PASSING AWAY a VtsloS
The solemn vesper he'll had rung
The lingering kneli al The parting day
And pure and holy VOICES sung,
Their lowly evening rounJeay.
The moon upon the crested ;owrs
OF ancient Salem brightly shone;
And told Of days and weeks and hours,
And ages long since past and gone.
The stars were beaming Car above,
With soitened hight as pure as day,
And musing on the realms Of love,
Upon my humble couch lay.
But sleep orsook my aching brow,
And heavenly visions by me sped,
So bright-ihat Memory secs them now,
As round and round my couch they fled.
And first saw an infant band,
With cheeks aud lips of roseate hue,
They passed, and each one in his hand
Held forth snow-drop tipped with dew.
And singing in their childish gIee,
With hearts vet free from worldly care,
'As pure and ,otIess white are we,
As the sweet loMret That we bear
The chorus of that Infant throng
Was sweet aud true as was the lay,
For this The burheR OF their song
Passing away Passing away =
They vanished, and there came troop
OF youths in merry Concourse met;
Their snow-drops had begun 10 droop,
But the hue OF health was on them yet.
They sang nc more their ancient song
OF Pure and spodess white are we;
The worlds dark cares had touched that throng,
Aud envy mougst them could sec.
Bot still me thought heard them sing
The burthen Of their former lay;
And in my ear their VOICES ring,
Passing away Passing away"
But they are gone, and now view
multitude OF manly form;
Their snow-drops are nigh faded too,
And evil passions round them swarm
And though from memrys tablet long,
Has disappeared their infant lay;
They sing the burlhen Of that song
Passing away Passing away"
AMI last in all this motley hrong,
A group of aged men passed by;
Their snow-drops had been faded long,
And how in scattered fragments lie.
But though their lie was well nigh spent,
! Aud they could scarce hold on their way
| Yet Stll they sang as on they went
Passing away! Passing away Y

Such is the doctrine of lhe iederalsts.-
Starve out the working-men and force them to

Bank of the United States; it proclaimed thai
the time for reasoning with the people had gone

minds of the people by their suilering:'
AIhe same doctrine was reiterated by the
foderalists of GAINESVILLE through Peters dirty
paper, in November last. 1t said
Take away their employment, and you de-
'priye them of their bread: and when FAMINE

after this. the Banks shipped away their specie,
the only basis on which they could issue pa

But recently the same sentiment has been re-
iterated at Springfield. at One OF the rowdy
gatherings of Whiggery. They had one flag

would bring ruin on the country or force the
people to vote for Harrison. Freemen oil Musr

Dear Sir; Your favor OF the Both utino came
duly to hand. To give an opinion in cause
of so much importance as that which has warln-
~ agitated the two branches of the Legislature,
and which, from the appeal that is made IS
likely TO create great aud perhaps dangerous dis
visions, is rather delicate matter: bnt, as this
diversity of opipon IS on subject which has,
Ipeleiye occupied the minds Of most men, and
as nv sentiments thereon have been fully and
decidedly expressed long before the Assembly
either in Maryland or this State was convened,
/ do not scrupe to declare, that if had voice
in our Legislature, it would have been given
decidedly against PAPER EMISSION upon
the general principles fits utility as represent
tative, aud the necessity of it as medium.
10 assign reasons for this would be as un-
necessary as tedious. The ground has been
so often trod that place hardly remains un-
touched. In word, the necessity arising from
want of specie is represented as greater than
i,reay is. | contend that it lsby the substance
not with shadow of thing, we are to be benz
ofn IN hno o,hI h
opinion, cannot at this time devise plan by
which the credit of our paper money would be
long supported, consequently depreciation keeps
ticles for which it is exchanged rise in a great
er ratio than the sinking value of the money.
Wherein, then is the farmer, the planter. and
artisan, benftted. The debtor may be, be-
cause, have observed, he gives the shadow in
lieu of the substance, and in proportion TO his
gain, the creditor, or the body polite, suffers.
Whether it be legal tender or not, it will, as
has been observed, very truly, leave mo alter
native 1t must be that or nothing. An evil
equally great is, the door it opens immediately
for speculation, by which the least designing
and perhaps most valuable part of the commu-
nifty are preyed upon by the more knowing and
crafty specBlalors.
But CONTRARY TO my intention and declaratin
am Offering reasons to Support my opinion
reasons too, which ofull others are least pleas
ing to the advocates for paper money. shal
therefore only obserye generally, that so many
people have suffered by former emissions, that
like hufat child breads the fire, no person will
touch il who can possibly avoid it. The natu
raj consequence Of which will be. that the spe
Gle, which remains unsupported, will be inslant'
ly tncked up.
With great esteem and regard.
