For the 'v,!ig and Intslligencer.

MEssRs EDITORS: As you favored us with the
publication of our communication last week. we
take the liberty 70 trespass on your patience with
few lines more.
1t was said, and generally believed, bv the
jackson people that if the Baltimore Convention
nominated Van Buren,, it would have the effect
to prevent general union of the jackson men
on him, in consequence of his not being accepta
bic to the people of the several States We now
find this prediction verified to the fullest extent.
notwithstanding the nomination by the Balti-
more Convention, we find Pennsylvania adher
ing to her own child, and justly too, as the CT "
party had given the State of Pennsylvania their
nomination for Vice President, in the person of
M. Sergeant. The Jackson party, or the Bal
timore Convention, if they had regarded the in
terest of the party, would have nominated Mr..
Wilkins; this would have reconciled Pennsylva-
MIA, and the jackson party generaly--but moth
ing would do the Convention but Van Buren,.
We may be led to the support Of any just meas.
ure, but it is impossible to drive u.s. we, therefore.
protest against the nomination of Van Buren,.
and will go for r. NJ Johnson, or any true and
Faithful Jackson man in opposition to Van Bu-
siTen. t"a}-..-.
As soon as the nomination of Van Buren, was
known, dissatisfaction prevailed throughout sew
eral of the States friendly to the reelection of
Andrew Jackson, viz: Pennsylvania, South Car
DINA, N9rth Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Kantuekv !,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, and in the Old
Dominion also, who never under any circumstan-
ces forsakes her children, when they are before
the public for preferment. Thus YOU see South
and North Carolina, Alabama and Virginia, have
taken up Barbour, and he has excepted of his
nomination by those States. To see the course
pursued by the political Jackson men, is truly ap
palling to us, to see their endeavors to palm upon
the public, a man as unacceptable to the people
as Van Buren,, is distressing, and injurious to the
success of the Democratic party in the Union
We have understood from some source, that
Van Buren, is about to withdraw from the contest,
we most sincerely hope this may be true; we can
then unite on r. NJ johnson, whose democratic
principles are known to all of US, who has acted
for US and with us, and struggled against the old
ultra federaists from the commencement of his
public life until the present moment; and if we
judge of the future by the past, every confidence
is to be placed in him, and we may feel assured
that he will act for in every public station he
may be called to fill. et5t-,

to witness this experiment was very great, and

FEMALE SoCiErY.-If there is any re-
creation, which more than all Others
tends TO preserve the moral senses from
pollution, the affections from being cor
rupted, the social feelings from going to
decay--to raise the manners and i'm
prove the heart il is in the frequent in-
tercourse with sensible and we'll educated
females. ! do not mean now that these
advantages are to be sought or expected
in the crowded ball room or ia fasiiiona-
bic parties. These are too often the hot
beds where the rank weeds Of dissipation
shoot up in deadly luxuriance and with
er the seeds of virtue. 1t is rather in
the exchange Of thought in the hours of
social intercourse, that the influence of
women delights, cheers, and improves.
Here, there is no artificial excitement to
lend false glory to her cheek, or de-
ceitful volubility to her tongue. ] value
far higher, one hour passed in the So
tiety of an intelligent, accomplished fe-
male, than all ghe giddy scenes of the
Theatre or Ball-room-I had rather
stand in the shadow of such woman
by moonlight, than promenade Broad
way with tho most fashionable belle in
the city. N. Y. Constellation.

Never shrink from woman of strong
sense. IL she becomes attached to you,
II will be from seeing and valuing siml-
lar qualities in yourself. You may trust
her, for she knows the value of your
contidence--you may consult her, for
she is able TO devise, and does so at onoe
with the firmns IS Of reason and the con-
sideration Of affection. Her love will
be lasting, for it will not have been light
ly won it will be strong and ardent
for weak minds arc not capable of the
loftier grades of passion.

The London Athenmum, in n notice
of the ninth volume Of Murray's ne " g.
dision Of Byron's Life and Works, has
the following:
"There are notes which restore the
bitter point and personal severity of some
of his sarcastic verses, or throw light up
on whatever is dark and mystical and
there is, moreover, a stanza Of Childc
Herold--a facsimile of the poets hand
writing, which the world will consider a
curiosity. 1t was, we find, dashed offin
June, 1916, during one of Byron's lako
excursions on the lake of Geneva; the
lines are as rough as the storm the stanza
describes, and the words seem put on in
splashes, as If daubed amid the terrors
of thunder burst.
The sky 10 changed land such chunge9
Oh night,
And storm and darkness, ye are wondrous
strong,
Yet lovely in your strength, rs in the light
or dark eye in woman! Far along
From peak 10 peak the fattling crags among
Leaps the 1.-Two thunder! Not from one long
cloud,
But every mountain now hath found tongue,
And JuTa answers throtgh her misty shroud,
Back to the Joyous Alps, who call TO her q.
loud.
"These are the words penned on that
wild night, but the reader must see the
facsimile to judge Of the sort of fever
ish inspiration the hard was under when
he wrote"
