v
According to the fundamental principles OF
our government, President elected agreeably
to the provisions Of the constitution Of the u
nited States, is as much the President OF the
people, as il he were chosen by their direct vote;
because, he is elected in the mode which they
have themselves prescribed for ascertaining
their will; and il is an insult to them not to re-
spect, as their decision, choice made by their
agents, exercising the powers delegated, IN strict
conformity 10 the directions OF the instrument
of their constitution. Indeed, nothing can be
recognised as the public will, which is not con-
s,itutionally expressed as such. Ii was, there
fore 10 be hoped, that the present Chief Magls-
trate would, in the proper exercise OF his au-
thority, have received the support of all those
who claim TO be the. friends Of the constitution,
and especially those Who profess the principles
upon which he has ayowed his intention to adj
minister the government; that the friends the
unsuccessful candidates would have accorded
TO him liberal and rational confidence, which
would have manifested their attachment TO
principles to be stronger than their prediec-
tons for men; and that if, by the adoption OF sys-
tens, and principles, hostile TO the pubic good
and to those proiessed and advocated by them
selves, they were compelled to oppose his adj
ministration, they would commence their OPP
position with candor and dignity, and support
II by truth and fair argument These reason
able expectations have rot, however, been real
lzed. Gen. Jackson was, indeed among the
first TO express his confidence in the ability and
virtue OF the new President-thus affording un-
equivocai testimony that, in his opinion, he was
iairiy and honorably chosen. BY many it was

ANOTHER ALEXANDER sELKIRK


The Thetis transport, Lieutenant Hopkins.
which arrived here few days since from the
Pacific Ocean, had occasion 10 touch at the isl.
and Of Mocho, for water, the only iphabitant
on which was an English seaman, of the name
Of Joseph Richardson, a native Of Arlington.
near Ashford in Kent, who, like another Robin,
son Crusoe, or Alexander Selkirk, had made
choice Of such solitary houseless spot, up.
wards Of three years since, for residence when
he was landed, at his own urgent de sire, fiom
Patriot ship of war, commanded by Captain
Robertson. The island is about 60 miles in
circumference, and about sixty miles from
the coast Of Chill, in lat. 80, S. 1t is very
seldom visited by ships, as it does not afford
necessary supplies of wood, but it does of wa.
ter, in abundance. 1t is remarkably fertile. and
abounds with hogs and horses. Richardson
has cultivated two gardens, on the vegeta,
BILE produce Of which, with pork, young horse
flesh, and wild pigeons, he lives. He hunts
the former animal down with dogs, fine
breed Of which he has broken in, the pigeons
are so numerous that he has little difficulty
in obtaining them, and few other kinds Of
birds, though the only fire arms he possesses
is an old musket, with broken lock, which
he discharges by means of match, but by
patient watching under the trees, he contrves
by such defective means, to vary his diet as
often as he wishes. About nine months since
the Indians, hearing o. his desolate situation,
though not at all disposed to join in commu,
nifty, landed two Of their native girls on the
island. Richardson instantly made choice of
one of them as his consort, and proclaimed
her Queen of the Island, and the other he
calls his cook The distinction between these
two individuals was quite Perceptble on the
present visit Richardson having no means
of amusement, besides the necessary employ.
ment Of obtaining subsistence. At his own re-
quest, Lieutenant Hopkins supplied him with
Bible and Prayer-book. Lieutenant H. offer
ed to take him off the Island, but he refused to
leave it, declaring his determination of passing
his life in his own Government. He had com.
menced erecting fort, to protect him from
the Indians There was no present appearance
of any increase to his subjects.

Poetry.

MeSsrs. Editors: i saw, lately, III one OIL tue
City newspapers, a lame imitation OF the beau
tiful ballad of s'Auld lang syne." Burns re-
marks, in one of his letters, that the Scotch
phrase Of Aud lang syne is exceedingly expires
sive-adding, "This is an old song and tune,
which has often thrilled through my SOUL
You know I am an enthusiast in old Scotch
songs. Light De the turf on the Heayen-inspired
poet who composed this glorious fragment
There is more Of the FIRE of native genius in it,
than in half dozen of modern English Bac-
chanalians" Burns afterwards added TO "this
glorious fragment" which is now the song pub
lished in the 4th vol. of his works.
Allow me to send an limitation for your poets
corner, which has never appeared in print-the
manuscript was presented to me, some years
past in Scotland, by the authoress, or poetess.
1t breathes the finest and plaintive poetry of the
original-the last stanza particularly so. Your
readers Of sensibiliiy will feel this. 1t brought
tears into the eyes Of an amiable lady Of my ac-
quaintance, to whom read it lately; which in
duces me to afford like qualification TO others,
LIKE HER. Criticism might remark that some
Of the lines are rather defective in measure.

AULD LANG sYNE.
When silent time wi lightly foot,
Had trod Ger thirty years
sought again my native land
WI many hopes and fears
VIVA kens if the dear friends Ileft,
May still continue mine;
Or if again ere may taste,
The joys left lang syne.
When drew near my antient pile.
My heart beat a. the way,
Tx place pass'd seem'd yet to speak
Ofsome dear former day:
Those days that follow me afar,
Those happy days O. myne,
They make me think my present joys
Are nothing to lang syne.
The we'd tower next met my view,
Wha'sminstrels used to blaw,
Nae friend came out to welcome me,
Nae we'll ken'd face saw:
Till Donald totter'd to the door.
VIVA left in his prime;
He wcpt to see the lad return,
He bore about lang syne.
In vain in ilk we'll ken'd place,
thought to find friends there;
saw where ilk ane had sat,
1 hung on mony chair,
Till saft remembrance drew a veil
Across these e'en o. mine:
closed the door and sobb'd aloud,
To think on auld lang syne.
