Have drawn themselves around this gay altar, '
To celebrate the rites of May’s first morn ? j
Where are those thrice-ten thousand wreaths, I <
Those untold gay and glittering,garlands.
So often twin’d in memory of this day ?
Echo cries where? And, in long years to |.
come,
Other bright eyes and cheerful hearts will
shine
And beat on this same spot; ready to qlftlff
In harmless glee, the pleasures of that feast,
Which now so animates our throbbing hearts.
And they,’and we, and those long pass’d away.
Will constitute lie bloom of that May Day
Which never ends. There is a brighter morn,
for which all other morns were made; beyond
This vale of tears—which. sosn or Lite; will
dawn
Too soon for ns, unless adorn’d in those
Unfading flowers, that spring luxuriant
From the exhaustlcss fields of Gospel Truth.
In one short hou«- these beauteous forms, now
>So much priz’d by us, will droop and wither,
To-morrow, their shining lustre fades away
And their bright gloss will wear the glaze of
Heath.
So, in a time aS biief; will that same blight
Come over us, and to the weeping eyes of
, those
Wo hold most dear, seem like these dying flow
ers.
Oh, then * how should we strive, by nil our
hopes-
Os peace—by all our fears of future woe—
By all those ties of fond patbntal love,
To mould our lives, so that, when pluck’d from
life,
We may become ever-green chaplets
I n the unclouded morn of that May-Day
Which breaks upon a ceaseless, fadeless joy ;
There to bloom where blooms forever brighten;
There to chant anthems that never languish;
There to breathe odours forever fresh’ning
With every fresh choral hymn of praise;
And where these fleeting, perishing delights,
So much endeared to us by social love.
And with such fond and eager zeal pursu’d—
Will only close when Heaven itself shall cease!
FOR THE SOUTHERN WHIG.
“ Yet the best blood, by tear.ing is refined,
And virtue arms the solid mind;
Whilst vice will stain the noblest race,
And the puternal stamp deface.”
The world has perhaps; never produced,
’more promising writers, than are to be found
in Athens.
The atmosphere which we breath, seems to
be peculiarly adapted; to the growth of genius—
The facilities that are here afforded, for the
acquisition of useful knowledge are numeroub
—Candidates for Literary Fame, have every
opportunity, for laying the foundation of future
usefulness, and distinction; and of becoming
bright ornaments of society—Those who neg
lect to reap the rich harvest, and who fail to
drink at the sparkling fount of science; while
all things are propitious, a just and impartial
destiny will ordain, to grope in darkness, and
slumber in obscurity.
Man 'was created for wise and noble pur
poses. It would be incompatible with the im
maculate character of Deity ; to conjecture,
that his rational and intelligent creatures were
cal ed into existence without the best designs
—He has created a world abounding in every
thing, that is beautiful, magnificent, and sub
lime. Every thing that is calculated to please
and to captivate, and to render life sweet.—
And of this world he has constituted man the
monarch; and has imbued him with a spirit
ual existence, which capacitates him to dis
criminate between right and wrong ; and plant,
ed in his bosom a conscience, to which he.shall
be responsible according to his deeds—man
has within his grasp,’the means by which his
mind may be cultivated and improved; histhste
polished end refined, and his sentiments ex
alted—Who so base then, as would abuse
these invaluable gifts? Who so degraded as
would prefer ignorance to knowledge? Who
so ignoble as would cling to vice and eschew
virtue? It is a melancholy fact, that in sur
veying Society', there are some to be found who
‘•love darkness rather than light” and vt ho ate
entirely' destitute of that dignity and nobleness
es soul, that appertains to the human character
—There are doubtless men of genius, of moral
worth, and of spotless reputation i;i all commu
nities ; but as in every garden the weed springs
up, by the side of the vegetable, and as beneath
the Hose that blooms in beauty on its parent
stem, there is a thorn concealed, even in a
well regulated society, where industry is en
couraged, and virtue recompensed, specimens
of vice and corruption are exhibited, fl at de
grade humanity. Some individuals labour
with unrelaxed assiduity, in order to earn an
honest livelihood; while others without any
ostensible mode of living, can prosper and
thrive, and reap a competent support with little
exertion.
“ That equal crimes, unequal fates have found.
And whilst one villain swings; anothers crown
ed.”
There is a class of Individuals, constituting
n component part of society, that deserve a
passing notice.
It is composed of persons whose mental ca
pacities are just sufficient to entitle them to a
Respectable standing in society. They exhibit
in their costume a “ precision and neatness”
indicative of their general character ; and in
»heir conversation and deportment display a
levity and insignificance, quite in couSuuuuco ;
with the feelings of the actor, ,
“Their dress still varying, i.er to forms con- i
fined.
Like the sands they shift, the sport of every }
wind.”
They assume all the characteristics without .
possessing a single quality, that distinguishes ;
the gentleman. In no capacity do they show '
to more advantage than in the drawing Room.
Their conduct in this situation is peculiarly
interesting; and in strict conformity with the
yules of etiquette. First the debut is made
with a graceful bow—then a chat, in which
compliments arc proflisely lavished—next a !
tifUgh, t’f which it may be truly' said
■♦‘That there i. nothing so foolish as the laugh
of fools.”
Then like the tinsel wingel Butterfly, ib<-y
pass from shrub to shrub, sipping sweets from
every' flower, and at* the conclusion of the grand
Panorama, appears the clown
“ In outward show, so splendid and so vain ; j
A gilded block, without wit of brain.”
It is often-times the case that men are ini-sta- '
ken in the estimate that they place upon their i
talents. He who conceives that he possesses |
a talent for prose-writing, occasionally presents !
Io public view a criticism over the august Sig- I
nature of “ Justice” analysing and couctemnittg
the production of a writer who signs himself

cimeiis of composition, i: is difficult Io deter

,-ned a"e. every pedagogue, however humble !
or obscured, has the vanity to'’o!>c< ive him-'
sell a prose-writer and a critic of superior mcr
i, and every “scribbler” fancies himself a |
man of stupendous mind, cap tble of moralizing ‘
boci'etv ; of r gulatieg the conduct of the fair
eex, and of achieving exploits in the Literary •
line’, that will establish his f. pUtation, and ;
make his name to be co.,teamed and despised, 1
bv the wise, -the virtuous and the beautiful of
the Land.
Such is the constitution cf s->c»ety, hint mcr;
are not unfrcquently criminated and censured,
for omitting to do, that which they should have
done, while on the contrary others are calum
niously charged, with committing crimes in
reference to which the plea of “ not guilty”
can be sustained by abundant testimony.—
Then cease ye “ scribbler” and ye critic too,
to fatigue the public with your silly commu
nications. The taste of this community is
not prepared to be insulted, nor are we willing
that its dignity should be.prostrated by assaults
from such a quarter. When the truly scien
tific scholar shall cer se to illuminate the world
—when the Literary taste of the age shall be
corrupted and depraved—when beauty, inno
cence and virtue shall be divested of their
charms, then and not until then may “Justice ’
aud“,a College Scribbler” be brought into no

fallen greatness, and gazing upon the scene of
desolation around them, exclaim in the pleni

WAR WITH MEXICO.
We think that ivar between .Mexico nnd I
the United States, is not at al;’ improbable.
For soma time past, the Mexican squadron
cruising off the coast of Texas, has captured
a number of American vessels trading to the
latter country. The U. S. sloop Natchez, sent
to protectour commerce, has recently captured
a Mexican brig of war, and sent her into
Pensacola as a p rize, as will be seen by refer
ence to our columns to-day. Such acts must
lead to war, and we cannot think that Mexico
is so silly as to.go to war with us single handed;
she must be encouraged by some European
power- Chronicle 4’ Scnlina I.

BLACK CREEK,27th April, 1837.
“The Indians are coming in as fast as can be

going on admiraly. Large numbers of Cattle,

to have caused some excitement, was highly

from being on the spot.* Gen. Jesup deserves
great credit for the manner he has conducted

him.”— Chas. Courier.
Another Slave case.— Officers Nash and
Boudinot, yesterday arrested two persons, a
male and female as fugitive slaves.
The male, Jacob Davis is claimed by Mr.
Goodenough of N. C., the female Margaret
McGuire by Mr. Harman of Virginia.
They both acknowledged themselves to be
slaves and were ordered to bo delivered to
their respective owners.
After this decision had been made, the abo
litionists got notice of the affair and have insti
tuted legal proceedings, which will cause much
delay, expenses, and trouble; Their end seems
to be to make every slave claimed cost more
than his worth in law expenses.

PRESENTMENTS gF THE GRAND

In the further discharge of their duty, the

: hough it may not be considered strictly within
the range oftheir judicial duty, to notice in a
special, though respectful manner, the appoint

it of great importance to them,that its Adminis

reput: tion arc unsullied by any high offences
known to the laws of the land. I i the delib

an office so honorably and respectable as that

pretend not to say, charged upon that individ

country, must as we are fully persuaded, have
been known, to some extent to the power that
I conferred the appointment, long before it was

Loss of the ship Star, ( apt. 3. E. Glover, >
of New York, on her passage from Liverpool!
to New Orleans. I
April 15th. at 11 o’clock P. M. the Star I
struck the reef on the east end of the island
of Great Caymano, and in a few hours bilged
and became a total wreck. No lives lost, and
most of the dry goods saved, but in a damaged
3 t nt e—bat only about 20 casks of salt out of
1750 were saved, having thrown overboard
about 1000 casks in endeavoring to gel the
ship off. The loss of the ship was entlr-.ly
owing to the strong and irregular currents a-•
bout those islands, Which set the ship 30 miles .
out of her course in twelve hours.
Capt. Glover’s family, the officers, passen
gers, and part of the crew of the Star, arrived
here late this evening in the schooner West In

chief officer of the St ir, died on the 29. h oi .

From the N. O. True American, May 5.
We received yesterday, byway of the river,
a letter from our Louisville correspondent,
giving us gloomy accounts from the West.
The troubles are beginning to be felt in Cin
cinnati and Louisville. Confidence is rapidly
on the wane. It is a singular fact, and ought
to be remembered by all, that the banks have
been the very first to feel the pressure. By
their conduct, they inform the commercial
community that it exists—then comes alarm,
panic, tec. Such has been the case in the j
Western capitals. In the midst of difficulties ’
here, every body was chuckling in the cities ;
above named, that the storm would nd! reach !
those points. No sooner, how eve-, than the
banks began to feel the effects of the disasters
in New York and New Orleans, the alarm
flew like lightning through the community.
Our dates from Louisville and Cincinnati
are to the 26th April—and from St. Louis to
the 25th. The depression is beginning to bo
felt tho’ it was not general. The people of those
great cities know not w hat to expect. They
are trembling for tha result. 'When the fail
ure of the Dicks here shall have had time to
be known extensively in that part ofthecoun
try, disasters will come to us. Private credit
follows in the wake of bank credit, for it is
secondary in its power.
Transactions have been limited in each of
the Western cities to merely the wants of the
country round,

Wall Street—One o’clok. —We can rea
dily believe that our readers must be as weary
of hearing from us daily, that commercial and
money affairs are in no better condition, as we
are of repeating it. Nevertheless, we still
hold to the opinion that there is nothing to be
gained by attempting to disguise the truth and
that even silence is censurable.
The aspect of things to day is still worse
aid worse. There is no business doing—and
apparently no prospect of a change, except to
more general ruin. Wall street is thronged,
but the frequenters do but interchange anxious
looks and forebodings df evil; while the marts
■ of commerce are deserted, as they were in the
days of cholera. The number of failures yes
terday, including some for very heavy amounts,;
and not including many for sums comparative
ly trifling, is twenty one, and the aggregate is
two hundred and ninety.
The intelligence from the South is more and
more gloomy. A very largo failure at New
Orleans has taken place—produce of all ki»<!;
is filling rapidly in price—the banks " re p a y.
ing2 1-2 percent ftt sncqle—and as for rais
ing money on Gtther paper or property it seems
‘o bo utterly out of the question. A letter
from New Oilcans says that many of the steam
boats in the Mississippi are about laying up,
there is so little business doing; and that sev
eral have been seized for debt.
Slocks. — Sales were mttde to-day of 110
shares United States, commencing at I('4 and
closing at 102, six per cent, below the only sale
of yesterday ; Delaware and Hudson corn
‘ menced at 51 and left off at 53, within 1-2 per
ct. of yesterday’s prices ; Farmer’s Trust clos
ed at 75 1-2. an advance of 1 1-2 per cent; ;
Boston and Providence at 86,2 1-2 per cent, i
advance ; Phenix Bank remained steady nt 80, ’
and 200 shares Utica, on time, sold at ioi.
The run upon the Mechanics’Bank has en- I
tirelv ceased. No sales were made in the |
stock ofthat i’lstitutioii, but ten per cent more j

Puh'lC. zqe far’, fns performance is its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that with
new moulds and inexperienced hands, it made
at the rate of two thousand three hundred and
sixty-eight brick per hoiir. By moulding' ten
hours in the day, it would therefore turn out
twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.—
It requires six boys to bear off', and ’four to sand
the moulds, &ctogether with four grown ;
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.
