THE SLAKE.
[From Ander/m's Poems.]
TORN from every dear connexion,.
Forc'd across the yielding wave,
Tbe negro flung by keen reflection,
May exclaim man's but a slave.,
la youth gay hope delusive fools him, _1
Proud her vot'ry to deprave ;
In age felt interell over rules him—
Still he bends a willing Have.
The haughty monarch, fearing reason
May her fon's from ruin fave,_
Os traitors dreaming, plots and treason,
Reigns at bell a fcepter'd (lave.
fife minion, Honesty would barter,
And become corruption's knave ;
Won by a ribband, tlar# or garter,
Proves himself ambition's Have.
Yon patriot boafy a pure intention,
And of rights will totally rave.
Till filenc'd by a place or pension.
Th' spoliate fits a courtly flare.
la pulpit perch'd the pious preacher
Talk's of confidence wond'rous grave ;
But not content, the tithe paid preacher
Pants to tail, mitr'd Slave.
The soldier, lord by founds of glory.
Longs to thine a hero brave ;
V And proud to five in future story,
Yields his lite—to fame a Slave.
Mark yon poor miser o'er his treaftire,
Who to Wants mite ne'er gave,
He, four out from peace and pleasure
- . Starves— to Avarice a Slave./
Tbe lover to his mifreG bending, i
Pants nor dares her hand to crave I
Vainly fighiog, time mifpending—
Wi&fom thorns the fetter'd Slave.
Thatdop'd by fancy, pride, and folly,
Ne'er content with what we have ;
Toil'd 'twixt hope and mel mcholly.
Death at last sets free tbe flare.
The SHEEP and the BRAMBLE-BUSH.
A thick twisted break, in the time of a florm.
Seem'd kindly to cover a sheep :
Ao Snug for a while, he lay Sheltered and warm.
It quietly footh'd hjmaueep.
The clouds are now (battered, the winds are at
peace,
The (beep to bis pefture inclin'd ; j(
But ah! the fell thicket lays bold of his Reece,
£fis coat is left forfeit behwd.
My friend who th? thicket of law never try'd.
Consider before you get in ;
Though judgment and fence are pafifti on your .
tide,
By Jove you'll be fleec'd to the (kin.

PASSION fol fever of the mind, whichever

old or maQoeG and infahity ; and Indeed they are
so much alike, that they sometimes cannot be dif

The firft step to moderation is to perceive that

A paffiouate temper renders a man unfit for ad
vice, deprives him of reason, robs him of all that
is great or noble in bis nature, detiroys friendship,
changes justice into cruelty, and turns all order

found he possessed the usual excellencies of tbe

sailor, however, (having been undipped twice
with very little ceremony, in the length of half a

upon a very whim Gcal mode for curing the im

PHILADELPHIA, MAP 16.
From the Aurora.
We several weeks ago gave a diffedion of the
political parties which composed the Senate—at
that period, tew were aware of the importance of
th& display ; at a future day we (hail exhibit the
parties by names, and shew the changes whici
have taken place, and endeavor to develops the
causes of the recent difmiffion.
Tbe three parties are now known by their de
fignations. \
The Republicans,
The Adamites,
The Pickerraians,
The latter party confills of those who have
leagued with Hamilton— and are eably designated
by their English connexions, by politics—educa
lion—secret views—tamely connexions, &c.
We candidly coutefe that we have had no com
munication concerning their proceedings, for fe
veral ot thole who were at the famous caucus at
Mr. Bingham's were not invited to Mr. Read's.
One measure, however, appears to have been a
necessary consequence, of this meeting, the con
tinuation of fenno's paper.—For it will be re
membered that it was upon Mr. Adams's with
drawing the printing of his d fcourtes upon Da
vi&Uom Feimo, that the latter published his re
loliftiou to relinquish the paper. Again upon the
rupture in our cabint his party linking he publish
ed a faoLar resolution.

In Fenno's Gazette of Wednesday, Mr
Jefferfon is called in express terms " an
Aihcilt and a Traitor." I remember Gua
det at the Jacobins in April, 1792, in
pronouncing a panegyric on religious toler
ation, quoted a laying of one ot the Roman
Emperors, who being desired to punish with
death a person accused ot blasphemy, replied
Deorur, Injuriae Diit curae; 6 ' the (rods wili

Robespierre regularly went to Mass ; but

Frederic the Great of Prulha, toward the
close ot his reign, "was Ihewn a libel patted
on the walls ot hi, palace. Not being so
tall as Mr. Jefferfon he read it with difficul
,ty. It was witty and severe ; andfo tar
, it was diflimilar from the Cobweb paragraphs
from the (pider like brain of Fenno and his 4
coadjutors, Who are proverbially hull, tilth,
and malignant'.Frederick obfarved, %„§

^m mbQ jam idu. Mr. Jefferfon neither
^nas, nor needs a fence of the thorns & briars
of the law round his character. He does
not keep in pay a hireling advocate as the
fetfbe prosecutor either ot important trv,
or luligniticant/a^b^d. Hence the sec%,„

Tcurriluus detraaors. Let those men sanc
