Q The harvest treasures AM

Il ne harvest treasures all
Now gathered in, beyond the RAGE of storms.
Sure to the swain the circling fence shut up
And instant winters utmost rage defied
Winnie, loose to festive joy, the country round
Laughs with the loud SINCERITY of mirth''
This is the season of the year which has
ever been considered more peculiarly appro-
pirate than any other to demonstrations of Joy
and gladness When the tolls, the cares, and
anxieties of the season are past when the
earth has yielded of her increase, and the har-
vests are gathered in, we'll may the husband
man, as he relaxes from his toll, give loose to
the feelings Of gratitude and Joy with which
his heart abounds. Impressed with these views
the pilgrim fathers of New England annually
set apart day of THANKSGIVING to Him
who had blessed them bountifully !" in basket
and in store" of the good things of the earth,
and the custom has been continued by their
children TO the present day.
On the return of this anniversary. il is rood
fol US to reflect on the peculiar favors which
have been, through the goodness of an all-wise
Providence, showered down upon us. The
earth has yielded in profession to the hand of
LABOR. OF all the products necessary for our sub.
sstonee and enjoyment unusual degree of
health has prevailed throughout the land. and
peace and quiet have reigned within our bor-
ders. Yet these are enjoyments which CON
siderable portion OF mankind also share in COM
mon with us But the blessings of GIRL and
re'2g'ous liberty, which we get enjoy in their /
fullest extent, are denied to the greatest part
OF the world beside. How deep, then. the
debt OF gratitude we owe for so rich an inner
itance Let lis ponder it well, and resolve
never to become unworthy of the boon, lest it |
be taken from us, and given to those, who
know better how to appreciate its value.
The PREslDENcY. The jackson papers are
taking advantage of the partial success they !
have met with in New York, to create an i'm
preston that his election to the Presidency is !
certain hoping thereby to divide the friends
of the Administration, and to throw them into
confusion. But, so far from its producing such
an effect it ought to incite them to greater
union and activity. The chances of success
are decidedly in their favor, and, by union and
perseverance, they may save the country from
the odinm Of elevating merely military man
to the highest civil Office in the government.
The papers from all parts of New York assert.
that the late election is not at all Indicative of
the state of feeling on the Presidential cues
hon that IN many counties, the opinions of
the members, who are now claimed as jackson
men, were not known previous to the election,
and that great majority OF the people are for
the Administration. In the city it is admitted
that there is probably majority for Jackson.
Let us then look a little at the probabilities.
The only States which can be claimed for the
respective candidates with any considerable
degree Of certainty, with the number of votes
they give, arc arranged in the following table
