From he .Natim,oL Journal.

After what Gen. jackson has said and doak
and what Duff Green has been, one would
think that any man who regarded reputation
would be abashcd, mortified and humbled 1t
the miserable pretext. that the supporters OF
the present administration are the old rcpubli-
cm, party. This same Duff, ,cho soas aLrun
a Fedesuiist, aud is get, takes the liberty To
single out whom he pleases. and fixes on
them the stamp of Federalism. Not long
since, he ranked MIR. Holmes and Mr.. Bell Or
the Senate Federalists. The Providence
Daily Advertiser, in commenting on Duff.
very fairly and clearly exonerates Mr.HoIrnca.
but is silent as to Mr.. Bell. The fact rs to
Mr.. Bell is. that he teas al,cays RepuLlicon-
The first year that that party gained the a.
cendancy in New Hampshire, in the electson
of Gov Langdon and both branches of tho
Legislature, Mr. Bell was elected, by the Re-
publicans, Speaker OF the House. He was
an active supporter OF the doctrines Of Mr..
JefIerson--has been President Of the Senate,
Attorney General, Judge OF the supreme
Court, Governor OF the State, and twice Uni
ted States Senator. and ahrays under Reps.lr-
lean cotors. His practices have always ac-
corded with his principles That Duff Green
should reach out bis polluted hands to soil
the skirts of even such man as Gov. Bell, is
not strange, but perfectly characteristics: but
that the repdfAicaD papers should notice tho
falsehood, and not contradict it, Is somewhat
singular. 1t is ofno Importance whether to
be denominated Federalist is an honor or
disgrace, it Us the object in view which wa
despise. We well know that jackson, agd
Duff, and Berrien, and Branch, and McIancs
and host Of the party, are Ultra Fsderalistss
and so far as Federalism is connected with
this administration. ii is no honor. to say tho
least, to be called Fedcralist. We do not
expect that our republican newspapers viii

From The .NationaL Gaxette.

The London editors warmly commend the
first volume of Moore's Life Of Lord Byron,
which alone has appeared. II seems TO us
probable that they merely looked into the
book, before they expressed an opinion. We
have read the London quarto throughout,
with close attention. As literary effort, it
willnot augment the reputation of The autho, !;
nor Will IT exalt him as a moralist. We have
not found In the mass OF its contents, evil
dence in favor Of Lord Byron's memory, on
the contrary, we think that his conduct and
sentiments generally, as here disclosed, must
produce additional disgust in every sound
heart and understanding. Moore CLOSES,
paiiiates, suppresses, conjectures; tasks his
ingenuity to excuse and varnish the excuses
and reckless pro1igacy ofhis friend; while he
pays fulsome tribute to his own vanity in the
eulogies OF Lord Byron on himself, that are
thickly sown in the correspondence which
forms considerable part OF the volume.
Though we could not admit that the author
has manifested particular talent in this bog
raphy, wa should readily acknowledge that
Byren's letters s. diary possess irresistible in
terest, from the characters of the persons and
the nature of the topics, to which he refers,
and from the insight which they afford into
the recesses Of his own baleiul spirit, and the
secret ferment of those fierce passions of
which he was the sport and victim. The
new matter collected by Moore, is not calcu-
lated to enhance that opinion of the poets
genius and scholarship, which his works in
spire. Judging by these, we estimated bis
attainments at higher rate than we now do;
but il may not be altogether Just to decide
| upon this point, or upon Moore's execution
| of his task. until the whole biography be OK
l tant.
Byrons residence in Italy, and his expedi
! ton to Greece, are eras ofhis life with which
many remarkable letters and curious detail.
must be connected. The mercenary motives
OF has marriage are sufficiently explained in
| the first volume; the causes of the rupture
between him and his unexceptonable wife
do notappear to be exactly known to the au
thor or have been studiously ebscured--

Moore cites from memory, in order to remove
from the husband, as much hlamc as possi-
bic, passages Of those photographer Me-
moirs, which were seat TO him from Italy or

this reference; hc sold or sacrificed the Me-

UpM SORRY -

or all the falsehoods put forth in thi,
lying world, none is more often told, oI
with more hypocritical intent, than the
two words at the head Of this article.
To pity and to relieve the suffering o.
our fellow creatures displays a. feeling sc
generous, so much like the great Author
ofour being, that almost all men covet the
reputation ofpossessing such disposition
but as they are too selfish to exercise it ia
reality, they endeavor 10 counterfeit sim
liar feeling, though in their hearts they are
conscious of not having any just claims to
the character. When we compare the
language of those who are often express
ing their grief at the miscarriage ofothers
with their actual endeavouring to mitigate
the sufierings they pretend to deplore,
we at once see that they use the phrase,
+" l am sorry" either as matter Of course,
or in the hope of gaming credit for SYM
pathy, to which they are by no means en-
titled. In proof of this, look at the man
who wishes to borrow sum Of money,
the man to whom he applies, knowing him
to be bad paymaster, determines from
the first to deny him; but when he applies,
tells him he is rcry sorry he cannot accom-
modate him, and as soon as he is gone,
congratulates himself on thus so easily es
Gaping from the prospect Of loss, by put
ting his cash in an unsafe place In this
case no man can doubt, that instead of
feeling sorry, as hessaid, he rejoiced that
he could not, or did not comply with his
request. l2H 4 9aU.g
A man loses his property in. conse-
qucnce of being surety for friend, who,
through kDavery or misfortune, fails to
perform his engagements. All the neigh
bourhood are proiessedly extremely sorry,
while at heart they. rejoice at the oppor-
tunity thus offered them of placing their
own foresight, in refusing to incur respsn-
sibilty, in contrast with the pliancy Of
their weak neighbour. It's all a lie
they are not sorry, but glad the disaster
happened. a
When person is taken sick, though all
around profess 10 be rery sorry, not one in
ten will do any thing for his comfort or re-
lief Their sorrow ends in words: and il
asked to afford assistance, they say they
are rory sorry they cannot render il, con
istently with proper attention to their
own affairs. Their sorrow is nothing but
talk, and the only thing they are in truth
sorry for, is that their aid is required.
SO il is through the world; profession Of
sorrow in mo.. ceses are mere words, end
