With anthems to tn Eternal King.
The Sovereign Lord Of All;
whose presence occupies all space,
who built the Hesv'ns, and gave the place
Where rolls Earth's beauteous ball:

IN babe the seasons when to come
In rich variety,
On mountain, valley, forest, strand,

Tharperfect they might be.

Provided for their sev'ral wants
That which each kind required;
In His own likeness made HI Man,
The last best work of wisdom's plan,
With breath of life inspired.

Behold, what nice mechanic skill
The human frame displays!
How well arrayed is every psrt!-
The limbs, the head, the nerves. the heart
Which blood thro' all conveys
Behold the organs OF delight,
TO hear, feel, taste, smell, and for sight
The fine well, guarded eye;
And, 10! the gracious God of heav'n,
To man, hath Speech and Reason giv'n,
And named his destiny

We glad to that the seditious resolutions OF
Mr.. Wilson have been lost in the Legislature of
South Carolina Had they passed, the course Of
policy which they recommend would have amour.
ted to ali absolute secession from the Union. We
therefore congratulate the good people of South
Carolina, that they have virtue and energy enough to
put down the trcachcrous attempts which few fac.
tous and formidable demagogues have been making
among them to disturb the harmony ofthe Union.
The inaammatcry tone whichhas been given to pub.
lie feeling in that State, on the subject of the Ia.
riff, owes its origin to Thomas COOPER, President
IF The South Carolina College. The iacobinica prin.
cples of this gentleman forced him to leave London
at an early age, and associate himself for time with
sobesperre, during his reign of terror. At the re-
quest or Robespierre, Cooper drafted constitution
Tor the government of his mock republic, but which
was not adopted in consequence of some disagree
mcnt between this 'pair of nuble brothers," Ro-
besperre became incensed, and Cooper had to leave
Paris to save his head fron, the guillotine. Such
man is dangerous in any community. particularly
during times of public excitement Since the adop-
ton of this country as his home, his life has been
characterized by series of turbulent and factious
| contentious.

A CURIOSITY.

A man in Hector, rompkns county, while hew-
ing stick OF timber, few days since, discovered
in the centre of the tree, and enveloped in the solid
wood, several distinct marks of an axe or Ratchet,
and several o! the chips which had not been entire
ly severed from the body, perfectly sound. The
dead bark above the wound, extended about half
way round the tree which leads to the determine.
tion OF ITS SIZE at the time it received the wound,
indicating that the tree must have been sapliDg
OF not more than three or four inches through When
the marks were discovered, it was from three to four
feet through, and the marks and chips in the CENTRE
The tree was white oak, which is of comparatively
slow growth. Judging from its size and depth Of
the wood over the wound, the marks could not have
been made less than two hundred and fifty years
ago. The incsion has the appearance of having been
made with sharp instrument OF either iron or steel
Each blow penetrated inch or more into the wood
which iorbids the idea that it could have been done
with stone Ratchet, which was in use among the
Indians before the introduction of the arts into this
country Ii the incisons were made by steel or ir-
on, which is undoubtedly the case, then, either the
arts and civilization were partially introduced among
the nations which inhabit the borders of the Seneca
Lake or, which is much the most probable, the
blows IN this tree were inflicted much longer ago
than two hundred and fifty years.
GRATlTUDE.-The Reading Chronicle of the
30th ult. prefaces an extract from a neiphbourinp
journal, with the following remarks
!" The Philadelphia Gazette is one of the Oldest
federal papers in the city 1t lately supported the
election of General Jackson with as much warmth
as it was wont to do the election of those of its own
partizans. For this it thinks, as will be perceived
by the paper, there should be new parties.
The object is obvious. With the old distinctions
the Gazette would be. as hitherto, in the minority,
thus gaining nothing for its recent services in assist
Ing to elevate the democratic candidate" as it
used to call Gen. Jackson,to the Presidential chair;
whereas, by the proposed formation of new parties,
It would once more be placed in the mgiority."
