I'll think of thee, when I am fat.
Away from thee and thine,
Thy memory like a distant star
Around rny path will shine ;
And though my glance may still impart
Its wonted light andglee,

That is not linked-wait thee,.
I’ll sigh for. thee, vtTieh glances soft
Are melting into mine
And other lips shall whitper oft
The love now breath’h by thine— ■
And tho’ I smile and leok as gay
As those whose-hearts are free,
My own will waste itself away
In mournful sighs for the?,
I'll dream of thee, at even-tide
When stars are bright above,
When thro’ the mind sweet memories glide
And all is peace and love; —
Then voices hush'd and glances past
Will softly steal to me,
As rosy sleep shall round me cast
Those soothing dreams of thee.

THE HARP.
It was the first week of the honey-moon.
Neither sordid calculation, nor yet a mere pas
sing fancy, had led to the marriage of Edward
Sellner and his young bride. No—their bond
of union was a pure and glowing affection,
proved by timo a*l consecrated by many tri
als.—They had early known and appreciated
each other, but the long delay of an expected
official appointment had compelled Sellner to
postpone the realization of his wishes. At
length the much.desired commission came,
and, on the follow ing Sabbath, he led his be
loved maiden to her new home, a bride. The
tedious days of coremonv and festivity over,
the happy pair were left *.® pass the pleasant
summer evenings in the sweet communings of
their pure and confiding hearts. Little plans
fortheir future life, Edward’s flute and J«se
jjiia’sbarp, served to fill up hours which flew
but too rapidly away, and the deep harmony
of their instruments seemed to them a friendly
r *”fo--ge of that deeper accord which was to
their wedded years. One evening, after

evidently fast fading away. Api - found mel.
ancholy had succeeded the violence of despair,
and a sitent sorrow consecrated tho memory
of the loved and lost. He had left Josepha’s
apartment just as it was before her death.
Her work still laid upon the table, and her
harp remained untouched in its accustomed
place. Taking his flute, Sellner every even
ing made a pilgrimage to this sanctuary of
his love, and leaning against the window as in
happier times, breathed in plaintive tones his
aspirations for the spirit of the departed. On
one occasion he was standing thus in Josepha’s
chamber —a clear moon shone thro’ the win
dow, and a watchman upon the tower of a
neighboring castle was proclaiming the ninth
hour—when suddenly the harp, as if touched
by some invisible spirit, poured forth the most
thrilling tones, in harmony with those of his
flute. In the confusion of his surprise he ceas
ed to play, and lo! the harp also became silent.
Recovering his self-possession, he tremblingly
commenced Josepha’s favorite air, and again
the melodious tones of the harp blended in
sweet response. Sinking to the earth in a
paroxism of joy, and spreading out his arms to
encircle tbe beloved shade he felt a breath as
of warm vernal air upon his lips, while a pale
and glimmering light seemed to flit before him.
Glowing with ecstacy, he cried: “I recognise
thee, blessed shade of my Josepha! Tunu
!, tdidst promise that thy faithfull spirit should
S&pyerjjJiMtf-me; thou hast kept thy word; I
?yfeel thee near ftie; I feel thy breath on my lips!”
\ln a state of indescribable exultation he seized
fluteagain, and again the answering tones
of the harp were heard, but constantly fainter
and fainter.uuti! their whisperings were lost in
expiring harmonies. Sellner’s vital powers
were fearfully excited by the spirit-greeting of
this evening; he threw himself restlessly upon
his bed, and in all his feverish dreams the
sweet whisperings of the harp were continu
ally heard. He awoke late, wearied and ex.
hausted by the phantasies of the night—he felt
that his whole being was strangely affected,
and became strongly impressed that his disso
lution was approaching. With impatient
longing he awaited the return of evening, and
With confident hope again repaired to Josepha’s
chamber. By the aid of the flute, he had sue
ceeded in lulling himself into a state of dreamy
repose, when the ninth hotfr had struck.
Hardly had the last stroke of the clock ceased
lo vibrate, when the harp began its soft and
low responses to the flute, its tones gradually
increasing in strength, until they swelled into
‘ the most full and perfect harmony. When
the flute became silent, the spirit-tone ceased;
the pale, tremulous light again flitted about
him. and iq/iis beatitude he could only exclaim:
“Jesepha, Josephal take, oh take me to your
faithful bosom!”
This timo also, the spirit took its departure
in low and murmuring tones, which were
lost in inaudible vibrations. Sellner
Xred back to his own room, still mors affect
\n on the previous evening. His faithful
allocked at his muster’s appear-
ir.ee, and in<defi:xnco of his pn.lnbition hasten
ed for the physician, who happened. to bo one
ofSellner’s most intimate friends. the phy
sician found him in a high fever, with symp
toms similar to iliQse of Josepha, but mu>.n
more decided. The fever increased thro the
night, during which he continually raved oi
Josepha and the haip. 1 the morning,hp
was more composed; the struggle was pash
and he felt that his release was near, lie dis
closed to his friend the occurrences of th* two
evenings, and no arguments cotnd shake his
belief in them. As the evening approached
he gradually grew more feeble, and at last,
with a trembling voice; entreat* d to be con.
veyed to Josepha’s ajftutment. U s vish was
gratified. He glanced about the room with
sweet serenity, greeted wiili silent tears every
object which reminded him of Josepha. and
spoke with a calm, but firm conviction, as the
ninth hour as that of bis death. As tho deci
sive moment approached, he took Icav* of ms
friends, and requested all, save Iks physician,
to retire.—They were left alono—the ninth
Lour struck —Sellner’s palejeaturas lighted

cried, “Josepha, greet me once more on my
departure that 1 may feel thv’pcsence and
overcome death with thy love!”' Immediate,
ly the harpstrings resounded with a loud and
triumphant harmony, and a faint wavering
light, encircled the dying man. J come, 1

conflict with life. Softer and fainter breathed
the harp.tones, until, with his expiring breath,
the strings suddenly burst 3£iu»dei--and all
was still. Overwhelmed with- emotion; the
physician left the house; and it was long before

The Way is Open io all.— Muss Martineau,
in her recent work on this country, says that
the only unhappy young gentlemen in our Nor
thern States, are those vv ho are born to a for
tune. Well, there is< more truth than poetry”
in this. Eetthcse who have no other fortune
than their bands think ol it, 'lhere is a tree
road open to them. Almost every great name
that has adorned the world has been won by
personal effort—unaided by the fortuitous pow
er of wealth, or the mushroon force of birth.
Young men of our country go up this road.
Go up it by your own exertions, for you will
never ascend by any other. Rely upon noth
ing, for all else may fail you.
To our contemplation, there is no spectacle
more worthy of admiration than a virtuous
young man, advancing himself in the esteem
of the good and worthy, by his own exertions.
His industry is unceasing—his deportment
modest and unassuming. His principles are
fixed—his integrity unflinching. Ho practi
ces the cardinal virtues for the love of them, ;
and others love him for their practice. He
should meet kindness on every hand. Man
kind are interested in his success, for he may
become the depository of the power which
our fathers exercise. He may sit in the high
places—giving laws to tho country and wis
dom to the age.
We would not destroy the hey-day of our
youth There is a natural buoyage in youth,
that should be indulged. 'But it should be
cherished only in useful, innocent, refined
amusements. Amid the intelligent society of
virtuous females, young men should seek re
laxation from the cares of the. irounting-house,
and the toils of the work-shop. Here will
their affections be purified, and their manners
refined. If the matron of the mansion ap
prove it, let the young join the merry'dance to
win invigorating relief to their physical powers,
Young men, shun, as you would the plague,
those who deride the society ot virtuous fe
males. There is a moral pestilence in the
vevy-Htmosphere they breathe. I f they’ loved
virtue, they vt-v-wilqye virtuous society. It is
a true proof that they' Know ,I, -..olvpij too
we )l to enter where virtue and refinement
alone diffuse their effulgent light. Seek soci
ety above yourself, but enter not that which is
beneath you, either in intelligence, refinement,
or virtue.
More young men are ruined in our cities, by
bad association, than from all other causes com.
bined. When the novice enters a coterie, he
soon catches the prevailing spirit. If drinking
and carousing prevail, he drinks and carouses.
He will not be laughed at because he cannot
swallow as much wine as his fellows, and if
they partake of “the strong drink that maketh
mad,” he shows his strength of head in swal
lowing the same potations. If others gamble
he gambles. As they descend to fho lowest
vices, in a spirit cf bravado, he sinks down
with them—even to the very lowest depths of
pollution-—until he hangs upon society, a pest
and a nuisance; instead of an honor and an
ornament, as he might have been, had he not
met ruin in the bewildering, contaminating,
blighting influences of pernicious associations.
When we behold a young man capable of
resisting all such temptations, we watch his
steps in profound admiration. We look upon
him as a bright promise to human liberty.
Morality shall hail him her champion. Reli
gion will exult in his defence. He shall sit in
tho high places of the Republic—and his name
shall endure,
When monumental marble

MAJOR NOAH’S NOTIONS OF ETI
QUETTE.
“Our ladies and gentlemen have yet
much to learn, or rather unlearn, when
they leave home to enjoy tbe change of
air in a large hotel or watering place,
which receives guests from every quarter
and of different -classes. They should
lock up formality, stiffness and etiquette
with their useless plate, and leave them in
their boudoir as unnecessary lumber out of
the precincts of the city.' They should be
lively cheerful, gay, social, convertible,
and accessible to all—straingers to none
domicilliated in the same house, whose
dress and manners bespeak them respecta
ble; there should be no classification—no
clique—no priority-no special distinctions;
it should be free,—open, and above board
—all should, eat.drink, dance, sing, and be
happv alike,—as it is, to our knowledge, at
Bathj Brighton, and all the fashionable wa
tering places in Europe. It is enough
that in the city we are compelled to ob
serve certain rigid laws of etiquette, with
out carrying these still rules with us in the
green fields™under the blue canopy; on
the dancing waves; in the cottage or the
Favilhon. Nature must at times be unla
ced, and have free scope for feeling; friend
shi'p; unrestrained courtesies; in the prac
tice of graciousness kindness, modesty and
condescensipn. “Who is| that| charming
looking ladff”—‘{She is from Virginia” “I,
should like fc have a chat With her; to race
up and dowii the piazza; she looks so ami
able; but it won,t do; 1 have not been in
troduced to her.” What nonsense.’by tho
bye, there should be a kind of Beau Nash
at all these fashionable watering places—a
good natured, amiable, sensible, polite
middle-aged gentleman, who shall have all
the privileges of introducing parties to each
other—who shall cater fi»r tfieiramusement, [
adjnsi their disputes, and see t! at th-w are i
all made happy and comfortable. Such a
person would bo an invaluable acquisition
to such places.”

From the American Farmer,
’E'uJC Mlorcfls e£’i
September 11'.’i, 1822.
j Mr. Editor,
I wish th.it sonieofyour who
have more leisure and more ability than myseli.
would take into consideration the subject o;:
which I shall submit a few desultory remarks,
i If the morals of agriculture serve not such
attention on account of their importance, the
' subject is at least wori’qthe notice, and isj>ro
( p.erly within the province, of all an: hors of ad-
I ctrcsses to agricultural societies. Most of <nese
1 gentlemen appear to be so much “t “ I° S9 ’“J
i subjects, that their addresses womd not bo bad
ly designated hy the title of "Essays mgeiirt
' ral.” I, therefore, recommend this subject to
i any person intending to prepare an annual ad
(tress., unless really should hove somcthi.-g
I i else To lay Before his society and the public.
Tho Hindoos believe that whoever plants a
'J tree, digs a well, and begets a child, is sure ol
admission into heaven. As ridiculous as this
part of their religious creed may appear, ii
shows the wisdom of their priests and rulers
by whom it was instilled —who thus brought
the strongest motives to induce every individ
ual to increase the productiveness, population,
and wealth of his country. V» hen our ances
tors emigrated from Europe, they wisely left
behind them all their elfs, fairies, goblins, &c.,
and as it is impossible that we canjong re
main as we now are, free from popular super
stitions, it would be a blessing to our posterity
if we were to adopt, as one, tho Hindoo tenet,
so modified as to suit our different situation.
We have no want of growing trees, norot
fresh water; and all experience proves that
children will always be furnished fully as fast
as the food necessary for their support. Po
pulation is always precisely’ proportioned to. or
i limited by, the means of subsistence, and in an
agricultural country, must increase with the
! improvement of the soil, and decrease with its
’ | exhaustion. The farmer who mafcSs his land
i capable of producing annually 500 busbids of
J grain more than before his improvements com.
menced, increases permanently the population
; of his country, by’ as many persons as his in
! creased product will support. Another, who
i spends his life in reducing the fertility of his
| soil by tho same amount, diminishes popula
i tiou as much ; and that diminution is more ef
fectual and permanent, than if he had confined
. his exertions to cutting twenty throats of every
successive generation,
“To increase and multiply” is a divinecam
il m ind—and perhaps is the only command
-I which all persons strive to their utmost ability
|to obey. But though, the iujwhl means may
! be the most agreeable, I beseech your rcaqjys
I tto believe tljHt thoy are_fiir from, the most es
, j fectual. It is true, that no harvest can be re’ap
’ ; ed unless seeds are first sown ; but every child
( i knows that it is not the greatest number of
I grains planted which ensures the heaviest crop
’ < of corn, but the means afforded for the support
’ i of ths plants, by the degree of fertility in the
, i soil. Just so with population. Only let bread,
j { or the means of obtaining bread, be increased
s J in any country, and its population will soon be
3 equal to the increased supply of food. On the
t j contrary, if bad farming, or bad policy in the
j government. lessen the production of food, the
3 j inevitable consequence must be a diminished
■ population. These positions (which every
I sound political economist will sustain) show
i w hat vast effects the labors of a single iisdi
| vidual may have on the welfare of his coun
-3 j try ; and what beneficial effects might be pro
r: duced, if it was believed (more especially by
’ ail law’-makers,) that he who directly or indi
rectly lessens the productiveness of the earth,
p is guilty of a sin, which, if more pardonable
j I’than murder, is far more injurious to the coun
; try’, and more destructive of its population, than
, I would be many’ murders.
. i But seriously—this subject deserves to be
t ; reflected on by all ; it will give additional grat
ideation and encouragement to the improving
. { farmer, and furnish an impressive lessen to him
( | who is pursuing a contrary course. It would
t : be visionary to expect that the public good,
alone, would induce improvement of’the land
at the sacrifice of private interest. Nor would
p it be desirable. A farmer can mno way do
3 as much good for his country, as by pursuing
j precisely that course which is most profitable
to himself. But though many attempts to in
crease the fertility of the soil are ill-judged,
s yet there arc means enough whi< h are profi
-3 table ; and there is no case in which the own
er of a farm, can be most benefited by its ex
haustion. The many’, then, who waver be
tween the two opposite cases, could-scare: Iv
remain uninfluenced by the moral considera
tion, that on the course offarmiug which shall
be pursued by each individual, tho comfort,
nay, even the existence of thousands of hu
man beings will depend.
1 For the purpose of illustration, I will com
* pare tha course of two cultivators of my ac
, quaintance. N , a farm mid
r stock, capable of w g an industri-
I ous and economical mao, but which, if left to
! the sole management of an overseer, and treat
i ed according to the then usual practice, would
f not have paid the expense of cultivation for
» many years. Fqrtunately he knew what course
would most promote his interest. For thirty
; years, he has not ceased striving to make two
, blades of grass, where one only grew before,
and he’has met with the success which his
exertions deserved. Ho rejected all improve
ments (improperly so called) which prordised
j not to return some clea> profit on the capital
invested, but considered no improvement too
! laborious or expensive, from which he could,
I icith certainty, derive the principal and interest
■ ot the first cost. He bought no land which he
i was not fully able to stock, or that would not
■ yield more clear profit, on the purchase mo
- ney, than he could have obtained jjtom invest
: lug the in making improve-
I meets land already in his possession.
> At by means of improvement ol the
. seif, and extended tillage, he makes crops six
. times greater than when he commenced.—
Though N , has promoted
I the public weal, it was without caring for it:
t his views were exclusively directed to the ad
i vancement ofhis own private interest. He is
« obedient to tho laws of his country, and just
' and honest in al! his dealings, because he
knows that such is his best policy; but in no
case does he allow his interest to yield to that
> of others, and perhajwjjicvcr performed an act
i of real generosity iiOiis lite,
i F ,is directly’ the reverse of N .in
disposition, character, and habits. Indolent,
and having no fondness for farming, his bust,
i ncss has been entirely conducted by his over-
Southern Chig.

i which v- ry njtiir.dly govern such gentry, th :y
have cxhni'SA'd his a -d as fast as they could

w hich their employer possessed, prevented him

as a G pri .cip-iHy. By these
means, his am.ti: 1 craps are not mater: -lly’les

does not obtain two per cent, from his capital,

J taken into c .nsideratinn. It is ei idont how o- >
v r, ttiat the mode «f cultivation p srsuwl by ,
F ,is merely abstracting the wii i'e fortil- j
iiy of one field, in th? form of tobacco, wk:??, j
and coni, and applviw it to anotlier Litho form '
of mircbiao mmwy. "’as slid ( >ft/m fa- ,
n ,' u s coaquercf destroyer, “that J
the censed to grow wh re h:s Imrsc p i- ,
ccd bis foot,” applies with more truth to my j
friend F . Notwithstanding Li' >mwy vir-
tues, he has to the full st extent which his I

of grain, and consequently, ot men. b amine
m uch s after him, and will not commit the |
less havoc becanso lie himsJf is able to keep |
beyond her reach.
F . is remarkalJe for biskitidncss and li- I
beralitv to the poor. Besides frequent occa- [
sional acts ot charity to others, he.has long :
supported several families, who would perish j
without such aid. I know how to estimate |
the motives, ai d according to them,to respect I
those two individtia’s. But their private vir
tues and vices, have nothing to do with my
subject, except so far as the consequences of
them affect the public good. F , supports
by his benevolence, twenty persons, and has
destroyed tho means of subsistence for 500,
which in effect, is equal to starving, or pre.
venting the existence of as many. N ,
has given nothing in charity, but has given in
the wages of labor more than F ’s wages
and alms together: he has increased the pro.
duction of the earth enough for food for 500
persons, and therefore he kas increased popu
lation to that amount, though net at all by the
Hindoo mode, as he has no children. It is
very true that these people must work to cb
tain N ’s increased product; and so much
the better. His improvements will not die
with him. nor will the corporeal powers ofthis
laboring population, and their descendants or
successors which wiH eputinuo to earn and
consume it. The coontry is not benefited on
ly by having its, population increased by 500
persons if they were all drones, they would
rather be an evil. But the people who eat
N— ; —’s corn are field laborers, mechanics,
manufactures, sailors, and merchants, all of
whom are continually increasing the national
wealth by thi’-ii' industry, as well as its strength,
by their numbers. F ’s charity has serv-
ed not only to support several families, but lias
doubled their number, by the births which have
taken place since they partook of his bounty.
After his death, they must still be supported
bv others, or starve. They are not able to add
any thing by their labor to the public stock,
and thofigh the childrco w’dl hereafter be able,
their present situation is the worst of all schools
to acquire habits of industry. Were all our
boldera like N , the ? v ndnnpu.
lation of the state would quickly be-douulerL
- Were all like F , with all his virtues, wealth
and population would rapidly diminish, until
the country became a desert. Thousands are
pursuing the ruinous course of the la'ter ; very
few cultivate so as alike to increase the nation
j al resources and their own.
My opinion on this subject, taught me to ex
pect but little increase in the population of Vir
ginia, and not to bo disappointed in the report,
of the last census, which shows a ga.in of but
I ten per cent, in the last ten years. But for
the recently awakened spirit of agricultural
improvement, (the impulse to which, we ow>
principally to the- author of Arator,) I think
that the tide-water district would have suffer
ed a considerable diminution. As much va
’ cant land as this district contains, there is but
little uncultivated, (which until enriched) will
yield any clear profit. Therefore, eastern
’ V’irgiiiia, in its present state, is fully populated,
and no increase can be expected except, from
' the improvements of thessil, and the consequent
increased means of subsistence. We export
provisions, it is true ; this may nt first seem to
indicate a surplus of the means for subsistence,
and a fund for additional population. But such
■ a conclusion would be.incorrect. Our surplus
' food is exchanged for clothing and other com
modities, which in fact, or from custom, arc as
1 necessary as sufficient food. Our only conso
lation is, that our excess of population emi
grates to the west; instead of starving, as in
’ most fully populated countries.
If private individuals can exert so-much in
fluence on the population and strength of their
country, how much more extensive must be
’ that of the government! A member of the le
gislature, by a single vote, may retard popu
lation more than by destroying the productive
ness of all the land in his possession. A sin
’ gle bad law, which cramps ingenuity and in
dustry, or destroys th- ir honest gains, or what
j is worse, puts them into others’ pockets, caus
es more poverty and depopulation than a thou
’ sand exhausting cultivators. Many are the
sins ofthis description, which have been com
mitted by our legislatures, both state and fede
ral ; it is enough to name as examples, the
i protecting duty policy, banking, and laws for
1 the compulsory support ofthe poor. '1 he last,
though not the least of such evils, will hereaf
ter become the heaviest. Poor laws impose
i taxes and penalties on honest industry, and of
fer rewards for idlene extravigance, drunk
enness, and debauchery—and their inevitable
consequence will be to increase those vices,
until their support shall nave absorbed the
' whole income ofthe industry ofthe nation.
’ England has already drjiwn near to that dread
’ ful situation, and with her example before us,
«e are pursuing tho same course to the same
end.

rip HE undersigned, late editor and proprietor
pf.thc Augusta Chronicle, having the exten
sive business of that establishment to clbse,
and conscious from long experience, how much
such a facility is needed, at least by the Press,
is disposed to connect with it a General Agency
Tor the collection of Newspaper and other Debts,
■ in this and the neighboring Southern States.
and will travel almost continually to present
them himself. Should the business offered be
sufficient, the agency will be made a permanent
one—and while his long connection with the
Press and consequent knowledge of its peculiar
s requisitions and benefits from such an Agency,
and his extensive personal acquaintance with
the localities and people of the country, afford
peculiar facilities for the performance of its du
ties, he trusts that suitable enquiries will leave
s no doubt of and faithful attention to
I them.

Ofthe matter' three-fourths (say 225
shrill consist of regular Reviews-, making about |
9of 25 pp. each. These must,as literary worka "
at least, return as a general rule, somewhat to- |
wards that older method, now almost forgotten ?
and give a regular analysis of the book reviewed,
it it be of any merit. In Politics and upon Oc
casional Topics, there may be a greater li.berty >
ofdeviating into mere disquistition.
In this portion of the Review, there wm bo
given, in each No. a paper historical of th«s
Politics and general events of the day; to
serve as a Historical Register. Its execution
will alway be committed to the.strongest bands ”
only; and its purpose, to give a unity and eon- »
sistency to the Public Doctrines ofthe Review
euch as can scarcely be so well effected in anjjf |
other •manner.
Occasional Retrospective Reviews will also b«f
I embodied in this part ofthe plan, with, a view
of favoring, in a certain degree, the more curU
I ous studies; or to revive tbe knowledge of im
portant books, forgotten in the confusion of
i modern learning.
Writers will be led, of regular purpose to giva
their papers, wherever the subjec; will
the form of a Series; in older not only that they
may thus afford a completer body ofinformation,
serve, also, to re-print apart, for popular circu-
■ b.t'iv v metluel tj. it null miieli niMjymt
the reputation and usefulness of t-he Review.
i A body of Miscellanies(suy some 50 pp.) win
form the subordinate and more amusing part
of the Journal. Its contents will be somewhat
various; but will, for the most part, consist of
short Literary Notices; Bibiiograpical Articlest
a critical list of New Piiblicalions, foreign am> -
domestic, and general Literary, Intelligence. . ’ ’
In Communications, the most compressed
mode of writing will be every where reqmred_
Papers, in which the works do not bear a just.'l
proportion to the information conveyed or the I
effect intended, will be either rejected, without' 1
scruple, or abridged, without mercy.
To warrant this exaction, the usual rate of
compansation to writers will be advanced to
2 1-2 dollars per printed page; a price that will
offer fair remuneration to the talents and labor
which we wish to secure.
Ofthis revival of a Review of the South, the |
purpose is, to give once more to our region, (now
eminently needing it) an Interpreter and a Do- '
fender; the common Representative of our In
stitutions, and ofthe Mind itsef among us. Such
in that great Congress of Opinion, where the
fates of civilized nations are ;iow so largely
settled, we do not possess and w® have already j
suffered much for it. It is tinieto make odf
selves understood and respected there. The 1
Journal which shall do this, must combine the
general strength ol all who, throughout tho ;
South, love the country, and are capable of
doing it intellected service. It must, then, be,
not the champion or the propagandist of local
opinions, butthe friend of all that pursue the
public good. Into the vulgar m< foods of Poli
tics, debased by Partizan rancour, or
by the interest, or overborne by- the populawl
passion ofthe hour, it must not fall.—Frofn gr'
the pride of the Nullifier "tnuts leceive njjyijj
minution,the fidelity of tin Uiiioiiis no
—lt must be no vantage-ground to
nor serve but as an equal field, where *
only contend which shall most
cause of the South, and of that older
of Jeffersonian State Rights, avowed
parties alike, and now the only hope of relflUUl
and of rescuing the country.
• To vindicate, than, our pecular Instituitons i
to rebel with argument, lest presently we be!
forced to rebel with arms, all interference with?’'
our domestic condition; against the wild rule-:
of mere Chance and Corruption, -to uphold an
Republican and Federative, as distinguished;
from a Democratic and Consolidating aiiminis- $
*ra|ion (ulministration ofthe National affairar
from the disorders of the Central government—-
\V here Reform Is hopeless and even useless,

i talents of the country, which has been set
I foot, in the present undertaking. . j
Os its critical purposes,it is not necessary
' speak so minutely. In general, it will ofcoufse
> strive to guide foe popular taste towards the
best •sources, in Knowledge, and tbe truest
models in Elegant Letters. Its judgments will
however, found themselves upon dent of his
• temporary renown, nor that of fiis birth on
■ this or the other side of the Atlantic. Towards
. the few good writers, that want of cultivation
1 has yet permitted us to have, in America, it wiL
know how to be respectiul. Butjn Literature,
as lately in Trade, we shall insist that no tnnn’s
bad commodity be forced upon us, under pat.
riotic pretences. Upon all that school of wri- |
levs, whose works, fi r want of every ollier'l
