POLITICAL.
ON EQUALITY.
That God has made of one blood all men, to dwell on the face of the earth, we have from good authority. But he has placed them in various climates, under very different circumstances and unequal advantages. Their faculties and capacities are as dissimilar as their forms and complexions; yet they are all men: generally speaking, all are capable of improvement, all are in need of government, and in all the distinct tribes and nations, some are found capable to govern. Yet superior advantages have no tendency to make one part of the community the just and legal property of the other.
In Europe we see governments founded in conquests, and maintained by systems naturally resulting from acknowledged slavery. In equality in privileges, claims, conditions and rights are as necessary to their governments, as equality is to ours. There can be no mountains without vallies, no lords without vassals, no landlords without tenants.
There could be no ecclesiastical dignities without the burden of tithes; no established churches, without creeds established by the voice of human infallibility; no artificial, factitious devotion, if the right or private opinion existed, or the privilege of free enquiry was countenanced.
Our constitution of government declares, "that no subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained in his person, liberty or estate, for worshipping God in manner and season most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience; or for his religious profession or sentiments." Here then the beggar at the gate, and the magistrate on the seat of justice, the high and the low, the rich and the poor, meet together as brethren, in perfect equality before God, who is the father and maker of them all. The clergy in Connecticut, with the president of their college, whose learning has become a burden to himself and a trouble to his friends, are attempting to have a religious formula, and an established creed. The attempt spread itself before the convention of clergy in Massachusetts last year, but found no advocates excepting the ministers of the county of Hampshire. We are too well instructed to be brought to believe that there is any unerring wisdom but in God, or any infallibility but in his word.
Our equality in civil rights is worn brighter and brighter by the exercise of it every day. The same laws govern the rich and the poor, the ruler and the ruled; there is but one ephah and one sheckel in the land. The man of wealth and the man of poverty, stand on equal terms before the tribunals of justice.
The rich man has a more extensive opportunity of giving his sons the advantages of education; but even here there is an astonishing degree of equality preserved. Our town schools, academies and colleges, are placed on a footing to invite the poor as well as the rich; and though it may not do to say that the advantage has been on the side of poverty, yet every one who attends to it will see, that our principal men in New England have arisen from poor families.
The means of acquiring property are most perfectly equal; and men who have possessed the first fortunes in the country have generally acquired them by industry.
This is the equality Democrats contend for. This is the equality that Federalists despise and ridicule. (Boston Chronicle.)
No event has more deeply interested the public mind than the fate of Selleck Osborn. His known talents, and his just character, give him a real worth in the minds of the best men of all parties. The attempts to aggravate the charges against him, to vindicate the insults he has received, and to degrade the friends who have supported him, have contributed to a powerful effect from his imprisonment. (Salem Register.)
HERE IS THE LIBEL FOR WHICH SELLECK OSBORN SUFFERS. Let candid men peruse it—not forgetting that all its parts can be proved to be true by EIGHT witnesses!!
REIGN OF TERROR.
Glorious effects of the Stand-up Law. On the last freemen's meeting day, Capt. Solomon Simmons, of this town, rose with the Republicans in voting for Assistants.—This was observed by Julius Deming, Esq. who looked directly at Capt. Simmons for a moment; and, observing that he continued to vote on the same side, twitched a Constable who stood near him, by the shoulder, on whose turning round, 'Squire Deming pointed directly and significantly at Capt. Simmons. Though this spoke denunciation as plain as signs could
speak, the Captain voted as before, all the while eyeing his persecutor in a manner which would have discouraged a man less persevering than 'Squire Deming.—Finding his signs not understood, or not regarded, J. Deming Esq. left his seat before they had gone thro' the nomination, and came round to the seat where Capt. Simmons sat. "Does Russell Hunt live with you?" said the 'Squire. "He does," said the Captain. "I wonder, if he has drawn out a crown bar for me," said the 'Squire. "I cannot tell," said the Captain—"I furnish him with iron, and he does business pretty much in his own way." "Capt. Simmons," said the 'Squire, abruptly quitting the subject of the crown bar, "you must call on me before you leave town to day." "I will if you wish it," was the reply. "You had better call on me, (said the 'Squire)—You know what I mean." To be sure, Capt. Simmons knew what he meant—and by and by the reader will know what he meant.
Capt. Simmons, undaunted by this conduct, voted as usual. After meeting, he called on 'Squire Deming, whom he found with two other gentlemen, and who, with little or no introduction, said, "Capt. Simmons, I suppose that you know that you owe me." "I do know it," said the Captain, "and I suppose it ought to be paid—do you recollect how much is on the face of the note?" "About fifteen dollars."—On some doubt of this amount suggested by the Captain, the 'Squire recurred to his books and files—the two gentlemen left the room—the note appeared to be for twenty dollars, besides a trifling book account. "Now, (said the 'Squire) if you don't pay me the cash this week, I will have two writs served upon you by Monday morning." "I wonder, (said the Captain) you did not mention something of this business to me when I saw you the other day, if you was so much in need of it?" "That is nothing to the purpose, (said 'Squire Deming, sternly) I have only to say, that if I am not paid every cent this week, I will send an officer after you, on Monday morning!" "Thank God! (returned Captain Simmons, firmly and feelingly) I am able to pay you, I have money by me sufficient to pay you, but I will not at present—I will pay it this week, if it suits me—I have paid you much money, 'Squire Deming, but this shall be the last!—you will not frighten me out of my principles in this way, if I am poor!" On this he left the house. The money was paid before Saturday night.
BY THE MAILS.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) AUG. 28. Extract of a letter from St. James, San-tee, dated August 24th.
"I never expected to have seen another gale equal to that of Sept. 1804; however in this neighborhood, we have witnessed a much severer one. On Friday night last it blew, if possible, twice as hard as in the last hurricane—you may imagine how hard when I state that there is scarcely a tree left in our yard; such as are not blown up by the roots are broken off, and the roads covered with trees. My rice being planted late, has not suffered so much, as it was just getting in ear.—Had it been three weeks later, I should not have made a barrel. My cotton is completely ruined, and smashed all to pieces, and I do not expect to make 10 bales out of 64 acres."
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 13. AFFECTING NARRATION.
Tuesday last, arrived here in the Mercury, Capt. Dolby, from Jamaica, Capt. Rofs, late of the sch. Vigilant, of this port, who relates, that he sailed from Cape Francois the 28th of June, with a cargo of coffee, for this port: that on the night of the 29th, he ran ashore on a Sand Key; in the morning Mr. Nixon, Capt. Bradshaw, with one or two of the crew took the boat to go and look for assistance, but never returned to the Schooner. Capt. Rofs, Isaac C. Rogers and the Negro cook, being left on board the wreck, remained in expectation of the return of the boat till Tuesday the 1st of July, when they found the Schooner going to pieces: they got together three spars, with which they made a raft, and put thereon some water and provisions, and left the wreck in hopes of finding some harbor or place of safety; they had not been an hour from the wreck before their raft upset, which threw them into the sea and deprived them of their little stock of provisions and every thing but what was on their backs; however, they all three once more got on the raft—on Wednesday night the second of July the Negro cook, leapt from the raft and was lost—about 2 o'clock on Thursday, the 3rd, Mr. Isaac C. Rogers appeared some what deranged and about day-break, next morning leapt into the sea, Capt. R. sprang after and replaced him on the raft: but restless and un-
easy, in a few minutes he once more threw himself into the water and was seen no more—thus was Capt. Rofs left in the wide ocean, on three spars, without victuals or drink, or a friend or companion to console or comfort his drooping spirits.
It so happened, that he had not long to reflect on his solitary situation, for about 10 o'clock A. M. to his great joy he discovered land, and drifting near it, about 6 o'clock in the evening, fearing he should pass it in the night, stripped himself, left the raft, and swam for the land, where being landed, he sat out to search for a drop of fresh water to moisten his tongue and to allay his fever; in vain did he wander from place to place till 10 at night, when wearied and fatigued, he laid on the sand, in hopes of sleep; here again he was disappointed by the shoals of lizards and other vermin, that tormented him. The day broke, and found him restless, and gave him no comfort, for he was now convinced he was on a sandy island, without house or shelter, without victuals or drink, or a rag to cover him, having left his cloaths on the raft where he stripped himself. In this forlorn state he once more sat out in search of water, which, about sundown, to his great joy, he discovered, with this he quenched his thirst, and sat him down, to look at his forlorn state, when hope, that solace of the distressed, was all he had left; here he determined to remain till providence should relieve him in that way it seemed mete.—Thus from the 3rd of July until the 21st, did he bear up against his misfortunes, his only food a few land crabs which he eat raw, and they were so scarce that he could not get more than sufficient to keep him alive, so that he grew daily weaker, till for the last ten days he was obliged to crawl on his hands and knees, and having nothing to shelter him from the rays of the sun, he was blistered by its heat, from head to foot, and finally the whole of his skin came off. Naked, hungry, debilitated and fore, hope had almost deserted him, and he only thought he should lay on the sand and die, when on the 21st of July, to his great joy, he espied a Schooner making towards his sandy beach, he with difficulty raised himself and waved a bush, which they perceiving, humanely sent their boat, and in a short time, snatched from the jaws of death, he found himself on board the Surveillant, Captain Rogers, of Barracoa; where he was treated with the greatest kindness and attention, clothed, and once more restored to health. While Capt. Rofs was on board the Surveillant, on the 25th, they captured the sch. Swift, Davis, from Baltimore for Barracoa; on the 29th, they detained the sch. Hunter, Steele, from Portland, for Jamaica; and the same day they captured the Swedish sloop Dispatch, from St. Thomas for New-Orleans; and on the 30th, put the crew of the Swift, and Capt. Rofs, on board the Hunter, then let her proceed on her voyage, and she arrived at Jamaica the 5th of August; from there Capt. Rofs got a passage in the Mercury, and arrived as above.
From the Baltimore Evening Post, of September 10.
By yesterday's mail we received from our regular and attentive correspondent at Natchez, a file of Natchez papers up to the 12th ult. from which it appears that the Spaniards are again becoming troublesome in that quarter. The subjoined extract corroborates the assertion.
HOSTILE APPEARANCES.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Natchez, to the editor, dated August 2.
"On or about the 18th of July ult. a detachment of Spanish troops, consisting of 308, under the command of Capt. Viand, the commandant of the Nagadoches, and inspector of the troops of his catholic majesty, in the interior provinces, arrived at the Caddo Village, near Red River, above Nachitoches, demanded information respecting the exploring party under the direction of Major Freeman, which had passed the Caddo village some days before, cut down and carried away a flag of the United States, which the Caddos had hoisted in their town, informing that the flag of the United States had no business there, and that that part of the country was within the dominion of Spain, and forbidding the Caddo chief to trade with, or hold any talks, or have any intercourse whatever, with the Americans. After which the Spaniards took their departure in pursuit of the exploring party, and informed the Caddo chief that they were going to take, kill or drive them back."
"We hear likewise accounts from Bayou Pierre, of the arrival at that place of colonel Errara, late Governor of Monterey, with six companies of cavalry said to contain 100 each, with several pieces of cannon, and that several companies of troops more are on their way from St. Antonio."
BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 18.
THE FLEETS. —Our coast it is probable will be the scene of a great naval enterprize, as the British fleet, as well as the French, are near the southern shore. The Melampus frigate, one of the fleet of Sir Richard Strachan, anchored in Hampton Roads on the 6th inst.
This fleet is composed of the Cæsar, 84 guns, Audacious, Belleisle, Belleona, Montague, Terrible, Triumphant 74's, the Melampus and another frigate.
It appears that Sir Richard Strachan, having heard in the West-Indies, that Admiral Willaumez was on the coast of America, and probably knowing the rout which Sir John B. Warren had taken, he lost no time in seeking the French fleet, and it is surprising how they have missed.
The following is a list of the French force: the Regulus, 80 guns, Veteran, do. Foudroyant, 84, Majestic, Eole, Impetueux, 74's, Patriot do. (now at Annapolis) President, 44, Valereuse, 40, (in the Delaware) Cybele, 44, (at Norfolk.)—Ledger.
Extract of a letter dated Norfolk, Sept. 8.
"Since ten or twelve days there has anchored here an English and French frigate. Both have been much injured by the late violent storm, and have come here to repair. It is said there are a number of impressed Americans on board the English frigate, which seems to be the case, as they will not admit any person on board, nor suffer any of their crew to land. Many of their crew have deserted, and we have frequently heard at night volleys of musketry discharged at those attempting to make their escape, and numbers, it is feared, have lost their lives by their temerity. The captain has said, as is currently reported, that it is a matter of indifference to him if they all desert, as he can get a sufficient number off Cape Henry. The English did not fire a salute when passing the fort, which is generally a custom with armed vessels, neither would they permit the Custom-House officer to board them, and yet they lay claim to all the rights of hospitality. The French, when passing the fort, fired a salute, which was returned by the fort, and will permit any person to go on board, and when on shore are very peaceable—the contraband, though diminutive, may apply to them nationally."
A Charleston paper, of the 2d inst. says: "The sch'r Poetcaligo Packet, Capt. Stites, anchored off the fort this evening, in 6 days from Long Island. Capt. Stites has brought in with him 2 seamen, belonging to a British ship, one of the last homeward bound fleet of Jamaica merchantmen; who inform, that almost the whole fleet, consisting of 150 sail, have been dispersed and lost in the late gale. Several of the ships were seen to founder with the whole of their crews. One of the ships was towed 2 days by Capt. Stites; when they fell in with a British sloop of war, who impressed all the English sailors, and burnt the ship. Two days since, Capt. S. fell in with the brig Ann, Capt. Corry, from this port for Havana, totally dismasted."
MIRANDA.
We learn by the brig Ontario, in 20 days from Curacoa, that General Miranda had effected a landing at Coro, but was afterwards defeated, and obliged to re-embark.
Capt. Brown informs, that it was reported at Curacoa that Miranda landed at Coro on the 10th August, without meeting any resistance, and took possession of the fort and town; But was afterwards obliged to relinquish his post—and that on the 19th he was at the island of Aruba.
Since the above was prepared for press, we have received the following extract of a letter, dated Curacoa, Aug. 18.—I take the liberty of acquainting you, that we have yesterday received by an express from Coro, the certain news of Miranda's having landed there three weeks before, with 2 ships, 2 brigs, and 7 smaller vessels, and after a severe engagement with the Spaniards, been routed, and had to take to his ships. Nobody knows what course he afterwards took. I mention you this, to be cautious, should you undertake any business on the main, as I fear the American flag will not be so well received there now as it was formerly.
N. York Mercantile Advertiser.
Capt. Barclay, of the ship George Barclay, from Liverpool, informs, that on the 30th of August, in lat. 42, 44, long. 52, 30, he was boarded by the British ship Leander, bound to Portsmouth, Eng. having on board, as prisoner, Capt. Whitty, formerly commander of the Leander.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1806.
Latest from FRANCE.
The Atlantic, Capt. Howard, has arrived at New York, from Nantz (France,) and brings information as late as the 6th August.
A TREATY OF PEACE Between France and Russia was signed at Paris the 20th July.—The articles of which had not been publicly made known. There was no doubt of the fact.
The negotiations with England were kept up.—A letter from Nantz, dated the 1st August, states, it was reported that the Preliminaries of Peace between Great-Britain and France, were signed at Paris the 26th July. The writer says, "this wants confirmation;" and we do not believe a word of it.—It is certain, no person authorized to sign Preliminaries, had left London on the 26th July.
A circumstance suspicious of pacification is the permission of Bonaparte for the exportation of grain to Great-Britain. The harvest in France had been abundant.
The little fortress of Gaeta, after a defence which had astonished all Europe, had capitulated.—Centinel.
MIRANDA.
The account of the discomfiture of Miranda, in Spanish America, though doubted by some, we consider to be true.—The water is very bad at Coro; and we are told, while a party of his troops were engaged in watering at Rio Negro, he was attacked, had twenty killed, 17 wounded, and lost some made prisoners;—and that, in consequence, he re-embarked, and had arrived at Aruba, a small island near Curacoa. It is said the only British ship with him was the Lilly.—ibid.
Letters from London state the expectation that Mr. Munroe, our Minister, would take passage for the U. States in the Sheffield to sail in August.
The Jesuits have been ordered to quit the kingdom of Naples. It is supposed they will take up their residence in Russia.
The Jewish deputies at the last dates were assembling in Paris, by order of Bonaparte.
A new city has been laid out at Samana, island of St. Domingo, called the City of Napoleon.
The subjoined extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city, is worth all the arguments, which Coleman and Bronson and the whole host of federal editors have wasted on the subject;
"Miranda's affair has produced much noise, and has furnished ample field for accusation against the administration. But whenever the subject is laid open to the public, I will venture to assert, that in similar circumstances no government ever acted with more propriety and good faith—Mr. Madison told me, that when spoken to by M—— the substance of his answer was, that notwithstanding present appearances, the American and Spanish governments were at peace: that under those circumstances, the American government would never countenance or embark in any enterprise of a secret nature; that if at war the measures of our government would be honorable and fair. He at the same time cautioned him against any infraction of the law, by which the peace of the country would be committed; as the executive was determined to lay hold of him. The strongest evidence of their innocence is the satisfaction of the French court; as you will see, by referring to the Moniteurs that arrived in the month of July." (Richmond Enquirer.)
As long since as four or five days we heard it rumored, that the marquis Yrujo had received orders from his master to insist on having his ministerial functions again recognized by our government—and if not accredited to demand passports and abandon the country. At the time we did not believe there could be any foundation for such report, but it now looks more probable—for what was thus slightly whispered in Baltimore, at the period stated, is now declared as fact in a Philadelphia paper of the 8th inst. However, if after the reprehensible and insolent conduct of Yrujo, and the manner it was noticed and resented, he should offer such insult to our government by authority from his own, we firmly calculate, that a spirited and dignified tone will be manifested by the executive, which will not only continue to reject Yrujo, but hurl defiance into his teeth and those of his master and his master's master too, if the latter should be leagued in a measure so hostile to the honor and independence of our country:—For surely, all who feel as Americans should, would freely risk encountering the most gloomy ills, rather than tamely submit to such degradation and indignity. Baltimore American.

Of the Kentucky Conspiracy much is said, but our limits will not admit all the communications on the subject. The Palladium of Frankfort, Kentucky, represents that the discoveries of the Conspiracy have taken full liberty to abuse and vilify any person who comes in their way. They think such insolence ought to be chastised, and they think to do it soon, would bring the shameful affair to a crisis. The Editor scruples not to give his opinion. He believes the charges audacious falsehoods, and as far as they relate to himself as employed by conspirators, malicious. That the whole is the work of a party. But as many things are insinuated and not said; as many things do not admit of evidence directly, the publishers of the conspiracy are called upon for proofs against Gen. Wilkinson, for proofs of letters said to be written, for proofs of journeys and conversation referred to in the charges, or of the presence of Gen. Bowles, at the time mentioned. Till these important questions are answered, the conspiracy is to be reckoned among the many artifices adopted under the cover of secret design, to alarm and perplex the public mind. And till the proper evidence is produced we shall feel ourselves at liberty to treat it as other former conspiracies, which have ended in delusion, and have no existence but in the designs of party. (Salem Register.)
We hear nothing more from Michigan. The return of Gov. Hull laid all the evil spirits which haunted that quarter. And like the return of a father, he has quieted all the fears which arose in his absence.
Distresses, for want of food and fuel, owing to the ravages of the late war, have arisen to such a height in some parts of Germany, as to produce actual famine and pestilence! "Blessed are the peace-makers;" and happy the condition of Americans!
The quantity of Beef eaten by the Frenchmen on board the Patriot, (lying off Annapolis) amounts to 700 lbs. and of Bread to the value of 60 dollars per day.
POWER OF TRUTH. It is now very well ascertained that John Allen, Esq. of this place, has absolutely seceded from federalism—and we are happy to add, from indisputable authority, that Judge Sedgwick, of Stockbridge late speaker of the national house of Representatives, and Senator in Congress, has followed the example. [Conn. Witness.]
In a very short time the republicans of Connecticut will look back upon the reign of terror, as the present period will be termed by our great grand children, with the same mingled sensations, only in a greater degree, that we feel on looking back to that of '98, the national reign of terror. Very soon, in speaking of the present doings in Connecticut, it will be only said such things were!
Mechanical Association. The increasing number and respectability of this Society is a pleasing omen of its future usefulness. A special meeting of this Association will be held on Thursday evening next, for the admission of several candidates. At the same time, an opportunity will offer for any others who may be desirous of becoming members, by their making previous application to the Secretary or either of the board of Directors.
The Association will celebrate their anniversary the 2d day of next month, when they will meet at Jefferson Hall, at ten o'clock in the morning, and form a procession, preceded by a band of music, and proceed to some place of public worship, where an address will be delivered by Mr. JOSEPH CLARK, Jr. Secretary to said Society, attended by solemn instrumental and vocal music, adapted to the occasion;—after which, they will proceed to Mechanical Hall , and partake of an elegant dinner, to be provided for the occasion.
His Excellency the Governor by advice of Council, has appointed Thursday the 27th November next, to be observed as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer throughout this state.
Extract of a letter from a Methodist Minister in the South, to one of his brethren in this neighborhood.
"You cannot fail to have heard before this hour of the great work of God in the state of Delaware; at a meeting held in said state about the middle of June last, there were 1165 souls converted; and at another meeting held since that time, there were 1320 converted; in all 2500 wanting 15; besides multitudes sanctified; nor need we fear, for the Lord is on our side. The work of the Lord is as the found of many waters going through the land, and it seems that the glorious day is approaching near. O King of Zion ride on."
In the late election for Members of Congress in this State, the Republican Ticket has prevailed by a great majority, although the meetings were in general, but thinly attended.
The following is a correct statement of the number of votes (exclusive of the scattering) that each candidate received—as taken from the records of the Secretary of the State.
   Republican. Federal.     Storer, 5695 Tenney, 3685   Durell, 5123 Betton, 2825   Smith, 5773 Thompson, 2838   Gardner, 5677 Ellis, 3625   Carlton, 5695 Hough, 3596  
A melancholy event took place in Templeton, (Mass.) on the evening of Tuesday the 9th inst. at the house of Eliphalet French, innholder; the house was struck by a flash of lightning, which took off the top of the chimney, and running down burnt into a room where there were eleven persons, who had just taken shelter from the rain. Mr. Edward Sawyer of Templeton, and a Mr. Seth Kendall of Athol, who took their seats opposite the fire-place, were instantly killed; the others were stunned and thrown from their places in all directions; they were considerably injured, but are in a likely way to recover.
MARINE. BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 20. The stem of a brig having "Polly of Portsmouth" painted on it, has drifted ashore at the southward. The southern papers are filled with disastrous narratives of shipwrecks, and sufferings by the late storms. The Jamaica fleet, of 150 sail, convoyed by one 74 and two frigates, experienced a gale the 25th Aug. in lat. 29, long. 80. The persons saved in the boat of the Jamaica man Frances, report that while in the boat they saw five vessels bottom upwards; and they suppose that one half of the Jamaica fleet must have foundered.
MARRIED. In Amherst, (N.H.) the Hon. BENJAMIN WEST of Charleston, to Mrs. FRANCES GORDON. In Newmarket, Mr. HENRY WIGGIN to Miss ASHIA HILL. In this town, Capt. RICHARD SALTER to Miss ELIZABETH TRUSSELL.

From the Providence Phoenix.  MR. PRINTER. Enclosed is a poetical effusion from the pen of Mr. SELBECK OSBORN , editor of that well conducted Journal the Witness . It is with pleasure I transmit you "The Sailor," knowing that the muse of this valuable and yet living martyr* of political truth, will never fail to delight the lovers of poetry, though he is yet confined in the gelid and sickly glooms of a Connecticut prison, we hope he will fill every duty of editorial employment, with the sprightly numbers of his lyre. The nightingale's best notes are in the shades of night; and it is said there are instances in which the confinement of birds in their cages, add sweetness and harmony to their notes. We can but indulge a hope that Mr. OSBORN , on his enlargement, will bring forward something that shall, at once, astonish the public and gratify his friends. We rejoice that, although he has been called to suffer perils from sickness and from the beasts at Ephesus , his spirits are not in any degree broken; that he has promised the public that he will employ "the last dash of his pen" in the cause he has undertaken and in which he has uniformly succeeded. In employing his happy talent of writing, his own mood, conscious of its merit, must enjoy that self-look of satisfaction, which may compensate, in a degree, the tediousness of imprisonment:—at least it would bellow emotions of relief to the minds of those who have read with painful sympathy, the account of his sufferings, and who view, with indignation and astonishment, that ill-fated policy, which though in a state of desperation, continues in the attempt to support itself by tyranny and persecution; whose forlorn apology can only be that of the unfortunate Dido to the Trojans.  Res ducit, et regni novitas me talia cogunt moliri—
THE SAILOR.
By SELBECK OSBORN.
THE weary sea-bird screams afar: Along the waves dire omens sweep; From the veil'd sky no friendly star Beams on the undulating deep! Hark! from the cliffs of distant shores The Lorn emits his dismal cry— The wave portentous warning roars, And speaks the threatening tempest night! What guardian angel's watchful pow'r Shall snatch me from the angry deep, Or bid in that tremendous hour, The demon of the waters sleep? Or, who, if on some desert wild I drift, weak, famish'd and distress'd, Shall hush the forrow of my child, And sooth the Lavinia's wounded breast. Sweet objects of my earthly love! For you with aching heart I mourn! Far from your peaceful vale I rove, Ah! hopeless ever to return. Yet should it be my happier lot To hail again my native shore, Secure, within my humble cot, I'll brave the restless deep no more. His prayer was heard, the rolling barque Rode thro' the storm with scorn'd pride; And WILLIAM, blithe as morning lark, Flew to his sweet enraptur'd bride. Yet WILL, with love and liquor warm, 'Tis yet a month had pass'd in glee, Forsook the terrors of the storm, And, singing squall'd away for sea.
* Martyr is a Greek derivation signifying a Witness .
MORAL.
The way to be happy, is to look down on those who suffer, and not upon those who shine in the world.—The comparison then would be so much in our favor, that we should cease to complain. So far should we be from repining at the unequal distributions of fortune, that we should sit down contented with our own lot, and be happy with the blessings we enjoy.—Our pride would be humbled, and our peevishness turned into pity: our murmurings would be hushed at the sight of others misery. A little reason and common sense would point out to us the absurdity of our pursuits, and prove how dangerous it is to follow the deceitful track. How happy then might people live, and what a figure might they make in the eyes of the world, were they to manage the liberality of fortune with common sense, and learn to despise the superfluities of it; from a want of this, springs all the unhappiness of this life, and from a careful observance of it, proceeds every satisfaction we can with to obtain.
Receipt to make a Beau.
Take any thing—put it into a pair of pantaloon just large enough to contain one dozen; put a binding on the top of the pantaloon (called a vest) and attach to the bosom of the shirt, an oval glass case with a wig in it; pare away the skirts of its coat to the width of a hat-band. If the subject is doomed to pass its time in the house, it will require a heavy pair of round-toed jack-boots, with a tassell before and behind. "Lift it up by the cape of the coat," "all its hair over its face, lay it on its forehead, and spectacles on its nose."
N. B. Its hands must, on no occasion, be suffered to escape from the pantaloon pockets, nor the spectacles from the nose.
