The republican presses in Massachu-
sets have commenced their opposition
TO Mr.. Otis, by denouncing him, in the
cant of the day, as prominent member
OF the Hartford ConUentaon. This topiclS
has heretofore been, an extremely con
venient one in the hands of those who
affect most patriotick adherence ofthe
proceedings OF that distinguished body.
But the people of Massachusetts, are too
intelligeutto heed the senseless Glamour
OF demagogues, who, under the pretence
OF exclusive patriotism and exclusive re-
publcanism, aimto thrust good men out
OF place that they may thrust themselves
in. In connexion with this subject, it is
deserving of remark, that Judge Swift,
distinguished member of the Hartford
Convention, is talked of as the republican
candidate for eutenant-Gove rnour of
Connecticut. A leading republican print
observes, that no one can for moment
suspect that Judge Swift's motives in taxi
ing seat in that Convention g were
other thah those OF the purest kind"

PRESERVATION OF EGGS.

To transport eggs in fresh state from one coun-
try to another, varnish, BY dipping them in solu-
ton of Gum Arabic in water and then mbed
them In powdered charcoal. The Gum Arabic
swers the purpose of yarnish for eggs much better
than any resinous gum, as it can be easily removed
by washing in cither warm cold water, besides it
is much cheaper. Eggs preserved in this manners
will keep tor many years, as the bed OF Charcoal,
from its porous nature, is non conductor of heato
and consequently maintains around the eggs uni
form temperature ;-preventing them from suffer
ing by alterations of heat and cold, when they are
removed from one climate 10 another.

to that of greasing them, for when the grease be-
comes rancid, it has;ens, promotes putrefaction
of the animal matter in the egg.

And hushed was each despairing groan.

Save zephyrs signing DER the deep;
Walked stood-and nought was feared
Still was not wanting cause 10 weep.
The angry storm its work had done,
Nor spared the trembling or the brave;
Scarce was the cry alarm" begun.
Fer all were plunged beneath the wave.
Quick were the bllowy mountains raised,
And ocean from its bed was driven:
The darkened sky sulphurious blazed,
And rocks were by the thunder riven.
But now--no more the lightnings flashed;
The thunder's peal had ceased to loar;
No more the surging pillows dashed,
Or beat tumultuous on the shore.

Where lately ragged the swelling wave;
And there l saw, thrown on the sand,
The sailor, fearless once, and brave.

The terrors of the stormy seas

Which rose upon the ocean breeze.

When the poor widowed mother walls.

To guide the pilgrim heaytn-ward bound
This to the soul broad pinions gives,

When Freedom on the battle-storm
Her weary head recned;
When round her fair majestic form
The serpent slavery twined:
Amid the din, beneath the cloud,
Great WASHINGTON appeared;
His daring hand rolled back the shroud,
And thus the sufferer cheered
"Burst, burst thy chains Be great, be free
With giant strength arise
Stretch, stretch thy pinions, Liberty,
Thy flag nail to the skies:
Cothe cothe myself in glory's robe,
Let stars thy banner gem:
Rule, rule the sea-possess the globe
Wear victory's diadem
Co, tell the world, world is born
Another orb gives light;
Another sun ilumes the morn,
Another star the night.

Wear, wear the oaken wreath OF tames
The wreath of liberty.

The glorious sheet unfurled,
Flew with it to his native skies,
And waved it DER the world.
