Willi tho exception of tho first verso, the origin of which ia •till unnsoutaiMd, it was written ky Albert G. Greene, Esq., of Providence R. 1. Old Grimo* is dead; that good old than, Wo ne’er shall sco .. m more Ho used to won iking black coat All buttou'd down bofoio. His heart was open ns the day — His feelings all were Iran— His hair was some inclin'd to grey; Ho wore it in a queue. Whene'er ho henrd the voice of pain, His liresst with pitvhnrncd— Tiie large round head upon his rami From ivory was turned, And ever proihpt at pity's call, He knew nn hose design— His eyes were dark, and rather small! Hi» nose was aquiline, He lived at peace with all mankind, In friendship he was true— His coat lind pocket-holes behind— His pantaloons wore blue. Unliarm'd, the sin winch earth pollute* , lie passed securely o'er— Ho never wore a pair of lioots Fdr thirty yenrs or more. But good Old Grimes iS now at rest, Nor fears misfortune’* frown—- He wore a doable breasted vest, The stripes ran up und down: Ife modest n.erit sought to find, And pay it its desert— Ho had no malice ill his mind*— No rulilos on lua shirt. His neighbours lie did not abuse, Waa sociahls and gay— He wore forge buckles in Ills shoes;. And changed them every day. Hi* knowledge, hid from public gaze, ^ Ho did not bring to view— Nor uiake a noise town-meeting chi) .*, As many people do. His worldly goods he never threw Intrust to fortune's chances— But lived (as all bis brothers do) In easy circumstances. Tims undisturbed by anxious care*, Ilia peaceful moments run— Aud every body said he was A fine old gentleman. THE BUCCANEER Whilst our country urns yet in it* infan cy, and but n short tiino previous to the commencement of that ever memorable s : rugglu, which terminated in (he political sepeiatiun of the colonies from the moth or country, them cruised off (he shoro of Iho Weal India lainuds, u Hover, known by the appellation of the “ Black Buccan eer,” a name given him front the qolor of his vessel, whoso exterior was paintod black, tlifi hotter to be screoood from ob servation when the government cruisers obliged him to seek shelter and conceal ment among tho weeks and inlets of the islands, Rumor had widely disseminated the daring exploits of this notorious buc caneer, whose illicit proceedings were principally, if not exclusively, directed a- gainst the flog of Great Britain; but his enminty tu that nation not only proved de trimental to their commerce, but alio act ed oppressively tu ours; as wo at that time acknowledged allegiance to thn countiy, front whose oppressive enthrallment, our illustrious forefathers subsequently eman cipated themselves and their posterity- Unparallelled success had hitherto in variably attended the most desperate ac tions of this man; and his numerous cap tures at length called the attention of the Brittish Governor, who fitted out a vessel for the express purpose of freeing the o- cent) of one who proved so grout a scourge to the commerical interests of Great Brit ain and its dependencies. The command — f __ of this vessel was entrusted to an expert-; doom of death for ail on board.' “need officer, and we sailed from tho IJ- ”‘ nite-i Colonies with orders to let nothing interfere with our time, and duly, until we had accomplished the object of our expe dition. At sunrise on the fifth morning subse quent to our departure, we discovered a vessel to leeward; orders were instantly given to bear down, when after an hour's sail wn discovered tier to lie a forctopsail schooner, lying low iu the water aud sha ping her course South Westerly.

The guns wero loaded and run out of their respective ports, (he magazine illumined, at the log gerheads lighted—the decks cleared, und every thing prepared to execute the work of death. In the meantime tho Buccau- eer was no way backward in imitating our example; ho; vessel wus swung round un til her brondside was brought to boar full upon us, and her decks, which before showed only five or six forms, werb now literally crowded fore and aft;—then or ders were given to commence the notion, and the huge caunons belched forth tltoir iron messengers of rientlt. * " We must board," said our comman der, after a quarter of an hour's cannon ading, in which Do signal advantage was gained by eilhet patty, “ Fill uway, my men, and stund by to heave the grapnels.” The mandate was obeyfed, oittf In a few moments we were lushed, and fought yard arm to yard arm with the bravest nnd most formidable buccaneer that evor ploughed the ocean. The pirates were the first to board; bended by their notorious chieftain, they sprang upon our dock and fiercely assaul ted our seamen; for a long time victory remained undecided, but then the buccan eers began to falter; still they fought baud to hand, and with the infuriated frenzy of mou who had experienced an opposition they did not anticipate; but still.'thn tars of old England met them with all the coolness experience has taught to essential to vic tory. By this time ono half the assail ants lay dead or wouuded upon the deck. Their choering sltofit were still heard, though faihi, and almost drowned by the clash of armband the groans ofthe tvoun ded and dyiu|. Again they faltered and lotreated a pace, but then the voice of their commander was heard above tile ruthless din, urging them to another effort; again they formed, and rushed madly upon our seamen, but they met the same per tinacious opposition as before, and they once more broke Hitd retreated. Al ibis critical moment, when the pirates were retreating step by step from our quarter deck, their chieftain, rushed forward, and cutting a possige with bit sword, sprange down the hatchway, and.rushing Into the light room, seized the burning lamp, then shivering the partition of glass that Separ ated it Irotn the magazine, he entered.— Those upou deck beheld this strange move, ment willi wonder, that can hotter be im agined than described, and both parties simultaneously dropped their wcspdOS lo learn the issue of so strange an adventure. Our edmmander, accompanied by a few of tho officers, immediately descend ed, and the sight that met their astonished gaze was truly terrifying; the buccaneer was standing amongst tho opened powder, with a lighted lamp in Iris tightly clench ed fist, Iris face was bluckonetl, and a stream of blood gushed down his check, front a subre cut in t|ic forehead; with knitted brows and rosolutldn stamped up on his countenadee, he stood regarding those Who began to crowd the light room.

Bat, if iti» people at Georgia have reutly mad;* bp their minds to sacrifice substantial nnd pefurenetit po litical interest!—rights, purchase by the toil, and consecrated by the blood Of their father*— tc thtr paltry Consideration of ddilara and centri, they e- serve to bo slaves, and most certainy will »>e; for, when mat are in the market, they will »lw«yw find purchasers. Public money is a thing to bb husbanded, and with care too; but wliun public men sacrifice principle, Id preserve public money) they forgot their dotjr, nnd betray ihuk constitu ent*. If.the people sanction it, they lieifsyr them selves. Another Objoct, Which these' gentlemen say they have attained, is the reduction oi the housw of representatives, from a disorderly assembly, to one of suitable size, for bosiriMs and for decorum. To what extent iatbiri true I The hbuse it to consist of 144 member*. Reject the amendment, and it will remain, as it new, it) 173. The dificr- ence ia 31. 1 suspect it Will be follUd that these few odd members—about 18 per cent) of the whole—will make little difference in tub Order of the house, or the despatch of bdsineta. An ax* sembly of 144 men, always finder more er lose political eXcitemont; must be rather mobbiih f adding 91 more could make matters very llttl* worse. To attain the object; proposed under this head) the reductied should have bash still gtnaier. These objects, then, hive nbt bees properly ahswered; But, If they hafl beua, they worb not the primary objects ef catling the Con vention. They bad, it it true) their toflUencei but wero only minor considerations. .The thief and primary object was to equalize the repre sentation, by giving each satt of the State it* prop er proportion of power) and no toore ; and to al ter that iniquitous system) which give) td tnoro than forty coutitiea- a representation, Whose annu al pay far exceedtt tbe artouhi of taxes, paid by thoir respective counties td the Treasury. Thexd were the evils, which a great tonjorty of the peo ple expected the Convention to remedy ) and wliit would have been a propor remedy T Stlcb e plant Soroly, as would have toride i ma jority ttftlie Legislature elective by an actual ma jority ofthe people—a plan, that would havw given fb the people weight* at the State Hoose) in proportion lo their weight at hotlia> Thin would have been equalization. Hti WCh 0 plan been offered td est Tho unsWbt Will bit fimnd, io my secdod objection, that, S. So far from rentefeidg touting ends, the plan proposed will increase these. What was the inequality before! In the Sen ate, the targe end email Countiea ware orecisely 1 equal. In the House, every couuty had one re presentative; mid for the additional members, the ratio of increase was ao Urge, as to give to the small counties a moat uniaasooablo advaolago.— Even upoo tbe white basis, this inequality wae enormous. For example, Bryen, Wayne, Glynn and Randolph, having an average white popoU- tion of fear Mtm hundred, were entitled to it is useless »o {par leys willyoi» suffer mu' fvM( one representative eaeh-thntix, to one fbreve- rv wen lw'r*d mhsbitimts.
