Communications.
3lst. January, as.

Slr:
There appeared an article in your
paper of the 4th inst. under the caption
of ''Poetry, Poets and Poetesses," and not
having seen an answer concluded, rather
than let it pass unnoticed, to attempt, in
part, replication myself. 1t is not my
intention to make any invidious remarks
respecting the writer, nor do / wish to
manifest spirit of envious triumph in
what ON now submitting to your con-
sideration; but my object, true, sincere
and impartial, is to correct the premature
Impressions which may have been made
by the foregoing communication. | do
not propose to take up every sentence,
serialum, but those only which present
the boltest 'front.' cannot say that diff
fer with the writer "B. T. B,'' in his ex.
ordium, but in every other division, | do
beg leave TO say that our views are deci-
dedly at variance. He says, for instance,
"rhe days of the Patriarchs beheld the
first dawning Of the rhyme; Gods ar,"
SC. Now it has been disputed point
among philologists whether the poets of
particular dale recognized rhythmical
meter or not; and generally decided in
the negative; but even if they did-whch
! do not admit-can we with moral
propriety speak Of rhyme as Gods Art2"
The writer may claim originality in that
expression, for he is the only one ever
heard speak Of rhy me as an emonalion
from the Eternal. The Almighty has I'M
doubleday formed men for some noble
purpose; but if the genius placed in him,
by Omnipotence receive not the proper cul-
tivation, greatness will forever remain un
seen, and the man who might have Iegis-
lated for Republics; will die unknown,
unwept for, and cannot too soon be for
gotten. A mind totally uncultivated is
capable of performing no acts, but those
dictated by an innate principle which is
felt throughout Gods universal economy.
Every thing is within the grasp oflhe deep
ly educated.-That rhy ming is human
