Fix'd to one principle, he heeds no more.
The public welfare is the bound of pow'r;
By this are faction's fair presences Ihown ;
By this ambition's haughty aims are known ;
From this supreme, unviolated law
Nor force can wrest him, not a world can draw.
Not fa the men who, light and falfe of heart,
With aim prepofterpus, act a double part ;
Who, slaves to pow'r or prostitutes to pain,
Their God and Mammon would unite, in vain ;
Whose fortunes, friendships, families, estates,
Eogrofs their fouls, and leaven each debate.
, Who Serves his country, not for love, but pay;
Would, for a bribe, his country too betray.
Trbfflfelfijh ends alone his ads proceed ;
He ne'er regards the merit of the deed.
Ye faitblefs pleaders of the people's cause,
Who cove?grandeur and who court applause :
Whole looks the print of truth and virtue fliew,
While spleen, ambition, avarice, lurk below ;
Know that no wealth can bless, no pomp can
grace,
No titles dignify a heart that's base :
©reatnefs arid gold ill got refufe to shine,
Soil the polluted blood, and taint the line.
Be frugal, Temperance your best support,
Nor beg th' unhallow'd bounty of a courts
Bled patriot worthies ! if my pen could ihew
What lacred fervors in my bosom glow,
Each muse Ihould here her precious unguant Died,
To crown the living and embalm the dead.
MR, Parker
SOLID REASONS why CALEB STRONG SHOULD
be ELECTED GOVERNOR.
Firfl. BECAUSE he has been pompously
„ nominated by a secret influential party, in the
State House, who arrogate to themselves the
importance of matters ; and it is your, duty
as good feruants, to obey your maflers.
Secondly. Because if be is elected, he
will be dignified, by a long firing of arifto
cratical pretty titles ; such as the Honourable
Caleb Strong, Esq. whereas if his republican
plain opponent is elected, he will only be'
called one Gerry, &c.
Thirdly. If he is oot elected, you will
give much offence to the Britilh Minister
and all the tories, and surely it would not be
prudent to give offense ; especially as the
firft is fokind, as to suggest hints to our
councils, and the latt#have the goodness to
fill the most important offices.
Fourthly. Because he is the confidential
friend of Mr. H—n, and confcquently a
prop to virtue, morality, and religion, and it
you chufe Mr. GERRY, you will be very
properly hunjed in all the monarchial pa
pers, as a set of disorganizing, anarchial Ja
cobins. '.
Fifthly. If you chufe him, yourgovernor
may have .a salary adequate to the support of
his high and protid Ration, which you will
no doubt, pay with gladness, as the taxes of
your Rate are already so inconsiderable,
whereas if you ele& Mr. GERRY, he may
probably be inclined to reduce and not en
large the douceurs of office ; and all places
of economy, so infufferable in the eyes of a
monarchal.
Sixthly. You would have no hefitatiori
in electing him, because he is a lawyer, and
'may take the trouble occasionally to make
laws to keep you iq due obedience and good
order ; whereas Mr. GERRY is so old
fafaioued and indulgent, hewill only think
of tfe letter and fpjrit of that copilitution,
whis was written in the blood of your he
roes, Mr. Strong also voted in the senate
of the United States, for the Britilh Treaty.'
. These unanswerable reasons ffiould be affix
ed in the public places, in the State of Massa
chusetts. Politia optinia ts illa, quee felicia
tatem maxirne promovet.

From the Republican Star.
THE PATRIOT.
Unfkilful he, to fawn or seek for power.
By dollvines fajhion'd to the varying hour.
,VILLAGE PREACHER.
WHEN vile corruption, like a general pest,
Spreads her rank influence wide, from breast to
brealt.
Expiring freedom druggies with the chain,
And public virtue yields to privategain.
One gulph immeirfe of bribery un&tface,
Absorbs alike the noble and the bale ;
Whmzeal is whim, and principle pretence,
And Sordid felfifhnefs alone is sense ;
Fain would tb' adyent'rous muse, to merit just,
Redeem the patriot's honor'd name from dull.
The ruling passion in the patriot's bread, ,
That moves and guides, and animates the rest—
By which his afts we judge, his truth we prove,
Is pure unmix'd benevolence and love.
If healing laws his country's wounds redress,
Or knaves betray, or tyrant, pow'r oppress,
He, like a public father, shares, we know,
With God-like sympathy, its weal or woe ;
He feels each grief (he's defin'd to endure :
Andras he feels, he nobly drives to cure.
