THE NEW-YORKER,
the 21th dnv of March nex*, the subscribers null
c intnwnlec die Fifth Volume of their journal, both
bio and Quarto editions. No endeavors have thus
ar been spared to render it worthy the patronage and
st’em of the public, and a corresponding spirit will an
mate our future exertions. Recent arrangements have
itiea effected, securing an accession ot talent and cn
t.’v’ in the editorial conduct of the work, and insuring
reiter variety as well as strength in this department ot
raultaneous and unceasing attention to Uierature, Pol
itics. Foreign Affairs, Domestic Occurrences, and even
subject ot interest —is not so well calculated to secure
the highest efficiency in these various departments as a
system which embraces a partial though not absolute
division of intellectual labor. Under this conviction,
the active assistance ns well as counsel of a gentleman
favorably known in the higher walks of Literature have
heeicsecured for the ensuing year, and that portion of
the paper more especially known as Literary will be
placed under his charge- The Political department,
with a general supervision of the entire work, will re
main with him who has hitherto been known to the pub
lic as the Editor of the work. The City and Foreign
Department will devolve more especially upon Dr. Eld-
TUDoE, who will also lend his aid in advancing the liter
ary reputation of the paper. It is believed that by this
arrangement a more complete and effective knowledge
of the subjects treated of will be insured, while a more
real and palpable variety—a variety of manner as well
|aa matter—will result to our journal and its readers.
Os the general character of The N-r- Yorh-r it is un-
I necessary to speak, since we do not propose to change
•that which it ha3 borne from its establishment. Circu
lating for the last two years from 6,000 to 9,(XX) copies
per week, through every State and city, and nearly ev
ery countv, in the Union —it cannot be presumed un
known to the educated and intelligent. I<> those wlio
have not hitherto made its acquaintance, it may be prop
er to state that it is characterized by two objects : the
one, of combining the greatest practicable amount ot
i useful and elevating information with the highest gen
eral interest; the other, of disseminating truth so far as
possible divested of the jaundice of prejudice and the
cant of party. In short, our motto is Impartiality, as dis
tinguished from the support of this or that party, clique,
or faction, whether in literature or politics. In conform
ing to this outline, great care is taken against falling in
to the pernicious error—more fatal than the one we op
pose—of suppressing or withholding important truth be
cause it has. been made the theme of partisan conflict.
In regard to literature, we shall freely express our own
opinions, but accord a fair hearing to whatever may
stand opposed to them. In politics, our structures on
public measures and political doctrines will evince a
freedom tempered at all times by courtesy ; and it will
be oar untiring aim to exhibit the views of all parties
and sects, as sc. forth by their leaders and oracles. In
this manner, we hope to render our journal a more lucid
and perfect history of the political contests of the times
than can fairly be expected from any partisan paper.—
A concise account of all political movements —conven-
tions, nominations, &c. will be given, as well as of the
results of all elections, and tables of the popular votes
cast therein. But, without entering further into partic
ulars, we ntay sav that we shall endeavor to publish
such a journal as siiall be deemed inferior in merit and
scope to no weekly periodical; and we hope to render
•t popular without emptying into it whole Novels, An
nuals and Jest Books, and to win readers and patrons
without offering them a bribe of a dozen romances as a
temptation.
The New-Yorker is published in two forms —the folio,
or the common newspaper form, every Saturday morn
ing, on a large imperial sheet, at three dollars per an
num, or five dollars /or two copies. Asa further in
ducement to uniting in subscriptions, five copies will be
sent for ten dollars remitted absolutely in advance, and
any larger number in proportion.
The quarto edition is issued every Saturday evening,
on a larger and finer sheet, intended expressly for bind
ing Each number contains sixteen large pages of three
columns each, including a page of popular Music, and
excluding advertisements. It forms 2 ample volumes of
432 pages each per annum, and is afforded at four dol
lars a year. Three copies, however, will lie sent for ten
dollars ; and five dollars remitted free of charge will lie
credited eighteen months. Subscriptions are respect
fully solicited.

WASHINGTON.
He went to war w ith patriotic zeal,
And felt unblenchingly its sulphrou* heat:
The trumpet’s shriek—the cannon’s startling peal—
The waving banners and the clear quick beat
Os the arousing drum, which loudly told
The pulse of Battle—these to him were full
Os patriotic sounds. Behind him lay
His lovely country, bold and beautiful —
Before him, proud Britannia's chivalry
Formed the long line, and yelled the battle-word;
And from his eyrie swooped the wild sea-bird,
And on the echoing hill-tops bleak and cold
The eagles screamed —then Victory's voice passed on,
And the rejoicing cannon pealed the name of Wash
ington ! G •

HYMN.
Child of sorrow’!
May the morrow
Joy, and light, and gladness bring;
While thy sire,
With low desire,
To deadly draughts no more shall cling—
Lone one weeping,
Vigils keeping,
While the husband quaffs the stream;
Cease thine anguish,
No more languish,
Lo! fair Freedom’s rising beam.
See advancing,
Joy enhancing,
From the dust a ransom’d nation,
Saved from sin and dissipation.
Child of Jesus,
Join thou w’ith us,
In this great, this glorious tlieme.
Till the nation
3>333»aaiß®
Hail salvation,
From the pestilential stream.
Then shall tears and sighing cease—
T"laen shall reign the Prince of Peace;
Lo ! he comes, in radiance bright,
Robed in Liberty and Light.

THE DOOMED.
[continued.]
As I returned homeward I called to see my
friend C and communicated with him
in relation to matters of importance, which
were calculated to tell feelingly upon my des
tiny. As usual our conversation turned upon
K— ", and among other things I mention
ed the melancholy which seemed to per
vade her spirits during my visit, and wonder
ed what it could have reference to.
“I will tell you,” said C— ■, “for I wit
nessed the whole circumstance myself. Hut
first answer me a question. Did you show
the letter you received from Matilda, to Col.
I ?”
“I did,” returned I.
“Well, thus far, at least, you did wrong;
though it is too late now to regret that which
it is impossible to cure. This morning a par
ty of young gentlemen and ladies were form
ed to attend a public meeting and listen to the
eloquence of some of our orators. Whilst
the exercises were in progress Col. L
came to UNI iss It and addressed her in these
words, 44 Good morning Miss Matilda.” R—-
immediately hurst into a flood of tears, which
was seen by all around her, and produced no
little excitement among her friends. Colonel
L after endeavoring to conciliate with
her, had to retire in confusion, carrying in his
own breast the consciousness of having taken
advantage of a lady’s weakness at an hour
when, whether she was guilty or not, the same
effect may have been produced.”
“So I. thought he would avenge
himself on the innocent girl Ueuuuse shu tuulJ
not love him. This was too cruel, and a clear
proof that a man who could have so little
honor aLxout him, was unworthy the affections
of so noble and virtuous a lady.”
At the appointed hour the next evening, I
found myself once more happily seated beside
the lovely 11 . I thought her, if possi
ble, more beautiful and more interesting than
ever. 'There was something like a shade of
disappointment, however, occasionally steal
ing over her cheeks, the cause of which I could
not imagine. My enquiry however, was at
length solved by a knock at the parlor door.
R started from her chair and exclaimed
that it was Mr. D ,to whom she had
engaged herself for the evening to attend the
theatre.
“ Well then,” said I, “ you arc bound to
him of course. I will retire.”
“No, no,” said she “if you recollect I en
gaged vour company for this evening, 'ond a
lady lias a right of choice among lier friends.
I shall be displeased with you it you do not
stay. I can satisfy Mr. I) on the subject
very easily.”
1 could say no more in the way of reinon
stranco, and was obliged very willingly, how
ever, to submit to her determination. Mr.
D came in, and R soon found it
convenient to make known to him, that on
account of her delicate health, her physicians
had prohibted lier attending the theatre on such
unpleasant evenings as the present was. lie
signified his assent to what she had said, but 1
fancied that I could see the scowl of disappoint
ment brooding on his brow, and being possess
ed naturally of very sensative feelings, I was
not destined to enjoy myself much more dur
ing the remainder of the evening. It was not
long after D was seated, before another
tap at the door announced the arrival of ano
ther visiter. Sure enough, Mr. C , a
young lawyer from New York, and an admir
er of Miss S entered the parlor and took
his seat among us, in a very easy and graceful
manner, with a pleasant smile dancing on his
cheeks. I immediately prec ieded to a phy.sb
logical investigation of my new made acquaint
ance, but had scarcely arrived at any definite
conclusions in relatoin to his character, when
another knock at the door, rather louder than
usual, broke the thread of my investigations.
Mr. L* was announced and introduced to
the company. He was rather bustling and
uncouth in his manners, though the son of a
wealthy planter, and had just finished his col
legiate education at a college in Virginia. Nor
was it long before Col. W entered, and
made up the company for the evening. 1
must confess my meditations were not of the
most pleasant cast for some moments, as 1 sat
among those who I fancied my superiors in
some resjiects }past; especially as I was so
anxious to make an impress the mind
ol one, who seemingly was but to be known in
order to be loved. The evening, however,
passed ofl rather pleasantly than otherwise,
more especially when R seemed to dis
cover my disappointment, and addressed as
much of her conversation to me as she could,
without giving offence to the ballance of the
company. Among other tilings peculiarly
flattering to me, she requested that I should
call again the next day. After this signal evi
dence of her esteem, I was preparing to take
my departure, when several »f the other gen
tlemen left, and I found myself once more
alone With her and -Mr. C —y who soon with
drew himself, and I enjoyed the remainder of
tiie evening in the happiest manner, returning
home at a late hour. ,
It \v ould be needless in the further course of
this narration, to enter into a minute detail of
all the particulars, which, though interesting to
myself, might pall upon tiie taste of die fastidi
ous reader. I remained about three weeks in
the town of , during which time, scarce
a day rolled around which did not find me en
]o\ ing t.ie company’ of the accomplished Miss
diat in most instances, by herespe
cial appointment or approbation. On many
occasions, tis true, T mot with disappointments
by finding otaers who were desirous ot sipping
sweets at the same delicious fountain; but in
no one instance, did I have cause to lie angry
wilii her for any supposed neglect, while, on
the contrary, I frequently fancied that others
were made to writhe beneath tiie biting sar
casm ol beauty, in order to convince ihem
sel\e.-> and me, tout there was a preference*
I he evening before my departure, I called on
her lor the last time, and spent a most delight,
lul time in conversing over matters, which this
fair sheet might blush to contain. She earn
estly protested to me on this occasion, that she
was free from all engagements with any young
gentleman, nor did she think she would ever
marry.
i hen, said I, “it is useless for a gentle
man ever to address you, and cruel for him to
love you.”
u • sa *d she, “ I desire to attain the love
of ull. Luf (lipi-r*
with my history, and thrown around my des
tiiy, over w liich I have no power, that must
render marriage at most, a painful duty. I
have no prouder ambition, than the fond hope
which struggles in my bosom, of discharging
the filial duties I owe to my mother, in a man
ner \\ hieh God would bless. And then when
she dies, the last tie which binds me to earth,
will have been dishevered by the fatal sisters,
and I shall have nothing to do but to lie mo
down and die, and let my fond spirit go mingle
with tier’s in heaven.”
“ R »” said I, “ you talk mourn*
fully to-night; but the very expressions that
have just fallen from your lips, have rendered
you a thousand times dearer to me than ever,
and though the consummation of our affection
may never l>c completed on earth, how joyful
the hope that it may be in the holy fruition of
heaven.”
“ Thrice blessed is that hope,” said she,
“ when associated with such a noble Triend as
you. And from this time I shall be ‘proud to
claim you as my—” she hesitated for a mo
ment.
“ Brother,” said I, in breathless ecstacy;
“and you my own dear sister,” I added eager
ly grasping her hand.
“Yes,” said she, “and through whatever
lands you may roam, where’er your destiny
in life may be cast, I wish you often to think
of me as you would of a sister. And whenev
er you hear of my death, which I am premon
ished will be ere many years, I wish you to
write my epitaph.”
This I promised to do, if the nature of the
case would permit. I also gave her a keep*
sake, upon which was inscribed, “ remember
me, and asked one of her, which she promis
ed to give at some future time, when it could
be made. I then remarked to her, that I could
not see any impropriety, when there was such
an intimacy existing between two, for a friend
ly correspondence to be kept up, and I would
be very glad to be permitted to write to her,
and receive communications in turn. This
she assented to, after a great deal of equivoca
tion, and many efforts to deny. As it was a
late hour at night, and I had obtained an im
portant item in iny wishes, I arose to take my
departure. The moon was up in the high
heavens, and her silver rays were dancing
brightly on the fringes of the fleecy clouds
which wore gaily fluttering around her. An
occasional one fell faintly through the window
casement on the paleoountenance of my friend,
where she had seated herself to enjoy the beau
ty o. the romantic hour, that hung so swoctlv
over the face of nature. Long since had tho
embers died upon the hearth, and th» Irght
which glimmered from the tall old astral, gave
1 quite a sombre aspect to every thing in
apart qient. '
