Messrs GALES & SEAToN: Two or three years
ago, John Logan published in the Metropolitan, oil
Georgetown, an account Of his seeing, in the slash.
es back of this city, spider snare frog, and hoist
him up several inches, to twig. This account was
not generally credited. now send you an account
OF spider and snake, which appears equally incred.
ibc, but can be attested by MANY. II you think il
worth publishing you may amuse some of the Gu
rious.
On Friday last, (1st insant spider was discov
cred by the workmen in the Rock Greek Paper Mill,
apparently in contact with small black snake, about
nine inches long. When first discovered, the snake
was swapping at the spider, and at each snap jump
OF The snake, the spider Tapped his web round the
head OF the snake, and still kept looping him up
his listening. This combat continued all day on
Friday and all Saturday, until the evening, when
the spider completely conquered, and had killed the
snake. On Sunday, (yesterday) he had him we'll
ashed about the head, middle and tail, and had him
hoisted eighteen inches up in his web, where he is
now hanging, and the spider feeding on him. What
is remai kabe, is, that this spider is bigger than
a common fly. They can both be seen in the web
at the paper mill, and all The above facts aested by
William Leish, foreman, Edward Lewis, George
Miller, and Samuel Norwood. workmen in the mill,
and by all the hands working there.

MARK THIS, DEMOCRATS

oh tne De'egalc llckct formed at Scott's last
Saturday, is the name Of man for whom the fed
era!iss cxcrtcd themselves an election few years
ago. because he had promised to use his utmost ef
forts ~ to put an end to Red Lion Meetings! -
Will you support such mans Will you vote
ticket with his name on it? Is he Democrat? Is
he fit person to assist in forming Ticket for your
appreciation and support?
We admire candor, consistency, and firmncss in
a politician, and would sooner by far give our sup
port to federast possessed of these qualities than
vote for man protesting to be democrat, who is
unstable, wavering, carried about by every breeze
sly, deceitiul, not to be confded in, and unworthy
the respect Of any party. ID making these remarks
we have two three men in view, for whom we
at no distant day, ask favors of the democratic
,arty. We may then paint their portraits, and ex.
pose some Of their manoeuvres which will disgrace
them in the opinion Of the honest of all parties.
The degrading means to which some of the friends
of Mr.. M'LaDe in this Borough have resorted in
their endeavors 10 his reelection, evidently
They have made propositions to some democrats to
give vote for Hazard in exchange for one for
MLane. Every Democrat should consider such
proposal as an insult to his understanding, and
spurn the unprincipled bargaincr who makes it.
The federalis's are calculating on a number Of
democratic votes for M Lane. He will perhap. OBJ
tain some such votes, but not one tenth OF the mum
Der they expect. The democratic party are not
prepared to acknowledge that they have not men in
their ranks qualified to represent them in the coun-
ellis of the nation. When they admit this, it will
be time to dissolve the party.
Some Of the friends of M'Lane in this place are
rlectoneering for him on the ground that he is op
posed TO the present administration patriotic
argument truly They say he il, pledged to vote
for Jackson, provided Crawford should not be
brought forward. This argument is used to induce,
if possible, some of the democratic friends OF Gen.
Jackson to vote for M'Lane. We believe true re.
publicans possess too much attachment for their
party to listen to the persuasons of their nyeerate

How different the situation of the agricultural la
borer in America from that of the operative in the
manufacturing districts of Great Britain If the
American farmer cannot obtain money for his pro
duce, so as to give pecunia.y wages, he is always
able to feed tho aborer: not SO, The master manu-
factuIer; For when he ceases to pay, the operative
starvcs, and is driven by hunger to crime OF irsur
reclion. We have been struck with the following
passage of one of the letters of Wilson, the Orntho
ogist, who was, himself, in his youth employed in
the trade oil weaving, in Scotland.
:" An old weaver is a poor, emaciated helpless
beng shlvering over rotten yarn, and groaning
his empty -four barrel An old farmer sits in his
arm chair, before his jolly fire. whilst his iosts arc
crowded with hung beef and CANNON, and The boun
ties OF heaven are pouring into his barns. Even
the article OF health is consideration sufficient to
make young prefer the lsbors of the field !;
tor health is certainly the first enjoyment Of life.
tagging down trees is hard work, no doubt but,
taken moderately, it strengthens the sinews and is
a manly independent employment
Wilson referred to the British weaver. The
American operatives are, certainly, in more for
tunate condition in every respect. Nat Gag.

THE SONG OF ROSE WESTON,
They tell me thou hast gone from me
Over the wide and stormy sea;
I'll not believe the tale they tell
Thou wouldst at least have said, farewell!
They tell me that thy altered brow
Retains no trace Of beauty now;
That sin and shame have blanch'd thee pale
Phi not believe the sland'r ous tale -
Thy bloom is gone-perhaps it fed
Quench'd by the tears that thou hast shed
Thinking of her-l1l not upbrad thee

Could believe thee else than true;

To know thee false, my heart would break

And have lov'd thee to the last;
Thy fatal love hath run'd me,
But my last thoughts prayer for thee
