Nesvs from a far country.-We are fire.
qusntly indebted to newspapers printed at a
distance from the seat of government, for po-
litical information ofthe highest importance,
The Virginia Argus contains an essay signed
" Melviiie," from which We extract the fol-
lowing passage:
Can we believe, Mr.. Peasants, that there
arc in .4nlerica, .inieric0ns so base, prohigate
and nnprinciped, SO dead to their A9uor and
interest, as TO form themselves into society,
in which tue interests ofGreat Britain are dis
eussed and provided for Such is the fact,
how strange soever, it may appear. Lloyd,
HIllnouse, Chittenden Pickering and q had
had almost sadly Randolph, have fear Joined
the corrupt phalanx Their whole endeavor
seems to be, to illustrate the steady councils
OF the nation, and to subserve the interest Of
their hackneyed mother!'
Now man must be shockingly addicted to
scepticism who can doubt what is so solemnly
asserted to be .tacf. And it must be noto-
,fous fact, too, or Melville" weuld doubt
less have produced something in the shape Of
hrocf We confess, small matter of evil
dence in support Of the assertion might not
have been improper. Thus, for instance, as
Mr. Iiillhouse lives in Connecticut, and Mr..
Pickering in Massachusetts,, both considera
bic distance from Washington, We should like
to be informed svhere these discussions take
place: 1t must be extremely announcement fol
Messrs. Lloyd, Chttei,den, the othergenle
man (whose name Melville " almost" mention.
ed) to be travelling to s. fro to hold these consul
tations. However, no good republican viii
bicycle at such trif1es.-Let any person think
seriously cf this affair. Here we have par.
eel of men troubling for the interests of Grea,
Britain and what makes it still worse, they
do it contrary to their own interest +: they
don't get cent for their trouble /: not soil
taly English guinea is distributed amongst
them. What pity it is that Mr. Pickering
did not perceive his I" interest in time to fiji
| the vacancy in the supreme court of the U
States ! But your old men are so blind and
stubborn I'VE Can't imagine for our souls
how these men have contriyed to cherish q
mortal hatred towards their native country
| we never could have expected americans thus
| to encroach upon the exclusive and valuable
privileges Of other PEOPLE. Are they not liable
to prosecution for infringing upon tatenl
rights 2

THE PARADOXICAL WEDDING.
4 wedding there was, and a dance there must
be,
And who shoulddanc first they all did agree !;
Old grandpa and grandma should lead the
dance down,
Two fathers, two mothers, should step the
same ground;
Two uncles youchsafe with nicces to dance );
With nephews to jig it, it pleased two aunts;
Two daughters there were, arr danc,d with
their sircs,
The room was so warm, they needed no fires /;
Tw, sons there were, and danc'd with their
mothers;
And likewise two sisters who danc,d with
their brothers );
Three husbands there were ana dane q With
their wives,
And so they must do perhaps al their lives ::
The grand daughter chose the jolly grand
son,
The br de she would dance with the bride
groom Or none.
A company chose, their number to Tx:
| count them all DER and find them but SIX,
All honest and good, from incest quite free,
Their marriages good play how can that
be?
