There is a perianal Interest kindied the work before which our readers, are sure, will excuse for alludin; to.

It was while Mr. MadUon was Secretary of an In the third year of his firs: term, and within a year of th date of the cession Louisiana to the I tha under the of its founder, its 111 it sheet to the world. That sheet, with whatever vigo It possessed, sustained the Administration which Madisoi belonged, and especially defended it from the inaligi charges and severe denunciation which were aimed It for accomplishing that greatest of all the measures eve achieved by American and An when Madison was aspiring to the hoit.i, and when the Ir was placed in his hanJs, the hi- constant Sealous and Indefatigable friend, eschewing the fierc personal -f the times, and seeking to cotnp. th of our discordant brethren, and to unite ail true publicans in support. And if, before the close of hi administration, the felt it to he its duty oj 1 pose particular act, that did not interfere wit the which existed between the editor ami its illin Irlous bead, and which continued until the time of hi decease.

Nor can we forget the intimate relation wbh long between the founder of this journal and distinguished biographer, whose work is now before us hoi the hailed early efforts In the Assemld which foreshadowed Ids hrilliunt earter; and, at a late day, when he appeared in the House of liepreftci.tativc* an in the Senate of the I'tilted States, and in his first i mission to France, followed able and lead An If we must drop a veil the of the last fei we hail v.itli not the less fervor, this tribute to th I memory of one who was the friend of hoth. The first chapter opens with some graceful ami apprnpr ate remarks on the connection between history ami hie I graphy, which are followed a narrutive of the birth an I parentage of James Madison, lie was loon the lay of March, the house of Ins inutein.d grand mother, Mrs. Conway, on the Northern of iUppii bannock, in Hie county of King tieorge, while his motlie was there on a visit. His parents were MxdNoa.on of the largest landholders of Orange, ami a most reputabl man in private life; and ids mother was Lleanor Conway The ither lived lung enough to see son Secretary Mate, and the mother turvn ed in extreme age to th death of her son. I he author not mention the time her death, but we remember her at Montpelitr, a late when Mr.

Madison, who died ill 1MW, srv entv-tive. The attentions of the statesman to his old niothe are said to have been touching; and it a greater was ever vouchsafed to a mother than that which the en joyed in contemplating the dutiful affection, the spieodh fivil career, and the cxaitid moral putity ot Iter son, ii i hard to say what it is.

On his relurii fron this school, he studied fur a season under the cure of fhi Iter.

Thomas Martin, the ruler ol the Parish, was at inmate of father's family, these geldlerncii In made his preparations for Princeton. It was in 1709 that Madison entered dale whirl memo: able in our annals, and from our author passing glance at its occurrences, both in hngJaiid am Virginia. Our young student whs deeply interested in wit netting his first commencement of the College, and writes detal ed account of it to h.s father, which Is very properIi published in full. thai the degree of I. was then conferred for the first time in America, and.
