 Talbot Island, whenever dinner or loan 1 is wanted. 1t is to be taxed for more than you are worth, and never to be believed when you say so. It is to have Addition of dollars, Subtraction of comforts, and Null l tplication of anxietes, end in Division a. ] mong spendthrift heirs. 1t is to have the interest of every one about you exceed their principle. It is to make up 10 the mer- chant all the profits he loses by knavery or prodigality. It is never to be allowed to be upon easy terms, even with a coat or shoe. It is to be married for your money, or have wife always casting up the sum total of the dollars she brought. It is to have your own steps surrounded by ''man-traps," and your daughter made target for the specu- lating and selfish to aim at. It is to measure friendship by the length of your purse, to buy lattery, and sell happiness. It is to have debtors smile upon you, and knaves shake you by the hand. It is to have dys- peptic wife, and pale children. It is to have sons go to college to buy themes of wiser heads, and daug ghter's brains turned by the fiattery of fools. It is to be invited to drink port wine, that you may give bet ter in return. It is to have your lady's peace disturbed by higher feather or d brighter diamond. It is to buy green peas at nine shillings, ,and relish them no, because your neighbor gives two dollars. It is to have relations wish you short life and long will. It is to have more temptations in this world than other men: and lastly, to find the entrance to better more diff cult than to the rest of mankind.--Mass. Jour. "
 COMBINATIONS AND COALITIONS!
 In a letter of Gen. Floyd, member of Congress from Virginia, read before the Virginia legislature, he declined the office of Governor rendered to him by his friends Giving as reason, that
 e. "Combinations for efecting the el- eration of Gen. Jackson, ,Oere nearly con,- plete, and that he vished to remain m Congress ~ntH they aoere complete. "~O
 Combinations-anda among whom The People No-but the members of Con- gress. Take notice, gentle reader, that these are not combinations between Adams and Clay-they are combinations among those pure and immaculate gentlemen, who have denounced all combinations, as cheat ing the people-who call the serving ofMr. Clay under MT. Adams, the coalition of the puritan and the black leg-and who presuming combination between them for the purpose of electing the late President of tho United States, have applied to his phantom every term of moral and polit- ical reproduction. We find that these same pure and immaculate gentlemen--these virtuous patriots, who were fired with so holy an indignation at this supposed fraud upon the popular will, are by the confess sion of so important member of their par ty as Dr. Floyd, combined and for the same purpose of making President. "The combinations for electing Gen. Jackson are nearly complete" So the people, notwithstanding the solicitude for their rights, and the denunciations against Mes SITS. Adams and Clay for their alleged dis respect of their will by Dr. Floyd and his associates, are after all to have nothing to do with the election That is to be settled by combinations among the members of Congress-and this is avowed by so dis tinguished member as Dr. Floyd--he whose presence is necessary at Washing ton, to save the nation It was infamous in MT. Clay to exercise his constitutional discression in voting for Adams in prefer encc to Jackson, after the people had fail- ed to make choice-but it is all right to elect Jackson by combination among the members of Congress, without at all con- sulting the people. It was bargain, sale corruption in Clay, tevote as his District wished him, and as his State was willing he should vote, but it is perfectly fair, nay highly meritorious and patriotic in Dr. Floyd and his associates, exercising their opportunities and influence as Members of Congress, to combine to elect Jackson. That Mir. Clay should be reconciled to MT. Adams, whom he had only differed but on the subject of the Mississippi and fisheries, politically and never personally, was irrefragable evidence of their corrup- ton, of bargain and sale-but when Mir. Calhoun and MT. Randolph, Gen. Jack son and Col. Benton, MT. Calhoun and Dr. Floyd are reconciled-men whose long and rancorous mutual hatred is noto- rious-and when a close intimacy succeeds for the purpose of effecting common end, all this is complimented as magnanimous proceeding.
