' willingly to this decree, and would to the utmost defend it against foreign invnsion. He also said in relation to the Oregon 'question, that he was anxious that the boundary line should ba settled, and that he would go as far as any good democrat to defend every inch of our own Territorial limit3. Iledidnot attempt to designate the line, but the Spanish tillo was added to us in the Florida cession, and the Span ish title was the original one. Jle snid he was in favor of appropriating a part of the public domain to internal improvements. Particularly for the im provement of the navigation of Pearl, Leaf, and Chickasawhay riversroe erection of light houses onthe gulf coast, the enlarge ment of the Navy, and the completion of the Rail-Road from Brandon to the Ala bama Line. All these improvements would greatly enhance the value of the land in East Mississippi, add to our na tional wealth, and agricultural interests and be the means of National Defence which we had bitter prepare for as England .was jealous of otir growing commercial interest. Although England was silent, yet thero were manifestations of such jeal ousy in many recent debates iu parliament. England can not bear rivalry. (Here Mr. Tompkins dwelt with emphasis.) These were die great public measures which alone have kept up the distinctions of par ty and all of them he proves to be mea sures upon which the good of both'parties very nearly or miite agree. It is impos sible forme to condense in any thing like a comprehensive shape the speech of Mr. Tomkins. I have hardly hinted at it. Yours Truly, A WHIG. September 3, 1815. we denominate them? who oppose their coudtry when battling in the holy caqse of truth, justice, and liberty. But we apprehend no evil consequences from the spirit we speak of It may even be made productive of good results. The Greeks used to instil precepts of sobriety in the minds of their children by showing tnem their slaves when drunk, The re pugnance which a well regulated mind feels at what is detestable, is perhaps as fruitful of moral results as the admiration it yields to virtuous deeds. And perhaps the general patriotism may receive a stim ulus from the few instances to be found of a want of it. N. O. Jtfftrsonian. . The United States And Mexico. -la reference to the rumor that Lieut. Ring gold had been dispatched ns a special mess enger from the Department to G;n. Tay lor to warn him not to cross the Nueces, the Washington eorrcsponJcnt ofthe Charles ton Mercury: ' On the contrary, I have ve ry good reason to believe that the adminis tration will not recede one foot from the Rio del Norte, the river which Henry Clay in his first anti-annexation letter said was the boundary ot Texas, which was a part ofthe purchnso of Louisiana. If Mexico choose to declare war, becauso Texas, ai independent nation chooses to enter our confederacy, why the must take the conse quences; which possibly mnybe.and I hope probably will be the adoption of a line runn ing somewherenhout th23th d-greeoflat-itude from the Gulfof. Mexico to the Gulf of California as our Southern boundary ilr the present." 1VM.. ...I I i...... - (i U.JU1L- eiiwmsiasm is evinced by tho great miss of our people in the cause of ; their country while the war sniritofTG ; and having revived, is entering into I the breasts of men of all ages and conditions i of life, there are nevertheless a recreant few, vho, false to the noble impulses which RTW with tho growth and strengthen with the strength of every true American, look with a jaundiced and alien eye upon every , step which is taken, to resent the ai roganco and resist the threatened encroachments of Mexico. The present ttatecf things is one well calculated to arouse feelings of patriot ism wherever they can be found; and we only account for tho unatural course ofthe few we speak of, in their total want of a vir tue which is snid to bo the last that Ipvm degraded human nature. These narrow .souled individuals see nothing in the war like movements now going on that can a waken a spark of sympathythat does not, on the contrary, furnish cause for objection and condemnation. With perceptions sharpened by an unnatural hostility to their country, its rights, its honor, and its interests, there is nothing, however trivia!, having auy connection with the impending uiojciiuy wiui xuexico, mat escapes their niter censorsnips. Like birds of evil o- men, they go from corner to corner, croak ing forth their dissatisfaction, and in a pint more ol hope than of prophesy, antic ipating for our gallant friends and acquain tances now about departing, an expedition of merited disaster and defeat! They deny that there is the slightest probability of juexicoa declaring war against us, al though they maintain she has just caiise, in our despoiling her of her"departmcnrof Texas. They consider the arJor evinced by ourcitizens, in responding to theircoun try'ca!!,s exceedingly vain and ridiculous, and denounce the government and its offi cers for calling such feelings into action. They accuse ihe administration of an ill concealed desire to embark in a war of con quest egainit Mexico, and will not admit that it seeks but to defend its own territory against in va?ion. Not a dollar is expeud ed, too, that docs not extort a groan from these individuals, at what they term the wasteful extravagance of the Government agents. In fact, they are so much against the popular feeling regarding our difficul ties with Mexico, that to ndd any things more to the intensity of their hostility! they must take up arms on tne side of that ; power. They will not carry their opposi , tionthal far, however; their rense of justice ? perverted as it is, still is a feeling stronger than their courage; ihey will rest satisfied I with the liberty their country vouchsafes I them, and confine their hostility to words. Can it be possible that the land of a Washington, a Franklin, a Jefferson, and a Jacks jo, can bare given birth to beings so inseciitle to every crcrllirg senti ment so recreant to the main attributes rt a freeman an American freeman. Happily there are but few ofthe class we peak of will mmih la attract notice and j'l for the condemn stion they deserve. The patriot's sword atd hfa are always at '.eservice of bra country, nor does he tea 13 canvass the merits cf her cause. Our readers may remember a statement published some weeks since of a wild negro having been seen in the parish of Caddo, in this State-The last number of the Caddo Gazettecontains a lonarticle from the pen of Mr. J. M. Piece of that Parish, descrip tive of his successful attempt to catch this nondescript, and of several of his physical peculiarities. TheEditorof the Gazette declares that the creature possesses an ap pendage which Dr. Piece omitted to men tion, viz: a tail about three inches long, with hair on it. If this be so the idea of its belonging to the Genus homo must be a bandoned, unless some acute philosopher should prove that Lord Monboddo's theo ry of men being originally monkeys furn lihed with tails, is true, and that the ani mal in question, is a specimen of Lord ATonbod-do's idea of primitive humanity. It appears from the account given by Dr. Piece, that he in company with Mr. Perry, proceeded towards the haunts ofthe creature, which he tracked by means of a pack of hounds. After runningsome time they beheld a creature coursing along at great speed, and resembling a bear rather than a man. Dr. Piece got within ten paces of him and commanded him to stop, but instead of pausing he took to a river. He was still pursued by the party, which finally arrived at a very thick cane break, in the midst of which was a large gum tree, with a hole just large enough for a person to squeeze in. "I looked in, ' says Dr. Piece, "and could see the singular be ing squatted in one corner of the hollow and looking more like a bpar than a hu man being." It being almost night, they concluded to wait until morning. At brink of day, they commenced cutting and succeeded in making a hole largo enough to g t him out. He was ferocious and indornitable.'filiting with fury anJ was only subduid by a rope be iiiij thrown around his neck nn 1 tight' nod until his respiration was almost checked, lie was finally ?ecuredand taken to Dr. Piece's house, wnrre ne can he sern. Na doutt, a 1 Is the Doctor, he is one of those negrors tint .ha? by some in.-ans strayed off whin small, and it is the opinion of Mr. CafTrcy that he came there when a child or perhaps born then1; as thero were two skeletons in the hollow of the tree, supposed to be the father and mother of ihe man we caught, lie appears to oenuy years el d, uitiis one hundred -and thirty pounds, and will eat nothing but raw meat, and that which is tainted he likes beet.

His captor further states his intention to take this negro or monster to the North and dispose- of him to the Abolitionist. He has become ex tremely troublesome and unovcrnat le. and Dr. Piece declares that if he cannot rliimoseof nun, wui oe. ouiigea to Mil mm in geii-ac fonce, or turn him loose. AI O. liec. Alexander G.

M MOORE, the man who tho law designates my husband, regard less ofthe sacred obligations which rest tip pon a husband, has published to the world that I have, "without any just provocation, left his bed and board." When I state to the public, that he has not allowed me for the last two months to occupy his bed: and as to his board, for the last six months it has been mush and milk. When he re fused me a part of his bed, I was forced to rest my weary body at night upon a hard pallet on a rough board floor. If I had no other cause, surely this of itself would be a just provocation tor quiting his house and seeking protection under the roof of strangers. Dut my neighbors know and can state to all such persons as fake an in terest in our dispute, that M. Moore and his family, since my connection with them, has treated mc like a slave, rather than like a wife and step mother. Regardless ofhis vilo publications and false state ments, I shall never seek again protection under his roof, nor do I apprehend that my friends have much to fear from his suits at law, or bravado, for ho who would with out "just provocation, " lay violent hands upon a helpless woman, i3 a consummate coward, from whom, no man who claims a place in society, has aught to fear.
