are many honest men, who love their

Jefferson and his friends exerted ell
their influence 10 supplant the federal
administrations, and one great argu-
ment with them was, an useless and ex
pensive Navy. When Mr.. Jefferson
came into power, did he manifest the
same zeal for the peoples interest No.
He projected gun boats, which swept
the Treasury of an immense sum, and
whose only use seems to have been, to
pursue tke government officers who
have fled from the country with the
peoples treasure.
The system Of Gun-5oats is now a.
bandoned by the very men who were so
clamorous in their praise and for
what reason They have been an use.

FRENCH INFLUENCE.
An occasional sketch.1

A strange misconception appears to have
prevailed in the public mind, respecting the
object of the author Of the Letters upon
French Influence, which were lately pub
lished in this paper. It seems to have
been supposed, for what reason he knows
not, that he had undertaken to prove that
Thomas Jefferson had catered into an a.
grcemens with the emperor of France, to
govern the United States in subserviency
to French policy. But the " French In.
auence." the existence of which the writer
intended and still intends, to demonstrate
was of a different description. The writer
uniformly declared that he expected only to
make it manifest, that Jefferson had admi-
nistered the executive department of the
government, under the influence of fear
of France, an unreasonable prejudice a
gainst Great Britain, and, he might and
ought to have added, devotion, perhaps
a sentimental and sincere one; to the Chi
nese, anti-commercial, and Napoleon de-
mocratic system. Jefferson, also was great
ly influenced by desire to preserve his
own popularity, which he could not make
up his mind to sacrifice to the interest and
honor of his country.
On the 18th of May, 1905. Mr.. Pinck.

HORACE is an author souniversally
and Justly admired, that, notwithstanding
many complete translations have been made
into English, almost every classic student
has been DESTROYS of adding his name to the
number of those who have, by their elegant
and correct versions, shown that they have
Eelt the force of sentiment and the suayity OF
which prevail in so peculiar man
ner throughout the lyric effnsions OF this
admirable bard.

mired Ode of Horace should be thought
worthy of insertion, it is at your disposal.

And the Nymphs an,!-Graces next
With alternate step advance.
Vulcan, meanwhile, at his forge,
