The dew drops in the vailies weep, Compassion guides the way And bids eaHi floweret cease to weep, Nor longer dora-ant lay.

She seems an Angel lately flown From Her-veD, to grace this earthly zone, And bless again my sight! AVhen Deli 1 smiles, the infant F.ove? Delighted leave their verdant grove?, To weave ao eglantine: In peerless beauty she apj.-ears, Her voice is music to my ears, Her charms arc all divine! Upon the return of early morn, Pew drop each valley doth adorn, Hi ;her I oft rep: ir: The nymphs that gambol on the green, Proclaim her as tht ir matchless queen, Vor she is passing lair! When Delia smites, the Muses p'av, The Graces seem m'.re young audgav, Such pleasure she imparts! Magic is on her honied lip?, There, Tepid oft his nectar sips, And strives to conquer hearts.

We never can forget our oppressors of a former age they were the titled gentry ofEnglar.d, who caused the greatest deluge of blood that ever flowed from human veins! Rut after a most arduous struggle for freedom we conquered did we engage in that war to obtain titles? No, it was rather to abolish them forever, and to erect the sacred fane of Liberty o the foundations of Virtue and true Honor! They knew that Liberty was an illusion, unless her votaries guarded her against all encroachments upon hcrperogatives.

Perhaps, it is not generally known, that the title of" Enquire" or iginated with knight errantry, a kind of foolish equestrian or der, now extinct; the term is, therefore. synonymous with the English phrase 4 io5.'cr' (or "0.?rcr." as the Coclinies spell if.)

The delineation is a true one. From the foregoing facts, the reader wil form an idea of the etTects of Ambition or the mind, and its general tendency to cor rupt the heart, when we lack suflicient en ergv to withstand its allurements. Man is instinctively the child of Fancy; he launches !h's frail bark, as an adventurer on an un certain ocean of glory, and must, as a natural consequence, have some enemies, and numerous obstacle to surmount; he ap proaches the Scylla and Chary bd is of Envy and Jealousy if not borne, on by an energetic spirit, to those halcyon shores, w hich forebode no danger, his condition is hopeless, Ths Politician may well be compared to a Chamelion like that singular little animal, he changes his colour, or more properly speaking, his sentiments, without considering the consequences that follow the change. He invariably lays snares, like the artfal spider, weaving its "intenuated web, to entrap the unwary fly, and he too often succeeds The office hunter is a complete paradox in the scu'e of humanity, he is usually wealthy, or theson of wealthy parents, wh can boast as noble a geneology as any of their compeers belonging to the "fast anchored isle." Possessed of every qualification, which "leads to bewilder and dazzles to blind," he throws aside his aristocratic cloak, and appears in the unas suming garb of a simple rusticated Republican, soliciting votes as n boon of friend ship, or as a fealty, not unlike that bestowed by British mercenaries on a superior lord. He hesjins his electioneerinu career with nn assumed familiarity, attending at the houses of poor voters, caressing their children, giving alms by means of presents, and pretending to cherish respect for people whom be despises, and who he would kick out of his presence at the close of the election. Fortified by deceit, asid a sulliciency of impudence, he mounts a stump, and informs the gaping multitude that he 1 t 1 ' 1 1 a.is conuesceneen to oecome a candidate, solicits their SMiF'aes, and tells them about his patriotism, and patriotic views. Depend : u on u.sucri a m;:n is ambitious lieseeUs Ins own aggrandizement, and if elected, will act directly opposite to his previous professions. The m-in w hose soul iss eleva ted by the pride of birth and family, can never become a aood citizen, much less a faithful Representative of the People. All men are equal in our government the poor have the same rights to contend for as the rich, even if they cannot boast of a foreign ancestry. Party principles, iike sectarian dogmas, have destroyed all confidence in opinion--every man maintaining his own I , , t - . ct .1 absurd doctrines at the expense of I ruth 1 n-.i 1 i -,- and Reason.
