The Printers return their Thanks
to correspondents.
We have to acknowledge the receipt of many,
productions the last few weeks, which have not ap

time and room to acknowledge.
Several Political Essays have been laid aside for
reasons that would be satisfactory to candid writers,
but which arc improper to lay before the public.
Had the numbers of “ Philo" reached us a week
or two earlier, they should have appeared in the
Paper. At that time they would have proved valu
able. *
PRINTERS ON THEIR OWN AFFAIRS.
The continually increasing patronage the paper
has received, demands their sincere acknowledge

Bills at eight, are particularly thanked. It is
through them the Printers have been enabled to
grapple with a very heavy purchase and support a
very expensive establishment.

Ihe career of this gentleman to literary gl%y, though not
early, was lure. 1 ill a period, when moll had finifhed
their coarse of collegiate duties, he was known only as a
fabaltern m that feminury. At the age of 24, he was ad
muted a member, and during the term of his probation as
a student he demouftrated his claim to intellectual diflinc
#f'"'""ding the tide of oppofiog fortune, he beat
till he had manifested an undoubted title to pre
' was in due time chosen a profeffor of Oiien
terature. In that fixation, his ardour
s unrivalled. Not limited to the lines
ji ambition embraced the whole range of
'^ °y ture, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, Per
v ogether with the most modern languages
^ ed within the circle of his pursuit. And per
in in this country had advanced farther, or made
g r ,\ ,' uft:ic °cy in these departments. In this current
of fuc-fr and splendor of menial glory, a florm lowered,
.u^ued and confounded the radiance of his hemisphere.
TWrerolutionyy conflict, which fhobk th, country to its
centre, and fuilied the serenity of many a noble mind, was
too powerful for a system like his, accustomed to the calm,
and wearied by labours at the midnight lamp. In that
irritating and interring contention, his mental with his
corporeal powers, we,e worried and enfeebled, and like the
mountain oak, whefecreft had been blasted by the light.
Ling and temped he flood for many years. Qrugglin^ with
the form, which seemed to have-gone by him, but which
bad blighted his glory, ^ even sh .ken the trunk which had
taken root for immortality. Had he sustained the shock,
bis talents and indußry wouH have enriched and glorified
hi< country, by labours, which would have adorned his mem
ory with literary laurels, not exclusively his own, but those
of posterity. Os his private virtues as a friend and adviser;
of his sincerity and discretion in his luminous hours, one,
not many years since a student at the University, with oth
ers, can bear tearful testimony, equally ready to correct and
advise the wayward follies of youth asto frown and chastise.
One who had long known him in that capacity, and who
has felt the sincerity and icteligence cf his hcait and mind,
""b^ reafonfat enthroned would pay a humble tribute of res
pect“ to a memory dear," And while a foul long oppressed
oy the cumberous shackles of clay, now released from its
tremulous restraint, mingles with kindred inteligences in
purer climes , he is to follow those brilliant rays of virtue,
roduftry and talents, which now and then beamed resplen
dently through the fbadows of a benighted mind, to thafe
regions where the films of mortality are wiped away, and
qualifications like his are fare to thine in their native luftre.
