MISCELL.AN Y.
FROM THX LY2CCHB0KO VIRGINIA. A UCTION EX I RA ORDINARY.
I dreamt a dream io the midst of my slumbers, And 8" ' dreamt, it was coined into
numbers:
It seemed that a law bad b sen recently made, Xbat tax oq old bachelors1 pates ahold be
laid,
And in order to make them all willing to mar
7. Tbe tax as as large as a man could wall carry
'J be bachelors grumbled and said 'twas no use, It was downright injustice and borrid abuse
Aud declared, to save their heart's blood from
spiMiog, Of such a vile tax they would ne'er pay a shilling, But tbe rulers determined their plsn to pursue, So (bey set all tbe bachelors up at vendue; A crier was sent thro tbe town to and fro, To rattle his bell, and his trumpet to blow, And to bawl out to all he might meet on tbe way, Ho ! forty bid bachelors sold here to-day ! And presently all tbe old maids in the town, Eaph one ia her very best bonnet and gown; From thirty to sixty, fair, plain, red and pate, Of every description all flocked to tbe sale. Tbe auctioneer then in bis service began, And called out aloud as he held up a man, Here is an old bachelor who wants to buy? In a twink every maiden responded, I! U In short at a huge and extravagant price, The bachelors all were sold off in a trice,
And forty bright maidens, some yoonger, some
older
Each lugged an old bachelor home on her
Suoulder.
All history is replete with the evil tendency of political lunacy. We ascribe the downfall of the Roman, the Grecian,
and many other empires to the ambition of a conqueror, or some other partial
cause; bat the cause is a general evil no less than the corruption of the greater part or the whole. Shall our republic in the most enlightened era of the world,
and in the first century of its greatness,
be doomed to the melancholy fate of its
predecessors? Shall the intemperate
spirit of faction, sit like another Jove, on
the Olympus of Liberty, and hurl her
lightnings in destructive lury or like
bloated superstition in the night of time,
sit tottering on her throne of adamant,
and crush with a giant arm, the glorious
march of mind? Heaven forbid! And
may Heaven defend those brilliant insti
tutions, nurtured and fostered by Colum
bia's brightest and brave3t sons. May
the benius of Liberty strangle in the
cradle the Hydra-headed monster of fac
tion, and crush to death in its infancy
the Vampire of unlawful ambition. May
the great God of nature inspire the peo
ple with a proper spirit, and then shall the envious Albion never feast her eyes on the ruins of Columbia, aad then shall
she flourish, the wonder of the world.
and the brightest garden ot the globe.

FROM THE DELAWARE GAZETTE. THE POLITICAL DRAMA. "As an idle spectator in the lobby, I surveyed the scene." The grand political drama has closed, and the tragedians have retired and left the sfage to silence. It was such a drama a never gilded the brilliant imagination of Shakespeare, and never roused
the unrivalled powers of the immortal Voltaire. Before my dazzled fancy, the scenes changed every moment with incredible velocity, and all the belligerent and bellipotent powers of the mind were enlisted in the mighty contest. Never, since this colossal renublic started nn
t from the ruins of an Indian empire not even in the days of the venerable sage, who sleeps in the sacred tomb of Monticello, has such a tempest of contending principles shook the foundations of the
temple of liberty. All the passions of
the human heart yea, even the shadowy spirits of the mighty dead, that have slumbered for years in their marble tomb, were called forth in a tangible form to the great battle. - The gloomy doors of the dark mausoleum have been entered, and the silent relics of the departed made to speak. The press hath
groaned beneath the mountain load of
political exaggeration, and the country delifted with the stormy sea of sarcas
tic viluperation. Like the deadly Si
moom, that sweeps the sands of Syria even as the whirlwind of Heaven, armed with lightning; it swept over the earth and scathed and blighted every object in its path. Not more extermina
ting was tbe war when the wild Hungarian rushed down with his savace host.
like a, flood from the Carpathian hills,
and beat with irresistable fury at the gafes of Italy. Not more impetuous was the gleaming sword of Mahomet, when he called forth the wandering Arab and the Tartar horde, and buried in Byzantium's tomb the tottering liberties of classic Greece. Not more inveterate were tbe sons of France, Wheo forth to meet the Moslem host they rush'd ; And whit the crtssent gleam'd in terror fill'd The breach with bones ofslaughter'd Saracens The gluttony of gold, and the lazy moth of luxury, have been styled the sad forerunners of a country's downfall. Spain
expired beneath a plethora of gold. But may not intestine battles of the mind and intellectual wars bring on des
truction. Witness poor Poland, swallowed up by the colossus of the north,
and not a vestige left of former greatness Why did the mistress of the world, the mighty Rome, upon whose walls waved flags of every nation, fall. Lux ury and inglorious ease was not the lead ing cause, but the worst passions of the human breast. When the tremendous storm of war bursted upon her, and the savage Goth and Vandal beat furiously at her gates, she had not submitted without a glorious struggle, had she not been at war with herself. Caesar did not eubvert her liberties, neither did Cromwell and Bonaparte overrun the thrones of England and France. They were but the instruments, the way was prepared by the dissolute principals of a factious and degraded people. When Greece, the mother of science of the arts submitted to the Roman yoke, her literature alone survived the general wreck, all else debased. : And when the wild
war-horse of the savage Scythian trampled to the dust the remaining fragments
oi ner ancient grandeur, she had not
yielded tamely to the prophet's sword.
uaa not ner lacuous sons hastened the
destiny which awaited her. Lovely Venice throned like a sea Cbele on her hundred isles, is another example of in temperate seal and headstrong faction.
