Mr.. SHIRLEY,


The Exhibition at Bowdoin College 10 Bruns-
wick On Tuesday last afforded much entertainment
to the writer and he believes to the audience.
Nineteen young gentlemen OF the Senior and jan
ior classes performed.
Such was the equality of merit, it might seem in
vidions to discriminate. The subjects were in
teresting, and generally snch unfoded the chol-
ars degree of requirement in Classic learning ; the
stiIe pure, nervous and manly; devoid oil over
strained Metaphor or obscure allusion the senti-
nents oh aste and elevated ; unsuied by any tinc-
ture Of that levity Of thought which sometimes des
polls the scholars page of its beauties. The CON-
position evinced, the young gentlemen had taken
the higher walks of ancient and lnodern literature,
and manifested a solid morality, and in no ordina-
ny degree research into divine truth. The eocu-
ton was graceful and emphatic; unincumbered by
excessive gesture, and much aided by a perfect
commitment of the parts; and convinced us that
oratory gaining its deserved reputation with the
youthful volaries OF science.
We were happy to learn the greatest harmony
exists between Instructor and Pupil; and that
there is regularity and application within the
walls of this institution, which the pledges
OF future improvement.
We wish it prosperity and patronage.

HENRY KiRKE WHITE.

AMONG the numerous literary productions of
the present day, there are justly celebrated
as the remains OF Henry krke White. We can
scarcely find modern work, where fancy
on Dolder wing, where beauty, purity,& elegance
intimately blended. The first efforts of
our young author evince that exalted genius which
was not satisfied with exertion until she had doom
ed her willing votary To an untimey grave. His
muse departed the midst of her Inspirations: she
had been often tuned To mlancholiy numbers, and
her dying notes were lost in melody.
There was mixture of simplicity, of touching
pathos and elevated piety, in almost every effort
OF his mind he copied from nature his lv st ina
ges, his sensbiliy was exquisite for 1t proceeded
from the heart; his religion was that OF sublime
ticipation, prompted by humble hope. Misfortune
was the constant companion of his early years, yet
his genius not confined by circumstances The
caprces OF fortune, may for time have checked
his ardour, yet he soon rose =" stronger from his
fail."-Amiable in his manners, his character was
douby interesting, from The reflection, that all his
principles were founded on rigid virtue. Sincere
in his friendships, the goodness Of his heart while it
won affection, commanded applause. He was new
er borne into the tide of pleasure, by the darkest
prospects he sought no solace in excess, he look
ed for companion in the licentious crowd such
an assenblage OF exceencles, are seldom united in
one person but it was the peculiar happiness OF
White to possess them ALL 1t was the recolec-
ton OF those that enabled him to endure win for
ttude the pains OF protracted sickness to look with
-yomposure the progress Of disease, and at last
J. nlmly resign his soul to HIM who gave il.

COMMUNICATION.

The advocates of separation are extremely
disappointed but they may console them
selves, as the Argus says, with the reflection
that they have done their duty, meaning Their
utmost. There never was more done in ia
YOUR of a measure where so little exertlon was
made to oppose it. The people of Maine
were contented until an organized active par
ty undertook 10 persuade them that they ought
to be uneasy. What has been the effect oil
their arduous labours There are about one
fifth Of tue legal voters Of 'lalne in favour Of
eparaion-sCarcely more than the number
who signed the petitions last winter. 1t is
evident that an immense majority are against
it as they ever have been--and no artificial
excitement has been able to blind them to
their own interests. Portland, Hailoweli, and
Augusta have considered themselves as the
destined Capital. They have made ali posi-
bic interest in favour OF separation, and little
has been done to oppose them. Without their
influence, the votes in favour Of the measure
would have been few indeed. As it is, there
will probably be small majority of the votes
given, in favour of Separation, not because
the people are Indifferent to it, but because
they understood by the Resolve, and knew,
from the nature of the case. that the Legisla-
ture would require considerable majority OF
the voters of Maine to express their approba-
ton of the measure before they would sane
ton it. 1t is supposed, and as to some of the
counties known, that decided majority of
the counties Of Lincoln, Hancock, Penobscet
and Washington, have voted against Separa-
ton. This is about two thirds of the terrific
yo Maine. 1t is also understood that a
considerable majority of the Representatives
Of Maine are opposed TO the measure. Under
such circumstances the warmest advocates OF
Separation cannot expect it. The Legisa-
ture, even in setting off part of town, always
require majority of those within the limits
Of the proposed town to ask the favour before
they will gram it. The Legislature is an
enlightened and Independent body, and they
will not be improperly influenced. The peo-
pie of Maine ought TO ne, and will be satisii-
ed with their decision.
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser., 1816-05-28

Others answer, all that 90 not vote will be
considered as neutrals. Many of those OPP
posed to separation have construed the re-
ealye TO intima te that the silent will be coun-
ted againstit; and under this impression staid
al home. That many separationsts put the
same constru ction upon the resolve is certain
else why the hue aud cry against it why
call / an infamous rider to the resolve,
and abuse the man who proposed it ? If this
has been the construction ought not the Lee
gislature to be appnzed o. It and ought
they not TO tell the people of Maine what
they did mean and give those who acted I'M
der false impression an opportunity to ex-
press their opinions openly on SO important a
question Thousands have been influenced
ty that resolve to stay at home supposing
tbey should be counted against the measure.
Had not this been the case the result of the
late canvass would have been different, and
instead of a majority in the District in favour,
il would probably have been against separa-
lion. Many of the large towns interested
in the coasting trade, beguiled by this
construction, have not turned out but should
this attempt fail and another be made, the
coasting interest will be reused and turn ont
10 man to oppose separation from the old
Bay State.
A great number of those who did not vote
in the County of Lincoln and elsewhere-but
who are decidedly opposed TO a separation,
are getting up remonsrances TO be presented
TO the Legislature the approaching session--it
is hoped that their example will be followed
throughout the district. A VOTER.

Increasing the United States Navy.-By an
act OF Congress of the 2sth of april the sum
OF one million dollars per annum for eight
years is appropriated for the purpose of build
ing nine ships to rate not less than IA guns
each, and twelve ships TO rate not less than
"A guns each.
During the administrations of Washington
and Adams, when the navy consisted OF about
halt a dozen irigates and a few small vessels,
the democrats in Congress were constantly
clamourng against 1T; they called it g the
beast with big elly"--denounced the adj
vocates OF navy as monarchis S, and declar-
ed that the measure was calculated to Cypress
the country with enormous taxes, and that il
the government were permitted to 90 ON build
ing navy it would be mean oil destroying
the liberties OF the people. If such were the
fears OF the democrats when the navy OF the
United States consisted OF six frigates and a
few armed brigs and schooners, what must
they be when the navy is increased 10 the
extent contemplated by the present admins
tration ?-Wl.ateyer effect the measure may
have on the Liberties OF the people, one thing
IS certain, III the present state of commerce,
the expense of the military and naval estab-
lisament will have very sensible effect upon
the purses of the people.

flal obedience and fraternal affection were ever
conspcuous--his noble qualities instructed every
circle, that was honoured with his presence. He
was ever attached to study, and the degree of i'm
provement he made, was proportionate 10 his ex-
ertions. He had ardour for application, which
nothing could abate: literature had erected her al
tar in his mind and ascetic was more sincere in
his adorations-But alas while sacrificing to in
tellect, he became himself the victim. He fell while
officiating her shrine, and sealed bis reputation
with his blood Thrown on the sea Of adversely,
he maniuy wthstood the rage of its pillows, but
was cast lfeless friendly shore. He lived
only TO know the value of his requirements, and
lament the price with which they were purchased.
"'JUas thine oiCn genius gaze The final bloW,
Ind helped 10 plant The mound that laid thee leu
So TIE struck eagle stretched upon he plain,
No more through rolling clouds 10 soar again,
VielCed has 0tolt feather on The fatal dart,

Keen oere MS pangs, bit keeaer far 10 feel
He nursed The piaion ictiet impelted the steel;
While tie same pttasage that had warnied his nest

There is something in the early death of White,
that excites pleasing melancholy in our minds
The winter of life was past, and spring had begun
to dawn on his prospects; but spring had no charms
for hin--she nursed for while the expiring flame
of g lies sckly taper,n yet exhausted nature SON
yielded to her fats. Such was the exit of Henry
nirke White. NJ marble only would extend his
fame, and the silent memorials of friendship, per-
petuate his talents, then trensory would be tue
efusens oil bis genus-But his tomb IS the universe
and wherever piety and literature are held in
veaeration, his memory will be cherished. 5.
