EVENING WALKS.

1t has become a very prominent article in
the theories of our careful mothers in New
England, that night air is extremely prejudi-
cial to health, especially that it produces a
very deleterious effect upon the delicate con-
stitution of their daughters. Hence, many
of our youth, especially the female part, are
denied the luxury of that train of thought
and feeling, which an evening walk is calcu-
lated to inspire.
No one admires, more than myself, that anx-
iety and tenderness for children, which
reigns in the maternal heart. There is some
thing in it that commands the vagrant wishes
of the youthful mind, and chains the rowing
thoughts. But, Notwithstanding the utility
of this principle, implanted by the God OF ma
ture in the mothers breast, il may pass its
proper bounds, and exert an unhappy inf1u-
ence on the opening mind. Children should
be INDUCED in those exercises, which are cal
culated to expand the soul, and warm the
heart Now what can be better adapted to
this, than occasional evening walks? There
is something in the very stiffness of night, fit
ted TO control every passion, and lead the
mind to profitable contemplation. BY view
ing the heavens, the moon and stars in their
order, and considering them as so many wheels
IN one vast machine, the universe, the mind
is imperceptibly borne beyond them to their
great Author and we feel at once, as did the
pious psalmist, when he said, 8 What is man
that thou art mindful of him." &c.

bly, be more generally preferred ; yet it is by
NO means improbable that Mr.. Clay will re-
ceive the greater number of votes.
After all, however, this is extremely loose
conjecture. In the course of two years, the
prospects Of the several candidates may be
materially changed. There is danger that
the friends of some of them may ruin their
patrons by over-acting. There is much zeal
that is not " according to knowIedge."-
Some of Mr.. Adams's partizans, for instance,
are striving to impress upon the minds of the
ultra-denocrats, that be will go all lengths in
prosecuting party schemes--that he hates fed
eralists most cordially. Now, although feder-
alists expect no peculiar favour from him, or
from any other man who may be elected to
the Presidency, it is hardly to be expected
they will unite in the support of any individ-
ual, who shall succeed in satisfying the coun-
try, that he would be the Chief of party
rather than of the Republick. Their voice
may be not unimportant; and they probably
would have no difficulty in finding a candi-
date, who relied upon different recommends
tions for support.
The approaching session of Congress will
probably give new interest to this important
contest. 1t was apparent, during the last ses-
sion, that there was much discussion, profess
eddy concerning the "publick veal" which
had reference primarily to the Presidential
election. The Rip-Rap" contract was
dragged to the light, probably for the purpose
of crushing Mr.. Calhoun by the weight Of
odium which it was adapted to excite. The
6 unavailable funds'' of the Treasury were
scrutinHed with an eye, sharpened by desire
to expose the intrigues, (if there were any,
of Mr.. Crawford. And, "last, though moi
least,' came the Duplicate of the letter from
Paris, aimed at the devoted head OF Mr.. Ad.
ANS. More examples of such legislation will
probably be afforded at the ensuing session
and, as g the contest thickens,'' the combat.
ants will seek less to conceal the direction
Of their weapons.
In the mean time the people may profit from
the strife. Whatever may have been the OBJ.
jedts of the measures just alluded to, the pub.
lick good was unquestionably promoted by
them. If Mr.. Calhoun has not sunk under
the weight designed for his shoulders, still
many plunderer of the publick will have
been deprived of I" the means by which he
lived" Though Mr. Crawford yet has parti
zans, still the Treasury will be more carefully
guarded. And though the missile hurled a
Mr.. Adams,

yet the people of one Congressional Dis
trict have been thereby enlightened as to til.
character of their Representative.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

BdrnstabLe District.-It is now ascertained
that Mr.. Reed, the present Representative is
re-elected-so that, of the ten Districts in
which choice has been made, all but one
(suftolk) have reelected their present Rep
resentatives. We regard this as favourable
indication of the views of the people on the
subject OF their Representation in Congress.
Essex South is the only District in which both
the candidates are "new men," In Worces-
ter South one of the candidates has never
been in Congress; but, if the people are true
to their own interests, he will not be elected.

but not without opposition. learn, with
much pleasure that JOHN w. TAYLOR, late
Speaker of the House of Representatives, is
reelected to Congress. He is man of whom
New-York may be proud and yet his cleo
ton was violently opposed by what is called
the " Buck-tail'' party, which is now FREEDOM
inant.
The rapid decline of Gov. Clinton's popu-
larity is almost without parallel in this coun-
try. New-York has certainly attained high
character under his administration Whether
it will be maintained under the new order of
things, seems to be generally doubted.
