ON GRArUIToUS ADVERTISING.

II is quite clear to our minds that The voca-
ton Of making mt wspapers is either too highly
pfIzed by the good People Of this enlightened
world Of ours, or that is too humbly estin ated
-one or The other for il is a solem history,
that we poor Printers, Publishers and Editors,
ave treated with a consideration entirely dlffe-

considered as ,Oorth something But, on the o.
Their hand, they are IRE quenlIy called Tor IN a
mode which convinces US that they are not BY
any means looked upon rs worth paying Jor.-
One thing is quite certain: mankind consider
US the most charitable portion Of the human
race, or they would not so often appeal to our
share Of 'ha, heavenly virtue; and they must
think, further, that the newspaper is establish
ed and KEEP, up for the especial use, benef', and
advantage Of the public, and that the said pub
lie is to be accommodated in every draft it sees
f, to make upon the The printers time, ink and
paper, whatever, in the mean time, may become
Of the poor printer himself. Whether he sraive

1t isa charmin g month for youth or age
For rich OF poor, for all to look upon
Iife,s "duede cimo's" most valued page
We read il, and we sigh when it is done
Nay is the month Of flowers, and birds, and leaves,
of yerdant fields, and blue clear shining skies,
efhopeful love, and innocence, that weaves
The Fiorian- wreath to please young laughing eyes
lis chi!dhood's era even little girls,
Whose DAYS scarce number four improving springs
View Nav as Eastern beauties view their pearls,
And think and dream of every Joy it brings.
One glance at the interior Of that Fame,
Sacred TO Education ! and We see
Pow'r built on love. and pride without a stain,
And smiles wherein dwell no d~uplicity.
We see a free and happy fairy train
Throng round the mimic Queen ofthelr own cholee'
Present their cro,cn and banner, whilst a STRAIN
of simplest truth comnends their fioras voice.
We see their rural sports, their song and Dance
The buoyaut hearts their tell-tale faces show
We see the warm affections that enhance
The steps-the looks the rose-llks cheeks that
glow.
Freed for a season from their teachers tasks,
Kind custom gives to them a holiday,
which they enjoy, more than the great their Mosques
And sweetly usher in the month OF May.
oh +! who would not be young Who would not roll
Back, it he could, the wheels Of years gone by
Who feels not childhood past revive his SOUL
Tho the remembrance dim with tears his eye
MAY thou art dear to ali-Youth's gayest smile
Hath tenfold brilliancy when thou art seen;
And Ages frozen blood doth thaw the while
Thy sun appears to call forth Natures green
Sweet, lovely MAY votary kneels to thee,
To offer all he has-a simple lay
And pray that, blest with peace and liberty
All Earth may hail their ever-blooming MAY

"The common sense Of the world is against

for we take it for granted that Mr.. Droz is a

his departure on his mission to Colombia. His
appointment 10 an extensive and dangerous
mission aecords well with the general policy OF

New York was 10 BIZ intrigued with, and Ohio
was considered desperate by The coalition. and
therefore Gen. M'Con,b who neither from Ia
lents nor standing deserved promotion, was
appointed 20 thai respectable station; aud the
man who had rendered inf iteIy greater servi-
ces to his country, both as a military com
mander and as a negociator with the Indian
tribes, was sci aside ard appointed on a mis-
sion 10 an unhealthy clima'e, at 4 imr OF life
when he required = very different kind OF ser

Here we must correct some Of our brothers
Of the Quill, who stated thar General Harrison
has betn detained in OHIO electiohrsring for
the Coalition. l. is but justice to the General
to say tina, he has MOI disgraced himself by un-
dertaking any such service"
Blu, "Thomas P. Moore, Minister to Colon
bia," 4" will nos fall into the errors which he
has condemned in Others" He will make no
eiectioneering speeches. He will interfere in
none Of the state elections. Who believe, him!
Who, not as blind as a beetle, does not per-
eeive, in the publication OF this very extract,

Why this, bu, TO bear upon elections? He prac-
tees what he condemns, in the very act OF pub;
fishing his COMBINATIONS. And all intelligent
men must perceive it.
II would seem that the economical reforms
which are TO characterize this administration,
are to consist Ct savings in the cos, Of a few
news papers, aud in The odd ends of salaries
unnecessarily created, Tor The gra'i6catio OF
favorites. What greater insult can he offered
to common sense than This attempt Of Thomas
p. Moore, Minister 10 Colombia" to gull VS.
with a parade of economy, in not taking his
salary, whilst he stays at home, when his whole
out,6t, salary, and all, is an unnecessary and
useless waste Of public money? This is saving
a, the spigo,, whilst pouring out al the bung
with a vengeance.
The principle assumed isa contemplate
one.-Men in public employ, correctly and
honorab'y placed there, are justly entitled 10
receive their compensation, even whilst engag-
ed in arranging their own affairs, preliminary
,a8e aving their homes 10 enter on their duties.
II is The public employ that renders these ar-
engagements necessary, and the public is able
and ought 20 remunerate all, who engage in its
service. A contrary notion is NOT merely In
correct; it is niggardly and mesn. An honor
able man will never abuse public confidence, in
matters Of this kind: And 10 make a parade OF
not doing it, brtrays a spirit conscious OF is
own dement's, and very little creditable 10 the
party concerned.

"DEAR S1R-Among other objections urged

perceive il is stated that l am to receive a SAL
airy from the period at which the nomination
was confirmed, and that the government viii
thus be constrained 70 defray the salaries of
two Ministers to the same place and for lhe

be somewhat pardonable in those who form
their anticipa,ions Of the conduct Of he pres
ent administrator from the usages of the last.
AS Minister TO Colombia, I shall receive no
