they both fall in love with foreign incog at al

Geraldine, all love, mourns his absence. He
appears to her in groye,'and with a ferocious
kindness, leaves her forever. He embarks in his
piratical vessel. The father Of Geraldine deter
mines to take her to a Southern cline. They
set sail, are overtaken, and taken BY the Pirate.
Geraldine and her father hide themselves iill the
fight is over and the ship abandonedsby the, ,pi.

embarks thereon his daughter, and in the wide
ocean set their kandkerchiefsail- to the Winds
Meantime famine reduces the pirate crew to one
man; with blood-shot eyes he sits in the bow Of
the long boat, his vessel being sink, and awaits
his horrible death. At night the moon is describ-

The following is sample from the .Macken-
zie's Gazette Here is paper established by a
foreigner, who is not citizen of the United
States, nor does he intend to become one. His
paper is not devoted to the United States, but ex-
clusively to Canada He would prefer to pub
lsh in that country what he publishes in this,
were he not compelled to fly here for refuge.
His aim is to excite our citizens to violate the
laws of the land for the sake of liberty in Canada
If liberty and republican institutions be sufi-
cient reason for this country to act in behalf Of
Canada, it is equally so in regard to every other
country where these alledged blessings do not
exist and then, to carry out this principle, we
must go against all Europe, yea all the world
besides! Are we prepared for this? We might
possibly be made to feel the resentment of a
"holy alliance" aaea" III
We are persuaded the exaltation and perma-
nence of government depend more on its vr-
tue and honesty than on it's soldiers and cannon.
Supposing the freedom Of the press to be the
palladium of our liberties, is this freedom to be
extended to every raw foreigner who may employ
it to abuse our rulers, people, or our institu-
tons! Is this freedom open to all the world, as
we'll emissaries and spies as intended residents?
if so, we think this boasted blessing will prove
curse. Let the press be unrestricted to natives,
mitted to speak through any channel against the
Government or the people: they should be re-.
stricted from political to literary and business
pursuits.
