NAVAL STRATAGEMS.

One OF the pretest tricks performed during
the last war was by Commodore Rogers. In the
early part of the war, when he was in command
of the President, the English ships on the coast
knew that he was a cruise, and would soon re-
turn and all the commanders were cautioned to
keep good lookout for the Yankee irigate-
The President fell in with the land of Monauk
Point, and was Standing to wards Gay Head, keep
ing an eyeto the windward for the enemys cruz
sers, when strange sail was made in the offng,
on the starboard bow. She was made on, to be a
schooner, rakish looking one too, coming un-
der full sail She soon hoisted English colors !;
and the color OF the canvass confirmed the indlca-
ton that she was member Of the family Of John
Bull
Commodore Rogers shortened sail and also
hois,cd English colors and the commander OF
the schooner, who was evidently thck-headed
fellow, took it for granted that the President was
one Of the English frigaies on that station. But
in order TO make sure that he was right he hois,ed
a set of signals which, of course, could not be
understood on board the Yankee The Commo-
dure, however, ordered a red and white flag to be
run up quickly and Immediately hauled down.
This had the desired effect The flag was not
clearly distinguished but the commander Of the
schooner was convinced that his flag had been
duly answered and not wishing TO appear dull
on the occasion, hauled down his flag, and con-
,inued his course until he came under the eewatd
quarter of the frigate, and within range Of her
guns.
The President hove to with the British ensign
flying at her peak-ihe schooner was soon with
in hail-and the question was asked from the
President. what schooner is that 2
His Majesiy's schooner Highhyer,' was the
reply.
Come on board, sir, with your papers directly

SOMETHING CHEAP.
BY c. SWAIN, ESQ.

BY C. SWAIN, ESQ.
There's not cheaper thing on earth,
Nor yet one half so dear;
IT'S worth more than distinguished birth,
Or thousands gained ayear,
II lends the day new delight;
IT is virtues frmest shield
And adds more beauty TO the night
Than all the stars may yield.
II maketh poverty content,
To sorrow whispers peace;
II is gift from heaven sent,
For morals 20 increase
1t meets you with smile at morn;
II lulls you to repose;
A flower for peer and peasant born,
An everlasting rose.
A charm to Danish grief away,
To snatch the frown from care;
Turn tears to smiles make dulnes gay
Spread gladness everywhere;
And vet I is cheap as summer-dew,
Tha, gems the lily's breast
A taisman for love, as true
AS ever man possessed.
As smiles the rainbow through the cloud
When threat'ning storm begins
As music mid the tempest loud,
That still its sweet way wins
As springs an arch across the tide,
Where waves conflicting foam,
Soon comes this seraph to our side,
This angel of our home.
What may this wondrous spiri, be,
With power unheard before
This charm, this bright DIVINITY
Good hmpsr-no,hing more
Good temper - tbs the choicest gift
That woman homeward brings
And can the poorest peasant liit
To bliss unknown TO kings

DEAR Sra Viewing, as have done for some time
back, the course pursued by the Globe, Enquirer Sc
cannot but regret the blind policy thus adopted by
these papers in respect to the present Executive
Let their object be what it may, have no hesitation
stating il TO be my opinion, that it is calculated 10
mjure the Democratic Republican party, and cause o
schi,m in its ranks cannot for moment suppose
that papers protesting such strong attachments for
the principles and the party, have really such an OBJ
ect in view but the least obscrvant among US, can
not but perceive that such must be the final rcsul,
II they let their prejudces veil their judgments ant
urge them on the course they have been followu,
Tor few months past.
Unsni lily, justice and liberal principles, shoul

SMALL POTATOES.

This IS the very appropriate name given by
the Richmond Enquirer TO an affair that has set
the good city of Richmond IN ferment; and il
is said is likely TO turn up James Riveri Ii
seems that the Seer tary Of the Treasury in
formed the Collector at Richmond that, from in
formation received at the Department, it was
believed the public interest would be promoted
by the appointment of two persons, named as
Inspectors, in place of George b. Read and J.
A. Hdrwood, and requested him to employ
them accordingly. Upon this, mighty hubbub
is raised and, among others, Father Richie
himself expresses his disspprobation Of the pro-
ceeding. lie says, it is thought the incumbents
are removed for having voted for John NJ. Bolts
In other words, that they were such violent
Cay-w higs, that although holding office under
President Tyler, they forgot themselves so far
TO vote for a man, who had moved an i'm
parchment of the President, and who bad made
personal issue with him at the pos-n which
issue was involved the personal honor, veraci y,
aud character Of The President. These men
voluntarily made themselves parties in this con
troversy, Notwithstanding their relation To the
President--at least, so says the Enquirer for We
know nothing Of the case beyond what is found
in that paper.
And now, we put 1t to every honorable and in
teliigent citizen, in this community, whether
men, so conducting themselves, could be re
tanned in office by a Secretary who had any re
gard for the character Of the President or for tn,
| honor of the Government Upon merely poll
| lical grounds, we ask Mr.. Richie whether sucl
men could be retained Under other Admins
trations, The editor Of the Enquirer found no faul
with General Jackson or Mr.. Van Buren, TO
promptly removing officers avowedly hostile t
them. Remember the sweep that was made by
| both those Presidents throughout Custom houses

branch OF The Government Did the editor O
