THE DUTC1a EMIGRANT.

One hundred and eighty-seven years have
nearly elapsed since Derrick Won Hoogens-
perg landed at the westernmost point OF
Nantucket Island. He was fresh from the
region OF dykes and bitches, and was seek
ipp the goods and chattes of a rich uncle re-

driven to the eastward of her proper track,
and becalmed, Law so near the land, that he
was fain to 20 on shore in the yawl, and be-
hold for the first time sample of the new
world. He had scarcely disembarked, when
twenty or thirty young and halt tanned lndl-
ans. living concealed to his view on the sun
ny dec!iyity of sandy knoll, happened to
let forth broad horse laugh (at their own
Jokes doubtless, after the manner OF more
civilized benes) which startled his less ad-
yenturous comrades, who had not yet land
ed, that they pushed off leaving poor Derrick
utterly astounded, up to his knees in sea-
weed and conch shells.
Recovering from his amazement, Derrick
perceived himself deserted, and instructive

4 young woman of good education, aHa-
bic disposition and pleasing manners. was
seduced from the path OF virtue and inno-
cence, by the promise Of immediate mar
riage from her pertlduus lover. She bore
her fate sometime with tortitude and rcsig-
nation; but at length, becoming neglected
by her relatives and left dependent on the
charity of an unfeeling world, she resigned
herself to despair, and determined to end
her life by poison. AS she stretched forth
her hand to grasp the cup containing the IL
quld death, her eye by accident glanced OF
BIBLE which lay open on the table. The
holy book had been opened BY her child
which she then held to her bosom asleep
This sentence attracted her attenton:-
"Danghter, be of good cheer: thv sins are
70 given thee" Hope revived in her breast
and the angel OF mercy stayed the arm o
death!
"Sleep Oil my babe, thy sleep is calm,
Though plow'd onpolluion's breast,
Sleep on AMI sip that bosom balm
Which lulls thy little woes to rest
But all my babe, thou dost not hear
The howng storm, or rattling hail,
Thou do,t not know mothers fear,
No bangs Ike hers thy breast assal
Then sleep thee on-Nor wake again
Fill she who holds thee sleeps in death:
Yes, sleep thee on thy bed of sin
Till heaven demands thy feeting breath.
lcannot weep--though tears would blot,
Forever blot my sins from heav'n;--
cannot pray-O heavy lot!
though angels whispered sins forgiven.
lhtn hall thou rosy poison hail,
forthou can'st calm this bosom's SWELL
Once drank, the world will cease to rail;
Then o! my babe, farewell-farewell!'
She paus'd-for To- before her eye
The book Of hcav'n full open lay,
Which her sweet babe--it knew not Why's

She real, and while her heart was wrung,
Yetscarccly dared to think ofheaven,
Ayoce pronounced-'twas Mercy's tongue

II is proper to say to him, that we arc not par

clergyman, ir the same light that we do any
other respectable citizen. AS to the publica-

that the general profanity and scurrllity that
is found in its columns, are neither sanctioned

D-WEsTMINsTER CIRCUS. The

b1-WEsTMINsTER Circus. The public
will be much gratfied TO learn, that Richard
Hans, Esq. the Manager of the Westminster
Circus and Riding School, has, after excrcis-
ing unusual industry and perseverance, erect
ed a new and elegant Brick Circus, at West
minister Garden, which il is expected will be
opened, next Monday evening, by company
Of celebrated Equestrians from tie New-York
Lafayette, and Mount Pit Circusses. The com
pany is undoubtedly the most accomplished
one in the United States, and is composed of
Equestrians, who have long held distinguish
ed place in the profession they follow.
The Circus building, is a very handsome
structure, very capacious; and is not surpass-
ed by many establishments ofthe kind on the
continent. Mr.. Hans, since he has been with
us, has sustained the reputation of a gentle
man and an adept in the art he teaches; and
for his untirng zeal in making every effort to
CRAFTY the public, is entitled to their united
patronage. In the absence ofall other amuse
ments, we think that the Circus will be found
exceedingly attra ctive; and will call in n,al who
who are fond Of the sports of the ring, the
agility of man, and the sagacity and docility
Of that noble animal, the Horse.

will ask our good friend to permit US TO sayto
him, that although he isa Trinitarian and a
CalyiIist, we cannot always agree with him
as our creed is, TO suffer every man TO worship
Almighty God, according to the dictates his
conscience, and tho impulses ofhs heart. We
shall not dispute with our friend on one poin'
he has assumed namely that the "over-zealous,
often. by their outrageous cond ct, detract
from the merits of the cause they professedy
cspouse; and that fanaticism and enthus asm,
have done far more to injure the cause OF the
Rcdeemer, than all the ebuitlons Of iniideliiy
and atheism" We repeat, that we will, pub

he insists upon our doing so; but at the same
time, indulge a hope that he vii not insist.

rt-"AN AFFuAY."-On Monday eve
ming last, several Of the laborers employed in
excavating the soil, at the south part of the
town, having taken sundry small quantities of
the crdfur," became very much "ercited,'
and fancying themselves perfectly capable of
giving the whole town a sound drubbing, COM
menced operations upon whoever came in their
way, and succeeded in knocking down several
respectable citizens, They at length, however,
caught tartar" in making assault on
modern Hercules, who a." floored' two or three
Of the mob; and after while "Baron Nab
em' put his finger upon them, and conveyed
them to close limbo. They were yesterday
examined before Mr.. Justice Aplin, and held
to answer for their conduct at the next term
of the Supreme Court.
II is hardly necessary to add, that they were
descendants Of the O'Bogs and Claharetics,
and recently from the Emerald Isle.
AS our towa llourshes, II calls into the mar
ket large proportion Of this description OF
population, who, though they are certainly
useful, are rather dangerous subjects. They
are generally given TO habits Of jnemperance
and as they never knew liberty but By its name,
previous to their landing in this country, they
are exceedingly insolen', and are dangerous
members Of society. If they cannot be re-
strained in any other way, il would be well to
devise distinct polity for their gov vernment.
| We do not moan that these remarks should
apply to all our Irish emigrants; ON the con-
trary, they are meant only for the insolcnt, the
! vicious, and the vile. We have among us, many
lrishmen, who, by the correctness Of their lives
and conduct, are really valuable members oil
society, and are entitled TO the protc cction and
encouragement of the State.

Harrisburgh Conoention. On Wednesday, a
committee Of nine was ordered to enquire into
and submit 10 Congress- at its next session such
facts as they may collect, tending to show the
injurious effects upon domestic industry, Of the
existing revenue laws Of the United States ,and
the practice under them.
Nr. Carey, from the committee on the pro-
lection Of cottons, offered report. The guam
tiiy of statistical information contained in
this paper, renders il proper that il should be
published; its length, however, precludcs an
immediate insertion. 1t recommends the man
ufacime Of cotton goods to the attention Of
Congress. OF printed cottons, it stated there
were about 100000 pieces of 2s yards each,
maDufa ctured in this country in each year,
making about fourteen millions Of yards. This
branch Of manufactures would soon be worthy

Mrs. WHIPPLE.-For several weeks past
Albany has been the seat of extra aordinary in.
terest; in consequence of the trials Of Strang
the murderer Of Mr.. Whipple, and of Mrs.
Whipplc, the wife of the murdered unfortunate,
who is charged with having been accessory 10
the crime. Such are the monstrous acts OF
atrocity which are connected with these dark
and horrible deed, that they have excited an
unusual degree of interest in all parts of the
country, and awakened the sympathes and
passions of the people.
The murder of Whipple, is only surpassed
by that of Colonel Sharp Of Kentucky
who fell a victim to the vengeance of Beau.
champ, whose happiness he had destroyed
and the fair fame of whose wife he had black
cned, apd immersed in repu,ed guilt. The cir
cumstances connected with these dreadful mur-
dcrs, are somewhat similar, but vary in this
respect; that whilst justice can plead in behalf
Of the injured Beauchamp, and his ruined wife
she frowns Indignantly on the cold .booded
monster, who, without provocaton and with
out remorse, sent to other worlds the nof-
Tending and unsuspccting Whpple. Mrs
Whipple, has been adjudged innocent by a
court Of Justice, and as she is proved to be in
nocent of the crimes charged upon her, the
ends Of Justice have been attained. In anoth-
er place, will be found u summary account OF
the trial.
