From the Piiladelihla Monthly Magazine. STANZAS. There's a time of life how soon 'tis gone ! When all is bright wc look upon, And fancy's pencil gives a hue Of loveliness to every view. ' Tis then with fondness we rely On friendship's smile confidingly, And laugh to scorn whoe'er shall say That faith like ours shall feel decay. 'Tis then that love, with mild control, Wreathes her soft fetters on the soul, Tinging with her roseate glow The joycus moments as they flow. And brightning all with a heavenly beam, Tis life seems one enchanted dream. There's a time of life how soon 'tis here, VV hen all the world looks lorn and drear, And every picture fancy drew Has vanished fleetly from our v'-.-w ; 'Tis then we learn that friensh'ip's smile Is often false and full of guile, Oft deceitful oft a lie A mantle for hipocrisy That 'tis not proof against decay, That time will wither it away. 'Tis then we learn that beauty's bloom Like flowers that blossom on the tomb, Lovely though it be, can hide A heart of sordidness and pride : That love's, like friendship's golden ray, Will soon grow dim and fade awav. S. G. F. Selected from a late Foreign Journal. Dame fortune is a fickle gipsey, And always blind, and often tipsy. Sometimes, for years and years together, She'll bless you with the sunniest weather, Bestowing honor, pudding, pence. You can't imagine why or whence ; Tlifu in a moment presto, pass! Your joys are withered like the grass ; You find your constitution vanish Almost as quickly as the Spanish ; 1 he murrain spoils your Hocks and fleeces, 1 he Jry-rot pulls your house to pieces, Your- garden raises only weeds. Your agent steals your title-deeds. Your h inker's failure stuns thecitv, Youi father's will makes Sugdcu witty, Yo'ir d rughter.m her beamy 's bloom Gov, ff to Gretna with the groom, And you good man, are left alone, To hrmle with the gout and static from the ( Boaicn) Working-Men's Advo cate. v c insert the following;, from an agcd correspondent, without deeming our impartiality or independence, in re latioo to the presidency, or relative to the condition of defunct or existing po litica! panics, to be all involved by the mere act of giving it publicity We are. neither for not against any candi date tor the chief magistracy, now be v j fote the people: nor shall we ever sup poft a man lor that station who is not likely to make the principles of the Waking-men his chief iueami guide The article below appeats to embiacc a tolcably fait narrative, though somewhat defective in arrangement, of the principal events which have led to the pie&rm state of political confusion in this country HE COLLECTION S. Of all rivalries, those spinning from the display oi wealth and appeatance seem to be th most jealous We sometimes hear ol a man's even comcsining suicide, because he is not able to keep his coach ; but we seldom hear ol an instance of self murder in this country, proceeding from the inability to pr. cure food. Between twenty and thirty years ago, TTr.en the northei n merchants enjoyed a profitable commerce, growing out of the theii unnatural state of things caused by hc wars of the French revolution, the southern nabobs were accused of being jealous of the prosperity of our merchd!is the government then being in tin hnds of Jefferson and Madison, and cal'-rl republican; both of whom were in favor of encouraging American manufactures to supply our own wants, and ol suffering an embargo rather than hazarding a war. But the northern mcrchants, who stood at the head of the fe deral party, so called, said no we prefer to recede from the Union, rather than adopt the Chinese policy of manufacturing for ourselves this wiil give no employment for our ships -, besides, we ccorn to be governed by slave holders, and by representatives based on slave population. Moreover they were opposed to the encouragement of manufac turcs while they were in the hands o re publican proprietors of spinning jen nics, who themselves worked on them I bi licve there was a majority of the - v-wmj;, taSl vvno votcu a gainst every tariff lor the protection of

our manutactures while they were iniment. If, for instance, the Appleton the hands of republican owners, viz:! factory cf ten thousand spirdle e:e through the late war, and until 1824 orj taken down, and the machinery divided 182S. when nearly all the little republi-. into twentv parts, and put into as many car cetablishments got broken down bv ; factories in as many dim rent towns the foreign competition, and their property j factories to be worked by the ptoprie feli into the hands of the aristocracy j tors themselves this would seem some Many rich incorporations had become 1 ti.intr like an American system, such as

established, and large lactones were built Waltham, Lowell, Somers worth, Dover, Saco, Ware, Canton, and other pl iers It was sohii reported, th t these s'abrishm, ots made large dividends (iut much Briush capital was put into

them, as well as many Englishmen cm '

ployed therein ; that some of them were governed after the English mode the workmen being called together by sound of bell, locked into a strong enclosure like state's prison convicts, and when let out to vote for public serrants, told to vote with coloured tickets, or in plain Lnglish do as they were bid or be discharged and nine pence per week deducted lrom the wages of the girls, towards the support of the church. About the year I824, the friends of Henry Clay seemed desirous to elevate him to the presidency, on account of his being a strong advocate of the Ameri can system ; but the friends of J. Adams pronounced him an immoral man, stating that he spent his nights at the gaming table, and in brothels, in defiance of the laws of God and man wherefore he w. s not to be trusted. On the other hand, Clay denounced Adams as an a postate federalist, and an enemy to the west ; hinting that he would at a proper tima make some disclosures respecting the transactions at Ghentr and abort the navigation of the Mississippi But he did not get a sufficient number of votes to be returned to the house of representatives as one of their three candidates for the presidency ; and George Kremet asserted that Clay St his friends had agreed to make Adarns president, while the latter was to make Clay secretary ol state and of heir apparent. The friends of Jackson alledged that there was cor ruption in the matter, and that Clay had shaken hands over the mountains with the aristocracy of New-England, by ad vancing to the presidency one whom he had denounced as an apostate federalist, and an enemy to the west. In 1 827, Matthew Carey, Hczekiah Niles, and others, triends ol the Atneri can system, called a convention at liarrisburg for the purpose of considering the best mode ol putting that system into operation When the preliminary meeting for the choice of delegates to this convention was holden at the state house in Boston, 1 was surprised to see there a numher of old federalists, who had always been against the policy ot protecting home industry, and I concluded that they warned to get votes, and political weight; andthat these new con verts to the American system were desi rous of making it a hobby whereon their favorite might ride into power, but they failtd in their object, by about one hall tariff and the other hall anti-tariff votes. The3e lords t.f the spinning jenny have taken the most obnoxious partoi the British manufacturing system, ant engrafted it upon the American system They seem to be persuading Clay, that, if he will make the west believe this to be the true American system, they will make him the next president, by uniting the aristocracy ol the east, though an unnatutal alliance, with the democracy of the west. About the year 1826, I nomas Jeffet son, observing the operation ot things and LMrningthat ihe smalt mnnufactut es were btoken down, by Bntish competi tion and rich corporations with (if te ports be true) Biilish capital, wrote tt his friend governor Giles. th3t the federalists now look forward to a splendid consolidated government, four ded on ai aristocracy ot banking insti ulions ant uionicd incorporations, under the guise and cloak ot then faori?e branch - o manufactuies, commerce and navigation riding and ruling over the plundered ploughmen and beggared yeomanry this would be to them the ue.w best blessing to monarchy, their first aim, and perhaps a stepping stone to it." This warning from Jefferson seemed to alarm the jealousy of the slave-holding nabobs of the south ; who then began to talk about state rights, and the limited power of congress, as much as Massachusetts did during the embargo and war. The lords of the spinning jennies dug a pit for their neighbors, but fell into it themselves: for it is supposed that nearly all the capital paid into the following incorpotated manufacturing companies, is sunk or lost, viz. Canton, three hundred thousand dollars; Saco, four hundred thousand ; Ware, five hundred thousand; Dover, two millions ; Somersworth, two millions making more than five millions of dollars. Besides, many cthets, are in a losing way; the richest and best conducted large incor poratcd factories make but mean dividends, and cannot sell their stock at par. What is more discouraging still, the proprietors ot spinntng-jcnnies wmj yvork therron t ,rmplvi. nr,, nMP ,ft

This sta has been chosen, because it presents the greatest advantages to facilitate the researches uf the botanical student the country around it abounding with every varietv cf medical

Nor if. tnis truth more cleat ly exhibited, than the. fact that vegetable substances alone, arc void of danger, and powerfully efficient when administered : a preference to the success of our New-York infirmary, and the success of ignorant botanical physicians, proves this fact.
