American Naval Anecdote.

When Mscdonough was first Lieutenant
Of the Siren, under command Of Captain
Smith, circumstance occurred in the har-
Dor of Gibralter, sufficiently indicative OF the
firmness and decision of his character An
American merchant brig came to anchor
near the United States vessel. Macdonough,
in the absence of Captain Smith, who had
gone on shore, saw British tTigate board the
brig, and take from her man; he instantly
manned and armed his gig, and pursued the
British boat which he overlook, just as II
reached the frigate, and, without ceremony,
took the impressed man into his own boat
The frigate's boat was twice the force OF his
own; but the act was so bold as TO astound
the Lieutenant who commanded the press
gang, and no resistance was offered. When
the affair was made known to the British
Captain, he came OF board the Siren in a
great rage, and inquired how he dared TO
take n man from his boat. Macdonough re-
piled, that the man was an American seamen
and was under the protection of the flag Of
the United States and that it was his duty
to protect him. The Captain, with a volley
Of oaths, swore he would bring his frigate
alongside the Siren, and sink her. THAT
you may do said Macdonough; but, while
she swims, the man you will not have
The English captain told Macdonough
that he was young hair-braiued fellow.
and would repent of his rashness. 'SuppO-
sing, sir, said he, Il had been in that boat.
wo uld you have dared TO have committed
such an actl'
q should have made the attempt, sir, at all
hazards was the reply. What, SIR said
the English captain, would you venture to
interfere if | were TO impress men from that
bigP You have only to try II sir was
the pithy answer. The English officer re-
turned to his ship, manned his boat and made
his way toward the brig; Macdonough did
the same; but there the affair ended; the En-
glish boat took circuitous route and retur-
ned 10 his ship, There was such camness
in the conduct Of Lieutenant MacdOuougb,
such a soIemnity in his language, such po-
liteness in his manner, that the British officer
saw that he had to deal with no ordinary man,
and that il was not prudent to put him on
metal. Il Portland Transcript.

A barren shoal of sitting sand
surging sea, and stormy ocean
A beating cliff, bank netherland
Were life bereft of resolution;
The parent ofsuccess and still
A mammoth whlrlwnd in the will.
A steel-bound battering-ram, that lays
In fragments opposition DOWN
The vehicle that best conveys
Mankind to glory and renown-
A sun that cheers us with its rays,
And guides the incense gale Of praise
1t forms the column staid and strong,
On which great superstructures rise;
O'erleaps the rugged reefs of wrong,
And studs with stars life's chequered skie
Prolific, peerless, and sublime
Its offspring crowd the shores of time.
Like ship, bereft Of rudder, tossed
Upon tempest-troubled ocean,
With splintered spGrs, and canvass lost,
Were man bereft of resolution
A rambler through hedge of care
An atom in an aciid air.

that several of our best personal and polite

our articles last week as to suppose that We
did injustice to those State Rights Wings
who formerly constituted portion Of the
national wing party, by proposing to organ-
Use the mere persoad Of the old democratic
party This isl great mistake as We think
.tcarefui reading of@our language will show.
Our solicitude for the cause Of sound princi-
pies was produced by the anti-rcpublican res
Iolutionso Of the late Convention, and the fatal
tendencies to which they pointed In view
of these things We propose to rally into Vi
er & whigor democrat according to old sub
divisions, whose faith is based upon the doe
Etrines Of 90 and '99 as understood at that
time.
Whether such party should be called Re
publican, Democratic, or State Rights, oral
combined, signifies nothing 50 far howey.
