TILE SUN IS SET !

Iftne following extract from the Farmers
Cabinet, a taprr on both SIDES, should be
read by MIR. jefferson, late President OF the
United States, he will find no difficulty IN
recollecting who it was that sat for the pic
sure. W. sincerely hope, however, that ne
will not be tcrmented III his retirement by
those remorses of conscience to which allu-
sion is made in this ingenious piece. God
grant that his gray hairs may 50 down IN
peace to tie grave
In one respect Mr. Jefferson has certain
" been a man more aiiaea against tIlaH s1's-
hlng. He has been ruined by +" man wor-
shin" as Mr.. Lyon calls it, by the adalation
ot the multitude. In this muititudc and It's
miserable, victim, we realize the following
exquisite description Of the poet OF the ask:
1t is the a5ject property OF most,
That, being parcel OF the common mass
nj destitute Of means to raise themselves,
1,be, sink, and settle lower than they need.
They knew not what it is 20 tecl "ltiilh
A comprehensive faculty, that grasps
Great nnrposes with case, that turns "leias
Almost without an effort, plans too vast
For their conception which they cannot move.
Conscious ofimpotence they soon grow drunk
With gazing. when they sec an aoie ',''''
Step forth 10 notice, and oesotted thus'
Build him pedestal, and say, !" ota'lo t". :,

They roll themselves before hlm III the aus''
THEN most deserving in their own account
When most extravagant in his applause
As if exalting him they rais'd themselves.
Thus by degrees, self cheated OF tneIr SOUND
/; And sober Judgment, chat he IS but man.
They den1i-deify aud fuine him so,
rbat in due season he forgets It too.
