tending to ufc them as tools, for lifting them
£ selves into power and office, fend after the
democrats get into office, is any thing done for
the good of the mechanic and industrious poor
man ? Nothing is done for them in our coun
try nor was there ever any thing done for them
in any other country. In the democratic re
public ofFrance they were pressed into the public
service tied back to back, and forced out, to
join and fight in their armies. Genuine lib
erty like every other good thing in this life is
not placed in extremes. it i a middle Cate
where the law rules, to protest every man in
his person and in his earnings : Should demo
cracy ultimately prevail it: the Juited States of
'America, of which serious appreherfioos are
entertained, there is an end to genuine liberty,
' a man may work, toil and labor but he will not
he certain of enjoying the fruits of his labor
himfelf nor can he tell b, whom his earnings
will be enjoyed. —A wretched profpet, this for
those who work for their living, one which we
sincerely hope will never be Realized.

Comfortable Cpnfo!ation at the Close of life.
When the brave Sir George Rooke was mak
ing his will, some friends, who were prelent.ex
preffed their surprise that he had not more to
fever " Why, (said the worthy man) Ido
not leave much ; but what I do leave washon
c^ly acquired, for it never cost a sailor a tear,
nor my country a farthing."
A lieutenant of a man of war who war
„r, fond of fine terms, having received or
ders from the captain on fare, to fad the
cutter for him instead o' the barge, told the
boatfuain to bofyone the barge, and expe
dite the cutter. The rough unlettered fa
of Neptune ruminated feme time upon rhe
lingo without making it out ; at length he
luckily thought it related to sane ofhrs crew,
and Replied to the officer, that postpone was
ill in bit hammock, and expedite was gone
on fare.
EXTRACTS
From the Rev. M. L. We^m's Hiflory of
the Life of George Washington.
An OFFICER said one day at head
quarters, that in his opinion a field of battle
called for valor not virtue. " There is no call,
" fir," replied Walhington," prior to that of
" virtue, none of comparable magnitude and im
" portance. By fighting we serve our country;
'' by virtue we serve him who made us, we
" ferye mankind, we serve ourselves, and even
" we serve our country the better in the article
“of valor. For how a man can fight in a bad
" cause, and under a guilty confeience, Ido not
“ know. Under such circumstances I think 1
" Ihould be the strict coward alive; but give
"me the bappinpfs to live and to fight, so as
" to have God on my fide, and I hope I (hall
“ never know fear."—This is near a-kin to a
noble sentiment of a great captain in former
ages," I fear toy God, 0 Abner, and knpw no
other fear.
" The patriotism of the Roman Emperor, A
lexandcr, has been celebrated through all ages,
becapfe he was never known to give any place,
through favor or friendfhip, but to employ those
only whom both the senate and himfelf looked
upon as the bed qualified to serve (he country.
In our Washington we meet this great and hon
cft Emperor over again. For in choosing men
to serve his country, Washington knew np re
commendation but merit; had no favorite but
worth. No relation, however near, no friends,
however dear, flood any chance for places under
him, provided he knew men better qualified to
till them His great foul wasfo truly Republi
can, so perfectly abhorent of every thing like fel
fifhnefs, that during the whole of his adminif
•ratior he was never known to advance even an
individual of his own name and family."

DEMOCRACY has always ended in tyran

I ELL me, where's the vi'let tied,
Late so gaily blowing,
Springing 'neath fair Flora's tread,
Choicest sweets bestowing ?
Swam the vernal scene is o'er,
And the vi'let blooms no more !
Say, where hides the blushing rose,
Pride of fragrant morning ;
Garland meet for beauty's brows,
Hill and dale adernjog ?
Gentle maid, the summer's fled,
And the hopeless rose is dead !
Bear me then to yonder rill,
Late so freely flowing,
Wat'ring many a daffodil
On its margin glowing.
Sun and wind exhaust its store ;
Yonder riv'let glides no more !
Lead me to the bow'ry shade,
Late with roses flaunting ;
Lov'd resort of youth and maid,
Am'rous ditty chaunting.
Hail and storm with fury shower ;
Leafless mourns the rifled bow'r !
Say, where hides the village maid,
Late yon cot adorning ;
Oft I've met her in the glade,
Fair and fresh as morning ?
Swain, how short is beauty's bloom !
Seek her in the grassy tomb!
