I. prospectis OF THE Ml Agricultural and Mercantile Intelligencer. ,y rcC ent relinquishment of a participation m the editorial labors of an old and welt journal, would seem to require but preliminary remarks, in the proposed under iakin<r, were it not, that they are usually deman ,Tw public expectation, and sanctioned by n'mn Vs there is no good reason why this ■time-honored observance” should be disregard , nt |„. present instance, I shall submit an epit ome of mv principles, and the course which shall h ' observed in conducting anew journal. The "Let ®f the proposed publication being purely v lat its title implies, supercedes the necessity 0 f that political commentary which the doctrines * the day have usually demanded; yet, as my former professions are held with unabated at * ichmeiit, and there being no neutral ground, in the conflicting and varied sentiments, which dui ■r -rise as to°both men and measures —it follows, ihnt 1 should not only make an exposition of my political tenets, but also, that they should be boldlv set forth, and fearlessly deleuded. 1 have over indulged an ardent devotion to Republican ism, as the term was understood by its advocates u 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 ail 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 vereignty of the States, and their confederacy as a Union, under a government limited and actual ly defined in its powers. These are the promi nent articles oi iny political faith, and believing in their correctness, shall abide by them in every trial. . Among the many topics of deep interest that aritate the people of ail classes, is the exercise of 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. The dangerous consequences which may ensue, are already iudicated 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 for the oppressed to bear their evils whilst they are tolerable, than “fly to those they know no* of.” The present is an era in the l.ntory of our gov ernment, distinguished for imp. vement. The e ver of his country beholds it on its “return march” to its original purity and principles.— Already has the distinguished head of the gov- eminent, said —“The successful operation of the federal system can only be preserved by confin ing it to the few and simple, but yet important objects for which it was designed.” This is a guarantee, that the purpose of the present Exe cutive of the Union and his supporters, is an ef : irt to restore the Constitution to its original healthy and unimpaired condition. lam happy accord with the Administration and its friends a the wise and well directed course which is pursued by them. ’ilie lime was, when to dissent from the mea cures cl any of the prominent parties of our State, by an attachment to any of the others, or to their then distinguished organs, implied an hostility u! acrimony which frequently' had no bounds, ■ ltd rendered “ Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation,''’ ■ n empty and absurd profession.

PHILIP PHANTOM. A FRAGMENT. He was a wanderer? far from his home He had strayed, in there in silence, stood Gazing mournfully on ths glittering foam, That sported gently on the rolling flood. The hour was calm ; all was at rest; Save him, the low murmnrings of the wave; And the cold nightwind that came from the west, And swept across the fallen stranger’s grave : On which the pale flow’r of the desert waste, ‘ i Waved its bright but fading beauties, in wild Luxuriance : fit emblem this, and chaste, To instruct man in lessons deep, tho’ rnild. From the wave he turned ‘ and, as his eye Rested on the rough time Worn stonfc, that kept The resting place of his friend in mem’ry, Ilis burden’d features relax’d ; and he w ept Long and sorrowfully ; for then, a thought Of their young years like the whirlwind, Across his brain ; and the remembrance brought Scenes of joy, and hope, and love o’er his mind, In all the freshness in which they bloomed, To cheer the morning of his life. ST. PAUL. : Thefollowing beautiful extract, is from an Eng lish Prize Poem on Athena. Here where wild Fancy Wondrous fictions drew, And knelt to worship ’till she thought them true; Hero in the paths Which baneful error trod, She great Apostle preach’d the unknown God. j Silent the crowd were hush’d ; for his the eye | Which power controls not, sin cannot defy; ” I Hlajhc tall stature and - the lifted hand, I And the fixed countenance of grave command : j And hisf thc voice which, heard but once will sink So deep into the Hearts of those that think, j That, they may live till years and years are gone, ! And never lose one echo of its tone. Yet when the voice had ceased, a clamor rcfcc : And mingled clamor rang from friends and foes : The threat was mutter’d, and the galling >-ibe, By each pale sophist and his paltry tribe : ’Fhe haughty stoic passed in gloomy state, Tho heartless cynic scowled hs grovelling hale; And the soft garden’s rose encircled child Smiled unbelief, and shuddered as he smiled. Paul tranquil stood, for lie had heard—could hear Blame and reproach with an untroubled ear; O’er his broad forehead visibly were wrought The dark, deep lines of courage and of thought; And if the colour from hie cheek was fled, Its paleness spoke no passion and no dread, The meek endurance and the steadfast will, The patient nerve that suffers and is still, The humble faith that bend to meet the Rod, And the strong hope that turns from Man to God, All these were his, and his firm heart was set; He knew the Hour must come—but was not yet* TIME’S SONG. O’er the level plain where mountains Greet me as I go, O’er the desert waste where fountains At my bidding flow, On the boundless beam by day, On the cloud by night, I am rushing hence away ! Who w iir chain my flight I War his weary watch was keeping r I have crushed his spear; Crief within her bower was weeping. 1 have dried her tear ; Pleasure caught a minute’s hold— Then I hurried by, Leaving all her banquet cold, And her goblet dry. Power had won a throne of glory— W here is now his fame ? Genius said—‘l live in story V\ ho hath heard liis name I Love, beneath a myrtle bough, Whisper’d why so fast I And the roses on his brow Wither’d as 1 pass’d. I have heard the heifer lowing O'er the wild wave’s bed, I have Seen the billows flowing Where the cattle fed ; W here began my wanderings l Memory will not stay : W here will rest my weary wings 1 Science turns away! From the Philadelphia Album. ABSENT FRIENDS. How many hours of sweet yet pensive re flection <lo we pass, as memory “calls up tt> view” those hallowed elteerers of the rough Jnd broken path of life. How pleasant it is to think that those whom time and circum stances have separated from us, w ill ere long return to gladden us w ith happy smiles, and cause our deserted hearts to “blossom as tho rose.” There is something chastening and holy in the thought of absent friends—of those who have partaken with us the innocent sports of their childhood, and made our breasts the re pository of their little sorrows, and in by* gone— after years, when time and trial had chilled the aspiring hopes of our ear lier existence, been one with us m peril and Safety, in pleasure and in pain. In recurring to thoughts ol absent friends, we cannot but remember with rapture the one whom wc hare loved, and shall ever love, with a devotion as pure and and isinterested as that of a brother for a sister—she who is the “light of our path,” for whom we would sacrifice every thing earthly, and with whom wc would gladly pass every coming moment of our existence—she in whom every boyish dream has been cen tered, tvitii whom we talked of bliss to cornc, and for whom w e would have died, if the sa crifice had been demanded. Yet, in the re trospect of the feelings, tho thoughts, tho love of one who is “all and all” to us, one who is almost the engrossing thought in ail seasons, we must remember the meek and pure devotion of a sister’s affection, the high and noble disinterestedness of a brothers,and the enduriftg, changeless, and undying fond ness of a mother’s love Our hearts grow light, and bound with rapture at the content- i plation—these feelings are too refined and sylph-like for the air of earth, and should ex ist only in the atmosphere of and more pure and heavenly clime. Oh, wo to him who has no friends. Some there are tvho wander over the surface of the globe with no eye to please, *no heart on which they can lay the gathered offerings of years of exile and change, no hand to welcome the worn wanderer with a friendly grasp to his own dear home. On the other hand, he who possesses friends, will, when ho is absent in a far and strange land, imagine ‘ that every scene is mere blooming and evert face happier ; as he paints to himself the bright smile which will mantle the check, and play around the lips of the early loved, when he recounts to them the joyous scenes and imminent perils through which lie has passed, and contrasts them with delights of his own cherished home. All past percep* lions and remembrances grow dim and fad l ’, before the boundless tide of bits#/ which swells within the heart of man when he re turns to his home and the dear domestic round, and w hen he grasps the honest and ' faithful hand ol him who has forgotten him in a separation of many years. I hose are the green spots in the deserts of our existence, the only places on which the eye may linger or the weary foot find rest, as f we plod mournfully and mechanically on to the all-devouring tomb—the tomb, that cirenir ed and dreadful receptacle of the living, that Rubicon which we all must pass." Tim thought o/ourfrxe’nds is even there. When man “ lieth down to die,” his most earnest and pervading hope 13, that he may be united with his friends. And if he and they have passed this w earying pilgrimage “ pans pour et sans reprochc,” it will be so. Theta will they meet, and form a family among the lies*. Romost.
