liar ercellencies, that while he is second TO
none in talents and experience, he makes
neither personal influence nor erertion for
what should always be the free gift oi free
people, "If the character of Mr.. Adams
is destined to be mangled and ecen cr,.cifed
TO CRAFTY British sycophants, or the sinister
rietcs Of drmagogues, ichose path to office is
obstructed by his cirtues,
Let the tempest rage
An honest man il still an unmoved rock,
Washed whittier but not shaken by the shock. "

"The election of Gen. Jackson to the
Presidency, is not to be dreaded, as it can,

You nose il halt mile,
The New Hotel is on the hill,
Where purest breezes blow,

And the choicest liquors flow,
And there upon the glorious Fourth,
Shall JOY and mirth abound,
And business, care, and politics,
In rosy wine be drown'd.

had been shewn to him by the municipal
authorities ofthe city Of NewYork. tie
observed that he had on all occasions, felt
deep interest IN the prosperity and haPpi
ness of our city, as well from having found
early and endearing connection in 1t, us
from public considerations, and added, with

that he had, in every station in which he
had been placed, served his country with
an honest zeal, and with sincere desire TO

his motives duly appreciated by his fellow

a remote part of Dnhartonshlre, IN add
ton to a pony and couple of beautiful
grey hounds. entertained a monkey, that
had been sent him by military officer from
Gbralter. Pug had formed particular
friendship with the dogs, and 1t was no un-
frequent sight to behold him seated on the
back of one Of them, cantering across the
lawn in front ofhis masters dwelling, and
aping all the airs Of first rate sportsman.
Mr.--, having risen early one morn
inc, mounted his shelly, aud taking along
with him the two barriers, had scarcely e.

nv to his wish, unexpectedly appeared, and
was permitted. after a gentle repumand, TO
take ms usual seat on the back Of one Of
his fayorltes. After proceeding through
several fields. and atfording by their con
joiaed drollery. abundance of mirth TO their
worthy master, a hare suddenly startedup
a fewndges from the nose of the unencum-
bered grey hound, and scudded along with
lll the swiftness twas master of when 1t
was instantly pursued by both of the dogs,
PUG all the while retaining his seat with
wonderful science, as. Mazeppa-like, he
flew with his gallant steed around the side
ola moory hin, with his tiny arm clasped
firmly around his neck. The gentleman
soon lost sight ofthem, but. putting spurs
to his pony, followed, as nearly as he could
guess, the direction they had taken, and
coming up with a highlander, who was
busily employed buildlnga stone dyke, he
enauired Of him if he had seen any dogs
