HERE i* a looking glass tot that, Who on the public do impose j ’Tis my inter,t to censure none, Rut under this description coat* Election day is drawing nigh, le often banters, bow tbey’ll try, To gain a vote from ev’ry one, . From house to boose we see them ran, Too proud to speak before, They’ll enter new the meanest door, They’ll equalise and seem polite, But keep their object out of sight. We pity you, we hear them soy, Our rulers heavy taxes lay, Row if our ticket you’ll support, We’ll plead your cause in ev’ry court. Thus many men ate overcome, By datt’ring words or class of rami The man’s elected and supported, And got the votes of those be courted, He grows and swells from day to day, The poor are now become his prey, Tbo’ he ootid weep o’er them before, : ow he oaa turn them out of door, is heart is hard, bis oonsciene sear’d ; e’s tak’n the Dock and got them sheaf’d : Spreads himself and ttiws his seat, rhile those who rais’d him at his feet 1 mplore his favour, but in Vain. 1 'heir company he does disdain, [e’s got their votes, no more to say, •teem’d as dross they’re turn’d a#ay. low maay meetings are ereeted, ii hones tq get thereby elected; ' hey’ll ring and twist, pall ev’ry way, ‘ 'hoy’ll almost prench and try tu pray, Some plead for war and some for peace, But ev’ry one does seek the deeoe. femes times they are so full of grace, They pity all the poorer raoe, Rethinks 1 see one wipe his eye, And feign a tear, the’ it be dry. Resembling much the cfocodile, Who with kind tears his prey will kill. Such is the character of those, Who on the public do impose, In seeking popularity herd. To bind your eyes they’ll shed a tear, They’ll try to catch you when asleep, And if you wake, thev’ll seem to weep. Kind Heaven let-the people sea, The value of their libertyPear fellow citisens, awake, Cast off all strife, for conscience sake, Unite together in one band, And pray that God may bless our tajd. That we may all united be. in time and in eternity, That animosity may cease, Aud all the world unite in peace: Discord and schisms all be o’er, And sects and parties be no more. From Niles’ Weekly Register, The agent alluded to by president Boyftr*,bas arrived at New York via Philadelphia. Hia name is Granville, and be is •poken of as a very well educated and Intelligent gentleman—his complexion a dark fiiustee, “not darker than persons from Peru or Mexico.”—One of tfie Philadelphia papers says that the Haytien government Is now making arrangements to receive Sit thousand settlers, that they will be found with a passage, and four months’ previsions allowed them on their arrival, and a reasonable portion of land. These liberal advantages are not done with a pecuniary, but moral view, and brotherly love for an unfortunate and unjustly, inhumanly, and unchristainly oppressed portion of the human race. Another paper says—“As Mr. Granville the agent of tne Hav tien government, was on his Wav last week from Philadelphia to this city, he stopped at a public house in New-Burnswick to take supper. Between 60 and 60 persons sat down to the table, and Mr. G. among the rest. It happened that he was seated next to a U. S. officer, who was unfortunately ignorant of his rank and character. Observing Mr. Granville at his elbow,the officer remarked, “Bir are you not aware that it is contrary to custom for white men and colored people to eat at the same table.” To this Mr. G. made no reply. The officer then repeated his observations in a more offensive form; and rose from the table, declaring that he Would not eat with a negro. Mr. G. then requested the officer to resume his seat, and addressed the company bb follows: *1 am informed, that it is contrary to the custom of this country for whites and and people to eat at the same table. I ant a stranger, gentleman, from Hayti,and my ignorance of the custom must be my apology.” He then left the table. Immediately, we understand, more that) half the company followed his example, and went to the landlord to request that he would set a table where they might have the pleasure of eating with that gentlemen, (pointing to Mr. G.) The next morning, the officer, being convinced of his mistake, wrote an appology to the Nay tien, and received in return the following laconic and noble reply. “Sir 1 write insults in the sand; favours on the marble.” Another incident is worthy of notice. As Mr. Granville was about to leave the table. observing the epaulette upon the offi< c r’s shoulder, he remarked “SirJ am an • See the Public Leyer of last week.

tztssvr, jsswgir: ’"iffhT.il a specimen of Hay tien manners It would not be himss to send tom our young men to president Boyer thdT they may foam how to behave themselves like gentlemen and like Christians. *The editor at the New York Commercial Advertiser having favourably noticed citizen Granville, and spoke of the importance of a good understanding with Hay ti, received a letter from the agent, of which the following is a translation. There is a degree of frankness, liberality and good sense about this man that will force all to believe that a “sable countenance may not indicate a black heart.” New York , 18*4 June, 1824. To the editor of the Commercial Advertiser. Sir,—l have jnst finished the perusal of m passage la your Commercial Advertiser in relation to Hayti: were it not that 1 am confined to my bed by a violent fever, brought on by scold, 1 should have enjoyed the pleasing dbty of thanking jyou in person for the abend and philanthropic observations inserted in the Gazette of which you are the editor* Allow me then, fir, te be the organ and the lame paper the medium, by trhich 1 may be enabled to transmit to you the ex* Sressions of sincere gratitude, which 1 toner to you in the name of my coufctry.— flory redound to you, and to all thole, who do not think that a sable countenance indicates a black heart. As tbe concluding part of your article on Hayti concerns me personally, I shall here cite the names of Mr. McKeever, a superior officer in the United States’ navy, City-Hotel; Mr. Carnes an American merchant, No. 173 Pearl-streat; Mr. Abraham Slover, Bedford, Long-Island; the son of Monsieur Fontaine, French merchant, No. 131 Water-street,—these gentlemen, and many others, whose names I regret not being able to recall to mind, have left noth* ing untried to make me forget ascene which must have so painfully affected me; and If kind acts and delicate attentions, could forever obliterate afflicting lecollections, I should not at this moment remember my having passed a night in New Burnswick. The superior officer of the American navy with whom this unpleasant affair occured, behaved the following day in the most noble manner, and If history had not already handed down to posterity the renown of American gallantry, tbe conduct of this officer would alone suffice to proclaim it; for one must be truly magnanimous to atone for one’s faults, when every thing Conspires to commit them with impunity. I should have much desired to dwell more largely on this subject, but my illness prevents my so doing; however, Whether in good or bad health, you shall always find me, sir, Your grateful servant, J. GRANVILLE. JVote by the translator. —Some of the sentences in citizen G’e. note, are quite idiomatical, elegantly turned, and peculiar to the French language, and I found it somewhat difficult to give them the appropriate English dress. [From the New Hampshire Repository.] Worthv of Imitation. —Col. B—was a man of amiable manners, and a well informed mind. Being much employed in public business which called him from Rlace to place, ardent spirit was frequentt set before him with an invitation to drink. At first he took a social glass for civility’s sake. But at length A habit was formed, and appetite began to crave its customary indulgence. He drank more largely, and once or twice was quite overcome. His friends were alarmed. He was upon the brink of a precipice, from which many have fallen to the lowest pitch of wretchedness. In his sober hours he saw the danger be was in. Said he to himself one day, when he was alone, shall Col. B rule! or shall rumt If Col. B rule he and his family may be respectable and happy; but if rum rule, Col B is ruined, bis property wasted, and his family made wretched!* At length said he, I set down my foot, and said, Col. B shall rule and rum obey; and from that day Col. B did rule. He immediately broke off his intemperate habitß and lived to a good old age,—virtuous,—respected and happy. Let every one who has acquired, or is acquiring a similar habit, go and do likewise. The prime coßt of the Leghorn hats and bonnets, imported into the United 45tates the last year, (chiefly from Italy) exceeded 700,000 dollars. It is said the importation of Leghorns has thrown 25,000 industrious females out of employment, in the state of Massachnsetts, who used to earn a good living by manufacturing straw bonnets.
