pure the motives and however plausible
the arguments of its supporters, cannot
fail to produce the most pernicious eff
fects. And cannot but hope that the
patriotism and good sense of many who
are now found in the ranks of the friends
of division, will induce them, after calm
deliberation upon its tendency, to spurn
the idea of seeking the promotion of any
imaginary interests of their own at the
expense of the general welfare.
NV sentiments on this subject are not
dictated by self-interest. Having no
property which can be particularly af-
fected by the division, my opposition to
it is the result of firm conviction that
such measure would be fragrant vio-
lation of the public faith, which every
citizen is interested in preserving invio-
late, that it would be productive great
inconvenience, and would materially in
crease the public burthens ofthis coun-
ty; and that it would constitute pre-
cedent highly dangerous to the future
harmony, prosperity, and improvement
of the state.
have thus, fellow citizens, endeavor-
ed to give you my ideas on the most
prominent subjects likely to come be-
fore the next General Assembly. Other
questions will necessarily claim their at
tention; with respect TO which | must
content myself with promising the UNI
wearied exertion of my best abilities in
promoting the general prosperity. A
cultivator of the soil, engaged in no
schemes of speculation, and depending
for livelihood on my own industry, l
have no interests to promote and no
wishes to crafty but such as are equally
the interests and the wishes ofthe great
body of my fellow citizens. To be
honored with their confidence would be
the source of my greatest qualification,
as to deserve it is the object of my high
est ambition.

POETRY.
FROM moNreoMnnr's OCEAN
THE SLAVE TRADE.


There are, gloomy Ocean brotherless clan,
Who traverse thy banshing waves,
The poor disinherited outcasts of man,
Whom apa,ice coins into SlaUes
From the homes of the kindred, their fore
fathers graves,
Love, friendship, and conjugal bliss,
They are dragged on the hoary abyss;
The Shark hears their shrieks, and assembled
to day,
Demands of the spoiler his share Of the prey.
Then Joy to the tempest that whirls them be-
meath,
And makes their destruction its sport!
But woe to the winds that propitiously breathe,
And wait them in safety to port
Where the vultures and Vampires Of mammon
resort:
Where Europe exultingly drains,
The life-blood from Africa's veins;
where man rules DER man with merciess
rod,
And spurns at his footstool the image of God!
The hour is approaching-a terrible hour!
And vengeance is bending her bow;
Already the clouds of the hurricane lower,
And the rock-rending whirl-winds blow;
Back rolls the huge ocean-Hell opens below;
The floods return head long-they sweep
The slave-cultur'd lands to the deep;
In a moment entomb'd in the terrible void,
Bytheir Makerhimself, in his anger destroyed.
Shall this be the fate of the cane-planted Isles,
More lovely than clouds in the west,
When the sun Ger the Ocean descending in
smiles,
Sinks softly and sweetly to rest
mo Father ofmercy befriend the opprest,
At the voice of thy Gospel of Peace,
sIay the sorrows of Africa cease;
And the slave and the master devoutly unite;
To walk in thy freedom, and dwell in thy light.

London, February l5.
We have received, since our last, the Pa
ris Journals of Friday and Saturday. The
intelligence they bring, respecting The pro-
gress of the Spanish lnsurrection, is of con
siderable Importance. General Freyre, on
the qSlh ult. had not marched against the
rebels. who according to one account, " are
fortified up TO the teeth. The alleged reason
for this delay is, the extreme reluctance on
the part OF the Government TO shed any
blood. and the hope that tranquility may be
restored without resorting to that extreme.
If this be policy, we have no hesitation in
saving il is bad, for clemency to traitors has
never yet been found a protection from trea-
s3n. We are afraid, however, the delay
does not spring from Tenderness, but from ne
cessi,y. General Freyle, either has not a
.uficiency of troops with which to encoun-
ter the rebels, or he cannot rely upon their
fidelity for admitting, even the pretext that
is urged, surely he cannot expect while ne
remains inactive at Seville, the Insurgents,
viii march there TO him, and lay down their
arms. he, on the contrary, should present
himself before the Insurgents, with if lie can,
a sups flor army and showing them that he
has the means to enfofce submission, hold
out the alternative OF pardon to those who
voluntarily surrender.
