. jroa THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. SOUR GRAPES. What 4 host ofgrumbling malcontents do X»e ti id in'every different faculty and sect in life ! The discarded st.atesm in, consider ering the corruption of tne ti nes, would not have any thing to do m the id uininistration of alVairs, for all the world. The cashiered lieutenant, disgu*t.ea with military usage, •olemnly declne* a re-appointment—he could not **•> persuaded to accept even a captaincy, .1 it were to save his country; and. so spunky has he grown, that he would deter his comrades from taKing the coin-' maud, if he could eff-ct it surreptitiously •The long self nominated candidate for public favour, convinced that he could not obtain a vote—in the last nick of time, positively withdraws his nam* orn the list of compe titors—protesting at last, that he has had enough of nuidic stations; and thatonhisi own account, he must be permitted to waive | the proffered honor, and thus divest himself j of an official incumbrance, which he has! In ig been anxious to resign. The frivo-i lous knight, too,who, for years, has travel led reekless of the course lus steed was bear ing him, and inattentive to his welfare and subsistence ; most opportunely resolves to dismount, just as the neglected and injured animal is ab mt to throw his rider in the mire. Now, all this is well enough. It is the way to “ make a virtue of necessity”- And with a parcel of vain coxcombs in the world, it is the summit of their philosophy -11608086 they would never be thought to be disappointed in any of their objects, they pretend a serious dislike for every thing which they cannot obtain ; forgetting all the while, that the* never lie more notorj ' , ously, than when they affect to disparage and find fault with a tiling, merely because ' it is out of their power. In this class of malcontents, however, there is here and there a more rebellious wig it; who will sometimes take lire when he sees others promoted to those offices, which, in words he declines, but covets at heart; although, of which, unfortunately for his fictitious air of independence, form er delinquencies have rendered him unwor thy. There are many such aspirants in the I w >rld. The most obnoxious feature of their ambition is the base design of excluding every body else from those honorable posts, which themselves are not permitted to mon opolize. Thus they play the part of the dog in the fable ; they will neither eat hay themselves, nor suffer others to do it. But unlike the mastiff, who growls and barks unmask'd, under a semblance of f iend ship, they cherish revenge. Continual ly do they subject themselves to real pain, by wishing ill to others. |f they cannot prevent others, from resuming distinctions which they have lost, they aie prompt in cunning, though detestable expedient to atone for their humiliatingdis:i.o/)oii><, fl ' 'CK«ir aniftc.es to as they are silly, remind one of the craf«i- ! ness id’ reynaid, on losing his tad. Having the misfortune, one day, to be caught in a| steel trap, by that precious member, he was glad to compound for his escape, with' the loss of it. But on going into the world,' he grew so sensible of the disgrace such a defect would bring upon him, that he al most wished lie had died, rather than lost" 1 his tail : However (o make the best of a, bad matter, he resolved to call an assembly! of foxes, and propose it for their imitation, as a fashion that would be agreeable and be coming—thinking that, if he could induce! his whole species to cut off all their own tail**, he would not appear to a disadvantage among them. The meeting was called; and he made a long harrangue upon the nature and offices of tails in general, and endeavoured to shew the awkwardness and inconvenience of a fox’s tail i,n particular; declaring that it would be more graceful and expeditious, to be altogether without one ; i for he never had enjoyed himself so well, and found himself so light & easy, as he had done, since he cut off Ids tail. Not under - standing the art of writing, or of talking long without saving any thing, he did not attempt to intimidate his friends into the measure by long speeches, or by anony mous innuendoes —but stopt short and said no more. While he was looking round the company, with a brisk air of self approba tion, to see what proselytes he had gained a sly rogue, who understood trap , replied with a leer, " 1 believe, sir, you may have found a conveniency in parting witli your tail; and when we full into the same circum stances, perhaps we may do the same.” None but fools will be gulled by such tricks ; while none but they who have more y resentment than piety, will bml gratification in the use of them. Upright and high minded men never descend to legitimate mean actions ; they always act openly ; and if defeat and disappointment be their lot, they bear it with a g -od grace To accom plish their aims, they practice no strata gems, which they are ashamed to own. If they would caution a friend, or reprimand a foe, they perform (he office boldly; with out adopting the pitiiul alternative of anon ymous communications,and without enticing an\ ol their compliant satellites to become thcii cat’s paw.

The London Courier, in detailing the advantages of Rail Roads, upon the locomo- i tine steam engine principle, contains a re mark relative to Mr Rush, our present j Minister in London, and who is soon to re turn as Secretary of the I’reasm y : “ Whatever Parliament do, they cannoti stop the course of knowledge and improve-' meat!

The editors of the Balimore American, have been politely favored by an esteemed [friend with the following extract ol'a let ter from a respectable source at Havana, dated n Havana, March 9, 1825. We have nothing new here from Mexi-j co or Colombia. The Colombian sloopl| of war Bolivar, has captured the famous, J well arm *1 ship, farautuia. (sailed from ; Charleston , for Cadiz, on the 29'h last 1 August,) of Cadiz, and which loaded the year before last at New-Vork with flour, mounting 16 or 18 he'vy guns, with a| lerew of 120 picked men, having a cargo , on board, it is said, of quick-ilver, &c. worth nearly half q million of dollars. The Tarantula having struck upon a r i'e.y, the prize master had to go into Key I West to refir y where lie in going in, struck [upon the bar, and would have been lost, hail it not been lor the aid of a vrecker. i This wrecker claims a heavy salvage, /which can only be satisfied by a sale of , 4 the cargo and vessel, or so much of her ’cargo as will pay it. If thi is done, I t iexpect that the government of Cuba will prohibit all trade with that Island (Key H West) as it will certainty give great of i fence here, there being, it is said, more than seventy owners here of her cargo, and many of them d e most influential mer chants o. Havana.’ An extract of auoVnev hitter dated on i• the 12ili inst. says ; “ A Spanish schooner /came in to-day from windward, and re- I ported that lie had boarded a large ship a . shore on Point Yacos, near Matanzas ; that [{her decks were covered with blood, and he [ supposed the crew had been murdered. ; What vessel she was, whether American or 1 European, he could not tell, but that the ; ship was loaded with dry goods. We are ( inclined to believe she has run ashore and | the people made their escape to the beach. .j We have to day a report that our Minis r ter i- recalled from Spain ; that our naval t officers are ordered to duty, and that our ; ships of war are to be immediately equip . ped and ready for sea. At this news the pleading Spaniards are much alarmed.” —»>#•" We learn from a source entitled to credit, ■ that the vessel mentioned below, is the Schr. I Florida, (lately reported) and that there is - no doubt of the persons left on the wreck, r having been saved. [67ias. Patriot. "i Shipwreck.—Capt. Mclntyre, of the sclir. Herald, arrived at Providence from 1 Mobile reports, that on the Bth ult. in lat. ; 31,25, long. 77, he fell in with the wreck 1 of a schooner, about 70 tons burthen, new, 1 and full of water, but visible at intervals, \ her decks varnished, small break to her quarter deck, both masts gone, quarter and ’ wasie boards and boom painted green, quar ter board outside, p tinted black with a green ' streak, bright varnished sides, green boot top an! copper bottom; stumps of masts V standing, all the spars, sails, &c. lay along 'iside. A number of small articles came out "of the cabin window; among them a cane 5 with a silver head, a feather fan, a small e pillow case, some chairs, and a number of other small articles. Having no small boat could not obtain any of them. Her stern - wa- painted with floweis black and green. Uould not ascertain her name. One hour after leaving the wreck, spoke schr. Mary, , >t Charleston, bound to the West Indies: r informed him of ilie wreck ; bearing SS W 5 miles, he stood for the wreck, and soon - after saw him heave to. Y. Com. Adv. A HARD, CASE.

The gentleman ought to bring an action for “ Breach of Promise .” [Philadelphia Gazette. CauHm. —The subscriber lakes this me thod of informing the .public of an occurrence, which in this country he believes to be with ou l a precedent. About six weeks ago I ad vertised fur a house-keeper, in consequence of which a young woman, named Emma Bradford, English, of Boston, called at my house and off-red her services in the above c ipacify ; ! employed her, and she continu ed in the performance of her duties, and con ducted herself apparently, with the most perfect propriety,' fin til about two weeks ipast, when she one day came into my private room, and without ceremony proposed to be come my wife. 1 was surprised at such a proposal ; but having been gjeased with the kind care and attention site appeared to I manifest towards my children, I acceded to her proposition and left to her the appoint ment ofa time for the matrimonial ceremo nies. She said the anniversary of her birth day would be on tip* 13th inst. and she | would pr efer being married on thar day. This being agreed to, I procured from the parish judge, the H "I. J. Pitot, a licence in legal form for marriage—on the evening appointed the Rev. Mr. Hall and sever I gentlemen and ladies, who had been invited on the con templated occasion at my house, and after being seated a short time, the pretended bride entered the room, and making a few remarks, left the house. Supnosing sire was tube my wife, I at her reque-t, famished her, with do lung, &<-. tea considerable amount which she clandestinely removed from my house near the time ofhtM - leaving it.
