Washington, March 1J1,IR‘15.
Between this time and May of next year, the “thick
coming” events of the political world wilt have fully
.transpired. Judge White and Mr. Webster are already
in the field, and on the 20th of the coming May, the
Baltimore Gonvention will present the Republican party
with their proposed candidate for the Presidency. Let
him he a mnn of sagacity, firmness, and known, tried
devotion to the principles of the party, who shall be thus
nominated for their suffrages, and let the party but art
with unity, with prudence, and with energy, and the
triumph of the unholy alliance of Nullifiers, Tariffites.
and Bank men, is impossible. But if there be not union;
if, with any particular member, the other members of
the body of Democracy shall refuse communication, the
responsibility of dissension will he no light burden to
him on whom it may fall. The glittering prize is seduc
tive to the aged heart, as well as to tile young imagina
tion: but beware, lest in jour own endeavors to rise, ye
votaries of ambition, that ye bring not ruin and mourn
ing upon your country. “'By the ambition of one man,
Rome fell;” by the ambition of many, our bright and
beautiful land may become a waste and desolate wilder
ness.
You have doubtless noticed the nomination of a new
candidate for tire Vice Presidency, Gov. Woodbury, by
some of the New Hampshire papers, in connection with
that of Judge White. The Granite State is, and may well
be proud of Iter son. The history of his life, shews abund
ant reason for their partiality, but it shews him unbend
ing in principles, that those principles are democratic,
and that be is not to be allured by the brightest jewel
from the path of honor aide duty to his principles. Be
assured, he will not lend himself to the distraction of the
party. If lie were to be nominated in connection with
Judge VVhite or Mr. Van Buren.by a regularly organised
Convention of the Democratic party, 1 cannot see that
he could consistently decline. Aiid for one, F should
hope lie would not, lot i believe that he would reflect
honor on the station.
Many great men have filled the chair, but no tarnish
would be left by his occupancy. 1 have been credibly
informed that four or five personal and political friends of
Governor Woodbury have addressed him a letter, in
quiring if lie sanctioned the nomination. The exact na
ture of his reply has not transpired, but it is said to be a
lijou of republican sentiments—Urn answer, in short j
that might be expected from him. A tfay or wo, wiJJ, I
1 presume, enlighten us all upon the subject. **VI doll '
you the tale ns twas told to me.”
There is nothing else worthy attention. The town is
deserted by nil save the ordinary inhabitants—the belles
have retired to repair their charms from the inroads of fa
tigue; the more elderly ladies to moralize, alias talk scandul
—the legislator to render an account of his “intents,” or
to shield himself from the anger of his master, the people;
and the mere man of the world has retired to cultivate
his whiskers, and learn the newest German dance.
Since the above was in type, we hare received tbocor- j
rcspondence to which it alludes, and hasten to lay it be
fore our readers. The reply of Mr. VVoodbucvHo Uie
gentlemen by whom he was addressed, on the subject of
the nomination, is precisely in that strain ofJofty.patri
otism and disinterestedness which might, have beer ‘ex
pected from his well-won political reputation. Me stands
already deservedly high in the estimation of his demo
cratic fellow-citizens, but this reply will give him addi
tional claims to their regal'd and veneration. He has
shown, that lie at least is not to be made the means of
distraction and division in the Republican ranks, ami that
he rests upon the decision of the whole parly—turning
a deaf ear to the solicitings of sectional fragments. It
iB this spirit alone which conducts to victory, and en
sures a glorious triumph. As a harmonious unit, we
cannot be defeated—Like the Republic itself, united we
stand, but divided we fall; and every true friend of De
mocracy, will, when asked to secede, like the patriotic
Woodbury, apply the words of our venerable l'residnnt,
in Another instance—“the Union; it must Ik- preserved!’’

and having seen your name recently announced in some

liberty to inquire whether this has been done with your
aPpr<*batioii, or will hereafter receive your sanction ?—

W asimnotos, March 12th, 1835.
Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry, whether my
consent has lioen given to be considered a candidate for
Vice President, 1 would frankly stale, that no such con
sent has been, or can be given, provided my name is to
bo used in opposition to any nomination which may be
made by the democratic party.
Whether that party uncertain* and expresses its pre
ferences for particular candidates for those elevated sta
tions, by monos of a general convention front most of
the States, or, in the absence of that, by local conven
tions, composed in both rases of delegates from the peo
ple, long and easeful-observation lias convinced me that
such conventioaw, though not infallible, are still the su
rest guides to the true state of public opinion. They
can seldom Is- useless except in extraordinary cases of
such transcendent merit in some individual as to produce,
and, without the test of n convention, to coau/c great
unanimity i« -kis support.
In order to impart a due moral and political force to I
the nominations made at these Conventions, it is admitted
that they should bo held under circumstances, permitting
•lithe members of the- party to be fairly <re,presented who 1
may choose to be. But even then, looking to certain !
principles, incident to human nature, it cannot lx- ex- J
pec ted that the percuss selected will happen, itseivery re- 1
spect, to be the most acceptable to every voter or every
Rtnte. Yet a strong presumption arises in-favor of the
general fitness and popularity of the pie-sou «<>
lerted, and the support of such nominations be
comes, like the original adoption of our Coistitu
lion, a question of expediency ami compromise, and
is usually n much less evil than a departure from them
Because, such a departure not only opens a direct avc- i
nuo to divisions, and the consequent predominance !
vitlier of men smd doe Uriels, radically opposed to our j
own views, or .of a coalition dangerous to the isirity and
perpetuity of democratic principles, but it fa-nils inevil a- '
bly to bring th«- final election of the highest officers in f|»e j
Republic into£k>ngrass; and thus to deprive the people I
of that direct and derisive influence in it, believed by I
many to lx- so essential v» the Mcc.urity of our rightaaud ^
liberties.
More esprci.iHy m a digirv-u .«■ this subject, among
the friends of the present Administration, to be depreeal- J
ed, if it happen under circumstances which may exhibit j
the appearance of its having arisen from g/!egr«p//;>«/
ditrritni nation sand jealousies, or of it* being expected to
derive strength from sueh fatal sources of discord.
ft is with Tionost pride that an appeal can bo made to
the history of Ihia country, during the whole jx-ri<*) whx-b
has elapsed under our present lor/ri of government, Vi
bear witness, that tlx* democracy of the North, with
whom it has been my happiness to lx* more intimately
connected, has never, Under the severest trials, and llw
most painful temptations, either proposed measure* or
cherished opinions in regard to the Month or West- their
great interests, or distinguished citizens—which hsw
tended to foster those embittered sectional divisions of
feeling, prejudice, or action,so dangerous to the dura
bility of the Union.
The cause in which they have embarked has been that '
of free principles and equal rights, ns undrrstixw) and
expounded by the great mass of their party, from 17f|«
to the present moment; and the continued triumph of I
that cause by the harmonious and liberal policy of its '
friends, the only policy which, amidst surrounding penis
of various kino*, can secure that triumph, is fkr dearer
to them and myself, than the elevation to power of any
individual, however highly respected or esteemed. ' I
While believing, ns 1 am convinced they fully do, that
tht.ee principles and rights are something tiu.ro titan
empty names, <>r inerp party badges, they will lament,
am. as he ret*’tore, nhiiii all s'eps calculated to produce I
c dliM. n. In seek ng that triumph by these means, they |
h'»pe to see local prejudices, jH isoiiai predilections, unii
individual aspirations waived or compromised ; nnd
examples set promptly and cheerfully, which will
ensure that hunuony in council, and vigor in ac
tion. which are indispensable to baud down their
politicul faith and practice unimpaired to their pos
terity. It is conceded, that individuals may ut times
diller as to some of those principles; circumstances
ma v occur which, for a period, will overshadow the clear
light ill others—the stern ardor of a few on favorite sub
jects— the disappointment of others, inevitable in all
human aliairs—and the constant strife for |H'rsonal su
premacy, inseparable Irom a Republic, where iiidc|H>nd
cnce oi opini >n is properly tolerated, and reason is tejt
Jrrr to a w hit irith error—may, in a certain degree, occa
sionally delate or put in jeopardy some of the strong and
well known lines of demarcation between Democratic
and Aristocratic doctrines. Delusive attempts then
sometimes follow to convince the people that the con
test for the continued administration of Democratic prin
ciples in our General Government is a contest of exag
gerated consequence, mid hence that it mailers little to
whose hands that administration is confided.
llut, it is believed by the iiudcrsigucd, that, in the es
timation of the American people, most of these lines have
always upjM'ured strikingly marked, between real en
croachments, uluses, or usurpations, on the one hand,
and on the other, popular liberty, economy, a strict con
struction id delegated power, and a hostility to oppres
sive monopolies, and to restraints on freedom ol con
science, or any of the rights of man, beyond what is ne
cessary tor their due protection, and the maintenance of
public order. Me who expresses doubts of the existence
ol these boundary lines, or the propriety of all honorable
concessions, and sacrifices for the preservation of the
principles which belong to the democratic side of them,
muy probably, without a ivunt of charity, be supposed to
appreciate lightly the utility and importance of the prin
ciples themselves. This every citizen has n political
right to do. Hut my life and creed have never led me to
cherish such doubts, or to place such an estimation on
that class of principles.
Willi these views, gentlemen, 1 am happy to inform
you, not only that my name lias been announced lor the
office suggested, without my approbation, and that 1 shall
decline any nomination not made in the manner before
mentioned; but a hope is felt that it will not l.e deemed
•issuiiiij)<f, <>r ungrateful, il an desire be expressed
by me, that, under the existing circumstances of the
country, my name should not lie presented in any mode
whatever, ns a candidate for Vice President.
1 have the honor to be, very respectfully, your ob’t

THE SENATE AND THE POST OFFICE.
Heretofore we have promised to notice the bill
by t'li* Senate to “change the organization of the General
Post Office.”
The first objection to this bill is. that it proposed to
create a new and unnecessary office, with a salary of
$.{H0(). Ah the committee of this reforming body re
ported It. two new officers were proposed, n Commissioner
ol the General Post Office with salary of $4000. and a
Solicitor of the General Post Office with a salary we
1 relieve of $S»o00. But, before it passed, the Solicitor
was lopped oil and the salary of the Commissioner was
reduced to $3000.
This office, as we have said, is totally unnecessary.
All the ministerial duties of the Department can be per
formed with perfect facility by the Postmaster-General
and Ins two Assistants. The settlement of accounts
now made in the Department itself, should be transfer
red to the Treasury Department In the latter Depart
ment there are already live Auditors. By a re-nrrange
incnt of their duties, and a transfer to one of them of a
number of clerks now in the Post Office, this whole bu
siness may be as well done as by the creation of a new
office.
It is a little singular that this bill, which creates a new
office, and thus unnecessarily extends Executive patron
age, should have been voted for by Mr. Calhoun, Judge
White, and all those who are constantly exclaiming
against the number of persons in the pay of the Govern
ment. They appear willing to create offices by tl.eir
votes, and then to complain because they are created!
But these gentlemen committed a gmss violation of
their professed principles in another feature of this bill
They voted for and passed another bill to repeal an act
ol 1-8.20, which limits to four voars the continuance in of
fice of certain officers of the United States, on the ground
that it was a violation of good policy, if not of the Con
stitution. Judge White even made a speech upon it
which is now used to prove his fitness for the Presidency’
Would any one suppose, that almost at the same mo
ment when they were condemning this limitation of of
ficial tenure, and abolishing it in one bill, they were in
the broadest sense re-eiuirting it in another f ’Yet such
is the fact. The 8th section of the Post Office bill, as
passed by the Senate, enacts :
"That there shall be appointed by the President, l»y
and with the advice and consent ol the Senate, a Post
master for each Post Office, the nett proceeds of which
amounted to one thousand dollars or upwards in the year
ending the thirty- first of March, eighteen hundred nYid
thirty-four, or which may hereafter', in any year, amount
to that sum or upwards, WHO SHALL HOI,I) 1HS
OFFICE FOR THE TERM OF FOUR YEARS,”&c.
Tims, while the Senate were condemning and repeal
ing the four years' tenure of office, in relation to one set
of officers, they were introducing it in relation to ano
ther! The House of Representatives had sent to them
from the Senate, almost at the same moment, one hill
condemning this principle, and abolishing its practice
and another approving it, and introducing it into a dif
fi rent Department of the Executive! Yet, Mr. ('lav,
Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Webster, and Judge White voted lor'
both bills '! ° J
Can all this be accounted for on any other supposition
than that the bill relative to Kxcculivc patronage was a
mere electioneering device, to enable Judge White to make
himself acceptable to the Wings by n speech—such os he
made!' They could not have-expected that an enlight
ened House of Representatives would vote for both bills,
thereby approving contradictory principles, and authoriz
ing an inference Hint they have none.
Rut this section was a monstrous violation of Whig
principles, or rather professions, in another respect. I low
pertinaciously do they oppose removals from office ?
I low often have they made our ears tingle with the cry
of “proscription ?" Could they be suspected of turning
pmscribers themselves? Could it be conceived that they,
who were legislating in one bill to prevent men going out
of Office, ami to prevent the President's turning thorn out,
would themselves, in another bill, legislate out hundreds
of officers “atone fell swoop,” nil of whose places it
would have been the immediate duty of the President to
till? Vet, the eighth section of the Post office bill in elli-cl
proposed to turn out at once every Postmaster in the U.
States, the income of whose office exceeds $100(1, and all
of their places must have been immediately tilled by the
President.
In addition to these and other points in this hill which
required mature consideration, it would not have been
put into operation as it passed the Senate, without em
barrassing, if not stopping the operations of the Depart
ment. The engagements of such a Department must
necessarily be extensive, and those of the Post Office had
of course been predicated on the control of its own means.
Ry this bill, that control was taken away, and no other
means given to meet those engagements. The hill was
to go into operation from its passage. The revenues <>f
the Department were directed to he paid into the
Treasury, and the Department Could draw out no more
than it paid in. Rut not a moment was allowed to
make these mighty changes, it would have taken months
toariAiige n system bv which the income of over ten thou
sand Post Offices, scattered throughout the United
States, could Is- brought into the Treasury. It would
have taken weeks to organize even the new office
of accounts, so that a claim could have been settled
or a single payment made,—and what in the mean time,
could have been the condition of the Department? It
must he obvious to any one, that a Department whose
business is so extensive and ramified, cannot be revolu
tionized in a moment. Time must be allowed to intro
duee new systems; and bad -either of the bills proposed
at the last session passed, it would have been absolutely
necessary to place the time at which they were to take
effect, at some months distance, that the Department
might gradually accommodate its business to the change.
the /’oft <Iffice, ire arc informal, is rapidly redeeming
itself from its ein.liiirrusswj-.rls. It will, probably be near

gen. jackson:
'1'lie number for last month of the London New Month
ly Magazine contains an article entitled General Jackson,
and contributed, avowedly, by an American “from the
North,’ who had an interview with him in 1831. We
subjoin two passages o| the article, in order that our rea
dersmay know how Andrew, I'olontc tic t'er, has been
exhibited to the British public.—JVrif. Gazelle.
“ General Jackson is very tall, bony, and thin, with
an erect military bearing, and a head set with a con
siderable Jicrte upon lus shoulders. A stranger would
at once pronounce upon his profession; and His frame,
features, voice, and action, have a natural and most
■peculiar warlikeness. He has' (not to s|>eak disres
pectlullly) a frame-cock took all over him.—His face
is unlike any other; its prevailing expression is ener
gy, but there is, so to speak, a lofty honorableness
in its thin-worn lines, combined with a penetrating
and sage look of talent, that would single him out,
even among extraordinary men. us a" person of a
more than usually superior cast. Ho looks like the last
person in the world tube “ humbugged,” and yet a ca
ricature of him would make an admirable Don Quixotic.
In the days of chivalry he would have been the mirror of
tried soldiers—an old iron-grey knight, invincible and
lion-hke, but something stiff in his courtesy. His eye is
of a dangerous fixedness, deep set, und ovcrhungrtiy bushy
grey eyebrows, lus features long, with strong, ridgy lines
running through his cheeks; Ins forehead a good deal
seamed; and lus white hair, stiff and wiry, brushed obsti
nately back, and worn quite with an expression of n
die ran i tlcfrize of bayonets. In his mouth there is a re
deeming suavity as he speaks, but the instant his lips
close, a vizor of steel would scarcely look more impene
trable. llis manners are dignified, and have been called
high-bred and aristocratic by travellers; but to rnv mind
are the model of republican simplicity and straightforward
ness. Ilr is unite it mail one irnuLt /»,• ,11.. ...
exponent of the manners of his country.
“ General Jackson would be a bad diplomatist in Eu
rope, or anywhere, without power. He has but one die
rat ilc biitiulle—he rides down and breaks tliroinrh every
thing that other men would think of avoiding or circum
venting. He cuts nil gordiau knots. His is”no “head tc
creep into crevices."—Having made up his mind as tc
his aim, and trusting to bin own directness of purpose
he shuts his eyes, like the monarch of the herd ami
charges—generally with success. |{is p.issions are said
to be tremendously violent; unit a long life has but little
subdued their warmth. His paroxysms are not unfre
quent; and sooth to say, he lias often cause; for never
man was so crossed and thwarted as he has been
in his Administration. His stern uprightness and sin
gleness of mind, however, bring him generally well
through. Ilis immediate passion is soon over, but
his purpose does not evaporate with his anger; and he
has shown, since he has been in power, some rather start
ling specimens of his inflexibility. This extends to the
desire of serving his friends, hinc tllec lachrymal,—it is the
only thing like a breath on his justice. Immediately on
Ins inauguration, lie turned out inexorably every orficoi
of the government, from the highest next himself, to tin
clerks hi the post-otlices, and rewarded his partisans wit]
the places. Ottering no pretence of excuse or apology
however. He is quite above that. His reasons were
openly avowed: he thought that where there was an ad
vantage in his gift, his friends had the first claim. Ami
a sacrificing business he would have made of it, if Ame
rica had not been a country where u man may turn his
hand to anything at half a day’s notice."
We have given the preceding because it is a striking
sketch of one of the most extraordinary men of the age.
Those who have the pleasure of a ]>orsoiial acquaintance
w ith him, will be best able to judge of its correctness.
There are parts of the picture, however, which we have
no doubt, from all the best accounts we have seen, are
overdrawn. We allude totlic alleged violence and con
tinued impetuosity of his temper—but still more to the
universal proscription he has made of his opponents. It
is known to every mail, who knows anything about it,
that, so far from turning every officer out, lrom tin!
to tlio lo\vi*i>t, more ure sutJrrr<J to rouiniu
w/io are liis enemies, than his friends—that the propor
tion in those two great departments, the Clerkships at
Washington, and the Postmasters throughout the United
Slates, is, to this moment, decidedly in favor of the
Whigs—and that it is unjust to uscribc to him, the mo
tn is, by* which hi:, (or his friends,) are said, in this sketch,
to have been actuated in making removals. As we will
not, however, publish a partial sketch, we will suppress
no part of it—but lay every part of it, just as we find it
in .Mr. Walsh's Gazette, before our readers.—Enquirer.
Portsmouth, (Ohio,) March 18.
NorthF.n.s Boundary.—Gov. Lucas lias appointed
General Patterson, of Adams, General Taylor, of Lick
ing, and Mr Scaler of ihe Western Reserve, to re-sur
vey ami establish the boundary line between this State
uiiil the Territory of Michigan, in pursuance of the re
solution recently passed by our Legislature providing
for the same. Measures have also been adopted for or
ganizing the militia of the disputed district. Wo sin
cerely hope this matter may be accommodated without
any nearer approach to violence—indeed, we are con
vinced that both parties have already gone further than
discretion and their common interests required. There
can certainly lie no need of preparing our fellow-citizens
to cut each other’s throats, in order to bring about equity
and justice.—Courier. J
OHIO AND MICHIGAN.
The annexed letter from Monroe, Michigan, reveals an
unpleasant state of things in regard to the disputed
boundary between that Territory and Ohio. We are not
accurately informed as to the merits of the controversy
but at any rate we think the State of Ohio, in assumin.r
to be judge and jury in a case to which she is a party, has
gone beyond the letter. However, we trust that the good
sense of the Governments and people of the two Jurisdic
tions will not suffer the affair to proceed to extremities._
It would be better that the disputed territory, after be
ing relieved from its inhabitants, should be sunk to the
bottom ol'the ocean.—A". Y.Jmim. Cam.
Monitor, March 4, 1835.
Intelligence was received in town last evening from
Washington, staling that the Appropriation Dill for
£30,000 to construct a Ship Canal at the mouth of the
River Raisin, had passed both Houses of Congress, and
only required the signature of the President, to become a
law. This was cheering news indeed, to nil interested
in this place. Should that hill become u law, Monroe must
be an important place, or at least, a powerful rival to
Detroit ero long. Men who felt poor yesterday, own
themselves rich to-day.
The inhabitants feel but one check to their prosperity
which is the unsettled state of the Southern boundary of
the Territory adjoining Ohio. Much excitement is mani
fbMted by the populace both of the Territory and Ohio.
The Legislature of Ohio have passed a law extending
their jurisdiction over the disputed territory—in const*
quo nee of which, the acting Government of the Terri
tory has issued prompt orders to the Brigadier-General
to enforce tin- laws of Michigan to the extent of his
power, by calling to his aid the Militia, if deemed neces
sary.—Monne is to be Head Quarters for all the Michi
gan forces. The Governor is in town to-day from De
troit; also the General, who has been here for the Inst
ten days, and who Inis the entire command of all the
forces. It is hoped that the question will be amicably
settled soon, otherwise an attempt at coercion, perhaps
bloodshed, will be the consequence.— I>ecisivc laws have
been passed, both by Ohio and Michigan, touching the
question, the validity of which, we fear, will be tested by
urms. J
It seems idle for Michigan to contend with Ohio, in
arms, yet Michigan appears determined to assert her
rights, more from a sense of honor than from a pecunia
ry advantage,though the tract in dispute, is, and will be,
valuable to its possessor; still, 'tis thought l»y many
that the whole affair will result in a temporary manner
ill favor of Ohio, till the line can he defined by Con’
gress or the Supreme Court of the United States
Orders havc gone forth, as yon will see by an Bxtra of
the Michigan Sentinel, published in this place, which we
send by the mail, from the Commander-In-Chief,requir
ing the examination of arms, ammunition, Arc., at the
several arsenals.
A speedy adjustment is indeed desirable to all con
eernetl, as a tide of emigration is expected here, iri this
region, the coming season, who may be frustrated in their
plans, and leave the country, if made liable to he called
out iri the militia to fight the “ Buckeyes,'’ (ns the peo

consideration of a strip of land, which, whether under
the jurisdiction of Ohio or Michigan, cannot benefit them

Fnr.nr an RSBUBo, March 80—Tho lovers of good
fruit will be very sorrv to lenrn, that the prospect of a
Reach crop this year, fins been utterly blasted by the ex
traordinary severity of the past winter. Upon examine
tion, the vitality of the bud, we are informed, is destroyed,
and there will consqnently be no bloom. The same is the
ease probably with the apricot, and others of the least
hurdy kind, We understand, also, (hat considerable in

or escapes.
When the public are informed that this beautiful jet
black Arabian was selected out of a favorite stock,from
the stud of the Emperor of Morocco, ull is said that need
be, relative to purity of blood or pedigree, lie is a horse
ol line form, exhibiting great muscular powers, con
nected with all the peculiar marks of the bluvdid Ara
bian. He is near five feet high, (uncommonly tall for un
Arabian,) with a broad and square forehead—short and
small muzzle—a sparkling, brilliant eye—small, hand
some ear, and flowing mane and tail.
An opportunity for a cross, so important, so thorough,
and so desirable, is seldom presented to the people of this
country. The subscribers respectfully invite them to
proiil by it. The February number of the Farmers’ Re

Gentlemen possessing and reading the horse books of
this country and England, are requested to examine
them diligently for themselves; but for tiiosc not having
the menus of acquiring the same information, 1 beg to
be permitted to stab*, that a better pedigree cannot
exist. If blood consists in a near consanguinity to a
stiain of Imrscs most remarkable for all the high and
desirable qualities in the zoology of horses, a simple
relation u! tacts, will establish Lclipse Lightfoot as equal
to till V' liniNP iinnn hnrlli A ml i i i
gin with those most recent, and nearest home, l ie him
sell has been twice sold in less than six months; first
time for $7,OIK)—second time for $10,000. His full bro
ther, Shark, still more recently, lor $15,000. His full sis
ter, the present Black Maria, is held by her owner at 8
or 10,000 dollars. Eclipse, who is sire of Eclipse Light
loot, is the first horse that ever sold for $10,000, in Ame
rica. And a year or two ago, at 20 years old, he again
Bold for about the same sum. He ran until he was nine
yenis old—all his races four-mile heats—and was taken
off the turf, as sound as a nut. Ho was never beaten;
and, to use the language of one of his strongest oppo
nents at one time, “ lie challenged the world—he beat
the woi Id—he won a world of money—and he is a world's
wonder.' ’
Lady Lighlfoot, dam of Eclipse Liglitfoot, ran ut all
distances and at oil places, until she was 11 years old.
She was beaten but seldom—once by Beggar Girl, 2 mile
heats, when site was prepared and run down for 4 miles;
once by the great Ivsus A'uturw, Hermaphrodite, whom
she beat twice, (all 4 mile heats.) She was twice beaten
by the invincible Eclipse; which is to pluck the laurel
from one side of the diadem to place it the more grace
fully on the other—And she was beaten, at 11 years old,
by Betsy Richards; but it was evident her day had pass
ed, and she should then have been, where she so glori
ously died, among the first matrons oi the age. In 1615,
then 3 years old, she won all her stakes, and was carried
to Charleston, 6. C. by Gen. Wynn, where she won in
three consecutive days, at 2, 3 and 4 mile heals, all the
money run for in the week, heating the best horses of the
day. Among them, the famous Lotlciy, (dam of Kos
ciusko, bail' VVeinicr and Crusader;) the famous'I rans
port, (dam of Bertrand, Jr. and Little Venus,) the fa
mous Merino Ewe, (dam of Phillis and Gohauna,) and
others: u feat never before or since performed by any
horse. She won innumerable races, but most remarkable,
7 Jockey Club purses, nt 10 years old ! !!
Ohl Black Maria, by imported Shark, grandatn of
Eclipse Liglitfoot, ran until she was 14 years old; ac
quired for herself and her posterity an imperishable fame
— won a number of races—lost a few in the down-hill of
life, and was only rivalled by her next of kin.
Imported Shark (groat grand-sire of Eclipse Liglitfoot)
was got by Marxko, the sire of the greatEclipse,in Eng
land ; and is, of course, his half brother, and the great
grand-sou of Childers. Io these two horses lie has been
frequently compared as next; but, by the fairest reason
ing 1,1 world, he must be at least their equal. He ran
more races—won more money—was only beaten by two
horses, and that readily accounted for. Dorimont (sire
ol Gabriel) beat him, evidently by the difference ol
weight given him for the year. Shark beat him, when
aged, and both carried the same weight. Pretender, (his
half brother,) by Marske, heat him, from a slight defect in
the heels—a disease very common. A notice, in the
Racing Calendar for 178/, (1 think,) siys he won up
wards of 22,000 guineas (about $100,000 ;) and it is said,
by high authority, that 10.000 guineas were offered for
him, as he left the New-Markel Course for the last time.
If beauty, action, speed, bottom, duiability to last up
:.. pwigcYny ure me grana desiderata to
breeders, no strain of horses possess it in a more pre-cmi
iient degree. These are the qualities—this the blood of
Eclipse Lightfoot; not lobe detracted from by a full and
still further extension, too lengthy for publication', lie
has been twice purchased out of a training stable, in
which he was at the head, and by well approved judges;
and for general and immediate benefit, has been put to
stand. Over this, the horse could have no possible con
trol: but it is a just cause to inveigh against his un
kind owners, for depriving him the chance, by his might
and strength, of sustaining side by side with his closest
kin, their growing fame. If my life rested upon it, I
would take him for all distances, sooner than any horse
upon earth, not more tried; and as a stallion, second to
none.
lie is now at his harem, in Mecklenburg, Va., five
miles south of Bovdlon, near Taylor's Ferry, on Roan
