From the Baltimore american.

The editor Of the Frederick Examiner, In a
we'll written article upon the subject OF the at
tacks which have been directed against the Ad-
minis,ration, upholds in decided terms the pu-
ri,y and correctness Of the course pursued by
Mr.. CLAW al the last Presidential election. MIR.
CLAW Che says) had to choose between MIR. Adj
ans and General Jackson. In preferrlng the
former he exercised a right guaranteed to him
by the constitution, and consulted the best in
terests of his country--for under Mr.. Adams,
the government continues to be administered
on those principles which have received the
almost unanimous appreciation ofthe American
people," In continuing his remarks on this
"Bu, it is alleged, that Mr.. Clay had differed
with Mr.. Adams on certain matters, and there
fore ought not to have voted for him. Did he
not differ also with general Jackson? had he not
publicly censured some OF the official acts of
the general? Had Mr.. Clay, however been per-
sonally hostile to MIR. Adams, it became him as
a patriot, to consult the interests Of his country
instead of indulging his personal feelings. But
the disagreement between these gentlemen

From tile Mew- York Times.

Extract ola letter written by DR.. J. ID. Fisher, who is
now IN Paris, to a gentleman in Boston, under date OF
August 23d.
"The news Of decease of the venerable Elk
Presidents, Adams and Jefferson, reached this
city a fey days since, and you can hardly con-
ceive Of the effect which this intelligence pro-
duced in the minds of our countrymen, and Of
the friends Of liberal sentiments.
"The good and generous Lafayette shed tears
when the news was read to him; and the Journ-
ais of the day spoke in the language Of grief,
and have teemed with eulogiums upon the yir-
tues, talents, and public services Of these great
apostles Of liberty and the rights Of man. The
circumstance Of their eventual lives, the i'm
mense benefits which they have by their talents,
labours and influence, bestowed upon the world;
and the peculiar and almost miraculous coinci-
dence of their deaths, say those papers, will
serve as themes for the Homers and ,Virgils Of
all future times"
"ln the same letter the writer observes that
"every thing Of a political nature, which takes
place in our country, is read here with avidity,
and the state papers and public speeches Of our
statesmen are sought after with great interest.
The speeches Of our distinguished fellow citi-
zens, Lloyd and Webster, which they delivered
in Congress the last winter, have been translat-
ed into French, and published in a neat pamph-
let; the public journals and reviews speak of
them in terms of unqualified praise"

ANOTHER SET OF DIRECTIONS.

l.. Commence speaking whilst respiring, or
in other words when the breath is going out,
and speak slowly. (The always at
tempts to speak whilst drawing in the breath,
but seldom succeeds in uttering a word or SEN
tence, until he has taken a full inspiration, and
begins to respire, when he speaks huen1ly un-
til he begins again to draw his breath)
2. Place the tongue fiat on the bottom OF the
mouth, before attempting to speak. (The SIAM
merer's tongue always cleaves TO tl,e roof, and
is there kept by striving to speak whilst inspir-
ing)

was Of a trivial nature, and related only to some
transactions at Client. What evidence then
have we of corrupt bargaining? the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Clay aforGs none; for his eminent
qualific ations-his brilliant public career-his
known and acknowledged patriotism, pointed
him out, not only to Mr.. Adams, but to his pre-
decessors, as a proper person to be placed IN
the cabinet; and we shall be greatly deceived,
if public opinion do not sanction his appoint
mcnt. The administrators should be Judged by
its acts, and by those alone. Justice awards
condemnation only when guilt is proved-and
yet we are called on 10 pronounce sentence "a
gainst men, who have stood pre-eminent for
their talents and services, on vague suspicion,
unsupported by even circumstantial evidence.
Were the people of this country as ignorant as
the poor, debased peasantry of Europe, the call
might be sus,ained-but while they have access
to the same sources Of Information as those
who make The appeal, the effort to impose on
their credulity will be Intellectual"
Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1826-11-01

Luckily, however, Mr.. Clay will find a prece-
dent, in the objections volunteered by General
Jackson against a military Chief'ain" OF the
Revolution, the late Isaac Shelby, of Kentucky,
when the President was about to confer on him
the appointment Of Secretary of war. BY the
same authority (Gen. JacksonD the objection
made 10 Mr.. Adams, that he was once a Fede-
ralist, vanishes; we have it under his sign ma
nuel. as the volunteer adviser OF the late Presi-
dent, that party distinctions arc all a iarce*
The very men who now denounce Mr.. Clay,
for not having changed his opinion OF General
Jackson's principles and pretenslons, protested
10 entertain the same opinions, expressed in
1919, confirmed by the subsequent acts and "a
vowals Of General Jackson: nor was the small
est indication given Of a change, until II was as
certained, that the election would devolye on
the House Of Representatives, and the prospect
of the Generals success brighiened: when sud-
denly the settled opinions of years were aban-
doned, and the man whom they had, upon the
most deliberate investigation, pronounced to be
a military tyrant, regardless OF all atc, as if by
a miracle, became pre-emlnently qualified for
the office Of Chief Magistrate In a government
Of Iaus. Some of the gentlemen whose judg-
ments were thus wonderfully Illuminated, pre-
tended that they were sincere in their former
opinions. but that on becoming personally &C
quainted with General Jackson, they became sa-
the General, and suite, were at Washington during
the debate, and members of Congress were threatened
with the loss of their ears, for daring to maintain the
truth Of accusations. A messenger was even despatch
ed to Richmond, Va. s'to drag out, % as the phrase is, the
author of certain essays in the Enquirer.
'The letters here alluded to, were published in the
winter of 1885, in consequence of some misunder-
standing between Mr.. Lowrie and Mr.. Monroe.

French Female Patriotism.-An affecting
scene, worthy Of ancient times, took place
at Mulhauscn, when l arrived there. A
ball was given, the most distinguished per-

the close of the evening, war and invasion
out of the territory were talked Of; every
one communicated his advice, every one
told him his hopes and fears.
The ladies' were talking together, and
conversed on the dangers of their country.
On a sudden, one Of the youngest propos-
ed to her companions that they should
swear never to marry any Frenchman who
had no defended the frontiers. Cries of

A Weish Song, by Mr.. Roscoe.
Vale Of the Cross the shepherds tell
IT'S sweet within thy woods to dwell,
Fo, there are sainted shadows seen,
That frequent haunt the dewy green;
In wandering winds the dirge is sung,
The convent bell with spirits runs,
And matin hymns and vesper prayer
Break softly on the tranquil air.
Vale Of the Gross (! the shepherds tell,
IT'S sweet. within thy woods to dwell,
For peace has there her spotless throne,
And pleasures to the world unknown;
The murmurs of the distant rills,
The sabbath silence ofthe hills,
And all the quiet God has given
Without the golden gates of heaven!

Elegant Ertructs.-The first volume in

lean authors, is just published. II is neatly
printed in stereotype from the foundry Of
Messrs. Carter & Co. and is embcllished
with four finely executed engravings, among
which are the portraits of Knox, the origi-
nal compiler, Addison, and Ames. The
publisher deserves commentator and en-
couragement, for having employed only the
most skilful artists in the execution Of these
embellishments. The portrait of Ames, in
particular, is a handsome engraving, and an
excellent likeness. Among the additions to

ruin, and the one above whose moulder-
ing form no stored monument or sculp-
tured marble tells how he ended his ex-
i~stence: There is something ! say, in
all this, which should bow the mighty to
the earth and cause the humble slave
to walk with a proud heart and kindling
eye before him who beats him. This is
a common place theme-but the mind Of
man reverts often to it against his will.
There is nought which gives such a
blunt to the distinctions Of earth-which
by reflection will subdue every cause Of
envy, as this simple but all important
theme. Look at the mighty Of Old
the philosophers and statesmen Of years
gone by! Where are they? How many
are forgotten! Their deeds are slumber-
ing in the lap of oblivion-the wave Of
time hath swept their histories into the
boundless sea of eternity-the fallen wall
conceals their sepulcbres in the lonely
aisles of their forefathers--and the night
winds sigh among the ruins where once
the song O f.joy and burst of gladness
stole forth from the heart of glec; and
the lustre of many all eye is shrouded
in the deep Graves night, which
kindled with love, and looked abroad
upon the varied scenes of nature with
admiration and delight. Alas! the pride
of man goes down with him into the
dust! it withers when the lamp of his
transient existence fickers out into the
long slumbering of the tomb? Where
are they who sounded the Clarion of
war along the plains of Thessaly-the
Mount of Marathon, and "Samos' rocky
isle!? The trumpets' voice has died
upon the breeze-the thousands which it
aroused have gone to rest-the castles
which have been subdued and won, on
whose walls the spear glittered and the
capnon pealed, have crumbled into dust
the ivy fingers about the decaying
turrets-the raven builds her nest in the
easements, and sends upon the ear Of
midnight her desolate wailings--,he owl
boots where the song was heard--and
man, proud man, who once fought and
won-him who reared the structure,
"Sleeps where all must sleep"
His memory is not in the bosom OF the
guide who conducts the traveller among
the shadowy magnifcence of other ages,
and he is forgotlen!-ShouId 10, these
things-lhe mutability of earthly gran
deur-pour into the soul deep and last
ing preparations for that great last
change, when a long and dreamless
slumber falleth upon mann When the
nauseous earth worm preys alike upon
the hero and the cottager, in the narrow
bourne where

And pain is lulled to rest"

"Leayes have their times TO fall,

JIG tTHIts 10 TdH,
And flowers TO wither at the north winds breath:
And stars to set-but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o! Death"
Who hath not thought of the dark and
gloomy abodes Of the dead-the sepul-
chre-alike ofthe proud King and the
humble Cottager, along whose brow the
care and labor Of years have scattered
many a furrow---and whose only hope
in the toll and turmoil of "life's bleak
waste" is the blessed assurance, per-
chance, Of a happy Immortality! There
is something in the dreary precincts OF
Of the "narrow house," where all lie un-
distinguished together-the mighty and
the noble in state, magnificent in their
