il was a charm hallowed hy the unrestrained
gudtM of a mother’s love.
Did you ever awake, while on a bed of-i<h
Tiess, and mid a mother’s hand pressed clos< iy
upon your forehead? It is pleasant thus to
break fi-om sleep even when affiiction is on
yon. You are assured that you have at least
one friend; and that friend is a true one. You
lire assm ed that if you never go again iotn th •
World, you wdl die lamented, and when pain
and disttt'-j are upon you, such an assurance
is const ! ng, At such a time, you can read
more iu’fy t mother’s feelings than her tongue
can expr s them. T4>e anxiery with whicn
she gazes upon you—the tenderness with
which >he sympalhizes with you—the willing
Hess with which she supplies your wants —all
serve to represent the secret workings ot her
heart. Hut a mother’s love is unceasing.—
Her children as they advance in years, go out
one by one into the world, and are soon scat
fared in the direction of the four winds of
Heaven. But though the oceans in ay sepa
rate them from her, they separate not the
bonds of her affection. Time and distance
rattier increase their anxiedes. She knows

Uiitit she bids a child farewell, her nature re
maiirf untried. But at the moment of separa

sures of’ affection, she has unconciouslv im

Who ran look coldly upon a m ther? Wh->,
af;er the unspeakable tenderness and cue wi h
which she has fostered him through infancy,
giiidt d him through childhood, and deliberated
with him through the perplexities of opening
manhood, can speak irreverently of a niothei?
Her claims to his affections are founded in
mature, and aoid must be the heart that can de
ny them. Over rhe grave of a friend—of a
brother or a sister, I would plant the primrose,
for it is emblematical of you'h; but over that of

sVjih whatever respect and admiration the ■

him in his vi.tious pursuits, he turns with great
er affection and intensely love, to a kind heart
ed moth r. The same emolions follow him
through hie, and when the changing vicissi

You have no idea of the unpleasant situa

It really seemed to me at times as if some

I never shall forget the ridiculous figure I i
made t»t Mrs. . Ten years passed over, i
and yet I am as sensibiv alive to the moriili

I deeply smitten, in the m-’- s t of a formal asst m- j
‘.v'/ge ! ‘<f ber relatives, when this same j
' spirit of bashfulness took possession of me.— ■
I fidgeted in my seat, tumbled up my hair, until I
I I looked fur all the world like Mad Tom; and
to complete the scene, I contrived to get both ;
j hands in my pockets, and both feet entangled ’
I in the rounds of my < hair, so that when I lean- .
cd forward, it tipped, and down came 1 and the
chair together in the midst of the circle, 1 on

of me I was extricated with difficulty by the

to some cha ming young ladies there, one of

which I was in search. \\ iih a desperate ef
fort, I made up my mind to face the straugers.
I chose the soft fc heur of twilight, as 1 knew I
should feel inure confidence >n toe dusk, but
on finding myself ushered into a room lull of

i completely. I stammered, and blundered so

My next adventure happened while staying ar '
my aunt’s who lives in the country. She bad
sent for me purposely to make myself agreea
ble to the rich and beautiful Miss IL who,
with some other ladies, were staving with her. i
I admired Miss 11. very much, and it was the <
dearest wi>h ot my aunt to see us united.— ■
The sleighing was very fine at that time, mid
one day my evt genius put it into tho ladies;
heads to propose a eleigh ride, to call at a >
neighboring house. As my aunt’s sb igh had :
been broken, the coachman had fastened a sort
ot box on the runners, covered with buflaio
skins, which was to contain uys- If and the
three ladies. Tins latter arrangement, I oi..
jectedto, and ins steel tipon driving, as I never
could summon coinage to tare three ladu s a'

I yoors gen’ierneii us their acquaintance soon
bi er ■ 3 ne up, and,* «‘»t recognizing them al
1 llirsi, sat up a a.ma of laughter al their ridicu
>: 1 Bir-’Miau. These gentlemen took them
J home, where I found them. Miss II ne-
) ver could bear to her my name mentioned af
terwards. But oh, worse and worse! I never
shall forget the party at Mrs. G ’s. It
was wha’ 1 always did de’est, a small and so
ciable p-rty, composed of a stiff circle around
the room. In the midst of this circle I found
myself tn that situation, dreaded bv all gen
tlemen, but particularly hateful to me, stand
, tag up before a lady endeavoring to extract
conversation out of nc.hing. How i got there
I cannot tell, but as soon as I discovered
I where I was, and saw many fair faces turned
i towards me, in a listening attitude, all self
: possession vanished, I grew redder and redder,
iand more cm.fused —lost tbe thread of my dis
course, and while vainly endeavoring to recov
er my scattered ideas, I espied, as I thought
' luckily, Miss G—’s glove lying at her feet.
I snatched it up hastily, but found to my bor
tr>r. I had caught up the lady’s foot. She was
‘only saved from a complete somerset by the
1 quickness Ot a lady mxi her. ‘ Vhen I again
jsummoned up courage to call on Miss G ,
I was told By the grinniriii blackee, “Mtssee
say she not at home.” Thus one by one I
lost all these fair creatures, and bv degrees
my relish for society. One evening, however,
I was persuaded to accept an invitation to a
party given by the beautiful Miss D , she
(resided in >n <»!<! rambling country house near
Imy aunt L , at whose house I was then
lon a visit. The rooms i.i which the company
! were io be received, had been added to the
.rest of tho house sometime before, and to en
iter them, it was necessary to descend three
steps, a most detestable, arrangement by the
bye, and I wish tier old Dutch ancestor who
contrived it, had drowned himself and his
bright imaginings m the Zuider Zee. I had
reasoned strongly with myself before I went;
: “'A hat is there in the face of a woman that I
I should fear to look upon it? lam a man of
fortune and figme, and ought to succeed in so
ciety I tci7? exert myself to throw off this
niautftise honle', I wih be a man?’’ With these
sentiments, I drove boldh up to the house,
strode lof’tlv through the hall, forgot the three
steps, and came thundering down in the midst
oi' tlic asionibhcd guests, I turned my back
and fled. From that time I have shunned tie
face <d woman. Yes, woman! tn whom I have
a’Tvays looked us the source of every blessing
i here below, ! must fly from—she :s that bright
and particular star which I may not hope to
obtain. Dear madam, do you not pity mo—is
it not a cruel fate, that one feeling should ren
der the uorld a desert to me, and force me to
be what I always dreaded and hated, a dreary
old bachelor. Tell rm* what I shall do. Take

AVe alluded in our rem uks of the other dav
to the next presidential election, without al
luding particularly to the distinguished citizens
designated bv their respective fr.ends as candi
dates. Without entering into the merits <«f
the question, and wiihout intending to investi
gate the claims of the aspirants to the Miff age
of the people, we will tiffi r a fewgener 'l >b
servations or, the reasons which have been
urged in favor of !l e citizens designated. But
let it be understood that we d » so without com
imtiing oni-elves upon tins exciiing question,
at lea-t for the present. We, 10-!»y, begin
»>ur observations by saying a few words on the
amniositv manifested by the opposition to
General Jackson and to bis admimsiratioii.
I Why should -ueh animosity against the Pre
j sident exist ! AVe believe that it should sur-
I prise no one. General Jackson has disap
' pointed the ambitious expectations of almost
< <>ll the di stingmshed citizens who Lave now
j pretensions to the highest office of the country.
\nd for the disappointment, the General can
never he forgiven He disappointed Mr. Cal
i boon, who hail four ded ires ambitions hopes on
'succeeding him in tin* presidency. Mr 'Cal
houn thought his connexion with General
Jackson so strong, that n could noi lie djssolv
ed by any political combination of opponents
, and pretenders to the presidency, lie had
<' warmlv supported the General against all mh
■or competcors; he had mainly contributed in
defeating the candidate of ilie republican par
; ty nt 1825; and fie thought he could calculate
on the gr titude of General Jackson for Ins
; apparent devotion to his Hanns to the presi
dency. Bu Mr. Calhoun was disappointed in
Ins opinion ot General Ja< ks< n’s popularity.
Mr. Calhoun nd his It lends did noi elect the
General, uitd tm y did noi assisi him in ob
taining a second term. This popularity of
General Jar k-oii obtained ail lie wanted from
the people, by the means of his own popularity,
and ihis popularity was felt after Mr. Calhoun
• ami his friends iia offi-red General Jack-on
as a rad date in opp<»-ition to the southern
can- idate. The • then p> iceiV'd he errot
they had < ommnted; but it was ton lam to ror
r< i t it, and to secure the <>bje< i <1 their ambi
uon. General ,J k r.*on became sensible of the
moiives w |.i<;h led Mr- < <dhoun arid lit.’* friends
to advocate hrs claims to ihe pres'denev.
lf'*iii’e the d>s-o!uuoii <■ ihe pohnea) cot-nex

tbe disclosure ot the part which the latter gen
tfemau had taken auo&l tue < omiacl of the
loriaer tn the Seminole war. Frustrated m
iris p.O'i of iii-tuiiig Gno r I Ja* kso, *, e r > m
- one >o the presidency, Air. Caihoun very
naturaLy becaim* an enemy, ami <»s he had m»t
abandoned ail hopes of gratifying ms ambition,
In- drier ted his operations towards undermtn
■ng it.** popular ty which had blasted alius
pio-perts, under .he impression that ibis ac
< o.n t listed, he would Uuve seine < i.nm e «d
ittPimng the presidentv. Inis senem*- i>-is
faded; .he populany ofGeutru J< kson has
oeen very hitlo tejurad by ths pulmc*-! co;b-
binationa formed against him; and this is what
must render most formidable the candidate
who will be supported by the friends of the
administration.
The supporters of the other pretenders,
whether oponents originally or formerly friends
of General Jackson, must join in the general
attack made against the administration. —
Tbe pretenders, who were formerly friends of
the President, except, perhaps, Mr. V »n Buren
and Mr. While, have long since ascertained
that they could not obtain the support of the
administration. It was very natural forthem
to join in the opposition, since there was no
thing to gain in remaining attached to the ad
ministration party. New associations were
formed, and new plans adopted to oppose the
measures of the administration, and to operate
on the feelings of the people if defeated,
notwithstanding the strength they may have
added to the opposition, those pretenders al
luded to, would not have fared bettei by re
maining tn the Jackson ranks. They believe
that they have yet some chance of success,
while in the oilier case they had none. But as
the people will have to decide the question,
the claims of the candidates will be placed be
fore them, and no doubt the issue will be made
according to their best judgement and then
best m eresls*
The people will not be deceived as to the
motives which led Mr. Calhoun to unite him
self with the opposition, and which led Mr.
McLean also and other former friends ofGen
Jackson, to assist in putting down the present
administration. The measures of the admin
istration are not free from censure; and the
policy which the President recommended at
various times was not altogether unobjection
able, hence the idvantage which the opposi
tion derived <u: several occasions, and which
appeared at onetime to shake the confidence
of the people in the administration But that
confidence is yet felt for the admiriislration,
must be admitti d, and it is the knowledge of
such a fact, which increases the hatred enter
tamed towards the President of the pretenders
/o the presidency and their respective friends.
Weji.st siid that the people could not be de
rived as to tho motives winch led Mr. Cal
hettn and other pretenders to unite themselves
wiih die opposition. Can the people be made
to believe that il was pair otism that led Mr.
Calhoun to net as he did? Who can deny
that be would be seen, at this time, a wai m
supporter es (he administralion, if he had been
able io keep up tLe charm which he thought
he had thrown around General Jackson and
himself? Who can deny that Mr. McLean
would still be the warm admirer of General
Jackson, if promises had been held out of
support before the people for a cerlain high
office? The turn which matters took, has
disappointed all those gentlemen; and as they
believed (hat no common circumstances could
counteract their schemes, they have all as
cribed their disappointment to a certain great
Magician, who, wiih his wand, has made their
arnbi ions hopes vanish from iheir sight. Can
he people be made to believe that, by a mere
intrigue, Mr. Y an Buren has been able to oper
ate such wonderful things ? Can the people
believe that such men as Calhoun, McLean,
Tazewell, Leigh, and other men of splend d
talents and superior intellectual powers, have
been th, Cup's and no; ent s .fluid's ot Air.

“If no notes circulate of such small denom

to eflect such objects, it must be manifest ttmt
(hey at once become relieved from any consid

perly devolved on 'he wealthier and more com
mercial classes, for whose benefit clin fly bank

then, occur by the failure of banks, or the de
preciation of iheir notes those losses reach,
in only a small degree, persons who seldom

respect to coutitcrfei s, these were so much
confined to the small notes in England, as to
furnish an addn.oit I reason tm re iqr prohibit

this country piubably in a ratio of ten to one
among the smaller tioms. The r- ason will,
on a little reflection, bo obvion®, as the less tu
t >rmed and i< ,-s affluent, to whom the small
bills are tnos' frequently jtassed, are loss quali

able to bear the losses from them, then the
more weal hy, who rare!) ar-deceived by coun

therefore not only relieve, m some degree, all,
but in a great degiee the most exposed portion
of tbe community, from frauds and injuries by
counterfeit bills; but it will noi at the same
nine subject them to me losses, m au equal de

easy, and almost certain mode fur all classes
ot detecting counterfiens of any great value
since the specific gravity of gMd nearly ex

I h- next esxentnl change, to that connected
witn tho withdrawal of sm.,|| notes from circu
lation, ami which tins department would re«
f
commend as an improvement m the present
fiscal system of employing State banks is to
require the fullest returns to be made by those
employed, in relation to their actual capital
paid in; their discounts, circulation, specie,
and oti/er circumstancas throwing light on lhek
probable safety and intelligent mode of con
ducting business. This, coupled with the
power, (hiough committees or commissioners,
to verify the correctness of such returns, by
actual examination in cases ot suspicion, will
prove a highly conservative and useful tneas.
ure to both the public and the banks as well
the Government. It will net only furnish to
the latter, a salutary facility in discovering and
revising any errors in its depositories, arising
from madvertance or misapprehension, but
will increase its security, and if tho banks real
ly merit cot fidence, will justly ensure to them |
all that improved standing and augmented trust
with tbe community, which, tn the end, must
prove so advantageous, in a pecuniary view *
to their proprietors. The late examinations
in England of the most intelligent bankers
and skilful financiers, led to a parliamentary
provision, for the first time, in favor of minute,
reports from the Bank of Englund to the Go
vernuient, and the average results of which
quarterly, are required to he made public. In
1820, Mr. Crawford went so far on this sub
ject as, in some cases, to request of a bank a*"'
confidential “list of its debtors, showing the
amount due by each.” All mystery on the
subject of banking should cease. It j s un _
worihy the ago in which we live, and the form 4
of Government we support: and the real con-*
dilion of all banking insittutrons, which claim
public confidence and ctedit, should be shown '
far and wide, to all interested, fully to deserve
that confidence and credit.
