ST. pATRICK's DAY.

How bright and cheerful is the day
To Erin's joyous sons, whereer
They proudly wander, far away
From despotsm's slavish fear.
Altho' the Shamrock wreath is twined
In gay and verdant richness Ger
Each Irish brow, yet still the mind
Looks back ON those, who are no more.
oh, YES the patriots heart will warm
Whenever he thinks Of Emmet's doom
And tho that mertal giants form
is Wondering in bloody tomb
Still, still the heart its homage pays
10 one, whose patriotic worth
Obtained for him deserved praise,
From Freedoms children DER the earth.
Fair Freedoms standard is unfurled,
On proud Columbia's happy snore;
flag of welcome to the world,
To cnme, and be oppressed no more
And many an freshman it lures
Far from the sway of tyranny
He knows it, and, while life endures,
Will bless the land that set him Tree

"That the long dispute about the Presidency
must be settled by very close vote, seems conceded
upon all hands but the uncertainty hoac seems near
y as great as ever. The more general impression
here seems in favor OF Jackson but the friends of
Mr. Adams still speak with great confidence. The
candidates themselves little disturbed, in man.
ner and appearance, as you can well conceive
anxiety betrays itself much in their respective
partizans.'' 4" Jackson-rougher by nature
and habit than Adams, assumes air Of more pol
sh and politeness, is afabe and condescendng, and
talks good deal. His colloquial styles by no
means that of scholar-hs English is not pure,

on short and casual interview, to be the man who
hanged Arbuthnot and Ambrisier, and established
martial law the cotton bales and cotton merch-
ants of New Orleans YET when his features settle

we may differ upon certain points,, the great truth
is recognized and acted upon, that we are all child
rem OF a common and eternal FATHER. For the
Europeans who were present the spectacle must
have been highly instructive one and there are

be useful, TO behold IN this commonwealth, mem
bers OF the Jewish persuasion are eligible to all pub
lie offices, and possess every political right with
Christians that some Of our most esmable cti-
zens profess that creed and withal, that the Chris
tan faith is at least warmly cherished and as as
sidously cultivated here in any other part of the
world.

FOR TIE WATcKMAN.

Mr.. WILsoN-In your paper of The 9Th inst.
you published an excellent article on the Preserru.
ion of Ice, containing ample directions for the con-
struction of ice houses, &c. In many places the
business of preserving ice has been very lucra-
tive concern to those who have followed it and
have no doubt that any persons in the neighborhood
of Wilmington, who would pursue it, with the in
tention of daily sending ice TO the Borough during
the summer season, would find it profitable en-
poymen,. During the last summer, ice was worth
from 40 TO 100 cents per bushel in this place, and
much of it had to be procured from distance.
have been induced to offer these few hints by
hope that some persons may be found Of sufficient
enterprise to try the proposed scheme, should an
opportunity present itself Of carrying it into exc
cuton; and by belief that they will be well re.
warded for their trouble. WILMlNGTON
