To claim our trust without Egeria's aid
And Quincy's record, on the page of fame,
Shall stand with Cyprus, and with Ardea name.
| Grave in the Senate such his noble mien
As in that ancient Forum once was seen,
When the wild Gaulsh army paus'd in awe.
! And naughty Brennus how'd at what he saw,
When first those Senators of Rome he viewed,
| Sitting in Silence, dauntess, unsubdued,
And thought those whiterobed men, small the Odds
No captive Senate, but assembled Gods.
So sat that Congress which declsr'd, that We,
The people of these States were thenceforth Free.
And British soldiers, fr'd with noble fame,
Wept that to fratricide most base they came.
With sword aud musket, they oppugn our laws;
With heart and SOUL they cry, God speed the cause.
But still for king and Duty bold they fight;
And yet we conquerin tie name ofRight.
Twas then, to Adams, and his compeers turn'd,
The eyes of all the path of Freedom learn'd.
Twas then, attentive to their deep debates,
We learn'd the destinies of Sovereign States.
Twas then, as moved by accents from the skies,
While all our gathering glory he describes.
Our Adams spoke: 81 see through all the gloom,
"The rays oflight and glory which illufhe
sour risen country; can see the end
els more than worth the means that we expend.
''Posterty shall triumph in the cause
"Of Liberty, Religion, Equal Laws.
"Then solemnize this day by praise to Heaven, [even
'with pomp, shows, games, guns, hells from morn til
Throughout this Continent, one chorus send,
s'From this time forth, till time itself shall end"
One half century hath rolpd away,
And pomp shows. games gums, BELLS proclaim the day
Yes, we have stood at dawn on Bunker's height,
And seen the sun Ull forth his Fifteth Light,
And heard the welcomings which freemen raise
On this the proudest of their festal days
o 'twa. thrilling an enrolling hour!
Nor Greek, Roman breast e'er felt its power.
And then pass streets, each walk each square,
And see fair FORMS gay hearts, bright faces there,
Who, as ne saw this sight, and felt that glow,
Wish'd not pilgrimage of pride to go,
To kneel beside the bed of Quncy's sage,
To hail him Father ofthis happy age. OROLIO.

in the ranks ofmen. At one time he was a caAdi-
date for the Chief Magistracy ofNew-York, buSu
this attempt, 10 elevate himselfto the gubanatoris
chair, he failed, and from that day to this. he has
declined in the estimation Of the public. II Is said
that in offering himself candidate tor the execu-
tive chair of New York, he was imposed upon by
quizzcal friends, who made him believe that he
was a much greater man, than what he really
was.
In suffering himself TO be thus hello up to the
public gaze, as aspirant for the highest office of
one Of the most popuous states in the Union, MIR.
Southwick committed error, which will have
prejudicia effect his future fortune Ills fall and
political fate should teach newspaper Editors, that
a man may conduct weekly or semi-weekly with
great success, and yet no, be capable of managing
the great ship of State.
MIR. Southwick in the canvass TO which we al
lude probably sacrifced.a handsome competence, at
the shrine Of political ambition, and from life Of
comparative ease, has been reduced TO the sad ne
cessity, Of procuring liveihood,by editing news
paper on a salary.
We respect him because he is a native citizen Of
Rhode -Island-we admire him for his talents--we
honor him for his perseverance and industry-we
wish him every success in his new undertaking,
and hope he will give some salutarv lessons, to
teach US and others of the editorial corps, how to
escape those shoals and qucksands, on which he
stranded the hapless barque OF his early hopes and
fortune.

0J The Newport Republican opposes the cleo
ton of Mr.. Potter, TO the senate of the U. States
with great zeal and ability. The last paper COZ
tains the following paragraph sit is part OF the
policy of Elisha n. Potter, Esq. to induce the free
men to believe, that he is not candidate for Sen
a,or. We assure the public that he is candidate ;
that he is, every hour in his lfe making the most
determined violent and AGoSIzING struggles to OBJ
tain that office, at least Tor TWO YEARS. Let
Mr.. Potter deny this assertion ifhe thinks proper
and we will demonsrat the truth Of what we here
have written, by evidence that shall make even Mr.
Potter stare and wonder how he had BETRAYED
HIMSELF"

THE HARVEST FEsTIvAL.-This volume OF
poems we have spoken of before in commendatory
terms, and extracted quite literally from It's
pages. Since our last, the authors name, which
is FREDERICK S. HILL, has been made known To
the public and we cannot but congratulate HIM on
the success he has met with. We perceive that
writer in the New-England Galaxy has written
some structures on the performances of Mr.. Hill,
and is rather inclined to dispute the claim he has
obtained to the good wishes of those who have Pc
rused his sweet poems. Let him not however be
disco ged by the sneers of criticism, but rather
awake his Tyre TO bolder and more melodous lays.
He must expect, if he places himself upon the
world in the guise of an author, to meet with the
rebus of criticism, but its shafts should not lead
him to despair of ultimately arriving to eminence
as poet.
He certainly possesses poetical talents of no ord-
nary cast, and his modesty assures us, that he WILL
ifhe pursue the course he has commenced, ulti-
metely distinguish himself We hope that the
publishers will favor this market with few copies
of Mr.. Hills volume Of poesy.

DUELLIyG.-Ihe practice of duelling, which
has been prd,crbed by certain sections OF the
world in others has msny advocates; and 1t is In
vain that we attempt to put down In a moment,
what custom and education has from time imme-
mortal approved md sanctioned. In the western
and southern sections Of the United States, It will
probably obtain long as domestic slavery Is
known to exist and vice prevails. Singular as the
assertion NAV SEEM domestic bondage IS one of the
chiefcauses which lead to the dues of those states,
and if necessary, we can subsautate the assertion.
In New-Orleans the practice is common as the
smokn. of cigars, and it is not uncommon that null
titudes assemble at the Espanaide, TO witnes', in
the broad face OF day,a personal combat. Very
recently duel was fought IN that city between two
young men, which we shall recount in the glowing
language of NewOrlean newspaper.
sAn affair of honor took place on the 18th ult. be-
ween two citizens, growing out of Il private mis-
understanding. The fire was exchanged with pis-
tolls, but no effect beng produced, they had re-
course according to agreement to the small sword.
The affair ended in the death of one of the parties,
he having received his antag sword i'll his VII
tails. .>..
The names of the parties were Theadore Prevail.
aged nineiee years, and Zephir Canonge, and orig
mated in an afront having been offered to the Ia
ther of the former by Canonge. The following no.
death of Prevail is published 10 the New
Orleans papers -
"The friends of the family of Mr.. Preval-thc
friends of virtue and justice are informed that Mr.
Theodore Prevail, aged 10 years, terminated his ca
reer yesterday afternoon at o'clock, by frightfu
fatality. His corpse will be exposed at Mr.. B.
Mariguy's auxbours Marigny, from whence the
convoy will start for the church."
.'Dver the grave of young Prevail, discourse was
pronounced by Mr.. Pierre Landre TX, who alluded,
in warm language to the bravery aud fiial pictr o.
the youth who "ielt his blood heated with indig-
nation at the sight Of his father being cruelty out
ragged by despicable man, dishonored ior long
time in the public opinion" The address was con
cluled by the following anathema upon Prevails
murderer--whch, the Louisiana Courier observes,
was unanimously repeated by all persons present.
" For us, gentlemen, who sigh over tins grave,
Sn which the remains of our young friend repose.
Jet us all swear, in parting with him, to burthcn
forever his murderer with the weight of our con-
tempt, TO exclude him forever from the bosom OF
society, and to abandon him without pity 10 the
torments of remorse-I swear it.'
1t will be seen from this that vencratcd father
Of the Church, In his official Capacity, lauded the
fallen victim to the skies, VIII Isl he required his
congregation TO swear that they would burden the
surviving party with execratIons and contempt
Under this state of things can it be supposed that
Dueingwill ever be suppressed In Louisiana

SENATORIAL ELECTION 1t is now well know

SENATORIAL ELEcTIoN 1t is now well known
that Mr.. Potter, MIR. Robbins. and Mr.. john r.
Waterman, beside Mr.. job Durtee, and perhaps
two or three Others, will be candidates for the Office
of Senator to Congress at the October session Of the
General Assembly. What will be the result: time
alone can tell, but unless the people he on their
guard it is not unlikely that the opposition IN this
State will succeed in electing Mr.. Potter.
In relation 10 this affair, are authorised to
say, that the counties Of Kent and Bristol, have
some idea Of having candidate and Senator of
their own, and they begin to say that it is time
that they have a share iii the loaves and fishes
From what we can learn, we are Of all opinion,
that the contest for Senator will be long and ar
duous one, and it s probable that the man the peo
pie do not want, may be elected, if they are no,
vigiant. 1t is easy thing to the re-elec-
tio, of Mr.. Robbins, and il only remains for the
people to do their duty, if they wish to effect their
purposes.

QJ'CHIRoGRAPHY.--Th is now, in the hands
Of Mr. Mark Coffin Of Nantucket, specimens o
Ch:rographical performances which will astonisf
those who behold them. They consist Of several
pamphlets, of extracts from Cowper's works
Young Night Thoughts and in all amount 10
about two hundred pages. They were executed
in the year 8i2. at Clinton IN. W by Miss Han
nah Coffin, of Nantucket. who died about two
months since, Oh that Island.
These specimens limitations of printing, and
Of SEQ ch type about the SIZE of Long Primer, ard
50 admirably executed as to deceive the most crit-
cal observer, who would readily take them for ex-
quisite specimens Of Typography. Mics Coffin in
the year 1921 executed another work Of the kind
OF similar magnitude to that performed hy her IN
1912. 1t is extensive extract from the works OF
Lindley Murray in doing which, she she gave ele
CANT models Of Improvement, in the formation oi
type, and it may safety be pronounced one of the
most extraordinary specimens Of Chirography pre-
sented in any age. For this work, MIR. Mark Cof-
in, of Nantucket, the father of the young lady, ha
been offered one hundred and twenty dollar :,
which refused.
1t is proper to remark, that these several per-
iormances were I'll executed with the com,a per
aud without any other knowledge OF Typography
than that afforded by intuition. We profess to rc
somewhat acquainted with typographical work
maushp but in this instance, were SO deceived
that when we saw the works, we would not have
hesiiatcd to avow that they were executed with
the most elegant modern type.

Legal-A case Of some consequence has recently
been tried in the United States Circuit Court, Tor
the District of New-York. II may be interestln
10 gentlemen attached to the navy, and we p publish
the result II was brought by the Govermont ofthe
United States against Satterlee Clark, to recover
from the defendant the sum of S13 l03 83 cents
a. balance stated to be due from him. as late pay
TO the United States, by the second auditor
OF tne treasury department. The trial Of the cause
commenced on Friday morning at half past eight
O'Clock, on Saturday evening the jury came into
court and gave a verdict for the defendant. At the
last November term this canse was referred To
r chard Whyley, Alexander Ho,ack, and William
lronside Esqs. who upon their oaths reported that
there was balance due to the defendant from the
plaintiffs Of s27. g Ia cents. The report having
been set ASIDE and the rule of reference vacated,
new trial was had, which resulted az above.

0J.RAIN.-Within the last ten days greater
quantity of rain has descended than has fallen in the
whole OF the six previous montts;--and vegetation
is almost inundated. These rains have been at

Heaven" has been often heard to roll these five
years, as II has this summer.
