PROPOSALS. in iho City of Washington. (IS, of South Caroltua, a tri weekly paper, ^called 'l THE EXAMINER. The editor is fully sensible ofthe.dilfictilty and responsibility, Wi'icblat all times-pVeseiit them selves, in an undertaking of this kiti’l; and more particularly since the introduction of a new polit ical heresy. ■ The Editor is. moreover, aware of the turmoil and perplexity of the vocation lie is about to as sume ; but he feels as every patriot should feel, when he perceives the approaching danger of a dissolution of the Union,, and the destruction of the free institutions of thii great Republic, that it is his duty to vindicate and sustain- the rights of the people, -and expose to public gaze the intri gues aud duplicity of selfish and designing inch. The editor will support the present admiuistra- ion. lie is personally and politically tbe friend of the Chief Magistrate. Ho believes no man, except Get!. Washington, ever pbksessed . in so great a degree the confidence of the American people, and surely no man ever better desttved it. The eminent difficulty, at this time, to hs&rfain tho political tenets of certain, aspirants, in rela tion to many great national questions, renders it necessary that the Editor should here remark, that he holds the doctrines of the late Proclama tion of the Fresuleut of the United States'lo he strictly orthodox, and such as were entertained and inculcated by tho immortal Wnthiuglou. On these docrriucs will depend the future dcstiuy of this great Confederacy. Tiie ExAitiNF.r. will be open to a full, fearless, hut decorous discussion of all matters relating t<t the affairs of the nation, the public couduct of public men, am! the exposition of every inal-prac- ticc iu office. On the question of the Bank the Editor has reflected much; and as he is not indebted to that institutiou'for loans, or any other favor, he will he pardoned when lie states that it is his .opinion the fiscal relations of the Government and Coun try requiro a Bank of some sort; bnt whether the prcseut’bc the best, or whether it should bo modified, -.'-'ill be the subject of future discussion. As regards the question of domestic industry, the Editor can with much sincerity declare, that bo believes nothing tends more to improve, adorn and enrich the couutry, lhau the laudable exertiou of our manufacturers. , The skill, tbe capital, and uutiriog enterprise which arc now employed in the elaboration of the various productions of the soil, will, at no ve ry distant period, make us one of tlio most flour ishing and independent nations on earth. ■, Nature appears to have bestowed upon" us what she has refused to every other people; a countryemhraciug all the variety of climate'aud soil, aud yielding alf the'various productions of the earth, tiecessaiy to the edrifort of man. The Examiner will bo published three times a. week at five dollars per nnum.

BROWN, of 'Seofisboraugh. FBIHE E ditor is of opinion that philosophical JL* -Education, as it is generally cqjn'acted in our Universities and Academies, is loo much confined to tho communication of knowledge, au(l that too little atteutiou is bestowed onj the 101711011011 of the intellectual habits of judging, reasoning, and communication, b3 - which ajouo the prosecution of science, after leaving school or college, and the business of active life eau be successfully pursued. It is, therefore, his de sign to conduct this 1 work in reference to thp analysis of the human mind, andj to endeavor to Mrbe grand object of fitting our sous and daughters for practical life. Thehs being no work of the kind m the South ern country, it is taken for granted, that no one will question the propriety of endeavoring to establish an organ of- good, so much needed.— Wc r aA.pt the sentiments of no party; we arc plddgw to no society, tior is -it bur wish to dic tate as to any mode, nr course,‘ to be pui-sued in general or particular instruction.

At a lime when manual-labor schVdk?and other respectable institutions are rising around us, it is reasonable to expect, that some mode of com munication, with regard to tho success or failure of any attempts i is very desirable.’ Teachers need a periodical wherein they may express their views, and from which the^may-learn the views, of others, and gather encouragement and guidance in the arduous task of instruction. . It is our design, to collect information from every source, and make our paper an organ of romron- uicatjbu between distant teachers and the friends of edrVcntiim : iu general.

The gilded halls of Kings I’ve trod, And mingled midst their crowd, I’ve wandered where Alhambra stood, The beautiful! the proud 1— But not for me-are scenes like these, Nor valley, brook, nor tree ; The sea toss’d bark, the'wave, the breeze— The Ocean still for me ! I've rambled over field and fern, O’er mountain, vale, aud wood ; And hunted ’midst the wildest glen, And woo'd its solitude— But give uie still, tny ocean home, And ever merry sea ; Contented ever there I’d roam— The Ocean still for me ! I’ve been where Earthquakes shook the pole, ' Upon the trembling laud ; Seen mountains from their bases roll, And Cities crushed to sand— As others will, I love ihe wave, A lid its wild revelry ; Home of the daring aud the brave— The Ocean still forme! j “Oh!

Finn, Esq. LOVES OF BETSEY>BUCKWHEAT AND SIMON SPARROWGKASS. Whcu Dr. Darwin ruled tho taste of folks with rod despotic; He sung the Jove of all the plants, both native and exotic; I moan to say, he thought he did, but he forgot, alas! The loves of Betsey Buckwheat, and one Simon Sparrow-grass. A culinary maid was she, and he a man herba- • ceotis, ; “Oh ! lauk d daisy,” he exclaimed, and she, “my good} gracious."' IIG -took his .hicad and cheese with her, also a little $hrubj And'after killing caterpillars, swallowed down his grub. This Simoii he was very thin, though thick with Bet, by gosh, For he was-like a parsuip long, and she a sum mer squash : lie called her his sweet sugar pea—dwarf, mar rowfat; I ween—. For love had in his head and heart —his poll and kidtteybtcn. His jacket sowed in patches, wasn’t worth a sin- 'gle.shiiliug, Ilis pantaloons were full of holes—of course were made of drilling. He said he looked like scurvy-grass, aud it was most distressing. Said she “you kuow 1 think a goose is nothing without dressing.” The forcing system she pursued, was, from the house to scold him : It proved a hot-house, for she made the house too hot to hold him. For Betsey planted lots of Box around his crani- uin’s Jedge, But though lie did dislike his Bet, it was too lato to hedge. His \\ aspish Bee, he then fomid out, was' but a mere hum-Bug, For daily to her jugular, she joined another jug. Her hands would gather in his crop—for she would tear his hair ; Aud the nature of the Crab, was grafted, on this kitchen pair. 1 o make an aid of Sparmwgrass.she swore from tho beginning ; She starved Inin, though his long lean limbs, did never need inuch thinning ; Ono day she knocked him down, and ran, in ; spile of all his prayer; She was an Offset out of doors—he on tbe < ground a layer. So he fell sick, to think no iuuior Sparrowgrass should ho ; A little heir he thought to fee!—a Son flower to see. The Faculty could not restore, his faculties to try’em; It is not strange that he soon died—he physic took per diem. Ilis plaguy Toad inour Frog nend, then drown'd herself one night; But as all liquors from the Common, now are banished quite— Each 'lectiou day,her ghost appears, and laugh to think—God rot her— That she’s the only Spirit there, allowed to mix witli Water. AN ADVENTURE. [Translated moat tiie French'] The clock of Notre Dame was just tolling mid night. 1 was hastening home lo my Hotel in the Suburb St- pennaine, when 1 crossed tho Point Neuf, ahorse, driven rapidly in a gig, stumbled and fell. Sparks of fire flew in alt directions, from the violence of the fall, and a scream of a- larm in a funale voice issued from the interior of the carriage, i hastened to yield my assistance, and arrived very seasonably, for the driver reck less of every ikiug else, had rushed to his h ( -c’s head, aud vaiiily endeavored to get!;the animal, which was dangerously hurt, upou his legs again. The lady had fainted, I took her out iu my arms, aiid seated her on the side-walk. As fear had been the principal cause of her swooning, and iu a sweet aud trembling voice, she thanked mo for the kindness I had shewn her. “You will per mit rne Madame,” said T, “to complete the good work begun by so happy a cbauco: you certain ly will not refuse me the pleasure of seeing you safely lionte.” “I am sorry to give you so much trouble. Sir; but I accept y our invitation thankfully: my a- bode is not far from this: I shall not detain you a ruomeut.” Thp driver received a five franc piece from tho lady’s baud; she comforted him as well as she could, aud we directed our course to Seine Street. “What number Madame?" “Foriy.” Wc were there iu a few minutes. i T was retiring- “Not yet,’’ said the lady, “you must not refuse some slight refreshment. There was so much kindness in these few words that I could not refrain accepting the invi tation : more particularly as the stranger was very beautiful.
