The cashier of the Phoenix Bank at
Lltchheld, Conn, is said to have Swart-

be sure. So it would appear these Bank
officers are bat men after all, and that

Ohio, played the same game, having &c.
$50 in his fob. They are gone, most like

Although the Democratic Wings [my
conscience wha. a name,] would have us
believe they are converts to the doctrine
of Jefferson, and now his followers in poll
tics; yet. occasionally the visor will fall.
For instance, the following from Wing
paper shows how dearly 'sMe great apostle
Of liberty" is regarded BY these worthless
at was not until the Presidedcy of Tho
mos Jefferson, a man in whom all the
vices ofCataline were predominant, that
the accused leaven of Democracy ire
trievably corrupted the public mind, and
brutalized nearly the whole male popula-

TO LATHONIA.

TO LATHONlA.
Quick, haste my muse with motion fleet,
Move with me DER a strain,
And let thy numbers flowing sweet
Sing the mind where virtues meet,
Where taste and feeling have their seat
With all the gentler train,
Lathonia, times an ardent breast,
There genius lit his fire.
There doeth gentlost pity rest,
There's pure affections downy nest
All that e'er good Caressed,
Or virtuous admire.
Thy gentle looks are pure and bright,
As radIent orbs of even,-
Reflect such bless as angels might
When with Joy they will invite
Thy flecting spirit on its fight,
To AMANDA" in Heaven. Il.

PoRTRAIr.-Brvant, in his us,

A PoRTRAIT.-Bryant, in his usual
graphic and discriminating style, gives the
following sketch of the leaders of the fed.
eral party.
"They have no more virtue now than
they had in former years, and it is well
known, that from the earliest DAYS of Fed
| eralism to the present time, they have
changed their name as often almost as the
American climate changes its weather.
One might as well attempt to follow the
balls and dice of an expert iuggler, as to
keep pace with these rapid transactions
With what establishment the more unso-
phisticated of the sect must wake up of a
morning and find themselves addressed in
name totally different from that which
they went to sleep Tonight they 90 to
bed as good Federalists, and tomorrow get
up, rub their eyes, and come down stairs
National Republicans, or American sys-
tenn men, or Conservatives, or Wings, or
Democratic Wings. Yet this frequent
shifting has not met with very signal snc-
cess. Perhaps it has never occurred to
these men that they were acting unoer
great mistake."
To this we will add another drawn to
the life by the Liverpool England Stan
dard. This English royal print says, in
speaking of "American modern Wigs"
"They are heartily sick of Republican
Sciemes-they entertain hearty distaste
TO the Democratic Institutions Of the coun-
try; and the populace is at ones the object
of their scorn and their fears ~
That Hoco POGO Wings "entertain
hearty distaste to the Democratic Institu.
ton of the country" is daily seen, and
indeed, the more hoaest part ofthem open
ly avow it!

For the Piney Woods Planter.
LINES TO THE MEMORY OF A DEPAR.
TED SISTER.
OH would the high proud gift were mine,
10 wake the plaintive thrilling Tyre,
I'd wreathe thy name in song divine,
And gid it with immortal fire!
Bright as yon heaven shining near
My lost Amanda, ever dear.
Yes, gentle spirit! thou art gone
Afar, upon thy path of light!
Thine orphan babes are left alone,
To mourn mothers early fight!
No ties of earth could bind thee here,
My lost Amanda, ever dear
Yet, often DER thy grassy tomb,
Thy friends and husband tears will fall,
And sweetest flowers shall cheer the gloom,
That shrouds thy coffin and thy pail!
Will not thy spirit hover near,
My lost Amanda, ever dearl
Oh, could my minds deep trembling Tyre,
BE heard in yon imperial sky,
I'd breathe my ardent souls desire,
Like thee to rise--like thee to die
For then, no more I'd mourn thee here,
My lost Amanda, ever dear!
But oh, thou dear departed one,
OF HEARTS that never can forget,
Thy home is now lit by a sun
That will in darkness never set
One wish to meet thee in that sphere,
My lost Amanda, ever dear!

ELEGANT EXTRACT.

I
What country so devoid of taste, as moi
TO foster the genius ola WEIR, or CHAR
MAN? Who would not estimate, beyond
gold or gems, the productions of an INMAN
or VANDERLIN? Or who would not, with
Roman pride, honor some Of the already
distinguished children of genius in our own
favored America? What land would moi
claim, as its poets, Sigourney, Melen

the latter natures own chaste heir OF
song, and one of the few who has touched
the Tyre to Immortality. Read his poetry
it's picture of nature in all her grandeur,
touched by the lofty mind ofthe Poet, and
iIlumined and rendered attractive by the
chaste sentiments of his own soul. The
earth is fresh about you, teeming with
green grass and bright budding flowers.
Yonder rosy clouds, rolling their bright
shapes through heaven, are wildly desert
bed. The giant peaks of the lofty noun
talns lie out against the deep sky. The
air, laden with odors, whispers by us MUIR
nuringIy. Yon river steals away into the
forest wild,-or, anon. Ocean heaves, and
uprises with the fury of the storm. The
waterfowl plumes its wing, and is lost in
the azure deep above; and now all is calm,
Nature enjoys deep repose. Not leaf
stirs upon the shore. The winds sleep.
Ocean is at rest. No sound is borne upon
the ambient air. The clouds are still and
immovable. All is STILL

We have had the following beautiful effusion
for some time, and the principle reason that it
has not appeared before, is, that we were unwil.
ling to part with IT. The gifted writer is well
known to the readers of the Planter, as well as
to ourself, and also the lamented subject, who
IS not and cannot be forgotten. We can say,
in the language of the talented editor of the

these touching verses, sour columns have often
sparkled with the illusions of this lady," whe.
Their prose or verse, have power to rouse the
pulse and wake the thrill.
