IDLE WORDS.
I have a high sense of the virtue and dignity
of the fern He character; and could not, by any
means, be thought to attribute to the ladies em
phatically, the fault here spoken of. But I have
remarked it in some of my friends, who, in all
but this, were among the loveliest of their sex.
In such, the blemish is more distinct and strik- '
ing. because so strongly contrasted with the
superior delicacy and* loveliness of their na
tures.
“ My God!” the beauty oft exclaimed
With deep impassioned tone—
But not in humble Prayer she named
The High and Holy one.
’Twas not upon the bended knee,
With soul upraised to heaven—
Pleading, with heart felt agony,
That she mignt be forgiven.
’Twas not in heavenly strains to raise
To the great Source of good
Her daily offering of praise,
Her song of gratitude.
But in the gay and thoughtless crowd,
And in the festive hail,
’Mid scenes of mirth and mockery proud,
She named the Lord of All.
She called upon that awful name,
When laughter loudest rang—
Or when the blush of triumph came—
Or disappointment’s pang!
The idlest thing that flatt’ry knew,
The most unmeaning jest,
From those sweet lips profanely drew
Names of the Holiest.
I thought how sweet that voice would be,
Breathing this prayer to heaven—
“My God, I worship only thee;
O, be my sins forgiven!”
MR. W. C. RIVES.
\From the Richmond Enquirer.]
To Thomas Richie, Esq.—I hope you will not
consider it impertinent in an humble individual
like myself lo address to you a few queries up
on a subject which in my humble estimation, is
of vital importance to the people of Virginia.
First—is not Mr. W. C. Rives in favor of
Abolition?
Secondly—have you not in your possession,
a letter from him from Paris, recognizing, in its
fullest extent, that doctrine?
Thirdly—Will you favor the public by mak
ing the same public?
Fourthly—Will you answer the above queries
affirmatively or negatively? A Whig.
The above article appeared in the Whig some
time since—in addition to which, it was said that
Mr. Gholson had, in one of his speeches, spok
en of such a letter from Mr K. to T. R. We
thought it our duty to lay the subiect before Mr.
Rives—as we had not preserved the letter from
Paris, at least, we could not find it among our
papers—and wc had no right, even if we had,
to lay a private letter before the public, without
the writer’s consent. Mr. Rives enclosed to us
in reply, the following * xtract of a letter he had
previously addressed to a gentleman, who had
written him on the same subject. The extract
corresponds with the contents of the Paris let
ter, as nearly as we can recollect them:
Ertract of a Letter to //. A. G., Esq.—Aug. 30/A,
1834.
“Iam no Abolitionist, and never have been
one. In common with every American patriot,
1 have deplored the existenccof slavery in our
country, and would rejoice to see any safe and
feasible remedy adopted, if such could be de
vised, to mitigate or to remove the evil. But I
would never give my sanction to any remedy
which would disregard the rights ot property
to the slave owner; which 1 consider as held un
der the same guarantees of the law and the
Constitution, that protect every other right of
property. I did not approve of any ot the
schemes which were proposed in the Legislature,
at the time the subject was under consideration
in that body; but, on the contrary, saw insupe
rable objections to all of them. The policy l
have favored, as both the most safe and practi
cable is that of the colonization scheme, which,
by gradually draining the country of its free co
lored population, and of slaves u ho should be
voluntarily manumitted bv their masters, would,
at the same time, promote the interests of the
slave-owners themselves, by removing a great
source of corruption and disaffection among
the slaves, and by keeping down the aggiegate
number of slaves, would place the problem of
an ultimate extinction of slavery, at some re
mote period of our future history, more within
the power of auspicious contingencies which the
course of events might present.”
“These are the views i nave always emn
ta;ned, and repeatedly expressed. They are,
as far as l can recollect, the views expressed by
mein mv correspondence with my friends, while
1 was in France. Alive as I was, during my
residence abroad, to every thing winch affect
ed the feelings and interests of my country, I
could not but be deeply moved by the horrid
catastrophe which occurred in Southampton,
in the summer of IS31 I saw that public atten
tion had been every where in our State, awa
kened to the great question which that event
had forced on the reflection of even the most
careless and unthinking. Under these circum
stances, 1 have no doubt that, in my communi
cations with my friends, I expressed in strong
terms, my sense of the evil of slavery in our
country, «nd an* anxious desire, if any remedy
for it could be devised, to see sotqe sale and
nrudent measure adopted to lessen, if not re
move it. 1 felt, at the same time, all the delica
cy and difficulty of the subject, which 1 well re
collect to have expressed, and to have declar
ed my conscious inability at the distance I was
from the scene of deliberation, and deprived of
anv interchange of opinion with others, to judge
-- what ought to be done. Mineral views, how
rjer were those which I Tiave stated- abovd
♦hev are the views I now entertain; and I feel
satisfied, that there was nothing either in my
lVtter to Mr. Ritchie, or to any qther of my cor
resoondents, inconsistent with the explanation
jSSgivwoftbo* views.”
JUDGE P. P. BARBOUR.
From the Richmond Whig.
To the Hon. P. P. Barbocr.—We are request
ed, by a correspondent, to propound two inter
rogatories to Judge Barbour, which he or any
authorized friend'is respectfully requested to
answer, as there appears a disposition to force
him into the present contest, as he was forced
out of one, two years ago, by the same par
ties.—Eds.
Will the Judge, or any authorized friend,
deny that he has said his letter on the right o
secession has been misconstrued, equivalent to
a denial of the right, as a peaceful constitution
al remedy in the dernier resort, and to an ad
mission, that it is only a revolutionary right
“ Will the Judge deny, that ne is, consequent
lv, a Proclamationist, and an advocate of the_
Force Bill and Protest? That he is in favoi of
the unwarrantable course of the Cover nment
in relation to the removal of the Public Depo
sites we know from his Patton dinner letter. I .
was taught to regard Judge Barbour as the
Magnus Apollo of Virginia principles, both the
oretically and practically; and his past course
with two exceptions, merited, as it leeeived, my j
highest admiration; but the times are sadly out
of^joint. It is to be hope I, however, his prin
ciples have not been cast in the crucible, and
become thoroughly Jacksonised; though. I must
confess, my fears predominate over my hopes.
“ A Lowlander.
From the Charlottesville Advocate.
Judge Barbour.-We hear that some friends ■
of the administration are chuckling n little, be- I
cause the committee of invitation for the Whig j
dinner at this place, have not published their j
correspondence with Judge Barbour. However ,
much the steady and devoted friends of Judge |
B. may have regretted that he should seem to
hesitate or falter at such a crisis as the present,
we know that this correspondence has been
withheld from no disposition to do injustice to
him, or to conceal his sentiments, but, on the
contrary, from motives of the utmost delicacy
and regard.
Mr. Ritchie ventured to hint some time since
that it was attempted by the Whigs in this quar
ter to claim Judge B. improperly. If he were
apprised of all the circumstances, or capable
of estimating the motives of honorable men,
whom he habitually calumniates, he would find
no cause for exultation in this instance. The
Whigs are not accustomed to claim any man,
whoVill not freely take up his cross with them,
or who is content in these times to occupy an
equivocal position. Tuey have taken their
stand on the last ramparts of the constitution,
and they abide the result of a fair, open and ho
norable struggle for the liberties of their coun
try—disdaining alike to he coaxed by the blan
dishments, or awed by the denunciations, of
power. They resort to no trick or chicanery
no clandestine subscription papers—no back
bitings noupnisrepresentations. Can Mr. Rit
chie sav as much for his party or himself?
By the !>v, this gentleman had better “ look
to his bond”—the deed of bargain and sale, ex
ecuted by him and endorsed by certain dignita
ries conveying Virginia to Martin \ an Buren
— it will he forfeited, and he will find the mercy
of the Kinderhooker not greallv exceeding that
of the obdurate Shylock —“ Let him look to
his bond”—his hollow professions of admiration
lor Judge B. will nev*»r cheat Virginia into the
support of “M. V. B.” The people understand
the game—and Judge B. himself, will duly ap
preciate the motives of the man who lately de
famed him. If we do not greatly mistake his
character, and have not been misinformed, he
will not be the “ locum teueus” of this tool of
taction, who has long since ceased to be “ruled
by conscience,” and
“ Who counts his honors from the stains he
bears.”
He will not be unmindful of the “ hinted slan
ders, and the whispered lies” with which tne
columns of the Enquirer teemed some two
years since, when a devoted little hand was
struggling for his advancement against the ma
chinations of the “ Baltimore Oonventionists,”
and “caucus republicans” and remembering,
he will likely be disposed, as John Randolph
was, to entreat this modern Mr. Surface, “ not
to undertake his defence.”^_
“INSTRUCTIONS” IN VIRGINIA.
From the Petersburg Intelligencer
We continue to receive the most gratifying
assurances that the attempt which lias recently
been made to reverse the recorded opinion of
the people, as expressed at the April elections,
will * most assuredly fail. In every instance
where the subject has been brought before a
' public meeting, the instruclionisls have been de
I feated. Io addition to the counties heretofore
■ noticed, in which this effort has proved abortive,
! we give below an account of a meeting held in
: Frrederick. The good sense of the people is
i exhibiting itself w herever they are permitted
to receive the lights of a public discussion of the
question at issue, and il the opponents of Mr.
| Leigh would consent to resort to that mode of
I ascertaining the popular will in the contested
! counties, the friends of that gentleman would
feel the utmost confidence in the result. On
one point, however they rest perfectly satisfied,
that if, by any possibility, the instructinnists
should succeed in every county where the at
tempt has been made, the opposition have it in
their power to control the votes of at least an
equal number of counties represented by Admin
istration Delegates.
We wish not to be misunders»ood on this sub
ject. We recognize the principle of instruction.
We agree with the sentiment expressed in the
following ariicle front the Abingdon Statesman,
that it is “ strictly democratic and in perfect uni
son with the theory of our institutions.*' Hut
we do object to the means employed to sustain
the present appeal to that inestimable privilege,
and we would look upon its success as pregnant
with danger to the best interests of the country,
by affording opportunities for tampering with
the people, by prolonging the settlement of every
important question, by undermining the public
confidence in the recorded opinions of the
constituency;” and by lessening the value, the
in p irtance, and the interest ofevery election.
It is not our purpose to go into a further dis
cussion of this question at present. It is our
object to present our readers with evidence that
the de enders of the Constitution front Execu
tive Encroachments have nothing to fear from
the presenreontest, and we are pleased to find
that this opinion is sustainexl by so able an ad
vocate of the ‘‘good cause” as the Abingdon
(Va.) Statesman.! The last number.of that pa
per^ays:
“ The work goes bravely on!”—This is the.
fa-KQrite phrase of Mr. Ritchie upon the subject
I of Instructions designed, t<\pTevent the re-elec
tion of Mr. Leigh to the United States Senate.
For our own part we are well satisfied with its
progress. In ntany of the Counties, in which
the attempt baa been made, the scheme has
vhollu failed. The friends of Mr. fclfw hatei
confident.y asserted their ability to carry out!
their plan of operations in "the counties ot Uin
widdie, Nottoway, Lunenburg, Brunswick and
Caroline. The effort however has been made,
and a defeat in each instance has as yet been
the result. Upon this subject we could g'f® ou£
Jackson friends a piece of advice by which, ti;
observed, they would certainly profit. I ne j
Whigs have it in their power, we verily believe,
to carry more votes by instructions, than tneir
opponents possibly can. If then, they be dri
ven to this dernier resort, the victory on tneir
part will be but the more triumphant, lo tne
principle of instruction, we do not urge ie
slightest objection. We recognize it as "tricMy
democratic, and as in perfect unison with the
theory of our Institutions. I he Representa
tive should reflect truly the w ill of Constituents*;
and in t lie approaching election of a Senator lor
this State, we sincerely hope, that the voice of
the majority may. as we believe it will, prevail.
But why attempt to change the votes ol a lew
individuals, when 4lie Whig Majority returned
to the next Legislature, cannot be materially in
fected? The question lias been once fairly de
cided by the people, at the Polls, and these busy
Revollrio.MZEits, limy rest assured tnatthe State
of Virginia, nevrr C'/a bn Van BnrPiiiZHfl.
A CUTTING LETTER.
/ From the U. S. Telegraph.
Washington City. 9th September, 1834.
Sir: Yours of the 25th ult., unci of Hie 4ili in* \

the rencounter between the Sen. Kdilor of the j
Wtiig and yourself, have both been received: i i
did not answer the first, because, “ under exist- j

an interrogatory to me, you should ht.ve dis-j

Do you not see the attitude in which you are
placed/ You are a private individual, who, it

are constantly engaged in writing anonymous
articles in the Richmond Enquirer, slanderous
ly assailing the Editor of the Richmond Whig
and myself On the occasion referred to, your
language was particularly offensive, both as to
him and myself, lie met you, and asked to
know, whether you were the author, you replied
by striking him with your umbrella, and lie re
joined tiy chastising you with his cane. A mu
tual friend of both w rote to me, and 1 published
an account ol the rencounter; and you, without
disavowing the offensive article, or vouchsafing
to say, that the account was exaggerated or er
roneous, demanded the name of the author.—
Pei mit me to tell you, Sir, that “ under existing
circumstances,” )ou have presumed rather too
much. J cannot suppose that P. V. Daniel, who
aspires to be Mr. Van Buren’s Grand Pacha in
Virginia, would condescend to solicit anything
I, om the EJitor of the Telegraph. If I am to un

that *• under existing circumstances,” Sir, it is
insolence in you to make it.

£3* Balloon Ascension.--At an udjourued
meeting of the Waul Committees, appointed un- -
der the second resolution adopted at a meeting
of ihe citizens of the District held on Friday,
the 8th ultimo, at theCiiy Hall, for the purpose
of promoting a second ascension of Mr. A>h, it
was determined, with the consent of Mr. Ash,
that hi'* ascension should take place on Tuesday,
the 16th instant, from the ground north of the
President's house, where an enclosure and suit
able accommodations will be erected for view* i
ing the interesting process of inflation.
The general desire which has been express
ed, that Mr. A«h should make a second ascen
sion. and the unmingled gratification derived
from his first aerial flight, which was made at
great pecuniary sacrifice to himself, induce the
Committees to believe that Mr. Ash’s prompt
compliance with the wishes of the citizens oftlie
District will be rewarded with such a support
from them, as will amply defray any expense
which he may incur in yielding to their request.
The price of tickets has been placed at the
low sum of50 cents, and it is hoped and believ
ed that the citizens of the District will not be
content with being entertained at the expense of
the aeronaut, hut that every one will come for
ward and unite in a contribution which the
Committee trusts will lie creditable to the District,
and which is a matter of justice to Mr. Ash.

PAGAmm.
From the London Correspondent of the U. S.Oaz.
The disposition of-the critics on the fine arts
to deal in vague and extravagant descriptions
has never been more abundantly manifested,
than In the marvellous accounts of the perform
ances of Paganini on the violin. According to
these wonder-making gentlemen, the whole af
fair of his fiddle playing is a very supernatural
sort of business. They say that he sets his au
ditors laughing or crying, just as he pleases;
that he imitates, at will, hall a dozen other in
struments; that he draws forth tones, wholly un
like all other sounds, and most wonderlully con
founding all known laws of acoustics; that he
sometimes produces on one string more acute
tones by moving the hand towards the nut, and
graver ones, by shifting it towards the bridge;
that is, on the same string, remaining at the;
same degree of tension, that he makes more j
acute sounds by lengthening, and graver ones j
by shorteningthe vibrating portion of the string. I
Certainly his playing is most admirable; but j
the only wonderful tilings about it are the facts j
that thousands of gaping listeners have been
persuaded to believe in the ridiculous nonsense
which has been published of him; and that he j
has thus made a vast deal more money out of
the English aristocracy, than if they had posses
sed knowledge and taste in music, sufficient to
appreciate those excellencies which make him
perhaps the finest violinist in the world.
He comes out in front of every object on the ;
stage to face the audience, without music, or
music stand, about him; two things not in the |
least needed by a man who always plays his ■
own compositions, which have generally been |
studied for years. I was very much struck with
his manner of holding the instrument, and with
his attitude, both ol which were singularly good,
instead of being at all grotesque or aw kward,
according to the critics. The left elbow was
thrown well forward upon his chest, the neck of
the violin inclining so far to the left as to allow
the most unrestrained motion of the bow? arm,
which he threw about as freely as if a riding
switch had been in his hand, in place of a vio
un dow.
As to his playing, it is really so delightful,
that, after hearing him, one can readily believe
him to be the first performer that has ever touch
ed the instrument, But there is not the slight
est mystery as to the manner in which he pro
duces his effects. He does not use one single
power of the instrument which has not been
heard in every civilized country. The differ
ence between other violinists and himself lies
in the fact, that they have various degrees of
command over some of the powers of the in
strument, and a boggling execution in others;
whereas lie has perfect command of all. What
ever can be done on the violin, he can do, ami
do with the easiest and most finished execution,
guided in him by a cultivated and extremely re
fined taste.
His fingering is rapid and easy to the great
est possible degree, and always with surety and
a perfectly true intonation; especially towards
the bridge, which he sometimes appears almost
to touch. There is, apparently, no difference
in the facility with w hich he fingers the chroma
tic and diotonic scales, whether in succes-ions
of single or double notes. For example, lie
played a run of chromatic thirds w ith great ra
pidity, and swelled the passage. This w as exe
cuted, beyond doubt, by fixing the position of
two fingers for the chord, and then moving the
hand through the half tone intervals by nerv
ous skips, as passages are often played in the
key of C, on the piano.
One of the things which seemed to excite the
liveliest admiration, in the fashionable portion
of the audience, was a pretty long passage, in
which were heard alternately, one tone produc
ed by the bow, and another by plucking the
spring with a finger of the left hand. Many fid
dlers in Italy and Spain do this sort of imitation
of the dry guitar and violin answering each
other; but doubtless they do not execute it with
so much rapidity and elegance as Paganini. It
is, to my taste, very little better than a trick;
and 1 am sure that, even as it is performed by
him, one would soon becom" tired of it.
Of his bow ing I can say with an admiring
Musician that it is glorious. And by the way,
I cannot help adding that 1 like the glory of a
fiddle bow a great deal better than the sword’s
glory; which has not only covered the world
with human blood, and tilled it with misery in
all age-; but it has entailed upon man nearly
all the political arid social evils under which he
now suffers. Buffo Signoia Paganini. No
thing can exceed the clearness and liquid
smoothness of the tones of his violin front the
flowing bow; 'he volume of s mnd | erpetualiy
swelling and diminishing. This flowing bow,
as it is called, or the drawing of the how down
or up while the fingers change upon the string,
is the simplest action in the art of playing; but
it is by it that the greatest performers produce
the very highest and the most delightful effects
of the violin. It is through the management
by the bow of the different degrees of intensity
and volume of tone, to use the language of mu
sicians, that the soul of a passage is expressed.
And it is in this, more than in any thing else,
that Paganini’s true excellence lies.
In the staccato passages, no gritting is heard;
they are almost as clear and smooth as his slur
red ones. There is u very slight staccato, not
produced by detaching the how front the
strings, hut by a kind of nervous jetting or
succession of distinct impulses, which is at
tempted by fiddlers generally, in a manner that
excites a very lively torment. Paganini makes
it definite, smooth and really beautiful. But he
employs every degree of staccato, from this to
that produced by almost throwing the bow at
the strings. He seldom resorts, however, to
such rough touching of the strings, except to
make one loud tone, as a mark amidst the din
of the orchestra; although, when he did so, at
the concerts I attended, the audience seemed
to admire hugely this violent contact of bow
and fiddle.
The concrete slide, (running the finger up or
dow n the strings w Idle the how keeps up their
vibration.) is occasionally used, through short
intervals, hy all violinists; but Paganini carries
it through long intervals, and repeats it so as
absolutely to make passages om of it. Some
times he employs it on two strings, fingered in
thirds; but I am not certain that it is agreeable,
even with the help thus of chords. One thing
however, is very certain—that it is the very ea
siest thing ever done upon the violin.
The p« rfection with which he produces and
manages the harmonic tones, is one of the great
excellencies ol his playing. These tones of his
violin are always, even when made nearest the J
bridge, decided, strong, and of course, liquid
as it is possible to make sounds.
It would be fnrccal to attempt giving his style
a place in the common classification of styles;
for Ids combines the distinguishing parts of most
others. He is marked, much to my pleasure
and. surprise, very little with oddities; indeed
one having any knowledge of music, must be
chiefly impressed by his perfect execution, and
the manifestation of the most refined, at the
same lime tmconfined taste. At a strong proof
of the elevation of his taste, tie seldom resorts
to a shake, although he could eclipse every one
else in' it; and in England, nothing in music
can properly be said to be adored—except a
shake.
Paganini is said to have considerable learn,
ingin music, which 1 suppose is true; as he al
ways plays his own compositions, and arranges
the orchestral parts Inmsell. The pieces I heard
him play were not remarkable, however, lor
their originality or great beauiy; still 1 never
received half so much pleasure from any other
violin.
He is now between fifty and sixty years old;
rather tall and thin, erect in his carriage, dres
ses in black, has a dark skin, a large face, a
big nose and long black hair, carlessly worn
over his ears. Indeed he is a very common de
cent kind of man in his appearance, notwithstan
ding his figure and countenance have come in
for their share of the mysterious—the critics re
presenting him to lie quite an unearthly looking
old fellow. When Isaw him, instead of hav
ing any thing unearthly in his countenance, or
of appearing to despise his ciowded audience,
he seemed extremely gratified with Ilnur mini
hers and ticket! with the applause bestowed up
on him; smiling with a very good yruce. and
making many very creditable bows. At all
events, his good looks, his agreeable ways. Ins
big purse, or bis fine playing, or altogether, cap
tivated the heart of a beautiful young singer in
London; who lately runaway to meet him in
France and be wedded; when her lather man
aged to arrive hefoie her at the rendezvous, and
bring her weeping back to England. It is said
this this event will make her fortune on the En
glish stage. What a lucky girl! and what a hap
