TO IN COLLIN HARP,
HEARD AT NIGHT.

II was chorus of the wind that stole
Its silence from the night, and seem'd to play
A momentary dirge--as If the soul
OF Harmony had died and passed away.
Now to the air il gave solemn peal,
And on the hearing in sad concord hung:
Anon in trembling distance did it steal,
Till not one tone of faint vibration rung.
Again! il breahes in fitful murmuring,
Now querulous and low, now full and clear;
Borne on the midnight gales mysterious wing,
Like angel echoes from a distant sphere.
wizard Harp! strange power is thine,
And more than music thou canst give,
Stirring those chords of magic Irvine,
So sweet, so fugitive.
Thy tones, not on the ear they dwell.
They sink not on the mournful air;
But inly TO the heart they swell,
And wake an echo there.
of friends away they seem to sing,
And make the hours Of absence dear
The shades Of forms beloved they bring,
And draw the distant near,
wizard Harp such power eDibralling,
No art melodous could inspire
No wing OF winds in murmurs falling.
So sweety tune thy wire.
1t is the spell that Fancy weaves,
Which gives thy charms to thee
II is lie sigh that Memory heaves,
Makes all thy melody.

10 descend into his little private meanderings, while

ed as unworthy OF any, except the most unprinci.
pied men. The parlisans OF Crawford IN this state
Maine are now in SO desperate condition that
they stick at nothing which can in any way promote
their cause; and therefore we are not surprised az
their unceasing endeavors to persuade the Baptsls
that he is member of their communion. This
trick, however, is too shallow to serve them. Even
were he most exemplary member Of the Baptist
communion, we believe there is too much good
sense prevailing among tina, respectable portion of
the community to give him their preference cxclu-
slvely on account of his religious creed. There are
none who more sincerely deprecale union of
church and state" than do the Baptiss.-We think
the friends OF Mr.. Crawford had better remain ST.
lent, respecting his religious character; because,
II Judged on The principle that the Tree is known
by its fruit" he would hardly be considered an honor
10 any religious society. We cannot believe the
Bsptsts, generally, will give their support 10 man
who has repeatedly set at defiance the laws oil God
and his country, even though he prgtcss himself 10
be OF their faith murderer and duellst cannot
be very porthy member OF any society.

presslons oil popular opinion upon the subject OF the
Presidential candidates, which have been made al
the accidental meetings Of travellers in steam boas,

OF asceitaining correctly the public feeling, could
not well be devised. People brought thus together,

We learn, generally, from the several districts IN
the commonwealth, that no disposition is eyinced
ny the people TO oppose the election OF the persons
designated as candidates for Electors; but that on
The contrary, being satisfied that the persons recon-
mended are friendly to the election OF J. Q. Adams
to the Presidency, they will cheeriuly support them
at the polls. The Pretence Of an "unpIedged tick
ETY. to favor the election of Mr. Crawford will be
OF no avail and receive support beyond the votes
OF the disappointed politicians who have been nsru
mental in getting up this political farce.

The fact Of his residence in the District Of ca.
lumbia since he has filled the office which he now
holds with so much credit to the country, is unde
niable That slavery exists IN that District is, un
fortunately, true but It's not true that Mr. Adams
now does, or ever did, own any human being as
property, or ever stakeholder in any sense OF
the term. AS this subject, however, has been
forced upon the public attention. by the ndiscretion
OF Mr.. Adams opponents il is due 10 the people Of

Administrators Notice.

gs4fUaN STRONG left the town of Bow
q 4 ling Green, in the county Of Pike, and
state OF Missouri, about the thirteenth of April
last, for his residence in the county of Lincoln,
and is supposed to have lost his way and Pc
rished, as his horse arrived at home the day
following, and search being Immediately made
for BIN for several days without success. He
was of small stature, aged about seventy years.
and had become very weak AND infirm. The
place Of his nativity to me is unknown, but by
his papers he seems formerly to have been a
merchant in the City of New-York, of conside-
rable note and in the year 1916, to have
come % the town of ST. Louis, in the then
territory, now state Of Missouri, to transact
business for David Smith, jr. & Co. OF said city.
He died without will, and without any known
heirs to his estate. Administration has,
therefore been granted. and his personal es-
tate appraised at the sum of one hundred and
seventy-five dollars and sxty.nine cents
amount of debts and real estate yet unknown.

and explorations recently completed, and such
as are now III progress, and may be finished
previous to the publication of the work.
Inc projection adopted for the proposed
Map 10 similar to that selected for the Maps of
the different States contained in the Atlas Just
, mentioned; by which the meridians and paral-
ieis OF latitude are made to intersect at right
angels, as nearly as due regard to the laws of
the decrease OF the former would admit. This
mode, of projecting Maps on am extensive
scale, represents the various quadrilaterial
figures similar TO those on the Artificial Globe.
and affords very near approximation, in
other respects, to the earth itself; distances in
any direction may be accurately ascertaned,
with facility, by the application of the simple
scale; the respective diagonals of the inter-
seeing lines of projection, are of an equal
length throughout the map; it obviates that
extreme distortion which results from the use
OF what is called the plane protection" in
winch the parallels of latitude are represent
ed by straight lines, and, in fine, it represents
The understanding picture of the correspond

original, as such representation can possibly
be given on plane surface.
In connecting the various materials collect
ed together for the map, certain established
points will be adhered to as land marks or
guides for latitude and longitude, to which
the local surveys, SC. will be made to con-
form. Particular reference will, however be
had to such positions as shall have been sub
iected to the most frequent and scientific OBJ
servations of men of known skill, whose de-
auctions will be compared, and if found to DIFF
ter on any material point, such position will be
adopted as due regard to the character for
accuracy OF the respective observers, taken in
connection with the advantages or disadvanta.
ges that may have attended their operations,
may dictate.
The recent survey of the northern bounda-
ry OF the United States, made in conformity
to tie treaty Of Client, will constitute the basis
OF SO much of the proposed Map as was EN-
braced within the range OF that survey and
the survey of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast,
made by order of the Navy Department will be
used for the base of the southern and eastern
l.)itions OF it. For the intermediate space,
recourse will be had to the latest and best in
