PROSPECTIS OF Tilt! jgjUMJST JUSVSITOIBSI# Agricultural and Mercantile Intelligencer. MY recent relinquishment of a participation in the editorial labors of an old and well "ctahlished journal, would seem to require Imt fl v nreliimnary remarks, in the proposed under *aHn<r were it that ,h( T arr ; USUilll 7 dTan r, u £J public expectation, and sanctioned by tnm there is no good reason why this honored observance” should be disregard „ tiie present instance, I shall submit an epit iVfmy principles, and the course which shall he observed in conducting anew journal. Ihe rMeet*!' the proposed publication being purely "4t its title implies, supercedes the necessity of that political commentary which the doctrines , t tiie day have usually demanded; yet, as my former professions are held with unabated at tachment, and there being no neutral ground, in the conflicting and varied sentiments, which dai iv arise as to both menand measures—it follows, that I should not only make an exposition of my nolitical tenets, hut also, that they should be boldly set forth, and fearlessly defended. I have ever indulged an ardent devotion to Republican ism as the term was understood by its advocates j n >9g_ a sacred regard to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and a determined and fixed hos tility to every tiling like constructive or implied powers— an extension of equal justice to all par ties—that all power is inherent in and derived from the people, as the original source and ulti mate tribunal—the independence and distinct so veroignty of the States, and their confederacy as a Union, under a government limited and actual v defined in its powers. These are the promi nent articles of my political faith, and believing in their correctness, shall abide by them in every trial. Among tiie many topics of deep interest that agitate the people of all classes, is the exercise o? unwarrantable governmental influence on the industry and resources of the country, and the unconstitutional expenditure of the public treas ure to objects of Internal Improvement —measures too frequently destitute of general benefit, and of tentimes marked by a spirit of partiality, selfish ness and injustice. It would be criminal for one “seated on the watch-tower,” and in the exercise of the duties which belong to the Press, to ob serve, with callous indifference, the causes which have produced, and the effects which have re sulted from the latitudinary construction of the Constitution, ’flip dangerous consequences which may ensue, are already indicated by the excited feelings of the country. lam deeply impressed that wrong has been done, and evil tolerated— yet, with a spirit of forbearance, it would be bet ter forthe oppressed to boar their evils whilst they are tolerable, than “fly to those they know not of.” The present is an era in the ldztory of our gov ernment, distinguished for improvement." The lover of his country beholds it on its “return march” to its original purity and principles.— Already has the distinguished head of the gov ernment, said—“ The successful operation of the federal system can only be preserved bv cotifin i'\i h to the few and simple, but yet important objects fur which it was designed.” This is a guarantee, that the purpose ot the present Kxe cutive of the Union anil his supporters, is an ef fort to restore the Constitution to its original healthy and unimpaired condition. lam happy to accord with the Administration and its friends m tiie wise and well directed course which is pursued by them. 1 he time was, when to dissent from the inea suns of any of the prominent parties of our State, t)> an attachment to any of the others, or to their then distinguished organs, implied an hostility am acrimony which frequently had no bounds, and rendered "Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation an empty and absurd profession. The times and circumstances have now become more congenial t’ liettor feelings: the perplexing difficulties , , have surrounded us—those emanating miroai, and fostered at home, have subsided, vwui the acknowledgment of our rights, and the sun csstul accomplishment of nearly all the ends 111 1 "e have contended for. 1 can review my f* s ( ’ ours '' in relation to State affairs, with cheor ‘‘ y. a l’P ro bation; my future efforts will be inti „ ;'!, e )’ fio 'i e eted with the past; and it is hoped, ! oa o .^ < t a ’ f ‘ tu an adverse party.

Her robe was snowy white, her veil Was like the rainbow’s hue ; There was a blush on her gentle cheek, And a tear in her eye of blue. Her hair was braided from her brow, And an opal set in pearls, Still varying all its trembling light. Was in her auburn curls. She sat and watched a bright bark gjj# Towards the farther shore ; And I saw that she was beautiful, But I knew nothing more. ’Ttvas neon, and the jLady sung— “lie must havecrossed the sea; Even now the waves are ebbing back And they’ll bring him back to me.” And shading her eyes with ivory hand She gazed most earnestly But there was not a speck to break The line of sea and sky. ’Twas eve—the red sun in the west Was resting on the wave, And a sigh, that almost breathed of fear, The gentle Lady gave. But still she watched, and tried to sing, Though in a saddened strain, “Oh, 1 remember all he swore, 1 kuow he’ll come again.’, Tvvaa twilight—one red lingering streak Alone still told of day, One trembling star was glimmering Above the watery way. The Lady looked—oh, such a look— So strained to pierce the dark— Till she trusted that it was for tears She could not see his bark. Twas midnight, countless stars were out, The Heavens were calm and fair, The moon showed all the dancing sea, But ah ! no sail was there 1 The Lady gave one lingering look Across the flashing tide, Then failed the light in her blue eyes, And she laid her down and died ! They told me who the Lady was— Alas ! ’tis ever so, She lingers to the very last, Then dies away for woe. I marvel not the Lady died Thus like a wearied dove ; For they told me that her name Was Hope, And that she watched for Love. M. A. BROWN. CHILDREN PLAYING. Laugh on —while yet the rosy blush Of childhood’s morning tints your skies, Laugh on—while yet the kindling flush Is on your cheeks and in your eyes ; I would not tell, to make you grieve, How soon that wish shall pass away— That morning fade and only leavo The broad dull light of common day. It makes my very spirit glad To see yodr glee and oareless joys— And may ye never be more sad Than ye are now r my bright-eyed boys ! But lean read on every face, A something upon very brow, Which will not pass without a trace Of things ye are not dreaming uow. First, passions wild and dark and stroug, And hopes and powers and feelings high ; Then, manhood’s cares, a rushing throng, Shall sink the cheek and dim the eye j.. And brows shall grow all pale with care, And lips shall writhe in scom or pain. And age come on with hoary hair, And sadly tend to earth again: And cherish’d fancies, one by one, Shall slowly fade, from day to day,— And then, from weary sun to sun, Ye will not have the heart to play i Bitoft amidsttbe slufung scene Xe’il smile on childhood’s thoughtless joy And wish you had forever been The careless, laughing, happy boy. From the New York American. A SONG. Why should the tears unbidden start To those dark eyes of thine, While thus I press thy throbbing heart la fervent love to wine 7 M hat sudden thought of doubt or fear O’ereastg thy smiling brow! If memory wakes the silent tear, Oh bid it slumber now ! No thorns shall strew the rosy chain That links us thus in bliss, The world has hours enough for pain, \\ e will not yield it this. Then wipe those falling gems away, And dream no mote of sorrow, . W e’Ll give to joy this fleeting day, Though storms may cloud the morrow. Whtn years have furrowed deep with Care This thoughtless brow of mine— Have silver’d o’er thy flowing hair, And paled that check of thine If ruthless age, in pain or woe, Thy cup of life should steep— When every hope has fled below, ’Twill then be time to weep. A. P. A HUSBAND SUNG TO SLEEP BV HIS WIFE. She bids you, Upon the wanton rushes lay you down, And rest your gentle head upon her lap, And she will sing the song that pleaseth yob, And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep, Charming your blood with pleasing heaviness: Making such difference ’twixt wake and sleep, As 13 the difference ’twixt day and night, The hour before the heavenly-hamess’d team Begins his golden progress in the cast. MR. HALLECfc. The following spirited, graceful, and harmoni ous effusion, is freton the pen of our countryman, Ilalleck. We have not of late, seen it in print anywhere; and we regret to find that it was not included in the compilation, lately published, en titled “Specimens of American Poetry,” Lines written at Alnwick Castle , the seat of Uie Lake yf Northumberland, October, 1822. Home of the Percies’ high-born race, Home of their beautiful and brave-, Alike their birth and burial place, Their cradle, and their grave ! Still sternly o’er the Castle gate Their house’s Lion stands in state, As in his proud departed hours ; And warriors frown in stone on high, And feudal banners “ flout the sky” Above his princely towers. A gentle hill its side inclines, Lovely in England’s fadeless green, To meet the quiet stream which winds Through this romantic Beene As silently and sweetly still, As when, at evening, on that hill, While summer’s wind blew soft and low ( Seated by gallant Hotspur’s side, His Katharine was a happy bride, A thousand years ago. Gaze on the Abbey’s ruined pile,— Does not the succoring ivy keeping Her watch aronnd it seem to smile As o'er a loved one sleeping 1— One solitary turret grey Still tells, in melancholy glory, The legend of the Cheviot day, The Percy’s proudest border story. That day its roof was triumph’s arch, Then rang, from aisle to pictured dome, The light step of the soldier’s march, The music of the trump and drum, And babe and sire, the old, the young, And the Monk’s hymn, and Minstrel’s song, And woman’s pure kiss, sweet and long, Welcom’d her warrior home. Wild roses by the Abbey towers, Are gay in their young bud and bloom, They were born on abed of funeral flowers That garlanded, in long-gone hours, A Templar’s knightly tomb. He died, the sword in his mailed hand, On the Holiest spot of the. Blessed Land, Where the cross was damp’d with iris dying breath* When blood ran free as festal wine, And the sainted air of Palestine Was thick with the darts of death. Wise with the love of centuries, W hat tales, if there be “ tongues in trees,” Those giant oaks could tell, Of beings born and buried here, Tales of the peasant and the peer, Tales of the bridal and the bier, The welcome and farewell, Since, on their boughs, the startled bled, First in her twilight slumbers, heard The Norman’s curfew hell. I wandered through the lofty halls, Trod by the Percies of old fame. And trac’d upon the Chapel walla Each high, heroic name. From him* who Once his standard set Where now o’er mosque and minaret. Glitter the Sultan’s crescent moous ; To him who, when a young son, f Fought for King George at Lexington, A major of Dragoons. I •••*•*, j The last half stanza—it has dashed From my warm lip the sparkling cup, Th? light that o’er my cyo beam flash'd, The power that bore my spirit up, Above this bank-note world—is gone ; And Alnwick’s but a market town, And this, alas, its market day, NO. 20. And beasts and borderers through the way, Oxen, and beating lambs in lots, Northumbrian boors, and plaided Scott?, Men in the coal and cattle lice, From Teviut’s hard and hero land, From royal Berwick’s beach of sand, From Woolcr, Morpeth Hoxam, and New-castle upon Tyne. 1 These are not the romantic times So beautiful in Spencer’s rhyme?, So dazzling to the dreaming boy ; Ours are the days of fact, not fable, Of knights, but not of the Round Table, Of Bailie Jarvie, uot Bob Roy— Tis what <k uur President” Monroe, Has call’d thcera of good feeling;” The Highland,—the bitterest foe To modern laws, has felt their blow, Consented to be tax’d and vote, And put on pantaloons and coat, And leavo off cat tie stealing;— Lord Strafford mines for coal and salt? The Duko of Norfolk deals in malt, The Douglas in red herrings; And noble name, and cultured land, Palace, and Park, and vassal band Are powerless to the notes of hand Ot Uoscluld, or the Barings. The age of bargaining, said Burke, Has come—to day the turban’d Turk, (Sleep, Richard of the lion heart, Sleep on, nor from your cearments start,} Is England’s friend and fast ally, The Moslem tramples on the Greek, And on the Gross, and Altar stone, And Christendom looks tamely on, And hears the Christian maiden shriek, And sees the Christian father die, And not a sabre blow is given For Gretire and fame, for faith and heaven, By Europe’s craven chivalry. \ ou’ll ask if yet the Percy lives In the arm’d pomp of feudal State 1— The present representative* Of Hotspur and his “gentle Kate” Are some half-dozen serving then, In the drab coat of William Penn, A chambermaid, whose lip and eye, And cheek, ami brown hair bright and eurlin-r.

Mr. Editor,— Passing by the Branch Bank of this city one tiny last week, I observed its inmates tumbling out of doors a goodly num ber of kegs of white boys— by my troth, they knocked them about with as little grace as the grave digger in Hamlet does the skull, and appeared to think they were worth po more. I thought the horses seemed to feel the true dignity of their situation more than the drivers or employers. There was one whose carriage was particularly noble; be was a bright bay, and whether it was a span new harness which finely fitted his well turned limbs, or the consciousness of the weight of responsibility thrown upon him, 1 knew not, but as each successive keg struck the dray to which he was attached, he threw his head high in the air, stretched himself out., and ev or and anon pawed the earth with his hoofs, and seined anxious to depart. llow unlike new-reasoning, intelligent man, is that horse thought I; day after day, year after year, the former frets and worrio. in the dray of business, and to the last mo ments of his existence, neighs at the world for not placing on more weight fo*- him to '|rng to the brink of the grave. As I wended 'T 'V >*P Wall street, my wise head was. cO with such crude ideas as the above, hfe did not prevent me from concluding, after much deliberation, and carefully weighing the pros and cons—that if “I was not Job a--' than, I should wish to be a dollar.” A pap.s or silver dollar, there is tho rub. I like the looks of the double X’s, so I do these that have one straight mark, and two or three lit tle <?• rolling after them ; but still I should prefer to be a bright silver dollar—not o. Spanish dollar, with the head of a king on it. No I I am too much of the true nlue for that: but a U. S. dollar, with the eagle on one side, and liberty and the stars on the other. With such a fine expression of countenance, who could wag his way through the world better than your humble subscriber. From him, “Who knows no music but the dollar's clink,” would I remove far away, I would have no dealings with him ; my fine person should never be immured for years perhaps merely to gratify the cupidity of so great a churl— To the profligate anil vicious my acquaint ance should he equally limited. Neither would I lend my aid to support the female lost to virtue and honor. The pockets of tho idle spendthrift tvho knows my value only as it contributes to his pleasures, should never be garnished by me. No! bettor deeds I 1 would accomplish. In the asylum of the ipoor and needy would I reside, to dry the tear of the w idow, and make glad the heart? of the fatherless—should be my peculiar pro vince. Melancholy should retreat at my ap proach.jmd joy light up the face of the mourn er. For this !;e all; among the news-paper printers I would be a second Robin Rough head; it should be one long play-day with you; that is what I would da if I was a dol- Hr, an i nqjt JONATHAN.
