The editor of the IUoomintoti Post, says: "in accordance w.th raris C.

So ends the matter ends the joke, and thus ends .Mr. Dunning's "independence." The same ppper remarks that Doct. Davis had written letters to Iibomitigton stating that John Cwing was a candidate for Congress. In this as in many oilier tilings, the doctor is a little too fast.

Some of my readers may perhaps think the old man can have nothing more to say upon the. subject of impudence and assurance, a3 Leing the surest road to advancement now-a-days; but let him tell them, if they think so, they are mistaken; but lie will bring the subject to a close, now, in a few wordi, Mter say ing a little upon the most delicate part of it. What has been already ssid may be mad 3 applicable to most of ihe affairs of common me, anu ne nas no aouot, that some, in their "mind's eye," have thought of some whom "the shoe would fit." Let the old man say to such, that, in his young days, he used to hear, and much used too, a pert saying, that is qui to overlooked with some, w hich was "look a: home!." Take care, my dear readers; while you are fit ting a cap on the head ot your neighbor, 1I1 at some dear friend, may be, for ought you know, doing the same kind of ser vice for you. Before you crv: "my next neighbor's .house is 011 tire,"'vou should ascertain whether or not vour own is safe. Pour comble de lonheur is ignorance of our own trailties and miner ecuon. (as asserted by some) we may still continue to enjoy with complacency, that love of eit which leads us to notice the imperfec tions ot our friends, while we thank Dame Fortune, that it is not thus and so witfi our perfect selves. The love of selt is a part ot our nature, and if it is ttonded with nobleness of soul, it will lace its possessor above doing an act, that will be derogatory to the character t a man of honor. The reverso I will leave my readers to taney 1 r theinstlves, while I conclude my su! ject. Iu social life, as in professional, a uni versal preference is given to the man who lays the largest claims upon public attention". In private life, who is ho that ias the best of the argument? Not the icst informed man, not the man of the clearest ideas; but he who talks the loudest, and Rsser's the most vehemently his own capability to decide. Who, again, is most commonly the undisputed leader if fashion? Not the man of the most re fined taste, not the best dresser, the most Jcgans format ion spectator, the posses sor of the handsomest establishment, and the most gentlemanly in his habits and manners, assuredly not; on the contrary, 3 most presuming coxcomb, the most extravagantly absurd in all his aours, the man w ho has voted himself into the chair of leadership, from an invincible conceit in his own superiority: But if self-conceit fareth thus wed in the ntercourse between man and man, much more thrieveth it in our intercourse with tie fair sex. 'Faint heart," saith the pro verb, 'never won a fair lady,' and the proerb saith perfecly true to all intents 4.- purv - it 1 ai-i poses. Aever yet had modesty the slight est chance to obtain a hearing from maid, widow, or wife. It is the most unsalable article in the matrimonial market; and he who keeps it 011 hand will "break up" ot a lady s heart, but his own hopes, cf any thing else than a life cf "single blesedness." An easv self-possession. is more in favor of a man's matrimonial speculations, than an irreproachable pair of whisers. And here I beg my readers not to e betrayed into thinking lightly of the sex, on the ground of their judgements :i this particular. Bashfulness is well 1 1 11 enough in its place, and generally 13 a mere matter cf conscience. A pretty fellow is pretty sure to be aware of the fct; and pretty generally knows his powers of pleasing the fair, and few are bashful in their addresses who do not more than suspect, or are indeed iittle better than vile impostors.

1 lir.vc frequently seen thai the impudent m3n, has more often succeeded over the man of merit than otherwise. While the modest man was most patiientlv besieging the garrison, up marches impudence cc summons a surrender, with a flourish,

and lo! he is triumphant he could u?f ( '3ars mof.o w ilh perfect impunity ,vcni, VI I, I'h l. One great advantage w!iic!i srlf conceit possesses over modest merit, in affairs of the heart, i?, that the frmrr never loses opportunitv for its claims. - Presumption has danced inanv sets and waltzed over acres of floor, btfore niodectv could muster courage to ac.k the ladv to stand up. Presumption, too, is not nice, in ascerjaming t,ie true amount ol encouragement that should justify a proposal. By this, it often taken the fair one by surprise, and a consent extorted hefore the lady has time to think, what she is doing. These advantages, the old man has found, aro not always on one side; and it is time I began to show, that a little modest assurance stands the ladv in good stead, and, very frequently promotes her to the holy state over the heads uf more deserving, but more retiring candidates. It does happen, sometimes, that she is the first to J erceive her own possession of "every qualry for making the married state happy," and that it lies very much in her own hands, to make'the man of her choice believe the same thing. In such cases, it would be a grievous sin to put the candle under a bushel. Nay, it has happened, in my own knowledge, that to wait for a proposal would be, to wait for a tiling thai never woulu happen; while, a little skillful maneuvering, and a confident anticipation of the ceremony has led her directly into tlie haven of her wishes. The odds are however, in this particular, vastly on the side of male selfsufficiency. The wisest can but wonder at the nian's assurance; and "wonder is involuntary praise;" but in the present state of society, the women are so pressed bv circumstances, that throw dilliculiies in the way of their matrimonial speculations, that they have little leisure for investigating the man's pretentions very accurately, and too often disposed to take "a pig in a poke," rather than miss a cliai.ee which mitrht not again occur. r It may bo urged against the theory, which I have la d do wn in the three last numbers of Solon, that the man of presumption is not alwavs ignorant of his own demerits True, vet men sometimes set themselves up with the best success as cnarletans, with a tmi Knowledge ot their incapacity, and rely entirely for success upon the gullibility of tho public. 1 n As far as ignorance of mere matter of fact goes, this may be something near the truth! the board of Trustees aro well aware they are not the State Legislature; and the empirical physician, when attending a difficult case, may have some misgivings as to his proficiency but, beyond this, the charletan l as a liberal conceit of his own superiority, and fancies himself more cunning in his own apprehension, wiser -than tho rest of mankind. At alt events, none succeed in their impostures. who are not themselves pursualed of their own excellence. In this case, it is trulv possunt quia passe videnter,. and where tho conviction is wanting, the boldest adventurer is apt to fail, w'hen taken unawares. But the truly self satisfied are not to be taken at a disadvantage They are clothed in proof and the consequence is, that, inapprehen sive stupidity, is seen in the highest sta tions in our country. It is found presidins over learned societies, giving tone to the beau momlc, riding in carriages, setting on' benches of justice, and better still, "clothed in purple and fine linen, an faring sumptuously every day," and that 13 not a small matter these limes.

VOCAL D1USIC, ir r . .. . .11 1. oik. iuiiik:;; 1 wouiu oe err leave to occupy a small space in your columns, for the insertion of a few thoughts, sugirested by the close o.f our Singing School, and the departure of Professor 'I hos. C. Hoi voke. We have for some time past had the piivilege and the pleasure of frequently meeting together for the object of mutual and self improvement in the science of music. A privilege and n pleasure it has indeed been, and I trust our meetings have not been in vain. We have acquired a knowledge of the rudiments and principles of music, and made considera ble improvement m us practice. It may possibly seem to some, that we have not made any great progress. But we should not underrate our attainments and ice should recollect that it takes time and study to 7tike a musician of any kind. Like all other things, it requires labor as well as time; and, sir, it is a fact worthy of remirk, and a fact, too, which we cannot too strongly impress upon our minds, that there is nothing in this world, whether it be the acquirement of know ledge the improvement of our intellectual faculties or the possession of honors or pleasures which can be obtained without labor, without effort, and without toil. Difficulties are common in this difficult world. "Difficulties beset the path of science the path of every honorable pur suit." Difficulties beset us in the study " of music. But we should not yield to them with unmanly indolence. "W hen a weary path we find it, we should persevere and never mind it." We should remember the science cf music cannot be acquired in an hour or a day. An Mr. Mason says in his work from which we have been siaging, "It must not be supposed that vocal music can be

taught in a few lessons, or iu a short time. It 19 at least as difficult to acquire s practical knowledge of singing, as it is to acquire a practical knowledge of Latin or Greek, and indeed more so; for, w hile one depends almost exclusively on intellectual applic-.tion and exertion, the other depends essentially on the cultivation of taste, and of those faculties which can only be gradually improved by an industrious, patient and pcrscw-ring course ol

practice. So savs Mr. Meson, an! he i? just about right: at anv rr:te. h' if any one. possesses ?. iiiiov, lei';'.! of thee matters. Let none, then, feci ' courngeu But let us feel that we have done veil for til" tune we have spent at it, and at the same um let us feci that we have barely made a commencement. Let us not, like many young nrm, for instance, "who have passed with credit and e ;l.-.t through col lege' thinking their studios completed and their minds fully stored sink clown in carelessness and obscurity. But let us think and feel that we have but commenced the science of music and time and practice alone will perfect it persevering, never minding difficulties, striving to make new acquisitions, and striving to become more perfect. It is practice that makes perfort. And above all, let us try to have a proper sense of tho real worth, tho intrinsic value, and the absolute importance of music. That it is worthv, valuable, and im portant, .Mr. Editor, you, at least, tcell know. There is no science which we should prize more highlv. There is no science more pleasing, none more improving, none more valuable. " 1 here is no recreation or pursuit among the many which claim our attention," which so well repays the time spent in the acquirement and which affords so much satisfaction in the possession as the science of music. "The possession cf the knowledge of the rudiments will enable almost any one to command a most delightful recreation at all leisure times." Millie h a heavenly science. It is higher, nobler, purer than the sciences of earth It is the gilt of heaven. It bears the impress of the heavenly world. We ought to prize it from this consideration, abstract from all others, "But it is pleasing and profitable, snd we ought to cuhiato it for its intrinsic value. Music has a powerful influence over the habits of those who delight in it. It softens the harsh dispositions of some, and manifestly operates on the passions of others. On young men in partienlar (remember young gentlemen,) its influence i3 frequently apparent in divesting them of the irascibility so frequently cherished, and rendering their deportment more courteous and pleasing. "There is a charm, a power that swaj i the breait. Bids every passion revel or be still Inspires with hope or all our cares dissolvesCan sootiie distraction, and almott despair. That power is music.'' The improvement in singing, Mr. Ed itor, is marked and decided. I his was evinced very clearlv on la-t Sabbath. The lessons given by Mr. Ilolyoke have been beneficial 3nd he is certainly well qualified to give instructions in vocal mu sic. I hope, Mr, Editor, that that which has been so favorably commenced, may not only continue, but increase, and that not only those who attended tho lessons, but our citiznes generally, and our different churches in particular, may feel a deep and growing interest in sacred music. our friend, Irenius.

A vender of lard and lard-lamps from Cincinnati and a shrewd Yankee shingle merchant, happened to bo fellow travellers upon a light draught 6teamer that was ploughing the Ohio. The Yankee's name was Good, and the lard man was a wit or wanted to be, as well as a poet. After a good deal of sparring between tho two, half in oka and half in earnest, and to the great amusement of the other passengers, the ard man fairly came out with a measured lampoon upon tho shingle merchant as follows: A man made out of shingles is Undoubtedly n man of wood. And if God can maks such a man. Assuredly the work is good. This produced oreat merriment all round the boat, and the Yankee was considered a used up man." He suddenly disap peared in his state room, and was not seen until the next dav. when to the aston ishment of every body he set the whole boat in a roar by coming out with the following: A man made out of shingles i A work of nature eomewhut hard. But aint it still a greater quiz To see a man made out of Lii. A pretty good day 'a work, that, for the Yankee!

Wabash and Erie Canal-Reception f tie Pioneers, On Monday last, our citizens united in welcoming the captain and crew of Packet boat Albert S. White, who had pioneered ihe way from Lafayette, to the eastern termination of the Wabash and Erie Canal at Toledo. In the navigation of this preat artificial river, there were to be sure, no great dangers to encounter, and but few difficulties to overcome; there were no rocks or shoals by which to test the fkill of the commander and the capability of the crew, no storms to

brave, nj foes to var::;ni-h. Lul this was the first arrival by a channel of communication which had occupied, our attention and embodied our feelings for years that hive past; it was the first pidctical, tangible evidence wc 'a id received of the realization of our hopes in the completion of the last link in t h it great chain of internal communication, which now binds together the countries bordering on the Guif of Mexico, and those that arc washed by the waters of .t. Lawrence. Though not possessed tf the requisite means in this comparatively newly settled region of the country to make a ijoreovis display un an occasion so interesting to our feelings, yet, the genuine enthusiasm which was manifested, the honest warmth with which we welcomed our visiters from the waters uf the Wabash, must have convinced them that nought but the means were wanting to have rendered their reception as imposing and magnificent, as it was cordial and sinceie. Between one and two o'clock F. M.t the citizens assembled by request of the committee of arrangements, consisting of captains Ludlow, Allen and '1 nomas, and proceeded to the mouth of Swan creek where the boat lay, and an invitation was tendered to the captain and crew to take dinner at the 'Ohio House.' Tho guests were then escorted by the citizens unJer tho direction of ('apt. Thomas, Marshal ef the day, to the Ohio House, were ample justice was done by those present to the variety 'of good things' provided for the occasion. After tho removal of the cloth, Hon. II. D. Mason President of tho Day , announced the order of the day in a few appropriite remarks, lie was followed by (Jeo. B, Way, Esq., the Orator of the Day. Appropriate ad dresses were also made by Mr. M. II. Tilden, Esq., Col. B. P. Stiekney, John Fitch, Esq., Al derman Walbridge and others. Thirteen guns were fired during the repast, and sentiment and song ond humour were also brought into requisi tion to vary the festivities of ihe occasion. About 5 o'clock P. M., the company rose and escorted their guests again to the boat; a signal gun was fired, and our friends departed on their wav amid the cheers of the assembled multitude carrying with them to our friends on the Wa bash, assurances of th respect and good will of their brethren on the Lake. The enthusiasm of our citizens had, however not yet been exhausted. A larga number again met together at the table of 'mine hist" of the 'Indiana House,' and until ten o'clock in speech and sentiment and eong, the night wore on. At the hour of ten. or not long thereafter, the company separated, each one bearing with him to his pillow the material for many a pleasant dream and the cheering conviction that the completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal, at once establishes the great commercial importance of his western home. lutedo Blade. What's in a Namo.1 Tho logic of the Poet, when he asked this question, would not apply very well to public anairi. It is true, unouestionablv that the rose by any other name would smell as sweet; and it ought to b true that the intrinsic meiit of any measure, however it may bo styled, should ensure its adoption. But it is not so. Men's pre judices are stronger than their judgments. Aye ,' said an old politician, reading a part of a speech delivered by Tioger Sherman, without knowing whose it was. -aye that's right; these are my sen timents.' 'Why,' replied a young lawyer, 'thatis the speech of as rank a Federalist as ever breathed.' Mercy on me responded the obi man; could I be so deceived? I felt4some how as if it were not all right!' 'Console yourself;' replied the lawyer, who liked his joke; 'it is his speech; bnt he was quoting just where you were reading from rs'at Macon.' And the old man went away glad that he had not been deceived, though in fact what he read was Roger Sherman's. And so it is with a large class of men in rur day. Call a measure Federal, and they denounce it; call it Democratic, whether it be Federal 01 not, and they support it: and they do this withoutjany reference to consistency, good sense, or the substance of the thing opposed or defended. Mr. Senator Smith, in his excellent pamphlet, dwells forcibly on this, and illustrates it in the following happy manner. He is speaking cf the use ot the names Federal and Federalist: rsames are all powerful in political contests Well do the leading modern Democrarts know the force and truth of this remark, hence they not only hold on to the respectable name of Dcm ocrat, but with one voice they stamp their oppo nents with the name of federalist, and their measures as Federal measures. Thet abandon and adopt measures themselves at pleasure; at one time for a national bank, at another against it; at one time tor the pet bank system, at another against it; at one time for the issue of State and bcal banks, at another aga m;t ell bar k paper at one time tor treasury notes, at another for snerin at one time tor distribution, at another acainst it - ' and still they are Democrats, and each measure xchue they support it, is democratic. But the moment they abandon it for some new eipedi ent, it becomes a vile Federal measure, and all who support it are Federalists. 1 iifre is something, then in a name, thoujh we hope the time is coming when men will hava the sense to look bevond it. Cin. Gaz. Emigration to Texas. Among the many projects for colonization which have been brought forward, it is interesting to learn that 24 German princes and noblemen have subscribed several hundred thousand florins to a joint slock fihe nares at o.uou norms, ) anu have purchased a large tract of land in the republic of Texas. Two of the share holders have been sent to Texas, who have concluded the purchase with the President of the republic, and are now on their way home. Count C 1, in Mayence, who was m the Austrian service, has tho whole direction of the affair. The humane object of this undertaking is to enable the share holders to procure for their subjects who emigrate a sure means of subsistance in America. Should the plan suc ceed, as it is to be expected, it will be enlarged by an increase of the funds. Magdeburg Journal, April 13.
