FOR THE LITERARY CADET.


Mr.. o. SHAW. The inha bitants of this town
are peculiarly favored, in having among them
this individual-not merely as an instructor, but
as a composer. His.musical compositions are
of the finest and most spirited character. Many
Of his admirers in distant places, know but little
Of his circumstances and place of residence,
and have often wondered that no account of
him has been published in his native town.
The ode set TO music and sung by him on tho
4th, was highly credtable to his genius. 1t
would ado TO the permanenee of his fame if his
pieces were collected and published in num-
bers or otherwise. His merit as q composer
is heightened by the cbasteness of bis taste in
selecting his pieces. A grea; amount of good
poetry is found among them. Subscriptions
could be obtained in every place where the
love Of music exists. am glad to be informed
however, that there is no peeuniary necessity
for such a publication. VIAroR.

FROM THE MrppLErowN GAZETTE.

We have Just seen some very good remarks
in the Providence Cadet, on the Importance Of
adopting. an honest, consistent and independ-
ent course Of political conduct. We have for
some time intended to offer some reflections on
this subject, and we shall not. perha ps, have
a more fitting opportunity than the present.
Il is admitted on all hands, we believe, in
theory, at least-tbat honesty is as indispen-
sable in political, as in social life-that moral
ard political integrity are inscparably connect
ed; and that by breaking down the barriers
between political virtue and depravity, you
destroy, Of consequence, oil distinction be-
tween social virtue and depravity. Assuming
this. therefore, TO be established beyond con-
troversy, we proceed 10 the consideration Of
the second part Of the subject.
An inconsistent, fckle-minded man can never
receive the respec, Of any party. Even il We
have what we cannot have in ordinary CAGES
tho charity TO believe that he changes sides
from conviction. we cannot but think that he
wants stability; or that his first opinion was
formed without reflection. His facility Of
daptation TO every sort Of circumstances, rem
ders him unworthy Of trust or confidence. He
is a perfect Macsycopbant. His orisobs ere
made 70 tho rising sun only; and II BY any
sudden revuIsion Of Affairs. he fpds himself at
tached 10 a sinking dynasty, he deserts them
without hesitation, and without compunction.

Mr.. CLAy.--Thc Secretary Of State has lcft
Washington and returned to his home. for tho

como impaired by too close application to Tho

has moro assduously cxered his talents.to dis

since his appointment 10 the station he now
holds. As the nation increases In wealth, and
hs cooncxion with foreign countries becomes
more extensive, tho duties that devolve on the
Iicers Of government are rcdoubled, and con-
seq-n,ly more complex. Mr.. Clay, il is well
% them with admirable facility aud exactness,
while svsry effort has been making among his
oppnsers to confound him, and if possible. go
far smbarrass him and his vocations, that he
should be guilty Of some nistake or Delinquent

Ma. EpiruA.- Sir-The Editor OF the
American says, in his paper Of yesterday
"that the proposal of DR.. Ely for union Of
religious denominations TO Gil all the Offices in
the United States BY people of,heir Own stamp"
"wss received with GOODNESS and ceDsure from

enough TO produce a single orthodox publica-
ton which has censured the grafton Of Doctor
Ely delivered on the 4th Of July 1927; if he
will, my mind will be relieved from some
fears which know are not imaginary.
The system Of prescription, has been, and is
now in operation, which will assuredIy destroy
the dear bought ,Iiberties Of freemen, if not
timely checked, and in my opinion no subject
could be Of more importance in 4th of July

Mr.. EvERETT's ORATIoN.-The Bostop
Gazette, speaks in the following terms Of tho
Grafton delivered by Mr.. Everett on the 4th
instant at Charlestown:
Z" 1t is no mean praise TO FAY, after hearing
so often dull and dry recital Of our reyolu-
tionary annals, that the author contrived 10
mpart TO his subject an extreme degree Of
novelty and interest. Pursuing the spirit
and manner Of The distinguished biographer Of
Columbus, he composed tale from his early
history, impressed with the bright and touch
ing qualities Of romance. He described the
voyager as he appeared, a poor unlettered
mariner; almost beggar, leading his son to
the gate Of an obscure convent in Spain; there
standing forth in the midst of professors.
friars, and dignitarics of the church, and in
rudo cloquence, "pleading as it were the
cause Of the new world;" an. object Of
mockery, Of Incredibly, ard even of bitter
denunciation. Having succeeded in overcom-
ing prejudice and fanatici,m, he represented
him setting out with three small vessels, with
out decks, 10 explore a vast continent, and
thence returning laden with bonours by Fer
dinand and Isabella. He spoke Of the early
spirit of liberty originating in England, and
implanted in this country by our forefathers..
He repelled with a becoming spirit the csn-
temptuous allusion in late English Review
that these states we're peopled by the convicts,
Of the old world; CONFLICTS indeed among the
worthest and bravest spirits Of the land, con-
uicts, who fled for conscience sake, conpicts,.
whose example infused vitality into this repub-
lie, and whose names are associated with the
establishment OF our dearest rights and most
valued blessings. He dwelt with peculiar en-
phasis on the sufierngs and sacrifices Of
the people Of Charlestown, at the time that
devoted town was wrapped in fla mes, and tho
sport of the invader and oloquently alluded Ia
the mar,yred heroes whose blood had mingled
with the sod, near which they steod, that.
they might live and learn the value of lib

THE soUrH--The Southern papers breathe
forth "throatenings and slaughter" against the
General Government. on account of the pass
age Of the Tariff To escape the evils-real
or ina ag'nary-of that measure, some Of them
propose the patriotic expedient Of a separation
Of the States, and dissolut ion OF our present
form Of Government. Mr.. M'DUrFIE has
also pronounced q violent and nHammatory
appeal 70 his constituents, at public Dinner
in Columbia, in which the same feelings and
sentiments are expressed. We, however, be-
lievo that this excitement is q temporary and
artificial one, and will soon give place to juster
views. both OF the measures Of the Government
and their own duty. Onr Southern brethren
ought TO rest satisfied, that the language OF
violencs and rebellion is by no means TO the
taste oI the present day; that the press is open
Tor all the srgumcnts and reasoning they may
oppose 10 the Tariff, or any other public meas
ure; and that a cause which cannot triumph
by tho aid Of those weapons, deserves TO bo
defeated. The truth, whatever II may be,
will eventually prevail. and to bow TO its do
cisicn., is the duty Of every citizen Of our
country.

Sr. VALENTINES DAY.-This new novel
Of Sir Walter Scott, will be found interesting
and amusing; though like most Of his late pro-
duetions, it is a feeble and inferior perform
ancc, compared 10 his early ~orks-the char
acters nre nearly the same as those before
presented; both the clowns and villains of the
story are recognized as old acquaintances.
Some OF these personages, are, in our opinion,
downright failures; such as that Of the physic-
ian, who is represented as the blacklist Cf vii
lairs and murderers, without any adequate
object; and that Of the young Highland Chief
" Ea cicin," whoso confession Of cowardice is
wholly unexpected by the reader. On the
whole. the genius Of Scott has gained little or
nothing from this effort; nor do We believe it
possible for him further to extend bis fame az
a novelist. Afler exhibiting human nature in
every possible light. aftor exhsusting all the
fourccs Of fictitious interest; his suceeedng
efforts will be moro likely to woaksn than to
surpass his previous descriptions.

SOUTHERN LIBERALIrY.-We copy the
following extract from the Georgia Courier,
published at Augusta. The sentiments are far
different from those expressed in Mr.. M'Duf--
fe's Speech:
"We see in the Southern papers, propositions
10 exclude Northern manufa ctures, and Western
Pork, Beef. &c. and to manufac cture and wear
our own Cloth, and eat pork and beef &c. Of
our own raising. The object to be obtained
by these suggestions all must approve, whatev-
er they may think ofthe spirit which urges their.
adoption at this particular moment. That We.
have cultivated cotton, cotton, cotton, and
bought every thing else, has long enough been.
our opprobium. 1t is time we should be rousedi
by some means or other, to see that such q
course Of conduct will inevitably terminate in.
our ultimate poverty and ruin. Let us manu-
facture, because il is our beat policy. Let Us
60 more on provision crops and less on cotton.
because We have had every thing about us poor
md impoverished long enough. This we can
do without manifesting any III nature TO Ahy of
the members Of the same great family ,alI1w hose
earnings go TO swell the general prosperity and
happiness. Much of our chagrn and III ma
ture on this subject may be justly, because tru-
ly, ascrbed to a sense Of shame, which we of
the Southern States feel, that we have been 90
long behind our Northern nsigbbors in the pro-
dnct on Of every thing that substantially ad-
ministers to the elegance or the comforts Of
life. 1t has been our own fault-not theirs.--
Ii we have followed a ruinous policy, and
bought all the articles Of subsistence instead
Of raising them, who is to blamel For what
have we not looked TO our Northern friends9
From them we get not only our clothes, csr-
riages, saddles, hats, shoes, flour, potatoes,
but even our onions and horn buttons. The
latter we wear on our under garments, as II
ashamed to acknowledge that we owed the
manufa cture Of such trifing article to others.
Let us change our policy, but without that
spirit and those expressions which leave fes-
terng sore in the hearts Of those who should
be brothers. Let our farmers make and wear
their Homespun- raise in greater plenty corn
! and wheat, which will enable them 10 raise
! their own hogs, cattle and horses. and let
those who have capital and enterprise, manu.
faciure on n more extensive scale. There 10
nothing to prevent us from doing il. We have
good land, unlimited water powers, capital In
plenty, and patriotism which is RUNNING sssr
