original poetry for pubcaion but see they all been
sighted; for what reason cannot tell You have no de-
SIRE see, to give encouragement to young beginners
however well written the pieces may be. Is this the way
you treat nearly all of your correspondents so
fear your paper has not large circulation It other
wise would have; you neglect communications Cat least
you have done to several Of mine which are sent to
you, and correspondents will not send you any mOre 1t
You DOM ON, mink my pieces worth publishing Just say &c.
member the old maxim, child must crawl before can
walk"
We will give one verse from the last commune
cation of 6 W'' and leave him and our readers to
guess mhy his " preceding pieces of original poe
try"'' have all been Sighted"
"But yet grim death. the conqueror Of all things
Spied this great one, the "bravest Of the brave"
And rising, spread forth his great expanding wings,
And dropt the warrior in his silent grave"
4" The .1rirl."-The attention of our readers
is called to notice in our paper to-day, OF pub
LEGATION about to be commenced under the above
title. We have received specimen number Of
the work, which may be seen at this office. We
shall not give 1t "puff," for we dislike putting
but we must say that the specimen number is cal
culated,,n every respect, to give favorable i'm
preston.
" Signs of the Times."-We present our rea-
ders odav with another Of the interesting essays
under this head, from the National Intelligencer
1t deserves, and we trust will receive, particular
attention. Some of our readers will perhaps be
ready to remark that we have recently occupied
too much of our columns with political NATTER
In answer to such an objection, we would ask them
to regard with attention the struggles which are
making by a certain set Of men to subvert the
fundamental principles of our government, and the
disposition which they manifest to crafty their ha
tired to men even at the expense of every measure
essential to the national prosperity. What have
we to expect from the success of the men opposed
to the administration They have done all they
could to arrest the progress of internal improve
ment They have withheld protection from our
manufacturers, and thus reduced the price of WOOL
thereby producing serious injury to our farmers,
and throwing multitudes of aborers out OF en-
poyment. And in fact, they have opposed Mr.
Adams as far as their power extended, in every
thing, right or wrong"
Let us look at another important consideration.
A Brcakwater is wanted at the mouth of the Del
aware Bay--but we never can expect to see it
erected if the men who striving to turn Mr.
Adams out of office, should be successful. The
expense is too great to be betrayed by the States
bordering on the Bay and River, and these men
deny the right Of the general government to-
prosecute such works. Let our readers think &C.
ously of these things, and let them attend to other
/" signs of the times" and we think that they will
see the necessity for the utmost vigilance on the
terest of the people and the prosperity of his
country.
The Winchester (virginia) Republican gives
the result Of the election for Congress in that
district, from which it appears that Mr.. Powell
had 1908 votes, and Mr.. Allen 19l2-maiority for
Allen l44.-The statement is accompanied by the
following editorial observations:

for exercising his right Of challenging spurious votes,

Men who voted for him BEATEN and others who in

vote obliged to return without entering the court
house Another who had avowed his intention Of voting
for him. threatened by magistrates of the county
with being broken up if he did not vote for Mr. Allen
nacs also brought forward and received and
right to vote defended by Mr.. Allen 1t is solemn truth
that the election carried by Gud asehood and force
We have heard that effort made by the magistrates
to prevent these excuses and that Mr. Allen looked
calmly on and permitted his friends TO commit them For
these and other The election will be contested be-
fore Congress-.
About 80 votes were taken from Frederick which are
enumerated above. These Mr. Allen refused to have en-.
rolled the polbook, and they entered on the back
This refusal in open violation of the agreement enter
ed into between the candidates the husngs in Frede
rick, and which 8f. Allen mas the first propose. This
he denied in Woodstock, and it shall be proved.
We have been promised, by friend who was present,

received This shall publish, that the happy effects
of party spirit may be seenthat the glorious feelings
which Mr.. Allen in his speech at the Winchester hastings
lonped to see revived may be properly
