after! This is one bundrr.-The whole peo-

-Wythe has left il in doubt whether he was
not elected by the people. To clear up this
equiyoque, il should be stated that he was
reelected by the legislature IN Nov. 1321-&
that IT is 1t general impression, if the election
had been made by the people, he would have
been relected-that the same legislature
which reelected him, changed the constitu-
tlonal mode of election by devolving it upon
the people aud that all his warmest partizans
were opposed To the change. Why did not

Wythe state that at the very last election for
members of Congress the question was made
between the friends and the opponents of
Crawford, and that every man who was elect

, serener scenes which the idea Of ver-
nal season excites, If, when we speak
of Winter, we mean severity OF wealth
er, and intend by Spring, to give an i'm
preston of mildness, dissolving it's ri-
gor int an intermediate state, between
excessive cold and heat, we are sale IN
asserting, that March Is very rarely a
Spring month. And it would be more
acc ordant to the usual course Of nature,
were the months comPrehsnded in the
four divisions of the year, a. follows:
SPRING.
April, May, June.
SUMNER.
July, August, September.
AUTUMN
October, November, December.
WINTER.
January, February, March.
This division would certainly best
suit our climate but it would be USE
less to break the uniformity which has
been established, by such an innova-
ton.
This month is comparatively mono
.onous with little, except storms, to
vary the scene of the long struggle be.
tween Old Boreas and Mars, for the
mastery. 1t is named from the latter
deity. The God of War, who, accol d.
ing to the Roman Mythology, presio Ell
over It, and osars no small resemblance
to tho turbulence of his profession.
With them, it was the first month o.
the year with the Hebrews likewise,
part of it formed portion of their frs
month, called Abb, or Nj Dan.
March is we'll described by writer
in the Spectator, probably Mr. PoPe,J
to whom, in vision of he seasons, it
thus appeared: LAS March advanced
towards me, there was, methought, m
his look, a lowering roughness, which
ill befitted month which was ranked
in 60 soft season; but as he came for
wards, his features became insens bly,
more mild and gentle; he smoothed his
brow, and looked with so sweet coun-
tenance that could not but lament his
departure, though he made way for A.
pril."
1t commences on Saturday, which
derives it's appelation from the Saxons,
who, on this day, worshipped he idol
Seator. And it is because the days are
thus denominated from the heathen'sh
rites, that some object to the nomen-
cIature and simply call them first deg,
second day, &c.
In this month our Presidents are in.
augurated. Our chronology also re-
minds us tina, this month, Is years ago
Bunaparte sscended one more step il
his ambitious career, the Regency o
Italy, which like all his glory, wa
short lived and unhappy.
The festival of Easter, commemora
ting the resurrection of our Saviour, is
named from Eostre, goddess, wor-
shipped by the Saxops in April; the
same festival is called by the Greeks
pasga, and by the Jews, pascha, in al
lssion to their passover. 1t was for.
merly observed by different nations, at
different times; but the Council of
Nice decreed it should be kept on a
particular day, and always occur on the
Sabbath.
