LINES FROM T. MOOBE’s NEW MELODIES. If thou would’st have me sing and play. As once I played and sung, First lake this time-worn lute away, And bring one freshly strung. Call bark the time when Pleasure’s sigh First breathed among the strings; And lime himself, in flitting by, Made music with his wings. Take, lake the w orn out Into away, And bring one newly strung, If thou would’st have me sing and play As once I played and sung. But how is this? though new the lute, And shining fresh the chords, Beneath this hand they slumber mute, Or speak but dreamy words. In vain I seek the soul that dwell, Within that once sweet shell, Which told so warmly what it felt, And felt, what nought could tell. Oh ask not then, for passion's lay From lute so coldly strung; With this I ne’er can sing or play As once 1 played and snug. No I bring that long loved lute again, Though chilled by years it Ire, If thou wilt call the slumbering strain ’Twill wake again for thee. Though time have frozen the tuneful stream Os thoughts that gusli along, One look from thee, like summer’s beam, Will thaw them into song. Then give, oh give that wakening ray, And,once more blithe and young, Thy bard again will sing and play As once he played and sung. From the Baltimore American. Portuguese legation unit Consulate General. Gentlemen —An article having been publish ed in the JVcw-Vork Times of the 9th July last, upon “Imitation Wines,” made in the ports of Cette and Marseilles, which was copied and pub lished in the Courier of the. Kith of the same month, the Commercial Association of Funchal, in the Island of Madeira, on reading its contents, perceived in it the intention of ruining the cre dit which their Wines and those of Oporto, have obtained, and of causing by this, diminution in their importations. In consequence of this, and noticing also, that the same article had appeared in the newspapers of the United Stales, tlie As sociation, in one of their meetings, passed the following resolutions, which were handed to me lately, for the purpose- of seeing them published in this country, it being one with which the lar gest commerce in their Wines is carried on, and that it may quiet the tears ol those who are con cerned in their importations. Baltimore, I3lh Dec. 1838. •hIAO ll’ AIMEIUA UK LA FIGANIKUE, Charge d’Aliuires and Consul General of Portugal in the U. hi. The Commercial Association of Funchal, in the Island of Madeira, in consequence of an ar ticle on “Imitation Wines,” inserted in the Times ol the 9lh of July lust, and copied on the follow ing day by the Courier, have charged the Direc tion to publish and make known the following resolution s. Resolved unanimous!;/, That the Commercial Association of Funchal, is of opinion that the article published in the Times of the 9th of July, in relation to the clandestine introduction of French Wines into this Island, is in every re spect false, mid inserted with improper views, and with the intention of ruining the great cre dit which Madeira Wines, have obtained. Resolved, unanimous/;/, That the Association knows that it is impossible for the said Wines to be introduced and re-exported, for the profits on the transactions, even if they were true, could never compensate the great and severe risks and expenses which it would require, particularly when all the inhabitants of this Island, are inte rested in preventing smuggling of such u nature. Resolved, unanimously. That it is necessary, and must be made public for the information mid interval of the iVatlons with whom Madeira has com uorcial relations, that the importations of any National or Foreign Wines or Brandies, is not permitted in this Island, and that the first can only be permitted in bottles, paying the very just and enormous duty of thirty-seven and u half cents per bottle. That the very same Wine of Madeira, once embarked, cannot be returned again to the Island, and that all these prohibitions are rigidly enforced under very severe penalties.

Symptoms uv hacking out— Coming to our senses—A new view of things —Your ballot box after all is the true touchstone ; how it sets polit ical men right as to public opinion—how it leads to reflection—recantation of error, and to sober second thoughts. When we preached sound doctrines to our friends, they said “begone your views arc not democratic ;’’ now they begin to think that, after all, we were not much out'of the way. The Utica Democrat, a Van Uurcn print, whose editor is a member of Congress elect, speaks very much like a sensible man, who is about ta king a now view of things. Hear him : “Away say we, with all parly paupers, who claim a living from the political party to which they belong, and who, in too many instances, have shown that they bad no oilier attachment to the party than they have love of office. That the party has suffered by tins ruinous policy none can doubt—so palpable lias (bis seemed to us, that we saw with much surprise in the Eve. Post, a paper generally right, an expression or regret that we should be unable, not having a majority in joint ballot, to send Mr. Catubroleng to the U. S. Senate ! as it none could be selected for that sta tion but one who had already been in office for a great number of years in succession—and it is with equal astonishment that we hoar from ditfer ent quarters that certain gentlemen, now high in office, and who will by the lute election lose their places, must be otherwise provided for. Let them provide for themselves, say we—“they have the same means of obtaining a living that lircetijoved by the millions who never held office.” Disguise it as we may, the recent election is a “loud call” upon us for reformation—let us set about it—let us profit by experience—and not de vote our remaining energies to sustain a system which has proved so ruinous. We entertain no political opinions which may not be freely spoken to friend and toe, and we hesitate not to say, if this desirable change of officers, this long looked for reform of a system which has made our par ty hut little better than a close corporation, choo sing its own successors, could not have been brought about in any other way. we rejoice that it has been in a measure effected by an opposition triumph.” Department of State, Washington, Dec. 20, 1838. Information lias been received at this Depart ment that all vessels arriving at Genoa from any part of America, including the West India Islands and Cuba, will in future have free pratique, pro vided they carry clean bills of health, and certifi cates from the Sardinian Consul, or, in his ab sence, from any European Consul, that the port from whence the vessel cleared is free from all contagious diseases, and especially from the yel low fever. Rem a ixa ais Coincidence.-—Our readers will recollect that the notorious Rebel Leader, Colonel James Philips, murdered a poor man, named Ed ward Cusac, a native of the County ol Armagh, Ireland, about four years ago; and was conse quently tried for, and acquitted of, the said Mur der, by a Jury of Radicals, in this District. The Widow and Family of Cusac, since emi grated to this country, and Ins two eldest sons, (William and George,) are Volunteers in Lieut. Colonel Oowan’s Regiment, At the battle of Johnstown, these young lads, with about 18 or 20 others, were amongst the first to cross the stone wall behind which the Brigands were entrenched. Philips the murderer of their Father, not more than twenty yards from them, and in the act of rallying his men, to resist the charge; when the two young men, with a third person, named Crawford, fired at him, and he fell. Upon examination, It was found that one of the shots pierced his body, and the other his right temple. Thus we find that murder will never be unrewarded; and that although excited and par tizan Jurors may acquit, yet that an Allwise Pro vidence that never sleeps, will not suffer the guil ty to go unpunished. Strange that after the lapse of so long a period, the Hons of Cusac, should come a distance of4ooo miles to avenge the death of their murdered Parent. “God sees with equal eye, as Lord of all, “The Hero perish and the Sparrow fall,” Hrockville fi/a/esman. From the Natchitoches (Texas J Herald. The Times, —It is a subject of universal re mark, that the times were never harder than now This is true in many respects. Money, certainly, was never scarcer, or more difficult to obtain.— But still we think we have many reasons for ex pecting soon a change for the better. Wc have now, in the Parish, ready for market, full half a million of dollars worth of cotton, the avails of which will give great and immediate relief to the community. 'Flic land sales advertised for the 28th Jan. will attract here, doubtless, many capi talists, who, when they sec the lovely country, in which we dwell, will be induced to make invest ments. not by purchasing land only from the gov ernment, but from private individuals. There arc thousands of men of capital, who if they knew the unsurpassed fertility of the Red River lands, would make settlements here; but who, laboring under the false idea that the country is not only a mo rass, but so sickly as to be almost uninhabitable, they remain at home, winning from the sterile regions in which they live, about one fourth as much us they could make here. This impression, however, is being fast removed, for already, many have come on, and arc delighted with the country. Our river is rising above, has risen below, and the mouth is cut out to six feet, so that the hard limes wliichjhavc elongated the phizzes of our friends, wili begin to wear away, the moment our eyes are gladdened with the appearance of a steam boat in opr waters. Outrage, —On Sunday last the Steamboat Kingston, Capt. Schultz, arrived here, via Charles ton from New York, hound to Mobile. She de parted again about noon of the same day. One ol the pilots, Lopez by name, was put on board, and the pilot boat, a small whale boat made fast to the steamboat, and lowed astern by their own rope. In approaching the bar, the steamboat went at such a rapid rate that the pilots were in immi nent danger of being towed under and losing their lives. The boat was some distance on the bar, and nearly swamped twice, being nearly half filled with water. J fie pilot hailed the captain, and begged him to curry less steam and go slower, oth erwise (as he could distinctly see,) their boat would be swamped, and they should lose their live,v, but lie paid them no attention. They then asked of him to cast oil’their rope, as it would probably sink the boat if either of them went for ward to do so, I’he captain instead of complying with their request held up to them a piece of iron bar which he had in his hand, in a threatening manner, and did not answer them. They again begged ot him to go slower or to cast off their rope, hut he would not comply—go that they had to let it go in the boat at the risk ol' being «w.v,up cd, the boat being hull full of water, and (hey were in the greatest danger of losing their lives, being on the bar, and a high sea running. When the steamboat had crossed the bur some distance, she lay too, to put the pilot into their boat. When they asked the captain for their rope, which he positively refused to give them, and he further refused to pay them the full amount of the pilot age, retaining therefrom two dollars. The pilot on hoard the steamboat seeing his comrades in such a perilous situation, and expecting every moment to see the boat sunk, wanted to go aft to lot go the line, but he was prevented by the captain of the steamboat. The conduct of the captain was extremely re prehensible, if the statement be true, and we arc not inclined to doubt its correctness. If there be any mode of punishing such outrageous conduct, it should be done. Lite should never be jeopardi zed by the whims and caprices ofany commander. — St, Augustine Herald, London Police.—A brace of fools.—On Wednesday, James Steel, a tradesman, residing in Broad street, Golden square, was brought be fore Mr. Chambers, charged with assaulting his wife. The complainant a very respectable looking female, stated, that on Sunday evening her hus band told her to dress herself for the purpose of taking a walk, but when she had dressed herself he refused to go out and not liking to-be made a fool of, she told him if he would not go out with her she would go alone, ami so she did, and after taking a very delightful walk, she returned home soon after eight o’clock, when her husband, being out of humor, vented his wrath upon her by in flicting sundry blows over her face, and not sutisli cd with that, took a razor out of the drawer, and holding it to her throat, swore ho would do for her. In answer to the charge, the defendant sta ted, that when his wife came home she was in a rather more elevated condition than when she went out, and which certainly did not tend to calm his previous excitement (for he was excited by her going out without his sanction,) and then she used some flippant expressions, which indu ced him to correct her by sundry slaps on the cars. Mr. Chambers—“ But what can you say to the razor 1” Tfie deieiicaiit said nothing, but shook his head. Complainant—“lsay, Jem, you should not tell falsehoods, I was not “ how came you so,” and you know it.”—Defendant—“ 1 think you was."—Mr. Chambers think you arc two very foolish persons to come here at all. 1 suppose the best thing will be for you to separate.” Defendant (faltering)—“ Yes, your Worship, I think so,” Complainant.—" Don’t talk nonsense, Jem; you know it we were purled now, you would be after me again before night,” (Laugh ter.) The complainant’s sister, who was stand ing by, said, “talk about parting them, vour Worship, it's all nonsense—they are eternally parting, but still they are never separated. (Loud laughter.) If fie don’t go after her, she is sure to be after him, and it’s generally a race which | shall seek each other first.” The complainant here burst into a hearty laugh, which was echoed by the defendant, and the mania very soon ap peared to have attracted every person in the office, the worthy Magistrate notexceptcd. Mr. Cham bers (laughing)—“ and pray what are you all laughing at?” Complainant—“To think what a parcel ot fools wc all are to come here.” Mr. Chambers,—“Well, I shall decide this warrant by ordering you to go away and kiss each other immediately.” The worthy Magistrate's advice was instantly adopted, and the “ happy couple" left the office arm in arm; and proceeded towards home, the complainant declaring that Mr. Cham bers had the best notions of deciding a ease ac cording to its merits of any person she ever met with, and she should certainly respect him as long as she lived. \ CHIIuNICLS AND SENTINEL, , AUGUSTA.

Wc shall probably receive the news here to-day. Murder. A letter to the editors of the Macon Telegraph, from Pond Town, Geo., states, that a wilful murder was committed in that village, on the night of the 12th inst., on the body of a traveller, named Charles 11. Harden, a citizen of Paulding county. He was about 45 years of age, one eye out; stated that he had left a wife and six child ren, and many relations in Paulding. Ho had a Road Wagon, and a number of articles in it.—His money was taken from him by some pickpocket. He was murdered by a man of the name of Jacob Carter, of Marion county, without any provoca tion. The murderer has been apprehended and lodged in jail. It is said, in one of the new Almanac’s, that the year 1838 completes the three hundredth an niversary of the introduction of printing into the United States. The t onslit ulional Convention ol the Territory es Florida assent!) led ut St Josephs on the 3d inst. and organized by Electing the Hon. R. R. Reid President—Fm y-stx delegates were in attendance.

The New Orleans Hoe slates that Smith, the young man who, a short lime since, robbed tbo post office tr. that city, by calling for a letter not his own, and extracting its contents (a 8100 bill,) has been found guilty, and sentenced, we understand by Judge Lawrence, ol the United States District Court, to ton years imprisonment, at hard 1 ibor. sugar crop. The Planter’s Banner of Franklin (Atlakapas) of the 13lh stales that in three weeks the process of su gar making will be completed. Many of the plan ters have already finished and are busily engaged in shipping. Although the crop is considered a good one, still it will fall abort of what was, some weeks ago, anticipated ; as the loss by frost, partic ularly on the coast, has been severe. The sugar which has been manufactured m Atlakapas, is said to boos it very fine quality—finer than that ol any former season. The Canal tolls of the State of Ohio,’for the last year are stated to be $415,000, showing an increase of nearly SIOO,OOO over those of the preceding twelve months.

Such however arc the necessary conse quences of free institutions sustained by entcr prize, and they speak volumes in favor of govern, raents that only interfere with their people so far us to aid ami protect their industry. Here we have the internal improvements of a young state furnishing not far from half a million of interest a year on its investments. From Canada. By yesterday's Express mail, wc received the New York Herald slip of the 22d, containing the following account of another expected out, break in the ill-fated Canadas. On Saturday last letters were received at Mon treal from the neighborhood of Caldwell's Manor, conveying reports that the Patriots and sympa -1 thisers were mustering in large numbers along 1 the frontier, at Champlain, Alburgh, Swanton, St. Alban's &e.; and on Sunday the Counnand i er-in-Chief received intelligence that a very strong • force was assembled on the other side of the line ! opposite Missisquoi Bay. After this information reached town, Major M’Gord was sent off to La prairie, St. Pierre, and Chambly, to order a por i tiou of the troops stationed at those places to pro ' eeed in the direction of the points where attacks . are supposed to be contemplated. We have at length something to communicate in an authentic shape, respecting the proceedings' or rather the results, of the Court Martial, as will be seen by the following from the Montreal Ga i zette of Saturday lust:— The sentence of the Court Martial, having been submitted to His Excellency the Adminis trator of the Government and commander of the Forces, has been approved of in General Orders, issued to day. By this sentence four have been acquitted, ten sentenced to death, six of which have been recommended for a commutation of the sentence of death, and four left for execution. We understand, that the fate of the prisoners will be communicated to them to day by the Judge Advocate; and we believe that no time will be lost in carrying the sentence into execution. It will thus appear, that any doubts which may have arisen, with respect to the constitution and legality of the Court Martial, have been com pletely obviated and set at rest. Eight prisoners were brought into Montreal on Sunday last from Bcauharnois, in charge of a few volunteers. The tour prisoners, Cardinal, Duquette, Lopa -1 lieur and one of the Thiberts, sentenced to be ■ hanged, were officially informed, of their fate last ■ Saturday afternoon, by the Judge Advocate. Goddu. one of the Bermuda exiles, was nr : rested a few days ago at St. Hyacinthe, and since brought into Montreal. It is not, we hear, for I any offence he has committed since his return, as i it is said he wrote Sir John Colborne where he might be found, should the government require any information from him respecting the future plans of his fellow exiles, which he had opportu nities of ascertaining while attending the meet ings with them in the United States. The official account of the battle of Sandwich says, that five of the Hritish were killed.—Mr. Hume, a French Canadian, the colored barber, and two militia men, burned to death in the bar racks. Twenty one of the patriots were killed in the fight; four were shot by order of Colonel Prince, and twenty-six taken prisoners. A num ber of papers were found on the pirates implicat ing numerous persons of high standing in the states. The following is a list of prisoners captured after the action at Windsor, near Sandwich, 4th December, 1838: Daniel Swoctman, United States; Daniel Ken nedy, do. do ; Israel Allwood, do. do; James M. Atchison, Scotland; Abram U. Sweet, United States; William Jones, do. do; Chancey Keldon, do. do; Robert Marsh, do. do; Joseph Hcrton, do. do; Israel Hcrton, do. do; Edward Armstrong, do. do; Charles Reed, England; Josiah Doan, Yarmouth, U.

Goodman, Uni ted States; Amos Parley, St. John, N. B. Rcdy, M. Stewart, United States; Cornelius Cunning ham, do. do; Abraham Tiffany, do. do. Sir George Arthur is angry with Col. Prince for shooting the prisoners. Dr. Morrison who was tried for treason intends to take his seat at the next meeting of the Provincial Parliament. The brigands at Prescott did not shoot two woman as stated. They were shot by the Canadian militia. The man whose wife and daughter were shot, was coining away from his house with a child three years old in his arms and his wife and daughter and a little boy by his side. They had no sooner appeared from the house, than the militia fired on them and shot his wife and daughter. Ho had a very narrow escape himself. One of the militia happened on the instant to recognize him, and knocked up the musket of his comrade who was aiming at him, so that the ball passed over him. The soldiers of the 83d, seeing the danger the man and his family were in from our own fire, beckoned him to come to them; he did so, and they told him they would protect him if he would stay with them. He stayed a few minutes, but as his wife was dying, he managed to get her down below, where she expired in two hours. The daughter is likely to recover. Besides these wo men and Captain Drummond, two of their own men were also shot by the militia through mistake. Bill Johnson effected his escape as follows: Johnson and Birge wore in the custody of the deputy marshals, McCulloch, Robbins and Mal colm; the former having some business to trans act at the Post Office, left the prisoners in charge of the two latter, in a room at the American (Au burn.) After Mr. McCulloch left the room, Mr. Robbins went to bed in a room opening into the one in which were the prisoners, the latter having previously taken off their boots and Johnson his coat. The'prisoncrs quietly pulled on their boots, Johnson his coat, both took their hats and deliber ately walked out, leaving their keepers—one in bed, the other sitting by the fire. Colonel Von Schoultz has left by hiswills4ooo to a young lady whom he was to marry—s4oo to the widows and children of the Canadian mi litia who fell at Prescott. A narrow escape from tire occurred in this city on Friday night last. One of the clerks in tlie store of Jeremiah Smith, on Cotton Avenue, who slept in the hack room, was awakened in the middle of the night, by a sense of suffocation. On rising from his bed, ho found the room filled with smoke, and (ho flames bursting up by the side of the wall through the floor! A bucket of water, wVicli w,v« utility at hand, served to extingush the fire. On search, it was found the tiro had communicated from the hearth of the adjoining tenement to the sleepers of this; and had it not been fortunately discovered at the time it was, not only the whole block, but probably all Cotton Avenue, would have been reduced to ashes. On Sunday night, the upper floor of the store of Messrs. Harwell and Obcar, next door to the above, was discovered to bo on fire, but owing to the time of night it happened, (about 8 o’clock) and the exertions of those who discovered it, it was subdued before any material damage was sustained. Had not the flames been discovered at so early a period, they would not have stopped short of the river, us it was a very blustering, windy night. We understand the (lie caught in consequence of some imperfection in the fire place.—Macon Telegraph . A melancholly accident happened on our river last Thursday, as Messrs. Conant, Kidd, and Stephen Smith, were on their way from a fish trap in the river, the canoe run against a sappling and over-set, the latter gentleman was drowned in attempting to swim ashore, leaving a wife and several children to mourn his un timely loss; the other two after hanging to the limbs of a tree for a considerable time, were finally brought ashore in a canoe, by Mr. Gideon Houghton. The body of Mr. Smith, has not yet been found.— Wetumpka Argus. From the New York Herald, Dec. 21. Moxkt Market—The bank manta in the in terior is progressing with great rapidity. Every mail brings news of some new institution starting up, all of them with large capitals. Twenty seven new banks have been started, the proposed capital of which is $286,650,000—511,000,000 of which have been paid in. Hero is an increase of bank capital truly as tonishing; but this is only a beginning. In the interior of the State the current of speculation is setting in this direction with a strength never be fore equalled. This feeling has reached a class of men seldom influenced by the spirit of speculation. The popularity of the new law, and the case with which good farms may be turned into bank capi tal, seems to have excited the farmers in an ex. traordinarv degree. As the new law allows only one half of the security to be real estate, bonds and mortgages are taken to this city and ex changed for Stale stocks, which are deposited with the Comptroller. The amount of bills al ready issued by these institutions is not large, from the tardiness attending their issues by the Comptroller. The amount of bills of circulation already ordered and in preparation, is hardly $1,000,000. These bills arc sought after with great avidity by the public at large, and are al ready producing case in the money market. This ease lends to new operations and speculations, which in turn create a fresh demand for money, and further expansions of circulation beyond what the wants of legitimate trade require. The currency then becomes depreciated. These banks based on real estate offer no remedy for this, and a general crush must be the sure result. Thus the new law. although it may provide ample se curity to the bill holders against ultimate loss, yet the great body of the people are not protected from loss arising from unsteadiness of prices and fluctuation of values. The Boston Daily Advertiser mentions the to tal destruction by fire on Monday night of the large Saw Mill situated on the “Dyke,” leading from the Roxbury Branch of the Mill Dam to Tremont street, and known as Baldwin’s Mills. 1 he fire is supposed to have been communicated by the sparks from the Locomotive of the Evening train on the Providence Railroad which passes dose by. Estimated loss $20,000 N. Y.

This number is less by nine than were embraced in the returns of October, 183'/, the present number in Boston being six less than were in operation at that time. The reduction in the amount of capital is §3,659,000. The present amount of capital stock of Banks in the State, is $34,680,000. The capital of the Banks in Bos ton, $18,450,000.

Courier, Morhok Massacue. —The worst and most barbarous attrocities reported of the Missourians toward the Mormons, are, we are sorry to say, confirmed. What can exhibit a more fiendish spirit, than the inhuman conduct related in the Louis Republican. That paper says, “vve understand that the company engaged in the at tack at bplawn’s creek, was not attached to any division of the army, hut was fighting on its own hook. The men were principally from Chariton county, and among the number was at least one member ot the Legislature, The enemy had ap proached within eighty yards of the Mormons be fore they were apprized of their approach. The Mormons had their families with them and to pre serve their lives, the men separated from them and took retuge in a blacksmith shop. Here the)' were murdered ! It is said that the Mormons had arms hut it is a little singular that they should have used them so ineffectually as not to have touched one of the assailants. The latter, in some instances, placed their guns between the logs of the house, and deliberately fired at the victims within. These reports are founded upon state ments of persons engaged in the attack ; and, bad as they are, arc not likely to be overcharged.

Fellow Citizens —The period for the new election of a citizen to discharge the duties ap pertaining to the office of Receiver of Tax Re turns, being near at hand, you will be called upon to select one of two gentlemen, who stand be fore you solicitants for your suffrages. One is the incumbent of the place, concerning whom I have but little to say, more than that from my earliest recollection, and I am no child, he has been a holder of otlicc of some sort or other, —“Jus- tice of the Peace,” or something else. Being myself a plain homespun Democrat, I imbibed in my early youth a strong attachment for that sterling feature in political economy of rotation in office ; I cannot therefore, upon the ground of principle, vote for him who is now in possession ot the office, and I have too firm a faith|in the purity of the yeomanry of this county, to suficr myself to believe for an instant that they cherish dissimilar views, in relation to this fundamental axiom of popular government, from this writer. Should the people of Richmond, in their wisdom be pleased to deposite their ballots at the ensuing election, in view of this grand element in the composition of our peculiar institutions, the gen tleman w ho has been for so many years a receiver of the perquisites of office, (I do not speak with reference peculiarly to his present one,) will bo admonished promptly but graciously to retire and make way for another. The candidate of my unqualified choice, and whom I do hope will be in good odour with the major part of our citizens, is, J. S. Walker.— He, it is, who is the opponent of the now Tax Receiver. I shall vote for him for other reasons in addition to the one already adduced; which, however, is to my mind, about the most cogent that could lie urged. I shall simply remark here, and it is spoken seriously, that Mr. Walker, is as fully competent to fill the station as is his com petitor. I trust that saying thus much of him will he deemed as no disparagement to the qualifica- the respectable, aged gentleman standing in the opposition. Mr. Walker, is a needy man, he has no property, from the income of which he may minister to his wants, and to the wants I and comforts of those around him. For reasons | best know to themselves, his parents, or those who had charge of his youth, thought proper to have him initiated to the mysteries of no trade, or taught no profession ; consequently, he is cut off from all reliance upon these sources for the procurement of food aad raiment. The sunshine of prosperity once shone brightly upon him, but the thick gloom of misfortune settled upon his prospects, and he is now scarcely able by dint of the merest drudgery to obtain the bare necessaries of life. Will you not then, people of Richmond, —can you not be induced to vote for this individual for an office, the emoluments of which, would render himself and his family, com paratively comfortable. Give him,fellow-citizens, the appointment which he seeks at vour hands. I can sec no valid reason, why you should not do so. He can and will execute the trust, should you see proper to commit it to his charge. Go to the polls on the first Monday in January next, with the firm resolve that Joshua S. Walker shall be your next Receiver of Tax Returns, and you will have done that for which the destitute shall rise up and call you blessed. December 24, 1838. ’ r.
