But lie, the daring student, miraculously escapes from sudden death ! . . . Regardless of the peril past, he gazes lor It moment upon the fallen support below, and Svithout emotion, calmly says?"It set m/ m;/ purpose /" . . . That youth is Joseph Warfen. * * * ? ft * ? % JVarrcn was born at Roxbury. Mas.-., in the j year 1740. llis early years afforded some premise' of his future usefulness lie was known to ,bc a remarkably courageous and manly lad, frank in manners, anil of quick parts. Possessing ? spirit generous and entliti^ siastic, lie was i1K3krpe11de.il', fearless, and persevering. In the year 17-55, we find Joseph Warren a student at Harvard University - tin hero in the little episode to which we have adverted. Graduating in 1759, he three years after commenced the practice of medicine, in which profession he soon attained eminence. Dr. Warren is found among the very earliest supporters of the colonies against the tv- ! rannics and exactions of the Uiitish crow n?j with Otis, Adams, and Hancock, resolved to | "dare and do" everything for the cause of his cGulTtrv. From his superior abilities and charactor, vc see him associated, and in'close con, fore nee with the leading patriots of Massachusetts, devising means, and maturing plans and measures to organize a systematic resistance to the mother country. . . Dr. Warren was without doubt one cl the boldest, most zealous and determined opponents of the crown. His | fluency in speech, together with his talents as a writer, could not but give him a distinguished and marked ascendancy in the public councils of the colonies. At a time, too, when the best capacities were demanded, it is not surprising that, though a young man. Warren was a prominent one among the patriots of the devolution. . . On many and any important occasions, his superior abilities were brought into requisition. From the year of the "Stamp Art" to the commencement of the war, Warren gave ample evidence ol his devotion to the cause of liberty. While many were waveriig, and in doubt as to their proper course?hesitating as to the adoption of means suited to the exigency?while not a few, even among the avowed adherents to the cause of the colonies, were timid and vacilating?fearing to fully commit themselves to a policy of uncompromising resistance to the crown, Warren failed not to take his stand, fearlessly, resolutely, and unalterably for the Colonies, and contended, .with voice and pen, against wcrv.-tbrm of taxation, external or internal, declaring such to he oppression and tyranny demanding resistance, and at the same time expressing his conviction 1 that the < 'ohmics were aide to defend themselves and their rights successfully. From the year 17(58, we find Warren ?-leading member of the "3"oret Caucus." an organization which wrought an incalculable iulhienrc ! on the concerns of tile country. Who can tell I us whether this "Gamuts" had not its hirtli-' place among those patnptic students, meeting ! in concave ten years before, in that little room j in old Harvard? Would we not like to hear the "resolve*-" and doings of Warren and his colleagues on that eventful summer night, when at the greatest possible risk of his life, he joined them in tliv'r "Secret Caucus ?"? Warren, with all his boldness, was yet circumspect and pin<lent. In the "Caucus," plans! Were matured for the tl < ?/ l/ic ten in Boston harbor?Warren, of course, being a liioug uio sicrn counsellors, -ai wnose bu^.'csJions that bold, vet exemplary and popular movement was efleeted. _ Dr. W arren was twice chosen the public oravnr on the anniversary of the Massacre, ami his ort'timis breathed the encrgv of a great ami commanding .spirit. It wa-v Warren who, on the eve ofu'c J-attle of Lexington, ohtained iiiforiuation 01 the intended expedition against Concord, ancf at Jen o'clock at night, despatched the oxptessto Turncock ami Adams, ;< warn ikciil of tin ir danger. Warren himself, on the next tiaV? tlie ever-meltinrahle nineteenth of Aprii, w;w very active, and according to O'cnerai Heath's iiceount, made a very narrow escape, a musket-b/d1' tarrying away pait of his ear-lock. in the'confused state of t!id army then assembled at Cambridge, Warren h:'d a vast influence in preserving order aniong ti.'"- iroops. iiauco k 11.id departed to take his seat ill the Continental Congress, and Warren succeeded hiu. as i >-Cd- it ot the Provincial Congress, j imur ..ays previous to the conflict at ihinkcr II ii, lie received a commission as Major-Con- i crab V\ lien liio entrenchments were made,: to encourage tile men within- the lines, War- j rott-(their several,miles away1 from the spot)* i'wiiJOfiml.

M ISCELXaA N EO US. Tilt* Course Lincoln will Pursue. We subjoin the following outlineofthe course that it is supposed Lincoln will pursue, in case lie becomes our next J'resident. Tim sketch is from the New York Ilcraltl. Aftei showing that it is the settled purpose of Lincoln and Ins party to urge on the "irrepressible eoiifiict." that paper presents the billowing as the mild plan that is liest to he tried. It says : The first step will be the appointment to every post of executive or administrative power, within the gift of the 1'resident, of men who believe that slavery is an evil and a sin ; that it is their moral and social, as well as political duty, to make war upon it in every wa\ ; that "this Union cannot stand liaifslave and half free;" and that William Lloyd Garrison, Wen dell J'hilips ami John Brown lire right in tlic theories tliev have proclaimed and the policy they have advocated. With' men holding tliesi vii ws as judges and officers of the federal courts, as postmasters and collectors of customs, as district attorneys and marshals of the United States, there will commence an agitation of the slavery question such as the world has never witnessed. Federal oflieers mav re Train from immediate' participation in criminal acts, but tin; a I?I net or.- oi slavo. the fomcutors nt senile incendiarism, and the coining John Drowns, will pursue their iniquitous labors, in the full confidence that, if arrested and brought to trial, it will be by marshals, prosecuting attorneys, juries and judges that sympathize with them, a> d who believe that the cause in which they are engaged is the cause of righteousness. N The effect of this fact alone upon the spirit of fanatic abolitionism in the country will produce the most disastrous results. Dive the criminal but the confidence that men of this stamp will sit as judges over him, if anested, and crime will at once become the audacious ruler of society. So will it be with the "irrepressible conflict." Thf underground railroad will be brought to the light of day; the stealing of slaves will become a trade of which thousands will be opcniy vain ; heroism in the act wjil be worshipped, and not alone Virginia, bill every Southern State, will have to record it'-John Drown raids; and the abolition promptings to incendiarism now seen in Texas will be Witnessed in every sieve Statu from the Delaware to liu- Dio uratide, and from the Uhio to the Unit oi eiexco. in such a statu of things there wi;l be no need to iise the army and navy of the L lined States to sunt if ess or extinguish slavery ; it will oiiiy I'O necessary to defeat its employment to suppress factions and incendiarism. in such a state of tilings parties will be driven to ti.e Iiigliest pitch of excitement, acts of fury will l*> perpetrated on ail sides, and day by day the whole country will recede farther and tartlier from the rule of reason. f ESogK.
