Father TIME has witnessed the birth,
maturity, and death, Of EIGHTEEN Hun
DRED AND THIRTY Of his sons, since the
appearance Of our blessed Redeemer up
on the earth; and it is circumstance not
little extraordinary that, in no instance
has one year been born, except at the
very moment when another expired.
December, the youngest, and with the
exception of her next elder sister, the
most gloomy daughter of Eighteen Hun
dred and Thirty, is now drawing to a
close, and in a few hours her icy hand
will have terminated the existence other
father, and sent him like his once busy
and prolific brethren, to mingle in the
illimitable chaos of past eternity TO
join the unme assured eras before the
flood, and be buried in the common Sc
pulchre Of the unnumbered ages that are
gone. The mind of man ever prone to
sympathize with, and take its impre ssions
from the objects that surround him, will
naturally borrow peculiar tints, shadows,
and sentiments, from al occasion like
the present. 1t is, indeed, the season
proper for reflection, when the votary OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS and folly; the convict, the
epicure, and the 'man Of strong drink
the devotees of fashion and its vain pa
raGe, even the gay beauty of the assem-
bly,, as well as the philosopher and the
sage, may pause with becoming humility
and remember their approaching time,
the time for which, above all others, il
bchooves each ard every one to be pre-
pared, and which is so appropriately de-
signated by the Psalmist as the "days of
darkness" "lf man live many years
(saith he) and rejoice in them all, yet
let him remember the days Of darkness,
for they shall be many"
This, we have said, is the season for
reflection; how truly is it so' The icy
fingers Of autumn have laid waste the
beauties of the year; the cold and surly
tempests Of December remind us Of the
abodes ofpoverty and distress, and bring,
but too keenly, to the apprehension OF
every sympathising bosom, the miseries
and suferings Of the unsheltered widow
and orphan;-all nature lies in dreary
nakedpess before us, and the closing
moments of one of those epochas whose
scanty number goes to make up the en-
tire sum of our uncertain cxis stcnce, con-
spire in a peculiar manner to render us
serious and contemplative. We are IN
deed reminded that we too, are the off
springs of time, and that like all other
sublunary existences, must sooner or la
ter be nipped by the frost of age, and

mories and demonstrate incontestibly,
even to the unbeliever and the cynic,
that the human heart is yet possessed Of
feelings and ties too sacred and deep to
be violated by rashness, and too hallow-
ed and lasting to be torn asunder, except
by that God from whom they emanated,
and to whom they are destined hereafter
to return. Such, then, is the condition,
and such the destiny of man.
-"The race Of yore
Who danced our infancy upon their knee,
And told our marvelling boyhood legends store,
How are they blotted from the things that be!
How few all weak and wither'd Of their force,
Wait on the verge Of dark eternity,
Like stranded wrecks, the tide returning hoarse,
To sweep them from our sight! Timo rolls his
ceaseess course.'
--"But let not man complain
Else shall he never, never cease to wall;
For, from the imperial dome to where the swain
Rears the lone cottage in the silent dale,
All feel the assault of fortunes fickle gale;
Art, empire, earth itself, to change are doomed;''
"Yet at the darken'd eye, the wither'd face,
Or hoary hair never will repine:
But spare, oh Time! whats er of mental grace,
Ofcandor, love, or sympathy divine,
Whate'er of fancy's ray, or fiiendship's flame is

The following communication it will be perceiv-
should have been published in previous number
ofthis psper; but it was unfortunately presented at
too late an hour to appear nt the proper time, as
we have before stated. We trust, however, that
although its insertion is somewhat unreasonable
the subject matter of it will not be unacceptable.

incendiary

Washington, Ist. Jan. IS3l.-Accord-
ing to custom, the President received the
congratulations of thousands. who
thronged his mansion from the hour of
twelve Nj. to 3 p. Nj.
Soon after the invasion of Florida and
the capture of Pensacola and the Baran-
cas- by Gen. Jackson, | met with gen.
tleman of Philadelphia, now distn-
guished member of the Jackson party,
when the Seminole transactions became
the topic of discussion between us. He
insisted that the conduct of Gen. Jack
son would be disapproved by the execu-
tive department, while | contendcd that
he would be sustained throughout by the
Secretary of State, Mr.. Adams, on the
known and admitted doctrines of all
writers on national law. In Il very few
days we had, in the National Intelligent
Ger something in the nature of a semi
official and measured disclaimer of the
Generals proceedings; but persisted in
the expression of my opinion, that Pres
ident Monroe, and Secretary Adams,
would neither apologize nor compromise;
pocket the affair. AS had supposed,
Mr.. Adams did ably and effectually vim
dcate the General; and what is more,
the British government in relation to
Ambrister and Arburthnot did not take
exceptions.
But the question now is, who, in the
Cabinet of MIR. Monroe, stood forth the
advocate ofthe General; and who would
have brought him to trial by Court
Martial? Whatever may have been
heretofore the impressions of Gen. Jack
son and the people, it is now ascertained
that he owes it to Mr.. Adams that he was
not arrested and tried.
As to the explanations now pending,
they are of the most delicate nature.
Several gentlemen are implicated in
them. The Vice President has been in
this city several days without taking his
place in the Senate. For my own part,
| do not see much to object to Mr.. Cal
houn, in proposing military enquiry
into the proceedings of Gen. Jackson.
He may have anticipated a favorable
issue, and predicated his vindication on
that result. think it a matter of very
little public concern what were the views,
or what was the course of MIR. Calhoun,
on the occasion. 1t is enough, that
Gen. Jackson found n sponsor in the
American Cabinet, able and willing to-
vindicate him, at home and abroad.
After spending perhaps an hour in the
! Presidents mansion | took my leave,
and proceeded to make my respects to
the late President; who found had re-
ceived the compliments ofthe day, from
many gentlemen and ladies. found
with him some high officers of the gov
ernment, who had in the course of the
morning made their bows in the great
house.

There is one other view in which the
conduct of Ncw-Jersey has exhibited a
glorious example, worthy Oft all imitation.
She has not suffered her vote on great
national points of policy to be biassed
by any minor considerations, or preju-
dices of less worthy character. The
Ant-Masons dropped their hostility to
the Masons, and the Masons forgot their
antipathy to the Ants, and the two par
ties viewed each other, in this instance,
exclusively as fellow citizens, and acted
nobly and magnanimously together, in
the prosecution ofone great national OBJ
ject-the election of members to Con
gress who would sustain that policy by
which our country must stand or fall.
This is an example worthy of all respect
and all imitation Nat. Jour.
