London papers to the 2ith July, (the
same date as those received at Philadel-
phla,) and Liverpool TO the 26th were re-
ceivcd at this port yesterday, by the ship
Sapphire, Capt. Calender. They are prin-
cipally filed with accounts of the distress
es prevailing among tie laboring classes in
great Britain, some of which are truly
heart rending.
Under date of Copenhagen, July IL, il is
stated that owing TO the long continuance.

liverpool, July 2G.---The accounts from
different parts OF our own country, and from
many more of the most distant manuiactur-
ing parts of Great Britain, continue to be
of a very painful description and, what has
added to the alarm is, that in Manchester,
Stockport, and some other places, meetings
have been called by some desperate and
atrocious wretches, in order to intamc the
suffering population, and urge them to deeds
Of blood.

The bank mania is one Of the most threatening
of these limitations; it is raising up monled
aristocracy in our country, which has already
set the government at defiance, and although
forced at length to yield little on the first es-
say Of their strength, their principles are un-
yielded and unyielding. These have taken deep
root in the hearts of that class from which our
Legislators are drawn, and the sop to Cerberus
from fable, has become history. Their prlncl-
Piles lay hold OF the good, their pelf OF the bad;
and thus, those whom the constitution had placed
as guards to its portals, are sophisticated or su-
horned from their duties That paper money has
some advantages must be admitted, butt its abu-
ses also are inevitable, and by breaking up the
measure of value, makes lottery Of all private
propeyig, cannot be denied. Shall we ever be
able to put constitutional veto on it? You say
must go to writing history. While was IN
public life / had no time, and now that am re-
tired am past the time. To write history, re-
quires whole life of observation, OF inquiry,
Of labour and correction. It's materials are not
to be found among the ruins of a decayed MEM
DRY. AT this day should begin where ought
to have left off. The 'solve senescentum equam,
is precept we learnt in youth, but for the
practice of age, and we're ! to disregard 1t, 1t
would be but "a proof the more ofits soundness.
IF any thing has ever merited to me the respect
of my fellow citizens, themselves hope Will
wish me not 10 loose it, by expressing the de-
cav of faculties of which it was the reward.
| must then, dear sir, leave to yourself and
your brethren Of the rising generation, to ar
raign at your tribunal the actions OF your pre-
decessors, and to pronounce the sentence they
ha ve merted or incurred If the sacrifices of
that age have resulted in the good OF this, then
all is we'll, and we shall be rewarded by their APP
probation, and shall be authorized to say, go we

sonally, the assurance of great esteem and re-

THE OPPOSITION.

Many of the partizans of Gen. Jackson have
in their opposition to the present administration,
adopted ,urse Of defamation and Iliberality,
which ough. to be reprobated, by all who wish
to preserve the existence and purity of our Re-
publican Government. Major Mcfarland of
Pittsburgh, one OF Gen. Jacksons adherents,
concludes an editorial article in the following
words:
"Away, then, Mr.. Adams, with your puritan-
cal doctrines, SO long as you continue to give
the "right hand of fellowship" to your Secreta-
ry Of State, acho rs MURDERER"
1t is a lamentabe truth, that men, under the
specious garb of patriotism, and pretended
devotion to the will of the people, have too Of
ten succeeded in prostrating the brightest or
naments OF nation; and whenever this has &C.
CURED, the people, sooner or later, have had
sufficient cause to mourn over their own ingra-
titude, and to curse the hypocrisy of those in
whom thew had placed confidence.

MIR. JEFFERsoN's CORRESPONDENCE.

The following letter from Mr.. Jefferson, was
addressed to Dr. Stuart, OF New York, and con-
tains opinions very important subject
one that at the present moment, occupies a
large share of public attention, and doubtless
some good may arise from their publicity.
Monticello, May 10, 1917.
Dear Sir-Your favor, April 18th, is duly re-
ceived. l am very sensible of the partially
with which you are so good as to review the
course have held in public life; and have also
diligence generally shewn to my endeavors to
be useful to them. They give quite as much
credit as is merited to the difficulties supposed
TO attend the public administration. There
are no mysteries in it; difficulties indeed some
times arise, but common sense and honest in
tentons will generally, steer through them; and
where they cannot be surmounted, have ever
seen the well inten1ioned part OF our fellow citi
GERS sufficiently disposed not to look for impos-
sibiities We all know that farm, however
large, is not more difficult to conduct than a
garden, and does not call for more attention or
skill. hope, with you, that the policy of our
country will settle down with as much naviga-
ton and commerce only as our exchanges will
require, and that the disadvantage will be seen
of our undertaking to carry on that of other
nations. This indeed may bring gain to few
individuals, and enable them to call off from
our farms more labourers to be converted into
lackies and grooms for them, but il will bring
nothing to our country but wars, debt and di-
lapidation This has been the course of Eng
land, and her examples have fearful influence
on us. In copying her, we do not seem to con-
slider that like premises induce like consequence.

THE cHAMBER OF DEATH.


Observer, are the production of youthful author.
ieave me. To night I'll watch the corpse alone.
Set the lamp there, that its faint light may rest
s,n this pale face Fold back the winding sheet
Cav the white arm above the sable pail
1-4ss cold and stiff Thou trembest, boy! Perchanc
thou never look'dst on death before? Away
is no sight for thee. HE thee obed,
snd letme hear thy footsteps as they pass
5 long the corridor. So-he is gone,
Ind thou and remain; as ans
Thou in the stiff rightly of death,
A thing of solemn and mysterious meaning
silence is round us; but it is not yet
The appointed hour. AT midnight thou Wit come
10 animate again this inert clay;
And, if the laws that govern thee permit,
lmpart to me sign, that may know
We vet shall meet hereafter. In this world
We grew together, like two trees that twine
Their branches into one; and if to die
BE but to pass away to other realms.
Be they Of light or 'darkness. our twin souls
will there be found united
o God! 1t is a fearful thing to see
The strong man stretched upon the bed OF death,
writhing in agony beneath the grasp
Of unseen power. Even as its victim strives
To shake the tigerfrom its throat, he strives
against the shadowy tyrant. Andyet why
1e death he but the herald to state
Of altered being why should nature shrink
with horror from his touchs Alas look there
And thou art answered In those stiifening limbs
That cold blank piece of nothingness-a weight
of passive matter destined for the worms
What can we read of Immortality
Say that twas but the casket for the gem,
Ought we not still to cherish whathas held
f. Gift of so much price, Is that black box,
And the damp earth, fit receptaclef
Has not the light of. life been in those eyes,
The eloquence of health upon those cheeks
The grace of action in those manly limbs,
The dignity of virtue on that brow'
Thoughts. thoughts! We madden me!
Eiow still is this lone hour! The lamp burns feebly,
And casts Pickering shadow on the dead!
Harkl from distant turret midnight sounds
Flow heart be firm! III gaze upon the corpse,
and move not-breathe not-till it look upon me.
The wind is up, and murmurs moaningly,
: hear it in the corridor Hai-no!
That slow and measured tread is something more.
The corpse the corpse! 1t is not where it lay!
ghe door is opening. How those eyeballs glare!
Oh. Heaven and Earth IT'S he as when he lived!
Bat wan, and sad, and changed,- though tn
- same,
The lamp expires His breath-his touch are on me
And To-! see him in the darkness still
The dead cannot become invisible.
1t speaks not-stirs not-but strange meanings MT
Across its pallid countenance. And now
Just powers this is too horrible.
