[Culiawba Tress. HON. WILLIAM LOWNDES. The demise of this amiable, excellent and great man is a cause ol general regret to the American nation. The Southern papers furnish the following notices of hi* character, worth and services. In relation to their justice and truth, there can, we thiuli, be but one opinion entertained. From the ,\'nt. Intelligencer. An arrival at Charleston, in a short pas sage from Liverpool, brings the meiancho i\ intelligence of the decease of the Honor able WILLIAM LOWNDES, of South Carolina. He died at sea, o" the S7th of November, being on his way to Europe, whither he had been advised by his phy sicians to go, as a last hope of benofttting his health. Mr. Lowndes was about 40 years of age: and the distinguished part he, had acted in the couucil.s of his coun try, during the eventful scenes of the last twelve years, had made him universally known to his countrymen is one of their most enlightened and virtuous fellow-citi zens. It is not for us to pronounce tin eulogy of this excellent public servant; hut to speak ofjiim, as vve kueiv him, is a tri bute which vve ought not to withhold.— The surest test and most honorable prool of his surpassing merit, Was the respect which, duiing the most, acrimonious peri oils, was rendered to him in the House of Representatives, and the undisputed influ ence. he possessed in that body. To the cndowmvutu unti acquirements of an ac romplished statesmen, he united private worth, as rare as it was estimable. Mild and modest, he was frank without rude lira*—zealous without ohtrusiveuess and his invariable candor always so tempered with Jp'lithuiess, that lie could not, with these qualities, fsil to win the vstiS'in of all with whom he acted, and rivet the in fliw'nce which liis talents commanded.— We do mil believe, indeed, that amongst tin-many aide and excellent men tu whom this nation, during its short history, lias gi ven birth, there Inis been one, who at so early an ages had acquired a reputation for the united cxcellrWrie* of profound talents, of disinterestedness, and purity H charac ter, equal to that which adorned the mime ul iViii.isM I.owMirs. ritm the hnrlmlon Cmmrr. He was mild, nnobtrusive, and m modes ty so unequalled, that he would have relin ked while living, the faintest expression of praise. Hot the dead are beyond the reach of' (littery, and without the means of pa tronage.—The |i\ mg always need ol ample* of virtue anil incentives to grati tude. Air. Low sin was a good man. He li red for tin1 happiness of those around him, and was so fui tuuute as to enclose a grate ful cuonliy in the circle of In- affections. The nation hecatne Ills familiar and his household t>od. lie was an amiable man. The integrity of Ins heart appeared in the swoctness of his disposition, and the calm serenity of his manners alloyed asperity wherever it en countered it. lie was an honorable man who sought honor in the paths of uhcI’uIiichs. lie was a wise mail, of whom at a long interval from those grey hairs which designate age and wisdom, a strict pro pricty of thought, speech and action, might in an extraordinary degrei be pu ll icated. lie was a great man. Wisdom and vir tu* gave him a mitral and political power, which he rendered Hiibscrvieiil to the hap piness and honor of his country. W illt the last ten years til nur political history, Itis labors, his talents, his hopes and Ins life, were intimalely connected. Ilis anxious exertions at Washington, re sulted in the malady which has taken hint away. lie was a Statesman, who cherished the Union of these States with affectionate ar dor—loved the Navy and the Army, and promoted ab the salutary and stable deten te* of the Hepnhlie. The Legislature of South-Carolina, with a fonditcjvs of heart which indicated their warm reliance in his patriotism and talents, placed him, w ithout his knowledge, in on mutation for the Presidency. Il matters little to enquire now, vv illt what dignity and Miudcration, with vvliat justice ami impar tiality, with what purity and patriotism he might have presided over our tialioiinl in terests. No one will now say, that the Slati', which he honored, wav premature in decking his fading temples with the wrath nl affectionate praise. On earth he is removed from the power ol usefulness, from the councils which he eilightened, from the life which lie adorn ed day Ins mild and benevolent spirit still linger among us may il dissipate lio licit error and subdue angry contention, m l In rtn uiis-c opposing intcri'vls so it nur country may benefit by bis example, as it lias by Ins lilt—and we may appear gratefully to appreciate vvliat we, have en joyed, ami what we have lost. I'rum tlir ('htu'IPStoH ('itif 11 h'. To depict Air. Lowndes’ character, were, needless to those who knew his excel lence In speak nl Ills statesmanlike and comprehensive views, would he only to repeat the universal sentiment. Ilis opin ions, we are told, Were generally received at Washington, as “words of wisdom'' and such was tin1 reverence with which those vv nils were listened In, that 'men conceived Ins speeches on impnrtafd sub jects, a* tantamount In a decision. Not that his form, his countenance, and voice, were the weapons 111 for oraloiy. Ills in s'liiiueuts for conviction were of more ce lestial mould—the powers of a'capacious and profound mind—a mind of truly phi losophical construction, and stored with knowledge from both hemispheres. As sociation of ideas, with Mr. Lowndes, was rather an intellectual //nicer than a /mbit his recollections did not come and go, but were commanded and dismissed by a per v adiug and despotic judgment, f aim and iiiintlllcd amidst the storms of debate, the love of his country could irtouf roiKo him into declamation, nr bend him into pathos. When he was shaken thus, his power was irresistible. An example of the forme r occurred, when the victory of Lake Erie came upon him with all it- brilliancy he rose under its inspiration, and electrified the house with unexpected and triumphant eloquence. Tim fearful Missouri question furnished an example of the latter. Air. Lowndes, presented that q ie tinn in a light w hit'll made fni.n shuddt r at the. pre cipice o iiicii they had d aw u their coun try. Tears were shed, and silence and conviction followed. tire.it and idiinabln man! It is not Car olina alone that mourns tliy loss; the whole republic feels and thy ineiiloty -hall he embalmed in tin* affections of thy coun I rytnen. And she invoke, and found ’twra* all a dream.” Old Song. A Mr. Chastine Clark, of Richmond, ns the story goes, took it into his he.id to dream that £'.M!l, would draw the 5100,000, fi accordingly scoured the country round, heat up among the Lottery Offices, when most luckily, as theseipiel prov ed, lie found and purchased the tick*t, and hu* drawn the high prize, lie may exclaim with Iviog Richard, Why now my golden dream Is out.” After this we shall hear of countless num heis purchased on the Initil a dieuin, and money spent tin airy visions. In Knglaud, it is common to insure num hers, and one loving husband insured upon his wife’s name, which according to the letters was 7040j hut without effect. He filially took to another number, and w as e iplally unsuccessful. When I gave tip in suring my wife, said he,” a coal heaver insured her and she come up t all my had luck. [.V. y.
