SLIDE'S AoRICUL TV UAL \ MERCANTILE
ADVERTISER.
\1 Y recent relinquishment of a participation
-ITI in the editorial labors of an old and weile
stablished journal, would seem to require but few
preliminary remarks, intho promised undertaking,
wete it not, that they are usually demanded by
public expectation, and sanctioned by custom
As there is no good reason why iliis ‘ time honored
observance” should be disregarded in the present
instance, I shall submit an epitome of my princi
ples, and the course which shall be obscived in
conducting anew journal. The object of the
proposed publication being purely what, its titio
implies, supercedes tlie title of that political com
mentary, which the doctrines of the day liavo
usually demanded; yet ns my former professions
are held with unabated attachment, and lliero
being no neutral ground in the conflicting and
varied sentiments, wnieh daily arise, as to both
men and measure”, it follows, that. [ should not on
ly make an exposition of my political tenets, hut
a so, that they th uld be boldly Fet forth, and
fearlessly defended. I l ave ever indulged an ar
dent .devotion to republicanism as tho term was
understoi dby its advocates in (W —a sacred re
gard to the letter and spirit of the constitution,
and a determined and fixed hostility to every
thing like constructive or implied powers—an ex
tension of equal justice to ail parties—that ail
power is inherent in and derived front the people,
us the or’gnal source mid uiim ito tribunal—the
independence and distinct sovereignty of the
states, and their confederacy as a union undor a
government limited ami actually defined in its
powers. These are prominent articles of my
po itical fa tli, and believing in their correctnoas
shall abide by them in every trial. Amneg tlie
many topics of deop interest that agitate the pro- |
bio of all c.lapgs. is the exorcise of uuwarantahlo
yovcrmi ntnl iiifl'tonca on tho industry and reso ire
es of the unconstitutional expenditure of the pub
lic treasure to objects of lateral Improvement—
measures too frequently destitute) o: general lien- ■
efit. and often times marked by a spirit of partiali- 1
ty. selfishness and injustice, ft would be criminal •
for one seated on “the watch-tower,'’ and in tho
exercise of the duties whfoh h dong to tho Press,
to observe With callous indifference, the causes
which have produced and the effects which liavo
resulted from tho lntitudinary construction of tho
vir.-titetion. The dingerons consequences
uhipli may ensue’, nip already indicated by the
excited foeiiiigs of tho country. lam deeply im
pressed that upe g lias been done, and evil tole
rated; yet with a spirit of forbearance, it would
be hetliqf>r. the .ppressn! to bear their evils
whilst they art tolerable, than “fly to those they

The present is an era in tiio history o( our gov
eminent, distinguished for imp.ovement. I'lio
'aver of his c<■tmtrv-hohnMs it on its “return
match - * io its original purity and principles. Al
toady lias tho distinguished head of tlie govern
meet said—“ The successful operation of th fed
eral system can only he preserved by confining it
to tlie foiv and simple, but ■ et important objects
for which it was designed.” This is a guarantee
that the purpose of the present executive of tho
nninn and his supporters is an effort to restore
the constitution to its orignal healthy ami unim
paired condition lam happy to accord witlfolie
administration and its friends in the wise and well
directed course which is pursued bv them.
The time was, when to dissent from the meas
ures of any of tho prominent parties of our state,
by an attachment to any of the others or to their
distinguished 01 pans, implied a hostility and acri
mony which frequently had no bounds, and ren
dered “wisdom, justice and moderation’ an emp
ty and absurd profession. The timos and circum
stances have now become more congenial to bet
ter feelings; tlie perplexing difficulties which have
•ttrrounded us. those emanating abroad, and fos
tsrr.d at home, have subsided with tlie acknowl
edgement of our rights, the successful accom
plishment of nrariv all tho ends which wo have
contended for. Iran review mv past course in
tclation to stnlo affairs, with cheering approba- j
tion; my future efforts will he intimately con- j
nected with the past; and it is hoped without of
f'mee to an adverse party. The writer does no j
believe ip the infallibility of man, nor of his.per- i
ft'etion as a party; it will therefore ho my constant
Him to support worthy men, and approve such
ortliothodox measures as cmanato froin genuine
patriotism and unalloyed republicanism—with
encli measures as will best answer tho ends ot
tree government, and of our slate s interest- —
such men as will “defend the rights of tho ponpio,
tlic sovereignty of tho slates, and tho constitution
al authority of tho union, against all encroach
taont.”
’t shall lie my st udious endeavor to make the ‘/a
tc/Ul'enetr’an Agricultu al A. Mercantile vehicle;
to effect it, 1 shall hasten to possess myself of all
the necessary metcri-ale which tlioso ample sub

and to pi *ase It is believed, that the .utuul

i WINTER.
; I come, I coma’ for tlie yeat L old ;
J Tim fields liavo doff’d tiioir mantle of gold,
j \nd tililing down from the shaking tree,
I*io blushing loaf fills whirlingiy.
Droops to old Ocean tlie weary Sun,
I‘, w the last of his radiant course is run;
And the earlv shadows of ev’ning grav.
Close the bright rqimd of the shorten’d day.
I come, with my snow-flake, Bootless white,
Wi'h my frosty chain for the waters bright;
W ith my pendant of diamond for hush and tree,
And the cricket chirping so cheerily.
I came with the shout of the festive throng,
With the merry tsio and the Uhristmos song;
With the laugh of tho vnung as tho stocking pours.
The torrent rich of its sugar'd stores.
T peep through the pano at tho biasing hearth
At smiles of age, and at childhood’s mirth ;
At the crowing babe, the npolauding sire,
Tha streaming urn and the cheerful fire
At *he blushing maid and tlie happy swain,
Seated apart from the merry scene ;
While soft as tho coo of the armorous dove,
Their whisnored breathings of lovo.
T come with my manle of feathery snow,
A nit breath on the chilly pane as I go;
T II ruinod tower and icy treo,
On tiio frosted window toll of mel
But, tlie wh-ale of my fairv work is done,
Wiien from tiio brght charriot the blessed Sun .
Casts his warm glances on rill and brae,
Till ths gladsome waters b-irst away.
Then buds tho young loafo, the gay birds sing,
Earth dins her greon mantle to uelcomo spring,
Young Zephyr on flowery sweets reposes,
And wild bees sport mid the new-born roses.

THE HUMORS OF AN IRISH THEATRE.
“Our amusement commenced the instant
we entered the lions *, in listening to a con

on the big drum. ‘Mr. Patrick JVlomrty,’

Patrick was lndiffcfe.nl, and referred the
matter to a commttee of females. 111 the

which another of his ‘divine* companions

Teddy, you iV-vil?*—‘ VV nut do y-u say,

you a jewe , now, to be sitting there at

of jornilomen come to hear yon thump you

tub?'
A popular air was at loangth deckled on
in the gallery, and a general d.iece insued,
as a sort of active preliminary to the a
uiusemer.t to come; but which proved high
ly unpleasant to us, inasmuch as the cock
loft being rather wide 111 its seams, out balk
and coats were presently covered with ns
thick a layer of dust as mi;.ht hive been
iiccumalated in u hundred nnlo’.s ride on tha
dicky of a coach. Thu exaltation of the

sbreks and cries, would have been rather
amusing, ha.) we not feared every moment
thaf the loft would come through. The
unformnUo fiddler, however, who minis
tering with great diligence to their diver

high excitement to permit accidents, or en
quire into Causes; and the musician s .sud
den defalcation from doty could only bo
looked at in the light of personal aUumi.
Tiio gentlemen above stairs had not broug’t

reader can imagin lioiv they revenged them

and then each, suitor grasped bis potatoe,
like a skillfull body of engineers, directed
a disc bat ge at the pericrauitmis of the

fei lines was managed witii such true aim
and vigor, tint the offender and bis comp i
nions made a speedy retreat behind the
green curtain. The potatoes being boiled
however, instead of indicting any injury,
conf* rred a ben* ft ; the fiddler was enabled
to pocket the a [front. A terrible upmar
now instted, and the manager was called

to trust his body within their reach, lie
bad then to assure them that the breaking
of the string was puiely accidental, and
that M’Ssrs Thadeus O’Hoone and Pat

and make an apology. Their enthusiasm
bid now passed away, and the ladies ami
gentlemen were now open to reason and

The Jew of Wilna.—ln the ndvance
«flhu French against Russia, a Colonel,
strolling the suburbs of Wilna, heard cries
«i distress from a house, an I entering to
ascertain tlie cause he found four soldiers
engaged in plundering and ill treating an e
ged Jew and a young girl. The marauders,
notyieing inclined to relinquish their prev’
proceeded to blows; but tlie Colonel, who
was nil excellent swordsman, laid two of
his assailants dead on the spot, and drove
the otner two from tlie house, severely
wuiinded ; lie himself received eight
wounds, nsul a ball graced h.s cheek. On
the return of the remnant of the French
army, oppressed with fatigue, want and dis
ease the worn out soldier, in rags, sanght
the dwelling of the Jew, an 1 with difficulty,
was recognized: so completely changed
was his appearance The Jew complete
ly furnished his wardrobe, and- contrived
lo send him through the hostile armies to
France. At the peace, the Colonel was
obliged to retiro on a miserable pittance,
which -an aged mother and sister also shar
ed. lie hail forgotten the Jew of Witiri,
when, one evening, in the spring of I’BlG,
a mart called at his humble abode in the
suburbs of Puis, and having satisfied him
self M to his identity, placed in his hand a
packet, and vanished . On opening it
the Colonel found bill* on a bank in Paris
to the amount of five thousand pounds,
with the following note :
“Me, whose and iijjhtcr you preserved,
whose life you saved, tin 1 whose hens,
protected from plunder at the risk of yon
own existence, sends you an offering r,f
his gratitude; the only return he requites
is, if jnu ever hear the Jews eontemneo.
you will sav, oneof ihat raco knew how
to be grateful.”
The old Jew died at Vienna; his daugh
ter, iho heiress of his immense wealth, the
largest portion of which was in tile French
fund, visited Paris; it was nataral s!n
should seek the bravo nun who had pre
served her from the wnrs of fates, and
