BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.
On. Judith! had our lot been cast
La that remote and simple time,
When shepherd swains. thy fathers pass'd
From drearv wilds and deserts vast,
To Judah's happy climes:-
Nv song upon the mountain rocks.
Had echoed oft thy rural charms,
And | had fed thy fathers flocks.
Oh. Judith of the raven locks,
To win thee to my arms!
Our tent, beside the murmur calm
Of Jprdan's grassy ves'ed shore,
Had sought the shadow OF the palm,
Aud blest with Gilead's holy balm
Our hospitable door.
AtEallins night, or ruby dam,
Or yellow moonligh,'s welcome cool.
With health and glsdness we had drawn,
From silver fountains on the Lawn,
Oar pitcher brimmins full.
How sweet to US at sober hours
The bird of Salem would have sung,
In orange ar in almond bowers
Fresh with the bloom of many flowers.
Like thee, forever young!
But ab. my love! thy fathers land
II sheds no more a spicy bloom,
Nor fills with fruit the reaper's hand.
But vide its silent wilds expand.
A desert and a tomb!
Yet, BY the good and golden hours
That dawn'd those rosy 6elds among
Bv lions palm. encircled towers
BY Salem's far forsaken bowers.
And ong-forgotten song.

The only instance in which the Asiatic Chole-
ra has visited any of our ships of war was at Ma
nilla in 1920 The Congress Frigate came to
anchor, there for few days during its prevalence
and afterwards lost good many of the crew.
The following letter from DR.. Edwards, an intel
lisent Surgeon of the Navy, who was on board,
that ship to his friend DIR. Morgan, gives a brief
account of it. The official communications of
our Navy Surgeons, however valuable, are seldom
noticed or appreciated, for want of Surgeon &c.
neral of the Navy at Washington to take care of
them. aud make the department acquainted with
the probable utility of their suggestions. If such
had been the case the life of the gallant and H.
lustrious Perry might probably have been saved
to his country which he SO nobly defended, in
stead of sending HIM three hundred miles up the
Oronoko under tropical sun in the months Of
July and August, 1919.

era as saw it in the u s. Frigate Congress in

In November 800, the Congress left the mouth
of Canton River for Manila. We had lost dur.

Cholera had occurred Ii had bv this time reach
ed as far as Manila and had ragged for two months
with dreadful violence.
To the natives who composed the great mass
of the population il was more particularly fatal.
So mach S" that they accused the foreign residents
there of having poisoned the air and water in Or
der to destroy them and obtain possession Of their
country. Between ten and fifteen thousand of
the inhabitants it was thought mad persisted within
two months. The cruel massacre of all foreign
ers is well Known.

AS matter of speculation, though not Of inn

know how S. Carolina would bestow her vote for

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS REPUBLICAN MEET
NG.-A large National Republican Meeting was
heid at Louisville, Ky, Oh Thursday, 28th Now
Francis Johnson Esq, presiding to enter the tes.
timony ofthose composing it, against the doctrine
OF Notification. i ho Resolutions and Address of
the Meeting are lcvelled, not exclusively at South
Carolina. The Meeting declares its purpose to-
be to denouncc Notification, "as it has been prac
tiScd by Georgia, permitted by tho President and
threatened by South Carona;" in other words not
to spare It i'll Georgia, because Georgia is in good
odour, nor to limit denunciation to S. Carolina
because 5. Carolina is in bad odour, with tho gold
ell calf at Washington; impartiality of Justice
FOR which they will be admired, although tho syco.
phancy of the times may prevent their course being
initiated. Mr.. Thruston expressed sentiment in
the of the discussion especially forcibe and
just.
ave called on" said he, sto take up arms
against State which threatens to resist the Tariff,
but we cxhorted not TO lft finger, or breathe
Il complaint against another member of the Con-
federacy, which annuls the treaties of the Govern
mcnt with Il helpless Indian tribe, and incarceratss
our fellow citizens in defiance of the supreme law
of the land"
The resolutions of the meeting were opposed by
Mr.. w. b. Bullock, who argued, that however deep.
ly Georgia & the President might be involved in tho
g"i!t of Notification, the citizens Of kentucky, un-
der existing circumstances, ought to pass thom by,
and present an unbrokcn front against S. Carolina.
These views were opposed by Messrs. Wigginton,
Denny, Chambers, Thruston and Joyce, who con-
tended that stern justice required that discri-
mination should be made. Mr. Bullock's substi-
tute was rejected, almost unanimously.

THE PREsIDENcY-Partzans will prematurelv
press this topic: 1t is difficult indeed, TO avoid
speculation a question which has become para
mount 10 all others, and which shapes tho whole
Federal Legislation. Mr.. Van Buren, and Judge
Mclean of Ohio, have been formally nominated,
and have not yet, like Mr. Writ, deprecated the
step. We mean to take part now, if at any fu-
ture day, in The canvass. We shall try to sink tho
advocate in the impartial historiographer of pass
ing events, and TO rise from partizanshp to utility
This determination will not restrain us from an oc.
casional notice of the objects, and efforts of those
restless spirits, who already moving in the dis.
tant event of the next Presidential Election We
find the following in the Courier s. Enquirer
"Wilh the advantages which he possesses, Mr.
Van Buren, need fear riUaL-I say riucL but
John Mclean, of Ohio. This gentleman will
carry nearly the whole administration party in tho
Western States. He will be powerful in Pennsvl-
vania, with what is termed Jackson men. He will
command throughout the nation, an overwhelming
religious influence in his favor-And he will unite
the Antimasonic party, whose candidate he was
originally. Mr.. Mel Lean is, therefore, not onIy n
formidable riuat TO Mr.. Van Buren,; but candidate
on whom, In certain contingencies, the opposition
may, also concentrate their votes.
''Ihesc crude and hasty references TO individuals
and parties, are now presented, for the purpose of
assisting, hereafter, the uninitatcd to understand
tho movements which will be made upon the poll
ica chcss-board."

"Ihe rumor is that the President intends 10 de-

shore, and IN case of REFUSAL that the vessel con-
tanning the goods, will be required to at Sa-
