Jane 8, 1834 Alexander Hamilton on the Powers or the Government! It has often boon in timated by politicians not familial with the early history of the country,- that Gen. Alexander Hamilton was an advocate of a strong Government, and favored the idea of a President for life. This imputation is occasionally repaa'.ed with an air of confi donco which gives it credence- with the multitude. But the chargo was controvert ed in a positive manner mora than fifty years ago by the distinguished Salesman himself. A letter to Timothy Pickering, first published in 1812, is of sufficient in- tercst to be reproduced at this time: New York, Sept. 16, 1803. Mr Dear Sir: I will make no apology for my delay in answering your inquiry some time since made, because I could offer none which would satisfy myself. I pray you only to believe that it proceeded from anything rather than from want of re ppect or regard. I shall now comply with your request. The highest-toned propositions which 1 made in the Convention were for a Presi dent, Senate, and Judges during good be havior House of Represents. ives tor throe years. Though I would have enlarged the legislative power of tho Ganoral Govern ment, yet I never contemplated the abo lition of the State Governments; but, on , the contrary, thoy were in some particulars, constituent parts of my plan. r This plan was, in my conception con formable with the strict theory of a Gov ernment parery republican; the essential critciia of which are, that the principal or . puns of the citecative and legislative depart ments be elected by the people, and hold ttlie pfficos ky a responsible and temporary or defcisible nature. A vote was taken on tlie proposition re specting the exocutlve. Five States were in favor of it among these Virginia; and though, from the manner of voting by del egations, Individuals were not distinguish ed, it was morally certain from tho known situation of tho Virginia members (six in mumber, two ofihcm, Mason and Randolph, professing popular doctrines) that Madison must have concurred in the vote of Virgin ia. Thus, if I sinned against republican ism, Mr. Madison is not less guilty. I may truly, then, say that I never pro posed either a President or Sonata for life; and that' I neither recommended nor mc li- tated the annihilation of the Slate Govern ments. And I may add that, in a courso of the discussions in the Convention, neither the propositions thrown out for debate, nor even those who voted in tho earlier stages of deliberation, were considered as eviden ces of a definitive opinion in trio proposer or voter. It appeared to bo in somo sort understood that, with a view to free hives tigation; experimental propositions might bo made, which were to bo received mere- ly as suggestions for consideration. Ac cordingly, it is is a fact that my final opin ion was against an Executive during good behavior, on account of tho increased dan cer to the public tranquility incident to tho election of a magistrate of his degree of -r , 1 f rm ,t, i' pcrmanoncy. tin the plan oi a onsuiunon which I drew up while tho Convention was sitting, and which I communicated to Mr. Madison about tho close of it, perhaps a day or two after, tho office of President has no longer duration than for thrco years. This plan was predicated upon those ibases: 1 . That the political principles of the - rwople of this country would endure noth ing but a Republican Government. 2 That in tho ac.tual situation of the country it was itself right and .proper the republican theory should have a full and fair trial. 3. , That to such, a trial it was essential that tho Government should be so constructed as to give it all the energy and the stability re ooncileable with the principles ef that theo ry. Theso were the genuine sentiments of my heart, and upon them I then acted. I sincerely hope that it may not here after be discovered that, through. ..want of -sufficient attention to the last idea, tho ex perimont of Republican Government, even j . i A, i. in mis country, nas not, ueen so complete, as satisfactory and a decisive as could be Wished.

The curtain drew op and a midst a burst of applause the hero of the pieco made his appearance. Ho had hard ly uttered twenty words when it struck me that something strange was the matter with him. Tho play was a boisterous comedy of tho old school, and required considerable spirit and vivacity in the actors to sustain it properly; but in this man there was none; he walked and talked like a person in a dream; his best points lie passed over with out appearing to perceive them; and alto gether he appeared quite unfitted for the part. His smile was ghastly, his laugh hollow and unnatural; and frequently he would stop suddenly in his speech and let his eye wander vacantly over the audi ence. Even when, in his character of a silly husband, he had to suDer" -himself to be kicked about tho stage by the young rake of tho comedy, and afterwards to behold that careloss individual making love to Ins wife, and eating his supper while ho was shut up in a closet from whence he could not emerge, his contortions ot ludicrous wrath, which had never before failed to call down plenty of applause, were now such dismal attempts to portray the passion that hisses wero audiblo in various parts of tho theatre. Tho audience were fairly out of temper; and several inquisitive individ uals were particular in their inquires as to the extent of tho of potations he had in dulged in that evening. A storm of sivil- ation and abuse now fell round tho ears of the devoted actor; and not content with verbal insult, orange-peel and apples flew upon the stage. Ho stopped and turned to tho shouting crowd. I never saw suchmisery inhuman countenance. His face was worn and hag gard, and large tears rolled down over his painted cheeks, i saw his Hps quivering with inward agony 1 saw Ins boson heave with convulsions of suppressed emotion, and his whole mien betokened such depth of anguish and distress, that the most ruth less heart must have . throbbed with pity. Tho audience was moved, and by degrees tho clamor of invective subsided into a sol emn silence, while ho stood near the foot- ights, a picture of dejection. When all was calm, he spoke, and in a voico brokon with sobs that seemed to rend his bosom, proceeded to offer his explanation. "Ladic3 and gentlemen," said he, 'though in my acting to-night I am con scious of meriting your displeasurc.in one thing you do mo. wrong. I am not intoxi cated. Emotion alone, and that of the most painful kind, has caused me to fulfil my allotted part so badly my wife died but a few short hours ago,' and I left her side to fulfil my unavoidable engagement here. If I have not pleased you, 1 implore of you to forgive mo. I loved hor, grieve tor hor, and if misery and anguish can ex cuse a fault, I boar my apology here." Ho placed his hand npon his heart, and stoppod. and a burst of tears rolieved his momentary paroxysm of grief. The audience was thoroughly attccted, and an honest burst of sympathy made tho walls tremble. Women wept . loudly, and strong men silently; and during the re mainder of tho evening his performance was scarcely audible, thro tho storm ot ap plause by which the crowd sought to soothe the poDr fellow's wounded feelings. There w.n something very melancholy in the thou 'lit of that wretched man's coming from the bed of death to doa gay attiro and utter studied witticisms for tho amusement of a crowd, not one of whom dreamed of t.lm nnrrnisli flint lnv fostering under the painted cheek and stage smile. And in the groat theatre of life, how many are there around us like that poor actor, smiling gaily at the multitude, while at homo lies sorrow, whose shadow is ever present with them in busy places.

LANCASTER, OHIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1854 From tha Cincinnati Commercial. Railroad Excuriion to Lancaster. The pleasautest excursion of the seasop was made by a party of thirty of our prom inent business men and bv the officers of the Company, over tho Cincinnati, Wil mington and anesvilie Kailroad. I be particulars of the grand opening festival at Lancaster in the spring wero given in the Daily Commercial of the following morn ing; that was a splendid affair, but the cit izens of Lancaster and gentlemen connect ed with the road, desired an opportunity of forming a more intimate acquaintance with the business men at this terminus ot the road, and also desired more time to ex hibit the marvellously beautiful suburbs of their thriving town. On Tuesday morning a party of gentle men, among whom we recollect the follow- ng names, left in the 6 o clock tram for Lancaster, in accordance with invitations sent through Superintendent ', Woodward and others: Jacob Strader, Jno. P. Tweed, Jno. W. Ellis, Jno. H. Groesbeck, Jacob Traher, W. E. Ogborn, J. L. Franklin, J. M. Brown, M. F. Thompson, H. Emerson, E. Laralde, Cupt. P. Rogers, D. J. Pearce, H. K. Lawrence, James Hall. Wm. Hooper, Jno. Geddes, A. D. Bullock, D. Colby, W. Brown Butler Ebenezcr Nye, George C. Hill, John Drake, J. Miller, Joseph lleakirt, Judge At Morrow the party afterwards join ed by tho officers of tho road and citizens living along the line found a special en- trine and train in waiting. This munificent act of the Cincinnati, Wilmington and Zanesville Company is in keeping with its whole bearing toward Uincinnau, ot whom it has never asked a dollar; the compliment was duly appreciated. On the train were President J? rank Uorwin, buperinienueni E. W Woodwakd, Principal Assistant Mr. Stoughton, Engineer, and others. And of the expected features of the oc- r i w n 1 casion. wm. li. vjlement, was unavoid ably absent. The line of the C. W. & . road from Morrow, point of junction with the Little Miami to Lancaster, a distance of ninety miles, has already been partially desoribcd. Its prominent characteristics are light grades, a remarkably straight line, a coun try fertile and rich, almost Doyona calcula tion, and, on the Eeastorn section, mineral resourees immediately upon the line, that may yet entitle it to the appellation of the "col road," though but little has been published on tho subject. Superior ma chinery and croneral eauipment with Bal- timoro and Cincinnati connections, that will make it a ereat "through line," should j o t a , also be mentioned a3 noticeable features of the C. W. Jc Z. R. R. Its entire length from Morrow to ZancsVillo is 113J miles;to tho city. 167 miles. There are nut tour curves wun a less ra " w . - .i i dius than 19 10 feet eighty-eight percent, of tho road is straight, and seventy-seven per cent, of the grades are less than thirty feet to the mile. Eastward from Wilming ton tho line is adirect tangent for twenty -one miles. Tho section between Lancaster and Zanesvillo is now in course of construction, work having been done thereon to the a mountof 8430,000, and will be completed to the west bank of tho Muskingum at Zanesvillo in December of this year. The largest pieces of masonry, and tho tunnel, are already completed. I ne receipts oi me . . . . . .... Uomnpnvto May 1st. wore ss'ajjo.oi. Expenditures S2.326.460. So much for some of the lcadiug statistics of this great undertaking. The excursion train, which was under nhiirn-n of Mr. James Stocouton, Civil Engineer, reached Lancasierat 12 o'clock; tho delegation was met at the depot by Gov. Medill. Darius Tallmadge, Hon J. G. Breslin and others, who conducted the party to the Tallmadgo House, where a dinner had been provided, a woru a bout that dinner. We have sat down to sumptuous meals, to fete dinners, great banquets, etc.. but the dinner set out by Mr. Perrt and his associate Geo. Mu mauoii. of the Tallmadge House, will have an individual memory of its own, like the last feast of Apicius. At the dinner tablo very short speeche were made by Gov. Medill, Judge Hall and Mr. Van Trump, Mr. Tweed s do mand for more eloquence from tho eloquon men present being answered by me an nonncemcnt that carriages were waiting to convev the entire nartv to Mount Pleas J A . ant. Mount Pleasant or-Standing Stone as it was more properly named by the Wyan- dots, is a point in American scenery that will attract more and more attention as the facilities for reaching it are multiplied and the pen of the tourist or the pencil ot the artist bears its fame abroad. As the Duke of Saxe Weimar remarked while -standing on the curious tumult that crowns its sum mit. "There is nothing more beautiful there can be nothing more beautiful." So will all exclaim. From tho beautiful Hock- inn- valley this -remarkable rock rises some two hundred foot, presenting en tho Lan , caster side a sheer precipice. Tho descent 1 fMYi 41, a Athav uirio ismnm nrrolunl I h town lies in a grand ampitheatre of lofiy hills that rises as if reluctant to leave so sweet a valley so gradually from the plain that a thousand desirable sites for country . seats are anordea at every point in tho grand circle, from the midst of the val ley thus surrounded rises the isolated peak of Mount Pleasant, like the throne-founda- tion of 8-Manitou who would look upon the loveliest panorama in all the hunting grounds of his children. On the Mount, Governor Medill intro duced the party to Gen. Sanderson, who stood admiringly on the same spot fifty five years ago. General Sanderson is a character. Entitled to the honors of an Octogenarian, he claims no exemptions for age, but with a glittering eye naively boast ed, as he reached the summit in advance of the Vanguard, "I beat the Governor (Me dill) up five minutes!" The Generil tn tertained the Excursionists with a pithy outline of the pioneer history of Lancaster, the character of the Indian tribes living there in 1799, incidents of the war of 1812, etc., eto. The depot grounds of the 0." W. ii Z. railroad are on. the site of the Wyandott village. Very much gratified with the visit, the Cincinnati delegates left at 6 P. M., in a special train furnished for that purpose by Mr. Woodward, and arr)vd in Cincinnati at 12 o'clock at night. The names of parties to whom we were indebted for the entertainment at Lancas ter, were withheld; butafu-r tho officers of the company, we suppose that the mercan tile Una of iikbeh k a-UTz, Mr. Iall madge, and others, , enjoy the quiet sati-sfac- wdeda good deal of en - tion of having crowde joy mcnt into a brief space f time.

We heard yesterday of a singular case, which, unless it is am- iacably adjusted, will come bofore one of our Courts in a few days. I he circumstan ces, as related to us, are as follows: About six years ago, a gentleman from this city loft for California Juaving behind hima wife, and a lot in the western part of this city, worth 8800. In two years afterwards, the wife re ceived the intelligence of the death of her husband. Within eighteen months, she married the second time, and afterwards disposed of tho ptopcrty lot, in order to set her husband up in 'retail business, and thus far they have lived happily together, and succeeded in making money off the lot. But to the astonishment of all, the first husband returned homo within the last two weeks, alivo and hearty as over, but poorer in worldly stores than when he left lor theau rifreous regions. ' It appears that there port of his decease was occasioned by the dealh of a person of the same name, which eport' reached thdwifo through the news papers. The nrst husband had remained only a year or two 'in California, and mi grated to the Sandwich Islands, where ill luck befel him, and in consequence there of, ho neglected writing to his better half. Finding how affairs are now.the first hus band seems desirous of regaining his prop erty. Thus tho matter now stands, and unless a compromise is offected between the paatics, the law will have to test the merits of it. UtnetnnaU Commercial. The Way it is to be Done! A vounor man formerly in our employ, in whose vc racity wo have all confidence, informs us that while at St. Louis a few days since, he saw a number of gangs of slaves en route for Nebraska, under charge of their own ers. This is the way in which Nebraska and Knsas are to be made slave territories. Their contiguity to the 6lave states of Mis souri and Arkansas makes it a very easy matter for slaveholders to go with their slaves, while their remoteness from the principal points of emigration in the north offers obstacles to their speedy settlement by northern freemen, a. he appointment o slaveholding otneers lor tne territories will ,then th0 60iemnbeat of the muffled drum be immediately followed by the election of! as iftilc(iead Were nigh, and then stream - a slaveholding council, in each, and slavery will be established and regulated by terri torial law. "Squatter sovereignty" is so fully defined and recognized that the laws of the territories cannot bo submitted to Congress for revision, and as the last act in the Nebraska tragedy, slavery is establish ed in Nebraska and Kaiisas territories be yond the hope of eradication. Washtenaw Whig. California Wheat Crop. It is appre hended in California that the wheat crop of tho State this year, will be too large for the mills to be able to grind it all. Breadstuff's, the papers say, will henceforward be cheap, and the money now sent to Chili a the east to buy flour will be retained in the country; thus, while the price of provisions will be low, money will be plentiful. They fur ther say that flour will coon be exported from California.

It is supposed that Dane, finding himself hard pursued by pursuers, endeavored in this muniier to chide discovery and that afraid, after all, that discovery wu certain, attempted to shorten his miserable ence, by adding suicide to murder. Leaves and bushes had been accumulat ed in heaps at the spot where he was fuund. It is probable that the party in pursuit would have passed by the murdeicr and his hid ing place, but for the fact of his boots pro truding from the rubbish. As soon as the murderer was drawn out from his lair, he was conveyed to a wagon near by, and distance oif. driven off to a barn, a short Two physicians Drs. Lord and Tucker were in attendance, and here made an examination of Dane's wounds. It was found that the apple of his throat was badly cut, while Iwo deep incisions had been made on his windpipe.

The cousin Lu.-y introluceJ to our read ers was a country girl who had been brought to the city a few wjtks before, by her relatives, to bs pjliihed up and fit ted to enter society. Though rustic sim plicity itself, IciiJe her queenly cousins, there was a certain freshness, a beauty a bout her, tha. ailed as a powerful charm. She had, that morning received her first bouquet from a nameless firiend, and, after it had been duly admired, and pronounced 1 bv her cousins 'the most perfect one of the season,' it w.u placed in water, and the trio ' satdown to read. Lucy was soon called .out to -irispesf ii "pay fjr "som"eorrie one bundled aud one ariicles of sewing that a young lady lequircs when preparing to go into iojiety, especially if she is just from the country. While doing this she learned, through theinquiiies made by her aunt, that the sewing girl had a t-kk grand-mother at home. And, as she longed to do some thing for the invalid, her fingers were in stinctively placed upon the clapofher 1 portemotinoie, but something in the young I woman's face and manner made her fear ; that she would only wound her bv offering her money. Then she recollected her J flowers, and feeling, with her country ! tastes, that they would d much towards cheering a sick room, she bought them out and requested her to carry them to her grandmother. 'Oh, thank you, Miss,' was her reply; 'they are too beautiful fr us, but grand mother was wishing for flowers only yes terday, and 1 thought after 1 received my pay I would stop in the market and get her j a few; but I never expected to be able to : carry home any thin,' like this!' lhat evening Mr. I parlors were brilliantly lighted, and the two young ladies in most becoming dresses were doing thiirbasttoentertain some gentlemen, ' while Lucy sat wondering how they could . find so much to talk about, with persons who were almost strangers, anaieenng ner- 1 self cast quite into tho shade by their bnl- undoubtedly.

'Well, if she will tell what she did with Tier pretty Dowers, we woa t tease ter any mure. j ij.ier flowers?

'Well, Miss Lucy Blair, raid her eldest I ... - , . . cousin, 'I have always lo.ikea upon you as , a sort of perfect being; yet, sinner as I am, come to the 'contessionar at once, as you hope for absolution.' 'As you seem so well aware of my sins already, yon need no confession from me WHOLE NO 1499 q' enlighten you." V "I accuse, you, then, you, Lucy Elaia in presence of the comrmny here assembled of two gross sins! I irat, of an attempt to ruin all the poor people of the city, by gi ing tlM-in a taste for expensive luxuries,, beyond the reach of any but the wealthy I Do you plead guilty,' or not guilty' to this grave accusation?' - . 'Not guilty,' said Lucy 'of any intention to injure the poor of your city, in whose welfare you aeem' to take so deep an inter est. And as to giving them a taste for Cowers, a wiser one than I has implanted that in the very humblest of his own chil dren; else why do we always see a few roses or morning glories shading the win dows of the veriest hovels in the country. ana a pine spot-on ioe ruaest garden re deemed from cabbage and onions, for pink or peonies?

'A ny)t able defence! iot guilty!' said the genifcnon. 'But the second charge' continued her coudn, 'i.i a still more serious one. I have to accuse you of the base act of giving a waya present!' 'I did not think of tbA' said Lucy, with heightened color, 'I suppse it was dis honorable; but T forgot they t,een a present! 'I wondor if it was so very mean in mo to giveaway myflowerb?' thought Lvy, as she laid her innocent head upon the pil low that night. Could she have followed her bouquet to the place of its destination, and seen the sunshine it brought in that humble- abode, she would have dismissed her anxieties. Whea the aged grandmoth er first saw the bouquet, she streched forth her withered hands to take it, with an exclamation of joy; but as soon as she saw how rare a one it was, she ahook her head saying 'Ah, Susan, you mu3thave spent all your earnings for this! You should not It was selii'ih in at to wish for flowers, but old people are apt to be selfish; if we were only in the country again, we could have flower3 without feeling the cos of them.' 'We need not feel thU, grandmother, for it was a present to you from the young la dy who is staying at Mr. F 'e. ' 'How very kind of her! Tell her I will breathe a prayer for her over each bud and flower of her swet present;' and the old wman turned her bouquet round and round admiring the colors and seeming refreshed and cheered by their odor. She declared that they made her feel twenty years younger, wid that shej could almost fancy herself back again in the lit tle white cottage, standing in the midst of a flower-garden which she "had taken so much .pleasure in cultivating. 'There were no such rose within twenty miles of ui, she said ; and then she went in to a full description of each variety; what difficulty she had in obtaining it; how anx iously she bad watched it, lest u should not grow; and how proud she felt when all her neighbors stopped to admire the first roses it bore! MeanwViIe, Susan diligently, plied her needle, while a greatful feeling stole over her, that the usual petulance of ageand sick ness had been so pleasantly dispelled. The next morning, as Mr. T. was pass ing along the street, his old friend Dr. M. greeted him with, Where have you been hiding yourself, young man? I have been wishing to meet you for the last two weeks. Come with me, sad let us have a little chat if you are not engaged.' 'Entirely at your service, and most hap py to have met you.' 'By the way,' said the Doctor, 'I have a patient living in that alley a poor old wo man I look in upon occasionally. Will vou step there with we? It will not detain us a- bove ten minutes. Mr. T. willingly assented, and they en tered a neat room. On a little table cover ed with a white cloth, stood an elegant buo quel, which diffused an agreable perfume thror.ghoui the apartment. 'Why, Miss Susan,"" akcd the blunt old physician, 'how long have you been so ex travagant? Those flowers have cost no trifle.' . 'A young lady sent them to grandmoth er, sir, and I think they did her more good than all the medicine she took yesterday. A young lady, eh?' - 'My buoquet, as sure as fate,- thought Mr. T . - : ' - 'Doctor, he asked, as seoa as they were in the street again, 'if you had taken great pains in selecting choice flowers to please a young lady, wnat would you think to 6ee her give them away to an Id wo man?' " . ' Think! Why, that she considered the the gift too bright a one to witlxsr among live heartless sceues ef fashionable life, and wished to place it where it would . awaken sincere pleasure.' . . A few days alter, Mr, 1 managed, as if by accident, lo meet Dr. II agaia in ihe vicinity of the house to which his costly bouquet had been transferred. Fol lowing his old friend again to the sick, room he took from the little, table as shily as he could the witherou flowers, and put. some fresh ones in their place. Of course, it was only in a fit of abstraction that ho con veyed the faded ones to bis pockat instead of throwing iheto, away. Some two years after, when .Mr. and Mrs. T wero packing up for a trip to Eu- rope.the former took from hisprivate drawer a withered bouquet, and aaid, 'There, Lu cy, where do you think I found that?. 'I'm sure I cannot tell,' was her laughing reply- . 'I stole it from an old woman's sick room' he said. 'Your ermsin offered to show you how to preserve it, but it seems you under stood the art 'of doing it better than she thought.' " ' .'
