POETRY.

Among the desperate partizans who made
themselves famous in the Indian wars of thi.
country, a Frenchman who assumed the
name of Wohawa, is one of the best known
After exhibiting numerous instances of ex-
cessiye cruelty against the American settle
ments, he was slain by party of his own
followers. Boston Ceatinel
NOHAWA.
His spur to the courser, his hand to the spear
,Unsoften'd by pity, undaunted by fear,
Wohawa came riding all plumed in his best
AS he drove his black charger Ger Norway
pine plain,
He met with yeoman he u ne'ermeet again
For, drawing his broad-sword, the light of its
blade
In the blood of the yeoman is really array'd.
His voice was the torrent, his eye was star,
His spear like the nofthlght sprung cleaning
afar,
Wohawa, Wohawa, thy garments arc red,
And thy hand is imbrued in the gore of the
dead
The day has its sunset, and pride has its fall,
Death is weaving, stern robber thy dark flow
ing pail;
The eagle has scream'd, and the voice of her
cry
Ias sounded where death quench'd the blaze
of his eye.
ALREADY, w ottawa, thy hearts blood has flown;
Thy Ratchet, Wohawa! no more shall be
thrown;
20 the pine of the mountains his relics they
hung,
And the blast through the bones of Wohawa
has sung

Declaration of independence.

WYE have no authentic copy OF this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, atleast, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satisfa c.
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, sill proud of their
MAGMA CHAR Ia, though every provi-
sionit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lshed edition after edition of this instrument,
each more Splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy of Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and
signatu' eshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, of King John
King Henry, and their " Barons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American hide
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations OF art as the Magma Charta OF
England and it the fac-smiles of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents of Iunius or of the arisocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
lsnt monarchs of the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration Of lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations az well as our own and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause OF public II.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
render an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will!
serve TO place it continually under the eye
of man. woman, and child in a family-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas Of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itself-and famiIiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of political society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such an edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst US al
the present day. Actuated by these views,
