The Firs tlcaf of Autumn. BY MBS. 6EBA SMITH. I see thee fall, thou quivering leaf .Of faint and yellow hue, The first to led the autumn winds, That blighting, o’er thee blew— Slow-parted from the rocking branch, I see thee floating by, To brave, all desolate and lone, The btcalc autumnal eky.

Kendall's Expositor. To the People of the United States,/

Alas! the first, the yellow leaf— How sadly falls it there, To rustic on the crisped grass, With every chilly air! It tells of those that soon mast drop, All wither’d, from the tree, And it hath wak’d a sadden’d chord in deathless memory.

The unders'gned proposes, as a future occupation,to publish, semi-monthly, a cheap newspaper. in be called KENDALL'S EXPOSITOR. Should the Administration bo sustained in the present conflict, as Ins faith in the people persuades him to believe, there is still much to be do.ic to secure the advancement and perpetuity of pure principles in our Government; and if per chance it shall be defeated, there will be more occasion for all honest eflorts to prevent the mischiefs apprehended from the men who may come into power. To these objects lire undersigned has determined to devote the remnant of his life; and he can think of no means through which he can act so efficiently, as a newspaper cheap enough to be within the reach of every man who is able to read. Raised to labor on a farm, ho has never ceased to cherish the interiate ofthosc who work for a living; and, {mowing them to bo the most virtuous and deserving portion of society, one of the most cherished desires of his heart is to see them aroused to the importance of giving mure of their reading, their thoughts, and their time, to the affairs ot Government. Vet, not to. I hem exclusively, but also to all other men, who do not seek to obtain, through tho law’s, advantages over their fellow men, he will address himself in the proposed publication. Tho main objects noticed in this paper will Le as follows, viz: 1. Suffrage is tho basis of free government, lie that cheats at elections is guilty oflhc worst kind of treason, and should be punished as a traitor. He who gives utterance to a falsehood, for the purpose of influencing a voter, is but little better. To denounce cheating, bribery, and falsehood, when detected, and suggest effective preventives, will bo n leading object of tho pro-, posed paper. In this the undersigned docs not intend to be any respecter of parties; fur the man who resorts to such means for the accomplishment of political cuds, whatever he may call himself, is no Democrat, and is an:enemy to the people. 2. Abuses of privilege and corruption have made much progress in the legislative department of our Government, and have occasionally shown themselves in other departments. These, as far as known, will be denounced, by whatever party they may be practised, . In every abuse of privilege, or undue exercise of power, the individual committing it strikes allow at public virtue, tbo only baling bacia of free institutions. 3. The principles of modern banking, and the manner in which banks and public debts operate upon the labor; trade, and properly of the community. are not well understood. One of the chief objects of this piper will be, by facts and illustratiops, to nuke these mailers plain to all who will retd and discuss the proposed remedies for existing evils. This will involve an exposition of the nature and uses of money, together with a history of the origin,progress, and effects of paper money in Europe and America. To these wilt be added, a notice of all new discoveries and inventions which promise to be useful !° mankind, as also of facts, experiments, and improvements which may be instructive to the farmer and mcchioic; a summary uf news, foreign and domestic, carefully complied, constituting an accurate history of paysing events; abstracts of important public documents, and miscellaneous matter, selected and original, instructive and entertaining. In fine, the object is to furnish a newspaper which will present to the fanner, planter, mechanic, merchant, and all other readers, the true interests of those who lire by the cultivation of the soil and other laborious occupations involving the interests of all useful trade, and incite them always to regard those interests, in voting for public agents, to inculcate that honesty and truth thould be the guide of every man in public as well as private life; that a sacred regard for the rights of property, as well as personal rights, is essential to tho happiness of man in a state of society; that it is only through a fair ballot that wc should look for the correction of existing evils, and the prevention of those we fear; and that a true Democrat should never think of revolution by force until lie finds himself deprived of the right of suffrage, or tho voice of (he majority is persevcringly stifled by fraud or force at the polls. Though thoroughly Democratic in principle, this paper will not be made the vehicle of ordinary electioneering matter, nor will it engage in or admit mere personalcuntrovcrsies. It will not conceal its preferences for men or parties; but will seek to influence results only by appeals to reason, and through the instrumentality of fact and argument. That a true Democrat ought never to d.spair, is the first article in the undersigned’s political creed, Man is capable of indefinite improvement in knowledge and virtue. These are tho bases of Democracy. If wc know that he cannot reach perfection, we know also that he may become better than he is. Hops and faith aro tho motives of tho Christian teacher. They should bo the stay and stimulus of the Democrat. With him they arts strengthened by knowledge; for he sees and .footer that man is advancing; and may be made to advance more rapidly, in all those acquirements which enable him to govern himself. If arrested by force or fraud to-day, he will resume his onward march tomorrow. By degrees, the groat mass of men are becoming amtliar with their rights and conscious of their power; they may become so well informed that none will attempt to deceive them, and so determined, that none will dare to assail them by force. To aid in tho improvement of man is the highest remaining ambition of the undersigned. Ho has seen much of the world, has had some experience in public affairs, has witnessed much human depravity, suffered some wrong, and met with much to discourage exertions for tho good of hia country and his race; but never for a moment has he lost bis faith in man’s high destiny, or relaxed hfs determination to contribute to hia advancement under all discourage men Is. If he shall reap no personal advantage from thiscoursc, beyond a consciousness of doing his duty, bis

Thou eddying leaf, away, away, There’s sorrow in thy .hue; Thou sound’et the foci! of tunny hours. Of buds and liquid dew— And thou dost tell how from the heart The blooms of hope decay; How each ono lingers, loth to pari, Till all arc swept away.

Rcvolutiosart Ikcident.—During the Revolutionary war, I wo brothers, from one of the eastern ports, were commanders of privatms; they cruised together, and were eminently successful, doing great damage to the enemy and making 1 money for themselves. One evening being in the latitude of tiie stun Is of Xanlnckcl, but many miles to Hie eastward of t lie in, they espied a targe Uriliali vessel, having the appear* ante of a merchantman, and made towards her; but to ibeir astonishment, found her to be a frigate in disguise. A very high breexo prevailing, they hauled off in different directions. ' One only .-could be pursued, and the frigate gained rapidly'upon him. Finding he could not run away,.the commanding officer had resource to stratagem* On a sudden he hauled down every sail, sad all hands were employed with ttiiittg pofrs, as if shoving his vessel off a batik! The people on hoard iho frigate amazed at ihe tupposed danger they had run, and to save themselves from being grounded: immediately clawed off and left the more knowing Yankee “to make himself scarce,” as soon os night rendered it prudent for him to hoist sail in a sea two hundred fathoms deep!

Wisconsin lauica.—The editor of the St. Louis Evening Gazette says that ladies of Wisconsin dance barefooted. Kow whether this helms or false wo can't say; bu: it is certainly very ungallanl on bis part to publish such a matter. The editor of the Pennant stands forth the champion of the fair ones, and thus hits off his neighbor of the Gazette. After denying in foe-foe, the-osaenion-, be says—“ibo facts of the caae are, that the editor, on & 'ilatistical excursion,’ happened to fall in with a Wolverine ball, and asking a very delicate young lady of six feet two in her stockings the honor ofherforthe set, got his' cars boxed for his paint, and forthwith concocted tbs above sliuderocs story as a means of revenge. We hope this explanation will prove satisfactory, as the motive of the editor as they say upin them diggings, ‘atfeksout about a feci!’ 1 '
