The plan which many OF our presses adopt

matter Of regret to every American. The dis
augui,hed individuals who are considered as
candidates for the high office, certainly can
take no pleasure in the species of warfare which
IS waged against their opponents in their career
Of yirtuous ambition-they can take no delight
in seeing themselves extolled in an unwarGant.

uosers vilifed and abused Yet still some edi.

dulation on him, while the others are made
the victims of the most disgraceful SANDER
We have reason, indeed, to exclaim, o tenn

Another cause of complaint IS, the extreme
widity with which they seize upon every thing
which can, in the least degree. injure those
they dislike. They swell mole hills into
mountains The most ridiculous charges are
made, and descanted upon, as ifthey were mat
tsrs Of serious importance. Forsinstance-the
Richmond Enquirer charges Mr.. Adams with
the wonderful crime of sitting in pew with
Niman Edwards. The National Journal gives
a history Of the affair, in order to prevent mis-
conceptions, and states. that MIR, Gales had
tn, excessive pOliteness of offering Mr.. Edwards

Mr.. Adams When MIR. Adams came into

there remained Mr. Gales considered this

While morning glowing,
But their witherd leaves strewd DER the groui
For tempests to play on,
For cold worms TO prey on,
The shame Of the garden that trumphs around
Their buds which then hourish'd
With dew drops were nourish'd,
Which turn'd into pearls as they fell from on high;
Their hues are all banish'd,
Their fragrance all vanished,
Ere evening shadow has cast from the sky
] saw, too, whole races
OF glories and graces
Thus open and blossom, but quickly decay;
And smiling and gladness,
In sorrow and sadness,
Ere life reach'd its twilight fade dimiy away
Joys lighhearted dances,
And melody's chances,
Are rays Of moment-are dying when born;
And pleasures best dover
Is naught but flower,
A vanishing dew drop-a gem of the morn.

It's briancy shrouded,
Our strength disappears, we are helpless and lone;
No reason avails us,
And intellect fails us;
Lies spirit is wasted, and darkness comes on.

FROM SONGS ny THE WAY.
THERMOPYLF.

BY THE REV. Il. W. D0ANE.
Twas an hour of fearful issues
When the bold three hundred stood,
For their love of holy freedom,
BY that old Thessaiian flood;
When lifting high each sword of flame,
They called ON every sacred name,
And swore, beside those dashng waves,
They never, never would be slaves
And Oh that oath was nobly kept
From morn to setting sun,
Did desperation urge The fight
Which yalor had begun:
Till torrent like, the stream of blood
Ran down and mingled with The food
And all, from mountain cliff 10 wave,
Was Freedoms, Nalour's, Glory's grave.
oh, yes, that oath was nobly kept,
Which nobly had been sworn,
And proudly did each gallan. heart
The toeman's letters spurn;
And firmly was the fight maintain'd,
And amply was the triumph gain'di
They fought, fair Liberty, for thee;
They fcll-to dc Is to be .i1ee.
