The agents of Britain, like fiends in disguise,
Have kindled the fire of faftion around us ;
Yet uniw'd by the flame, we united arise.
To pull down the Babel that drove to confound us.
All intrigue is in vain,
We'll united remain,
Remember election is liberty's base,
By which noble charter our freedom we cherish :
At the helm of our nation then Jefferson place,
That our free Confutation and right ne'er may
perish,
Still America's pride
In her,caufe has been try'd,
And he in her councils was born to preside.
That ne'er may the Jons of Columbia be flares,
Whilst the earth bears a plant or the Jea rolls its

THE ORPHAN BOY's TALE.
• 'STAY, Lady—day, for mercy's fake,
A o '} hear a helpless Orphan's Tale :
Ah, fore my looks mull pity wake,
'Tis want that makes my cheek so pale !
Yet I was once a mother's pride,
And my brave Father's hope and joy :
But in the Nile's proudlight he died—
And 1 am now an Orphan Boy I
I'&>rJ'oolifh child, how pleas'd was I
' When news of Nelson's vi&'ry came,
Along the crowded streets to fly,
.And fee the lighted windows flame !
To force me home my mother fought,
Shacould not bear to fee my joy; .
^OT with my father's life 'twas bought—
And made me a poor Orphan Boy !
Cloak'd up in religion they've nothing to fear,
Intrigue there may triumph, and vice be defended,
How true to their God, and nir laws they appear,
Whilst destroying that freedom for which we con
tended,,
Like the serpent of old,
Whild arrayed in gold,
The arrows of death and deftruaion they
hold.
But ne'er will the sons of Columbia be Jlaves, &c.
Atfreedoms fair temple fee Jefferson (land,
Firm and unmov'd by the thunder of faction.
Let all true Americans join heart and hand,
Tp aid, to promote arid support his election.
His much lotted name,
, And his virtue and fame,
In glorious drainsto the world we'll proclaim.
And ne'er shall the sons of Columbia beflaves, &c.
By art more.than arms, our foes have long try'd,
To lead the brave sons of Columbia in slavery ;
Their 'force we've withstood, and their power de
fy’d >, £
And repuls'd each attack with Republican bravery.
Though our internal foes,
Our freedom oppose :
Our firmnefs and zeal to the tiniverfe shows,
That ne'er will the sons of Columbia beflaves, &c.
Calumny and falfhood, fn vain raise their voice,
To blast our Vice-President's fair reputation ;
But Jefferson dill is America's choice,
And he will her liberties guard from invasion.
'Tis the wretches who wait,
To unite Church and State,
The names of Munroe, Burr, and Jesse R
SON hate.
But ne'er will the sons of Columbia be slaves, &c.
And our rightsand our liberties ever maintain.
And ne'er will the sons of Columbia be jlaves, &c.

A NEW SONG.
JEFFERSON & LIBERTY.
Tune —Adams & Liberty.
YE sons of Columbia who cherish the prize,
Which the arms ofyour fires so valiantly gained,
Like the fun unobfeur'd may your glory arise,
And your liberties flourjfh forever unearned.
Whilst Mars clad in gore,
Bids the far thunders roar ;
May freedom and peace bless our own native
fliore :
And ne'er may thefons of Columbia ^flaves,
Whiijl the earth bears a plant or the sea rolls its
waves.)
The people's Ihouts were long and loud;
My mother, fhudd'ring, clos'd her ears :
'' Rejoice, rejeice," flill cried the croud,
My mother answer'd with her tears !
“ Oh, why do tears deal down your cheek,"
Cry'd I, <' while others shout with joy ?"
She fcjfs'd me ; and in accents weak—
She,call'd me her poor Orphan Boy! . ;
. “ What is an Orphan Boy?" I laid ;
When suddenly flie 'gafp'd for breath,
And her eyes clos'd ! I Ihri&'d for aid:
But, ah. Her eyes were clos'd in death !
My hardships iince I will not tell :
But now, no more a parent's joy,
Ah, Lady, i have learnt too well
What 'tis to be an Orphan Boy!
Some folks creep into the nuptial noose—some
canter—and others gallop. One of the latter de
scription, (a jolly freeholder of Merionthfhire)
called a few days ago upon a profeffional gentle
man at Bala to give inftruaions for a marriage
settlement, which he ordered to be executed in
three hours. This was on the Wednesday—the
parties kept Bala fair on the Thursday—on Friday
they were married—a son and heir popt into the
world on Saturday—-the young Cambrian was
christened on the Sunday—and thus those impor
tant events which some dull dolts are years in ac
complishing were run over by this brilk couple in
a very few hours.
YUHEREAS the Legislature of
V V this State passed an A& on the 27th
day of December, 1799, entitled “An %
to.refrain unincorporated banking associations"
—by which, the further operation of the
NEW-HAMPSHIRE UNION BANK
is prohibited from and after this day ; and
the Stockholders, by said a&, are made lia
ble individually to be called upon for pay
ment of the Notes of said Bank, although
the obligation expressed in the face of said
Notes is, to pay the fame " at said Bank :"
—Be it therefore known, to all Per
sons, who are, or may be possessed of said
Bank Notes, that the fubferiber will attend
(the usual hours) at the room where the said
Bank was kept, for the purpose of redeeming
said Bank Notes—a\fo for receiving payment
of all monies that are now due, or that shall
become due to said Bank.

confidence mould betray ns,even though we were
good men ; for good men have failed purely from
a good opinion of their own date ; for a good o

and negligence temptation, and temptation a fall ;
and, if unrepented, a fall into that state where
our firft wi!h will be that we never had been born ;
and (worse dill !) where there is no last. Pain is
sometimes so great even here, that we lose our
