SPRING SADDLES.

4 WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY RTDIN0
The complaint against hard and uneasy saddles,
which is for the most part just and general one, and
is really grievance to those who have much riding
do has caused him his mind particularly to that
subject, with view, possible, to remedy the evil
lie can with confidence the public that he has
accomplished it. The plan projected is by means OF
strong and well tempered steel springs, constructed
as to support the saddle seat and give much greater
ease TO both rider and horse than saddles made in the
common wav or any other that he has ever pos
sibly do The plan is entirely different from the En-
gHsh elastic saddles with spring bars Of steel, whale
bone. &C. and also from those with wire springs and
he conceves much superior to either, the elasticity
is greater. and the tree not being put out gifts original
form, will not be subject to hurting horses on Journeys
which is complained ofn the saddles with spring bars
number of gentlemen have those saddles now muse
and but one sentiment exists among them in favor OF
their superiority. The invention is equally aoplca
Bile to ladies' saddles as to gentenens. Any person
DESTROYS ofpurchasng those easy saddles, at liberty
first to make trial of one and Judge of their ease fox
themselves In point Of durability they will be war
ranted equal to any other saddles and superior to most

From the Norfolk Herald.

The reader will find among the foreign intel
lgence in to.day's paper, some amusing sketch
es Of the eccentricities OF our worthy Senator
JOHN RANDOLPH Of Roanoke, Eve love to give
the whole name,) taken by the Liverpool edi-
tors, which are in perfect keeping and true 10
the life. Among Englishmen John will always
shew 10 advantage: for, besides his amusing Cd
dties, his veneration ofeyery thing that apper-
tans 10 them--their "monarchv and ALL has
kept even peace with his contempt for his own
countrymen, and their republican habits and E.
quality so far as to render il doubtful whether
the humiliation of the relics Of arstocracy in
his native State, by Mr.. Jefferson, was not the
secret cause of his antipathy 10 thot great man.
In Liverpool therefore he was, what he never
is in his own country, extremely agreeable, en-
tertaining, and even instructive; Tor he has
wonderful genius, ready wit, and terse, pithy
and pungent manner Of expression. We were
pleased with his ardent reclprocation OF the
good feelings Of the British minister and other
dignitarirs towards this country, but slckened-
quite sickened, at the puffy, old-womanish de-
cIaration Of his pride at having English blood
in his veins" This was indeed, small busl-
ness. On this side OF the Atlantic ne boasts OF
his Indian blood! Thus making himself out,
as Kentuckian would say, half English, half
Indian, with small cross of the Man in the
Moon; and paraking the distinctive attrib-
u,es of each. But John is worshiper OF an.
ient blood, and the little that runs in his veins,
Aboriginal as we'll as English, can be traced
back more than three centuries, flowing, on the
maternal side, from royal source. 1t will be
seen that he INDUCED his British predictions
quite as much as became arepublican oenator,ln
his superfne compliment to Lord Liverpool,
(whose high toned tory principles are so
congenial to the feelings OF Mr.. KS constr
tuents) in his affection for the king; and in
his adherence of"the dregs" and 81 the froth
of society "-(Perhaps he was just then think
ing Of Tins and the porter) We looked to
see something about the "swinish multitude"
the sty of democracy" or other similar beau
ties, but this would have been too much for
one time.-To be serious, we have no objection
that Mr. Randolph should fly to other countries
to exhibit himself as rara aUis in ferris, Tor the
wonderment Of the multitude; but we have a
strong one to his being received alb road as
sample of the democracy Of The American peo-
pie; and we do sincerely hope that this will be
his last flight as Senator OF the United States.

having the Spanish army before him, & the sea
behind him, thus addressed his soldiers: "lfyou

up that sea-"

GREECE.

Doctor Bally, who has charge Of the military
hospitals Of Greece, has written letter to a
friend, which is published in the Journal du
Commerce, and after detailing the difficulties
at first experienced, proceeds to say that he
thinks the consequences Of the fall Of Missol6n-
CHI are too much exaggerated, but that it seem.
ed 10 deprive the National Assembly Of all re-
Election, and to induce them to hasten to solicit
England to treat with the Sultan for their exis-
tence. A moment Of terror, says he, decides
not the destines Of a race Of heroes. At the
commencement of the revolution the Greeks
had not single fortress. They now have A.
thens, Napoli. Moldavia and Corinth, and so
defended by nature that they can only be sub
dued with famine. They had neither arms nor
clothing for the regular troops, and on this
score they have now nothing to desire. The
cabinets of Europe, foreseeing in this commo-
ton nothing but movement which would be
easily aimed, showed at first indifference, and
we're even opposed 10 it. At the present time,
such is the state Of things that they can do no
less than favor that which is in harmony with
the general interest He says, that the Ma
tional Assembly in proposing the negotiation
with the Turks, believed that they could save
their wives and children from murder, and that
this was the motive that produced the mea-
sure. Prince Ypsilanti protested solemnly a.
gainst such step, in the presence Of the AS
sembly, and swore 10 shed the last drop Of his
blood with those who would fight for national
independence" Doctor Bailly is distinguish
ed man, and the French papers say. entitled to
full credit as well from personal character as
for means Of information. The proposition Of
the National Assembly is published at length,
and also the protest Of Ypsilanti. He says
" Does the fall of Missolonghi brighten you;
trust to the energy and patriotism of the nation.
The west of Greece is second Missolonghi
Is il the want of resources which embarrass
you; appeal to the generosity Of your fellow ci-
items: never was there Greek deaf to the
voice Of his country Does money fail you; let
us ratify our debts believe it to
be my most sacred duty to protest; do protest
most solemnly, before all Greece, and all Chris
tian nations, against an act, which consider IL
legal, anti-hellenic, and unworthy of nation,
who, though conquered moro than once, has
never yet treated with tyrants,"

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

owe perceive that some movements have al
ready been made, preparatory to the next presl-
Dental election. Among others, meeting
was held in Philadelphia, on the 25th ult. at
which gen. Jackson was nominated. AS almost
three years must elapse before the end Of the
present presidential tern, it appears TO US pre-
mature to commence war OF words, and to ex-
cite the feelings ofthe citizens, upon matter
the decision of which is so remote. For our
part, our course has been TO allay, If practical
BILE, the acrimonious feelings to which the late
strife gave birth. With this view, we have
more than once rejected from our columns, ar
ticles offered to us for publication, inreply to, &
in REPUTATION of charges Of, bargaining, corru2-
ton, &c made against the president and the
secretary Of state. We had not given currency
to those charges, and Of course did not deem
ourselves under any obligation to enter upon

THE GENIUS OF DEATH.
What is DEATH IT'S to be free;
No more to love, to hope, or fear,
To join the great equality:
Al, all, alike are humbled there.
The mighty grave
Wraps lord and slave,
Nor pride nor poverty dares come,
Within that refuge house-the tomb
Spirit with the dropping wing,
And the ever weeping eye,
Thou ofall earth's kings art king;
Empires at ty footstoolie:
Beneath thee strewed.
Their multitude,
sink, like waves upon the shore
Storms shall never rouse them more.
whats's the grandeur of the earth,
TO the grandeur of thy throne!
Riches, glory, beauty, birth,
TO thy kingdom all have gone:
Before thee stand,
The wond' rous band
BardS, heroes, sages, side by side,
Who darken'd nations when they died,
Earth has hosts, but thou canst show
Many million to her one;
Through thy gates the mortal flow
Has for countless years rolled on.
Back from the tomb,
No step has come:
There fx'd till the last thunders sound,
Shall bid thy pris'ners be unbound.

In consequence OF this letter tie Secretary yvas
called before the Congress, and in a secret session,
communicated TO them his plan for surrendering
the navigation to Spain for twenty-five or thirty
years!
The members of Virginia and other Southern
States resisted this proposition, because
l. IL would dismember the Union.

Southern States.
