THE RUIN.

Dark relic Of an age gone by
Whose mossy towers and columns grey,
Rear'd up against the evening sky,
Seem mighty even in decay.
'"he moon looks on the ragged walls
But lights no warriors glanoiny crest;
There's night and silence in these halls,
Where gauntlet hand and mailed breast
ilush'd back the torches midnight glow;
Where minstrel honours well were sought.
Where warriors, at the red vines flow,
Their diugers and their tolls forgot
iieIm,ng rock, which looks in scorn
Der oceans darkly heaviug food,
inv beauty, not thy grandeur gone,
Thou standest in thy solitude,
ibe representative of years
Long sunk in times oblivious tide
low solemn; AT this hour. appears
Thy wreck Of lnftine,s and pride!
Thy lords Of high renown have pas.'d
With all their power, and wealth away,
And darkly now thy ruins cast
Their shadows where the mighty lay;
Beuenth whose proud and iron tread
Thy stony floors have ceasd to ring,
Thy beacou-tower has ceas'd TO shed
A lustre DER their marshalling
OF fearless bands. The hand Of death
Hath chain'd their eagle spirits down,
And glory has not left wreath,
The memory ofthe dead TO crown.
Dark dealing men twas theirs to WELD
Oppression's unrelenting brand, -
The power was theirs, their hearts were steel'd,
And vaiuly grosn'd an injur'd land.
And, crumbled ruin-can | mourn
To see thy splendour thus dccayd?
Or can wish those days return,
Which saw thee guard tyrsnt's head?
No-for the peasants lowly shed
ilas more endearing charms for me;
Since there ha. peace her blessing. spread.
And there is truth and liberty. ADRIAN.

A very remarkable discovery was made few

AN OLD FEDERALIST.
Frou, The Lifercrp Cadet.

PROSPECTS OF THE ADMINISTRATION
The Drosrects of the present administration
every day brighten, and the more the members
Of the opposition faction rail and rant, and
the more frequently they emit their hocts ana
their follies, and aim them at the heads OF the
administration, instead ofefecting heir favour
lite designs, they only give renewed strength
to the fabric they would destroy
The happy manner, in which the Secretary
of State, Mr. Clay, has been received oy the
citizens ofthe west, affords ample and satisfactory
~ proof. that General Jackson Is losing ground
at those very points where he supposed ne was
sure of eternal support, and OF the friendship
and inviolable attachment OF the people. but
though they mighthave at one time, been warm,
" attached to the Hero of New-Orlcans; and
have told with eXultation, the stories OF MS
noble daring and military prowess, still when
thew have considered him as mere man, as a
private citizen, Invested of the charm and daz-
fling lustre of the soldier;-when they have
cooily and calmly canvassed his claims, reflect
ed upon his merits as statesman, they have
Turned from him, and honestly said to Them
selves it is not meet that this man should rule
over us; and they have wisely resolved 10 sup
mort men for public Offices, who are known TO
be capable, learned as statesmen; honest as pat
rios. and wise as Lawgivers.
We will canditlly confess, that there was
time when we had some reason to fear, that
General Jackson would be the successful can
dida,e, at the approaching presidential election;
but whatever fears we then entertained, have all
been dissipa,ed, and we are self satisfied, that
he never can attain the post OF honour and pre-
fermen,, for which he is an asplrant.,
It's evident to the most common observer Oh
the passing times, that the Jackson party, Is
daily diminishing in influence and 4, NUMBERS

THE Duel.

The Nashville Republican, on the authority
of one Of the Standing Committee, raised tor the
purpose Of defending the character Of General
Andrew Jackson-has given us some statements
inrelaton to his Duel with Mr.. Dickinson. Our
readers are already aware that the Duel origi-
mated in charge Of foul play brought against
Gen. Jackson's Jockey, at Horse race.
In this statement we End the following cer,i-
hca,e:
"Some time during the sitting ofthe last Fed
eral Court, few days after the affair OF honor
between Gen. Jackson and Mr., Charles Dickin-
son Of kentucky, fell in conversation with Mr..
Corbin Lee, who informed me that he was pres
ent on the ground with the gentlemen when
they fought. Having heard diheren, stories
about the affair, was induced TO inquire OF said
Lee what took place, upon which Mr.. Lee IN
formed me. that Gen. Jackson behaved himself
with great deal Of honor or the occasion, tor
which he should always respect him, or words
10 that amount. Mr.. Lee was a'pariicular
friend of Mr.. Dickinson, who tell.

To the Editor ofthe Phil,delphia Gazette.

CandOT whethef MT. Siay SfcluSlnS 10 accept
Of any thing from the man whom he had made
President, would have satisfied those who are
now so clamorous against him. l candidiy re-
ply, No. lnfuria;ed politicians will say any
thing; as interested politicians will do any thing.
But it is not Juslice' TO suppose that all who
are dissatisfied with the manner Of the last cleo
ton, are either infurialed or interested.
Had Mr.. Clay have voted for Mr.. Adams,
and received nothing from him, he would GER
,anly have failed TO please the friends of the
opposite candidate. And perhaps rejecting
men might have seen in this conduct, an anX-
iely that "lhe claims Of the west" might not be
forcs,alled by Gen. Jackson, in order that they
might in due season be recognized in the per-
son Of their legitimate representative, Mr..
Clay. But there would then have been no
proof that interested motives had influenced
him-no ground al least for such accusations
as are now brought against him; for as we find
many persons in private lie who, though they
like neither AR. Adams nor Jackson, yet honest
ly prefer the former to the latter$so we might
have supposed Mr.. Clay honestly TO prefer his
old political enemy 20 the favorite of the people
Of the western states.
1t is great pity he Gid not keephis garment
clean: He was peculiarly circumstanced. Mr..
| Adams had received but "a electoral votes, Gen
Jackson had received 90 MIR, Adams had re-
ceiyed.9S, 900 votes from the people, Gen. JACK
son had received I5o, 900. Nor can there be a
doubt that if Mr.. Clay had not been in the hela
NIL the votes of the western states would have
been for General Jackson, and he would have
been chosen President by the Colleges For
most offices in our government mere plurality
ofvotes is necessary. 1.-THE contest among the
ne ople had been narrowed down to two candi-
dates as it was in the House Of Representatives
Gen Jackson would have received majority
of votes. cannot help thinking that the most
satisfactory evidence existed that they prefer
red him to MIR. Adams l admit that an ex.
IRENE case might occur, in which member Of
Congress might in conscience be bound &c
give his vote for minority candidate, and him
not the choice of his own constituents: bu
W hen such case does occur, the Congressman
ought to be very careful to 10 nothing which
may Justify suspicion Of his motives. The days
of prophecy have gone by; yet just as hremel
said, Just so have things come to pass.
Your correspondent has appealed 10 my can
dor. and | have endeavoured TO answer him
frankly. might now, in my turn, appeal to
his imparliality, and ask him what he thinks
