circulation of the State Journal and Sentinel, we may be permitted at the outset to refer to the paramount claims to which a well conducted and independent Pkess, pub
lished at the seat of Government, is entitled
on the part of the public, for their patronage and support. It combines advantages peculiar to its central position, possessing, as it
does, the means of ditTusing the earliest and
most correct intelligence ot all interesting matters, of whatever character,through theva-j rious parts of the State; and furnishing to the
people a minute detail of the proceedings of
the State Legislature when in session, by
which the electors are enabled to obtain a
knowledge of the acts of their immediate representatives, together with what belongs to the general weal. It is assumed that the Journal and Sentinel possesses the character here indicated: Thai it wiil fulfil these requirements that no labor or industry will
be wanting in their accomplishment, its present managers pledge themselves to the public.
We have reached a crisis in our national affairs; and the question is now to be decided whether we are to live under a republican or a consolidated government, whether all power is to be vested in one executive head, supported by a combination of the office holders of the general government, their adherents and dependents, or, our beautiful system of checks and balances, by which power is distributed among the co-ordinate branches of the general government, as provided in the
Constitution, is longer to be preserved. That the course of our national aO'airs has been downward, and that consolidation must follow as the inevitable consequence of the various acts and measures of the present Chief Ma
gistrate, is too palpable te be denied, lo arrest this system in its progress to act as sentinels on the watchtower to arouse the people to a due sense of their danger, our best efforts will be employed. Fearlessly sustaining the great and fundamental principles of democracy, as taught in the days of Jefferson and Madison, our course will be firm and undeviating opposing in every
shape and under all circumstances, encroachments upon the rights of the people or the reserved rights of the States, proceeding from whatever source. Such are our general political principles. We are opposed to consolidation. We are opposed to a central power trammeling, by means of its scattered retainers, the free action of the people, and corrupting the purity of the elective franchise, in the individual
AMBITION. BY JOUX REAL. I loved to hear the war-horn cry, And panted at the drum's deep roll; And held my breath when floating high
I saw our starry banners fly As challenging the haughty sky, They went like battle o'er my soull For I was so ambitious then , I bumM to be the slave of men! I stood and saw the morning light, A standard swaying far and free;
And loy'd it like the conquering flight Of angels floating wide and bright, Above the stars above the fight Where nations warr'd for liberty! And thought I heard the battle cry Of trumpets in the hollow sky! I sailed upon the dark blue deep, And shouted to the eagle soaring;
And hung me from the rocking steep, When all but spirits were asleep, And Oh! my very soul would leap, To hear lhe gallant waters roaring; For every sound and shape of strife To me was but a breath of life! But I am strangely alter'd now I love no more the bugle's voice The rushing wave the plunging prow The mountain with its clouded brow The thunder when the blue skies bow And all the sons of God rejoice! I love to dream of tears and sighs, And shadowy hair, and half shut eyes !
States. Considering the enormous claims set up by the present Chief Magistrate to vest in himself the whole functions of the general government, and the undisguised attempt to appoint his successor through the abuse of the patronage and power entrusted in his hands, we are alarmed for the safety of our republican institutions. The Journal and Sentinel, then, will be decided in its opposition to the candidate for the succession brought forward under these auspices, and who h3S publicly announced his intention, if elected, of "treading in the footsteps'" of the present executive, and carrying out "the measures so gloriously begun." Believing that a formidable combination of the office holders of the general government is already effected, to usurp power from the hands of the people, and, from being the servants of the people, to constitute themselves their masters, in order to their own permanent establishment in office, we shall oppose this office holders' party and their candidates for the presidency and vice presidency, viz; Martin Van Buren and Richard M. Johnson, nominated by their convention lately assembled in Baltimore. On the value to the public of an independent tress, conducted on the principles herein set forth, it is unnecessary to dilate. Flavin nothing to expect from the general or state government, it is to our fellow citizens throughout the state, and generally, we must look for patronage. Relying on their patriotism, as well as their knowledge that this (or any other) paper can be effective, in a career of usefulness, only as it is adequately sustained, we submit our views to the consideration of an intelligent public. The Journal and Sentinel is published once a week generally, and semi-weekly during the session of the state legislature, on a lanre sheet, (fine paper and new and clear type ) at two dollars and fifty cents per annum! in advance, or three dollars at the end of the year. The price for the session only, is one dollar in advance. Columbus, October, 1835.

AUTUMN, When Autumn's yellow lustre gilds the world, And tempts the sickled swain into the field, Seiz'd by the general joy, his heart distends With gentle throes; and, through the tepid gleams Deep musing, then he best exerts his song. E'en winter wild, to him is full of bliss. The mighty tempest, and the hoary waste, Abrupt and deep, stretclfd o'er the buried earth.
Awake to solemn thought. At night the skies,
Disclos'd and kindled by refining frost, Pour every lustre on th' exalted eye. A friend, a book, the stealing hours secure, And mark them down for wisdom. With swift wing O'er land and sea imagination roams; Or trutli, divinely breaking on his mind, Elates his being,' and unfolds his powers; Or in his breast heroic virtue burns. The touch of kindred too and love he feels. The modest eye, whose beams on his alone Ecstatic shine; the little strong embrace Of prattling children, Iwin'd around his neck, And emulous to please him, calling forth The fond parental soul. Nor purpose gay, Amusement, dance, or song, he sternly scorns ; For happiness and true philosophy Are of the social still, and smiling kind. This is the life which those who fret in guilt, And guilty cities, never knew; the life, Led by primeval ages, uncorrupl.

From the Boston Gazette, of Sept. 21. DEPARTURE OF MISSIONARIES. An immense multitude, consisting probably of several thousand people, two thirds of whom were ladies, assembled yesterday at Sargent's wharf for the purpose of witnessingthe departure of the fine ship Louvre, captain Brown, for the East Indies, which carried out twenty-one missionaries of the Baptist persuasion to disseminate the gospel of our blessed Redeemer among the heathen. We could not but remark the admirable order and punctuality with which every thing was conducted. The religious services were announced to commence at half past ten, a few minutes after which time the reverend Mr. Sharp, after a few appropriate remarks, read a hymn, which was sung to the excellent tune of Old Hundred, and with solemn effect by the whole assembled multitude. The reverend Mr . Jackson then addressed the throne of grace in an eloquent and impressive prayer of some ten minutes duration, after which, the numerous friends of the departing missionaries having, in the mean time, shaken hands, and given ihem an affectionate farewell, precisely at eleven o'clock the ship cast off from the wharf, and loosened her canvass lo lhe propitious breeze. Just at this moment the reverend Mr. Sutton addressed a few pertinent remarks to the remaining multitude from the main chains of the sh?p stating that they were on the eve of departure from their native land on a mission of religion and love among the heathen, and exhorting those that remained behind to keep a watchful eye to the welfare of this Christian community. It was certainly a most inieresting spectacle, and the cheerful "yo heave O" of the well trained crew, as they sheeted home the topsails, conduced not a little to the interest of
the occasion. We wish them "God speed"
with all our hearts, and a safe return to twir

AGRICULTURAL TASTE, We have long regretted the low standard of agricultural taste in this country, and admired that displayed in England and the European continent generally. We intend
ed in this number to have given our readers our views on this subject, but the following graphic sketch of English taste, fromthe let
ters of Mr. Brooks, is better than any description we could give, never having had the
pleasure to witness it. The importance of
agricultural and architectural taste to the farmer, is deplorably underrated. Nothing
contributes so much to the beauty of a farm, village, or city, as the products of a cor
rect and judicious taste, lhe contrast be tween England and America in this respect, is striking. Mr. Brooks has drawn one side of the picture, and let the reader draw, not in imagination, but from actual observation, the other, and he can not avoid being delighted with one and distrusted with the other. We
hope ere long to see more attention paid this subject in this country. Silk Culturist. "The peculiar charm of English scenery in an American eye is its cultivation. What we dislike most, an Englishman loves most. The trees which we hew down with barbarrous recklessness he plants with assiduous care. Forests that are bores to us, are mines ofgoldtohim. With just as much avidity as we (of the north) seek to build on the road, he seeks to build from it. As we of the cities dislike country life, so he loves it. As we cluster together in villages, so he avoids them. As we seek the heart of a town, he abhors it. These facts, and the possession of landed properly in a few and noble hands, leads to some remarkable differences in the two countries. Hence, though we may say in America, with'a semblance of truth, that "God made the country and man made the town," we can not say it here with
any truth at all. Man here has had as mucn to do with making the country as making the town. Wealth seeks it, and lavishes there its possessions. The chief ambition of almost every merchant is to have his country seat. One is quite necessary to a nobleman's rank. Thus even the humblest farmer catches this most delightful taste. His cottage is often covered all over with flowers. The hedges are often beautifully trimmed about it. Fine walks are laid out. All that is unpleasant in farming life is concealed as much as possible from public view and it would be a disgrace for a farmer here to have such front doors and such public barn yards as two thirds of our farmers have. By the way, this is important, and the reformer who will reform, will do great service to his neighborsimportant, I say, for such a taste has more influence upon the character of a people lhan many suspect. Hence, too, there is a love for the country all over England and with it there is taste for, and an appreciation of, cultivated scenery of landscape that we have not. The gentleman seeks for his house a prospect as well as a foundation. The mountain and the little lake he always looks for when he can. A rivulet that we would think nothing of, I have often seen made every thing that was beautiful. The cliff that would be wild forever with us, is often adorned with walks, and flowers, and hedges. Even the little cascade is fashioned and shaped to make it prettier than it is. Wealth luxuriates in such a taste. The poor here are not driven as with us into the suburbs of towns, for wealth seeks the suburbs, there to build its walks and its gardens, and tbe heart of the town is left for the poor. Let then the setting sun, or the mid-day sun, as softened and mellowed by the over-hanging cloud of an English sky, fall upon a landscape thus ever kept verdant and tbu3 richly cultivated an Amercan can hardly believo that he sees aught else than a mighty picture. Fancy struggles hard with fact. We enjoy such things more than any other people when we see them here, because onr country is so new, and the contrast so great. What an ecstacy of delight, then, an Englishman must feel, rocked and cradled in a scene so quiet, so soothing, so mild when taken from his little rivulets and brooks that he calls rivers his hills that lie calls mountains, and fells and pipes that he calls lakes and loches his woods and parks that he calls forests his cascadesand bubbles.that he misnames waleiiaus -what depth of emotion he musl taveIn, going from home, he sees what is -arivc J, lakefa mountain, a fall of water. The father of wate, or the roar of Niagara, are wonders to U which we can hardly share with hnn.
