sanity proposes to increase the duties on impoatons

much foresight and always foreseelng what never

for granted that France roid afford assistance against

But the hatred towards England in France, at present.

emgrants from England with capital and they are found
in multitudes among the andhoders of OHIO Indiana,
Illinois, and Michigan. This is the population which
we need, and should gladly receive from all quarters
Neither should our doors be shut against suffering
from any land. But if the very poor of the British
Isles who fly from starvation at home, to encounter
prIvaton in country, can by any regulations Of
their own government, be carried TO regions where
they will find abundance, ought to rejoice, both

IN VISITING THE "ToMB OF WASHING
TOM AT MOUNT VERNON,
ny LIEUT.. sHuTTLEwoRrH.
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 now PROSTATE he lay,
No longer a weary-no longer oppressed;
A shadow of glory hath whiled il 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 lsraels star
Ere it wanel when his people had swervei from
their truth.
He is 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 an anchorets cell,
Hath gone to the sepulchre, fasting, TO pray,
Ere he reaches the spot the iremulous swell
vi his soul doth foreSnauoW tue glorious ray,
THAI beams er the tomb where the Saviour was laid
When he rendered his life atonement for SIM
The awe-slricken 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, We saw
That all nature was hushed, and calmly reposed
The river that gdes by the foot of the Mount,
And, while pensive we unused, our feelings disclosed
That the fanatic ne er hath discovered the fount.
That ount from whence issues each passion divine,
And raises the soul from this groveling earth,
To commune with its God, who will surely assign
No task to spirit of heavenly BIRTH
Yet, while we reflect 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 lore :
Difiuses charm DER the hallowed grave
Of the Hero whose life pure the Saint
That the devotee worships-and eternity's wave,
As it flows down the future, more brightly will
paint
The memory of Washington, shrned in our hearts
Are mementos that time cannot weary away
And the cenotaph reard by the scuptor's arts
Is yiewd as an idle and pompous display.
