The Tomb Of Crothal.

The moon dim'd her beams in feathering cloud,
AS she sml'd thro the star-sudded vault Of the sky;
And slowly the moss.covcr'd branches all how'd
To the breezes of night, moaning dsmally by:
When Der the long grass Of her loves narrow bed
The w-sprinked daughter of DAaco recu'd,
Forlorn on the grey stone she rested her head.
And sadly she sigh'd to each gust of the wind.
"Oh! where is the warrior tina, awfuiy rose
In his might. like the wide spreading oak on the
heath!
Alas the bright eye that Assl,'d fire on his foes
Forever is clos'd, in the suinber of death
In his hall not string Of his harp is stirrd;
The bands sit around, wrapt in silence and grief
And only the sobs of his father are heard -
Who shall comfort the sorrowing soul Of the chief!
Oh! where the boocsusted spear and the shield!
In indolent rest the wall they recline;
And where his dogs that fierce in the fe d!
Round his grass-tufed hioek they lngcrine whine.
o hear me! thou spirit of CRoTuAL, attend!
In pity look down the house Of thy rests
For thee doth the fastfalling tear-drep descend,
And ti.''.e she last sigh that escapes from my
breast"

commodation, which, if contrary, to
his orders, they would have known
ould not have been accepted by
his government Common sense
rejects all such insinua,ions and
that man must be the victim Of Gre
dulity indeed, who can for one in
slant believe that the secretary of
state or that Mr.. Madison would not
only risk their regulations, but place
in jeopardy great mass of property
belonging to their fellow citizens, on
the event OF so frail a compact
Besides, if Mr.. Erskine had been
weak enough to be their dupe, or
sufficiently wicked to combine with
them, he would hardly have sense
enough or be so honest as 10 keep the
secret.
The extract just quoted, which
thus libels the American govern

that passage of Mr.. Jackson's letter
wherein he presumes to contradict
the constituted authorities Of the u

SootHy iOlloW from VIC pECHlISeS
advanced Tby me-, and least of all
shooldi think Of uttering all insinu-
alton where was unable to substan-
tia.c fact" With determined per.
tinacity he adds, and in SO doing l
must continue Thus it is per-
ceived Mr.. Jackson has insulted the
government: he repeated the insult
after being told that i, was inadmis-
/ sble, and insisting on the untru'h of
he most unequivucal terms, openly
ind iripera.iveIy avowed his reso'u-
lion TO-" continue" the same conduct.
NThere was no possibility Of lorbear-
Eing any longer; it had become in.
1 dispensably necessary to cut him off
from the government, and according.
~ he was cut off.
The evasion which MIR. Jackson
afterwards attempted to palm upon
the secretary Of state is the basest Of
all sub.erfuges. Making use Of Mr..
Oakley's name, he says One of the
facts alluded to the communication
Of the conditions by Mr.. Erskine I
had been admitted by the secretary
Of state himself" and " that that u-
st1uction of January 2sd1 is the on
| ly one in which the conditions were
prescribed, is known to me-" He
then proclaims, that j, was for sta
ting these facts and adhering to them
that he was dismissed BY the presi.
| dent. So far from this having been
the ground for s.iscarding him. it is
confidently affirmed by the writer Of
this article that if Mr.. Jackson in his
letters to the secretary of state had
had advanced nothing more than what
he does in Mr.. Oakley's note, the
government of the United States
would certainly have taken no offence
at it. But Mr. Jackson's insinuati-
ons and assertions were Of very
different complexion. They were
nor that Mr.. Smith admitted one
fact, that Mr.. Jackson knew another
fact; but that Mr.. Smith having STA
ted to Mr.. Jackson. that " after the
explicit and percmptory asseverasion
that this government had no such
knowledge, [ofthe dispatch and that
with such a knowledge no such ar
rangement would have been entered
into, the view which you have again
presented of the subject makes it my
duty to apprize you that such insinu-
atoms are inadmissiblc :" Mr.. Jack
son replied, after other rcmarks,-
:. least of all should l think Of uttering
an iusinuation where l was unable to
substan,iate fact" A man so fully
convicted of prevarication can surely
have no credit with the public.
1t will be observed that the ground
of MI. Jackson's disgrace is not a
disagreement as to personal verScity
between Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Erskine.
or between MT. Smith and Mr.. Jack
son; bu, it IS exclusively question.
whether Mr.. Jackson in an official
correspondence with the American
government, was to be permitted to
call in question the veraci,y of the
power with whom he was treating /;
not whether Mr.. Smith told the truth
or whether hr. Jackson told the
truth; but whether the executive OF
the United States was to suffer itself
to be repeatedly and unequivocally
s,ipmatized with the impu:ation OF
falsehood, The pith and substance
of it is this Would private gen
tleman in negotiating any business
whatever with another person put up

6tillunre freshing brcathes the balmy gale,
hnd unregarded smiles the verdant~heio
Y What thus my bosom's wonted peace de-
stroysf
What lowering cloud of sorrow intervenes'
To draw veil DER life's serenest Joys.
And blast the prospect OF these 'alfy
scenes
ABsEscEl It's thy keen pang Fm' doom'dto
And natu e smiles in vain--depriv'd of her
I love.
TO Il LADyS KID GLOVE.
y Go, virgin kid, with lambcnt kiss,
Salute virgins hand !;
Go, senseless glove, and reap a bass'
Thou dost not understand.
Securely may st thou touch the falr,
Which few securely can;
May press her cheek, her lips and hair
And wanton with her fan.
May soach it with her to and fro,
To masquerades and plays; 81.
All could'st thou hither come snd sc,
And tell me what she says.
Go; Kid, and when the morning cold
Shalt nip her lily arms,
Do thou, oh dare be SO bold,
With kisses make it warm.
