The dew-drop's desire, I claim for my sire, Then say why with thee, I'm contrasted? Said the "thorn I am here, To remind thee my dear. That beauty, in time must be blasted ! I am here to declare.

seems.that the Federalists, who are raising their crests in Kcntuc ky, have adopted a new method of recruiting the ranks ot their favorite John Q, Adams. It was said of his father, that lie could raise an army of officers, but no soldiers. During the late Presi dential campaign in this state his

son had not popularity enough to j

Kentucky stood against Mr Adams in the late contest, in undivided might, not only rejecting him as her first man, but postponing him as the very last. Clay, Jackson, and Crawford, all indeed who were

ever considered as rivals for the presidential honor, were not only

each individually preferred before him, but all were set in contrast
