"THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE."

AT no period of our history has there appear
ed, a more determined hostility TO the National
Executive, than at the present moment The
inducements TO this activity are more attrac-
tive than have ever before existed Gene
raj Jackson, with view to bring into the con-
ties, the disciplined and active troops OF Mr..
Calhoun. has announced that is elected, he will
not serve longer than four years; tina, he deems
the precedent sci by General Washington, Of
serving for eight years, as dangerous TO the lilo.
er,ies of his coun,ry!!! This pledge has pro-
duced the anticipated result, and the friends OF
MIR. Calhoun constitute the power and activity
of the Opposition. 1t was difficult matter TO
reconcile the friends Of MIR. Crawford 10 CO.
operate with his slanderers, and the destroyers
Of his peace. The reconciliation was effected
during The summer. Thus many have sacri-
feed their mutual and bitter resentments, and
now unite to overthrow the administration OF
Mr.. Adams, as the surest means of satiating
their appetite for Office, and INDUCING their re-
venge for their disappointments at the last Pre-
siden,ial election. They unequivoeally avow,
that they have foImed Triple Alliance, based
on their superior hatred Of Mr.. Adams!!!
This alliance was not promulgated till re-
ceutly-it appeared for the 6rst time in letter
written by member Of Congress to member
of the Pennsylvania Legislature-in which the
hopes and expectations Of the alliance, and the

TO THE EDITORS.

y letter, written by member OF Congress 10
a member Of he State Legislature of Pennsyl-
vaaia, has excited much Of the public attention.
This letter PROCESSES to have been written by
one Of those modern patriots, who unblushing-
ly avow that they labour to destroy the political
quetude Of the American people, from their
hatred to Mr.. Adams. The writer evidently
displays an intimate acquaintance with the
views, the hopes and principles Of action of the
Triple Alliance He says that, as il enters in
10 the scope Of the policy Of the friends Of Ge-
neral Jackson to procure the support of New
York: that, Cor this purpose, they deem it advi-
sable to take Vice President from New.
York: that Mr.. Calhoun holds himself ready
10 withdraw, il his friends deem it essen
,ial that he shall do SO, in order to attain
the object Of their alliance, and intimates
that MIR. Clinton would suit these views
This letter has had an extensive circulation
The friends Of Mr.. Clinton and the presses in
New-York have been indignant at this insult
offered to their proud and independent notions,
and on this morning the Telegraph comes out
with disavowal, that the letter is authorised
BY the Triple Alliance-,hat the writer's mo.
tives were good, but that he was not instructed
to express such views.
Pray why was not the disavowal made before
this' Why did they wait to see if New York
would bite a, the dishonorable offer? After it
meets with the contempt which it merted, they
withdraw the iusolent bride proAered TO New
York. A NEW.YORKER.

Conctu

We returned to the cottage, and the widow
resumed her station at the Wheel while Lucy
prepared the tea table, which was covered with
Gne bleached linen, which, the widow mentioned
with an air Of pride, was the product of her
hands The humble meal was soon ready, and
was eaten with thanktuness and delight by the
cottagcrs, a Joy unknown to those who have
not by their own labour first produced the
tenance Of life
The meal being over, the widow returned TO
her wheel, and recounted the occurrences of
former DAYS, until the sadness Of the present
was forgotten in the remembrance Of the past.
The brow Of the invalid became more cheerful.
and Lncys spirits resumed their natural buoy
anew from the transient CLEAN Of sunshine that
lit up the face Of her lover. She sang Her
voice was sweet, and there was heart-thrilling
Fildness in it, seldom to be found in those more
refined and cultivated. 1t was powerful and
spirit-stirring. Hugh Cameron d:relt upon each
note with intense interest. His features became
animated, and he mingled his voice with hers.
The widow stopped her incessant wheel. and
lifted her head to listen. The invalid suddenly
raised his voice, and cried, that note again,
Lucy, that note again
she repeated it with so full tone, and so
clearly. that the glasses in the window, and on
the cupboard, vibrated with the sound
'.Hush; that is the note, know If well. Now

he failed. for his voice was too feeble. He then
added, "Not vet, Lucy, not yet; my time is not
come vet" The cheerfulness Of the poor girl
was suddenly changed to sadness she ceased
to sing; the widows countenance fell, and she
resumed her labour in silence,
The evening was now considerably advanced
and arose to take my departure. The Invalid
accompanied me towards the inn. | expressed
my curiosity to know what he meant by his Oh
servation, when he failed to initiate the note

prevailed throughout the creation ; when the
