On the recurrence of another attempt to
elect person to represent this district in Con-
gress, it becomes the duty of every elector to
consider the Importance of his elective fran
chse, and the consequences which may flow
from the proper exercise of it. The office, at
all times important, derives additional conse-
quence, at the present time, from the circum-
stance of the formation OF he W Administration,
whose course is yet undeveloped, which has
commenced under circumstances not the most
favorable for its prosperity and success. At
such crisis, when the prosperity and happi-
ness of the country may SO materially depend
on the character of the popular branch of the
National Legislature, the obligation to select
our wisest andablest men to represent US there
becomes peculiarly imperative. With men in
Congress of clear heads and pure intentions,
whose minds have been enlarged ty habits of
study and reflection, who come with deter
mination to devote their energies to the good
anty of prosperous administration of our pub
lie affairs.
Who, then, of the candidates in nomination
possesses these qualifications in the greatest
degree? We feel it almost unnecessary TO
ask, as all whom we have heard speak upon the
subject ADMIT the superiority ofJoEN DAVIS,
Esq. Many republicans have expressed this
opinion, and avowed their preference for him,
but have heretofore felt mselves under obi
cation, so long as party divisions were main
ta;Ned in the County, to vote for candidate
of their own. But this restraint on their incli-
nations is now, happily, done away. The
hand of reconciliation and fellowship has been
extended, as with one accord, and the feder-
alists, as pledge OF their sincerity, have vol
UNFAIRLY offered two Senators, where they
might, without exerton, elect their whole
list.
An objection has been made by some to
Maj. Davis, which we should consider unwor-
thy of notice or remark, were we not assured
that, in some places, it has produced some
effect 1t is that he is Lawyer. Is there,
then, any thing IN the study or practice OF the
Law which disqualiies man for the perform
ance of the duties ola Legislator. For our
own parts, We have ever considered it an
important addition to the requisites for that
duty, and one, which would, where all other
qualifications were equal, decide uuequivo-
cally in PERSONS favor. He who is most
acquainted with the bearing, operation, and
effect ofthe Law, can best Judge of the neces-
sity of its revision or alteration.
In whatever view then we look at the sub
iect, the conviction Of the pre-eminence OF
Maj. Davis's qualifications is forced upon the
mind; and that he will, if elected, perform
the duties Of the Office with honesty, integrity,
and faithiulness, we have the surest plsdge in
the character which he has acquired aud uni
formly maintained.

SCENES IN THE EAST.

We entered the BospnOrus, early I'D the morning;
the sun rose, and the scene glowed, and sparkled
with transcendent beauty. rich transparent veil,
of Tyrian purple blush, covered the nearer OBJ
jects while his bright rays darling across, lit the
mountain tops to so vast distance westward, that
our Reis the captain of the vessel, pointed to
high spot in the clouds, which he called Kasdagh,
the famed mount Ida. Could gaze on such an OBJ
iect, and not see Paris, and the three rival god
desses lowering mid the sun-beams then playing
its shining crest? The pure ETHEREAL air around me
seemed to intoxicate my senses, and, waking, be-
held dreams, that sleeping vision never drew.-Al
was enchantment and delight leaned back on
my carpet, on the deck, and abandoned my whole
soul to the impressions of the passing panorama
The face of the coast, each side is occasionally
marked by steep and bold rocks, or hills gently
sweeping to the beach some of the widest roman
tic cliffs others, luxuriently clothed with shrubs
of every leaf and fragrant blossomng, intermin-
ged with frut-trees, vineyards, and cypress-groves
Amongst the latter on the Asiatic shore, lay the
dark Elisian ofthe Ottoman dead. Our boat, at my
request, slowly hoated its along the margin
of this most solemn appendage to the great city
the cemetery of its people. Here my gay ina
ginations paused, and all my contemplations took
the awful character of the spot before me.
ScUTAR1!-The burial ground of the Musselmans
Of Constantnople; sad region of mortality, whose
vast extent seemed hardly bounded by the horizon
itself, spreading as it did, westward and eastward,
amongst far stretching woods Of cypress, oversha-
downing tombs without count, and graves of gene
ration upon generation, from that of the infant bu
ried to-day to that of the patriarch gathered to his
fathers centuries ago. The marble memorials over
these silent chambers of the Dead rise closer
together than the thickly planted trees that form
their gloomy canopies.-Some of the monuments
richly carved and gilt, painted with various
colours. At the head Of the grave stands square

GOLDSMITH.


Every particular in the history of works of genius,
and in the character of their authors ought to in
terest posterity. The following sketch of Gold
smiths habits of composition, is from Lee Lewes'
Anecdotes, and the subsequent remarks on the
sDeserted Village from Walter SCOTS Lives Of
the Novelists.
Goldsmith, though quick enough at prose, was
rather slow at poetrynot from the hardness of fan
cy, but from the time he took in pointing the SEN
timent, and polishing the versifcation. He was by
his own confession, four or five years collecting
terials in all his country excursions for one poem.
and was actually engaged in the construction of it
above two years. His manner of writing poetry
was this he first sketched part of his design in
prose, in which he threw out his ideas as they &C.
CURED to him and then sat carefully down to
sify them, correct them, and add such other ideas
as he thought better fitted to the subject. He
sometimes would exceed his prose design by wri-
ting several verses impromptu, but these he would
take uncommon pains afterwards to revise, lest they
should be found unconnected with the main design.
The writer of these Memoirs (Iee Lewes) called
upon the Doctor the second morning after he had
begun the Deserted Village, and to him he commu.
ncated the plan Of his poem.
'sorne Of my friends continued he, differ from
this plan, and think this depopulation Of
villages does not exist-but l am satisfied of the
fact. remember it in my own country, and have
seen it in this He then read what he had done of
it that morning, beginning
"Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats of my youth, when every sport could please,

How often have paused on every charm
