FRIENDSHIP.
'there is ti lie Invisible,
Unbroken by the grave;
Sacred anl undissolvable;
That spurns the mountain wove.
A chain, Whose silken links extend
O’er continent and main.
That dine, or fortune, ne’er can rend.
Whose brightness naught can stall*
That reaches (hr above the sky,
Through all the starry host, ■ ,
To that celestial world on high,
In which the (hncy ’8 loth
A light, whose bright nnftickering ray,
Hums brighter when conceal’d ;
That seldom shows itself l.y day,
Bat in the night’s reveal’d.
Wliie.i,- when the storm and tempest rise,
An I.every ptur’s o’erenst, ... ,
, Shows forth iu clearest, strongest blare,,
■. And brigl.tcns in the blast.
S'. ’TisTriendshlp’s tie, that blm’s the heart—
A bond of unison,
, • Thm distnnee, life, nor death, cap part,
That makes two bosoms one. ' ‘
•Tis friendship’s chain, that with the. sky,
Unlinks the mourner’s breast;
* Tim* renelicß to the World on high ;
H.d Is those who’vt sunk to rest.
’Tie friendship’s light, whose steady beam
Burns brighter In distress,
And scarce displays its modest gleam,
Until misfortunes press ;
A light that glows nrnund the tomb;
Oloams bright o’er filler worth;
That Lids, the rose of truth to bloom;
That’s seldom found on enrth.
•Tis like those (lowers that, here and there,
U-pon the desert Spring,
And ope their blushing bosoms fair—
But not so perishing.
Many n bud assumes its hue,
And ’s worn upon the bret. f,
’ (Mistaken fir the Rowret true,)
That withers when Tis press’d.
’Twero happy, cpnl.l such flowers decay,
And leave no thorns behind,
That never can lie pluck’d away;
..That agonise the mind.
Alls 1 experience proves 100 well,
That painless, (Kv depart;
And, diet, a moment though they dwill,
They will “a sling imparl,”
As the false, tiiisile rears its head
. Among the fairest gems, ' .
~ And, when the lovelier Ho vers nre dead,
Shoots forth its .{sickly steuisi
So doth - fdsn.friend.-hip spread its bloom,
To rankle and destroy, ... .
And wim fdsc glare-its slings illmnc, ’

So various arc its frauds, no art
Can c’tfr detect its wiles;
■No skill Can scan the courtier’s heart,
Timt cornea arrny’d in smiles.
The only test of friendship true,

Por oft is false the gundy bite

WHEN ABOUT TO LEAVE W'OTL AM).
The following simple mtd touciring verses, says the editor
of die Edinburgh Literary Gazette, who publishes them
for the first lime, lirongla immediately to be set to music;
they are well calculated to take llirlr place among the
songs of the much lamented bard. . v
O’er the mist shrouded clifls of the June mountain slrnj ing
Where the wild winds of winter incessantly rave,
# What woes wring my heart, while intensely surveying
T he storm’s gloomy path on the breast ofthc wavc.
4 Ve foam-crested billows allow me to wail,
Kre yon toss me afitr from my own native shore,
Where the flower which bloom’d sweetest in CuiluV green
vale,
T he pride of my bosom, my Mary’s no more,
i marc by the banks ofthe strenmlel we’ll wander,
And smile at the moon’s rimpled face in the wave :
fn more shall my arms cling with fondness around her,
For me flow drops ofirvorning foil cold on her grave.
.V. more shall liic soft thrill of love warm my breast,
I male with t ie storm to a l;T distant shore,
■ • here unknown, unluiiirnted, icy ashes slmll rest,
And joy shall revisit my bosom uomore.

A very luminous and interesting appose t
of the .State of the National Debt and Re- i
venue of the Kingdom, was made in the 1
House of Lords ou the <»th ultimo, by Vis- i
count Gooderieh. So pleased was the f
Duke of Wellington with this effort of !
his predecessor in the Premiership, that 1
Pilate and Herod on that day became 1
friends. . ■ 1
One position of the late Premier (for- [
merly SBir Frederick Robinson, Chancel- t
lor of the Exchequer,) was that ll wns t
absurd.to estimate the amount of the re- f
duelioii of our debt by the diminution of c
capital. “An ordinary debt was couipofe- I
ed of capital lent to the debtor; it was
confided to the borrower to repay what [
lie borrowed at his own convenience, mid i
it wns confided to the lender to demand ’
back his principal. Os these t\vo dpn-. (
dilions only one was oppUciiblc.l6 the i
National Debt. By the contract the State
iiud entered into with its deb tots, iti'ftnd
the right to pay them off whenever it was 1
convenient or advisable for the State lb <
do so; but by the terms of the contract, |
the public creditor could never claim from 1
the Stub; a single shilling of what* he had '
advanced. The utmost which he was <
entitled to claim—and to that ulone had '
ihe Stat> pledged itself—was the pay- :
ment of na annuity [hear, hear! from the <
Duke of Wellington."] His Lordship
compared the charge for the debt in 1810
and a(present. In 1810 the total of the
charge for the Funded and Unfounded
Debt, was £.‘12,0y8,751. In 1829 the charge <
for the Funded Debt wns £28,277,117, [
iiiict the increase on Exchequer Bills *
£878,1111. so that the total diminution o.i )
that of 1820 cbnipured with 1810, was '
£1,78:1.110. When the operation respec- ‘
ting the Four per Cents should he com- J
pleted. the reduction on the charge for ‘
ilie National Debt for next year, as coin- *
pared with 1810, would be four millions *
and a half. Tills diminution in the charge, 1
he contended, was equivalent to a rcduc- '
tion of 150 millions of capital at 1 per cent. I

seers nnd hands are becoming more ex- 1
pert in their operations; and the public 11
work of improving roads, will probably
be .perceptibly facilitated in the next
quarterly term. Generally, the commu
nity anil Corporate bodies have readily
assisted the vie .vs of the Bu|>erintendciit,
and thereby lightened his arduous duties,
imd lessened the [lerplexities attendant
on the discharge of them. It lias been
much desired by him, to have the co-op
eration of the district hands in the gene
ral progress of the work, 'that these dis
trict hands who nre liable to road duty,
under existing laws, may go ahead efthe
State hands ns pioneers, and open the
rodds for the more efficient operations of
(lie public hands. The Superintendent
bus found all the roads in the State, which
he has surveyed, to be wanting in foe
width prescribed by law, ami tlie ad
vance ofthe public hands has been im
peded even where roads were of good
surface and soil, by being obliged to make
them ofthe proper width, by digging cut
stumps and trees, and excavating tlie
earth on the sides to correspond with the
parts already Ibnnod.
As the plan adopted to repair the pub
lic roads, now in successful operation,
is one ofgreat importance to the people
we shall endeavor to procure, quarterly,
correct information ofthe progress made

The appendix to Mr. Forsyth's speech
cn llio. Indian Question, contains some
extracts from the laws of several ofthe
Btrttes aflectmgthe Indian Tribes, which
will shew the condition ofthe Aborigines
in those states in which the greatest share
of abuse bus been heaped upon this state,
by pm tiznns nnd political philanthropists.
In .Massachusetts for instance, by an act
tinted 179 G, “to encourage the prosecution
of the Indian enemy nod rebels,” a rega
in: 1 scale of premiums is awarded ibr kil
ling or taking Indians, per head—the
proof of the fact’being tlie scalp ofthe
Indian killed, or the body pi the prisoner.
The captives to have the benefit ofthe
women and children, and plunder taken
from the enemy—the prisoners to be ban
ished from flTe*’ Country.' ~A not Iter net
of the Colonial Legislature is /or the en
couragement of blood hounds to hunt the
Indians. These laws it may he said nre
obsolete, & well they may be, alter the j
Indians huVc been thus killed off." The (
helpless few remaining are under tlie j
guardianship ofthe state.
In Connecticut, the miserable remnant ,
ofthe Pequods aid others who have sur
vived the burnings and killings of tlie ,
white settlers (some notice of which, we ,
have already taken.) arc placed by exis- (
ting laws, eaeli under an overseer, who |
has tlie euro and management of fooir ,
lands; which they tire not permitted to ,
dispose of; nnd persons selling (hem li- ,
quor nre liable to a fine; the crime of mur- (
derby an Indian on the hotly of another
is tried by the state; they arc subjected to
a fine for drunkenness; for violating the '
Lord's Day, Ac. , ■
In Pennsylvania, that state, which '
claims for itself and to which it is allow
ed so much praise for the justice of its
dealings with the Indians—where too a
Dignitary ofthe Church gwe the weight
of his influence recently against foe mea
sures ol' tlie administration, by an net of
1777, it is provided—“that no person con
victed of perjury shall be capable of being
a witness in tiny case, nor shall any negro,
mulatto or Indian la admitted to give evidence
but against or bctu ani negroes, mulatloes or
Indians
By an net of3lary!uud in 1692, it was
rendered penal, to kidnap the Indians
without license from the Governor.
Some ofthe papers of New-York in
sist in the face of fact A evidence, that the
Indians of that state are not under foe
jurisdiction ofthe state. The following
act of 1823 expressly claiming the right
of legislating over, the Indians, as “a ne- .
cessary attribute of sovereignty/’ nnd to 1
which we have before referred, ought to 1
silence them• '
New-York.— [lß22.]—Whereas tlie
Seneca, and other tribes of Ihdians, resi

withstanding near seven thousand co
pies of the present edition have been dis
posed of in less than tuo month s, the supply
thus far has been insufficient to satisfy the
demand. The following, from the Port
land Courier, is in the same spirit with
most of the articles that have appeared
in the various journals throughout the
country in relation to this work.
“Smiley’s Gkoora niv.—How the world
goes on improving. In our school-boy
clays, some 20 or 2-5 years, when we used
to stand up in a row that reached clear
across the school house, and read from
one end of the class to the other those
“never-ending,” still begining stories of
“situation A extent, boundaries, climate,
soil, and productions,” which run through
Moise’s old abridgement, together with
the thousand jaW-breaking names, and all
withoutmnp or question, we could nothelp
thinking geography rather a dry affair.—
But now, sijch are the improvements of
the age, geography is one of the most
delightful and attractive of school exer
cises. We have received a copy of Smi
ley’s Easy Introduction to Geography,
with the accompanying maps, seventh
edition, Philadelphia, and have glanced
over a part of it. It appears to contain
some valuable improvements, which we
have not noticed in other works. The
work is accompanied by ten fine maps,
prepared under the direction of Henry IS.
Tanner, whose acquirements and ability
in that department are well known. Be
sides these, there are about bO wood en
gravings in the body of the work, some
of which are maps of the principal cities
and towns in the Vnifed States, and oth
ers are descriptive of the costume, man
ners, and habits of the people of different
countries. Mountains, rivers, and cities,
arc divided into six classes according to
and are designated on the maps by
figures. We flunk iiislruetoi s, parents,
and school committees, who are iii want
of geographies far their children or pu
pils, will do will to examins this work.”

Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated
Shei.byvii,i.e, Tenn. June 2, 1830.
Dear Sir: ShelhyVille is in ruins. On
Monday night, 31st May, about 12 o’clock,
it pleased an allwise Providence to visit
this place with a most devastating hurri
cane. The Court-house, the Market
house, Methodist Church, the Brick Hotel,
the Bank and many other valuable buil
dings, were prostrated in an instant.—
Five young men were killed, and many
others bruised and Wounded. Mr. New
ton, editor of the Shelby ville Intelligen
cer, was carried amidst the ruins of his
house ICO yards, and instantly killed and
dreadfully mangled; the other young men
who were killed were Mr. David Whit
son Sc Mr. Caldwell, saddlers; Mr. Hide
out, and Mr. Arnold, clerk in Mr.
James Kcid’s store. Messrs. Blackman,
Dodson, Solomon, Dews, and many oth
ers, were badly hurt. About thirty eight
stores and shops, and ten or fifteen dwel
ling houses were overthrown.
‘ The damage is variously estimated,
from fifty to a hundred thousand dollars.
Some have lost their all, and are without
houses, furniture, or food. Air. Turpen
tine's Jewelry shop was literally torn to
pieces, and his whole stock scattered in
every direction, The goods in most of
the stores sustained a good deal of injury.

“About half past ten o’clock last night,
our village was visited with a Tornado,
the violence and destructive effects of
which no ,m*ii can describe, nor can they
he adequately Conceived except by those
who were witnesses to the awful and ter
rific scene. Our little town is now’, lite
rally, a heap of ruin.
“The following list of buildings demol
ished may famish some idea of the des
tructive ravages of the storm, within the
compass of our little village:—
“Dr. Napier’s corner, occupied by B.
A. Collier as a store, ami by Mr. Glasgow
ns a tailor’s shoji; along log building,
occupied by Voorhies and Smith as a
store and Airs. Clinton ns a dwelling;
Judge Humphrey's house, occupied by
Dr. B. N. Carter; Thomas Palmer’s
house, including a saddler’s shop; Tho
mas Gppes’ dwelling, shop, &e. dwelling
occupied by Mr. Eubanks ; G. Adam

Including a dwelling occupied by Dr.
Dickson, a store occupied by Sir. Massey,
and the Post Office; n dwelling occupu d
by Mr. Betts—these, with all the outbuild
ings-anil improvements, are entirely de
stroyed- ; The opposite corner, formerly
occupied by Dr. Carter, and the next
building occupied by Mr. £mith, are
likewise gone, with tw o stables mid throe
kitchens, James Neshit’s cotton gin, with
dwelling and stables are totally demolish
ed. Robert. Livingston’s shop and every
other building on his premises, except his
dwelling, the chimney of wh eh was
blown down. The dwelling of Jacob
Voorhies, was taken off’ to the second
story, and all his outbuildings destroyed.
Field Farrar's stable and other outhouses
were demolished. Several other build
ings are materially injured. The only
house in the town that entirely escaped
injury is that occupied ns a store by
James Steele & Co. and with the build
ings destroyed, nearly nil their contents
were swept away and lost. The court
house, a substantial brick building, is a
heap of ruins. Mr. Wm. Collier is dan
gerously injured, but yet survives. The
jail is nearly level with the ground.
Mrs. Eubanks is not expected to recover
Mrs Cofiee is much mangled; Mr. Glas
gow w as dreadfully injured, though now
recovering, and many other persons have
received smaller wounds. The public
records are ail lost, and the fragments of
