Virginia has been frequently represent.
Ell as foremost in producing the divisions
wh'ch lately destroyed the peace and har-

administration of Mr.. Adams, it is true,
Virginia soas foremost in opposition. 1t
was within the walls Of her legislature, a
determined stand was made against the
lederai torrent, which poured in on every
SIDE: IL is to the exeriions of Madison,
Giles, Taylor, and other worthless, we
owe the dissolution Of the federal faction.
The mild, yet dignifed, resolutions or the
Virginia assembly, carried conviction 10
every man not blinded by prejudice. The
people read, the charm was broken, and
'ioerty once more smiled OH the American

FOR TIE .6RGUS.
AN ELEGY.

Hard by the porch, beneath the cave:
A little Partridge bory'd lies;
D. wept and dug his grave,
And. now he never more shall rise.
His little heart, late warm with love,
Alas! is now as cold us clay;
ttisnervous wings no more shall move,
Nor bear him whirring Far away.
Yet he no harm had ever done
! No blood OF Innocence had shed;
His life he passed and injured none;
I No punishment had ne 10 dread.
Nowin the copse his widow'd mate
Exerts her voice, and whistles sbrill;
But she>for him no more need wait:
No more he'll met her OH the hill.
Ills little babes forIorn shall rove,
no fathers voice their steps 10 guide
they'll wander careless .hro' the grove.
While danger threats on every side.
No more he'll lead them 10 tie plain.
here yellow grain all waving crows
Or to the barn, with plenty ti;sd,
While ali The plain is white with SHOWS.
Then letshe partridge share orr signs
FOR shortly we like him shall die:
And let with grief our bo,oms Use,
w lille pity drops fam ---'s eve.
