Mr. MILLER said, that if tho question was NOW

I'M NOT HANDSOME MAN.

When have pondered, now and then,
The miscries that arise
From those thrice "a orcd mortals, "Men
With lovely hair, and eyes"
The girls that daily lose their wits,
From "looks where lightnings flash -
The tears, and sighs, and iainting fiis,
Produced bya mustacbe;
The battles, murders, wounds, and scars
Since first the world began
very often thank my stars
I'm not handsome man.
Though am tender to them all,
For me they never fret;
never caur tear to full
From any female, yet
We part Tor twenty years, or two
No "streng convulslons' tell
We meet-I laulter "ilow dye do'"
They laugh gay "Quite well
| never hear you've grown so thin,"
From Fanny, or from Ann;
/ can't perceive they caro- . pin
I'm not handsome man.
The "soft regrets" the "sgony,"
The "soothiDgs," that repay
A broken heart, or head, on mo
Are never thrown away;
They see me take, without remorse,
No sust' finance for week;
Or mount the most neck breaking horse,
Without single shrek:
No "Don't for mercy's sake be rash,"
No tender "Ilow you can"
Unheeded all my bones may crash
I'm not handsome man
All my perfections have an "Ir."
My virtues all "BuT,"
"Hls gait is graceful, BUT too stiff"
His mouth well shipped, II shut !"
die writes the most delicious rhymes,
But has not one blue ccia p
'Like Byron, raves Of foreign climes,
But, Heavens he is SO plain :"
Yet this, for all have withstood,
The only praise they can
~f he's not beautiful, he's good
I'm not handsome man!

this object, should receive their quotas Of the fund,
with interest, from the time it was funded.

"York," calm and most sensible writer in
ply to Appomatox in the Enquirer Of this day,
observes
''The Tariff Of which we complain so much,
may be so reduced as to remove all actual
oppression, and yet surplus may DO left adequate
to the exigency. Surely to effect object like
this (remova of colored population the purtiZan
would abatc his fervid hostility to measure, the
burthen imposed by which, is inapprccably light,
when compared with that sought to be removed"
(savery)
To this the Editors of the Enquirer observe,
''Wo think it our duty to protest against these
propositions"
Notwithstanding tho Editors protest, tho fact
is not only York says, but the conviction of its
truth is widely and rapidly dilusing. 1t has pro-
duced, and will yet farther produce, abatement of
hostility to the Tariff in Virginia and all the
South. If the Tariff was not connected with party
views and party fceling--if it not necessary TO
keep up popular camor against it, to accomplish
certain purposes dear to certain Virginia polit-
clans C. g. to keep down Henry Clay-wc con-
scientousy believe that hostility to it, in Virginia
at least, would die away How can it be &C.
counted for on any other supposition, that many
of the strongest Anti-Tariff men in the State and
the Legislature, arc the partZans of MIR. Van Blu
rem? The fact proves that opposition 10 the Ia
riff is more party policy, than the result of con-
viction of its mischicvous Observation-Disclosures
Mr.. Van Buren, would be equally opposed with
Mr.. Clay. We informed that these matters
understood at Washington.
Slavery is not only million of degrees more ru-
nous to the prosperity of the South than the Ia
riff, but it is the very which makes the Tariff
itsef oppressive Of it be oppressve-which we do
not see, and do not bclicvc) Is not the entire
non-slave-holding quarter of the Union hourishing
under the Tariff to extent without any parallel
in the history of the world? Would prosperity
cease precisely at the line of the Ohio and Mason
and Dixon, and decay begin, if slavery did not OK
crt an inhuenc to produce tiff it were not tie
itself, the great and undeniable cause-or by
its presence, excluded those benevolent causes
from operating, which throughout the North, Mid
die and West, have astonished the world by their
resultsY
This truth is too striking to be overooked-too
important to be neglocted-too invincblc to be
combated. The people of Virginia if they have
not already, tDW see, ackn owlcdgc and avail them
selves Of it. The Enquirer may "protest," alarm
ed at its party bearing, but it is city on hill
which cannot be hidden

EUROPE

The Editor of the Philadelphia National Ga
zette, whose opin ons on foreign politics are
generally of a character 10 elicit entire conf
dence in their general accuracy. give. us the
following speculation, which COMEDIES with the
impression prevalent among the most enlighten-
ed men of both Europe and this country:
"Our files of Galignaui's Messenger, and the
Paris Journal dcs Debats. down to the 23d ul,-
no, have reached us. We have also, the Jour
MAJ du lIavrc Of the 18th. From the gene al
complexion of the French iclcs, and the pro-
cecdngs in the Chamber of Deputies, we should
incr that the reign of Louis Philippe is likely
TO be short The mockery of which he was the
subject in The Chamber. is more uminous than
lnvectIvc. His downfall would be tho signal for
a general war, of which, indeed, the proba biity
seems to have been increased by external cir
cumstanccs.
"The London Courier, in reply to an ar icle
Of the Paris Times, observes that the military
| strength of Russia, Austria and Prussia was fai
frcm being unprecedented, in fact, the armies u
| the two latter powers were never larger MOI
more finely appointed than at present, and tina
Fr:nce would do better 10 rely upon her owl
resources than upon any fal'acious calculation:
of the means of aggression which other coun-
tries possess. 1t is remarked under the Paris
head Of The 13,h, that the French Government
seemed 10 be reducing its navy, while it aug
mented and improved Its land forces; and this il
! accounted for by supposed understanding with
Great Britain, whose fleets would suffice for
both nations in case of a war. We have marked
for publication, various articles of interest il
Galgnani's Messenger, and the London Morn
ing Chronicle Of the first week OF lat month"
| The numbers of the London Morning Chro
nlcle, of the first week of January, contain Sc
ycral letters of its Paris correspondent, o.
q. Hc predicts the downfall OF Louis Philippe
and coalition of Russia, Austria, Prussia an
Holland. against France and Belgium.
