I’OIt TIIE SPECTATOR.

BIG GUNS SPIKED.

Mr. Smart, in liis speech at tho Ahgnst Court, trad the letters ol Gen. Washington to Eincoln and llarrimm, Injuring date <Jili and 11tit of March, l/Sil, in which he unqualifiedly slated that “l.e had determined, should it bo his inevitable fate to J occupy tho Presidential Chair, to go into it free Iroiu any pre-existing engagement of any nature | %oluitsoi verin order to show that (Jen. Taylor now occupies the same platform erected by III© Fa- ther of his Country.

Air. Rives, after consultation with tho Hon. An- j drew Stevenson and Mr. John I.etcher, arose from liis seat and “with a great flourish of trumpets” j expressed his Yegtet that Mr. Stuart had beert com-

pelled to leave, (that gentleman having left inline dialely after closing his speech for an adjoining conn- 1

ty on urgent professional business.) as it would he 1

necessary to notice some of his remarks in a way that might bo regarded unfair, and not very pleasant cither to himself or his friends, lie then referred to tho Jutes of the letters above alluded to, being of thc'Jth and 1 Ithof March, 1780.several dnys.as Mr. Rives said, after the iiuiw^urulion of Washington, and therefore there can be no similarity between the position of Taylor and Washington. He more-- t»V6r thought the letters were calculated to mislead the people, and in conseipienco ought not to la* used.

After Mr. Rives had concluded liis speech. Mr. Jartirs B. Dorman, the youthful and talented Elec- tor of Rockbridge county, took the stand and re-

plied to Mr. Hives by asking if it was left for him, an obsemo and huinhln individual, to inform these distinguished gentlemen, who had occupied high yitblic stations both at Innne and abroad—M,r. Sic- I

tbenson, Ex-minister at tlio Court of St. .lames, Ir. Francis E. Rives, Ex-member of Congress, and Mr. John Lotchor, Elector of the Rockbridge Electoral District, that Gen. Washington was nut

inaugurated until the 30th of April, 1780,—that the letters must ha Ve been Written upwards of a I sYiohth prior to that event, and gave as liis authori- ty tho Statesman’s Manual, and repelled the in- ! Vdhuatioh of impropriety in using those letters.— The s'liuctdcut of the young orator was hailed by a ! shout that went up from tho immense concourse of people, which shook the Court house to its centre, I nod created such a crtntmhtion and fluttering among •the Cassites as has not, I Vent iff n to assert, been i witnessed in the State since the opening of the •campaign.

1 lie next morning, Mr. Rives, after having lmcn :

closeted during the night with his distinguished j friends, came into the Court-house, his arms full •of books, and “a look like late,” fully prepared to I shift bis position, lor lie proceeded to show from ojark s life ami writings of Washington, States- I

‘man's Manual, aid another work, that the letters in question were written, not as before, after the inauguration, but of ter the election if Gen. flash 1 ington, a fact which no one denied.

To that position of the gentleman, Mr. Dorman replied In- a statement of foots, and quoting Gen. Washington’s (leclaration,that ‘-he had determined, should it bo his inevitable fate to occupy the Presi- dential Chair, to go into it free from any pro existing •engagement of any nature whatsoeverasked if the gentleman would dare to insinuate that George AN ashington’s answer would have been different if it had been pennt d prior to his election. Mr. Rives was mum.

Wo the Common Council of Staunton: Gents—I wish to suggest to you the propriety of Establishing better regulations St the Market

“For myself, I shall cast my suffrage for (Jen.

'"»ny tender ties have been broken to which mauv “[*•' ll,u?t1 r> spoud, for many years to come. While to those of her immediate kindred, no written memorial is needed to perpetuate her memory, a regard to others or her acquaintance and friends, may well demand n brief expression ol her worth Of the latter, many both in her early, as well as her later places of residence, still remain to revert with fondness to the interchange ol their endeared associations with her. To them all

ns evinced almost with her dying breath, she cherished recollections at Once so deep and tender. Hint no bodily pain, nor even the near approach of death itself, could

‘.'vi” '? ,ur heaving bosom. The place of her birth, ( W inchester, \ a.,) together with that of her youthful days, (Staunton, o| the same State,) were both endeared to her hy man v pleasing reminiscences— the latter peculiarly so, by her union in marriage, and lyunion there also, with the Church of the faithful lit V.TtflSt JCMIS.

the former, her name from being that of Sally V l‘,zoll« " !,s changed to that of McIntosh, hy her mar- nag.; with Dr. George Grant McIntosh, an eminent Scotch physician, educated at Kdinburgh, and indue,., to emigrate to America by his medical class-mate and friend, the late l)r. Samuci Brown.

By flic lulln-. she became united with the Presbyte- rian Church at Staunton, to which, till her death, she clung with all the verdant freshness of a “first love to hrLt and his people. Left a widow with two children, while the youngest /Matilda,) Was too young o feel that she was fatherless, she eventually, upon the marriage ol tint only daughter will, Mr. S. I) Mor- gan, our worthy townsman, first resided with them, during many pleasant years at Huntsville, Ala., and more recently, for a like term, and with like happi- ness, in this city. 11

ller last illncSs, though protracted through a Ion- pg- r.od ol great bodily sulK-ring. was home without a .iiur- m"V- Am,ds* al1 «* iryin- demands on her faith and patience, one uniform reliance on the grace and mercy ol God, was habitually manifested in her speech and be- haviour. riiankfiilness filled her heart for the t-irr,.itn- stances of support and comfort with which she was con- tinually surrounded. Thankfulness, first of all to God and then to the beloved relatives hy whom she vn so assiduously and alfcctionatoly attended. Gratitude, in- deed. was one of the crowning virtues of her kind and faithful heart; and it never ceased to be revealed, not only to her immediate kindred—than whom no mother, or mother-m-law, or grand-mother, was ever more richly blessed than she, in all those endearing relations — hut likewise to (lie many dear Irieii.ls, includin- her physician and pastor, who all felt it to be a great privi- lege to minister to her aid and comfort in those sinking day s and nights of suffering preceding her descent to the silence and solitude of the -rave.

She rests from her labors and her stifle rings, and her Works do follow her “high in salvation and the climes of bliss.” j.. [Christian (Nashville Tenn.) Krmui.
