POETRY. “A poet’s hand and prophet's fire, Struck the wild warblings of his lyre.” From the .Iffictinu's Gift for 1652. MARY LEE. I wandered forth at close of day. To breathe the evening air; Not yet was drawn the curtain gray, Which hides the liowrets fair. They blush’d in beauty ’neath tny tread, And all their rich perfume Around in generous fragrance shed, Unwitting of thetr doom. I could not choose, but bid rny eye, In simple gladness, rest Upon tbe gorgeons drapery That lin’d die lovely west. And fain wa9 T to hear the note, The blackbird gaily sung, As on the air it seem’d to float,-.- And o’er rny heart-strings rung. f reach’d the brook, and inassy stono, Where lingering still for me, Was wont to sit—till twillight lone— My little Mary Lee. ° tier knitting in her merry way, Would Mary hold on high, And all the progress of the day, Upon my finger try. &he was not there—not richly now To me the sunset beamd’d ; iue blackbird carroll’don the bough, But not for me it seem’d. More bright than these was Mary’s look, W hen yesterday it shone ; More sweet her voice, when o’er the brook She sent its joyous tone- I hasten’d onward to the c o t- Where Mary’s mother dwelt, — V. hy .seem’d it such a lonely spot* 1 never tjiue had telt. The woodbine now'as gracefully Around the porch was hung, Tile little gate with motion free As hospitably swung. f paus’d a raoment-s-and a groan Fell deeply on my ear; ° l enter’d—it was Mary’s moan— She knew not I was near. She knelt beside her mother’s bed, Her head was resting there: P® mother’s struggling breath hat! fled— Her daughter knelt in prayer. And tears came gushing on her cheek. And sobs convulsed her frriue : f heart! the little sufferer speak- It was her mother’s name. Come to my arms! poor child, I cried, Come hither Mary Zee, God has been lavished to my pride, I’ll share His gifts with thee. She leant her pale cheek on my brca6t, I press’d her to my heart, — And from that sacred place of rest, No more shall she depart. C. G. Deferred Articles. From the Southern Recorder. Tdr. llkzkkiaii Nii.cs.—This gentleman, %vc need not tell those conversant with the ! agister, is and has been the principal organ of the tariff, or more jirojterly the manufac turing party. He has laboured, late and early, to show (fiat the South should he happy tn the destiny to which he thinks it doomed —happy in the consciousness l that although its pc ople are to ho robbed of the fruits of their labor, the manufacturers will he enrich ,Vl by >t. He has exhausted the modicum of talent of which he is possessed, in vitup ra tion and abuse of all those in favor of free trade and equal rights. South-Carolina N'ul tfication has been to the worthy gentleman, a rich, a fruitful theme, upon which he could nt pleasure muster a storm of words, a cata ract of eloquence, as unintelligible, if not ns sublime as that of the mighty Niagara it e. It. it is impossible to describe thcvchcm f nee of bis indignation, at the dmunionists, or the withering blasts of scorn, which, like ♦he scathing Sirocco, have from time to time, swept over the trullitiers, from the pages of •he Register. We request the attention of o :r readeis to the following tirade in a late i amber of his paper—it is in reference to Mr. McLane’s proposed tariff hill. ’* Tor our own part, we would rather sit down, and coldly ‘ calculate the value of the Union,’ than accept this unjust, and abomina ble—this ill digested and conflicting—this British pauper feeding, and American pauper making, scheme. But, and if it shall pass, through the force of party discipline or from .othercauses, among them possibly British Gold—it will soon he repealed by the united operation of at least a million of musket bear ing freemen—whose 4 nullification’ is exter mination ; who have full power to do all that they will, in the work of 4 reform.’ Let there be peace ; let the people instantly meet in every State, county, city, town, village or hamlet. and sav to their representatives, THIS DILL SHALL NOT BECOME A LAW.” Exterminating million of musket hearing -freemen! How ineffably ridiculous! The poor old man must have been dreaming of the comet. Extermination and Freedom are rojM'ilants; there is no aliirmity between * hem ; they will not remain in the same company. Cm Air. Niles, in all the writings of the nulifiers, point to a single passage, so utterly at variance with the peace and harmo ny of the Union, as this precious morcean? The utmost extent of their doctrines is, that they continue to pay unjust tribute, they dust he compelled to do so by force. But Mr. Niles'nullification is of a very different character—if you do notallow us to rob our neighbors to our hearts content, we draw the exterminating sword against government and people.” Think twice, thou Quixotic of fnamifacturers, thou Prince of weavers, think twice we pray thee, before thou commences! Ui* crusade of extermination. Think of ’the banner you would oppose, and of that un der which you would marshal! your million.' The banner under which he is ranged, is much to a soldier ; his eye kindles as he 'oaks upon iis bright folds; with its insignia, is identified his honor and his fame; for it ho htaveiy fights—in its defence he noblv Jtes. If it is fated that the sword must be '♦nwn, ( btvli Hod forbid contra** pr.iv j thee, thou champion of exaction, the banners of the opposing legians. On our’s you would recognize the spirit of ’76, and those words of light —Freedom , Justice , and Equality. On your’s, what should we see? that which would make paltroons of braver men than your exterminating million ; we should be hold the withering countenance of Avarice, with a shutter to one hand, and a spinning jenny in the other; and under such a ban ner, we defy Goliak of Gath to fight. We would pray you too, when you wish a theme for the exercise of your rhetoric, to pass by the peaceful champions of nullification, and descant more at large, upon your own text, the “ Exterminating million of musket bear ing freemen .” Extract of a Letter from Greece. —“ I of ten write and receive letters from Mr. Good ell, who is now in Constantinople, and with his family are inmates of Commodore Porter’s house, and have charge over his domestic establishment. It is a fine trait in the Com modore’s character that after they had literal ly lost every thing they had in the world, by the tire at Peru, he invited them to his house soon after ho arrived, and makes one of their daily family alter and his parlor is Mr. Good ell’s chapel every Sunday.” JII.M EELAAEOI *• TUI; IRISH EMIORAN'T. Born in the country of affliction—his days were days of sorrow. He tilled the soil of his fathers, and was an alien in their land.— He tasted not of the fruits which grew by the sweat of his brow, lie fed a foreign land lord whose face lie never saw, and a minister of the gospel whose name he hardily knew —an unfeeling bailiff was his tyrant, and the i tax-getherer his oppressor—hunted hy un righteous magistrates end punished by un just judges. The soldiers devoured his sub stance; and laughed his complaints to scorn —he toiled the hopeless day, and at night lay down in weariness. Yet noble was he of heart, though his es tate was lowly—his cottage was open to the poor—he brake bis children’s bread, and ate of it sparingly, that the hungry might have a share—he welcomed the benighted traveller, and rose with the stars of the morning to put him on his way. But his soul repined within him, and lie sought relief in change. lie bad beard of a land where the poor were in peace, and the laborer thought worthy of his hire : where the blood of his fathers had pur chased an asylum. He leads the aged parent whom love grapples to his heart; he hears his infant in his arms —his wife follows his weary steps—they escape the barbarous laws that would make theii country their prison, they cross the trackless ocean—they descry the promised land; and hope biightcns the prospect to their view ; —but happiness is not tor him. The ruthless spirit of persecution pursues him through the waste of the ocean. Shall his foot never find rest, nor his heart repose? No! the prowling bird of prey 1 hovers on Columbia’s coast—wafted on ea gle'* wings the British cruiser comes-ravishes the poor fugitive from the partner of his sor rows and the tender pledges of their love.— See the haggard eyes of a father, to which nature denies a tear! a stupid monument of living death. lie would interpose his feeble arm but it is motionless—lie would bid adieu but his voice refuses its office. The prop of his declining years torn remorselessly from before him, he stands like the blasted oak, dead to hope and every earthly joy ! REFLECTIONS OV DEATH. There is no subject that is calculated to inspire the mind with moreglooiny sensations than dissolution. Let the imagination wan der free and unrestrained upon this melan choly theme and it will gather in its wander ings many a warning admonition —it brings conviction to the mind riot only of its certain ty, but the necessity for preparation, it awa kens the reminiscences of our youth, and recollection ponders over its devastating work. Where are our juvenile associates, the com panions of our more innocent, virtuous days ; those to whom wc became early attached to in those bright, those halcyon days of bliss? Go ask yon cold and cheerless marble, in si lent eloquence it marks the pensive spot where the venerated form reposes. Look what a chasin its unrelenting scythe lias made in friendship’s circle—its iron links have been rent asstinder—the loved object endeared to memory and our hearts aro torn forever from our affections—all have to bow to the mighty mandate, the herald of our God th.:t ushors all mankind into eternity ! hero arc our kind and tender parents who watched over our infancy, and with ten der anxious solicitude nourished us until the hud of childhood ripened to maturity ? Be neath yon cold and solitary mound they sleep the dreary sleep of death—they slumber peacefclly beneath that little hill that marks the final resting place of man. W ander through the cheerless yard where thousands quietly repose—what pensive thoughts flow calmly through the imagination —it is indeed a pleasing melancholy—a tran sient passport for the mind from wondly to celestial regions. Each grave registers a being who once like ourselves teemed with health, activity, and every prospect of a life ripe w ith age. How promiscuously they lay, the old and young, the ricii anti poor lay side by side; unconscious of their pains, theij pleasures, wealth and poverty; the same pale stone reared to the memory of the aged and venerable points where the young and beauti ful repose. It is a fate that awaits:)* all Death rides on every passing breeze; we sec our friends and relatives gathered daily to the tomb of their fathers. Generation after generation pass into nonentity. Our bosoms may next he pierced by his icy dart. Ho may be present at our next repast. He maybe waiting at the throshold of our door for iis ; and when wc retire to our nightly, natural repo.se!. bis hand may seal our eyes in eternal slumber. But how often do these reflections which for a transient w hile occupy the mind, pass oil like the clouds of night before the using sun; still they are relictions which sliould be deeply inculcated in every breast, i never to he be erased but hy the powerful in fluence of that deputed messenger if God. WILFtED. TEMPER ACNE. “ The habit of intemperance, to a greater or less degree deprives human clnracter of some of its most valuable properties, not for the time merely, during which tie excite ment continues, but for all time tml under trie most favorable subsequent cirei instances. To say uothingof that moral obliqtity, which is to be expected from the degraded being who voluntarily deprives himself of reason, there is a consequent feebleness of judgment, a sickly and vicious imagination, an imbecili ty of accurate recollection, which are pain fully perceptible to every one, who is placed in a situation where the testimony of such men is ordinarily adduced ; and it is among the most destructive conscquenscs of the vice of which they are guilty, and one, we think, which has not yet been sufficiently re garded, that the poison which has destroyed their own characters is thus throvin off to enter into and contaminate the very aliment of society. It should incourage those, who are concerned in the great work of promo ting reformation in this respect, that they are thereby purifying our courts of justice, and thus advancing all those most important in terests, which it is the business of society to secure.” Sadness —There is a mysterious feeling that frequently presses like a cloud over the spirits. It comes upon the souhl in the bus tleof life, in the social circle, in the calm and silent retreat of solitude. Its powers are alike supreme over the weak and iron hearted. At one time it is caused by the flitting of a single thought across the mind. Again, a sound will come booming across the ocean of memory gloomy and solemn as the death knell, overshadowing all the bright hopes and sunny feelings of the heart. Who can describe it and yet who has not felt its bewildering influence ? Si ill it is a delicious sort of sorrow ; and like a dimming the sun shine of the river, although causing a mo mentary abode of gloom, it enhances the beauty of returning brightness. A MISTAKE OF COURTSHIP. Personal resemblances are no doubt very frequently so strong as to be confounded ea sily. 1 knew an instance of a person paying ins addresses to one sister, and offering to the other hy mistake, was accepted and married; and he did not discover the blunder until iie found his spouse cared not for the charms of music, an accomplishment which the original object of his affections possessed. I also knew of an instance in which a person ran away with a young lady, where iie thought he had made a sudden conquest; hut it turn ed out that she mistook him for his brothel- Since, however, tiic ancients personated love as blind, such little mistakes are not to he wondered at, although to the cool observant eve of the naturalist, perhaps, the trifling dis crepancies overlooked occasionally will al ways be manifest.— Metropolitan. Tlie price of Liberty ifideriml vl^lluncc* A Political Adventurer. —A young man, at the commencement of his political career, is given plainly to understand that, if lie hopes to succeed, he must turn his talents to the advantage of liis party—that lie must have no opinion opposed to those which they entertain; and, that his success will ever be in proportion to his useful subservience.— This at once breaks down the w hole fabric of his former morality. llis first step as a po litical adventurer, robs him of his consci ence. Time, however, might possibly ena ble him to acquire new habits of thinking; to acquire what Mr. Bcnthan lias so aptly termed 44 interest begotten prejudices.”— His duties, indeed, will quickly be found to throw great obstacles in the way of such a consummation. The conduct of his employ ers utterly precludes the possibility of its accomplishment. He will find, that he is constantly employed to defend every species of abuse by plausible pretenses. He w ill he expected to discover good reasons ; to keep out of sight the real circumstances of the case, to substantiate favorable ones when pos siblc ; and to gloss over such as cannot ho hidden* His conduct and his language will thus be constantly at variance ; and whib he is making professions of pure virtue, lie w ill know himself by the very process to be utterly base and dishonest. Delusion even w ill be almost certainly precluded ; but least there should be a chance in favor of bis vir tucs, his superiors are ever careful by their demeanor to remark to him that he is not laboring for the interests of his own class They are to be found among the people, and with that class he must rank himself, however accidentally he may become the advocate of that of bis superiors. Thus the better feel ings, even of party morality, arc excluded from his mind, lie is never engaging on the side of his afTections—he does not unite himself heart and hand with his party, and merge the great precepts of universal, into ono narrow, but still general precepts of par ty virtue. There is always some advantage in having a preceptor or rule of conduct ex pressed in general terms, which have refer ence to classes of our fellow’ creatures— while the consequences to our followers, from (he actions we commit, are kept before us. some sympathy is kept alive in our bosoms, ! and some generous tendencies will remain with us. To make a man utterly and com pletely vicious, nothing is so efficient to make I. shape his conduct hy precepts which re gard himself alone; but such must be his case who is the partizan of a party, without being of that party. If he is their partizan, is solely because, by being so, he benefits Himself. They reward him, therefore he is their advocate. He loves them not—he is a renegade, to whom his employers allow not the privilege of oblivion. The compound of such a man’s mind is of a fearful descrip lion—dangerous to his dangerous to bis country. He is of necessity utterly! unworthy of confidence. Jit* is a scoffer at 1 all enlarged morality, all generous emotions ; lie is a disbeliever in human v irtue, a hater of { human nature. Such a man, when able,! turns round upon his employers ; he' becomes liberal out oi haste, or self-love* His good deeds arc not prompted by a love of ids spe cies, but either by loveof hiinsclf, or hatred oi others.— Westminster Review, From a Politieut Trad. RICH & POOR. Bv the existing Tariff law, anew science is introduced into custom bouse calculations, called the science of minimums. For instance, at this moment it a case of woollen goods is imported into Charleston of which the prime cost to the merchant in the country where he purchased and from whence lie brought them, is Between 50 and 100 cents per square yard, they will be valued at 100 cents. Between 100 and 250 cents per square yard, at 250 cents. Between 250 and 400 cents per square yard at 400 cents. And the duty shall be calculated accor dingly at the rate of 45 per cent on the va. lue ; not the real value, mind, but the value thus estimated . A man unskilled in the science of legisla tive robbery called minimums, And who should fiitd'iti the report of the Secretary of the Treasury no higher duty mentioned than 50 per cent ad valorem, would very naturally say, that 50 per rent was the highest duty laid. But suppose a piece of woollen cost at Leeds or Huddersfield in Yorkshire, 101 cents ; when landed at Charleston it would be estimated by the Collector at 255 cents, and the duty charged upon it would he 112$ cents: for if lUO cents pay to the govern ment 45 cents, what will 250 cents pay ? The following table has been calculated on this principle in the Banner of the Constitu tion, June 15, 1831 p 230. To which 1 have no objection, except that the actual duties are in a few instar ces rated from over abund ant caution, somewhat too low. TIIE Dixy ON CLOTH WHICH COSTS.

All this is in continuity to the great and leading feature of the adopted system that the articles consumed by the rich shall be exonerated or slightly burthened, while the great weight of taxation shall fall upon the poor ! And suppose that they do suffer uii dei the severe cold of our American winter, and arc unable to guard against Consump tions, Catarrhs, Pleurisies, Rheumatisms, and inability to work in consequence ; what care our legislators for that ?

He was not prepared to make a speech on this day, but no one else being disposed to address the Senate, he made a display of no diminished merit and an argument of con vincing cogency. 1 will not undertake to transfuse the effect of his eloquence ; 1 should fail and do him injustice; rather let me do him the justice to say, that his argument was not less creditable to his heart than to his head—it was the argument of the Orator, the Statesman, the patriot, the American. “ I will only inform you of one or two sug gestions which were thrown out by him for the consideration of the Senate and the coun try; and which, I think, are incalculably valuable, and worthy of ail commendation.— He says that in the United States, silver is estimated 100 high, and too low an estimate is placed on gold —that a reconciliation of the relative value ol gold and silver, would give the currency ef the country a firm basis, by procuring the introduction ol more gold than is now in circulation. He urges the fact, that the specie basis of the vast paper currency ol the country, is not large enough. The specie in the country is in amount about 25 millions, and the paper money amounts to more than 75 millions. How isthedesidera turn to be procured and retained? Not by the enactment of laws to coerce the Bank to hoard specie, nor by prohibiting the expor tation ol specie ; but by withdrawing from circulation, and forbidding the issue, by the 1 nifed States Bank as well as the banks of the States, all notes under the denomination of five, or even of ten dollars ; ami the con sequence isccrtain that specie will come in, and supply the place of these small notes, which now constitute one sixth of the paper maney in the United States. “ The renewal of the charter of the United states Bank, will encounter an active and able and energetic opposition ; in spite of which, however, I think the friends • of the measure will be successful.” Jhe New Orleans Courier, of the 28th ult. contains a correspondence between Colonel f asquez, the Military Commandant at Vein Cruz, acting under the orders of General Santa Anna, and J.- A. Casiphon, Ksq. Consul of the United States at that plane —I The Col. in a letter dated 4th ifist, demands | payment, within 41/ hours, of the bonds due | the American merchants to the Mexican Government, and threatens the seizure of their property, and imprisonment of their persons, in case of failure. Our Consul, in a spirited letter dated on the following day, declares the utter inability of the merchants, tram the stagnation of business growing out ot the operations of General Santa Anna himself, which has cut off ail communication w ith the interior, from w hence the means of payment are derived, ta meet these demands; and questions, even were it in their power, the propriety of their doing so, as the Mexi can Government, to whom the bonds were given, have expressly forbid their payment, except into the public Treaury at the City of Mexico, or to some authorized agent of the existing Government. We do not know whether an attempt to enforce payment has been made.— Charleston Courier. TUB OREGON COUNTRY. The country distinguished by this name extends from the JLooky Mountains to the Pa cific Ocean. From the various notices which we see of expeditions fitting out for the set tlement of this region, we think it probable that it will not be many years before some parts of it will become quite populous. Al though its most Southern extremity is in the forty second degree of North latitude, yet the climate is sa!to be remarkably mild and temperate, the winters being less cold, and the summers less, hot, than in similar lati tudes on the Atlantic coast. The soil too of money parts is resented as veiy fertile. The English have an establishment in this territory, at a place called Fort Vancouver. The respective claims of the United States and of Great Britain to a portion of the coun try, are vet unsettled ; but from its local sit uation it is not improbable that when the country becomes populous, an independent government will be formed, and that the claims of both the great powers above men tioned will be disregarded.

Eagle gives the an nexed account of w hat it well calls an almost incredible leap :— We understand that a few days since, just as a boat, freighted with iron and other arti cles, had turned the summit of the inclined plane on her descent at Boonton Falls, the chain broke, and the car being thus freed from the restraints of machinery, descended to the foot of the plane with great speed, giv ing the boat such a hasty plunge into the wa ter, that when she rose on the swell thuscrea ated, it carried her over the tow path at the bend of the canal near the plane, and prccip tafed her down a rocky precipice about 200 feet, where she now lies a heap of ruins not worth picking up—so high was she raisco by the swell, and so rapid her flight, that she scarcely touched the tow path or any thing else, until she struck upon a rock 30 or 40 feet below the surface of the canal, and broke in two near the centre—the two part.3 then continued to descend among the racks, where they now lay. The most incredible and re markable part of the story is, that there were four persons on hoard, a woman and three children, who went down the precipice with the boat, neather of whom received any mate rial injury. The captain and hands probably went on shore to walk down the plane, which ; is frequently the case. THE LOSS or the IIRANDYWrNP.

Ihe debate on the motion fora second reading of the Reform Bill was closed by Earl Grey. At the close of his speech bo made the following observations : “ W ith respect to the probability of the consequences of‘hat rejection, he would sav that every Minister of the Crown was bound to use all the constitutional means placed in his power for the preservation of the puiLc tranquility; but the danger of disturbance itself was not so great as that of an alienation of the feelings of the people from that house, and a withdrawal of the confidence which they bad been taught to repose in the Legislature. It was for this reason that he now implored their lordships to pass that hill, which, he hoped and trusted, would pass, and which, he believed, must pass, whoever might be come Minister of the Crown. Hu'ing already trespassed toe much on their lordships’ atten hen, he would merely take leave to say one word on a question winch had been frequent ly discussed out of doors, nd in which he was in some degree personally concerned. He alluded to the probable creation of peer?. All the best constitutional writers had admit ted that although the creation of a large num ber ol peers, for a particular object, was a measure which should rarely be resorted to, yet that, in some cases, such as to avoid a collision between the two houses, it might bo absolutely necessary. It was true that he (Lord Grey) was for many reasons, exceed ingly av erse to such a course, hut he believed it would he found, that, incases of necessity, such as he had stated, a creation of peers would be perfectly justifiable, and in accord ance with the best and most acknowledged principles of the constitution. Having said this much, he would remind those who charg ed him with upholding revolutionary doc trines, first he was merely laboring to carrv into effect that system which Mr. Pitt hail maintained to be just and honest one, during the period that iie appeared as the champion ot the people, and he should add no more than a last and earnest entreaty, that they would allow the bill to go to a second read ing that day, so that the country might have some prospect of the passing of such a bill as would prove ultimately satisfactory to all classes of the people.
