Oh, songstress, sing lr me again
The ong of ‘‘Bingen on the Rhine,”
>Vnd let me hear once more the strain
That trembled on those lips of thine.
There is a pestle touch of woo
Which broken-hearted ori doth lead,
And only those can ever know,
Who have loved ami lost a friend.
There Is n grief the heart conceals
Frt.m the coid world’s careless throng;
A grief which stricken love reveals,
And only utt* ranee seeks in song.

After the rude wlrd long hath passed;

And with the pulse's throb ‘twill last.

How to Build up a City.
The Ili'htrtnnd Examiner, in an excellent ar
ticle on this subject, makes thiFfoHowing truthful
allusion :
“Newspaper* are to a town what its advertise
ments are to its merchants. They do for a town
gratuitously what advertising dot's for a man of
business at a high cost. They concentrate pub*
lie attention upon its building*, its rights, ‘I on?,’
and wonders, its attractions of every name aid
class, uppermost to the public, mind. They mo
into every nook and corner of the surrounding
country, into every man’s door, and to every
man's fireside ; they go abroad lo great distances
into oilier communities, among strangers, esc I
t ing an interest among its concerns, and spread*
Ing information of its trade and attractions Wher
ever they go. The more I tic public at large
hear and lead of a town or country, the more
they are tempted to see, visit, and explore it.—
What would a merchant be if his name were
Unknown to the public, and his business were as
obscure as bis name ! Wliat would a merchant’s
High board ever the street door of his store do in
attracting trade, it lie did not send it with a cat
alogue of his wares, in a newspaper, to every
man’s door ? Who would be tempted to visit a
town that bad no newspapers, and which they
should hear of only accidentally u:;d once In n
year or a life lime V
A good newspaper gives more importance to
n town than all other agencies combined. What
passion is more universal than the passion lor
reading newspapers and learning the nows!—
What disposition is moro general and uncontrol
lable, than the disposiiion to visit places that we
hear of and read in every newspaper that comes
to our door ?

A committee of Council Ho. 12, of the Fifth

“Resolved. That the American party, holding

or secret, of whatever enemy may assail it To
that end, it will insist upon a strict ct nstniction
of tire Constitution of the United Stales, in accor

By an agreement entered iqto between the
Proprietors of the Albany Patriot ami the
Courier, we have'd, e.ided to adopt, henceforth,
the CASH SYSTEM for subscriptions to our
respective papers. Therefore, ive shall enter no
subscriber's name upon our books until we have
received Die cash in hand. We are compelled lo
adopt this rule in self defence. We cannot af
ford lo pay cash lor papers Irik, &c., ant wait
one, two. and three years lor subscribers to pay
up. The losses we have hitherto sustained by
the credit system, have taken off what little profit
we might have made had all of our subscribers
paid their dues promptly.
This new rule will, we Inis’, be alike benefi
cial lo subscribers and publishers. Every liberal
minded person will at once see the necessity of
its adoption.
Those of our subscribers who are more than
one year in arrears, will please remit lo ns the
money, at once, nr else inform us if they ever
intend lo pay, that we tiny act accordingly.
The credit system, so prevalent in the South,
js the main cause of the present “hard times.”
If you pay Peter 1.0 will pay Paul, Paul will
pay Jacob, and so on ; and thus two dollars, by
successive changes from hand to hand, would in
due course of time pay two thousand. Try it

The voluntary aid we have received in sub
scriptions from our Iriends is gratifying to us.—
Without an effort on our part this paper has at
tained a circulation of between COO and 700 cop

secure that number we design enlarging the Cou
rier, and giving it anew dress. This would be.
as much to the advantage of our subscribers as
to our-elves. We have issued anew prospecljisy
and ask otir party friends to exert their influence
in behalf of the paper, VYer.iin do nothing with

we most earnestly enjoin upon our sub

Wq dislike to trouble our patrons, but feeling
tliai we must do so a little, at limes, we trust theft
it v ill not be In vain.
T lie times arc hard, we are aware, but r.ot so

Our neighbors say that our salutatcry is “ratj
er too strongly tinctured with Know Nolhingipi
to be altogether palatable to their Democratic
taste.” Is not that an acknowledgement that
they believe no democrat would sanction the!
principles of the American party? Mr.Ellis,the
Editor of the American Organ, at Washington,
is a Democrat, and thousands of as pure Demo
crats as ever graced the ranks of the Patriot’s
party, are now found “cheek by jowl” with the
Know Nothings. Scores of good Democratic
papers have openly avowed their favor of the new:
party, and we would not be at all astonished if!
in less than one year, the Pa/riot should be fount
among them. We dare say, at least, one of the
getlllemcn of the Patriot is convinced that tht
America!} party will triumph in Georgia, in tin
approaching gubernatorial contest, and that Im
pride alone,, prevents him from making a publia
confession ol the fact. They feel it liicir rfutjf
oppose the American party, to keep up their cour
age, as a frightened school boy does, by whisljr
ing, in passing through a grave yard in the dust
of the evening. We would advi-e our neighbors
to “take it easy we know lire dose is unpala
table, but, nevertheless it will terminate in pur.-
fication. Our country needs patgrng, ai.d Dr..
Sam will see that the proper remedies are judi
ciously administered.
We would further advise our neighbors o
study carefully tbe platform of the American
Parly, we published last week. It was takin
fionr the organ of the Know Nothings, or Amer
ican party, and, therefore, must he correct. As
our neighbors have harped strongly upon rei
giou.-i intolerance, charging our party with per
secuting men on account of their religious opin
ions, we in.-ert, below, the eighth section ciftiie
Platform, that they may he undeceived :
“We shall oppose and protest againstall abridg
ments of religious liberty, Holding it ap a cardi
nal maxim, that religious failti is a question be
tween each individual anil liis God, and over
which no politic 1 1 government, or other l umtn
power, can righltully exorcise any supervi.-ioo cr
control, at any lime, in any place, or in any
form.”
Does that smack of religious intolerance ? I
tliere a word in the whole platform of principles
of the American party,denying the right to wor
ship God according to the dictates of yettt
own conscience ? If there is, we would be glad
to have it pointed out tons. Our neighbors are
respectfully invited to dissect tbe platform and
give us the result of their labors.

The following letter, as ,ve learn froth the Phi
ladelphia Daily NeWs, is taken from Sparks’ pub
lication of the Washigton papers :
White Plains, July 25,1778.
To Gov. Mounts, Esq —Dear Sir: The design
of this is to touch cursorily upon a subject .of very
great importance to the well being of these State.-;
much more so than will appear at first view. I
mean the appointment of so rfiany foreigners to
office of high rank and trust in our service.
The lavish manner in which rank has hitherto
been bestowed on those gentlemen will certainly
be productive of one or the other of two evils—
either to make us despicable in live eyes of Eu
rope, or become a means of pouring them in up
on us like a torrent, and adding to our present
burdn.
Cut it is neither the expense or trouble of them
I most dread; there is an evil more ex'ensit c in
its nature and fatal in its consequences to be up
prehended, and that is the driving ol all our offi
cers out of the service, nd throwing not only our
own army, but our militaiy councils, entirely in
to the hands of foreigners.
The officers-, my dear sir, on whom you must
depend for the defence of this cause distinguished
by length of service and military merit, will not
submit much, if any longer, the unnatural promo
lion of men over them, who have nothing more
than a little plausibility, unbounded pride ami
ambition, and a perseverance in the application
to iuppoit their pretensions, not to be resisted hut
by uncommon firmness: men, who, in the first
instance, tell you they wish for nothing more than
the honor of serving in so glorious a cause as
volunteers, the riext day solicit rank without pay ;
the day following waul money advanced to them,
nnd in the course of a week want lari her protec
tion. The expediency and policy of the measure
requires to be considered, and whether it is con
sistent with justice or prudelice to promote these
military lorltine hunleis at the hazard f our
army.

Building Ac., in Albany.
In taking a somewhat more extensive stroll
through our city, a few days since, than is usu
al with us, we were struck with the number of
buildings recently erected or now in process of
erection. Besides the Episcopal Church and the
County Buildings, there are several.elegant pri
vale residences going up, which spenk well for
the taste of our citizens. Numerous houses ol
less pretentions have recently been built in vari
ous parts of town ; and additions and improve
ments have been made toothers.
One very gratifying fact which must strike
every observer, is the improved ta?to exhibited
in several of the buildings now going up. Hith
erto our people have been somewhat behind the
times in this matter, and we are pleased to see
that a more elevated standard is being adopted.
It not only adds to the beau e of our town, but it
shows that oar citizens feci a permanent interest
here, and desire to mike tiieir homes pleasant
and attractive.
