Among tho oommeroiul sea-towns of Hol land, six centuries ago, Stavorcn held tho first place. Thc ships of its merchants cov ered tho seas, and imported thc productions of ull sones. Such on extensive commerce r used tho wealth of this town to a hitherto unkown oxtont. It is truo that there were hore, ?.s olsowhero, many poor, but tho wealthy vastly outnumbered them.1 High lifo, luxury and magnificence, tho usual companions of great riches, prevailed, for in foolish prido and ruinous zeal each citizen tried to outvie the other in pomp, splendor and extravagant banquets. Tradition relates that thcro were tnany houses which equalled palaces in their grandeur. They were constructed of marble, tho interior ornamented with the most artistic decorations, covered with tho richest tapes tries, provided with thc rarest furniture, thc doors bound with tho most precious metals instead of iron. But of all tho Stavorcn merchants none could compare in riches with tho virgin Bich berta. The success with which each of her sp?culations was reworded, and not seldom with unexpected profits, seemed to show to hor whit degree fortune could lavish ber gifts on a mortal, and how long allow her favors to be enjoyed. Tho commercial fioot of tho virgin mer chat visited tho remotest seas, and not only returned each time with tho richest profits, but loaded with tho most expensive wares, with ornaments of diamonds, pearls and pre cious stones, which wore employed in the palace of their mistress and shone on its wulls. Such unexampled good fortuuc Richbcrta could not support with indifference, and if the maxim that " great . misfortunes arc easier to bo borne thew immodcruto happi ness," bo true, Richbcrta was destined to bo a glaring proof of tho truth of this os sertion. Her prido and vainglory kept step with tho incrou.se of her riches, and she showed this both by contempt for her fellow crcnturcs and by preparing the most luxuriant and extravagant feasts, less with tho iutcntiou of amusing and ut..doning thc town, than to give h?rguests tho opportunity to admiro thc Cvcr chan-?i.: .>; splendor of her apartments and bo ?sl?ntshod at tho foroigu and costly fiod and wine, und thus excite their envy. At one of these senseless repasts, offering nothing to the mind and leaving the heart void, n strange guest was announced. Ho oatno, ho said, from foreign countries, had seen many royal kiogdoms and tho splendor of their courts, and hud como to admire Rich berta's riches, which fume reported to bc mi raculous. The flattered mistress begged tho stranger, to tako a scat at her sido. Ile appeared to bc still a robust old mun, in tho picturesque o istumc of the Orient. Bis conduct was both dignified nod noble us ho stopped to Richbcr ti, expecting tho welcome from her hand, which, according to tho usage of bis country, is given symbolically by tho offering of bread and salt. But there wos no bread on her luxurious table, which groaned under its burden of rare, epicurean dishes, and from which thc pimplo nourishment of poverty was ban ished. Silently tho stranger seated himself, and .white taking refreshment related, in a manner which bound all eyes and cars npon him, of his travels by lund und water, o? foreign na tions and their euston's. Every guest was entranced with his words; but not so with tho virgin Richbcrta. lier vanity could expect nothing else than that the stranger should be loud in tho praises of her riches, tho brilliancy of her feast, aud would make comparisons giving fresh nour ishment to her pride. To these subjects, however, ho made no illusion; till, finally, driven to desperation, she demanded it of him herself, when ho confessed that only with kings had ho found Bitch splendor and extra vagance; and wdiat made it moro singular to him was that ho should miss hero tho best and noblest thing that tho earth pro duood. lu yoin did she attempt to obtain a fuller explanation of the strange guest, and being questioned too pressingly, ho disappeared, and J was not seen again. Riohberta's pride and curiosity, equally excited, allowed ber no quietude She possessed io valuables all that could bo men tioned ; however, ?the boat and noblest thing" waa wanting. She consulted soho] **.*?ibu* philosophers, sent for magicians ?nd astrologers, but nono knew how to name .ifc?Uhing which for years ?ho hod not pos ?f-'fesL'cstlees-dealro ibo had ships equipped ^tO.or^Ue.thrpugh all oceans and seas, to visit / \^t??)i'ft^/w?th'orders not to roturo till tho required article hud boen foundt Tho oom* . jwunder,of.hcr fleet put to sc* undecided wither to direct his ships. Ooo part ho sent to tho Kant, another to tl-o West, while ho himself witli his remaining vessels, relied on thc lover of tho winds. It happened that, by a leak, a part of tho provisions became ?poilod, and although there was no want of meat, wine, and other luxuries, the dour aud bread had become unfit for food, and thc want of it was soon felt most severely. In this strait, tho commander saw quickly whut ho must consider tho best things the caTth produced-not tho species and perfu.ncs of India, nor the pearl.- from tho depths of tho sen, nor diamonds of most priceless value; but that universally tlniving gift of nature, the indisponible ?nd inestimable nourishing bread. Ho recognized now thc senso of tho obscure words spoken by tho stranger, nod his resolutions wero quickly made Ho steered to a Baltic harbor, where ho took iu i lull cargo of tho finest wheat, with which ho sailed to Stavoren. As soon as he arrived ho appeared boforo Richbcrtn, who had not oxpected him so quickly, and announced to h ;r that he now know what was thc best of all tho earth's productions; had found it, and in abundance; had brought it with him. Ho then related to his astonished mistress how ho had obtained his knowledge, and that the mysterious guest could only have meant the failing bread. Ile, thcrcforo, behoved he had executed her order in a satisfactory manner. Rut Richbcrta was not of the same opin ion. She cast reproachful looks at the con founded servant, and, painfully suppressing her rogo, demanded to know on which side ot the ships ho had taken in thc cargo. shc was answered, On the right side." "Well, then," said tho haughty Richbcrta, "1 com mand you to throw tho whole cargo into the sea ou tho"left " In vain were appeals and expostulations made against thc carrying out of this order? uselessly did the faithful servant beg of ber not to destroy tho rich gift of God, but ut least to alleviate the wants of thc needy poor with it; uselessly did he scud to her crowds of poverty stricken wretches' to soften her heart. All was in vain. Before her own eyes she had tho rich wheat cargo, which could have given bread to so many, thrown inlo thc sea, nm id? the howlit); and cursings of the mullidudo. Thc bottom of thc sea had received the cargo, but tho grains became thc seedling of ruin. Germinating in thc mud, continually covered with new earth, there shot up a forost of Stalks,} without ears, ol unnatural growth, always springing high Ol and higher, which, Uko sea fungus or huge spiders, covered the surface of thc water. Af thc soft, movable mass of earth thereby found a support, an immense sand bank was formed before the harbor of Stavoren, which ur human power was aldo to break through - Tho numerous ships of the town, and also those of the rioh R chberta, being unable to find an entrance into tho port were sacri fices of the raging waves. Com morco and riches were destroyed, und continually recur ring strokes of misfortune precipitated thc proud virgin merchant from the piunoh of splendor and happiness into want an?, tu ia cry Rut thc sea, to whom an accustomed chan no) had been closed, raged with even new an g jr against the bank, duringa tcmpcstUOU storm it broke through the dykes, Hooded th> town nod bore it hastily into tho sea as a long wished for booty. Where Stavoren once stood now rolls th troubled waves of tho Ziiydorzoc. Rut whci the clear waters aljows ibo bottom lo bo scei the shippers view with horror, through it depths, the streets, proud towers, and higl gables of the palaces of this now sunken bu once magnificent town.

Tho following, in brief, aro tho prin cipal grounds of con tost urged by Mr. Bowen: First, that De Largo was engaged as a blook adorunnor in.1804 and part o? 1805, thereby giving aid, counsel and encouragement to poisons in armed hostility to tho United States; second, that during tho time nbovo nairn d, Bc Largo, W '?Ho at Nassau, took out British protection papers, in which ho mudo oath that ho was a British subject, and sub scribed to an oath ol' allegiance to tho British Crown, thus enabling him to claim protection frort, tho Bri ish ilag in tho event of capture; third, that if a citizen of tho United Stiles ho is laboring under political disabilities for tho reasons above mined, and therefore, can not tako tho oath of July 21, JS'32; and fourth, that being a British subject, ho is disqualified under tho constitution from hold, iug tho o (lice aforesaid. In unswer to tho above notice of contest. DoLargo specifically denies thc charges mude. lie st.'.'ea that he was simply a hired ?or VU nt on board of a blockade run nor, by which me nial service he escaped from forced labor on the defences of Charleston ; that he did not yield a voluntary support to thc Confederate Government, and, furthermore, that if bo had dono so, being of tho negro race, tho United States vested in him none of thc rights of an American citizen. Ile also denies that ho took an oath of allegiance to tho British crown, but did hold British protection papers, purchased to protect him from seizures as a slave. In regard to his political disabilities. DeLirgo avers that under tho Fourteenth amendment, ratified in 1808, he can talco tho oath of July. 1802, that he has not volunta rily given aid, comfort, &c, since ho was made a citizen. Furthermore, that as a na tive born resident of South Carolina, his orig inal right of citizenship would have reverted to him the instant he returned to tho State, oven though ho might have taken an oath of allegiance to Grout Britain,and that in 1804, thc American Government had not acknowl edged the right ol a citizen to expatiate him self. Finally, that by tho fifteenth amend ment his citizenship became fixed and estab lished by law.
