School on Eaconk Hill, in Sterling, (Con
necticut,) is now opened under the care

The Trustees flatter themselves that
the well known abilities of the Preceptor,

nation of the place, tie* cheap and agree
able boarding which the neighbourhood
furnishes, will be inducements to people
who tend their children abroad for educa

w. presume the unsuccessful party will
not be disposed to assert, that their failure
is to be attributed to personal considera
tions; as this would be a cruel reflection
both upon their friends whom they have
supported, and themselves. Indeed we
confess that Ibis is not the cause; for what
ever objections have been or might be made
to their candidates for publick favour, for
many years past the total disregard to what
were once thought requisites in individuals
LAMENT UPON A DEAD ROBIN.
So high already is the sun,
All other birds their praise have done j
Yet Bub his song has not begun.
K v Sure this is odd:
Fur ’mong the foremost he is one
•In praising God.
Ahl from my window I discry.
The melancholy reason why
Poor Bob neglects his friend on high ;
This morn, so bright,
No more will beam on Bobby’s eye
The morning light.
Bobby, you’ve made a quick retreah
When yestere’en you sung so sweet,
. 1 fondly hop’d you’d oft repeat
Your happy strain;
But, ah! your voice will never greet
My ears again.
How must their cries have pierc'd the air,
When bringing Iwme their daily fare.
They found no little robins there,
The load to take !
How couldst thou, boy, so blest a pair
So wretched make I
r m A r /. „
With What distracted heart* of woe «
Your parents wander'd to and fro,
Had the poor mourning couple known
That in a cage you dwelt alone,
Thither, no doubt, they would have flown
Have nourished thee.
But Bob scarce knew what parents were,
Ere he was stolen from their care ;
And so lie quickly learnt to bear
Ah ! Bobby, I am mortal too*
And, while this vale I journey through ;
Hcav’n make my life to human view
As fair as thine ;
That I may leave a guide like you.
To bliss divine. FLORIAN.
To find their all i
Sure never did a heavier blow
On parents fall.
To set you free,
Or else, till thou wast fully grown,
Hadst thou a human soul possess’d,
That verily had now been blcss’d ;
For ev'ry soul’s a welcome guest
Where seraphs glow.
That, in a grateful, guileless breast,
Has dwelt below.
His alter’d state ; •
And from my hand to take his fare,
Held by the grate. '
And Bob was never mov’d with irS,
To find himself immur'd with wire;
Nor did he more of good desire
Than Bondage gave i
And yet, no doubt, that demon dire
Prepar’d his grave.
Though ehort thy life, poor Robin red,
A better sure was never led ;
None, pure as thee, have cause to dread
Grim Terrour’s King;
For ne’er was in thy heart or head,
A wicked thing.
But in a prison didst thou die, (
With not a pitying creature by,
To shed a tear or heave a sigh, t
For thy decease;
But, Bob, thy master will supply
A grave of peace.
Hadst thou ne’er known what slavery meant,
But in the groves thy moments spent.
Still might’st thou’ve liv’d in calm content.
Thy friends among,
And bless the Sire Omnipotent
With thy sweet tongue.
But, Bob, with freedom ne’er was bless’di
Ere yet of wings for flight possess’d,
A cruel boy dumb to his nest, 1 '
And stole the brood.
While their fond guardians were in quest
Of needed food.
What hat firodutrd the sueceoe qf the
Federal Ticket!, at the late Election! in
Perhaps, If in the wood you'd died;
Your parents, with a tender bride,
And many robins red beside,
Had mourn’d your doom ;
And to your lifeless frame supplied
A leafy tomb.

who might be called to places of high tnat
by our political opponents, is proof enough, ’
that unless their party ilrdour Were dorop*
ed by some other considerations, personal
objections would not have prodnerdthfr '
falling off which has been experienced,% '
But there are other reasons of a general ,-A
nature, which to men of observation and
reflection must have been expected to pro
duce embarrassment if not disgust in th*
minds of the pdrty, except
among the leaders, whose objects are mere
ly selfish. •
One is—the experiment has been fairly
made, as to the advantages to be derived
from talcing the management of our pub
lick concerns from Federalists, and giving
it to those who had pr imised to do so much
better. That experiment, every man in
the community knows, has resulted in a
series of the most perplexing and ruinous
measures that ever a nation at peace ex
perienced, without producing the hast ap
pearance of any good effect, upon those, who
were to be brought to our terms, by regula
tions which cost us such immense sacrifices.
"1 he gross mistake which our rulers havp
made, the failure of their views, and their V (
being compelled to abandon their foolish
and destructive schemes, after inflicting on
the people, privations more severe than at
tended our struggle for independence, have I l 'l
been remarked and deeply felt by al| '
classes of citizens. Three years of varied >
self-punishment left us, as to our foreign , ■
relations, worse than when the process be- j
gan, and as to our situation at home, im
poverished, embarrassed and degraded,-.
That all this should cool the seal of thosp
who had confided in the promises of the I
ruling party, was certainly natural and to i
be. expected.
Another cause, undoubtedly a powerful 1
one, was the language which the demo
cratfek papers, with scarcely an exception, I
have held for many months past, with re
spect to the men raised to power by their
influence. The mass of the democratick . ! i
part of the community were told by their
papers previous to the two last elections of
Members for Congress; choose the men s•'
whom we propose, and you will then be &
blessed with patriotic^legislators; men of L
pure minds, and uncorrupted motives, who I
will conduct our poJiticaHsark with honour
•nd |pcurijty, and diffusp happiness through 4
W l * "for a. consider apt* jpyg, . .
we have read of nothing in those very pa- t
pers, so anxiously enforced, by both decla- “1
mation and argument, as the incapacity and fl
corruption of the “ tenth and eleventh Con* ,
Brett.” Traitors and tools were the com- 1
mon Appellations bestowed on who
had been recently recomtpended wi!b tlte
most unhesitating confidence ; and the re- . 1
publican party as they were denominated, '
were urged to abandon them and support a
new nomination. That people thus cujoled H|
and trifled with, should be in doubt wlut to £
believe, and how to act, cannot be sur- B
prising. They were assured by thoe pro- *
fessing to be honest, that they bad been in- 3
at rumen tai in giving the nation a set of le- ■
gislators, who were devoid of principle, 9
who had sacrificed our honour, and brought ■
upon us the contempt of the world. Yet. 1
they chose them at the recommendation of ■
the very prints which ask their confidence 9
anew. That numbers of those thus insult- fl
ed, should be willing "to try once more J
what Federalist! could do," (which wo a
know has been the undisguised language of fl
many,) and either vote for Federalists, m
or not vote at all, was a natural const- fl
quence. v
Another cause, we presume has been, ; ®
that the people know the exertions of the
Federalists have relieved them from the J
miseries of the Embargo and Non-Inter- J
course. They see in all the , 1
papers, that those measures are still ap- 'jJ
plauded; and that nothing will prevent '.M
their being resumed, hut by opposing the iyl
election of men, whose most vauntetLquali- Fi
ficatioo is, that they are hardy enough jo M
set the will of the people at defiance, and
would have kept on the Embargo with all J]
its curses, without a sensation of compunc- 1
tion. ' J
One cause more, we shall mention, which
must, in reason, have had some effect and
must operate throughout the Union, among
men capable of learning wisdom by the ex
perience of others. The atrocities which
have been discovered in the dondutu of
many, who ranked highest among the de
mocratic!; party—were loedgst to thiir
abuse of Federalists—and the ntoat nrdeht
in their professions of disinterested regard
to publick good. Embestlemenf* of pub
ikk money, forgery, robbery and,perjury,
have marked the triumph of democracy M
