“Tho' my being’* stream
Gives out no music : I can still drink in
The unshadowed beauties of the Universe.
Gate, with a awelling soul upon the blue
Magnificence above, hear the hymn ot
Heaven in every star-light ray. and fill,
Glen, vale, wood and mountain with the
Visions, poured from the deep home of an
Immortal mind.'—Geo. D. Prentice.
Ilovetohearthe lonely song
The winds of Autumn sing.
And see the pale leaves borne along
So rudely on their wing:
I know ’tis sad, but yet to me -
It bath a pleasing tone.
Its notes, so mournful seem to be
Responsive to mine own.
When Summer'll robes upon tbe grove
In emcrnld folds were flung,
I loved her fields and bowers to rove.
Her blushing flowers among:
But now they hare a stronger spell,
A beamy anil more dear,
Than when they boro aloft so well
The splendor of the year.
It were unfit, iht.t when the gay
And gladsome Summer reigns.
The lowly heart should pour its lay
Of melancholy strains;
But Autu.nr.—O! liow deep and wild
Its wailini* tempest peals.
And thrillj the ssul, or healing mild
Upon the sad heart steals.
Now may the mourner turn apart
To the forsaken vale.
And pour the sorrows of bis heart
Upon the moaning gale;
And feel noblaa*. of scorn come down.
Like blighting mildew there,
No withering taunt, no chilling frown
Upon his hurphle prayer.
Tbs leafless woods, tlie fields so sere,
I dearly love them all;
And it ia music to my ear
To hear tha brown nut fall— .
To mark the rustling leaves thst spread
80 richly vale and hill,
Tbe squirrel’s chirp, tbe rabbit's tread.
When all beside is still.
Ob! these are sounds more sweet to me.
More rich, ten thouaind times,
Than woman's sofiest notes can be,
Or proudest trumpet cbiinea,—
lorthey evoke the perished dreams
Entomb'd with brighter years;
E'er my cheek bad felt in lava streams
The bitterness of tears.
I would no Summer day of earth
Might greet my closing eye:
Nor star that glittered o'er my birth,
When I am called to die:—
Myr soul would easier burst tho chain
Of Time, as it flits away,
Inspir'd by strength uj-on the wane.
And Beauty in decay.

MONUMENT.
To the people of the. United States:
A large meeting of the citizens of Washing
ton on the 15tli ol September, 1845, (Gen. John
I*. A an Ness presiding, unanimously and en
thusiastically adopted these resolutions:
Resolved, That the American people be
called upon to ucite in erecting at the seat of
the federal government, a suitable monument to
the memory of the Hero, Patriot und Sage,
w hose recent loss the nation still deplores, to go
down to our most distant posterity, as a record
of the great man’s glory, and of his country’s
gratitude and grief.
licsoh'cd, That a collossal equestrian statue,
in imperishable bronze, is deemed the most suit
able ibr (lie purpose, to transmit to future cen
turies the features and form on which the en
nuis of the republic will teach each new suc
ceeding generation to look with on ever-renew
ed love and reverence, and an ever-renewing
ambition to emulate bis noble deeds and nobler
virtues.
Resolved, That, for the purpose of raising
by voluntary subscription the requisite sum, a
ccntial committee of thirteen be appointed,
which shall proceed forthwith to organize the
necessary measures for the collection of such
subset jption, by whom a monthly publication of
the same shall be made, and the money secure
ly invested; and Resolved, That, as General
Jackson’s own most trusted and beloved friend
and the selected inheritor of his papers and
guardian of his fame, Francis P. Blair be ap
pointed treasurer.
licsolvcd, That the fol'owing citizens consti
tute said committee of thirteen, with power to
supply vacancies in their own number; and, af
ter the completion of the subscription, to direct
and superintend the execution of the proposed
work: Cave Johnson, Francis P. Blair, Thom
as Ritchie, Amos Kendall, John P. Van Ness,
John C. Rives, William A. Harris, Jesse E.
Daw, Benjamin B. French, John \V. Maury,
Charles K. Gardner, James Hoban,*and Chas.
P. Sengstack.
The committee, on whom devolves the exe
cution of the high trust designated by their fel
low-citizens of Washington, led confident that
its fulfilment is not more earnestly desired by
their immediate constituents than by the great
mass of the American people.
A collossal equestrian statue in imperishable
bronze, preseming to the eyes of all future gen
erations the Hero und the Patriotaes lie lived,
exhibiting the features, the person, the apparel,
the attitude, and almost the action, which be
longed to him at the moment of rendering the
highest service to bis country has always been
looked upon by the free and the noble-minded
people of every age, as the best bequest they
could give their descendants. In such a model,
the virtues to which the republic atiribu'.es its
greatness are, in some sort, cnduringly personi
fied; and the posthumous honor which imparts
an immortal presence in tbe midst of his coun
trymen to one great benefactor, gives birth to
the patriotic emulation which, through succeed
ing ages, multiplies aspirants to a kindred
tame.
It is not only, then, the national gratitude,
but a just sense of the public interests, a wise
care of the national glory, which erects lasting
monuments to commemorate the citizens who
devote themselves to the service of the t(.-pub
lic.
The Congress of great men, who contribu
ted to found the free government we enjoy, de
creed an equestrian statue to Washington, as
the man most worthy of the renown of our glo
rious revolution. It was to hand him down to
the remotest posterity in his military character,
in the' lineaments and habiliments which he
wore when lie achieved the independence of his
country, that the congress voted a /nonumt n.
which should present the general as he appear
ed on the scene of his greatest exploits. At
that time the fine arts had not attained a maturi
ty in our country, adequate to execute worthily
the design. Now, American sculptors have
arisen, from whom Europe borrows the power
to eternize the features of her illustrious men;
and hence the last Congress took the firs^step
towards the accomplishment cf the resolution
for the construction of the equestrian statue to
Washington, 'flic gratitude and honor of the
nation imperiously demand tfic full and imme
diate execution of the work*, which circumstan
ces have already too long delayed. If our
countrymen should also decree an equestrian
monument to the patriotic chief “who shed his
stripling blood in the revolution,” and who clos
ed the last war for the maintenance of his coun
try’s independence in a blaze of glory*only less
brilliant than that which achieved that indepen
dence at Yotk Town, it would be equivalent to
an instruction to tho approaching Congress to
consummate the movement of the last session;
and tlie nation may be gratified by witnessing
the elevation of fitting memorials to (lie heroic
who conquered liberty for his country, and to
him who preserved it. Such tributes, offered
sponianeously from the national heart to the im
mortal dead, are the highest meed of public hon
or for the highest desert of public service, and
wisely to be encouraged on proper occasions, as
the bequest of one age to another, mid one of
the best means of perpetuating the silent, but
deep and pervading moral power of the charac
ters and examples of the country’s worthiest and
greatest sons.
It is proposed to build the monuments to
Washington and Jackson uL tlie seat of govern
ment, for the reason that this city is tho city of
the Union, ceded to it by the States, as the point
which concentrate the representatives of llio
States and the American people, and of foreign
governments, and is calcul tied, by associating
with it the forms of illustrious patriots, to add
i residences, and occupation of subscribers, and
| of the amount subscribed, and the original lists
I transferred in stereotype, or inscribed on some
permanent material, will be perpetuated in con
nection with the monument.
It is the intention of the commitleeto invest
in some secure funds the sums received in the
progress of the subscription; so much of the ac
cruing interest on which, as may be necessary,
will be dedicated to procure the execution of
fine engravings of the statue for the subscribers
—none of which engravings shall be disposed of
in any other way.
No compensation will be received by any of
the committee—not even by the treasurer or
secretary—lor their services- Agents author
ized to obtain subscriptions and make collec
tions will be allowed a reasonable percentage,
to be settled by agreement; and a clerk, who
will devote his time to the labor of keeping the
accounts, and in effectuating the correspon
dence of the committee with all parts of the
Union, will receive a compensation dependent
on the surplus accruing from tlie interest on the
funded collections. It is the fixed determina
tion of the committee that not one cent of the
amount collected (reaching the treasurer) shall
bo diverted from the object for which it is given.
And to effect this, adequate secuiity will be ta
ken to make safe the funds, wherever lodged;
and publicity will be given, in quarterly or semi
annual statements, of every matter touching the
concern, for the satisfaction of subscribers.
v All the agents of this committee will be fur
nished with a letter of appointment signed by
the chairman aud members of the committee,
and countersigned ty their clerk, with seal an
nexed. No person who cannot produce such a
commission is to be recognised as authorized by

All who may prefer to do so, may remit the
amount of their subscriptions directly to the
chairman of the committee—a course which is
earnestly recommended to all the friends of the
enterprise, inasmuch as it will save the expen
ses incident to collection.

To fulfil the duty intrusted to them by the cit
izens of Washington, the committee will appeal,
through authorized.agents in every section of
the country, to each patriotic and libera] minded j
citizen of the Union.
Subscriptions may be made to aay amount; !
and it is hoped that an adequate sum may he
obtained, if no subscription exceed one hundred i
dollars; but as there may be some mistake in our j
calculation, it is also to he hoped that no mail
of large means, and of a liberal spirit will cor,- |
sider himself limited in the amount ofbiscontri- j
bution by this suggestion. The smallest con- |
tribulion will be received, even -‘ihe widow’s
mite;” for the country will feel more pride in
the multitude of hearts engaged in this work,
than in the amount of money. As an acknow
ledgment to subscribers, and as a check on all
concerned in the collection of subscriptions, a
monthly publication will be made of the names,

THE TARIFF.
I attempted in my last number to exhibit the
monstrous inequalities of the present tariff*
law, which Mr. Cabell so highly approves of.
L might go on to show how careful the manu
facturing interests have been to secure them
selves m this same law from all imposition of
taxes. Tiiu lot lowing articles used by the
manufacturers, come in under this tariff free
of duty :—Models of Machinery, berries and
nuts,used in dyeing; all dye-woods, barrilla
and Brazil wood, bur stones, unwrought coch
ineal, Madder, Sumac, <J*c. Why these ex
emptions in favor of tlie Manufacturer, when
every one of the prime uccesstries of life, on
the part of him that works tlie soil, is taxed to
the very highest point ? If tbe tarff really
cheapen goods, why is it that tlie manufactu
ring interest, have managed to have all these ar
ticles use! exclusively by themselves admitted
duty free ? Let reason unswer.
I propose now, as concisely as possible, to
discuss the policy of a discriminating tariff,
and show its evil bearings, not only on the
agricultural interests of the South, but upon
the prosperity of commerce and trade, through
out the worlJ. The present tariff is so high
on every article of heavy or cheap domestic
coiton.goods, as to close our ports generally to
their entrance ;- tho South-being the principal
cotton growing country of the wot Id, is of
course deeply interested in the trade -which
opens to them a fine and profitable market for
the raw material, entering into their composi
tion ; if we therefore shut«out the manufactures
of any foreign nation from pur ports by a pro
hibitory tax, we not only leave them with un
sold goods on their hands, but we diminish their
means of buying of us, and compel them eith
er to turn their industry into some oilier chan
nel, or to resort to shorter hours of labor, and
to the making of finer fabrics, and those requir
ing a less amount of the raw material; or it
may be that the Manufacturers of England,
when driven from our markets by our prohibi
tory duties, and finding no other great market
for their fabrics, may be compelled to abandon
their workshops aud engage tlieir artizans and
workmen in the labors of agriculture or oilier
branches of industry. And thus we stir up
a rivalry with ourselves, for ibe cultivation of
the earth is susceptible of iildefinite improve
ment, and there is hardly a spot that may not
be improved by the application of that science
which is daily shedding light on this fiist and
great branch of industry. When wp close the
factories in England, we contract the market
of our great staple, we impoverish a class of
our customers, so that they cau’t buy of us as
formerly. And we go further; wo transform
them into competitors of our dfcvn craft, and
sharpen their invention to devise means of do
ing without us. Again, whoa we prohibit the
importation of foreign goods, we make it more
expensive to send our produce abroad. ''When
the vessels which carry out our exports are
permitted to bring back cargoes in return, the
expenses are equally divided between the im
ports aud the exports ; but when we export and
do not import, as is the case to a considerable
extent under the present law, the whole ex
penses of shipment fall on our exports, and
this is one reason of .tlie great decline in our
stopic commodities. But ihe evil .that lies at
the bottom, and that works the disastrous re
sults to the South that we witness, are tbe
shackles and chains with which trade is fettered
in every way. It should be left free, like the
waters of the valley, and to seek its own level.
Where barter and exchange of one commodi
ty for another can he more profitably made,
there it is the interest of the tradesman to re
pair, and there will the profits of trade uner
ringly direct him. But unless the foreign trades
man can be admitted into our markets with his
commodities, how is he to purchase our Cotton 1
His merchandize is his money ; he can afford
to give us high nticcs for our raw inetcrial, if»
them to our merchants, and with the proceeds
enter our cotton markets for purchase. This
Would give animation and open up a wide and
enlarged market for our staple, and the South
could again lift herself from the dust.
So much for the South, her prospects and
her rights. Let us consider the humbug of
Equal- Protection to all tlie pursuits of Agri
culture, Commerce, and Manufactures, If
discrimination is resorted to, (as is the case in
the present instance, and contended for by Mr.
Cabell) it must be for the protection of that
peculiar branch of industry in whose favor it
has been made; it must result in a bonus to
that interest, That bonus must be derived
from some other class of operations. If you
put money into the pockets of one class, vou
must of necessity take it out of the pockets of
another. Here then arises a question in politi
cal economy of very difficult solution indeed.
Tlny-e is no creative or self constituting power
in the law that will call money into existence,
and thus add intrinsic or relative- value to ex
isting commodities. This would be a super
human attribute, to which legislation, however
ingeniously devised, can lay no claim. Price
can only bo regulated safely, by the ordinary
operations ofsupply and demand. If you im
pose 50 per cent on the laborer’s cotton trow-
sors for the benefit of the manufacturer, the la
borer must pay it. This then is 50 per cent
gone from him, and how is lie to be protected
lo the sime extent, unless the law discrimi-
nates in his fuvor in some other way; and when |
he gets it buck it must come from the manu
facturer, for though there may be half a dozen
different branches of industry protected, it will [
be necessary for the purpose of equal justice,
that each branch yield the same amount of in
tcrest to his neighbor that lie had raised, and
thus after taking the round, each receiving a
bonus, and eacii yielding its equivalent, what
would be gained by either? Just nothing.
It is therefore absurdly ridiculous to talk a-
bout equal protection to all, through tbe agen
cy of a discriminating tariff, for, to carry it
out in good faith, which could never have been
intended by any, it would be necessary to- lay
to protect this class at the expense of another,
and to-morrow to refuse it by an inversion of
tlie same progress. This would indeed be the
rolling of the stone of Sisyphus without attain
ing any vational result,
No sir, it is a cunningly devised scheme to
plunder tho South, and while the rainbow of
hope is held to our view, the work of disappoint
ment is busy in our pockets. Can any doubt
tlie fact? Contrast the condition of the North
and the South. See the current of our wasting
prosperity bowing into tlieir midst. Look at
iter bleak rocks and foreign shores, once aban
doned to tlie sjffcitude of nature, now bloom
ing like the rose. See her thrifty villages, state
ly mansions, costly public edifices aud magnif
icent works of public taste and improvement,
now springing up in their miffst and beautifying
a country so lately adorned by tlie bramble and
wildwood. See her river, canals and lakes,
covered with a prosperous commerce, and eve
ry rocky streamlet alive with the clutter ofma-
chiuery, and the hum of busy life, and
then ‘turn your eye to the once prosper
ous and happy South. ‘‘With dust on her
forehead and chains on her feet,” her
industry paralyzed, her energies cramped
her labor valueless, and say if this vast reversion
is the result of indolence on our part, superior
ity on theirs, or the operation of unwise and
oppressive laws. None can doubt the cause.
And this must continue to be the sad effect, un
til the South awakes again to a sense of her
humiliating condition, and rises from ITer tor-
paid slumbers and level thqsp barriers to free
exchange, and open, as far as may be in her
power, every port to every product.
“This is the office of enlightened humanity.
To tin--, a free nation should especially pledge
itself, and under a wise and more Christian civ
ilization, we shall look back on our present
restrictions as wc do on the swadling bonds by
which in darker times, the human body was
compressed.” YOUNG DEMOCRACY.
MATERNAL INFLUENCE.
Timothy Dwight and Aaron Burr were first
cousins—their mothers being daughters of
tlie elder Jonathan Edwards. The mother
ofDwight lived to educate and train her son,
and to enjoy the rich fruits of watchful care,
the mother of the latter, together with his fath
er, an excellent and exemplary man, died
while he was young.
Thus early bereft of paternal guidance, Burr,
with liia high intellectual capacities, entered
upon a course which lias made his name a (er
ror both in the social and political world. Few
men, perhaps, ever attained to his enormity of
crime: fewer still have experienced, more ful
ly, the miseries whiuh are the inevitable result
ofa career of sensuality and lust.
■•Reft of hi* sire, too young such a loss to know—
Lord of himself, that lieritaga of woe.”
his evil propensities early acquired the mas
tery over his moral powers, and he fell, even
in tho meridian of his days, a wretch, a moral
ruin, over which were shed a nation’s tears,
and over whose memory, withered though it be
bv the pestilence of mighty vices, Christianity
will long mourn
“As o’er the grave one whom God endowed
With powers noble, and for noble ends ;
But who, in sin, conceived a mighty crime,
Aud iell—no more to rise-—”
As a contrast to the late of Burr we ma}' pre
sent that ofDwight, In the language ofa terse
and beautiful writer—“He became eminently
successful in extending the beauties of learning
and religion, which he loved, and left behind
him a noble monument of piety and genius in
his written works. Who can say but that, if
Mrs. Burr had lived to watch over and pray
with her son, these highly gifted youth might
have pursued the same narrow path, and they
might have been equally useful in the earth, ana
equally happy in the heavens.”
“Mothers ! though your children may not
possess mental endowments ol so high an or
der, with which to bless or curse mankind, hon
or or offend God, elevate or degrade them-
selves, yet they do possess souls as precious,
for whose salvation the same blood has been
spared, they are as much dependent on you
for their guidance aright, and you are as deep
ly responsible to God as were those mothers,

cred trust. Oh, are you indivi lually prepared

owed him an old grudge for his liberal opinions,
ordered him to leave the country. Our consul
at Leghorn,, who is nut American, says of the
affair-:—
“ Albinola deceives himself greariv if he
thinks lam willing.to.interest liiinselffor him
to remain in Tuscany, but I will not do it. The
government has a right to expel him from its
territory. lie is an evil disposed person
(cattivo soggetto.) He is a fanatical liberal
democrat. Last year, 1841, lie came to Tus
cany commissioned by a dangerous society.
Perhaps he may have come this year too, for
the same object. It is better to send him off’.’’
In the name of our country, we. call on tlie
United Slates Government to dismiss this Con
sul forthwith, lie is a disgrace to the It pub
lic, and if we ca-nnot employ Americans lo rep
resent us abroad, it would be quite as well to
dismiss our consuls altogether and let our citi
zens take care of themselves.—Phiadelphia

stockholders, and indeed all who have the pros

Tlie details of the census of the city of New
York, recently taken, are given in tho Morning

is now 3G6.7S5, showing an increase of 54,075

of the world New York now lakes rank as the

The population of London proper, it will bo

to 2,560,281- The suburban population of
many of the other cities of Europe is included
in the returns. If wc embrace Brooklyn as the
suburbs ol New York, which it really is, inas
much as its population is composed of those
who do business in New York, and move over
for convenience—the population of Brooklyn

The recent seizure by the French and occn.
pation of various islands in the Pacific and oth
er seas, shows a determination not to be behind
the English in the acquisition ql important
points for commerce and colonization. In the
Island of Madagascar they have succeeded in
gaining a foothold in a very quiet way. 1 he
first French establishment was made in the
northern part of the Island, ill a bay called
British Sound. This bay is narrow in the en
trance, easily defensible, and capable of
mining all the fleets in the world
project was long premeditated, may he gather
ed from the circumstance that troops were col
lected gradually and in small numbers from the
adjacent settlements, mr.il tbe garrison was
strong enough to set the natives at defiance.—
Madagascar is an extensive Is.and, ol fine cli
mate and great fertility. Its rich territory and
commodious harbom wifi probably be divided

ANECDOTES OF ENGLISH PHYSICIANS.
In Monday’s paper we gave an anecdote ol
the eccentric physician Dr. Mounsey taken
. from tlie newly published work, “Physic and
| Physicians.” The following fn.m :!u same
\ amusing production may excite u laugh from
soma'of our readers.
In the year 16GQ an old physician by the
name of Cadugui flourished. His medical
| fame increase! very slow, and being i:i some-.
: what indifferent circumstances, he married a
wealthy old lady over whose fortune he bad an
entire control. Like most mercantile marria
ges, it was not of the happiest kind. The la
dy had a suspicion on her mind, that tbe doc
tor wou’d one day poison her with his physic
in order to get her out ofhis way, and reeling
ill on one occasion, she exclaimed that she was
poisoned. “Poisoned !’ said the doctor to u
number of his friends who were present, • how
can that possibly he ? Whom do you accuse
of the crime?” “You,” replied the indignant
wife. “Gentlemen,” said the doctor with con
siderable nonchalance, “it is perfectly false.—
You are quite welcome to open her at once,
and you will then discover the calumny !”
Dr. Fothergill was a celebrated physician of
London who began to practice in the year
17-10, of great skill, much charity, and peculiar
gravity of character. Just before li is death,
a gentleman of Cumberland an intompciate
man, possessed of few Christian virtues, applied
to the doctor for advice. Fotherg.li who knew
the character of the man, but choose to conceal
his knowledge, inquired- what was iiis ailment,
to wh:ch the patient repl ed, be was very well
in health eat well, an I slept weil, but wished to
know haw he might he guarded aga’nst sud
den snaps. The venerable physician, feeling
a supreme contempt for so dissolute and aban
doned a character gave him a prescription fur
bis.complaint, ii the following deserved re
proof; 'Do justice, love tntrci/, tea Pi humbly
■ with thy Cud, and do not snap the buttle too
often."
It is related also of Dr. Fo.hergill, that he
was likely to be prevented from finishing his
toilette, one Sunday owing to the non appear
ance of tlie barber » circumstance which brought
on the fidgets. A friend who was by, observ
ing his disquietude, remarked “(hat his servant
Emanuel could shave him.” The doctor with
the fire and quickness which sometimes over
came him, hastily replied, “It thou menn‘>t to
preserve authority in thy house, never suffer a
servant to take ihec by tiic nose.”
Dr. George Cheyno was another English
physician i-.t rather extensive practice, and who
died in 1743. Amongst his patients wore the
celebrated Beau ixash, who, on being asked
one day by Che
