2. The O1ieers0fthe General GoueTnment.--
May they bait with wisdom and honesty, and
fish for the interest of the people, and not pop

serve them as the whale did Jonah.
3. Oar Legislators.-May they enjoy the
privilege of taking fish in any way, common TO

DR.. PERClvAL.

This singular man has again surprised US
with one of the eccentricities of his character
We observe, by the New York Commercial
Advertiser, that he has completely broken off
his engagement with the publisher Of the New
York itheneum, after trial of only two Or
three days, assigning no reason for his conduct,
and leaving no notice Of his destination. II is
to be lamented that a gentleman, 50 deserved
iy celebrated for his poetic genius, should be
haunted nv such a morbid sensibility, as to rem
der him incapable of attending to one pursuit
for aav considerable length of time. The &C.
centricitics Of genius have long formed the sub
ject Of observation and pleasantly, but here
they cease to amuss. and are, on the contrary.
cause Of pain. Talents such as Mr.. Percival's.
If properly directed TO the pursuit most congo
NAL TO his taste, would do honour to his coun-
try We recollect the fair promise they gave
on his first appearance before the public, and
the high expectations which his literary friends
and admirers formed Of their future exertion.
We regret to see their promise darIvened, and
those expectations disappointed. His last en-
gagement was one in which he might have
done much for the cause of American litera-
fure; but, like many other favourable situa
lions, in which he has been placed, he has sud
denly relnquished ii to pursue his former I'm.
happy eratic course.
