is true that Mr.. Jefferson was supported by
men who were very useful as seconds, but
none Of whom were willing TO take the field
as leaders in these bold innovations upon the an
cient order Of things. He ieadhe pdy in all the
great changes and Improvements in the science OF
government, ,ohich has taken place in the Unitsd
STATES. This fact may be safely affirmed as
truth, which is capable Of the most satisfacto-
nv proof; and it is one which should never be
forgotten by the people Of this country. mi
consists the chief fame Of Thomas Jefferson, s
it will insure him the grateful remembrance OF
his countrymen, so long as our free institutions
shall exist He was the author Of the first re-
publican form of government which was pro-
posed to the people of this country. The Bill
of Rights, attached to the Constitution OF Vir-
ginia, was written by him. The constitution
ITSELF have understood, was writtenby George
Mason; bur the principles upon which it is
founded were first affirmed, and advocated in
this country by Thomas Jefferson.
! He first proposed the abolition Of the laws OF
primogeniture and Of entails, which broke the
hereditary and high-hanaed aristocracy, which
divided the country, and insured that equality
among our citizens, which is essential to the
preservation of republican governments. He
drew the law Of descep,s, giving an equal lnher-
itance to sons and daughters.
After discoveries are made, it is an essay
matter to profit by them. But TO break through
the prejudices of the world and change old set
tied habits, required the bold apd elevated geni-

A WEST INDIA PARsoN,

From Colsridge's Six Months in the West Indies
The church in Roseau is well situated and TO,
lerably finished without, but the interior is in a
miserable state. The common pitch pine, when
implanted, has particularly unpleasant effect
in rot climate; it always oppressed me in a
remarkable manner. About a hundred persons,
chiefly eolored, attended the morning service;
they had few books, and apparently came for
the purpose of seeing the bishop; certainly with
one or two exceptions, they were entirely unac-
quainted with the ordinary ritual Of the estab-
ished religion. The Church Of England indeed
does not flourish in Dominica, which, consi-
dering the great capacity and spirituous affec-
tions Of the present worthy recumbent, is mat
ter of surprise. / believe there are 1000 Pro-
testants IN this colony, Of which number the
Methodists form the larger part; about 10000
are Papisis, under the care Of three Spanish
PRIESTS; so that it is consolatory TO the sympa-
thies Of obese and liquescent men to know that
if true religion thrite not in Dominica, at least
Its minister does, upon an ample salary, and
Just SO much breathing exercise o. Sundays as
may conddce to a good digestion for the rest
Of the week. Not that would be thought TO
impeach the zeal Of The rector Of Roseau; very
far from it, j: is too welfknown to be question:,
ed, and il argues an unusual degree of apathy
or slubbornness in those who are the daily wit
nesses oft, that its effects are not more percep-
tible.
Mr.. Newman is great and remarkable; but
he is not SO great and remarkable as his pre-
decessor Mr.. Audain. This Mr.. Audain was a
patriot few Of his cloth like him; he was not

of the service on Sunday, unable to repres,

SKETCH.


SKETCH.
The maiden sat in her lonely bower
In the evening twilight's pensive hour
The bird was triliug his roundeay
At the close of the beautiful summers day;
The gush ofmusic came over the plain
In the softened notes of the sTenade strain,
And the palmy breeze in the fowery dell
Seemed dallying with the roses bell
The maid sat there in her lonely bower
Mid flowers, herself the loveliest flower,
And tear believed her full dark eye,
And her bosom heay'd with mournfnl sigh:
For she thought of him who was far away,
Joined 10 the battles dark array
She thought of the halcyon days Of Joy
When bliss was hers without alloy,
When he whispered the tender tale of love,
When Nature smipd. and the heavens above
Seemed teeming with love and poetry
To her young sweetly laughing eye,
And memory brought to mind the years
when untainted by crime, unclouded by tears,
She gave her young heart in its purity.
To the one who whispered tenderly
The tale of love in her innocent ear
But to wiring from her eye bitter tear
The glad bird ofsummer from that spot had flown,
And the music had ceased its silvery tone;
And the roses that woocd to their soft caress
The breeze that partook of their ioveliness,
Were faded away-and the rough blast bore
The sear'd leaves ofautumn that fair-vale o'eri
And the maid that sat in that summer bower
Had faded too, like the blushing flower,
And lowly she lies meath that Wales sod
Which once in the flush OF hope she trod.

LOOK 1T THE STARS.
Look at the stars, when pensive right
Has spread her mantle DER the sky;
How countless are the orhs, and bright.
That meet the gazing, wandering eye,
Der heavens blue arch they gaily steal,
And admiration proudly claim;
We see them, but we cannot feel
The cheering influence OF their flame.
Look at the stars-how faint their beams,
When the fair moon unveils her light;
She shines for US, and lovelier seems
Chan all the glittering orbs OF night.
So fades the world, its glory dies,
When radiant. niisa- AL nnconhn'd,
Heaven bids its brighter beams arise
Upon the lone benighted mind.
