ECsrACY.

Soon after the promulgaton of Dr. Chal-
mer's fame, he preached in London, on .
public occasion, in Rowland Hills Chapel.
His audience was numerous and principally
of the higher circles. Upwards of one hun
drcd clergymen were present, to whom the
front seats in the gallery were appropriated.
In the midst of these sat Mr.. Hill himself.
in state ef great anxiety, arising from his
hopes, and fearful that he should not sue
ceed before an audience SO refined and cri-
tical. The doctor as usual began in his low
monotonous tone, and his broad provincial
dialect was visibly disagreeabe to the deli
cate ears of his metropolitan audience. Poor
Mr.. Hill was now upon the rack; but the
man of God having thrown his chain around
the audience, took an unguarded moment to
touch it with the electric fluid If his oratory;
and in moment every heart began to throb
and every eye to fill. Knowing we'll how to
take advantage of this bold stroke, he con-
tipued to ascend; and so majestic and rapid
was his flight, that in few minutes he at
tanned an eminence so high, that every ina
gination was enraptured. The rapid change
from depression to joy which Mr.. Hill ex-
pei fenced, was too much for HIM TO pear.
He felt so bewildered and intoxicated with
ioy, that unconscously he started up from
his scat. and before his brethren could inter-
ffcre. he struck the front of the gallery with
his clenched fist, and roared out with STEM
torian voice" Well done, Chalmers:'

Looks, fresh as light from star just discovered
And voices that music might take for her

And pointing his wand to the sunset before me-
Said, with a voice like the hollow wind,

But scarcely again had the dark wizard fut

they find vanity and vexaton of spirit
written ndelibly on the things of time, but
warn not the young and too often sanguine
pilgrims of the dangers, the temptations, and
illusions in the path before them; nor do
they teach them to put their trust in Him
who alone can guide US safely through
world of sin and sorrow; a world bright and
beautiful indeed to every youthful soul, and
until sin mars its loveliness untouched by
sorrow. "Train up a child i'll the way he
should CO. and when he is old he will not de-
part from it." This maxim was written by
one of VIII n it was declared expressly, that
in wisdom and understanding there was none
like him before him, neither should any a.
rise after him, and many, very many par
ents have found their advice and counsel to
be like "bread cast upon the waters, ap-
pearing after many days" even when their
sons and daughters have apparently forgot
ten their precepts, and overturned the altar
| in their own hearts, which formerly was
wont to offer incense Of prayer and praise to
| season walk in the broad path which lead
9Th to destruction, yet there are moments of
!, depression when the soul feels the INSULT

to a W.. unded spirit, disappointments and sor-

tree was suffered to grow up in rank luXu-
riance; it's boughs spread far and wide, but
it was not pruned and trimmed--all its sap
is expended in useless foliage. In the spring
there was no blossom, in the autumn we can
expect no fruit; and too many have to la

ment, of which the little-souled, selfish, con-
temptible creatures, who have been endeaVor-
ing to assail him with their puny weapons, are
incapable of forming a conception. Compared
with him, they remind me OF the petty, grovel-
ling reptiles, which crawl around the base CT
some towering pyramid, whose polished height
they are unable TO ascend, and whose beatty,
elevation, and grandeur, they are utterly inca
pable Of comp pretending. Of all the noble evil
dences which the Secretary OF State has given
of the purity and independence of his character,
consider his vote, and his course at the late
Presidential election, the most noble.
He saw on one hand, the sacrifice OF friend
ship, and of popularity, which awaited his
support of Mr.. Adams; on the other hand,
he beheld the advantage which his country
would derive from such a course-he hest
taed not--but marched TO the altar OF his
country, and with his characteristic ndepend-
ence, made an oblation of that friendship
and that popularity, for her welfare. True, he
had once differed with Mr.. Adams, in some
points of commercial and diplomatic policy,
and this difference may have produced some
little GOODNESS between them, it so, was Henry
Clay the man to remember a matter OF this
sort, SO as to permit it to influence bis decision
upon great national question, involving the
interests; the happiness, and the final destiny
Of this country?
No! his soul lowered above even momenta-
~ indulgence of such consideration. He knew
Mr.. Adams was great and good man, and
that he would make great and good Presi-
dent, and for HMM preference to man whom
he did not believe entitled to the station-he
unhesitatngly voted. And for this act Of pa
triotism and magnanlmty, he is subjected to
the obloquy of all the kennel presses" Of the
nation. But shall they prevails against him?"
Never!-Can they make the nation believe that
Henry CIay-whose talents, and whose reputa-
ton, for high unbending republican integrity,
the clarion Of fame has sounded throughout
every region where freedom has votary-bar-
tered his independence for an office which he did
not covet?
Can they make the nation believe, that he
who so often breasted the torrent of popularity,
and buffeted the waves Of strong Congression-
al majority, in defence Of measures which, if he
had been time-server, he could easily have a.
bandoned--and in behalf of liberty in foreign
land, which he had no per onal interest in adj
vocsting, would surrender his self-respect, and
his honorable feelings. for an office in the gift
of one man? No. to the acceptance of this Of
fee he was prompted, not by any principle OF
sel6shness, but by the purest motives OF patriot
ism. And hen the malicious insects which
are now buzzing around, and endeavoring to
darken the lustre of his reputation, shall have
withered in its brightness, his glory shall shine
as the sun in the armament.

. VIRGINIA POLITICS.

The following is from the pen of southern
gentleman of distinguished literary character;
and we trust it will be read by our patrons with
as much interest as by ourselves-the subject
of the article is not its only interesting feature,
for we must declare, that the language and
style pleases US as much as that of any political
paper we have read:
Ii the contest at the next Presidential election
should be confined TO Mr. ADAMS and General
JACKSON, my opinion is that Virginia will be
pretty nearly equally divided between them. If
II were not for the influence Of the Richmond
Enquirer, and few Of the most prominent par
tisans of exclusive Southern domination. most
ly resident IN Richmond, but found thinly scat
tered through every section of the State-I feel
no doubt that large majority Of the popula-
ton oil Virginia would be decidedly in favor of
MIR Adams. The unambitious, indenendent
portion of her citizens, who are sufficiently en-
frightened to think for themselves, are, general
ly, am convinced, satisfied, if not pleased, with
the measures of the existing administration.
But, unfortunately for the true interests of the
nation, there prevails an organized system of
aristocracy in that State, which measurably for
ces her elections in whatever direction the Rich
mond Enquirer and its coadjutors wish them to
move. This result is effected principally thro'
Inc agency ofthree causes, viz.-ehe system OF
eeSuon by general ticket-the non-existence Of
.ne oa',o'.oox at the hustings--and the consti-
'aonai disqualification of large portion oil

A SCENE IN A PRIVATE MAD-HOUSE.
By M G. Leaois, Esq
ssStay, gaoler, stay, and hear my woe!
She is not mad who kneels to thee,
For what Pm now, too well know,
And what Twas, and what should be.
I'll rave no more in proud despair,
My language shall be mild, though sad;
But yet rll firmly, truly swear,
lam not mad! am not mad!
Mytyrant husband forged the tale
Which chains me in this dismal cell,
My fate unknown my friends bewal-
OH gaoler, haste that fate to- tell
Oh! haste my fathers heart to cheer;
His heart at once twill grieve and glad,
10 know, though kept captive here,
lam not mad! am not mad!
tie smiles in scorn, and turns the key!
He quits the CRATE! knelt in vain!
His glmm'rng lamp, still, still see.
IT'S gone-and all is gloomagain!
Cold, bitter cold--no warmth no light,
Life, all thy comforts once had!
Yet here Pm chained this freezing night,
Although not mad. no, no! no, mad!
lis sure some dream! some vision vain;
What /, the child of rank and wealth!
Am the wretch who clanks this chain,
Bereft of freedom, friends, and health
All while dwell on blessings fed,
Which never more my heart must glad,
How aches my heart! how burns my head!

Hast thou, my child, forgot, ere this,
A mothers face, mothers tonguel
She'll ne'er forget your parting kiss,
Nor round her neck how fast you chung;
Nor how with me you sued to stay,
Nor how that suit your sire forbade,
Nor kow-f'll drive such thoughts away
They'll make me mad! they'll make me mad
His rosy lips, how sweet they smiled!
His mild blue eyes, how bright they shonef
None ever bore lovelier child!
And art thou now forever gomez
And must never see the more,
My pretty, pretty little lad1
,ciH be free unbar the door!
lam not mad! | am not mad!
Oh, bark what mean those dreadful cries.
His chain some furious mailman breaks!
He comes see his glazing eyes,
Now, now my dungeon CRATE he shakes
Help! help!-he's gone!-Oh! fearful woe,
Such screams to hear, such sights to see
My brain, my brain! know, know
am not mad-but soon shall be!
Yes, soon!-For, 10 yon!-whilc 1 speak
Mark how yon demons eyeballs glare!
He sees me-now with dreadful shrek,
He whrls serpent high in air.
Horror! the reptile strikes his tooth
Deep in my heart, so crushed and sad!
Ay, laugh, We 6ends! feel the truth!
Your task is done Pm mad! Pm saad!'
