Boston
Thou God Of our sires whose counsel and might
Through enpests and foes bore them o'er the sea
Whose cloud through the day and whose pllM by night
fiavs guarded and gadden'd this home Of the ffes;
Our land, in her youth andher weakness, sought
A refuge teneah thy shelering wings:
In battles fierce onset, her patriots fouglh,
And uiumph'd couGdin. in ihee King Of king.
On this hallow'd day, when joys thrilling tone
II waited DER plain, and valley, and hill,
With gladness aud praise we repair tothy throne,
And now wifh Thanksgiving thy temple would oil.
All praise to the Lnrd the anthem should swell,
And peal through our country, from sea TO sea
Oh still he our God for " here THoU shalt dwoll,
Our nation will ever be happy and free.

From the Ne,D York Daily Advertiser.

The result of the Louisiana state election,
which has been published. is both Notifying
and discOuraging to the partisans of General
Jackson. 1t is true they endeavored to pro-
vide retreat from the field of discontinue,
by declaring beforehand that the loss of this
election would furnish no evidence of the real
feelings of the Stakeholder circumstances
might operate in favor of the administration
party. and their candidates might receive
majority of the votes, though the general state
ofpubIic opinion was IN fact with the Jackson
party. The true meaning of this was, thatif
the majority Of votes should be in favour Of
the administration, it was no proof of their
popularity, or of Gen. .Jackson's UNPOPULAR
ty; but ifit should prove that Jackson's friends
had the lajority, then it would be decisive
evidence that the state was for him. We are
not disposed to cavil with them on this SUBJ
ject. AS long as the fact is. that the MAORI
ty of the people of that state are in favour of
the administration, and against Jackson, we
are perfectly willing that his partizans should
labor to prove, metaphysically, that the evd-
ence is the other way.
There are several things connected with
this election, worthy of serious consideration.
No longer ago than last winter, the legislature
of Louisiana sent a formal official invitation to
Gen. Jackson to visit New Orleans on the 9th
of January, and join with the citizens in cele-
brating his own glory on that memorable an
niversary. The invitation was given and ac-
cepted beyond a question, with immediate ref
erence to the influence it might have on the
approaching presidential election. There is
no doubt that both he and his friends fattered
| themselves with the idea, that his presence
| wouldsas it did on some former occasion, ISL
lence all opposition and leave him the full and
undisputed master ofthe ground. The party
made the most of the scheme all over the I'M
ion; and from this city delegation of the
most distinguished statesmen were sent all the
way to New Orleans, to puff the incense of
servile adulation into his open nostrills. The
fete took place and the party insisted upon
it that it went fin the highest style of spien-
dor and magniicence. 1t is true this was de-
MED by multi:udes of persons who were pre-
sent: but as they were all grumbling admin
istration men their testimony. though corrob-
Grated by strong circumstances, was not wor-
thy of credit, as the elections ,roud shOsV there
after. 1t is now manifest who told the truth.
The election has been held; the Jacksonites
have been beaten. 1t might have been 9TH
erwise, If the hero had once more proclaimed
martial law, and have suspended the Habeas
Corpus. For some reason or other, this was
not done, though necessity" the plea, which

MIDDLETOWN CONVENTION.

The G. eat Middletown Convention was
held ON Thursday last. The number pre-
sent is varlously stated at from $50 to $50.
Although it protested to be meeting Of
Delegates, it was in fact meeting of all
the Jacksonmen in the State who could be
drnmmed togelher-a medley of Hartford

tionists, qnids, disappointed politicians,
loungers, &c. From some of the towns
10 or Is delegates attended-from others
l, 9, 8, &c. but from the major part of the
towns, as we are informed not solitary
individual. The Hon. |. w. Crawford
was called to the chair, at eleven o'clock,
and VIM. H. Jones, Esq of New-Haven,
and l.. T. Pease Esq. OF Enfield, Secreta-
ries--appointed county Committees to
nominate electors of President, and adjour-
ned for dinner. Afternoon assembled a.

A long address, attributed to the pen of
Mr.. Niles, of Hartford, was read in which
the administration was delightfully."- abused.
The address generally treated the federal
party with good deal of kindness; but in.
order to make it appear as coming from a.
meeting Of republicans, the Hartford Con-
vention and some other trifes in history
were alluded to, which did not suit the
tederalists present. Gen. Isham a good
war tederalIst, from New-London, made.
some remarks on the address, when it was
resolved, in the spirit of brotherly conces-
sion, to refer it to pruning committee of
publication, and Messrs. nj. Niles, Gen.
Isham, N. A. Phelps, and L. T.. Pease,
were appointed committee accordingly.
A member proposed to adjourn to the
9Th of January next, then to assemble a.
gain and make nomination of State-Of
6cers for the April election. Here there
was little stepping on toes-an imprudent
brother was running too faSt-it was best
to wait until November and ascertain their
strength. 1t was suggested and finally a.,
greed that the Chairman should call mee-
ting in January if he considered il sxpeI

JUST AND TRUE.

The Jackson party (says the Knoxville Enqurer)
have no common principle among themselves. In
section Of the country, Jacksons friends or, we
would rather say, MIR. Adams enemies advocate
the system Of domestic Manufactures. In anohpy
they reprobate it a dannable heresy. In one
section of the country they advocate the system az
Internal Improvement. In another they denounce
it as leading to consolidation and the destruction
Of State rights. They suggest no measure-,hey
devise no plan--they have no end in view for the
promotion Of the public good. Their grand object
seems to be, to thwart MIR. Adams plans, and to
prevent him from doing any good, for fear the
people might be pleased with his administration.
They strive to make the hand of government press
as heavily as possible on the people, believing the
people will not be able to trace their grievances to
the true source. The complaints Of the public are
music to their ears. They have audacity enough
boldly to announce that no matter with what wisdom
and patriotism Mr.. Adams may administer the gov
ernment, yet he shall be as prophet in his own
and--wlthout honour.

In enumerating the distinguished men who are
united in the support Of Gen. Jackson to make him
President Of the United States, it is worthy Of re-
mark that the celebrated Aaron Burr, of New York
is ranked anong the list. 1t has been common
thing to make count of steam boat passengers

comparative strength of the two candidates for the
Presidency, at these several meetings. During the

A LAYMAN,

The Washington and Baltimore papers are filled
with descriptions of the pageantry of digging the
first spade full on the Ohio and Chesapeake Canal,
and Baltimore and Ohio Raid Road, in the neigh
borhood of those cities, on the 4th of July. The
coincidence in the time Of commencement is re-
markable. We wish truly that in the prosecution
of the two designs, one or both, may not be found
vain and impractcable. Both aim at the trade OF
the Ohio river. Both have been begun on the same
day. Each is estimated to cost more than l0,o00
600. The two cities, each of which hopes to Sc
cure to herself this valuable trade, are within AZ
miles of each other. Both cannot succeed--ant
we hope rather than believe, that both will not fal
through.
