& If the Parent state shall deem that il has a
good chance of recovering its possessions, il
may do So and whilst shadow OF chance
remains, other countries, clearly, have no right

the Colonial government dc facto so far as
commercial relations required but we

success) To determine for Spain, the question

PALMYRA.
Der the hushed plain where sullen horror broods
And darkest frown the Syrian solitules,
Where morns soft steps no balmy fragrance leave.
And parched and devices is the couch Of eve.
Thy form pale CITY OF the waste, appears
Like some faint vision Of departed years
In macy cluster, still, giant train
Thv scuptured fabrics whiten the plain
Still stretch thy columned vstas far away
The shadowed dimuess Of their long array.
But where the stirring crowd. the voice of strife.
The glow Of action and the thrill oflife
Hear the loud crash Of Won huge fragments fall,
The peang answer Of each desert bali,
The nieht-bird shrieking from her secret cell,

See fondly lingering Misbra's parting rays
Gid the proud towers once vocal with his praise;
But the cold affairs elaspins weeds enfwine,
And MosIems worship az the goddess shrine
Yet here slow pausng memory loves TO oour
Her magic influence DER this pensive hour !;
And oft as Won recesses deep prolong
The echoed sweetness of the Arabs song,
Recalls that scene when wisdom's sceptred child
FIR broke the stiffness Of the lonely wild
From air, from ocean. from earth's utmost cline
The summond Geni heard the mutfered rhyme,
The tasking spell their airy hands obeyed,
And Tadmer glittered in the palmy shade.
To to her feet the tide of ages brings
The wealth ofnations and the pomp of Kings
And far her warrior Queen from Parthia's plain
To the dark Ethiep spreads her ample reign
Vain boast cen she, who lmmas fields along
Walked fercer frenzy in the patriet thrnno,
And sternly beauteous. like the meteor's light,
Shot through the tempest of Emesa's fight
While trembling captives round the victor wait.
Hang on his eve, and catch the word Of fate =
Zenobias selfmnst quail beneath his nod,
A kneeling suppliant to TIE mimic god.
But one there stood amid that ahect throng
Tn truth triumphant and in virtue strong;
Beamed on his brow the soul which undismsved
Smiled at tho rod. and scorned the uplfted blade.

PRECIOUS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
! Mr.. SHrRLEY-It is an old, as well as true
saving. that the oficious kindness of an ipjudi-
cious friend. is frequently as injurious to the par
ty whom he intends to benefit. as is the malice
Of the most inveterate, bitter and implacable en-
emv. The truth Of this remark has received an
additional confirmation from the concessions o.
the newly elected Governor Of Massachusetts,, to
which we shall presently refer.
Tt has looF been contended By the federal par
ty, that the N. ENGLAND states, and particularly
Massachusetts, have been denied that influence
to which they are justly entitled in the councils
of the nation. The correctness of this assertion
has been repeatedly denied, and warmly COM
batted, by their opponents, from Sc Old South" in
the Chronicle, TO Matthew Cary, in the +" Olive
Branch" But if the above proposition, as far
rs it relates to Massachusetts. has received am
pie confirmation from an authority, which, from
the respect and Difference manifested for it by
our adversaries, we hardly think they will at
tempt TO dispute. This authority is that of no
less person than the present Governor of Mas
sachusetts. In his inaugural speech, which is
now running the round of the democratic papers
we are assured, that by the recent elections in
that state, Massachusetts is " restored 10 her
Just influence IN The national co,ncils.o Now II
Massachusetts has recoyeredher " Just influence. h

personal friends. He yields two-edeed sword,
thich wounds alike both friends and enemies.
The signature of the Governor is attached TO a
document which accuses an administration TO
which he has been hitherto an avowed friend, and
which he has zealously and actively supported, OF
injustice. We now fatttr ourselves, that we
shall no longer hear from the Patriot or the Ar
gus any farther howlings about factions com
pIsints on the part of Massachusetts, against the
general government, or of an unjustifabIe oppo-
strOn to the measures which that government
doPted during the periods TO which His ExceIen
cy has been pleased to refer US. The present
gosernment OF Massachusetts confirms what we
have an hundred times maintained and wha,
those papers, have perhaps thousand times den-
ed. We have now placed ourselves under the
protecting shield of His Excellency, which, like
that OF AJAX, our opponents appear to consider
invincible. What many of our adversaries have
a thousand times proclaimed at their caucuses.

with voices which might drown even the shriIl
clarion" of u echoing horn," blown BY KICKER
bocker's Dutch trumpeter, the governor denies,
thus confirming the truth of our assertions, and
decidedly condemning theirs.
Now IN this violent attack upon the federal
party in Massachusetts and particularly upon the
administration Of Gov. Strong, the democratical
successor of that gentleman acknowledges fact
which IS in itself the highest encomium upon the
hdelity integrity and patriotism of his predeces-

bound by sacred duty to oppose every act O
injustice that had been done herr If the national
government continued to pursue measures 81
destructive to her interests az well as rights
were not her rulers bound to demonstrate, and

ats Just, lawful, and undeniabIe rights.
Before we conclude We eanHot avoid noticing
the gross inconsistency into which most of the
democratick editors in Massachusetts as well as
in other places, (and especially the conductors
of the Patriot & Chronicle, which has OF late
years, become the oracle of democracy in that
state) have fallen within the course of few
years past. The principal objection made by
those papers to Mr.. Otis for governor, was, tha$
I
ton. 1t was also urged few years since, by
the same papers, as a ground for opposing the
election of Gov. Brooks, that he had been the
friend, confdant, and adviser of Gov. Strong.
during the period Of the late war. They object
| also, that he had been partizan both of the
Convention, and tha measures pursued BY the
executive AZ that time These objections they
| affected r. consider Sufficiently strong 70 Justify

the commonwealth. Now il is an universally
admitted principle, that the man who aids, abets,
and assists another in doing wrong, becomes a
participation in his guilt Now if the views of
the Convention had been reasonable, as our adj
versaries pretend they were, neither Mr. o. nor
Gov .B. could have been either patriots or honest
men. Yet Gov. B. they now tell us, is both.
For the same reason then, for which they acquit
him Of the charges which they formerly brought
against him; they must also exonerate Mr. O.
from the imputations with which they have 50
literally loaded him. Both these gentlemen
were embarked in the same cause, if we NAV
! believe the editors of the democratick prints.
both approved of the same measures, the same
praise and the same censure, should, therefore.
be awarded both. To censure the one, and to
commend the other, would be gross inconsist-
ency. Yet cur opponents have done both. In
deed, we are almost led to the conclusion, that
IN more of the aforementioned prints either
censure or applause means any thing else, than
that the interests of the party to which those
papers are devoted, require that either the one
or the other should be literally bestowed 10 ef-
feet some distant, or some approaching election,

efecting these objects, neither virtue, worth,
