The ubnrtis- and incopgrnous oppos,-
ton to the Administration, in Congress.
may be well illustrated by the following
extract fram the Odyssey -
F" As when heap OF gnihtrd horns is east
Now to-now fro-before tn autumnal blast;
Together chung. it rolls around the field
So roll'd the Cont, and SO its texture held
And now the Southland now the North
bear sway,
| Aud now the East the foamy floods obey, }
Aud now tie UeH icind whirls il DER the
sea-
Now, as these thorns, when disbanded,
will inevitably annoy each other, II IL y
pity that they ever met--and so they WI

the ADAMS family-and the Jhersites of
Roanoke has assimilated him TO the race
of the STUARrs, fertile ia Blush reyulu-

INDUCING the same liberty of cnmpari-
son with others. in our opinion, the stua-
ton and the character of Mr. ADAMS arc
somewhat analogous to that of Ulysses,
on his turn to Ithaca, aud his coming in
To CONSTITUTIONAL possession of the CO.
veroment. After his opponents tsuiturs,
HOMER calls them had hpen overcome,
they stIIl kept up an uneasy shew of oppo

" o power supreme, oh ruler of the whole,
Say, ha thou doom d tn this divided state
Or ptaccfm amity.-or stern debate"

this prayer of his danghte, aud the follow

" Each future day increase OF wealth shall
bring,
And Ger The past obiiriOn stretch her loing,
Long shall ULYSSES IN his empire rest,
A people blessing, by people best.
Let there be PEACE !"
