THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

Instead Of engaging in the bitter war Of per-
sonal elimination and re -criminatiou which at
this moment unhappiiy engages almost univer-
sally the pens Of politicians & the public press,
let US for brief space turn our attention to a
more enlarged and Constitutional view Of the
questions which present themselves on coming
10 the serious consideration o. the relative
claims Of General JACKSON and Mr.. ADAMS to
the public suffrage at the next Presidential E.
lection.
1t is too early, perhaps, to enter seriously in
TO the consideration Of the subject at all But
we and the Public have not been allowed To
chuse.s The question has been prematurely
forcedupon the attention OF The People; and no
man in public life can longer stand aloof from
it without .subjecting himself to the imputaiion
of insincerity or interested motives.
The immediate objec, of the wise trainers of
our Constitution was, in order 10 protect our
rights and liberties from foreign encroat hment,
to raise revenue for the support of Govern
ment, for which purpose the old Confederation
had already proved itselfto be Inefficient. This
object the Constitution has most faithfully and
successfully answered, and will continue to do
so unless the new School of S,a,e.Risht poll.
ticians shall (Which may Providence in its
goodness ayertD succeed in bringing back
this Government 10 the state Of sickly imbecll-

of its present frame for that of the Coafedera-
ton.
But the trainers Of the Constitution had 9TH
er and ye, more important objects, viz: TO es-
tablish ORE Il. and prevent usurpaion at home.
As the surest means Of doing this, they based
the Government upon the principle Of the pub
lie will and public veal, to be ascertained, Pc

Lines on The death of the Rep DIR WILLIAM H. WILMER
late Rector Of 81 PauFs Church, alexandria, H. Z.
'Ts the good malls consolation in the hour o. death,
To know-that when his mortal body dies,
And his pure spirit shall ascend to God,
His memory here on earth shall not die too.
Twas thine, departed WILMER this to know;
Twas thine to feel, in the last solemn hour,
When the bright soul shakes off its mortal coil,
And bids adeu to earth's vain, foolish JOYS,
That those who knew thy virtue and thy worth,
Would still revere thy name. That the cold earth
Which soon would hide thee from our sorrowng eyes
Could not conceal the deeds, done while the flesh
Was strong and spirit willing.
How often, from the sacred desk have We not heard
This pious herald Of Gods word, in accents mild,
Beseeching men to turn their hearts Alright,
And disregarting AL that earth can give or lend,
Place their sole hopes on heavens high King
Sand armed himself in panopy complete
OF heavenly temper" We have seen him oft
Attacking sin with arguments divine;
And winning souls from errors fatal path.
But this alas! is past-No more shall we
Hear his wise counsels: more receive
The consolation he wont to pour
Into the wounded spirit. No more with him
Send ur our prayers to Heaven.
Death came--hut with him brought no terror.
He was but the messenger thascaed
The good man to his Fathers bosom.
We mourn--but not rs those
Who have no hope-we look beyond
"Ths vale of tears, to brighter worlds on high
We see the disembodied spirit cleared of all
Its earthly dross, and shining bright with glory,
Welcomed by Angels into heavens portals
Triumphant thought! well may the Christian say
Death has no sting for me-The grave
No victory that can daunt my soul.
Learning has lost a noble friend
Genius will long deplore his fate, and mourn
Her sad bereavement. The classic halls,
Where late he opened forth the treasures
Of his u,:nl, and poured around
Instruction, win long be filed with sorrow
His was the happy, envious lot
To be friend to all, and most Of al
Toyouth. The young can meier forget
His kind, parental, fostering
Departed Spirit! may keep,
AS some dear, precious legacy
The bright example thou his left us!
May our thoughts oft turn to the. And o.
That may so pursue weary pilgrimage
Through this dark dreary world,
That when We come TO leave its shores,
We may be prepared with thee to stand
Before the throne, and with thee
To raise our voices in the heavenly hymn. S.

MANUFACTURE OF FLANNELs.


Between Salisbury and Amesbury, about
3miles above Newburyport, the river Pow
ow discharges itself into the Merrimack
On the Salisbury side Of this stream is a
flannel factory that employs 80 hands, and
manufactures weekly 100 pieces flannel
and paws yearly $4,000 for labor. On the
Amcsbury side Of the Powow is a factory
that employs $50 workmen, manufacture.
200 pieces Of funnel per week, and paws
annually $4,000 for labor. A new build
ing is erecting, which will contain 10000
spindles, and manufacture 400 pieces 81
flannel per weekly " american.
Let rs calculate these filings There are
three works in our neiglborhood, and in
the whole, not of extraordinary capacity.
which, from the data furnished, viii employ
$40 persons whose annual wages AMOUNT
20 10000 dollars; producing of flannel
81, 400 pieces; containing AZ to a piecel
I,7IUS00 yards; requiring wool 100000
pounds.
As the amount of ledges paid averages
227 dollars for each person, it follows that
"A large portion of the people are adults,
and, probably, heads of families-it is,
therefore, reasonable to conclude that their
may amount to the value of 100000 dollars
a year, leaving 10000 for clothing and 9th
er articles, &c. Add this to the cost of
wool, and these three manufactures FIR
nish a home-market TO our agriculturists
that may be moderately estimated as equal
to 10000 dollars year.
Now, as the flannel is esteemed to have
an average (wllolesale,l value of from 40 to
10 cents per yard. (say the formerly the

very large sum-a million, at least and
the simple interest on this capital employed
is 100000 year.
And, If this flannel, which is made al
