TIE MURDERED TRAVELLER
WHEN Spring to woods and wastes around,
Brought bloom and JOY again;
The murdered travellers bones were found,
Tar down narrow glen.
The fragrant birch, around lin, hung
Her tassels in the Sky;
And many vernal blossom sprung,
And nodded, careless by.
The red-bird warblcd, as he wrought
His hanging nest DER head,
And fearless near the fatal spot,
Her young the partridge led
But there was weeping far away,
And gentle eyes, for him,
With watching many an anxious dav,
Grew Sorrowtul and dim
They little knew, who loved him SO,
The fearful death he met,
When shouting DER the desert snow,
Unarmed and hard besct
Nor how, when round the FROSTY pole
The northern dawn was red,
The mountam-Wolf and wildcat stole
TO banquet on the dead.
Nor how, when strangers found his bones,
They dressed the hasty bier,
And marked his grave with nameIess stones,
Unmoistencd BY tear.
But long they looked, and feared, and wept,
Within his distant home;
And dreamed, and started as they slept,
For JOY that he was come.
So long they Iookcd-but never spied
His welcome step again,
Nor knew the fearful death he died
Ian down th4t narrow glen. b.

The Burmese war continued--but
their means of. defence and annoyance
are inconsiderable, and they are easily
defeated. They had sent so OF 60 fire
RATS among the English vessels, but they
An no mischief.
The papers mention several affairs
With the Burmese, and the capture Of
many stockades, by the British. The
former appear to have had or 1000
men killed and wounded, and 90 or 80
pieces of cannon taken, and the British
seem to have had but so or 40 killed or
wounded.
The Burmese abandoned the country
AS the British advance.

THE PRESIDENCY,

One week from this day, by the provisions
of the Constitution, the election of President
is to be made by the House of Representatives.
The Boston Galaxy says that 'sthe election of
Gen. Jackson is as certain as any thing can
be that is not a subject of recorded demonstra-
ton" If we did not remember some of the
former calculations, which have been made on
the same subject, we should be induced to
look around and inquire for the evidence
which has produced a conviction on our broth
er editors mind, so different from our own
The Boosting and gasconade of the Jackson
ties, which has convinced some of the certain
ty of his election, appears to us rather like the
boys whistling in the dark, to keep his cour-
age up and the threats and denominations.
which they have SO lavishly bestowed on the
members Of Congress, in case they should not
elect Jackson, betray belief that they are
disposed to give Adams the preference. II
they are so disposed, it is not likely that they
will be turned from their purpose, or intimi
dated by such improper means.
After all, there is no certainty in the
case, and he, probably, takes the most pru-
dent course, who hazards no conjectures.

CANALS.

" 1t has been proposed to make a Canal
from the flourishing town of Worcester to
ProvIence-a measure, however conducive to
the advantage of both those towns, which will
obviously be detrim entail 10 the trade of Bos-
ton. That project must be abandoned! Why !?
Because it can be made apparent to the citi-
zens of Worcester that there is better plan,
not only for the State at large, but for them"
After reading the above extract from the
Boston Centinel, we were not little curious
to know what plan could be so much better
for us, and for the STATE at large, than the
Blackstone Canal, aud found, on examination,
that it was proposed TO extend the great Erie
Canal from Albany or Troy to Connecticut
rivers, and thence passing some miles north of
us, to oe continued till it communicates with
Boston harbour. OF what possible advantage
this could be 10 us in particular, we cannot
imagine.
The uuexampled success of the New-York
Canal has given rise to many similar projects
in various parts of the country, some of which
are feasible, and would Reproductive of great
benefits to the community, while others are
projected by those who do not sufficiently un.
derstand the subject, or are liable 10 some OBJ
lection not anticipated by the proposer, and
can never be carried into effect. Much as we
should be gratifed in believing the above pro-
posed plan good one, we are constrained to
believe it altogether chimerical and if the
good people Of the City of notions have their
expectations as much excited as would APP
pear by some of their papers, it is time for
them TO prepare for disappointment,

Mails, POSt-.MasterS, &c.-The Postmaster
General has issued a circular to the Mail Con-
tractors, requiring greater exertions for the
safe and speedy conveyance of the Mails
He notifies them that, thereafter, no obstacles
which human erertions can opereOme, shall er-
cuSe failure. Any want of energy, in this
respect, will first be noticed by the highest
peeuniary penalty, and, for second failure,
the contracts will be forfeited" When the
mails cannot be conveyed in season in the
Stage, he directs them to be sent in light car
rages, and, if one or taOo horses are insufficient,
they are required to use four.
This looks like doing business, and, when
he has done with his Mail Contractors, we
would advise him to look little to his POSI-
Masters. The Boston Galaxy, for two or
three weeks past, has not been received at
this Office till three mails after awdS due, and,
when it came, it was last from New York or
Hartford. The Palladium, the Patriot, and
other Boston papers, have, of late, Jared much
in the same way, except that they have, in
some instances, been received the same day
they were due.

A light is seen DER ocean beaming-
See how bright it shines from far!
See, it shines when man is dreaming,
Blazing like heavenly star.
But 'tis no star; for, iii were,
Why would it shine forever fair
Why does no cloud obscure the sight.
As clouds obscure the stars ofnight
Day after day has pass'd and gone,
But yet that light is shining on;
That earthly star is still the same,
And long shall burn, glorious fame.
'Tis freedoms light-o'er yon dark wave,
The Grecian banners proudly fly;
And oft beside the freeman's grave,
Is heard the shout of victory.
Yes, yes, Canaris, thou vert there,
With Bonded knee and forehead bare;
And on that deck, where freemen trod,
Was offered up thy prayer 10 God.
" Saviour ofmen! we bow to thee,
And ask one boon--our Liberty;
Or else roll on, thou azure sea,
Another fam'd Thermopylae."
He said, when, high above the tide,
The e-ship rode in glorious pride
Onward it mov'd amidst the gloom,
To Light the tyrant 10 his tomb.
Oh! twas horrid, fearful night,
To hear, amidst old oceans roar,
The groans of mortals in that fight,
And see them sink to rise no more.
The scene is past-all calm-the wave
Rolls peaceful DER each foeman's grave;
Freedom has triumphed-on that shore,
Her star shall burn foreYermore.

School Fund.-We are much grati6ed to
find, by the journal of the General Court, that
our Legislators have at length taken up the
subject of providing fund to be appropriated
to the support of primary Schools. Our sister
States of Newly ork and Connecticut are in
this respect far in advance of us, and the adj
vantages derived from it are very great. 1t
is much more in accordance with the spirit of
our institutions than the present system, be-
cause it apportions that which is intended to
be public charge much more equally, and
ensures the benefits of it with much greater
certainty to all the intended recipients. At
present it is, in very many instances, the fact,
that where there is the greatest need of public
provision for the support of Schools, the least
is done, and we believe that in one County,
at least, no provision at all, or next TO none.
is made for that purpose.
BY the report of the New-York School Com
missioners, it appears, that, during the last Is
years, that State has expended in the support
primary Schools, above thirteen millions of
dollars-that the number of the Schools is
7642, and that, in the year 1924, the number
of scholars instructed in these schools was
402, $40, averaging nine months to each schol-
| ar. Truly, it may be said, that New-York is
laying broad the foundation of her future
greatness and power.
