Your Virt,Ie il.

| 'hcfe ne shouiu YOU iiohs, hhus youhiteSj
Where foxes, geese.
Your Virtue is,
To make him worthy, whose offence subdues him,
And curse that justice did Who deserves greatness,
Deserves your hate: your affections arc
SICK mans appetite, who desires most that
Which would increase his evil. lie that depends
Upon your fayors, swms with fins Of lead,
And hues down oaks with rushes. Hang ye trust We
With every minute you do change mind
And call him noble, that now your hate,
Him vile, that was your garland.
CAIus MARCUS To THE MOB,
SHAMEFUL The city Of Pittsburg, so famed in
the annals of the West Pennsylvania Whiskey In
surrecton, the burning Of e.ligies, mob. &C. il is
probable would be quite decent sort Of place,
if it did not contain certain JoHN MeFARLANp,
an Irishnan, and editor OF the Pttsbrrg Democrat.
lie is man Of fertile invention ar3entiy a.tached to
the Of liberty, and Ireland aud processes to be
one of the most devoted patriots found ia this
country. A very considerable portion OF The pop
ulation of Pittsburg, lri.hmen, and as Mr..
Mcfarland is always preaching up to thea the
sufferings Of Ireland and holding up to their view
the bleeding corses of Emmett and Shel, who fell
martyrs in the attempt to throw off the yoke which
CALLED the necks of their couutrymen, he possesses
Il decided influence over their actions.
Hence, at any moment he rally around him
band of desperadoes, who act at his nod, and bow
a. his wink. At the public meetings of thai city,
Mr. Mcfarland always forms conspicuous figure,
and too often carries his views Into operation by
clamorous outcry about Liberty and Equality, and
the niquity Of John Quincy Adams and Henry
Clay--for the of these gentlemen are the
watch-words by which he rallies his parasites. He
was leader in the memorable mob at the Theatre,
and Grand Seignior at the Carnival, when they
hung, burnt, and drowned Mr.. CLAY in efigy.
On the 2lst ultimo, he again figured as the dis.
tuib ber OF the public peace, and as the promoter Of
broils. public meeting had been called, to de-
wise ways and means to offer suitable testimonials OF
respect to the memory o.: the ustvious characters
Of JOHN ADAMS and THOMAS JEFFERSON, when
he introduced shameful scene Of confusion and
disorder. The Hon. William Wilkins offered sew
eral resolutions, which requested the Mayor ofthat
city to address letters of coincidence to the families
of the illustrious dead-to require the Company of
Artillery TO parade, and to the national flag
to wave at half-nlast during the day-and lastly to
desire some one ofthe Cergymen Of the city to de-
liver sermon. Before the question could be act
ed upon, MIR. Mcfarland rose and offered several
resolutions, in opposition to those by Mr.. Wilkins
the substance of which was, that, as Mr.. JEFFER-
SON desired to be buried without pomp or parade,it
would not be proper for the citizens to take any
steps, which he, if alive, would not approve-that
ofof
copduct of JOHN ADAMS while living, it was i'm
proper to offer him any honors when dead--and
that those who got up the meeting, have the thanks
Of the populace, and liberty TO adjourn.
These resolutions Mr.. Mcfarland supported in
speech Of some length, in which he sud that as
Mr.. Jefferson was not in the habit Of hearing many
sermons when living, he could not about ha-
ing them preached to him, when dead. As for
old John Adams, he knew him to be an Unitarian,
and consequently, as he could not be benefited by
that doctrine preached by the Divnes of Pttsburg,
he could not perceive that funeral sermon would
accelerate his journey to the kingdom Of Heaven.
| lie was opposed by several gentlemen, and the
resolutions Of Mr.. Wilkins finally adopted,
and we are happy to say that the names of Adams
and Jefferson honored by ke citizens of Pitts
| burg.
| The speech Of Mr.. McF arland, whichwe shall
not copy, was distinguished by its excessive vic.
lence, and denunciation of the present Executive
and his Cabinet--and he announced, as his unequv-
ocal belief that the attempt TO get up meeting OF
common coincidence, for the loss Of MIR. ADAMS, was
nothing more or less than attempt to bolster up,
what he was pleased 10 call a sinking and corrupt
| administration. He considered it ant:-republican
to offer testimonials of gratitude TO either Of the two
men,, and for expressing any regret for their de
mise, he considered such thing ridiculous-for
their departure from this world was Of right matt
ter of rejoicing. The whole of conduct pur-
sued by Mr.. Mcfarland and his partizans, seems to
have been actuated by wish to aid the prospects
of General JACKSON, and to reduce the popularity
Of Mr.. ADAMS administration.
The conduct of the Jacksonites on this occasion,
although it be such to tinge the cheek ei every
grateful American, cannot be deprecated, for the
influence it may have on the minds OF the people,
Instead Of strengthening the cause Of the Tennessee
an, il must certainly weaken it-for who will min
ole with band of mobocrats, who have no regard
for the virtues of the fathers Of the country, and
