A PRINTER’S DECLARATION.
In the last number of the Carlisle
of a publication fur which they will find ready I Democrat, Gen. Boyer releases himself
. from those who have taken his paper,
us of the means neec n ssary to feed and
clothe the young Naragansells accord
ing to our desires.
They have combined with others to
subject us to the wor.-t grievance*, for*
eign to our good nature, and unacknowl
edged by our laws.
For cutting off our trade with paper
makers.
For imposing debts upon us without
our consent.
For depriving us, in many cases of
the benefits of maTket money.
They have plundered our pockets,
cheated our creditors, burnt our fingers,
and done sundry other cruel and bar
barous acts unworthy the character of
gentlemen.
In every stage of these oppressions
we have pe'itioued in the most humble
terms ! our repeated petitions have been
answered, only by repeated neglect and
consequent injury. Men whose char
acters are thus marked by acts which
may define a set of plundering scamps
are unfit longer to be the recipients of
our favor.
Nor have we b; en wanting in atten
tion to these men; we have warned them
from time to time through the paper
and by letter of a 4 Black List.’ We
have reminded them of our circumstan
ces—of our emigration and settlement
in Carlisle.- We have appealed to their
sense of justice aud magnanimity, and
then we have conjured them by all the
.ties of good fellowship, to send us the
* Almighty Dollar,’ or we would inevit
ably interrupt our connection and cor-
respondence-with them. But they have
been deaf to the voice of reason and hu
manity. We must, therefore, acquiesce
in the necessity which denounces our
separation, and hold them as we do all
others like them, scamps when tifey
don’t pay us, when they do, tho best of
clever fellows and good citizens.
We, therefore, the editor of the Amer
ican Democrat, appealing to all honest
meu for the rectitude of our intentions,
do in the name and by the authority of
our 4 belter half’ and nine small chil
dren, with one c n the bosom,, solemnly
publish and declare these men are, and
of right ought to be, stricken from our
list of subscribers, and that all connec
tion between them and us, is and ought
to be, totally dissolved. And for the
support of this declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of our honest
patrons, we solemnly pledge renewed
exertions to our pen, our paste pot and
noble scissors.
A CURIOUS SERMON.—AH!
The Brandon (Mississippi) Register,
reports the following curious sermon,
preached at the town of Waterproofs, not
far from Brandon:
‘‘I may say to you, my breethering
that I am not an educated man, an 1 am
not one o’ them as beleves that edecation
is necessary fur a gospel minister, fur
{•always ready to fillordersinthe best style. I rpHE Subscriber is receiving daily supplies I ly bands which have connected him with I ^** eve '* ,e
‘ - 7 L M of fresh Oysters in the s&U. aud Black, villainous patrons (!) and assume among Jf ««he wants era t° be edecated, an
thoft-saad strings—sperits of just men
made perfeck.”
Now. the different sorts uv fire-in the
world may be likeiiid unto the different
persuasions uv Christians in the world,
in the first place, we have the Piscapa-
lians; an’ they are a high sailin’, and a
high falutin set, and the/ may be liken
ed unto a turkey bustard that flies Op in
to the air, and he goes up and up, and
up, till he looks no bigger than your fin,
ger nail; and tLe first thing you know-
lie cums down, and down, and is a fillin
himself on the karkiss uv a dead boss,
by the side uv the road—and ‘‘He play
ed on a harpuv a thou sand strings—
sperilsol just men made perfeck.”
And then-(bar is the Methedis, and
they may be likened unto the squirrel,'
runnin' up into a tree, for the Methedis
bleeves in gwine on from owe degree of
grace to another, and finally on to perfee
shun, and the quirrei goes up and up,
and up and up, and he jumps from lim*
to lim’, and branch to branch and fust
thing you know be falls, and down he
cums kerflummux, and that’s like the
Medhedi3. for they is always falling
from grnce-ab! And—‘‘He played on a
harp of» l/tou-sand strings—sperits uv
just men made perfeck.'
And then, my breethring tbar’s tho
Baptist-ah! and they hev bin likened
unto a possum on a simmon tree, and
the thunders may roll, and the earth may
quake but that possum clings there still-
ab ! Aud you may shake one foot loose,
aud the other’s thar,and you may shake
all feet loose, and he laps his tail around
the limb, and he clings and he clings for
ever, for—“He played on a harp uv a
thou sand strings—sperits of just men
made perfeck—ah!
BOY LOVE.
One of the queerest and funniest
things to think of in after life, is “boy
love.” No sooner does a boy acquire a
tolerable stature than be begins toimagine
himself a man, and to ape riiftnish ways.
He casts sidelong glances at the girls he
may meet, becomes a regular attendant
at church or meeting, sports a cane, car
ries his head erect, and struts a little in
his walk. Presently, and how very soon,
he falls in love—yes, falls in is the prop
er word, because it best indicates bis
happy, delirious, self-abasement. He
lives now in a fairy region, somewberp
collateral to tbe world, and yet, somehow,
blended inextricably with it. He per
fumes his hair with fragrant oils, scatters
essences over his handkerchief; and des
perately shaves and anoints for a beard.
He quotes poetry in which ‘‘love,” and

“ My tex breethring, leads me to speak
of sperits. Now tbar’s a great many
kind of sperits in tbe world—in the fust
place, thar’s the sperits as sum folks
calls ghosts, and then thar’s the sperits
uv turpen time, and then thar’s the sper
its as some folks call liquor, an’ I’ve got
as good an artebei uv them kind uv-sper-
its on my fiat boat as ever was fotched
down the Mississippi river, but thar*s a
great many other kind of sperits, for the
tex 9ez: “He played on a harp ov a thou
sand strings—sperits of just men made
perfeck.”
But I’ll tell you the kind uv sperits as
— . -l. « :»>. niD. T’hnt’s
the kind of sperits as is meat in the tex,
my breethring. N ow thar’s a great many
kinds uv fire in the world. In the fust
place, thar’s the common sort uv fire you
light your segaror pipe with, and then
thar’s cam fire, fire before yu’re reddy,
and fire and fall back, many other kinds
of fire, for the tex sez: “He played on
a harp uva <A©u-sand strings—sperits of
just men made perfeck.”
But I’ll tell you the kind of fire as is
ment in the tex. my breethring—it's
hell fire I an’ that’s the kind uv fire as
a great many uv you will come to, ef you
don’t do better nor what you hev bin
dpin*—for “He flayed on a harj> uv a
dove,” and “heart,” and •* dart,” pecu
liarly predominate; and, as he plunges
deeper into the delicious labyrinth, fan
cies himself filled with the divine affla
tus, and suddenly breaks into a scarlet
rash—of rhyme. He feeds upon the
looks of his beloved; is raised to the
seventh heave if she speaks pleasantly ;
is betrayed into (he most astonishing
ecstaciesby a smile, and is plunged in
the gloomiest regions of misanthropy by
frown.
lie believes himself the most devoted
lover in the world. Thete never was
uch another. There never will be.
Me is the one great idolator I He is the
very type of magnanimity and self-
abnegation. Wealth! he despises the
groveling tbouhgt. Poverty, with the
adorable beloved, he rapturously apostro
phises as the first of all earthly blessings;
and ’‘Love in a Cottage with water and
a crust,” is the beau ideal paradise of
dainfy delights.
He declares to himself, with the most
solemn emphasis, that he would go thro*
fire and water; undertake afpilgrimage to
China and Kamschatka; swim storm-
tossed oceans; scale impassable moun
tains; and face legions of bayonets, but
for one sweet smile from her dear lips.
He dotes upon a flower she has cast away.
He cherishes her glove—a little worn in
the fingers—next his heart. He sighs
like a locomotive letting off steam. He
scrawls her dear name over quires of
foolscap—fitting medium for his insanity.
He scornfully depreciates the attentions
of other boys of his owu age ; cuts Peter
