The silence Of the Globe indicates the fall of the

There seems little doubt thsithc enorinity of the
doctrines in the Proclamation aud the avidhy will

the Palace. Contrasted with his Message, which
was only ten days older and With his earlier Mes
snges, aud these all compared with one another.
one thingis scf-cvident: namely, that the Presdent
has no certain or fixed opinions of his own upon
these grave questions tina, he employs not a.
nuensismerely, but trusts 10 some one of his advi
sers to supply the thought we'll bold the pen;
and TINT the radical conflict which is observable
between his different papers, can be accounted for
on no other supposition than the chance ascendency
'ot this or that Counseior-Patlor or Kitchen, as
accident determines.

We admire, as much any one, the great &c.
mus, excellent character, and exemplary life of the
late Sir Walter Scott; and we are aware Of the ir.
reparable loss the cause of literature has sustained
in his death. But we dsappro,e Of the attempt, Of
some of his enthusiastic admirers TO induce our CT.
teens TO raise TO him statues and monuments and
we deprccate any reference to him by cur National
or State Legislatures. Such consideration would
not be extended to any American Ivy foreign nations
There are many debts ofgrattude owing from this
republic to her citizens, which are not yet dis
charged. There arc Americans ofgreat genius and
worth, who have not yet been appreciated or pro.
perry honorcd. While State is without a statue
of the great Washington, it would be traitorous

POETRY.
THE HYPoCRITE.

In the grave
This hypoclite had left the mask, and stood
In naked ugliness. He was man
Who stole the livery of the court oi heaven,
20 serve the devil in; in virtues SuiSe,
Devoured the widows house, ana orphah' Ufeau'
In holy phrase, transacted ylllames 80
That common sinners burst not meddie witn'
AT sacred feast, he sat among the saints,
And with his guilty hands touched hottest Things,
And none of sin lamented more, or sighed
More deeply; or with grarer countenance,
Or longer prayer, or wept DER the dylhg nlan'
Whose infant children, at the moment, ne
Planned how to rob. In sermon style he bought,
And sold and he'd; and salutatiohs mace
In scripture terms. He prayed by quantity
And with his repetitions long and lo'id'
AL knees were weary. With one hand ne put
penny in the of poverty
Aud with the other took h shilling out
On charitable lists,-those trunps which toiu
The public ear, who hadSn secret done
The poor benefit, and half the aims
They told of, took themselves to keep them souhong
he blazed his name, more pleased to have II there
Than in the book of life. Seest thou the man!
A SERPENT with an Angels voice! grave
With flowers bestrewed! and yet few were deceived
His virtues being over done, his face
Too grave, his prayers too long, his charities
Too pompousy attended, and his speech
Lardod frequently and out OF time
With serious phraseology,-were rents
That in his garments opened in spite Of him,
Through which the well-accustomsd eye could see
The rottenness of his heart. None deeper blushed
As in the all piercing light he stood, exposed,
No longe. herding with the holy ones;
Yet still he tried to bring his countenance
To sanctimonious seeming; but, mean while,
The shame within, visible to all,
His purpose banked. The righteous smiled, and ever
DESPAIR itself some signs of laughter gave,
As Intellectually he srove to wipe
His brow, that inward outlines dehled.
Detected wretch! of all the reprobate,
None seemed maturer for the flames of hell,
Where still his face, from ancient custom wears
A holy air which says to all that pass ,
Him by, 81 was a hypocriie on earth"

utter the fearful cry ofsMurder !"and of '.Bood J"
This cry must have been ringing in the ears of
the unfortunate men al the very moment when the
withdrawal of the fatal bolt carried them from the
tribunals of man to appear at the bar of heavenly
Justice. They were clasping each others hands
I,,t the moment they fell, but the suddenness of
their fall severed the association, and the agones
of death prevented them renewing it, They
struggled, but not Violently, for five minutes.

Execution Of tie Nottingham Rioters-Or
Wednesday last, three of the wretched conyicts
underwent the awful sentence of the law Their
names were Beck, Hearson and Armstrong
Two Of their companions had been respited -
The wretched men had meditated an escape by
making rope of their blankets; but they were
detected and put in irons. In expectation of a
reprieve, the execution was delayed till after the
arrival Of the mail, at ten O'clock
The procession was now formed to ascend the
scafiold Beck assembled first, with great serious
ness, but with firm and unfautering footstep.
Hearson, who had joined with great fervor in all
the devotional exercises of the morning, surprised
all who had seen his previous conduct by the
manner in which he behaved after mounting the
scaffold. He took his cap of his head waved it IN
a sort of triumph and began to dance like ma
MAC in his chains. H. recognized some indiyid-
ual who was seated ona house top opposite The
scatiod, and Immediately shouted out, "We,l

POLlTENESS,

True politeness is that graceful and easy flow
of good manners and kind, respectful language
which is characteristic of a virtuous, well informed
and affectionate heart As true politeness has
its seat in the heart, am inclined to think that the
person who is destitute of so amabe quality is
deficient in the exercise of tender and benevo
lent regard for his fellow creatures; for those
endearng accomplishments, and condescendiug
manners, which flow from philanthropic sensi-
bility of the heart, bespeak an open hearted be.
nevolence and affection, which never existed l..
the breast Of an humanity, clownish, selfwile
genteelist | mean that those who disdan t.
make any improvement in their manners ana
conversation, when they are as rough and uncome
" as the ragged rocks which form The pendine
cliffs of a towering mountain, lack that gram
principle Of generous feeling which renders MAJ
amlahie in the society of his friends.
The mannc - which flow from the heart, heal
the impress Gifts ruling principle, and display thf
tendency of the main spring tf acnon in the soul
go by linking togethe both ends of the chain Their,
appears striking affinity between external man
and the internal farnitureof the heart
But the question is, why is politeness so muci
discarded not only by the indecent clown, but b,
Il large portion If the honest and warm hearteJ
citizens of our communvi The fact is, it exis,.
more in name than i'll reality Its very feature
are maDg|ed and distorted; insomnch that it is sci
dom seen in its native comeiness h is Often rem
dered a mere heap Of fictitious nonsense by the ar
'ificial cunning off conceited fop The uncouth
manners, unmeaning phrases, and unnatural ges-
lures of the hollow-hearted coxcomb, have render
ed he very name of politeness to sound contempt
bic IN the ear of many honest men, Buta person
OF virnous discernmens distinguish false, from
true politeness.
Borrowed politeness and counterfeit complai-
strings too stiff to tie the hearts of friends
together in any bonds of lasting union. True
friendship can never be concilaed, nor sustained
by Inducements SO weak and vague.
