MANUSCRIPT FUGITIVE TOETRY.
RY AN ENGLISH LADY OF RANK.
THE WILD ROSE.
That the initial words of seventeen
verses, quoted promiscuously ft olh the Bible,
should, by accident, produce that awful,
ca ba tie tick sentence, is too incredible to ad J
mit of belief for a single moment. No! it
carries on its face, evidence of a design the
must infttnous, of a plot the most treasona
ble. The trifling transposition of a few
letters, shews that this pMA wu <• be sw
elled from all but the initiated, but to
them it was a preconcerted signal. To re
move every doubt, whether the diabolical
combination of letters, was the effect of ac
cident, or design, let the reader compare
the verses which are alleged in the Au
rora to be quoted from the Bible, with the
following, coirectly copied from that ines
timable book. He will there see, that in
no less than fenveises out of seventeen,
the initial word has been altered; and in
some, a whole brunch of a sentence has
oeen added, to furnish the letter necessary
to complete the Acrostick! in every alter
ation, much of the beauty and force of ex
pression in the original is sacrificed And
if the sole object of the writer was to wound
the feelings of Mr. Jackson, he has de
stroyed the effect of those biting sarcasms
contained in several of the verses, by his
interpolations. I will only add, that when
a writer charges an individual with being
ignorant of the contents of that sacred
book, he should be cautious how he violates
its purity by false quotations, or by adding
thereto, or taking therefrom.
For let him remember, that He who can
not lie, has said: “ I testify unto every man
that heareth the words of the prophecy of
this book, if any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto the plagues that
are written in this book : And if any man
shall take from the words of the book of
this prophecy, God shall take away his
part out of the Book of Ufe, and out of the
holy city, and from the things that are
written in this book.”— -Rev. chap. 22, ver.
18 and 19.
*1 u E infamous Acrostick copied from the
Aurora into your paper, [See The Rhode-
Island American <f February 16,] has
naturally excited sentiments of the keenest
indignation in the minds of every man who
is not ready to subscribe to the detestable
doctrine contained in the acrostick, that
“ NAPOLEON IS OUR king."
1. A wicked messenger falleth into mis
chief: but a faithful Ambasaadour is health.
2. None shall die without instruction:
yet in the greatness of your folly ye shall
listen tn tuin.
3. On tbi patn or thy feet fon-
DBH WILL,
4. Pray: for the fear of the Lord pro
longeth days: but the years of the wicked
shall be shortened.
Alinda rose at earty morn,
Love’s tributary gift to bear j
She pluck’d the wild rose from the thorn,
To bind it in her Julian's hairt
° Alas ! dear youth, these fragrant flo4r*rs,
“ A short but sweet existence prove i
*• Too frail to picture truth like ours,
“ Who only live that we may love !**
M And when the blooms of youth are past,
And when these eyes have lost their fires,
u Then, then my tenderness shall last,
“ My love but with my life expires !
" Oh! wilt thou then forget my years,
« The storms of life undaunted prove,
«< And seek to sooth her tender fears,
* Whose very life of life is love ?”
5. Let strangers be filled with thy
wealth, and thy labours be in the house of
a stranger.
6 Endow thyself with truth : her lips
shall t>e established forever: but a lying
is but for a moment.
7. A crown of glory then shall be thine,
~»d it shall give to tby head an ornament
ui grace.
“Mark, Julian, mark, yon insect gay,
“ Which reckless moves from flow’r to
flow’r !
° Oh waste not thus youth’s joyous day,
“ But give to love each roseate hour!
“ Remember, that such fleeting fires
“ The motions of the moment prove j
M Mine only with my life expires,
“ Alinda's vital spark is love!"

A vkbt general mistake prevails as to
Duane’s Acrostick which has been inge
niously pilfered from the Bible. It is erro
neously thought that the verses published
in the Aurora, the initials of which give
the above sentence—” Napoleon is our
king,” are to be found in some chapter of
scripture in the order published.
This very mistake into which the pub
lick has fallen, betrays the art and pur
pose of the villain. It is in this way that
the superstition and religious prejudices of
the uninformed are tampered with, to fur
ther the base purposes of democracy. Our
holy .religion is profaned, the scripture
mangled, mocked at and derided for tfe
unhallowed purpose of destroying man’s
happiness and liberty.
The passages taken from the holy writ,
as published in the Aurora, are no where
to be found in the order given. The infi
del wretch and slave of Bonaparte, has
been at the trouble of ransacking the book
of God, for the wicked purpose of inducing
the ignorant to believe, that the Almighty
has destined the tyrant of France to reign
over America. It is thus that French emis
saries expect to deter the religious part of
the community from resisting the attempt
to steal away their liberties, and suflecc
them to an usurper’s power.
In the same way that Duane has manu
factured his Acrostick, any other sen
tence can be framed. NAPOLEON IS
DERANGED AND SOON WILL DIE,
may be produced by the same means that
the other sentence has been brought into
existence. But we shall not pollute the
pages of scripture, by converting them to
the detestable and wicked purpose of de
ceiving and bewildering the human family,
to benefit and enlighten whom they were
given to the world.
There is a Secret and mystery in this af
fair which it behoves the people to become

foolish and live, and go in the way of un
derstanding."

business to unmask the villains, who, at th*
present crieie, display a zeal and activity
proportionate to the temptations held
>o them, to mature and Communicate thelt
schemes to overturn our government.
We understand that the different demo*

States, communicMe intelligence io each
other, and give signals for action by cer
tain symbolical marks, or wtlch vtordu
known only to themselves, and which are
conveyed to a distance in the pubiklt
prints. Thus a kind of Tammany, Ta<*
lismanick Telegraphe is established, by
which their damnable designs travel to th*
most remote parts of the union, as rapidly
as the mails will carry them. It is also
said that these Jacobin Societies, the meat*
bers of which take an oath <f oecrecy, car*
respond in cypher, the key to which ifi
known only to their officers.
Under circumstances such as these, a|
riMhoment so alarming, * is It nW time hf
Americana, not merely to look about them f
but to take same more efficient measures fot*
self-preservation ? The explosion of sotnO
horrid plot may take place at a moment
when least expected. Every well affected
citizen ought to be on his guard- If tomf
steps are not taken to counteract the blacE
designs of internal enemies, we shall isll
an easy prey to the French force which If

The state of our national affairs, th*
proofs which we have of the corrupt de

influx of French emissaries in our Coun

all point to inevitable ruin, unless duty
reoioted by the American FAOFLRI But
a few days before Duane's Symbolical
Acrostick was published, (which a day oF
two afterwards, also appeared in Dewit
Clinton’s paper at New-York,) he openly
proposed in the Aurora and alliance with
'• our Fing NapoleonP A previous hypo
thetical proposition wus made by the Whig
<»f this place, for the fiurfioae of feeling

hereditary monarchy. These things leave
no room, with the most infatuated, blind of
sceptical to doubt the designs of the more
worthless portion of the deinocratick party.
They <all*for prompt and decisive action
in which the honest men of all parties we
trust will cheerfully co-operate. Delay
may prove our ruin. The exertion of or
dinary spirit and patriotism will accom
plish our salvation. May we not hope that
the great body of the people still remain
firm and uncontaminated by French prin
ciples ? They want nothing but the exam
