Mr. Editor The following verses were written at a time when misfortune's storms were howling with reveng jcful fury round their author; when i day-dawn was gloomy, and thepois-! the d ened arrow of persecution which were levelled at him by relentless foes, left little hope of brighter fortune. They poseess, in his opinion, but little to interest the readers of a public print; but at the request of some of his friends, who have accidentally seen them, lie offers them to you, to be disposed of in such manner as your judgment may approve. I hate the man who hows beneath The mde oppressor's frown ; 1 hate him, if misfortune's Ineath Could melt his spirit down, I hate the man whom malice bears, Whose heart with envy glows ; I hate him who, when danger glaies, Would stoop to ruthless foes. flnve the man A-ho firm can stand, When stonns are ia0ing round ; lve him, fin an ocean strand His greatness r. iil resound . I love the man whose noble soul Defies the tyiant's rod ; love ban for lie iconis conlroul Ej any hut his God. C. From the S;it. Fve. Post. THE VOICEOF Iir.lt I LOYE.

A VOICE FKOM THE AVABASII. FROM THE WABASH COURIER. Ia looking over our happy country in : Crtlfll 1 C cnnOVtrtr lH'n'tirtirtnt '.-v.. ! II I r ...... rule, the eye rests instinctively on the favored son of genius in the West, Far removed above the reach of infcl1 lUllUiCU dUUlC U1C,. I LttLil Ul l.ULI leclual competition, he ha for a quar fame and lienor, in manv a hard fought battle. The North and the South, with their phalanx of intellectual worth, found in the storms of debate at least one son of the West who dared to grapple with their chosen champions. On great national questions, he was never silent. In behalf of Southern America, while writhing under the blows of the hostile Spaniard, u-c heard him pour forth his soul; rre heard htm in behalf of bleedingGreecc, in conjunction with the Hercules of New-England, arouse the sympathy of the Nation; and though, in this latter case, Congress did net second his views, yet the American people approved his opinions and applauded his patriotism. On the Missouri Question the crisis of the Republic he was hailed by all as the umpire of the conflicting interests, the man whose well-known patriotism and integiity pointed him out as a fit arbiter of momentous and delicate questions. On the Tariff, the most humble citizen knows his labors have been incessant, lighting inch by inch its opponents, until, prostrating all opposition, it has become the cherished policy of sixteen States of this confederacy. Helving on the Mcaf iirrs connected with Ins legislative career, the friends of Henry Clay have presented him to the American People as a candidate for the Presidency. Although no man can boast of warmer personal friends than he, no statesman has ever been elevated to office in this country who owes less to personal considerations. There is a deep and thorough conviction pervading all classes of his supporters, that on his mic(ess depends, in a great future dentin v of cur bel it measure, t! le loved countrv. On every hand they see the fruits of misgovcrnment,brought on us by incompetent public servants; they see tiie most venerable institutions of the coun try assailed by the luthless hands of i party: they see the Presidential office! dishonored by an incumbent who, whatever be his virtues, stands before the' 'world notoriously unqualified by educa tion and habits; a lecble old man, witu his faculties prostrate, his passions; turbulant, surrounded bv designing and dangerous demagogues, bent on using him for the promotion of their own de signs; they sec men in power who pro mised to reform abuses, to curtail salaries, and reduce the public expendi ture, instead ot doing which, abuses o: the most ilagrant kind nave been toler ated, new offices created, and the expenditures of the country increased beyond all example, in a time of profound peace. It is in view of lhee facts that the National Republicans have put before 1 lift country the nnmr s c.f 11 f.vBY Clay, of Kentucky, and John Sun - . ! m gkant, of Pennsylvania, for the two highest offices in the gift of the People. AVith vigilance, constancy, union, and the blessing of Heaven, we hope to succeed. That this Administration is in a minority in the country, is no longer doubtful; and that, by a union ol those who arc opposed to it, must as inevitably go out of power at the end! of its present term, is equally certain. indeed the election of IS'28 waa any thing but a fair expression of public sentiment, a base counterfeit obtained by dishonorable means. Honest men are liable to be deceived by loud profes sions of political integrity. 1 his iact is every day realized, where men are credulous, generous, and confiding. The false representations of dema gogues, the reiteration 01 often refuted calumnies, and the false coloring given to Mr. Adams political pnnciplcs,were the weapons wielded by our opponents at the last election. They wielded them with effect, they gained a momentary triumph over long-tried and faithful public servants, and, wc fear it may prove, over the blood-bought liberties of the People.
