, Le lloux, with a violent jerk, caught suddenlv hold of the outside riin of the car, with bloody hands, and raised his maimed and mashed Istce among the inter-1 stioes of the cordage, and, with horrible distinctness, asked me for bis wife. Turn which way I would, it was impossible to shut out this fearful image, (sometimes, with outstretched hand, he appeared to clutch at me, as if he wished lo pull me from my seat. Then, suddenly quitting his hold, I watched him through the crev ices of the wicker work at the bottom of the car fall, fall, fall, till 1 heard his body strike the earth, nnd felt his death shriek cutting through my heart. Once again, I dreamed that the wayward airs of heaven had blown me back to the city of Lyons that, in fact, the balloon hovered ovor it, within ahunJred yards of the housetops. I thought that again I saw the myriads of inhabitants rush forth from all the many streets and by-ways of tho populous city and Us crowded subuibs that they hailed me, not with the glad pecan of triumph and shout of delight, bt with an un earthly yell of hatred and revenge that seemed to slay my very soul. I turned from the 6ight in horror and dismay; Ma ria's pale and anxious face lightened up the dark expanse she asked me for her husband. Her crying children demanded their father. I turned from the unanswer able supplicants, and again encountered the distorted lineaments of Le Roux. Affair, tho sun went down. ""Another night, a night of torture, transcending all the fancied punishments of hell, passed slowly off. The variable currents of the upper air had driven my flying prison west ward, southward, eastward, bat carried mo not within sight of the much-desired earth. During the passage of the moon less night, various of tho slight cords which connected the car with the network of the balloon, from the continued strain and exposure to the action of the atmos pherical changes, parted strands, and in creased the former vacancy to such an ex tent that oue side of the car hung down from want of connexion, and threatened ine with the fate which I had forced upon LeRoux. In this state, I did not dare to close my eyes; with one arm twined about tho yielding cordage, and grasping with the other tho side of the car, 1 watched the coming of the dawn A faint streak of light illuminated the cast. I watched its increasing strength, and when a gush of radiance announced the rising of tho sun, I cast my eyes be low, hoping to behold the smiling earth. A dull dark mantle appeared spread over tho underneath world. The motion of the balloon was rapid; I drew forth my hand kerchief and gave it to the breeze. It flew upward, and I felt satisfied beyond a doubt that 1 was again approaching the world of man. A loud report from be low shook the air,-and agitated the gas in the balloon. I gazed downward with a scrutinizing look.-' The broad unbounded ocean was beneath me, and tho morning gun had just been Bred from a British vessel of war. The freshness of the western breeze car riird mc far beyond the chance of aid from ! the English sloop, and I began to fear that to a water v crave. J he globe's attraction. I looked anxiously around, but snw not a chance of succor, i The ripple of tho waves sounded omin ously near the sides of. tho balloon flapped in tho sea nir. nnd fifter hoveling for a moment 'over tho strange element, dropped gracefully into the" pcean'a swell.

I found myself suddenly immersed orer head and ears, and incapable, for scThie moments, of extricating myself from tho string work which surrounded the car. I fought valiantly for my life, and suc ceeded in raising myself to the surface Hut the verv circumstance which threat ened me with death, proved tho positive e .: P1. :.,it....l means oi my piesui viiuuu. mo imiuiku part of the balloon remained upon the level of the ocean; the wind hollowed it into a bellying sail, which, steadied by the lines connected with the car, retained its up right and sail-like position. In a few min utes after my immersion, 1 was being towed a'onir at a rapid rate, ami, if I had not been entangled in the cordage, must have been left to sink in tho depths of the solitary sea. . I knew not where my rate nau tnrown me, whether I had been blown westward across the uironue, into mo -ruinuuv ocean, nnd was then braving the dangers of the Biscay. buy; or whether 1 had eventually turned into the same direction in which the balloon commenced, and fol lowing the course of tho Rhone., had gained the blue watets of the Mediterra nean sea. 1 began to feel unabfo to hold on to the tULMiiisr ropes much longer, when a latteen-riggod craft flew rapidly past be fore tho wind, and rounding to, came alongside of the floatiii! balloon.

Having given you the views of him who was "first in war, first in peace, nnd first in tho hearts of his countrymen," we bring before you Thomas Jeflerson, the author of the celebrated Declaration of American Independence, the founder of the old Republican, State Rights or Demo cratic party, and third President of the Uuited States. Probably of the btates meu of the Revolution, no one has ever exerted a greater influence in moulding public sentiment than Mr. Jefferson ; and yet, at the present time, his principles in regard to slavery are more carefully abne gated than those of the Tories who op posed him ; that is, by the party which is now dominant iu our nation. But to tho "law and the testimony." The first general Congress of the Colo nies met at Philadelphia, in September, 1774. An "Exposition of the Rights of British America," was laid before it, from the pen of Thomas Jefferson, of which the following is an extract : "The aboli tion of domestic slavery is the greatest object of desire in these colonies, where ..... . it was unhappily introduced in their iniani state. But previous to tho enfranchise ment of the slaves, it is necessary to ex For the Meigs County Telegraph. tho most Inislcrous 2'assions the most unremitting despotism on tho one part, and deoradino submission on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it ; for man is an imitative animal. "The parent storms, the child looks on, catches the lineaments of wrath, puts on the same airs in the circle of smaller slaves, gives a loose roin to the worst of passions, and, thus nursed, educated, and daily ex ercised in tyranny, cannot bat be stamped with its odious peculiarities . Ho must be a Drodiirv who can retain his manners and uuual.i undipravcdhy such circumstances. And wiih what kxecuation should the statesman be loaded, w ho, permitting one half the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other, transforms those into despots and these into eneini.s, destroys the morals of the one part, and the amor patrice (love of country) of the other, for if a slave can have it country in this world, it must be any other in preference to that in which he is born to live and labor for another; in which he must lock up the faculties of his nature, contribute, as far as depends on his individual endeavors, to the evniiishment of tho human race, or entail his own miserable comlition on the endless generations proceeding from him.

'f "" i"'ul" spinlual When Shakspeare said, "We are such stuff as dreams are made of," he uttered a truth deeper than is generally recognized, or than he himself probably felt. Dreams, we know, are mainly the pioductionsof the mind during the dormant state of the body, and from those, common and fantastic as they are, much may be learned of that fu ture life, of which so little is known and so much is vrondered. It is believed throughout the world that when man's body dies, his poul enters another state of existence, called the spir- iiual world, nnd there lives separate from the body. Vague and undefined ae this belief maybe, all will admit it in some form. And we all know this, at least, that death consists in the separation of the soul and the body that the soul lives after the body dies and therefore that anything which would show us the state of the soul or mind, when separated to any extent from the body, would enable us to judge somewhat of the future, or solely spiritual, state of existence. We all had dreams last night. When all around was quiet nnd at rest when outward objects were shut out from our sight, and the ceaseless operations of the body were partially chocked when only the mind Mas actvie, and even it was in fluenced and disturbed by its partial con nection with the dormant body figures, natural as life, delightful to behold or fri'ditful in their hideousneas, the familiar faces of distant and long absent friends, the thronged streets with their unchang ing appearance and monotonous din, the quiet and ever-varying scenery of tho country, all passed before us. We heard the voices of those we met, we walked with them, read, sung or played with them, as we have done with those wo have met to-day. W hence were these scenes, so real and life-like for the time so unreal and fantastic now? They proceeded solely from the mind, and may teach us much if -we will exam ine tkeir nature, of that world which is the residence of the mind alone. For if the mind forms to itself such real nnd beau tiful scenes and incidents when partially separated from the bod', may we not sup pose that it will possess the 6ame power. when perfectly free, only in greater bar mony and order? Iu dreams, the scenes are always in ac cordance with our thoughts and feelings and change with them. Will it not be so in tho future world? In dreams, space and time vanish, and we pass through scenes in a moment which apparently oc cupT hours. Will it not beso in the fu ture world? In dreams all the surround ing objects are the creations of the mind of the dreamer. Will we not similarly create our surrotindinirs in the future world? And may we not see eomethin 1 i . 1 1 4 a.-t-.9 4 ItOVt A fl'li-tn ctiuio lurt.ier .n.pu. ... h a,3o (,,st.oyeJ( for il( n warnl dimatc.

American Archie ves, 4th series, vol. 1, pp. 69G. Goodell's Slavery and Anti Slavery, pp. 71-2. Again, in the original draft of the Dec laration of Independence, as it came from the pen of Jefferson, wc find the following: "He," (tho British King) "has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights, of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captiva-lin-rand carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable j death in their transportation thither. This I piratical warfare the approbium of infi-lel p0Wers is the warfare of the Christian Kino- of Great Britian, determined to keep open a market where men should be bought and sold. Ho has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable com merce, and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished dye. he is now exciting the very people to rise in arms against us, and to purshase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the peope on whom he has obtruded them ; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of our people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives oi an- other." Benton's Thirty lears in ine u. S. Senate, vol. 2. pp. 450-1 o:o. The reason for striking out tho above clause, is thus given by Mr. Jetlcrson, himself: "The clause, too, reprobating the enslaving the inhabitants of Africa. was struck out in complaisance to South Cnrolina and Georgia, who had never at tempted to restrain the importation of slaves, and who, on ine contrary, sun wished to continue it. Our Northern brethren also, I believe, felt a little tender under those censures ; for although their people had very few slaves themselves, yet they had been pretty considerable carriers of them toothers."

It was thought better that this should be kept back, and attemp'ed only by way of amend ment, whenever tho bill should be brought on. Tho principles of the amendment, however, were agreed on ; that is to say, the freedom of all born after a certain day, and deportation at a proper ago. But it wns found that the public mind would not yet bear the pioposition, nor will it bear it even nt this day ; yet the day is not far distant ivheit it must bear and adopt it, or worse w'dl follow. Xothing is more cer tainly written in the look of fate, than that these people are to be free ; nor is it lees certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same Government ture, habit, opinion, have diawn indellible lines of distinction between them. It w still in our power to direct the process of emancipation and deportation peaceably, and in such slow degrees ns that the evil will wear off insensibly, and their place be pari passu filled up by free white la- take from other i Iwrcrs. it. on the contrary, it is ku ro t!lnl.

He came u her dwelling decked iu all his finery - scar let flannel, rings, feathers, newly scoured brass ornaments and boars claws and through an interpreter announced to her that she must be his wife. It was urged that ho had one wife. He replied, "All the band have as many as they can keep, and I have but one." Asan extra induce ment he promised that she could have ti e best corner of his lodge, hunt by his side, and eat with him, while the dark squaw was to hush the papoose, cook the food, carry the game, plant and hoe the corn, and provide wood and water. Miss Bish op, a little in fcarof the "green-eyed mon ster," even if the other claimant did hold an inferior position, declined the distinct ion. The Indian then bogged s dollar to buy a shirt, and left with a haughty air. Next day he was drunk. But Miss Bishop's associate faied worse; 6he had been only a few weeks in the country, and was ig norant of Indian customs; a young war rior, smitten with her, called often; hoping to be rid of him she cave him a ring; ho interpreted it as a token of partiality, and returned to take her to his lodge; the next day he again returned with 6ix young braves to compel her to go with him.

' The perfume of this flower," said she, "gives me the vertigo." The conversa tion was interrupted by the visit of a fair friend who was going to a ball, and wore a rose-bud in her head-dress. Our fair heroine turned pale directly, tossed her arms, and fell gracefully into a 6yncope upon theottomait. "What a strange nerv ous susceptibility!
