“se a re THE LAWRENCE DIVORCE CASE. A De- Tv Magione Lomoceas i Acne g4 ‘The publicity which has recently been given to ‘the difficulties between Mr. T. Bigelow Lawrence -and his wife, and the unsparing abuse that has been Aavished upon him by the advocates and friends of Mrs. Lawrence, seem to demand imperatively that ‘ome statement should be made of the motives ‘which prompted, and the causes which rendered, this course necessary. Whatever may be argued by those unfriendly to him, from his silence to the pre- sent hour, it is nevertheless true, that he has thus far retrained from making any public explanation, from metives of delicacy, and from a consciousness that hie justification could not be established with- out divulging facts'and a correspondence which no- thing but extreme necessity ehould call ferth. His vindication lies, in a great measure, in a series of ettera writ ten by, Mrs. Lawrence, and various mem- ‘bers of her fumily ; and had it not been for the ua- justifiable manner in which he has been assailed, they would never have been known. But he is noW summoned, by a call that must be heeded, to defend his honor and his name. The press and the public alike demand that he should explain his mo- tives and justify his conduct ; and nothing now re- amains but tbat the truth should be staied distinctly and decidediy, whatever may be the consequences, or on whomsoever the weight of public opprobriaum my, fall. hat Mr. Lawrence offered no opposition at the date trial at Louisville, need not create surprise.— ‘Without mene | upon the legal character of the libebfor divorce filed in the case, we would state that it appears singular to practitioners in our courts, that the residence of neither party should be therein wet pop ee that there is no internal evideace in othe bill the court, before whom it was brought, had apy jurisdiction in the mutter. There are other omissions which here seem equally strange, and which would either prove fatal to the case, or require such a series of amendments as would not be creditable to the lawyer who framed it. ‘The of the phraseology, and the logical ‘precision of the petition, we will pass over, as the can form some idea of these by perusing the ments of Messrs. Guthrie end Preston, in the ease of Lawrence vs. Lawrence, by whom the libel ca iving all other defe he waivi t defects or omissions, t: quaches that there has been no sufficient service ‘on the ndeni, must alone invalidate all pro- ceedings in the case. At no time during the pro- grees of the catise, has Mr. Lawrence reeeived ‘any notice to appear; nor had he the faintest inti- mation, from any ley source, as to the time or ra when the application for divorce waa to be rd. The copy of the libel, which was alone served on him, was without date, (except the -c’erk’s certificate, which was appended thereto;) it was made returnable to no term of the court; and, whatever time may have been assigned for case, no order of notice founded thereon was seived upon him, and he therefore had no legal summons to answer und defend. In }» he had no right voluntarily to make himself @ party to a proceeding without a decree of the court; and the only legal inference that could be drawn from the facts, as they appeared to Mr. Lawrence prior to the trial, was, thet the libel had been dismissed on account of informality, and ‘that no new one had been filed. This omission in givin, proper Notice to the respondent, is not only a sui t reason for Mr. Lawrence’s non-appear- ence, but it invalidates the whole proceedings ‘from the outset; it renders the judgment, founded on the verdict of the jury, null'in Massachusetts, and inoperative everywhere, and it is one of those defects that cannot be regarded with very Batisfacti. y those who are responsible for it. Another tae that might be had under the ‘act of March 6, 1850, resp Mr. Lawrence, is, that the Act was wholly in able to his.case, the advertisement having mn published nine days before the law was passed. No lawyer need ‘be told that retroactive statutes are contrary to the jurisprudence of the land; and Tuling of the Supreme Court of the United States, Tetrospective laws, ite, hye rights, are as inoperative as ex post facto laws, when applied to € Jt was accordingly supposed that no pro- ceedings would be had or An an act powerless as al the advertisement of Mr. Lawrence, and that the judges of Keuvecky would refnse to pure sue a course contrary to every sound principle of Jaw, and manifestly at variance with the spirit and Jeuer of conetitutional liberty. These reasons, in the opinion of counsel, were eufficient to deter Mr. Lawrence from noneerinhe either in person or by attoruey, ut Louisville, and, in cor ce with advice, he oflered no op- position to the libel. As it is difficult to say definitely what testimony “was given at the trial, we will first notice the ac- count contained in one of the | rnals of Louisville, not only from the fact that it has been ‘more extensively copied than any other, but also ‘Ddecause the character of the paper forbids the idea of any intentional error. : Mrs. Lawreace did leave Boston for Louisville in company with her father, but Mr. Ward had some time previous offered to attend his daughter thither, in case her husband should be unable to do so. Me. Ward, in a letter to Mr. Lawrence, ander date of July 1th, said—* If your ments are suck 26 to prevent your ville, stating that Mr. Lawrence could not leave ‘apd immediately a second letter was writ- in to him by Mr. Ward, dated July 25th, in which was euid—“ If Sallie concludes to visit her mo- now, write me at once, and 1 will soon be in ‘When it is important she should be here, re to go for her.” On the ‘ard was in Boston, to Mr. Lawrenee, at the hat she should certainly ber, and it wes not ex- ‘was toaccompany her back.

Lawrence should return to Bos the firet of October. The reply to this letter not deny the promise, but alleged certain rea- why its fulfilment was im, ible. Besides arted from this left behind her a written promise that she Temain in Louisville only one week; but ntarily extended by her husband riod. rae agen tere at om wife's 7 @maiping ia TE) was known to the parents o! ‘Mra. Lawrence more five months before the i pate F i $ Ke > pal of the advertisement. The svme letter of Mr. Lawrence, above alluded to, dated . 9, -contains the following :—‘‘ If you prefer Sallie to remain in Louisville, and do not ¢1 ce the offer which I make, and one it is which is prompted the st ction and a true desire for her ‘welfare, have only to say to you, sit, that you owill effect a separal beiween my and my- dollar trensaction.” Mrs. Lawrence in that case, made no application whatever to her husband for money ; but, witheut his knowledge, wrote a note to Mr. Abbot Lawrence, asking fur the loan of one hundred dollars. The note was as follows:— “De «iHen,.—You will confer a favor upon m» by sending me one hundred dollars, which my fathe- will return to you in person. I am expecting money every dey, but Eliza wishes her wages, to make imme- diate purchases with, which induces me to apply to ou. I receive it asa loan. When pa arrives, it will returned to you. Yours, SALLIE W. L. The sum asked for was immediately enclosed to Mrs. Lawrence ina letter, wherein all that was said in reference to the money was—‘ I enc!ose one hundred dollars, which yen wrote to me for this morning, for the purpose of paying your maid.”” Mrs. Lawrence, in an answer wiitten the same day, suid—** Reeewe my thanks for your prompt atfention to my request, Which shall be returned to you immediately.” Five days, at least, after Mrs. Lawrence’s return to Louisville, viz., the first of September, she wrote a letter to her husband, in which she said— * Pa commenced to-day with my yearly allow- ance; the first appropriation J made was to send one hundred dollars to your father.” And in due course of mail, according to the testimony of Mr. ‘Waid, a letter was received, acknowledging the receipt of the From first to last, there was no application made for the repayment of the sum. Mrs. Lawrence asked for it, and chose to consider it ax a loan, and its return was veluntary and unsolicited. We trust that the hundred dollar transaction will induce Mr. Preston to ‘* pause and reflect.” What renders the charge of meanness, which the advocates of Mrs. Lawrence have atiempted to throw upon Mr, Abbou Lawreuce, in connection with this transaction, peculiarly unjust, is the fact that only a few days before this sum of one hundred dollars wae borrowed, he offered to pay any bills thet she might have in Boston. She declined the offer, with thanks, saying she owed no bills in the city whatever. Twoor three days after, Mr. 'T. B. Lawrence received a bill of ninety-eight dollars from Messrs. Jones, Lows, & Ball, contracted some weeks previously by his wife. Thus much has been said, in answer to epecific testimony given at the recent trial in Louisville; but great injustice would be done to Mr. Lawrence if this statememt were to terminate here. It now becomes necessary to indicate the reasons which rendered him unwilling to repair to Louisville, and to show the obstecles and trials he was Stand to contend with, during his wife’s resjdence in ton. With Mrs. Lawrence, prior to her coming to She arrived in this tof April, 1849. Her fame there ton, we have nothing to do. city (Boston) on the sf asa belle had certainly preceded her, was an eager desire te see one who hade created £0 great a sensation. But the curi the public, great as it was, did not equal the ness and love with which she was welcomed by the kindred of Mr. Lawrence; and the efioris made to render her satisfied and happy in her new home, were prem by the warmest affection nd regard. Her own acknowledgment of that kindness is thus expreesed in one of her letters, written since returning te. Louisville :—‘* My new hone has forme many attractions. I met with unqualified kindness ‘and attention while there, which I shall never forget. With health I could nCt fail to be happy, when such efiorts were made to renderme so. But, however eamest or sincere were those efforts, they were still ineffectual ia cing either contentment or happi immediately after reaching Boston, Vereee! Louisville ake oe rgu jing but ppointment istress. It appeared that devotion and kindness were unable to Meonee eile her to her new abode; and notwithstanding the rank she occupied, and the attentions that were shown her, the letters she wrote to her fa Jy, in the aera, who perused them all, “conveyed the idea of utter, perfect misery.” The cause of all this sorrow and suflering was so idle, that we are reluctant to mentionit. While every reasonable wish was gratified, some foolish whims were oppcsed, and this determined the whole char- acter of her thoughts and feeli ‘Till Mis. Law- rence arrived in Boston, she never learned to heed the wishes of others—the idol of the ball- room had always met with submission, and the se- cret of obedience had never been acquired by her. Among the habits to which she had been accus- tomed while in Louisville, was one which her hus- bend endeavored to break, not only because it was injurious to herself, but also because it was con- demned by the sentiment of the community among whom the had become aresident. We allude to the frequent and free use of eins and other cos- metics. Whatever she had done elsewhere, Mr. Lawrence represented that in Boston such a habit could not be allowed, and he sought to exert the prercgative of a husband by forbidding its practice. his prohibition was received with anything bat favor by Mrs. Lawrence, and colored darkly the early letters she wrote to her parents. Her cony ts were not long unknown. The suspicion that all was not right soon ripened into a conviction, and reports were circulated in the West that she was far from being happy in her new home, Side by side with these tales, went forth accounts of her physical suffering, and the people ot Ken- tucky heard that her life was in danger. It was even said that her return to her native city was not improbsble, and in a letter written to a friend wm Lowsville, only sixteen 8 after her arrival im Boston, Mra. Lawrence said that she should go back to Louisville, if not better. But these reports were a few days subsequently corrected ; the wrote to a friend, under date of April 2lst, hat, she “ was as well os she ever had been im her fe. In of statements made by Mrs. Lawrence to her parents, she received a letter from her mother, (postmarked Louisville, April 15th.) It chould be borne in mind that this was ene of the earliest letters written by a mother to her daughter after marriage, it having been written only thirty- three days after Mre. Lawrence left Louisville, and only fifteen after her arrival in Boston. Mrs. Ward wrote thus :—** I am going to write _you a real war letter. You ssy you are acting by Mr. Lawrence's command, ond you are unhappy by so doing. let me advise you in this case ; seem to ol do as you please, If you ure proper caution he can never know it.

But if you think differently, then do ten, it was evident from her appearance that thr old habit bed egain been practised. Mr. Lawrence, however, did not make #ny accusation, but, afier | abuee. had separated, Mrs, L. said of her 'y ord, to Mre. Abbott Lawrence, “ Bige thivks I have bren rowging to-day, but it is not 80; there is no paint on my cheeks.” Mr. Lawrence’s reply was, “1 have nothing to say at all; Sallie knows best; 1do not accuse her of anything.” Hi s wife then said, “* To convince you, rapier, that what J gay is true, abort half an hour ago was in the muse teom with Kitty end Abbott, (youngest son of «A. witnee,) and Abbott said, ‘How red your cheeks are} should think ‘ou hed been painting,’ and he wet his handkerehiet with cologne, and wiped my face with it.

Now do burn this as foon as y ‘way of illustrating the foregoing, we will pre- eae short extract from a letter written by Mrs. Ward to Mrs, Abbott Lawrence, five days after the above. The letter is dated Louisville, April 20th :-—“* Never have | been more surprised, my dear Mrs. Lawrence, than, on reading your last letter, 1 can in no way account for Sallie’s most conduct.

The soms of a@oney #0 paid, both to and fer her, would, by others, have been considered large, and her hus band waa ever ready and willing to supply all her reasonable wants. Indeed, it had been the wish of Mr. Ward, st his daughter's marriage, to provide all her personel expenses himself, as he had made no settlement upon her at that time; and, accordingly, had Mr. Lawrence Ce paid the bills as testified to by Mr. Ward, he had done all that his wife’s faiher had reason to expect. But, as before stated, much more than this was done. a for, if Sallie remains there, it would cer- ‘Whenever Mrs. Lawrence desired money, it was | furnished her withont hesitation; and whoever knows the money eo provided, and the bills paid for her, ought not to deny hia kindnevs and libe- rality.

This appsrently, was not with- ont ite result; and on Sunday, April 20th, the fol- lowing note was sentto Mr. Abbott Lawrence :-~ “Receive, my dearest father, my solemn oath, which is this day registered above, to conform to the wishes of my husband.

It may appear tingular that, for the pur- ore of this short visit, Mrs, Lawrence should have cen ccmpelled to take with her the entire ward- tobe which she possessed—a wardrobe, we unhesi- tatingly sey, as extensive as that of any lady in the country, Yetsuchis the fact. Every diess and robe—ihough they numbered nearly eighty—gar- ments edapted to the winters of Boston and the summers of Louisvile—shawls and cloaks—were all canied off, 10 answer the purpose of a three er fous weeks’ visit. All that remained behind was a uunk of respectable size, which Mrs. Lawrence, et leaving, told her husband conteined most of her drerses; but, on exumination, nothing wes found therein but two or three gieseing owns for a sick 1cem, Which some invalids would have hought of taking with them. Not long efter Mre. Lawrence errived in Louis ville, Mr. Ward wrote a letter to her husband, in which he propoted that Mr. Lawrence should at once repair to that city, end there take up his abode, It wes stated that the perents of Mrs. Lewrence could not consent to her residing in Boston. The Janguege of the letter (dated August 30th) was— “Tier return to Boston is not adebateable ques- tion.” ‘Lhe res'cue of the letter proposed that Mr, Lawrenee should give up all his other plans and wrapgements, and, Without any expressien of re- Was asked to Ko atence to Louisville and reside.— The letter made known certain facts with great mi- buteness, It stated the rent of houses iu Louisviile; would transpire in & public hotel before suc a | rience had taught him that there was nothing, however costly, or however foolish, that she di. chases were regulated by no me |, and controlled by no discretion; that year after year, bills might be presented to him to un almostunlimited amount, — oo her eceount, and for Load ar every thing she might procure, he, wronged, insulted, abendoned, as he been, was liable. He remembered, too, her pride and place, and he felt arcured thet every measure of duplicity would be employed, both to abuse himself and explain the theme of her own desertion. Under these circum- stences, the advertisement appeared. Who could hove done otherise? What other resource wes before him? And who, knowing his wrongs, will row ccme forward to arraign his motives or im- pugn bis conduct? to the cause ot Mr. ecntained in the letters bas been passed over in giles ce, that the lovers of scandal would be too heyyy tosead. Remarks upon ladies of Louisville, end felatives of Mr. Lawrence, in Boston, might have been published, that would make no new fiends, and might surprise some old ones. Certain peculiarities, that are not considered ornaments in epistolery conespondence, have been willingly sup- poses. Nothing has been stated that hus not been deemed essential in vindicating the course and conduct of Mr. Lawrence, and everything herein contained, has been brought forth by the veal of the defenders of Mrs, Lawrence, and the rencour of her relatives. Let these last indulge in bo murmurs or complaints. They have here no Witneeses wgainst them but themselves. There is nothing heie stated that has not been rendered necessary by their own acts and agency.

After expreesing surprise at this unex- iMe, reply of Mr. Lawrence was courteous, but pected course, he says :—** It is far from being my Which might risk my wife’s hewlth, since you think the cold weather here would prove te dangerous.” He then asked that Mr. Ward would bring his daughter to New York by the firet of October, (according to the spirit of his payin 12) where he would embark with her for the West Indies, to spend the winter at one or se- veri] of the islands, as Mis. Lawrence mighteleet; or, ehculd ehe prefer, he would proceed with her to Rio Jeneire, and there pass the winter months. Mr. Lewience mentioned that there were over- reaeons against his residing in Louia- ville. What those reasons were, we deem it hardly necersary to neme. Mr. Ward’s anewer (dated September 19th) said that the of his daughter’s health demanded ase mother’s care and advice. The question of re. Lawrence’s return, and the kind invitations of hes husband, were thus answered :—“1 cannot bring her, nor will 1 consent to a voyage to the Weet Indies.” But Mr. Lawrence’s efforts to obtain the return of his wife, did net terminate here. Ina letter to 1s. Lawrence, (dated October,) he repeats his offer to take her te a warm climate, and expresses bean. This offer was distinctly and coldly declined, end a third, expressed in most affectionate lan- e, met with the same return. is is the tone of “Mr. Lawrence's invitations. The letter of October suys:—‘ Accept of this offer, Tentreat you, dear Sallie; and ifyou are not well and happy, it will not, | assure ot be your hus- bend’s fault, for I shail doeverything to render you so.” Another letter in October says :—‘* 1 now write you once again, to urge, to entreat you, if pa have ony love for me or yourself, to return. ask you, dear Sallie, to come back tome. In the sight of Ged and man, you are my wife—with me you bave sworn to live, and from me you have po tight to remain.” r Fiem the time Mrs. Lawrenee reached Louis- ville, her health, according to her own letiers, be- gan repidly to improve. Every letier affirmed the seme thing, and to speedy was the omy that, in less then two weeks, she wrete that she had alrea- dy attended one party, and felt well enough for a little dissipation. Under date of October 7th, she wrote to a relative of Mr. Lawrence, that is ville was then very ft, tha: the color had again her cheek the hue of returning health, and jancy ball was svon to tuke Fe, which she attend es a “ Circassian slave,” for which ea beautiful new dress had jost been received. * Louisville has been exlacmaly, pay we have had mesguerane®, fancy balls, tableaux, and par- Te. ties.”” Lawrence’s constant attendance at those parties cun be moony & ed. In his gay eeuson she was the gayest ladies of Luuis- ville, and we leave it to those who then saw her, to sny whether the happy belle seemed to them like a pining invalid ! ‘The following extracts apparently imply that the conduct of Mrs. Lawrence, while in jon, Was net altogether unexceptionable. This 1s the opinion ot her mother:-—“Sallie has jiven you (Mr. Lawrence) great cause for dissatis- ction. God only knows how deeply I have la- i $ mented it.

The cause of the epimosity was this:— Mrs. Abbott Lawrence wrote a lewer to Mr. Ward, (dated May 3ist,) accorai to a previous egreement, in which she com Ss; ome « — faults of ants d emake tote and prepored means whereby they it be cor- rected. The whole tone of the letier was kind and aflectionate in the eatreme, and could only have ceded from @ warm heart, and one that lamented deeply the errors that were sought to be ” remedied. But thia letter, instead of being received with favor, was read in a) 5 it was sent back to Boston, thi Sallie might see what her dear mother seid of her,” and from this time, until Mrs. Lawrence left for Louisville, every letter she re- ceived from her mother, so far as known, expressed undirguived hostility against the mother of her burband. This ie the language of one letter :-—“ O, that letter, my child, had like tocraze me. I have since, You know I am a proud and to have such a woman speak- ing so of my ter!

She will ee rain.” Ia an place she says:—‘* We Il have another letter of complainis from Mrs. Lawrence soon, about your extra \ am They must have cost at least each. This is no jest with me, Sallie.

But, poor woman, id not know what many of her own terms meant ; *) When little is mn, lite te is Elsewhere she says:—‘* woman says your education has been neglected She does know what oe is. Sallie, Sal spect.” In another letter, Mrs, Ward concludes a fresh volume of abuse, saying :—** Sallie, be: ware of her; she is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Thus stood the case:—Mrs. Lawrence paired to her former home, under circumstances that were certainly significant, aad which implied anything buta design to return. She had gone to Louisville, in accordance vious purpose, and her huabat low her to a city that did not him a very I for- | heypy or independent life.

He was asked to ae p always Jet her pursue her own way, and under the coun- tels of a mother who bore to him an enmity that could never be forgotten. Despite her errors and her folly, Mre. Lawrence had been kindly and eflecticuately invited back, not toexpose her health to the rigor of a New England winter, but to re- r to the mort delightful climate that heart could wish. Once, twice, and thrice, that invitation had heen cfieved, end coldly, unfeelingly declined.

OUR FASHIONABLE CORRESPONDENCE. Catsxint Mountain Hovse, July 2, 1850. Arrwalat Catskill Mowntains— Wawayanda Lake, us Beauties, §&c.—The Ladies Playing at Tenpins, ny Ge. arrived here last evening, about 7 o'clock, after a long, warm, and tedious ride of five hours, over a very steep road, from Catskill landing; but all my fatigue disappeared on beholding the gorgeous view that opened to my sight on arriving at the top of the mountain. Seven States were in view, pre- senting a vast and beautiful spectacle, most pleas- ing to the traveller. There are now only about 50 to 100 visiters at the house ; but new arrivals each day are adding to the number of those already here, | which will scon fill the house to overflowiag. Mr. Beach, the proprietor, appears to be a very clever and obliging man, sets a very good table, and has } attentive waiters. 1 have not been here a sufficient | length of time to report more fully of the place ; | but in a day or two, when I get better acquainted, | 1 will write you my observations. | Before sarting for this place, I determined to visit ‘anda Luke, the Indian name for “* way over Her, id ascertain, for my own satisfaction, whether there was any reasonable foundation for the bitter attack made on that place and its option tor, by N. P. Willis, in the Home Journal, of the ed ult. it appears, on my making rd, of the facty, that that gentleman made a visit to the lake, | and left a short time before 1 got there. 1 think he has been too severe on the place and its people. It may be proper here to give a short description of Wawayanda Lake, of the mode of getting to it, of the scenery, &c. Mr. Willis complains of the joumey in getting to it,—of the hard and jolting | ride from Chester to the lake. Now, I consider the | trip from New York to the lake as one replete with comfort and pleasure. ‘The Ramapo railroad cars leaving Jersey Qity at 7k o’clock in the morning, reach Suffern at about 9}; there the Erie railroad | intersects, ond, without delay takes you from Suf- fern to Chester in about one hour, where, at Coo- per's stables, a covered carriage is furnished, which saben row to the lake, distant ten miles, in one hour and a half, or about 124 o’clock, ia time for dinner at 2o’clock. On getting to the lake, the traveller must be dall indeed, if he cannot appre- ciate the lovely scene. The house (no pretension being made to a hotel) faces the lake, and stands within a few feet of the shore. It can accommodate something in the neighborhood of 100 visiters; and being but two monet has a great advantage over houses of four an ve. lfound the society small, but quite select. The young ladies (bless their ae eyes and cher- Ty lips) are highly respectable, but not possessed of thet starched up stiffness and miserable attempt at hauteur, that is to be observed in many of the ladies ut Saretoga and other watering sites. Un- like these, their society is most desirable, and it is no fault ef theirs, if you do not feel perfectly wel- come and at home ; they are not so prudish as to decline when invited to have a game at ten pins, with any gentleman of the place. 1] was much amused to eee one gentleman enter into a game Me AE me of course it was a very easy matter to beat her—but, much to his surprise, he found it but a very shert time before she had com- pletely bexten him.

Iam writing in the room once occupied, for about three weeks, by Washington, and afterwards by LaFayette and Jackson; since then, by Henry Clay, and others of our illustrious countrymen. I don’t know thet I shell write any better—perhaps not so well, on this account—but, with the least pretention in the world to merit as a writer, I wil, e’en scribble on. Six out of the two hundred people now assembled here, held an animated conversation, last enening, on personal and State affairs. And—would you believe itt—it is gravely asserted in this State, that John M. Clayton is taking every laudable step to secure the nomination, from his party, for the next Presideney. And, seme of the gentieman’s friends it is believed by a few of ot pee that cur “ amiable and intelhgent” friend, Mr. Le- Vin is again trying to pave the way for political success.
