The ' iect of th" proposed publicaUon being purely ;;: at its title implies, supercedes the necessity '(• that political commentary winch the doctrines f the dav have usually demanded; yet, as my former professions are held with unabated at * ichmeiit, and there being no neutral ground in ~,p conflicting and varied sentiments, which dai lv arise as to both men and measures—it follows, that 1 should not only make an exposition ot my political tenets, but also, that they should be ioldly set forth, and fearlessly defended. 1 have ever indulged an ardent devotion to Kepubhcaii ,, 03 the term was understood by its advocates !qg_ a sacred regard to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and a determined and fixed hos tility to evt ry thing like constructive or implied iw’vers—an extension cf equal justice to all par ies—that all power is inherent in and derived f,oni the people, as the original source and ulti mate tribunal—the independence aed distinct so vereignty of the States, aud rtieir confederacy as a Union, under a government limited and actual y defied in its powers.

Last dear flower 1 yet dearer fir For the thoughts, thou earth born star That thou awak’st, than for the bloom, Scatter’d thus o!er nature’s tomb : Tiioa art like the faith that first In the young warm heart is nurst, Keeping still its hallow’d ground, Whilst life’s joys are young around, And blooming out in age, to bring The promise of another spring. STANZAS, i . Soon as welcome night lct3 full, All so heavily—all so heavily, O’er the earth her dusky pall, All so heavily—all so heavily. Overjoy’d again we’ll meet, All so merrily—all so merrily; With light hearts and flying feet, And thrilling touch, and whiap’ring sweet, To trip it merrily—merrily. Then will music’s r.piightly Strain, Sounding cheerily—sounding cheerily, Charm away each lingering pain, All so merrily —merrily 1 And when every brow is clear, And e3"es beam witchingly— Eyes beam witchingly— Love till have forgot to fear, And beauty not disdain to hear, The suit that humbly courts her ear, Pleading touchingly—touchingly ! STEAL THOU NOT MY FAITH AWAY * BY CHARLES GILBt'SNE LYONS. Oh, steal thou not my faith away-, Nor ’tempt to doubt the trusting mind— Let all that earth can yield decay, But leave this heavenly gift behind: Our life is but a meteor gleam, Lit up amid surrounding gloom— A dying lamp, a fitful beam, . Quench'd in the cold and silent tomb. Yet if, as holy men have said, There lies beyond that dreary bourne* Some region where the faithful dead, Eternally forget to mourn ; Welcome the scoff, the sword, the chain The burning wild, the hlack abyss— I shrink not from the path of pain, Which endeth in a world like this. But oh ! if all that nerves us hero, When grief assails and sorrow stings, Exist but in a shadowy sphere Of Fancy’s weak imaginings ; If hopes, though cherished long and deep, Be cold and baseless mockeries ; Then welcome that eternal sleep, Which knoweth hot of dreams like these. Yet hush 1 thou troubled heart! be still; Renounce thy vain philosophy ; Like morning on the misty hill The light of Truth will break on thet?; Go—-search the prophet’s dearthless page— Go—-question thou the radiant sky— And learn from them, mistaken sage ! The glorious words—“ Thou shalt hot die!” NO ONE IS MISSED. The world is fair and gay to us, As now we journey on t Yet still ‘tis sad to think ‘twill be The same when we arc gone : Some few, perchance, may mourn for u.;±e . But soon the transient glootn, Like shadows of a summer cloud, Shall leave the narrow tomb. For men are like the waves that roll Along the mighty deep— That lift their crests awhile and frown And then are lulled to sleep : While other billows swelling come. Amid the foam and spray, And, as we view their furrowy track. Sink down and—where are they 1 And ever thus the waves shall roll, Like those but now gone past — The offspring of the depths beneath, The children of the blast, And ever thus shall men arise, And be lost like those that be, And man no more be missed on land, Than wave upon the see. A IS li I I/H SS AL ~ ~ GEORGIA WINE. At the polite invitation of Col. Zachahiaii Williams, of Columbia county, we attended the Globe Hotel, last evening, with some fif teen or twenty of bis friends, of this and oth er counties of the State, to taste some domes tic Wine, made by himself. It was of two kinds—made from the Madeira Grape, and the Warren Grape—and with it, on the table, was a bottle of Wine, made from the Burgun dy Grape, by Mr. Adwh, of Georgetown, I). C. a gentleman distinguished for many able essays, laid before the public. On tfie culture of the Vine—and another,of imported old Ma deira, furnished by one of the first judges and importers in the city, and recommended as a first-rate article. The general opinion of the company, who were nearly all good judges, was, that the domestic xvine made by Colonel Williams,was very far superior to any domes tic wine they had ever drank—either Mr. Apli’h’s or Mr. McCall’s of this State, which several of them had drunk, or any other——the Madeira particularly, which was considered, with suitable allowance for the difference of age, it being of last year’s vintage, nearly equal, in body, flavor grid co lor, to the imported, and by several quite so. Indeed, it was so far superior to any domestic wine they had tasted, that, all were most, a greeably surprised and delighted. The War ren, though by no means equal to the Madei ra, was considered an excellent sweet w ino, 1 of fine rich body and flavor—and by those who ; like sweet lines, it would doubtless be a great favorite. We cannot too highly commend examples like these of a patriotic desire to improve the natural resources and wealth of the State ; and the present one evinces, in a striking de gree, the great advantages to be derived from the cultme of the vine. Many have beendis con raged, by the belief that a first rate arti cle could not be produced hero—a belief pro* ved by Co*!. William’s Madeira to be altogeth er erroneous. A gtcat moral inducement to ! the culture of tiro Vine, is the fact,that in all , Wine-making countries, where wine is the i common drink, the people are uniformly tern i iterate, as well as generally healthy, and in ! deed, drink* r? rtf Wine alone, are temperate’ every where, and with the knowledge of these facts, the advocates of Temperance may well wish success to the culture oftiie Vine, as an excellent aid to the Temperance Societies. Augusta Chronicle. tKSKKV'Aasaauau unHnm PIE PLANT. There ore several varieties of Rhubarb cultivated in Great Britain, for culinary pur poses. The Raf stalks are used for pies, tarts, &c. Its Culture for market was com menced thctc about 1815, and now it is said that more than tOO acres of land are appro priated to its culture in the neighborhood of, the metropolis. Wilmot, the strawberry gardener, sends it by loads to Covcnt Gurdcn market. It is coming into general notice and r.nlturc among us. This plant is raised with very little troiime, being a perennial and is one of the earliest vegetable s afforded by the garden. Half a dozen plants growing at two feet each way, wi’l supply a family. It is propagated by seed or offsets. I have it early in April by a little extra labor. I place barrels having one or no head, over a few stools, or plants in March, and cover and surround them with recent stable manure* The heat thds gen erated causes the plant to grow ; and the light not having access, the stocks become beauti fully branched, and goon reach the top of the task. The acid of the Rhubarb is very similar in flavor to that bf the gooseberry. New England Farmer, ASPARAGUS. * I think that an error prevail in the method ordinarily adopted in cultivating this deli cious vegetable. The object is to grow king branched stock, Which, to be sure, is inviting to the superficial buyers; but at the table it is found stringy, tough and bitter. The roots, must lie deep and the grow th be comparative ly slow, my roots have but a superficial cover ing of earth* Their growth is early and rapid, and as I cut at the surface, the grass is tender, succulent and well flavoured, and the whole of it eatable. I cover my beds in win ter with manure, but rake it off and fork the ground in the spring.— Albany Nursery. METHOD OF MAKING FBENCIT BREAD. The very light, spongy and superior article called French bread is made in the following manner:—lf a peck of the very finest quality of who ate n flour is to be made into French rolls, a small quantity of it is to be mixed with as much warm water as will convert it into dough; in the water a handful of salt should have been previously dissolved. A bout a pint of distiller’s yeast, or if this can not be obtained, ale-brewers’ yeast, which lias been washed with some cold water to remove the bitterness, is to be well worked into dough. This is to be set by in a warm place to ferment. Meanwhile all the rest of the flour is to be mixed with as much warm milk as will form a sponge. Haifa pound of but ter melted at the lowest possible degree of beat, is to be poured on, along with six egtrs; and the whole is to be hastily mixed up to gether, along with the sponge, provided that it lias sufficiently fermented, and is sufficient ly swollen. After tho mixture let the dough be left in a warm place, and when it has risen sufficiently, let it be divided, shaped into rolls, and baked in a moderately heated oven. The oven sliould, as in all othe r cases, have been perfectly heated before the bread is [tut in ; and the heat should be equal throughout however difficult this may be to effect, with some ill-constructed ovens. Dr. Ear drier's Cabinet Cyclopaedia. A Ijondoner and a Yorkshircman were travelling in company, and as they passed a field, a liorsc neighed. “Elio !” exclaimed the Londoner, “vot kind o'noise his that are ?” “ Whov, that a orse neigh.” “O! an oss neigh,—so hit his.” They had journeyed but a short distance further when a cock crew. “ I suppose, friend,” observed the Londoner, “you call that ’ere a rock-neigh." And from this tho Londoners are to this day called “ coeknies.” llckt and Oobbett— par nobilefratrvm ! —A London paper gives tho following speci men of“ Hunt’s best blacking.'' It isan ex tract from the last letter of the manufacturer to the people of Preston, he is speaking of Cobbett:— “ The moment I was elected for Presfon, the mean, dirty* grovelling knave, again cast his net, again put forth his slimy and pesti lential weh of sophistry, in order to get me once more within the grasp of his blasting fangs. I resisted all his attempts* public and private, Whether put forth as ‘feelers’ in his Register, or whether urged by those who professed to be mutual friends. My answer Ito all was the same. ‘I have twice shaken I the ruffian oid beast from my back, he shall i never fix fife filthy carcass upon my shoulders again.” Colff'ctt, in Ilia Register, thus speaks of Hunt and his labors in Parliament : “ But he, a political farthing candle, ma king a decent twinkle in the present state of things, sees in the Reform Bill the cham bermaid coming with hasty strides, extin guisher in hand, and with her eye fixed on him l Come, come ! It is in human nature to recoil at the manifest approach of eternal, extinguishment. That doom, that awful sen tence, he has constantly before his eyes and ringing in his ears.” POLISH NAMES. A correspondent of one of the New York papers communicates the following key to the pronunciation of Polish words r “To put an end to the general complaint of the impossibility, or at least* the difficulty ofpronouncingsomo Polish names,l will make the following brief remarks. “As We have learned from a French paper the name of the brave Scrzyneeki to be pro nounced Skrejinetski, I will only add that this expressed W : .*h English characters,would be written Sherzhinetski. or Skersbinetski. the accent resting, as in most Polish polly syllables, on the penultimate. . “In a similar manner pronounce the ci t all Polish names like ts in English (as Flock, read Plotsk ;) the Polish sz like English sh (as Kalisz,*read Kalish;) and lastly,the Polish cz like ch in church (as Lovioz, read Lovich or 1,6 v itch.) “ This is all that is chiefly to be notice*! about pronouncing Polish names.” A F ISSAfifc FROM TTTE “NOCTItS.” Shepherd. —What say you to a mule?

North. —“l hate a mule,” says he, “mo: t devoutly, for there is something abortive i; every thing it does, even to its very bray.— An ass, on the contrary, has something hear ty and whole-souled about it. A jack be gins bis bray with a modest whistle, rising gradually to the top of his powers, like the progressive eloquence of a well adjusted ora i lion, and then, as gradually declining to a nat ural conclusion j but the mule commence s with a voice like thunder, and then, ns if sor. ry for what he has done, lie stop3 like a bull/ when throttled in the midst of a threat, or a clown who has began a fine speech and has not the courage to finish it.” Shepherd —llaw ! haw!
