will continue TO advocate the cause oil the country
and the people, against every attempt to tamper witt
their rights, whether Il comes from the avowed ant
open opponents OF democracy, or its pretended friends
but secret enemies. We hear much said about the
designs of the Wings and the corrupt intentions OF
the nks TO destroy the liberties Of the country, and
forge chains for the people Ii is well that the peo-
ple should watch The citadels of their liberties in that
direction but in doing so, they should not overlook
the avenues Of approach from other quarters no
avenue should be left dngu rded. Most especially
would we invoke their vigilance TO the power, ile
oyershowing influence and immense patronage OF
the General Government. Watch with argus-eyed
scrutiny the conduct OF this immense engine, and
see thai their designs are not even more dangerous

litieal opponents.
We must confess that we have seen and expert
enced much from that direction, within The last
twelve months to create in our breast alarm and APP
prehension for the liberties Of our beloved country
When first the danger from that quarter attracted our
attention and when we first sounded the alarm,

ROMANTIC ADVENTURE.

A few wears since. the family oil mer-
chant. resident in one OF the great CONNER
cial towns Of the north, was thrown into a
state or the greatest confusion by the unex-
pected disappearance Of the youngest daueh-
Ter. II appears that the young lady had, on
the morning Of the I'd instant. left home at an
early hour, intending 10 ,is, some friends who
resided on the side of the river opposite TO
that on which the town stands. Fastening
toward the pier Ia take passage on board one

gates Of the dock forming the briage) having
been opened to afford egress 10 M American
vessel Outward bound. The ship being at
length lowed into the basin, the gates were
closed, and the crowd pressed forward 10
cross tho bridge. A rope, which had been
attached to the side Of the vessel, and like
wise fastened to post on the pier head, be-,
ing at this moment suddenly jcrked, came
with such violence against the ANGLES Of many
Of the crowd as to cause their instant sab
mersion the lady being on the edge OF the
pier was unfortunately precipitated into the
water. A rush was made TO the spot from
whence she had fallen; a rope was thrown

as he was, plunged in, and managed with
difficulty. to keep the lady above water till The

a coach was procured. and in short time the
gentleman set down his dripping charge at
the door of her fathers domicil. lnthe even
ing he called to Esquire after her health. next
day repeated his visits, and procured private
interview. the parents being out. The fol-
lowing morning came, but no lady appeared
at the breakfast table--the bird had flown, and
as might have been expected, father and mo-
Their were inconsolahle. Things remained in
this state until the evening of the 10th, when
the arrival Of letter informed The family
that the lady was quite safe. she having, in
token Of gratitude. surrendered her hand and
fortune to her deaiverer. The worthy mer-
chant, displeased at this step, was satisfied 10
find that his daughters husband was no needy
adventurer, but the possessor Of a iolerable
income. This novel and speedy mode Of
procuring partner for life, il is reported, has
caused so great sensation among the spin
sters Of the town, that many who have long
languished in vain, have fully determined,
when warm weather may come, to try the
efficacy Of bath, but have also taken the
precaution to order cork jackets to be made,
the use of which nigh, prevent fearful con-
sequences, should no knight deliyerer appear.
