THE MOTHERS LAMENT FOR HER SON.
(From Blachaoood's Magazine J
My child was beautiful and brave
An opening flower of Spring;
He moulders in distant grave,
A cold, forgotten thing
Forgotten yes, by all but me,
AS cen the best BELOVED must be-
Farewell farewell, my dearest
Methnks I had been comfort now
To have caught his parting breath,
Had been near, from his damp brow
To wipe the dews of death
With one long, lingering kiss, to close
His eyeids for the last repose--
Farewell farewell, my dearest
little thought such wish to prove,
When graded on my breast,
With all mothers cautious love,
His sleeping lids | prest--
Alas alas his dying head
Was pillow'd on colder bed
Farewell farewell, my dearest
They told me Vict'ry's laures wreaihed
His youthful temples round;
That "Vict'ry." from his lips was breathed
The last exuting sound
Cold comfort to mothers ear
Who long'd his living voice to hear!
Farewell farewell, my dearest
Ev'n so thy gallant father died,
When thou, poor orphan child
A helpless prattler at my side,
My widow'd grief beguied--
But now, bereaved of all in thee
What earthly voice shall comfort me?
Farewell farewell, my dearest

FROM THE TRENTON EMPORIUM
THE LIGHT HOUSE-Parabhrased.


The last drew nigh, and the good man repos'd
Faint and pale, with his weeping friends round hi
But yet he seemd calm, while his mortal life clos'd
AS in youths carly morning found him.
The tolls of his wearisome journey were past,
And tho now deaths dark vale was before him,
He stood all resignd on its borders at last,
For the bright star of mercy hung DER him.
That scene more beautiful far to my eye,
Than if wealth, in its pride, had array'd
The soul was then plGmingts wings for the sky,
Was ABSORBED in the spirit that made il.
A sweet sigh rose soft as silently gazed
On his feeble eyes quick, anxious motion,
That still fondly turned 10 where Brilliant, ba2ed
Hopes bright star on The verge Of llfc's ocean.
The cares and the troubles oftime were at rest
And each sorrow that life so encumbers,-
The sea-brd had flown 10 its wave-grded nest,
And the world of mankind sunk in sumbers
One moment looked from the hills gentle slope,
All hush'd was days busy commotion,
And joyously gazed on that bright star of hope
That thus shone on life's tremulous ocean,
The time is long past, and the scene is afar,
But oft, as l muse by the billow,
Will memory come TO rekinde the star
That sholie o'erthe dying mans pillow
In fe's closing hour when my trembling soul flies
And death stills my hearts last emotion,
For me may the seraph of mercy arise,
Like star on eternity's ocean.

Singular Legal QUESTION.


An interesting lawsuit is at this mo-
ment carrying on at Paris. The city
had sold house on condition of its BE-
ing pulled down within certain time,
retaining the property of the ground.
The workmen employed in pulling it
down found treasure concealed in one
of the walls. The city now claims this
treasure, because it has never ceased to
be the proprietor Of the ground; while
the purchaser asserts his right, as the
treasure was not found below the surface
but in the wall bought by him. The
bricklayer, too, pretends that it is his,
because he found it; and, as if this was
not enough, the administrators of the do
mains come forward and affirm;that none
of these parties have any title whatever
rs the coins discovered are ancient, and
as the building before the Revolution
belonged to a Convent, il is very likely
that the whole will be declared the
property Of the State. The Judges
will find it difficult to make peace be-
tween these four contendiDg powers.

THE PRESIDENCY.

From the Cheraw Is. c. Intellisencer.1
We have hitherto expressed no pre-.
ference for any of the many distinguish.
ed candidates for this important Office,
nor have we takensany part in the dis.
cussion ofthis subject, which has so long
and so vehemently been entered into by
a majority Of editors throughout the
country. We think the subject has gen.
orally been prematurely embraced, and
continued with spirit of rancour and
. detraction, by no means commenda-
bic.
Although we have adecided prefer
ence for one Of the candidates, we do
not wish to advance his interest by de-
tracing from the real merits Of those
who many think his compeers,; but we
shall be governed, in ourtee5le endeav-
ours to advance his cause, by that spirit
Of fairness and respect, which is so tru-
ly desirable in the discussion of every
important question, and which we con-
ceive due to these distinguished 'charac-
fers. We hope. 10 build up the claims of
our candidate. upon his merits; proving
him pre-eminent in talents; the profound
diplomatist, and able statesman pos
sessing ipaexible integrity, and intrinsic
virtue having long, served his country
with fidelity, and fully deserving the
confidence and gratitude Of the ma.
ton.
This man we think already so clearly
designated, as to render it scarcely nee.
essary to say, it is JoRNQUINCY .AD-
ANS.
In thus making our selection, we are
conscious Of differing with majority Of
editors in this State, who appear to ad-
here with blind devotion to sectional
feeling in the choice of John c. Cal
houn. We are by no means indifferent
TO the talents, services, and real worth
Of this ornament to our State but we
cannot avoid asking, is not Mr.. Adams
vt least eqpalin every poip. of view, and
has he not claims from long tried servic-
es in distinguished and trying situations
infinitely paramount? This cannot be
doubted. We have looked upon the
progress Of this great Presiden;ialpues.
ton with much earnestness and attention
and from all that we can gather, we are
irreslstlbiy drawn TO the conclusion
that Mr.. Calhoun, cannot he elected ua
der any circumstances Iii would there
fore be subject Of much regret should
this great State throw away her impor
tant vote. Suppose i; possible that Mr.
Calhoun should be elected TO the Office
of Chief Magistrate-in eight years BIZ
longest term Of service would expire

Mr.. EDIToR-lt is very much TO be regret,
ted, that the Worcester North District is a.
gain to be distracted by new nominations for
Representative TO Congress. What has Mr..
Locke, our present one, done to forfeit our
confidence? His public conduct ha. resulted
from we'll informed, discriminating mind and
sound judgment. His vote on the Tariff,
the rock on which SO many have split, was, it
Is presumed, in accordance with the opinion
OF nine tenths of his constituents. His ac-
quaintance with the interests of the District
must be acknowledged, and his fidelity can.
not be doubted.
With these facts before US, what can we
expect from change? Mr.. Kendall, the op
position candidate, is an amiable ant worthy
young man; is now Senator in our State
Legislature, and just entered on public life.
Mr.. Locke, on the other hand, has had con.
siderable experience in Legislative affairs
previous TO taking his seat in Congress, and
has uniformly acquitted himself 10 the salts
faction of his friends. Let US therefore, retain
Mr.. Kendall in his present situation, where he
is capable Of doing as much good as he can
in Congress, and, ifhe shall not disappoint the
expectations Of his friends, he will unques-
tionably, in due time, receive the highest
honcurs in the gift ofthe District.
FeLo'o- CaisenS.-The nomination of Mr.,
Kendall at this time by " p and other "ye-
spectacle gentlemen" seems calculated only 10
divide the votes Of the District, and to lead TO
repetition OF meetings, such as took place
nearly two years since. Let Us beware how
we give heed to the advice of the restless and
ambitious. Let US be consistent, and learn
wisdom from experience. In proof of this we
shall not hesitate, on the first Monday of No.
vember next, to give our united vote to the
Hon. John Locke, for our Representative to
the next Congress. -,

We should sincerely deprecate its success
because ii would confirm and perpetuate
the usurpation Of caucus; because its
chief candidate and his adherents are
known to be in opposition TO the present
wise and prudent administration Of the
government ; because he is not superior
TO his competitor John Quincy Adams
in any essential qualifications, and in tai
ents. requirements, experience, public
services and character. is unquestionably
inferior, and because his health is in6rm
and the caucus candidate for the Vice
Presidency, and his successor in any fatal
event, is not a native born citizen Of the
