1t would seem that The Combination are Of
opinion that they have succeeded in creating
such military ier,or among the people, that
no act, either Of their Chief, or Of themselves,
can in the least endanger public confidence
They seem, both by their eclarsrions and acts,
to assume, that they have got the complete
control Of the public mind; and may oppose
reason, and violate truth, with impunity. This
is clear from the Reporl Of The Committee Of
Military Affairs IN the case Of the six militia
men, lilies ally shot by order of Gen. Jackson -
But there is, perhaps, nothing which has oc-
Cured Of late, that is so well calculated 10 IL
lustratc the confidence which they entertain, in
the entire subser iency Of the people 10 their
views, as recent declaration OF Mr. Ramsay,
Of Pennsylvania, who is very industrious
member ofthe Combination On the 2lsl inst
that gentleman was asked TO state with candor,
what was his opinion concerning the result Of
the Presidential election in Pennsylvania. His
answer was made in the presence Of four mem.
bers Of Congress, and was taken down by one
Of them, in few minutes afterwards. Ii was
as follows:-"I use strong language, bu, will
be damned, if they prove that Jackson has ra-

THE VARIOLOID AND SMALL POX-
The following communication, from one Of
our most scientific and intelligent Physicians,
contains Information which will be very accept
able TO our citizens al this moment, and will
allay the fears Of many who have become
alarmed by the few cases OF the Varioloid dis
case which recently occurred in the ci'y, bu,
against the spreading OF which suitable
measures have been adopted.
Messrs. GALES & SEAroN. AS there appears
10 be considerable excitement in the bupiic
mind on accouu: of she appearance Ola few ca
ses Of Small Pox, or Varioloid disease in our
city, and much inquiry excited as to the nature
of The disease in question, and the preventing
power Of vaccination, take the liberty 10
make the following statement of facts, which,
it is believed, are fully sustained by the expe>
rience Of the most eminent physicians OF the
present day, in Europe and this country.
LIST. The small pox is disease produced by
specific morbid poison, which poison, when
il operates on the human body, produces, in all
constitutions, and under all circumstances
nearly the same symptoms, and similar effects.
Cd. Nearly all persons are susceptible OF
the influence ofthis virus, but in different de-
grees, some persons take the small pox from
the slightest exposure, and others resist the
influence Of the yirus, except under particular
circumstances.
Sd. This principle of susceptibility Of the
small pox is exhausted BY The action of the
virus on the system, and, as a general rule,
persons can have the disease but once. There
are, however, numerous exceptions to this
principle. From the earliest days of the pre-
vslence OF the small pox, cases have occurred
in which persons have had the disease twice;
but in no instance more than twice.
4th The susceptibility Of the system to the
action Of the virus of the small pox, being, in a
considerable degree, exhausted by the FRS,
course of the disease, in its second course, il is
comparatively mild, other things being equal.
sth. When the Susceptibility of the system
is once exhausted, it is never restored, and the
person is ever afterwards secure from the dis
case.
sih. The varioloid disease is modified form

THE OMNIPRESENCE OF THE DEITY.
There is. in all the works Of Mr. MontSome-
~ deep religious feeling-an anxiety TO make
his &c MUS snb.frYient. at all times, to the most
mnral purposps. No man can rise from he
prrussl Of his poetry, without having received
lessons calculated TO make him better Chris
,ian lis blessing when genius is so direct

so favored. feels il to be It's duty to prove lis
gratitude to its Creator, by incucatins me pre-
c.p,s Of piety and virtue IN the minds s' bis
creatures.
We extrac, the Opening Of his poem, jus,

1t is in the sublimss' strain of poetry:
.THoy UScprArE UyskrS. and USDErlSrn,
Source fan life, snl fountain of the mind;
Prevailing Spirit whom no eve can trace,
F.lt thro' all time, an working in all space
Imagination cannot paintst spot
Around, above, beneath, where Thou art not!
Before the glad stars h,mn'd to new born Earth,
Oryoung Creation revelPd in its birth,
Thy Spirit moved upon the pregnant deep,
Unchqin'd the waveiess waters from their sleep,
Babe Times Majestic wings to be unfurPd,
And out ofDarkness drew the breathing World:
sEre matter form'd. at Thy creative tone,
Thou we IT OmniEc, Endless, and Alone;
In shine own Essence, all that vas to be
Sublime. unfathOmable Deity
Thou said st-alN 10! an universe NaN ooii',
And light flashed from Tn e. for its birthday morn!
world unshrouded all its beauty now
The youthful mountain rear'd its naughty brow,
Flowers fruits md trscs, felt instantaneous life,
And Ocean chafed her pillows into strife!
And next triumphant DER the green clad earth,
The universal sun burst into birth,
And tlash'i from off his altitude sublime,
The first dread ray that nark'd ommencing time
Last rose the moon--and the array of stars
Wheeled round the heavens upon their burning cars!
But all was silent as q uord Of dead,
,rill the great Deep her living swarms outspreadi
Forth from her teamng bosom, sudden came
Immns,ed monsters-mighty, without name;
Then piumv tribes, wing'd into being there,
And played their geamy pinicns on the ar
Till thick as dews upon tSight green,
Earth's living creatures rose upon the scene!
And now the gorgeous universe was ripe,
Fun, fresh, AMI glowing with created life,
And when tn Eternal from his starry height,
Beheld the young world basking in his light,
And breathing incense OF deep gratitude
He bless'd il, for his mercy made IT goodi
Creations masterpiece! a breath of God.
Ray of His glory, quicken'd at His nod,
Immortal Man came peNt-thvnely grand,
Glorious and perfect from his Makers hand,
Last softly beautiful as Music's close,
Angelic woman into being rose!
And thus Thou. vert, and art, the fountain soul,
And countless worls around thee live and roll;
In sun and shade, IN ocean and in air,
DHsrent, thou .sh never lessen'd-every where,
All life and motion from Thy source began,
From worlds 10 atoms, angels down to man!
