PnEMoNiroRY SYMPToMs.-We have re-
ceived the first number Of the Boston
Globe paper edited by Samuel Dexter
and devoted to the cause ofAndrew Jack
son and the people. 1t is published dni-
ly including Sundays. This paper APP
pearing as it does under the very nose of
Daniel Webster, the supporter of Hart
ford Conventionism and many other un-
patriotic and British measures, must
cause Daniel despite of his Bank fees
TO '.grin horribly ghastly smile"

weakly paper, published at New Haven,
(Ci.) This is a fearless and indepen-
dent press, and true To the measures OF
Jackson aud the people.
In its Editor we perceive that bold
and lofty spiri, which will not shrink he
fore the shameless and unhallOwcd COM
bination Of the opposition. This coun-
try is in want Of many papers Of this
s,amp.--It is no longer to be disguised
that all the discordant and reckless fac
tions which compose the OF opposition have
become identified with the Church and
State party. This paper we see, is de-
termined to put its Veto on their proceed
ings by fearIessly exposing the doings OF
of our clerical politicians. When fac.
tons become so s.iamelessly desperate
as 10 array nnd sustain their clergy in a
political warfare against the Democracy
Of nation, il is well for us that there are
those, who dare point out the evll ten
dency of,his unnatural uaion ofspiriinaI
with temporal power. Even the most
violent par,isuns Of Mr.. MIR Clay admit
that his grand cholera fast resolution was
only a political man@vre to unhorse Old
Hickory. Yet these same pariisans APP

AuruuS, thou hast charm for me,
Ssec,er than any other season
Through youth was in love with thee,
A.nov am for other reason.---
love thee now, because thou art
A kind response 10 outraged feeling
Thy deathly hues speak 10 my heart,
In language soft, and kindly healing.
The trees now wear the look of death
And falling leaves their DOOM relate me:
Tae wind comes whispering her last breath
Leaves could ye plead Time would not
wait Sc:
Nor would ye wish to feel and trust
To broken reeds aud hopes unreal:
Nor know the pangs of sentleDt dust,
Which, silent weeps, through lisc's ordeal.
Unconscious duet 'Tis thine 10 DC
Excmpt from " lis that lfe is heir to-
When hope has flown, It's ours to see
The rugged way ha, we must wear thro'.
In vain we sigh--n vain we pray
Each fabled power wonld prove more kindly
But nsnght we galn--eacb present day,
Tho truth proclams, that we act blindly.
But hope, thou has, a syren voice
Great IN ex,en, is thy dominion
How oft our benrts in thee rejoice,
And soar sloft on fanry's pinlon--
The profIe red boon is still wiihheId--
Long time our faith remaIns unshaken.-
Unquenched the ,hirst--lhe soul is quelled:
And here the source whence doubts a.
wakeD.
Syrcnian hope who TO thee clings,
May ind too late Thy dark deception:
Thus life half spent, no solace brings
The soul sinks down in sad re efection.--
Starry dreams! ye light The mind
With fire we feel will vanish--never--
'ris quenched, land darkness trails behind,
Whose mantle broad o'crhangs forever!
Such is our fate and this is lifc
With varied ills Of countless number--
Doomed thus TO bear the venal strife,
Till death shall come with quiet slumber,
AaJ bid us on her couch recline--
A guiecss bosom will then receive u.s.
Not so cold is this deothly shrine
AS each sha neless wretch who hath decey-
ed Us.
All Friendship thou hast fed this earth,
And gone to cline that's more con.
genial
Oh that some soul could give the birth!
Pure,unalluyed with aughl that's menial.--.
Friendship Ike this my homage should have /;
Bef'rc il Ia knecl in sweet DEVOTION
Alas this boon, tits useless TO crave
