The following very feeling Dirge ca the death of Adams and Jefferson, copied from the Connecticut Mirror, is from the pen of Mr. Drainard. It wai written impromptu, under these circuoetancet: A young lady was at her piano, placing "Rotlin Ca110," to a small circle, when the news of Mr. Jefiersoti's tleath arrived. Mr. Urainard immediately wrote the following lines to that tune, which the lady sun? and placed. They do equal credit to his poetical tate and to his heart : Toll not the bell, and muffle not The drum, nor fire the funeral shot ; Nor half way hoist our banner now Nor weed the arm, nor cloud the brow But high to Ifearen be raied the eye, And holy be the rapturous sigh: Ami still be cannon, drum, and bell, Nor let the fl of sorrow tell. Now low are laid their honorM forms, But from the clods, and dust, and worms, Their spirits wake, ami breathing rise Above the Sun's own qloiiu skies. And h ippy be their airy track W m il not, would not, call them back. For Patriot' hands may clasp with theirs, And Alltel harps may hymn their prayers.

THE NATIONAL OBSERVER. Mr. Solomon Siuthwick has commenced the publication of a new paper, at Albany, under the title of "The National Observer." The address to the public, in winch he

I makes hiseditoral debut," contains views

so liberal, sentiments so just, and reflections so philosopliical,that we cannot avoid laying the following extract from it before our readers. Michigan Herald. "Of one thing I can assure the public, that I commence this ente rprise with no hostile or acrimonious feelings towards any iany human being; but this assertion is not intended to humble myself, by meanly seeking to conciliate any one who may posisess hostile feelings towards me, if any such i there be. It is, on the contrary, the result of that calm and philosophic reflection up on men and things, which every man who sconsults his own happiness, without regard ; to others, must eventually be governed by. The spirit of revenge is too bad to be cherj ished by a good man, and by far too trou- ! blesome to be tolerated in the brea&t of a j wise one. For my own part, I have seen and partaken so much of personal ami po j litical feuds in this state: I have sutll rt d so much by their operation, and have seen ! so many suffer no less than imsclf, from t the same cause: I have seen ai d felt so j much of vii issitude and misfortune in my I own affairs, as well as in those of persons who wen dear to me, and of mankind in general: I have so often found myself wrong when I thought nnself right; and have seen so manv besides imscll. he-come the victims of credulity and delusion: I hav learned so much, by experience, of ' the instability of the human mind in its decision, and the mutability of the heart in !its feelings and affections; that ifmvgre

A venerable champion of freedom has often told us the story, while his cheeks were moistened with the tears that Cocred from a recollection of his misfortunes. He had volunteered in the early part of the revolution, as captain of a company raised by his own exertions. His courage was undoubted, and on his services the most flattering encomiums were bestowed. He left the service with honor to himself and satisfaction to his compatriots. The close of the war found him in comfortable, though moderate circumstances, .enjoying the sweets of domestic !ife, with a partner and four children. But his happiness was soon destroyed. His dwelling took fire himself and wife narrowly escaped but his four children were consumed in the devouring element! His discharge and oth-

ler revolutionary papers, and his all were j destroyed. He has since experienced a Iseries of misfortunes has been unable, ! from a loss of papers, to made the necessary proof to entitle him toa pension and (is still impoverished, with no offspring to j sustain him in his declining years, and I with no prospect of better days on earth.
