NETWORK, OCTOBER ~.

Gales on Lake Erie.-Capt Rogers,
of the steam boat Walk-in-the- Water,
under the date of October II, says, "we
have had very boisterous weather for the
last ten days. 1t has blown gale most
of the time-during which we have pass
ed and repassed, the lake without any
mislortune--while two schooners, the
Elizabeth and Franklin, have been lost,
and fear all hands on board persisted
There is no doubt but this is the case
with the former, and it is believed to be
so with the latter-her boat, part of the
vessel, and barrels which were on board,
have driftcd ashore"

FROM THE BOSTON RECORDER.
LICENSED RETiILEPS.

On Wednesday evening, between the
hours of Z and 8, as was passing
through Water-street, my attention. was
reused by the loud clamours Of female,
and the assemblage of a number of men
and boys. On inquiry, found that the
female had attempted to enter the shop
of {. licensed retailer" of spirits, for the
purpose of getting her husband home,
who is in the constant habit Of spending
his evenings and all his daily earnings at
that place on which she was immediate-
ly kicked ONT of the door By the lady of
the house, and the door shut on hcr--
while her husband, with a lumber Of
other choice spirits, was seen TO retire 10
n back apartment 70 proceed in their ne
furious purposes of revelling and licen-
tiousness unseen by the pasers-b,. I
presume this is only one among a thou
sand similar disgraceful scenes, which oc-
cur every night IN our metropolis; and
while industrious and worthy females
with their innocent children, unprotect.
cd and unfed, are compelled to soorry OFT
their existence in state of dcsertion and
starvation, these" licensed retailers arc
fattening on the daily earnings of these
wretched husbands and fathers. Would
not then, ask, the Selectmen be per-
fectly justified in refusing a licencc to
every man, who cannot give good and
sufficient bond to keep an orderly and
decent house.-Such outrages on the
feelings of humanity ought to be check
ed it would be holy work, and one
which would comport with the charac-
ter of HOWARD.

FOR THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.

MR.. sMRLEY-Many of the citizens of
Raymond, Baldwin, Oiisfield, Harrison,
and several other towns in the county of
Cumberland which had no delegates in
the convention at Gray on the 9th inst.
are, we are informed, not little at loss
how to understand the phraseology
made use of in the notice Of 10 doings
Of that convention published in the last
Argus, viz. "that the republicans from
the several towns in the county of Cum
berland met. &c. However it would
have been of very little consequence to
the citizens Oft the county, whether the
phrase made use of had been " the sew
cral towns, &C." or what we apprehend
could have better expressed the truth Of
the case, several towns, &c. provided the
selection of candidates for the senate
had embraced and combined the best
known talents for usefulness as legisla-
tors in the respectable county of Cum
berland. IT seems at present to be con-
coded by all, that the services of some
Of the most patriotic and enlightened
citizens of the county ought to be cal
led into activity in both houses of the
first legislature under the new Constitu-
ton, and that old political prejudices
and party names, ought on this interest
ing epoch, to be discharged from public
service. And we would, with due defer
cncc, submit, to the electors Of Cumber-
land, whether or not it is generally
known that the three gentlemen nomi-
mated at Gray for our first senators are
the most liberal, enlightened and capa-
bic legialators inthe county, If, as we
apprehend, truth will compel the elect
ors of this county to give negative an
swer to the above, we would then fur
Their inquire upon what principle of ex-
pediency, sound policy, or constitutional
right we are bound to support that nomi-
nation.--Frankly we say we admit of
no such principle, We know of no right
OF any one elector or body of electors
to dictate, or forcstall the vote of an in
dependent clector. The assumption of
such power would be poisoning the foun-
tain of national liberty.
II is true, union is desirable, but it
ought always to be union in the sup
pot of the best men, and best measures.
Its not only the privilege of the free
citizen, but it is his duty TO be watchful'
and vigilnnt for the public good. He
may well recommend to his fellow citi-
zens such men and measures as he most
approve> for their support-and this
privilege and duty being common to all
IN free state, each citizen is bound to
pay Just SO much regard to such recon-
mendations as, in his judgement, public
utility shall require, and no more.
Under the influence of this brief view
OF some of our political rights and duties,
we too, with that republican freedom
which is our birth right and which we
VIII never consent to barter for mess
pottage, will recommend to the sup

On the BuriM Of Sir JOHN Moore.

IN me DufWt q or JOHN NuooREs
Not drum wa. heard, nor funeral note.
As his corpse to the rampant we hurled
Not soldier discharged his farewell shot
Ger the grave where our hero was buried.
We buried him darkly at dsh l.of night,
The sods with our bayou "a ming,
With the struggling moonbean.s misty light
And our lau,horns dimly burning.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Not in sheet, or in shroud we bound him,
But he lay like warrior taking his rest,
With his martial cloak around him.
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not word of sorrow.
But we siedfastly gazed on the face of the dead
And we bitterly thought Of the morrow.
We thought, as We followed his narrow bed,
And smocihed down his lonely pillow,
That the foe andthe stranger would tread o'ei
his head,
And We far away on the billow.
Lightly they'll talk of the spirit that's gone,
And DER his cold ashes uphrad hin,
But little he'll reck. If they'll let him sleep on,
In the grave where Briton has laid hun.
But half our heavy tack was done,
When the clock tol'd the hour Of retiring,
And we heard the distant random gun,
That the foe was suddenly firing.
Slowly and sadly we laid him down,
From the field Of his fame fresh and CORY;
We carved not a line, we raised not a stone,
Bar we iefl him alone with his glory.
