eral Whig candidate for the Presidency. The

grade our moral and national character. both al

L. S. SEANES.-The crew Of the L. s.
sloop OF war Ontario were paid off at New York
a.few days ago, and what is worthy of remark,
not single man presented himself in state of
intoxication. though all had been on liberty
several days. The Secretary Of the Navy, in Q
letter to the Commander expressed the very
great qualification the department had derived
from the report of the condition Of the Ontario.
and the exemplary conduct Of the crew. Such
facts as these are highly honorable to both Of
feers and men.

REMISSION OF PEsALriEs.-Ths ship Gale
douia arrived at New York. short time ago,
with thirteen passengers more than she was en-
titled TO carry by the laws OF the United States,
and upon each passenger she iucured the pen.
slty Of $3.50. II appeared, however, that ,l-
though she had thirteen extra passengers, ac-
eording TO her tonnage BY American measure
ment. she had thirty passengers less than she
nigh, legally carry according to her tonnage
by British measurement. The captain Of the
vessel set forth this fact in petition TO the
President OF the United States, and as il ap-
peared tha, the extra passengers were brought
in ignorance Of the laws of the United States,
the President has remitted the penalties.

TO THE HEBREW MAIDEN.
BY MRS CRAWFORD.
Hebrew maid, veil thy beauty,
Lest my heart a rebel prove,
Breaking bands of holy duty,
For the siken chains of love,
LooE not on me sweet deceiyer,
Though thy young eyes beam with light
They might tempt true believer
To the darkest shades Of night.
Hebrew maiden, while linger,
Hanging Ger thy melting Lutte,
Every cherd beneath thy finger
Wakes a chord that should be mute,
We must part and part forever,
Eyes that could ny life renew
Lips that mine could cling to ever
Hebrew maidea, no adisu
ItlE HEBREW MAlDENS ANSWER.
Christian soldier, must we severl
Does thy creed our ratss dyidei
Must we part, and part forever!
Shall another bo thy bride!
Spirits Of my atBors sleeping,
Ye, who once in Zisn irod,
ESiayou's mysterious council keeping,
Tell ne Of the Christians God
ls the Cross of ChuSt The token,
, or a saving faith to man?
Gan my early vows be broken!
Spirits answer Re They can:
Mercy y--merey sbono about Kim
All the blessed with him trod,
We can ne'er be saved without him,
Christian, believe thy God.

BY J. L. DOW.
Dread sovereign, thoul the chainlass WILL

B'he ballot box thy cradle still
Thou speak'st, and sixteen millions start:
|Thy subjects, sons of noble siTes,
Descendants Of patriot band
PThy lights milion's household fres--
Thy daily walk ny native land.
And shall the safeguard Of the free,
By valor won on CORY plains,
Become a solemn mockery
While freeman breathe and virtue rcigns!
Shall liberty be bought and sold
BY guilty creatures clothed with power
Is HONOR but name for GOLD,
And PRINCIPLE a wITHERED TLowERi
fThe parrclde'a aocHrsai steel
Has pierced thy sacred sovereignty;
ARd all who think, and all who feel,
Must pct, or never more 30 free.
No party chains shsll'knd US here;
No mighty names shall turn the blow:
Then, wounded sovereignty, appear,
And lay the base apeatatss low.
sThe wretch, with hands by murder red,
May hope for mercy at the last;
And he who ateals a nations bresd,
May have obliyion's statute passed.
But no who steals sacred right,
And brings his native land to acorn,
Shall die traitor in her sight
With noae to pity or TO mourn.
