WOMAN.

In infancy, from womap's breast,
we draw the food by nature given;
She lulls our childish pangs TO rest,
And cheers us as beam from heaven
When woman smiles, she has the power
To heal our grief, 10 calm our fears;
Should sickness wound-shond fortune lower
She shares our sorrows, dries our tears!
And she can soothe the cares sfage,
AS rolls Times furrowing course along,
Can cheer us with the classic page,
Or charm MS with the magic song;
When srctch'd upon the bed Of death,
Departed nature struggling lies;
At that dread pause--when the next breath
May watt our spirit to the sRIos.
When he soul views the narrow verge,
Close on the confines Of tho grave;
And now it longs its flight TO urge
Now wishes for an arm 10 save;
VINO cheers that dfoary scene Of wo,
Who speaks ofpeace and Joy, and love !
Who wipes the tear-drops as they flow
lis Woman, sent fsom heaven above.
ATS she receives our parting Sigh,
'Tis she who hears our latest breath,
'Tis she who seals the closing eye,
And whispers peace and hope IN death.
And, when the mournful scene IS past,
Tis woman weeps upon our bierj
Silent, yet long, her sorrows last,
Unseen she sheds affections tear.
On earth she is the truest friend
That is to man in mercy given,
And when this fleetIng life shall end,
She'll live for purer joys in heaven.
Oh, Woman Woman thu vast made,
Like heavens own pure ond lovely light
To cheer lfe's dark and desert shade,
And guide mans erring footsteps right.

DEUCALION OF KENTUCKY-A TALE.
My grand father was one OF the trst settlers
of Kentucky. He was by profession, a miller,
and builI a ffour-mill at a village in that state.
II was called Thyatira, after one OF the ancient
towns mentioned in the Bible, and he and his
neighbours, the founJers,expecte il would be-
come q great city, but not a vestige Of il, ntilh,
or of the church nor mill, now remains-yel !
remember il all well. 1t was a handsome place,
situated at the bottom OF a range Of hills, wood,
ed 10 the top a fine stream washed their feet,
and The mill stood al the side OF a pretty water
fall.
My grandfather left his property in a -four
fishing condition TO my father, who was an en-
terprlsing character. He took an active part
in the war tor the independence, and when he
peace was adjusted, he returned TO Thyatira;
where he enlarged The old tlour,misl, and con-
truc,ed another for saving the timber, with
which the neighbouring mountains were cover.
ed. Every body predicted that my father would
soon be one of The richest men in the state, and
his prospects were certainly undeuiable.
l think it is not possible That | shall ever see
aeaip a place half so beautiful as The unfortu>
nate Thyatira, and the valley which II -oieuo2k;
and the woods, that clothed the mountains, were

In the summer, before the dreadful yellow ie.

makes me remember it so weli-my father was
muehtroabied by the failure ofthe stream which
supplied his mill. The drought dried Ii i, up. and
his wheels stood still for want Of water. Some
Of The old neighbors had visited the source of
the river in their youth. II was a lake far up
among The mountains, aud my father, being a
bold and enterprlslng character, though, if he
could enlarge the opening at the banks of the
lake. where the stream issued, he would obtain
an abundance Of water.

srrsr;or ,t;ll mr. great fortune a high military
reputa,;on. he is entitled to our respect and all
the houors which may be justly claimed or
prudeptIy conferred in a civil government, tr
mere "renown in arms" Our country has,
however. produced many men who might claim
at leas, an equal rank in honor with Gen. JACK
SON. I consider Gen. Jackson well entitled 10
claim a high rank ir his Military profession.
God forbid that | should ever detract from ms
fair claims as a brave warrior and a successful
General: but when he claims that the Presiden-
CIV of the United States is to be the reward OF
him "who has risked his life tor his country,
we are reminded that the constitution has not
established a Military Government over US,
and that an enlightened, prudent, sale and pros
perous administration OF the ciUH government
of our country, calls for qualifications which
are not TO be exclusively sought Tor IN me
camp or developed by the event OF a successful
battle. What then are The qualifications OF
Gen. Jackson as a CIVILIAN or a STATEsMANf-
what examples has he given US OF his p%olitical
principles-of the TEMPER in which he EXER-
c1sEs rowEa-of his prudence, his reverence
for the laws, ard his RESPECT FOR TIE CIVIL
LIBERTIES OF HIS coUNTRYMEN.
He has moi only openly avowed that The Con-
sti,ution of the country has given 10 the COM
handing General of an army the power to de-
clare Martial Law, so as 10 subject its free CT
,izens not in the Military service, 10 arrest and
trial bv Court Martial, but he has actually at
tempted 10 put such power into execution IN
charges punishable with death, and disapprov-
ed The sentence of Court Martial which reius-
ed to investigate the case and dismissed the
charges.
If with the full knowledge Of these opinions
Of Gen Jackson O. the nature offree government
and all the usurpa,ions he has up
on their civil liberties under them, The people
of this country should call him TO the Preal-
dency, then are our political institutions a
mocktry and a cheat. The experiment OF this
Government will then have been tried, and lis
fate will be no longer a problem to be solved
by futurity.

SMuGGLING.-Ihe familiarity and compla.
cency with which the English journals, in the
subIolned paragraphs, speak Of violating the
laws OF the United States and COMMITTING
frauds upon our revenue, by a deliberate system
OF smuggling upon the frontiers of Canada. can
only be equalled in turpitude by the sentiments
OF such OF our own citizens as %connive az ,hes
impudent threats. Foreign factors and adven.
'urers may find it more difficult to eIude the vi
GLANCE OF our custom house officers, and be
treated with less lenily for their premeditsted
%ottences than they imagine. Such menaces will
never induce our government so to chance its
policy, as 20 consult the interests and meet the
wishes Of Great Britain. We trus, the Uni,pd
States possess sufficient independence and pow.
er, 10 make and enforce such laws as NAV be
deemed conducive 10 our national welfare:
AMERICAN TARIFF THE Liverpool Adyer,
tiser, in speaking Of The new United State.
Tariff, says-"The duties on the lower mali.
ties OF woollens (Which are chiefly made at
Rochdale, Halifax, &c.) are so normou az ,o
amount to absolute exclusion. Great ouan,i.
ties Of these goods have hitherto been se,t 70
America, and the change therefore will be very
injurious to the British manufacturer. II can.
not be supposed, however, that The coarser
woollens will be totally shut cut of the United
States; the high duties afford so handsome a
premium on smuggling, that the goods will find
their way into the territories Of the Republic
from the Canadian frontier. The immense ex-
tent OF that frontier, and the nature of the coun.
try, will afford the greatest facilities for con-
tra5and trade; and We have already heard of an
instance, in which goods, originally ordered to
be sent from this port TO the United States,
have since been directed 10 be sent 10 Canada"
OPINIONS ON OUR TARIFF.-The news of the
passage Of our Tariff Bill had been received
The Herald says, "For our part, we do not
:hink that our trade will sustain any serious in> !
jury by it, though i, may be somewhat incon-
venienced for a time. Our goods will be snug
gled into the States through the Canadas to as
great an extent as they are now regularly inn
ported, and the only interests that will suffer
will be the American revenue" Another Jour.
nal thinks it will insure the completion of the
Welland Canal, and says tina, government will
moi fail now to take the work upon their W
hands, if necessary.

Things which haze NOT happened.-One OF the
grea, evils foreboded by the opposition, pres
vious to tile last election, as sure to follow the
success of Mr.. Adams, was constant OLSEN
sions in his Cabinet: get this has moi happened:
no Cabinet has ever been more united and har-
monious.
Another evil threatened, was, "a war with
Europe in the first year of his Presidency
Yet this has not happened: the Glamour now is,
that he has not been prompt enough: that he
should have advised war with Brazil.
A third evil portended, was, incessant diff
culties with state governments and individuals,
growing out Of his Uioient and arbitrary Temper:
yet these haze not happened. BY a degree of
discretion and self command rarely equalled,
he has resisted all excitement from the tUrbu.
lent conduct Of the Executive OF Georgia, and
Gained the storm which ragged there: be has
checked the irri,a'ing proceedings Of officers
in the army and navy, and has refrained from
OF
government. sHe has heard, without anv mani.
i~esta'lon of resentment, calumnies The most
gross, affecting his political, moral and religious
character, and the reputation Of his father and
wife and children and friends. On no poin, has
he been unassailed: on no point has he beer
assailed successfully.
Now, as before the last election, he has trust
ed all 10 the good sense and right feeling, and
sound principle of the peoples: believing tina,
they would perceive and reward his entire Ge.
volIon to The duties Of the office to which thew
elected him.

r,,p HUNTER OF THE HILLS


The hunter was a weary; all the Gay and tracked
IN 600, had traversed the broad woou.' h;rt
tbs i1o. .r Nerds to the distant hills that skrs .vs
His echoing death shot in the golden cloud,
And curbed his fight to wheel above the cliff
Der which the dun deer passed,-those carbon bi
Made a rich banquet in the wiids, that day!
The shadows of the ancient beech that hung
Fen at his cabin door, were lengthening fast
Oer the green slope, ere well his chase was done.
On its soft heritage he recllned, to catch
The sweetness of the passing wind, and list
The many voices of the falling stream,
And murmur OF the bird and rowing bee.
At times The wren would utter her faint cry
In the deep thicket; and the shrill curlew
And lonely bittern send their sudden scream
From their green nests, far in the river sedge.
Meantime the shadows of the yellow woods
Grew heavier on the turf, the honey-bees
Came with a drowsy murmur to their hive
Beside his cabin wall, and the wild birds,
That built their palace BY his straw .tha,ched roof,
Grew silent as the sunny day went by,
Deep silence was abroad! and ~twilight's cheek
Caught & rich heetick as she turned away
The hermit hunter bent a thoughtful glance
On the calm beauty of the scene, then sang,
With a clear tone, his low, contented hymn.
The kings of this earth lie down
\ With a heavy heart ut night,
Though they put away their crown
And the weapons of the fight
Still the voice and the CHASTITY look Of pain
viii pass DER the monarch dreamer's brain.
The chief on the battle field,
Is glad when the fight is won,
For Ills sweet, on his broken shield
To dream of what his sword hath done;
But there come, in the dim and midnight dream,
10 haunt his ~slumbers. the wild sob and scream.
Are the 'seaman's slumbers sweet
On the dark and savage main,
With the midnight hurricanes
Oh! the startled sea boy doth seldom find
A dream unbroken by the raging wind.
But ne'er doth the holy night
Bring an hour of care 10 me;
hear not the din Of fight,
Nor the whirlwinds of the sea;
The weary ing children of Pride ne'er come
To visit with sorrow my ample home.
