As far as my observation goes, would say.
that the Spaniards are by no means an indus

who live upon the hest Of every thing. and
pay or work for nothing, has a most PERM
cious effect. have frequently been ground
the fruit-markets early in the morning, and
hosts Of friars are to be seen with sacks gath
ering provisions for different converts in tho
name Of God. One of these worthless is well
known to be the most extortionate of his
tribe, and was pointed out to me 4 few morn
ings since; from each basket he claimed
something. From one woman he took few
cherries, from another pears. and from the
next bunch of grapes, and was only con-
tented when the best Of each was Uhersd IN

INTRODUCTION TO AN ALBUM.

For the sake of aordng to such of our fair friends
AS are not possessed of Introductory poem for Their
Albums, we lay before them the annexed efuslon,
which we COPY from the New-York Journal OF Com
merce. 1t is, we believe, from the pen OF the senior
editor of that paper, Mr.. VIM. Maxwell, gentleman
who has long and decidedly held conspicuous rank
as an American poet.-Ln. Cadet.
List Maiden, to the bard who weaves
The first poetic wreath to deck
This beauteous volume, whose bright leaves
Are vet unsulGed by speck!
Oh mara him WE'LL Tor, maiden, thou,
So spotless, beautiful and bright,
Art like this virgin volume now
But what veil both be-tme must write.
Oh, could the hard's fond prayer be heard,
Thy book of life, as well as tins,
Should not contain one gloomy word,
But be replete with love and bliss.
And thou shoud'st, in "A green old age,
! When retrospectiOn views them o er,
\ Gull sweets from every beaming page,
\ Repiete with ming led love and lore!
but, maiden, it may not be so:-
| For what, alas, is life at best,
But mingled scenes OF joy and woe
Now wholly wretched, now halt blest!
And at mortality's near close,
When every though on heaven Is bent,
How few cnjo the calm repose,
Attendant on fife well SPENT
Time soon these snowy leaves will stain
With feelings thoughts, hopes, wishes, fears;
Some trac'd in mirth, more traced in pain,
Those wreath'd with smiles, these bathd in tears
Soin mans book of life It's WILD,
That lights and shades alternate blend,
Till the last leaf be feeby flPd,
And Deaths cold hand afix " The end"

HYMN.
LOUD DER thy savage child,
D God, the night wind roars,
As, houseless, IN the wild,
He bows him and adores.
Thou seest ,himE there,
As to the sky
He lifts his eye
Alone in prayer.
Thine inspiration comes!
In skill the blessing falls!
The field around him blooms,
The temple rears lis walls,
And saints adore,
And music swells,
Where savage yells
Were heard before.
To honor thee, dread Power,
Our skill and strength combine,
And temple, tomb, and tower,
Attest these gifts Of thine;
A swelling dome
For Pride they gid,
For Peace they build
A humber home.
Bythese our fathers host
Was led to victory first,
When on our guardless coast
The cloud OF battle burst.
Through storm and spray,
By these controlled,
Our navies hold
Their laundering way.
Great Source of every art!
Our homes, our pictured halls,
Our thronged and busy mart
That heaves its granite walls
And shoots to heaven
Its glittering spires
TO catch the fires
Ofmorn and even.
These, and the breathing forms
The brush or chisel gives,
With this, when marble warns,
With that, when canvas lives,
These all combine,
In countless ways,
To swell thy praise -
For all are thine!

The change of feeling in the jackson party
in Baltimore, as the reports from the coun-
ties came in. is very well hit off in the follow
ing paragraph 10 the Baltimore Patriot
The Jackson B0llOon.--On Tuesday the
JacksOnites were elated beyond all bounds by
the election of their candidates in Baltimore,
notwithstanding the polls showed decrease
of 400 votes on their ticket. Yesterday NOR
ming fears were entertained that this puff of
prosperity would burst the balloon, and some
were observed busily engage in plastering
patches over the weak places. All would not
do, however; about mid day 1.-the herald of
a noisy world arrived with news from Charles
and Prince George's--GU for adams. Crack,
crack, went the balloon. Towards evening
a little sail was seen gently gliding up the Bay,
freighted with tidingsfrom the Eastern Shore
counties which proved strong for Adams.
CrGck, crack crack gain went the balloon. But
worse still, another little sail arrived with in
telligence from Queen AIMS, Talbot and Dor
chester-eight for Adams and four for Jack
son ; and another from St. Mary's all for i'd
ans. The balloon labored prodigiOusly. In
the course of the evening the returns were
nearly all received. On casting up the result.
forty-eight adams men and thirty-t,co Jackson
men, were aaceRained as probably elected
A clammy sweat was observed on the balloon;
| its fbres became relaxed, the gas escaped, it
-wmted away, and vanished.
Yesterday the Jacksonites were all alive in
ass0Rting out the officerssef the State among
themselves, tom Governor own to wood
corder-to7day the subject is dropt, and all
are silent as the tomb!
Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware, have
been claimed by the Opposition. Elections
have been recently held in each of these
States. and what is the result?
Kentucky shows majority of more than
eight thousand voters in favor of the Admin
istration.
In Maryland, of eighty delegates to the
State Legislature, fifty friends to the Admin
istratiOn are elected.
In Delaware, a large majority of the voters
of that State have elected decided supper
ter of the Administration to Congress.
With these facts before them, the people
can easily determine with what propriety the
Opposition claims Kentucky, Maryland and
Delaware, for Gen. Jackson.

family consisting of eleven brothers and sis
tiers, bred and born in this county, the young
est of whom is 4S years of age, and who
had been separated and resided in different
States and Territories, after lapse of 40
years or more, again all met at the resi-
dence of one Of the brothers in Hilsborough
township, and there all united in perfect
harmony and in the strongest bonds of af-
fiction and love. What a wonder of mer-
cy that so many of one family should be
preserved through the many difficulties and
trials of this changing and dying world, and
then again be permitted to meet and give each
other the hand of friendship, and all sit down
at one table to partake of the common COM
forts of life. The scene was truly solemn
one, as they were soou compelled to separate
and attend to their various occupations in life
and in alt probability will never meet again on
this side the eternal world. On this occasion
very appropriate address was delivered by
tho Rev. Mr.. Labagh, which was very con-
solng TO the audience.--SOmerset IN. ~

From The National Journal.

Our readers will rccollect the letter OF Gov
KENT, of Maryland, some time since puoished.
revealing, that jus, before the last Presidential
election. Gen. Saunders had expressed TO him
his hone that the election would be made on the
frs, trial, in order that he might be saved from
the alternative Of giving his vote for Gen. Jack
con. Gen. Saunders subsequently denied this,
in letter so highly charged with accusation
and Incorporate language, that the paper 10
which he offered i, in n. Carolina refused 10
give il publicity. With US, who know the two
dispu,an,s, there has never been question as
10 which Of the twain is most entitled TO credit
The high standing OF Gov. Kent, wherever he
is known, is sufficient 10 repel an imPu'auoh
like that which the denial vi Gen. saunders Is
intended 10 nix upon him, even though IT rested
on much more respectable authority IMAM IL
does. But it may crafty our readers 10 see
wha: is thought Of the denial OF General Saon'
ders, and the comparative responsibility Of him
md Of Gov: Kent, by an editor Of his own State,
Who must know him much more intimately
than we ever did, or ever hope TO do. we
therefore make the following extract from the
Caawba Journal of the 18th ins.ant:--
| :Whe,her Gen. Saunders or Gov. Kent is
most entitled 10 belief, we cannot say; but be-
for. the appearance Of the letter Of Gov. Kent.
we were told by ga member Of Congress-" that
! h. had heard the General on the floor OF Con.
press charged with u,tering these words, and
TIA, he then opened not his mouth in contradic'
,;on. We are constrained to believe that there
has been great inconsistency in the conduct Of
some of our politicians, & that vena!ity has cor
rnn,ed the integrity fmen who assume much
HIGHER standing than editors Of newspapers
The word of Gov. Kent, we are inclined &c
be,i,ve. will carry as much weight with 1t al
