both the moral and political institutions Of
Jour country.
SIT is an evil that has, does now, and
will, in all times to come while ii exists, in
'volve in it, as well in its present possession
as in its future operations, crime, fraud,
theft, robbery and death. For the truth Of
what say as TO its present effects upon the
institutions Of our country, have only to
refer you to view Of the slave States in
our Union, and comparison between the
relative condition and improvementso Of them
and the free States.
"Cross the line that separates the free
from the slave States, or stand upon it and
look across The former, you see compare.
lively all life, all happiness all prosperity,
both public and private; but turn your eyes
upon the latter and survey it, every thing
material Except few wealthy proprietors,
bears the impress ofpoverty and dilapida,ior
AL looks as it pestilence and famine hat
been making sad Innovation"
"The anger cf God and the vengeance Of
Heaven seem to rest upon every thing upoE
which you can rest your eyes. Every pros
pect seems withered and wilted by the frowI
and disapprobation Of avenging justice an
violated humanity. In short, almost ever,

the corrupting and corroding effects Of sla

jewel OF all low eliness and Sindnsss.
The vivid and admiring forn Of Miss W,
OF Cedar swamp, was also vesy conspicuous, and
ktractively admired among the volatile and almost
rsnumerable throng Her tall pesson, and lofty
rage, presented her Oriental beauty But
wffat attracted my attention most, was the dmPie-
checked, laughing coquette of Hem rstead Harbor,
believe, whose merry laugh and g,acefal move
ments were inimitably charming.
All TIE sparkling beauty of Cedar-Swamp, Glen
Cove, Hampstead Harbor, and Jericho were pre-
sent; all Of which are worthy Of being noticed in
the most complimentary terms, but are necessarily
debarred from admission into this sketch, for
want of room.
Great was the ncoHrse Of young men preseat to
bow before the majestic shrine of beauty, accom-
plishments, aad virtue; among which was the well
moulded form Of Mr.. L., Of Cedar-Swama q
very welcome visiter at the mansion Of Mr. ~
He is young man of abos twenty Years of age and
has the happy tendency to appear at perfect eassn
all fashionable circles, which he so charmingly il
lustrated upon the night of the party.
Social hours passed on; and before the party adj
JDarned, the hour of midnight had long since past
still yet at that late hour, the lovely Miss N
tanned a lively and animated spirit and was waited
on by the brilliant circle of beauty around her.
At the hour of three, all was wrapped IN a sound
slumber, within the mansion of Mr.. N; the
charming daug hter, doubt, dreaming Of her idO-
Zing lover, and whomsoever he may be, We promise
him jewel of merted worth; and to the lovely
Miss N we insure all peace and pleasure

FISHERMEN! WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF IT2

In the Senate of the United States, on
the 10Th ult. Mr.. Benton, of Missouri,
made the following remark
"IHe Fishing Bountaes were becoming
obnoxious 10 The community, and he should
oppose the bounties until he succeeded"
Are you willing that Mr. Benton should
succeed in his opposition to the bounty to
fishermen? Then vote for Mr. Van Blu
rem reelection. Mr. Benton is his mouth
piece in the Senate, and undeniably ex-
presses the views Of the President in the
above remark.
Benton says, that Of the whole amount
paid yearly as bounty to fishermen, all but
about $40, 900 is obtained by fraud. Six
ty or seventy thousand dollars are annually
paid to fishermen in this county, and &C
cordng to Col. Benton, only the fifteenth
part of that sum is honestly obtained u
What a libel on the character Of our fish
eimen !
The efforts the President and his sup
porters in Congress to reduce the price of
labor have lessened the profits of the fish
ermen more than one half.
If Mr. Benton's efforts 10 take away
their bounty, are not defeated by the wings,
the ruin of the fishermen will be complete.
