It is very honourable to the mercy of God,
that his word encourage* even sinner* to
plead their confidence in him, a* a reason
why he should save and help them. He
always incline* his* dar to the prayer of
faith; and they, who trust in him, and
seek ali their happiness from him, shall
never be put to shame. His power, truth
and love will be their residence and for
tress, to which they may always resort,
and in which they will be secure and com
fortable even amidst trouble* and alarm*.
He hath given commandment to save them,
not only from unrighteous and cruel men,
but from the wicked and cruel enemies of
their soul*. Happy therefore are all they
who make the Lord their hope ; but most
happy they who have been taught by him
and so have trusted him from their youth
and with advancing years have acquired
increasing- experience of hi* faithfulness
and mercy. But, alas ! how few grotAip
in his fear and spend their lives to his glo
ry! It is indeed a great mercy to young
people to be early instructed in the things
of God. Parent* have an important obli
gation upon them in this respect. And
children, who are thus favoured, have ad
ditional reasons to love, honour and requite
their parents. Yet let none of us expect
much quiet in thia world. They, who from
their earliest youth have loved the Lord
and declared hi* wonderou* works, and
walked before him in truth and equity,
4tav* often been shewed sore troubles, and'
have been exceedingly hated and per
secuted. Nay, they have “ even been won
dered at,** for their principles, their con
duct and their trials. Scott'e table,

As wimpling the dark bum of f Larachvan

The lasses were bleaching—a bower he made,
Blooming whins and green basks mild tem

Dalmally's sweet glen, bow oft have we atray’d

The lark ’bovc our beads gay warbling to

And mark’d the last beams of the sun as they
play’d o'er
The snow-cover’d bead of tßcn Cruaclian at
even!
Then fancy would trace on the licath-cover'd
mountain.
The wild doer and huntsman suspended in
air!
Some warrior shade, by the foam-dasbing
fountain j
And the mist of our forefathers hovering
'Gainst yonder grey frowns over the
deep gkn,

fensive demands made upon our govern
ment by France; a wat ton and precon
certed hostility to every power resolved to
resist the progress of Imperial influence,
and his ready co-operation in all the am*- *
bitious schemes of the tyrant of Europe,
not less betrayed in the unwarrantable re
jectee of the Spanish Minister, and the
unprovoked dismissal of the British Am
bassadour, than in the suspicious and. l*rm
ing mission to Russia, taken together, can
not fall totally to obliterate whatever fa*
vourahle opinions may have been entertain
ed of his political integrity and firmness.
We cannot conceal our astonishment and
displeasure, that any one of* our readers
should be disposed to question the authen
ticity of information so seriously communi
cated. It would be among the last acts of
which we could be guilty, to palm upon the
community, information, so vitally affect
ing the honour and character of our gov
ernment, unless the facts were undeniable.
But why should any man be slow of belief,
when not one of the whole list of venal
prints in the employment of government,
has ventured to contradict our statement f
We 'once more pledge ourselves to the
truth of the following facts:— ’• That the
President of the United States rejected

These flirts being undent'd, and suscep
tible of proof, i< becomes. the people of
America, at such an alarming crisis, scru
pulously to examine and promptly end
boldly to decide upon the conduct of the
Executive.
Ry the constitution and his oath of office,
the President is called upon to commuui- ,
cate to Congress nil important information ■
affecting the interest of the nation. The
rejection of the Spanish Minister, repre
senting a great and powerful people still in
the legitimate possession of their- empire
and government, took place but a short
time antcriour to the meeting of Congress,
and yet did Mr. Madison suppress the in
formation, and attempted, as far as in his
power lay, to conceal from the American
people the knowledge of one of the most
important acts of his administration.
We appeal to the most inveterate. advo
cates of fraud, juggling aud democracy,
whether his motives for this concealment
could have been, honest and icee (n>m base "
design ? If Mr. Madison were conscious of
having followed the dictates of-duty, and ■,
honestly consulted the interest and honour
of his country, would he have endeavoured
to hide from the eyes of the people a mea
sure, the bare suppression of wh>h stamps
it with shame and disgrace ? If the refusal
to recognise the government of Spain as In
dependent, was indispensable to the present
interest and future security of this nation, ' . <
why did not the President candidly and ,
boldly impart the information to Congress
and assign his reasons for the steps which
he had taken f Why did he fear to take a
firm stand before the nation, and submit
the policy and rectitude of his conduct to t
the judgement of his constituents. Con
scious that the measure taken was io obe
dience to foreign orders, he sought to covof
his disgrace by omitting to do bis duty. It
was necessary to shun publick light, which
would expose his dark and sinister designs.
This alone gives a character to the act '
which ought to blast and defeat its pur
poses. It io impossible for the people
to be so blind and infatuated, as to sup
port administration in a cowardly aban
donment of their rights, interest and hon- '
our, merely -to avert the wrath of an usur
per, who, if h> had the power to injure
us would long since have made us feel the
full force of nis resentment hi a more effi-o
tual way, than by the conflacatiMi of pro*'
party and the scisure and burniug of out
vessels.
