AN NOUS ACT.

The United States Senate few days since passed
an act taking away the discretionary power from the
heads of the several Departments, in regard to the
public printing! power which, we believe since the
adoption of the FEEDER al Constitution, has resided In
the Departments and which nobody ever thought OF
transferring elsewhere until faction thought 1t neces
sary TO strengthen itself the ruin of Others The
design of this act is to break down the Madisonlan
the official organ, and of the most able journals
in the country: the act accompanied by union
of two extremes--Ae ultra Clay Wings and the ultra
Locofocos; the former undoubtedly thought it would
weaken Mr.. Tyler, while the latter very naturally
would join in any act, however infamous, to break
down the Administration, and the Wing party gene
rally; and especially to break down press, that de-
Tended that Administration with much Zeal and
ability as did the Madisonian and while it exposed
the Vaccinations of the one, it would feares pre-
sent the country in its true coOrs the lnamy and
abominaon of the other Had the motive been a
pure one, it would have been passed over in silence,
out as it was not, and it intended deslgnedly
to break down powerful press, because it supported
and defended the Executive against the base and cow
ardly attacks of a few managing, intriguing, spawned
politicians of every hue and calbre it cannot be pass
ed over without some little notice, at least
We sincerely hope that the friends of the Admlnis-
tration will give the Madisonian their powerful aid
let them come up and give hearty welcome;
they will be richly repaid by the useful political and
other information that is daily found in its columns,
and be able to Judge of the merits of the AdmnstIa
ton from facts they appear and not place their
lance upon the bulletins of faction. We say again
to the friends of the Administration subscribe for the
Madisonian.

A santon hath travers'd desert immense,
From the confines of Asia right onward he pressed,
The bones of his order hath guided him thence,
Till he enters the city the Prophet hath blessed
AT the shrine of that Prophet PROSTATE he lay,
No longer a weary-no longer oppressed;
shadow of glory hath whiIed it away,
And Mecca is gained, and his soul is at rest.
A Rabbi of Judah hath wandered afar
From the haunts of the Christian, where, erst in
his YOUTH
lie had read of the greatness of Israels star,
Ere it waned, when his people had swerved from
their truth
He now in the vale of the shadow of DEATH
The bones of his tribe are mould'ring around,
And spell-bound he prays, when he yields his last
breath,
That his names may be laid in that hallowed
ground.
A hermit, who droops in anchoret's CELL
Hath gone to the sepulchre, fasting, to pray,
Ere he reaches the spot the tremulous swell
Of his soul doth oreshadow the glorious ray,
That beams er the tomb where the Saviour laid
When he rendered his life atonement for sin;
The awe-stricken Pilgrim approaches, afraid,
On his knees, while his spirit is dying within.
Nor Paynim or Jew, or stern Christian was there
Yet all were inspired with deep feelings of awe,
In silence we viewed the sarcophagus, where
Repose his remains; and, still silent,
That all nature hushed and calmly reposed
The river that glides by the foot Of the Mount,
And, while pensive unused, our feelings disclosed
That the fanatic me- r hath discovered the fount
That fount from whence issues each passion divine
And raises the soul from this groveng earth,
To commune with its God, who will surely assign
No task to spirit of heavenly BIRTH
Yet while we reflect on the glorious deed
Performed by the spirit that still hovers DER
The country it loves, and its wisdom hath freed
From yoke of oppression, fair purity's lore
Diffuses charm DER the hallowed grave
OF the Hero whose life pure the Saint
That the devotee worshiPs, and eternty's wave,
As it flows down the future more brightly will
paint
The memory of w ashington ,-shrined in our hearts
Are memento's that time cannot weary away;
And the cenotaph rear'd by the sculptors arts
Isview'd an idle and pompous display.
