AUTHORS INDEBTED TO THE BIBLE*
A writer in tho Biblical Repertory and Princetotl
Review, says with u good deal of truth, that the wt|
tors of fiction are deeply indebted to the Bible for
many of their chief excellencies:
*• Dr. Spring lias said wiih equal truth and force;
4 There i» notu finer character nor a finer descrip
tion in nil the works of Wnlrer Scott, thun that of
Rebt'knh in Ivunltue. And who does not see that it
owes its excellence lo the Bible?' Shokspcnrc, By
run, and Southey, are net it little indebted for some
of tlivir best scene* und inspirations to the same
source.
At the suggestion of a valued friend, we have
turned our thought* to the purallel between Mac
beth and Ahub—between Lady Macbeth andJrze

murder of his funiily. ami that tn David of the death
of Absulom by .limb—to the parallel between the
opening ofthe Lamentation* of Jeremiah and By
tire, their love for thu Constitution’; nnd those kin
died feelings which niiglil to bind together the citl
zens of thi* grout Confederacy. We liuvu not
ncicil in liustc—in passion—from any spirit of re
sentment—our c»u-so lias been ufu very different

’•TWO DOLLARS A DAY & ROAST BEEF."
Be it lemumberod, tho whig* promised to labor
o.s, in the event of Harrison's election,"(tro dollars
a day and roast beej." This and similar promises,
imliiml tens of ihuusunds of ihe linnm laborers of
the country to cast llu-irvotoi for General Hnriisun.
The promise was made by many a rich capitalist,
nml llm laborer n..w has a right to cull fur its ru
demptiou. But would such a dt-miind be complied
wiih! No body believe* it. The prospect* of no
spring hnve been more gloomy since thu year 1829
Tire failure of tires U. Ststes Bunk, tho great Whig
4 regulator," has brought every thine to a stand still-
Thousands aro ruined, or so straitened a* to for
bid the idea of prosperous times, except through a
steady adherence to the measures of llie late udmin
istraliun. Repeal the Independent Treasury under
existing circumstances, and the flood gates of fraud
will pour upon the country a larger amount of irre
deemable paper, than ever existed sinso tlm days of
John Law. The luboror lla-n, it is true, might get
lii* two dollars a .lay, but his two dollaas would
hardly buy beef enough to keep his cat fiom starve
tion.
We wont those among nor laboring population,
who wero induced hy whig promises lo vote the
Hurrison ticket, now to re-examine the whole sub
jecl. They were told :ho success of Hnrrixou would
instantly resiors confidence nnd given new mpetu:
to every hranrh of industry. It was said the measures
of Mr. Van Buren hud produced nil the difficult
under which tho country Imd been laboring dining
his administration. That none of it was nttributnhli
to nurdefective banking system, and especially tlmt
none of it was attributable to the U. S. Bank
Change ihe administration, said the whig* to the
honest laborers, nnd you shall liavo "two dollars a
day and roast beefL" The administration it char,g
ed, and what are the prospect* ofthe luborei! As
the intelligent mechanics of Lynn: interrogate the
equally intelligent class of Taunton, or the sumo no
b!c hearted class every where to bo found in nur
country; ask them if tbo election of Harrison lias
j.*-sored confidence, and brought with it the promi*
•d “two dollars a day and and roast beefl" What
it this moment, is the condition of our commerce ?
What tlm condition of the wool raisers, the
outt.m growers, nud the nggriculturi»t* of the
North und West! Ha* u change iu tho ndtninisiru
tion given to all these an extra “ Two dollars a day
and roast berfl"
To the lub'iiers, therefore, we say, re-rxninino
the whole subject. It it nn diraieditikil you were
d.ceived by the promises of the whig*. Such hud
been tlm setiesof disasters, brought on the country
hy the worst system of hanking on earth, It is no
reproach that any of ut might Irivn attributed these
diiustert lo a wrong cause. But now a moment of
cool reflection htt raturnedi a new administration
ha* come hi, l*u» where la the "two dollars a day
and roast bstfl Where ate the glorious timet th*(
were pr« imaeil Ihe momenl it should be inown that
IJarrisioa had been tlreltd I Let u. all insist un
Ihla " two dollars a day and roast btrf." It was
refwsii-diy ami aoUntnly promised. » Two dollar*
a day and tauK beef was on 1LI1 lint.eia from
’* apostrophe to Romo, as tlia Niobo of nations
—to the parallel between his ode to Nnpoleon and
Is.iiuli’s ode un the fall of Shnnncherib—and ulso lo
tliu resemblance between Southey’s chariot of Cut-
mala, in tho C urse of Kohumn, und Ezekiel's vision
or tho wheels; unit liuvo been forcibly impressed
with the obligations of this class of writer* lo tho aa
cred scriptures."
We do not know that such nUhors ore much s'ta
dvbted to tho BiblfJ they seem, as most others do»
to liuvo used it hi common properly. And ao with
the best poets of England; tlioy borrow whole pas1(
anges, und work it into their weaker web, and calf

plagiarism. The delight ful pasiago in Dr. Young

evnneircnee of human grief is noticed, is almos t
Wunl for word fiom thut part of tho scriptures called
tho Apeclirlplia:
Where past the shaft, no trace is found,
As from tho wing no scar tho sky retains,

menoing
How shocking must thy summons he, O Death!

is almost a transcript from tl 0 same book. Th*
truth lx, no man is a poet, no man can be a poet,
however born, without a familiarity with the Biblrj
and no man can bu familiar with tlmt book without
trensuring in his hemt (ifnot forpractico, at least fo r
quin u 1 ion) many of the lofty thoughts and rich expro*
lions with which It is *lorod; and wa may ut times
find his own outpourings more thun tinged with the
hues & perhaps enriched with tho substance, of what
ho hns thence derived, without a thought of indebt
edness. A vigorous funcy is nourished hy biblical
reading, though wo think tliut precision of expne
sion is not a natural consequence of that. Those
who read tho Bible much when tlioy ore young,will
find themselves much, perhaps at times too much
given to direct quotation, even in common ennver
nation. It is the language iff tho heart, and 4, out o f
the abundance of the heart the mouth •peaketh.''
The writing* of such porsons, will generally abound
;n antitheses, BomolitncH to the injury of the stvle.
O' course wa speak of there who have not had tho
iidvniilngcofregulat scholastic discipline. But there
nre 11 force of expression and an nttrnctivuness in
the manner of tliuxu who build upon tho Bible,
which nre not to ho derived ulone from the perusal
of secular volumes.
Stale Rights.—Tins Neck nr-, who hnve the
chin go of preparing tho financial muticrs for thd
columns of the Courier un.l Enquirer are certuinly
wise b»ynnd the rest of their generation. Are they
not of British origin! nnd having supported Gen.
Hurrison for President, are they induced to thiuk
h s adudnutraiiaa will possess ull the power of the
British Crown. Hark how snpinmly they discourse.
When South Carolina attempted to 41 Nullify’’
—an act which in our opinion was for less objection
able und unc .ns:itiitiont.l than would Lethe attempt
of a Slate to repudiate it* debt—the General Gi»
vciuincnt very quietly said Nay: and if she had not
returned to her Juty, she would have been made to
do so. And so it wilt be with any and every Slate
which shall at any lime attempt to repudiate ilt
debt. She may b> sued in tho Supremo Court of
the Ui State*;and that Court, with the entire civil
nnd military power of tho Union, if necessary, will
enior into possession of her soil, nnd sell it to the
highest bidder for tho benefit of her creditors.
Now mark, how short a tole will put them down. >
th« 1 llh niticl" ofthe amendment, to the Consti
tstti'sn of the United State* rends in this wise,
••The judicial power nf the United States shall not
ho cuimtiucd to extend loony suite in luw or equity,
commenced or prosecuted against one ofthe Uni
ted States hy citizens of nnother Stale, or by citizens
or subject* of any foreign stnte." Verily! the legal
and constitutional condition of the e sages are with
out parallel.
Amusing Dialogue.—'Ihe following converse
tion is said 10 have taken plnco between a fed ml
office seeker from this Stute and Gen. Harrison, at
Washington. Tho poor Whig, after having been
introduced to Mr. H. a utos his business and pro
sent* his credentials, or, in other words a petition,
signed hy sumo hundred or more iff his federal
brethren, representing that "the public good re
quires the removal 0 r u certain democrat from the
office of &c." But we give the dialogue:—
Gen H.—You say you are from New Hamp
shire?
Office seeker.—Yes, muy it plcaso your highness
ahem—I would have said generalship.
Oen.II — Ah. 1 think I hnve heard of the place
before—-let me see—the people of New Hampshire
an- x'lmewhai benighted, 1 believe; wos not that
the State w hich gave Vun Buren six thousund ma-
