The sun now rose usheting in the
most beautiful morn, when we put
off on our way to the next village
on our rout, it is that season of the
year when nature is most fascinating
and beautiful to man. The soft anti
gentle breezes, the pure cerulean
translucence of the celestial vault,
in which the sun new-burnished
seemed suspended, whitening by
excessive radiation the circular
spaces around him, the song of
bird, the bursting of every bud, the
Voice of the plowman and the fresh
furrowed fields, all seemed to pro
claim that Winter with her dark
days had retired to her native pro
vinces of the North, and the earth
was released to her wanted luxu
riance and voluptuousness, and man
and beast, to the active enjoyment
cf existence. The fences which for
months had been neglected, were
now rapidly undergoing repair, the
fruit trees were about being stripped
of their superfluous branches, and
every thing seemed taking on tin
lorn; and attitude of exertion and
production. Man every where ap
peared consulting with nature, and
arranging and organizing her power
lor the means of his existence and
enjoyment. To the seething bo
som of the earth, moist and warm* d
with the pure light streaming from
the sun, be was carefully commit
ting the seeds, whose product in th
coming year is to spread his table
with nourishing food, around which
he is to behold the little creature
s ■ ung from the affections of his,
heart, and her, whose virgin blurb's
»n I natural attraction of form and
3.. aliment first called forth those ai
fections. Than in the fields not less
activity and wxertiou appeared go
ing ou in. the immediate vicinity of
ch dwelling in the organization and
of matters more in(i
tnately domestic, which, though
more humble, arc not less necessar.
to general happiness and enjoyment.
From the grave of’ winter there was
suddenly a new resurrection of ac
tion, noise, and bustle, winch spread
like contagion from farm to tai tn, and
were universal.

infb etice, which the sun exerts in

Such is the influence, which deba
tative politics exerts upon the con
versational key of a people’s voice.
Some spoke in high praise of the
acts and administration of the reign
ing governor, others replied in vehe
ment indignation. I was much pleas
ed with the civility and suavity of
the manners of a gentleman, who ap
proached me, where I had set down
a moment to rest, in the piazza of
one of the Inns Drawing up his
chair near me he address! d m« in
a tone of voice above the usual
standard with perfect good humour
in his countenance. I aaturaly ex
pected the subject would be politics,
but I soon discovered my mistake
It Nvas the theory of electricity, up
on which I was now to hear a dis
cussion, a theme nearly allied in its
temperament to the one which 1 had
anticipated. The preordium was,
delivered in a bold fluency of speech
and the periods whirled ofl with
strong emphasis. Throwing off the
trammels of the schools, and the
heavy hurgage of its axioms, I w;.-s
not a little amused at his natural
way of philosophising; he ascended,
in a moment light and buoyant to
first causes, leaving the way dogmat
ically dear behind him, along which
his way worn auditor was carried ■
It was plea ant enough after a day «
ride, unusually worn for the season,
to be so suddenly hoisted up in the
ba'b'on of his arguments into th '
cool region ofthe cloud’s the nativi
ty of electricity. The condensation
of’the electric fluid in the body el
the cloud was the cause of its rapid
Juscension rotlie earth or upon ter
restrial objects. On my venturing
to nome doubt reap effing
thr< solidity of this part Gt his ihto.'jj,
i saw his countenance Bud’Jce'y ani
mated with a Mag.udr.3 of fresh ar
guments, his ideas seemed to vege
tate apace on the bare semblance ol
opposition. This oppo' ition, 1 said
to myself, is the fire, winch burns ii.

Statesman
MONDAY APRIL 16, 1827.
The prospect of a new President. — As the
time draws near far the election of a president
ofthe United States, the popularity of Gener
al Jackson increases. Accounts from all
parts of ti.e Union attest Use fact that a gener
al dissatisf iction exists as to the manner by
which Mr. Adams obtained the Presidential
Chair. The election of a President by Con
gress in any event is and we hope ever v.iii be
unpopular; the result cf the last election has
proved that tiie Constitution in that respect is
defective. The Electors who voted for Gen
eral Jackson in the last election represented
many thousands more of our fellow-citizens
than did those who voted for Mr. Adams,
yet Mr. Adams was made president, and in a
manner pointed out by the constitution, therc
j fore we say the constitution needs aniend
i merit, for as it now is, have al-
I lowed the few to rule the many.
i The popularity of General Jackson rests
j on a solid foundation which cannot easily be
• shaken; iiis intrin-ic worth, Ids n itive talents,
land the super-cininai.t st rvjccs which he'b.as
rendered bis country, poiut him or.t as a man
deserving the highc"'. honors a ;rce people can
bestow. Tt has been sari that “Republics an
ungrateful,” —if their gratitude is slow, it is
sure. Tiie Revolutionary S<ddiers of our re
public waited long for tiie gratitude ol our
country,—they now enjoy a pension for life. —
More than forty years passed away before the
gratitude of our country was bestowed or her
benefactor La Fwjettt. Twelve years since
General Jackson by a masterly effort saved
the fairest portion of our country from disgr- co.
rapine and blood. It required a Jackson v. .th
only a handful of untaught Miiiri". to destrov
urilish ,lr:mf' Tiie gratitude
of our Republic awaits the Hero.
The Coal'tim. — 'Ve in-an not the c.oaii'im.
of Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, but the coalition
of a lew desperate, Ambitious men, in d.c
jn 'he South ai d Wes’, a Lose object appears
;<> be a division ofthe Slat-s. Evidane of
such a coai.tion exists, an t is increasing dai
ly; and in the train of dm ‘/ending cn*,’ are
many honest but deluded men, who re effi
cient in bolstering them up i:. .heir unholy
work. .More, evidence anon— we shall watch
t ieir movements. —It. may require even the
abilities and energy of Jaclsun to defea’ their
designs. —

I'i.e greatest part of the beautiful
v.rl'ey f, t Grotovo was
a barren desert by tin immense tor
rents ot water that rolled down from
the mountains, j-weepirig before them
lands houses, cattle and hu
man beings ' To form a just idea
ot the dumage duno it requires tu
l»'ve a knowledge of the particular
formation of lhe island ! but suffice
it to say. lt.at at lea-t lands to the
value u? $300,0U0 were swept awav,
ud only the barren, naked rock
left behind,
A gr at number of new’ ravines, of
dreadful depth tunned, and the lace
ot the country entirely changed,-
From tiie official returns made of
g* m ml damage, it appears that
243 persons were, drowned bjr the

1 orrents, 311 houses entirely car
ried off, 112 greatly damaged, and
1009 head of cattle destroyed All
this seems incredible, as the work of'
ibout ten hours—but so it was.—
Many very mnya years must elapse
before this unfortunate country can
recover from the dreadful visitation.
Many farmers who had all t , ( .y.
could wish I’or have been left with
out a shirt and several families were
entirely annihilated.
Curious Exhibition. —On ente»*
ing Moeana, we were witnesses to ra
ther a curious exhibition. I shoul4
first mention, that the Persians are
in the habir of sleeping- on the flat
roofs of their houses,during the sum-,
mer months. Day was just break-;
ing when we arrived As the hous
es of the poor classes are generally’
not more than eight feet Ligo, we had
a full view of nearly the winle popu
lation in bed: many were asleep;-
some few had awoke ; others were
getting out of bed, te n.a’o their
morning to.lettes. 'Pho -ceuu w;«:
