THE OLD SOLDIER. ’
From Fox’# Artis# Achmed Ardebeili.
Rest awhile, disabled soldier !
Here some short refreshment take ;
Tis not fit thou travel further,
Sure thy wearied limbs Ihust ache.
Many a rude and rough encounter
Has thy dauntless breast withstood j
Mark’d with scars, thy pallied features
Tell me thou has lost much blood.
W«U I know the various hardships
Soldiers brave are doom’d to share i
Oft unheeded by aogpnatidera,
Who a different burthen bear.
1 have led to dreadful combat
Troops that nobly scorn’d to yield:
While the Ouzbbk’s savage numbers
Vainly strove to gain the field.
Grateful still do I remember
Wounded, sinking midst the foe,
One much like thee, gallant soldier I
Saved me from the threaten’d blow:
Smote the arm that raised the sabre
Ruthless aim’d against my life i
Bore me fainting from the conflict—
Then resumed the work of strife.
Never could I find the warrior,
Who thus nobly succour’d me ; j
But if I mistake not, soldier,
Thy bold visage, thou art he!
“ Valiant leader of the faithful!
“ Much 1 joy, thus day, to know
“ That the efforts of my duty
<( Saved thee from the raging foe.
“ In that day of dreadful slaughter
1 “ Many a valiant Moslem fell:
“ This ‘am'Mvma, then thnu gavest me,
“ Mark’d the fatal hour too well.
“ Three long years have follow’d mournful,
“ Since recovering from my wounds,
“ Home I sought—but home I found not:
“ Fate had run his gloomy rounds.
“ Love my soul had longunited
“ To a kind and gentle frir >
“ And one pledge of fond afleation
“ Raised our hopes, and claim'd our core.
•’Bui, alas! life’s fairy prospects
M Paas like summer-clouds away.
•• What is permanent around us »
“ Who can claim the coining day I f
“ Grief,-that flow’d from fatal tidings,
“ Led my sweet love to the tomb;
And ||>e darling boy was quickly
M Hurried to some unknown doom.
“ Thus afflicted, still I wander
” With an alutost broken heart .-
“ Sorrow more than wounds o’erwhebns me,
“ Doubt still points afflit tions dart.
“ What though poverty assail me,
“ Strength destroy’d, and spirits fled;
" Could 1 hear my buy were living,
“ Joy would raise my drooping head.**
Raise it then, long suffering Soldier,
Falsehood shall not here beguile;
Heaven ordains the sun of fortune
On thy opening views to smile.
Gratitude, of gold unsparing,
Bids thy wants exist no more.
Cease to sigh—a few short moments
Shall thy long lost child restore.
Not a little vagrant idler,
But endued with worth and sense ;
Well instructed—grateful for it;
He thy love shall recompense..
** Gracious Allah!” cried the Soldier,
** I am raised to life again.
“ Worldly glories fleet like shadows,
“ Good deeds evermore remain.”
Sia—The writer of this deems an apolo
gy to be both unnecessary and superfluous;
he avails himself of that privilege which,
thank heavea, still remains to all Ameri
cans, of freely addressing their rulers f
and trusts that in the present instance it
will not be abused. From your cradle up
wards, Sir, you weir beheld by your pre
decessor in office a* Uie person who shculd
succeed to the honour* of a station from
which the infirmities of age, or perhaps
sudden death, would sooner or later re
move him. The latter of the** causes
snatched him from th* weighty concerns
of publick life before hi* favourite plan of
succession was properly matured. Death,
the bitter draught which all mutt sooner
or later taste, came with tenfold bitterness
to him, inasmuch a* he saw hi* popularity
in the wane by the defection of some of hb
most influential partisan*, and the gradual
incraaaa uf a political sect, whom he had
Mtp oaased tt bat* for their integrity,

TO MIS EXCELLENCY
GOVERNOUR FENNER.
Political.
and persecute for their patriotism. But.
Sir, we have often heard that the prince
of darkness would not scruple to make use
of a passage of holy writ, when he might
thereby further his designs. The person
mentioned saw that possibly his darling
plan of succession might be answered if
his son could possibly avail himself of the
strength of the federalists; he was con
vinced that the disaffected part of the de
mocratick party could make no effectual
opposition to him, when supported by them;
the truth of this had been fully demon
strated, by the event of your competition
with Mr. Ellery for the Senatorial dignity.
But youth, he full well knew, needs the
counsel of age, (especially in the intricate
labyrinths of political intrigue,) he there
fore made choice of one, who had long en
joyed a part of his confidence, as your
foster father; that this man’s total want of
principle, was his chief recommendation to
that trust, is fully proved by his being the
principal agent in a banking fraud, which
has cheated the people of this and the
neighbouring States, of half a million of
dollars, (not to mention his support of the
disastrous paper money system.) ,
The year subsequent to the death of your
predecessor, we had no Governour; the
State, (already enough disgraced,) was
doomed during that time, to a superlative
degree of infamy, by the administration
of a wretch, whom depravity itself would
call depraved; and who, though once
driven into retirement by the condemning
hisses of the people, like the hateful bird
of night, presumes again to venture from
his covert, in the politioal obscurity by
which we are now unhappily enveloped.
Your Excellency's (political) foster fa
ther, saw that the time was now arrived
when he might acquit himself of his
charge, by courting the aid of the federal
ists : he therefore made the first advance
towards a coalition of the strength of the
Fenner party with the federalists; the
prox, at the head of which your Excellen
cy was to appear, was to be composed of
characters of both political sects. Let me
ask your Excellency what were the os
tensible reasons for this qoautiok ? Was
it not allowed, f ab initio,} that the object
of the union, waa the peace of the State at
large, by admitting men of integrity pnd
talents of ail parties, to a participation of
office} Though these were the oetentible
reatont of the political broker, who ne
gotiated the treaty on your Excellency’s
part, yet bo assured, the federal gentle
men were not ignorant of bis real motivet:
they could easily see that his sole object
was to bottler up a political tyro in the
chair of the Chief Magistracy. But the
federalists, Sir, ever having the good of
their country at heart, saw that by this
coalition they might allay the virulence of
party, and introduce many worthy charac
ters into office; they therefore agreed up
on the coalition ; and by this coalition only,
was it that your Excellency wts enabled
to attain your present elevation > Had the
federalists left you to your own personal
friends, you must, Sir, have contented
yourself with the Senatorial dignity; nor
would your conscience have ever taxed
you with perfidy and ingratitude to those
who have so long held the thread of your
political fate without the disposition to cut
it short. Some, Sir, have said that it is no
sin for you to desert the federalists, be
cause they knew your inducement for join
ing them. Permit me to ask your Excel
lency, if the monster who betrayed his
Lord and Master with a kiss, sinned the
less because his sin was foretold by in
scrutable Omniscience ? I now, Sir, in the
course of disquisition, will consider the
effects which the coalition produced upon
the community. These, Sir, were visibly
beneficial throughout the State ; the bulk
of the people being well satisfied with the
coalition, there remained but few to blow
up the flame of discord; party spirit seem
ed to subside ; men of talents and integrity
were put into office, without regard to their
iioiiiical sentiments ; justice was adminis
tered with impartiality, and people began
to look back with horrour upon the judicial
proceedings of former years, (recorded in
that ofiotculum, called " Tbe Blue Book,”)
and, Sir, men were elected for Congress,
whose eloquence speak tctye*.*nd dis
may to the supporters of a fltßhtptcd and
tyrannical administration. These men.
Sir, disdain the degenerate, the dastardly
phraseology of a venal apostate, who put
the ultima mantit to his infamous desertion
of patriotick principle, by declaring to the
world, that in any measure which the
(then) President should recommend, he
"would not deliberate," he " would aeU”
They consider, Sir, that their oatht will
not suffer them* like the mutes of an East
ern despot, to ” act" in dumb submission
to the orders of a law individuals, who are
fettered by golden chains to the interests
of frapoleon. But. Sir, the triumph of
principle, which the federalists obtained
by their conciliatory and moderate mb
duct, was too beneficial to be lastfifg; *
few restless, ambitious characters, beheld
the political tranquillity which pervaded
the State, with a hatred as malign ns I
rankled in the breast of Satan, when he be
held the happy abode of primeval inno
cence. The arch demagogue, whose pot
litical creed appears in upon his
whiskey distillery; the arUtocraikk de
mocrat. who furthers the faucifaj theorist
of •• liberty and equality,by uftfog <*»•
agency of a Cotton Mill, which will Ml •
few years contain a thousand slaves; and
the subordinate financier, who poseeesup p
considerable share of cunning without One
single requisite talent for office, (except
ing devotion to France.) and wboposaesar »/fl
ing an uncommon degree of sthletick vi
gour, is subject to the horrours if by chance
(for his friends commonly *pare his ex
treme sensibility,) he hears of nwr-tweeA
t'mr, caning, or any such
Tcese men, .Sir, were very uneasy at ftp
prosperous train of affaire in this State*
and their sabbatical consultations indict
that the portentous clouds of faction would
shortly resume their station la our political
eenith. To further their views against the
tranquillity of the State, these meuhadre
course to a new expedient. They well
knew that many of their followere were not
so lost to the admonitions of conscience aa
to adhere readily to every measure\which
should be proposed for the success of the
cause ; they therefore saw it was necessa
ry to stifle the faint struggles of coptyiqßCp •
by an oalA, that whatever should be voted
by a majority of them, should b* ypadily
obeyed. At the time, Sir, when th* kind
of liberty for which these people contend
was in the “ full tide of successful experi
ment” in France, when the bloody carcase
of the monster Marat reposed under a tri
umphal arch, and jacobin priests burnt in
cense under the noee of a prostitute, who
personated the Goddess of Reason, the
French party in this country formed them
selves into societies which .they called Jar
cobin Clubs. These clubs were intended
by their founder, (Genet,) |o awe the con
stituted authority into submission toFmnce t
but, appailfd by the voice of WasalNa
ton, they dwindled into contemptible in
significancy. When death had ctoeod ftf
eyes that once, like the lightning of hoav
en, flashed terrour and dismay among dev'
tnestick traitors and foreign foes, jacobin
ism, the fell monster who marches te Mid
fro in the earth, scattering the firebrands
of discord, once more showed her head.-tp
Anarchy, with hasty strides, stepped op
her heels, and, with the shrill clangour ef
her tocsin, prepares to give the madobd
signal, for the accursed crimes of homicipm
Despotism, the monstrous progeny of thosh
infernals, in one hand, shakes her clanking
chains at us, and with the other, points t»
degraded Europe.
Now, Sir, the advocates of France, in*
stead of forming jacobin clubs as
unite into Tammany Societies; pretend
ing to commemorate the virtues of Ch ab
original chief, who was friendly th our glo
rious revolution ; when, in fact, the only
inducement far these combinations io po l
IrticaL Are not all the office* of the Stated
and of the United States, disposed of in
the midnight orgies of these societies ?• and
do not the late publications in a paper, call*
ed the " Baltimore Whig/ ovfaoo tMp
the societies are intended by the W family
compact” of Baltimore, to dictate mead
sure* te our cabinet ? . S'
The Tammany Society, Sir, was estab
lished io this State, eat) by whom t
men, who have for years beeh your mdH
inveterate enemies; they are the enemiee
of all; their deleterious malice is direCtM
against every thing good, every thing bene
ficial to society. From the nefarious proOrf
tics of such mem id different parte of th*
union, is it. Sir, that a base and slavish int*
becHity has orept into those veins former*
ly turgid with patriotick blood, and that
the whole body politick se«*s on the vergW
of dissolution. But, Sir, 1 restrain my feel
ing*; my purpose was to offer some re
flection* upon your political conduct; and*
I beg pardon for the digressions into which
I have almost Invwhintarify strayed. The • j
Tammany Society vn formed by men,

whole hopes of political Miration upon

falsehood. For seme time, Sir/ it was
