We are at length enabled to present to
our patrons the first number OF the VIII
mingtonian. We at the same time pre-
sent our acknowledgement for the very
liberal encouragement received towards
our undertaking. which appears
to meet with general appreciation.
In a specimen number of this paper
which was issued in the latter part OF june
our views were briefly and explicitly sta
ted; and we shall now observe that theI
plan which we shall pursue and the rule
by which we will be governed, is thatwhlch
was adopted with SO much success by
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, which, we think,
will be approved by all.
"In the conduct Of my newspaper, carefully
|excluded all lbelling and personal abuse, winch
lhas of late years become SO disgracefui TO our
country Whenever was solicited 10 insert any
Thing Of that kind, and the writers pleaded Gas
they generally did) the liberty of the press; and
that a newspaper was like a stage coach, in which
any one who would pay, had right TO a place
,lmy answer was, that would print the piece Sc
|parately, if desired; and the author might have
fIas many copies as he pleased, to distribute him
,Isef; but that would not take upon me to spreat
Ibis detraction and that having contracted VIII
lmy subscribers to furnish them with what nigh
llbe either useful or entertaining, could not I'll
slther papers with private alterations IN whict
they had no concern, without dong them mani
'fest injustice. Now, many OF our printers make
no scruple in gratifying the malice OF individuals
by false accusations o the faires characters among
ourselves, augmenting anmosity even to the pro
|ducing of duels; and are, moreover, SO indiscree
. as to print scurrilous reflections on the govern
Iment of neghbouring states. and even on the con
olduct of our best national allies, which may be at
:, blended with the most pernicous consequences
'lrhese things mention as caution to young
: Iprnters, and that they be encouraged not to pol
lutte the presses, and disgrace their profession b.
y Isuch infamous practices, but refuse steadily, a
lthey may see, by my example, that such cours'
i ot conduct will not, on the whole, be injurious t
!; their interests"
6 This was the course pursued by the il
! ! ustrious sage, and to which we shall close
e y adhere.

that, on the contrary, the statement in question is

The Liverpool Courier of the 30th, in com

the Courier, OF the contemplated withdrawing of
the troops from before Cadiz Boureiesoult had

vicinity OF Seville, the bombardment might com.

SACRED MUSIC.

The following remarks from a communication in
the National In egencer will be acceptable to ma
ny OF our readers.
The 1esSioh and Judas .Maccdbeas, OF Handel,
and the Creation, by Haydn, are certainly the
9randes and most sublime efforts Of music. adapt
ed TO holy words-and these fine pieces do not
now despair to see one day, and that not far dis
tan, regular annual treat for the public ear.
travelling in Europe, many years ago, atten-
ded several OF these Oratoros; and my heart beats
with accelerated motion at the recollection of my
first feelings on hearing Madame Mara sing"i

Chorus, there were upwards Of two hundred per-
formers; | sunk nvoluntarily on my knees, in an
ecstacy OF feeling cannot now describe. The
duet, in Judas .MaccaJeas, by Madame Mara and
Mrs Bo'iington, "Oh, Solyma," melted me to
tears OF exquisite delight
Sacred vocal music is surely one of the purest
Inscriptions Of praise, and calculated to lift the heart
above the low concerns of the diurnal sphere. The
influence oil religious music is always felt, ard,
unlike most other qualifications of the senses, does
moi decay but ratt er increases with age. Amaory
and martial music please in youths gay prime, but
like all The sweet prlsmatic colors, which delight
us in meridian day, they become less attractive.
Age loves the meliowed light-the moons soft
beams. Sacred music, like social worship,
pands the heart, and we feel additional kindness

or experience common feeling In Church
music, cur feelings suffer but little change from the
pr ogress oil time we hear the notes applied
to the same sacred words which, from the earliest
years OF infancy have been familiar to us--these
airs which we recollect from childhood come pure
and fresh to the mind and always bring with them
ideas favorable to virtue, and in unison with devo
tIonal feelings; sacred music, accompanied BY sui
table words, has the effect to u discordan passions,
and the mind ascends with pious energy to that
Heavenly Choir, where 'thousands and tens of thou
sands of spiritual creatures singing everlasting
haelujahs'
1t has been observed by some one, that the great
charm OF music is, that its qualities SO

Oh Ireland my country the hour
Of thy pride and thy splendor hath passed,
And the chain which thou spuned in thy ofpower
Hangs heavy around thee at last
There are marks in the fate of each cline,
There turns in the fortunes of men
But the changes of realms and the chances oftime
Shall never restore thee again.
Thou art chained to the wheel of the foe,
BY links which the world shall not sever;
With thy tyrans through storm and through calm thou
shalt go,
And thy sentence is bondage forever.
Thou art doomed for the thankless to toll
Thou art lett for the proud to dsdain;
And the blood of thy sons, and the wealth ofthy soil
Shall be wasted--and wasted in vain
Thy riches with taunts shall be taken
Thy valor with GOODNESS repaid;
And of millions who thee thus sunk and forsakcn
Not one shall stand forth in thine aid.
In the nations thy place is left voidi
Thou art lost in the list of the free:
Even realms by the plague and the earthquake destroyed
May revive-but no hope is for thee.
