WHAT A PITY IT 13 HE DRINKS!
Do you know the nice young man,
That lives across the way?
The accomplish'd lady, .lulia Van,
He's courting now they say:
Yes, lie's a noble fellow,.
So every body thinks,
Rul then lie wiil get mellow,
What a pitv il is he drinks!
He's a man of gifted mind,
His h: art's an earthly lleav'n;
Ami every fading t- rclsiied,
That God to him ha giv'n;
No intellect is quicker,
In every iliing lie thinks;
Bui .".It! lie loves the liquor,
What a pity it is he drinks!
I am told thai Julia now,
Is jealous of the youth;
Not jealous of his solemn vow.
For he's a man of truth;
But jealous of his throttle,
Foreveiy body thinks
lie loves tlie brandy bottle,
What a pity it is ho drinks!
He's a very moral nun,
And honest too they say;
He's very gen'rous when lie'can
Give any thing away;
But then at church he's noddy,
And every person thinks
He takes too much of toddy,
What a pity it is he diinks!
The' fair Julia seeks her glass,
To view her sparkling eyes;
Thai every gay and lovely lass
Is pleased to recognise;
He is condeniu'd by losses,
With many winks and blinks;
Because he's foiul of-glasses.
What a pity it is he drinks!
But tbo' he's a nice J'euug man,
So full of life and joy;
'Tis whisper'd that old Miser Van
Don't like the favov'd boy;
And why?—be still, you'll hear it,—
Because the old a.an thinks
He is too full of spirit,
What a pitv it is he drinks!

THE aORROCS OF TRANSPORTATION,
Mr. McCarthy a short tine since delivered: e
lecture on Transportation rln the Temperance
Hall, Glasgow. After a brief introduction, Mr.
McCarthy said ft hat many persons, in their ig
norance, committed crimetpurposely to be trar.e
ported. Unfortanate beys had thrown up the'r
caps iri apen coart, and huzzaed at the close ef
their sesstonce-of transportation. "But alas!"
said the lecturer, "how 'it'.le they knew of the
hunger, shivery, degrac'a'.ion, exile, dirt, sin,
and tynuany awaiting them. They little thought
of the bayonet, f lie cat-e'-iiine-tails, the blood
clotted triangle, the leg-chains and hand-cuffs,
the gory scourges, the night-watch and blood
hound, tlie.cliaiii gang.and gallows. Surely .if
they did, they .would never rejoice. The om : -
grant is well-dsd; the convict starved. The emi
grant is respectfully dressed; the conviet all
mottled in various colors. The emigrant has a
bed; the coiiwict a cavof-or wooden box. Tlx.
emigrant has,property and wages; the convict
no wages, hie -scle property an iron ring, or a
chain on Ins icg. Wages? A military guard,
and an iron-hearted over-looker. Wages? Cold
half-baked dough of tnaize meal, the same ar
they feed cows .and piws v. ith, and cold salt
beef like a block, after it lias gone round the
globe in her Mcjostyts -men-of-war, and con
demned, twenty-five years old. Salt pork
from Tahiti, tough as sole leather, and full of
r anirrialculiE. Wages, indeed', the cat and trian
. gle. Wages ane-out of tho-question.
When the convict ship-reaches its destina
tion, the unhappy company are marshalled on
..dock, being chaioet! in coupios, guarded in boat
;loads to the shone. They are then taken to a
; Jprge barrack at Sidney or. Hobart Town; the
government or colonial officers, come in a bo
.dy to examine these .outcasts of their native soil;
. the surgeon commander bring-; out a paper for
ovcry man, called an indenture. This paper is
under many heads; their name or names,height,
age, country, color <*f hair, eyes, moles, marks,
ho.w often in jail, what jails, what crimes. The
Govornor stands by, while hisliead officer holds
•thia irdenture in his hand, and asks questions
.from. it. If the poor natwi should fell a false
, 'hood, wo bo to his after life. Up. to 1838, the
convicts were hired out to settlers oa their ar
rival; hut their conduct was so had, that now
ewory man, whether a gentleman or. otherwise,
is compiled to work six mouths upion the go
vernment, works, which is for .fifteen, hours per
day, carvying stone or timber, felling wood,
pushing lwJivzy barro.vs, working on new roads,
cleaning the bottom of the docks and harbor,
up toAhe armpit in the tide. When they push
down their.spades, the water covers their liice;
in using their pick-axe they are wet to the
head. Tliey are mostly all fast to a large chain,
to prevent thejr .drowning; they di-ve and clear
away for sjasone.to build the New Quay,,kg.
Their feud 10 and a half lbs. cfuuizc meal
per week; "i lbs. .of salt beef, mostly unfit for
use, or 4 aad a half lbs. of salt pork; * ounces
of soap; 2 and a luiK" ounces of salt. No wa

Clothes—grey cloth cap, broad arrow stamped
,on it; grey trovers; .short jacket, half yellow,
grey; stockb)gi, prey, white rings; rbirt,
grey canvas; no kerchief or neckcloth; clothes

authorities think the convicts sufficiently drill
ed for assignment. Oa a contain day, advertised
in the Government Gazette, the settlers, far
mers and flockholders, and master mechanics,
? come to the barrack for government servants,
as they as called; these convicts .arc all march
ed out in a long lino of rows; the purchasers
walk along the line of-white slaves, and pick
out such as suit thorn; the purchaser bids the
convict walk, run, hold up his leg, arm, &c.,
hits his chest or back to prove if he is asthma

a little wool pad, or bed, a small rug horse

Iras to walk home to the homo of his new em
ployer, that, is, tyrant.
There is a set of laws made for the convict
population, that mean any thing, or nothing,
or every thing. Two magistrates can order
fitly hts'hes of the douWe, or government cat;
you can't speak; you rvro a convict; presump
tion is against you; you must be flogged. Ihe
scourgcr conics, tics you up, and tho bloody
lash scatters the Scsh your mother kissed so
often; tears away the blood that your fath
er reared with so much care. If not the chain
gang is your fatd you arc doomed; your heels
leaded with cankering heavy irons, to work
on the hot burning dusty roads, until your llesk
i is scorched like copper, and your heir is as vol
| low as jaundice; your eyes sore and running
j from hot winds of tho climate; yarn: poor bleed
ing wrist -carrying your chain;sometimes, oh
1 horrible, you are doomed to a penal settlement
! for life; a feathering of all human woes; black
despair; a land of horror; a rcccud hell, where
nought 'lnrt sadness dwells | here the lecturer
strippod ?,nd turned up his sleeves to show the
matinerof punishing with the lash; he exhibi
ted four scourges; the first, the small military
1 cat: the second, the naval cat; the third, the
1 thiefn or double cat; and lastly, the dreadful

| Oct of a large district of convicts, amount
: ing to 30,000, no less than 33,005 had been con
victed and flogged, their flesh scattered, their
: iilord spilled, their spirit-broken, their strength
reduced, their life shortened, their death mis
; crable. Sad is tho convict's funeral —his grave
I desolate in its misery; none 1o pray: none to
, -pay nature's last tribute to humanity, but the
I wild sea-bird, which sir.gs the requiem to thr
; murdered exile. His unchained spirit has fled
: aloft—escaped from the degraded body that
folds the solitary sea-.vashed sepulchre of the
j'drunkard's child on the distant strand of Tas
' mania. Tho convict is dead in law; ho car
• hold no property; yeu might snatch his bread
out ofhis teeth. Ce'.onel Ureto.a says, "I have
i seen them at work v hen the thermomcterslood
125 in the sun, being about twice tho heat ol
our summer day; the sun burns ulcers on the
backs of their necks. Tho gangs are, in the
country, locked up in square boxes, moveable
like wild beasts, sixteen in each box, allowing
j eighteen inches for every man. At. Sid-trey
1 they sleep in hulks, twelve on a large bencl
alia mass of filth Their countenances e\n
demoniac, and shocking to beho'd. Some
times in the hulks there are cells so small thai
j they cannot lie on their backs.
[For the American Republican ]
i The noble and patriotic stand which yon hcvt
assumed, in your endeavors to preserve the pn
| rity of the Elective Franchise free from the oon-
I laminations of foreign influences, deserves th<
warm, cordial support and approbation both c
j the native and adopted citizens of tiiis country
j [t is gratifying to every patriot and lover of hi:
| country to know; that since you have fearlessly
I raised aloft tlie flag of our country, yon bv<
j met a warm and .generous response fram -the
I citizens of Baltimore.
Every individual should now ho fully -im
pressed, that tire time has at length arrived
: when it behooves every American citizen whe
j wishes to preserve tho purity of our inetitu
| tions, and to hand them down to his cbildret:
j unimpaired as heireeeived them; to use his ut
i most exertions and endeavors to guaid the bal
lot box, (which is the only guarantee to out
! liberties,) 4 from the corrupt and baneful ir.fiu
j ences to which, of ' ite, it has been subjected
j and give his support and countenance to nc
I man who is opposed to tho alteration of' the
I existing naturalization laws. It is, Messrs.
j Editors, for these noble and patriotic purposes
I that you have raised aloft the sacred flagof our
1 country, and called upon the American people
ito rally under its folds. It must be apparent
I to every mind, that the Princes of Europe,
: (viewing with a jealous eye our growingcoun
try, and knowing that tho stability of their
j thrones will be shaken bv the prevalence o!
Republican principle!.; and knowing that they
I cannot subdue us by force of arms,) are now
i-endeavoring to undermine our tnoral and civil
{'-institutions, by opening upon us tin corrupt
Hood-gates of Europe—by sending l.e.e their
| paupers, cut-throats, and villains, to tie uunu-
I iactured into America!: citizens,
j .It is the American Republican Party, and it
alone, which can save Abe country from this
increasing evil; and may success crown you,
gentlemen, in you noble efforts for tho salva-
I tiori of our common country from the yoke of
foreign influence.
It, is now generally conceded by all who have
; the'.true interest of the country at heart, that
; the naturalization laws must be extended; and
that (the time for such alteration has at length
arrived. There are now-men elected for that
: specific purpose; and we ardently hope it will
I demand the serious consideration of the next
l Congress—for it istiino that the representatives
; of the people should be awakened to the situa
tion of tho country; when ws see the subjects
j of other countries arraying themselves in tiie
| politics of ithis country under foreign appella
tions, and controlmlT in some degree, tliodesti
i nies of this land. Holding the balance of pow

! ties, and assuming a stand which ought not to
I be tolerated TIN this country. A SUXSCRIUKR.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, IS-14. Tho case of
the Stale vs. Richard Martin, indicted for mur
der, in producing the death of Ann Short, by
severe beating, on the 2d of October last, .was
taken up.
After a brief recital .of what the Stale escpee
ted to prove in tho case, by George R. Rich
ardson, Esq., State's Attorney, tire following
testimony wns taken: .
Fratvces Riley, sworn; -testified that she liv
ed with Mr s. Cullom, on the corner of Caroline
and Wilk streets, where the deceased also reai
ded at the time of the affray. Witness was
standing at the door, when she-saw a back come
down Wilk it., and stepped iu the neighbor
hood; Ann Short came down after tho hack,
flung a slono, nod struck the back part of. the
hack; heard deceased say she designed to hit
Win. Clements, wb<o was in the hack; Martin
came tip to the door, and said to Ann, "J will
killjyou, you b—h;" to which Ann replied, "no
you can't, d—rt you, you can't kill inc heie;"
.Martin then stp)''k lbs depended in the face -r
THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1844
bruising her eye; deceased ran behind the bar,
took up a small stick, which prisoner immedi
ately wrenched from her, and gave hot" sev
eral blows over the head; deceased raised j
her arms to ward oti' the blows, and seized a .
decanter, hut did not strike with (I; Martin j
went out, and as she attempted to follow him, |
deceased staggered; witness caught her, and j
laid her upon a settee, bleeding and quite e.\-\
haustcd, Dr. Dashicll was called to her aid;;
she was sometime afterwards sent to tbo hos-;
pi tab
Cross-examined by defence. There wore
four girls living with Mrs. Cnllom; deceased
had been drinking the night before; don't think i
she had drarik much the morning of the affray: j
didn't think she got drunk frequently; deccas- j
ed had gone to bed drunk the previous night: i
thinks she did not rise till late a hour in the
morning; had been up the street drinking; had j
gone out for that purpose, and came down in
rear of the hack; said she flung the brick in j
fun; about three in the afternoon; hack was j
then passing up Wilk-st.; about a quarter of an |
hour afterwards the hack returned, when de- j
ceased took r.ri oyster shell, and was about
throwing it at the hack, but was per maded not j
by Mrs. Outturn; Martin then came up to the i
door, cursed deceased, heat her over the head
with a stick, held in his right hand, till he was ;
tired, and then clasping it with both hands, 1
continued to inflict blows; witness did not dis
cover the blood upon Ann, until she attempted
to follow after Martin, who bad pas.' lout of
the bouse; Martin had got upon his hack, when
Ann advanced towards the dcor, with a dccan- i
ter in her hand. Witness heard deceased com- !
[dain next morning of her head; she was sent to !
the hospital about n week afterwards; she re
tained her memory and spoke freely till her)
jaws became locked. Had never said site would j
do ail in Iter power to send prisoner to tire pen
itentiary; bad no knowledge of Martin previous ;
to the affray, and could have no reason for such ■
a design.
Ann Maria Brown, sworn. Was passing]
down Wilk street, with Arm Short, when the
hack passed; saw her throw the stone; went
into Mrs. Cullom's passed into the back room,
heaid a noise in front, and upon coming ofit
| saw Martin heating Ann; they were behind
> the bar; saw Ann throw a decanter at Martin,
j hut it did not hit him; Ann remained about
] two weeks, and was sent, to tire hospital; had
] been to Mrs. Frazier's, corner of Wilk-st., witii
Ann, to get a drink on the morning of the at
' fray; did not know that Ann had been there
| before; Ann was drunk tires night previous; dc
! ceased was naturally of good healt i, but drank
freely, and when under the influence of liquor
j was quarrelsome.
Ann Eliza Goodhue, sworn. Was standing
: in a door opposite Mrs. Cullom's, when the
1 hack stopped; saw Martin go to the hryrsn,
j laughing; ire went in, and came out, still l&ugh
' ing; saw hirn throw something away, and get
| upon his hack; the hack had cotne from tire
I direction of White Hall. Witness went over
j to Mrs. Cullom's, and saw Ann lying upon a
; settee, bleeding; aided in dressing her head till
] the doctor came
Jarre Culloin, sworn. Was in the back part
j- of the house, getting dinner; heard Martin in
the bar-room cursing Ann, and she in turn
cursing biin; said to Martin, "Dickey, don't
j strike her here;" saw a bruise upon the tacc of
I deceased, where he had struck her; Arm laube
j hind the bar, and Martin followed her, took a
I cane from her which she had picked up, and
j gave her about twenty blows, with both hands
j hold of it, across the head; when Martin got
the stick from Ann, she threw a bottle at him,
which witness picked up; Ann was in a dread
ful condition—bruised and cut most shocking
ly; she remained in my house some time after
wards, and on one occasion came down stairs,
said she was dying, and asked for a physician;
Dr. Dashicll was called in, who told her she
was not dying, but merely suffering from the
wounds; tbo blows were inflicted upon tire
head; deceased laised her arm to ward tlie blows
off, but received severe blows about the head
and temple.
Cross-examined. The decanter was thrown
by Ann, after she had bean beaten, and as Alar
tin went out of the house; the deceased in go
ing to tire door at that time fainted from ex
haustion. When the deceased first raised the
decanter, was immediately after Martin had
taken the stick from her; she at that time at
tempted to strike him; site bad previously re
ceived a blow in the face from Martin; in
forcing the stick from the band of deceased,
the skin was very much torn otf.
Dr. Daslriell, sworn. Was called to see
the woman spoken of, on the afternoon of the
2tnrl,of October; discovered several flesh wounds
upon the head, rather in front; some blood-ves
sels wore separated; tho skuli was not fractured;
applied ligatures; thought tho woman was la
boring wider the influence of liquor; about II
days afterwards she complained of lock-jaw;
Iter condition was very favorable, till sire had
probably taken cold, which aggravated the
wounds; drinking cold watcrsomctimes produces
tcttinoss; the wounds may have been lire pri
mary, and the taking of cold only secondary,
in producing death; she was taken to tiro hos
pital, and died about five days afterwards.
Cross-examined. The wounds were of aflesh !
character; they gave no indication of violence;
considered lier a woman of intemperate habits, |
from her general condition; similar wounds up
on a peison of different habits, would have
been less troublesome; lock-jaw from colds gen
erally take place within from three to five days
—from wounds, about nine days; bad found
deceased sitting at a window, in thin dress, on
visiting her, and cautioned her against it; win
dow was not open; did not know of any thing j
that indicated she had used intoxicating liquors
while attending her; had known cases of tctti
ness resulting from cold alone—it was produced
front various causes; should think that blows
from so stout a psrsoa as the accused, would
have produced concussion of the brain; knew
of no niai-trcatmont of a medical character
.which would likely have pioduced death.
Dr. Annan, sworn. As attending physician
at the hospital, saw tho woman alluded to af
ter -abo was brought there; she was then labor
ing :wider symptoms of the lock-jaw, which
termiuated Iter existence in about two weeks
afterwards; she was treated for tho lock-jaw;
in n post morttm examination tho spine indicat
ed she bad died from its effect; the brain had
been slightly injured; considered the lock-jaw
as having been produced by tbo wounds.
Cross-examined. A person wounded, as de
scribed, would likely be attacked by the lock
jaw, if expusod to trtoistu'o and cold; cases of
the kind are mi, common in tltis climate,
as in warmer, but might lie produced; in
n;,r,iiy cases slight wounds produce lock-jaw, I
tiie precise cause of which cannot bo ascertain- |
etl by medical men; a person of good com tilt:- <
tion might have recovered from the injury done !
the bruin of the deceased; there might have j
been other external wounds which may have 1
healed lip; but two or thrco slight contusions
were discoverable upon the head, at the time
of her death; lock-jaw is of so easy production,
that it is always dreaded after operations, how
ever skilful.
Examination in chief resumed. The wounds j
of the scalp produced lock-jaw, and lock-jaiv j
produced death; knew of no treatment of the
patient other than in accordance with medical !
skill.
The testimony was hero concluded. The j
case was given to the jury, with a remark from j
tho State's Attorney, <l. It. Richardson, Esq., .
that lie abandoned the first count in the in- |
dictment, of murder, and should only ask a I
verdict of manslaughter. David Stewart, Esq., J
for the defence, acquit'scd; and the Court so in- j
structcd the jury. The jury immediately ren- j
dered a verdict of "manslaughter."
Edward C. Marshall, Esq., v.ided Mr. Stew- ■
art on the part of the traverser, in this cas".
State vs. Win. 11. Scliaelfer, indicted for an ,
assault, with intent to kill, John Miller. This
ease was tried before the Court; the evidence |
was of rather an indefinite character, and he
was declared not guilty.
The Court adjourned until 10 o'clock to-|
day.
A PROBABLE Mum.: aIN NEW YORK. The j
New York Sun stales that about three o'clock j
on Monday morning, a watchman coming
through East Broadway near Catharine street,
was shown a vulice and a man's hat in the mid
dle of tho street in a pool of blood, which bad
been discovered by ono of the carriers of the
Sun. At the same time one of the neighbors
threw up tho window and stated that there had
been a cry of watch, and aseoflle for more than
half an hour. The watchman said he must
have been round in Madison street at the time,
fhere is 110 ciue obtained to the foul affair It
is supposed that a traveller with his valice had
arrived early in the morning, and was attacked,
robbed and probably murdered by some ruf
fians.
RAPE BY A NEGRO ON A WHITG WOMAN.—

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. An attempt I
was inai'o in Philadelphia, on Monday night, ]
by M. Leger, to take the life of M Barousse.
They are two very respectable Frenchmen,
and were nboul starting a periodical in that ci- |
ty in the French language. On Monday night!
