- iron THE GAzETTnb
Say, who is this, that weary comes,
’ Ascending Calvary,‘
Surrounded by a ruffian band,
VVitlt shouts of victory?

Say, who is this, that meekly yields
His feet and hands to pain,

While nutiierotis multitudes heltoltl,
And joy to see him slain ?

i

Who is this lifted on the cross,
Vifltose temples thorns have torn ;*
At wl_rose complaints the priests insult,
And wag their heads in scorn ?

lVlio, that amidst his dying pangs,
And in his sore distress,

Thus deeply to his God complains
The liidings ofhis face?

Attend the truth, wliileiiature speaks
Her awftil accents hear ;

Learn wlto thus iireekly yields to death,
Nor scorn the falling tear.

The astoirished stiu witlrdraws his beams,
And darkucss veils the sky,

.As if he said, “ None by my light
Shall see my Maker die.”

The qtrttking earllr and rcntling rocks
The unrigliteous deed attest,

And while ilteir great Creator groans
_Tliemselve‘s refuse to rest.

The rendirig veil and rising tleatl
Unite with one accord,

All forwarrl to proclaim abroad
The sufferings of the Lord.

Mate nature thus proclaims the trtrtli
\Vit|i universal nod,

Till titan, reluctant, cries at length,
“ This was the son of God.”

From the IfV'L"w-I'[(l1I‘lpSfl’fI'6 Patriot.
Mn. I‘IlLL——TliP enclosed letter fr. Ct')lll'l‘-
sellor Sanipson, 'ofNew York, lately fell into
my hands. I believe it is generally known
that he was one ofthe Irish patriots who for
feited ministerial favor for cspotisirig the cause
ofthe cltildren of Erin, in the. errrly part of
this century, and \\ as l):ll'll.~ll£‘(l about the
satire time that Cotinscllor Eiirniett experi-
enced tlie same fate and for the same cause.
The vein of caustic wit that runs tliro’ the
whole struck me very forcibly; should it
have the same effect on you, it is at your ser-
vice for pitblication. IIJPIIPVB the letter has

MY LoItD,——Accor-ding to _yOll|'T0]fflE‘l’S, I
was lairded in this cit ion the 4th of. ti y,l806,
by Captain Stilton, oltlre Windsor Castle. I
was sorry I-] is l\’Iajcsty’s uiiiiisters had_iudgerJ-

had need to recruit my health and to rein-
force my pi incipies. I feared to (listress your
Lordship’s lllllliillllly with the accotitit of my
strfi't=rit.~gs, or I should have writterr sooner.——
Illy first sickness was the yellow jaundice, of
-tvlricli ‘I nearly (lied ; I was afti-.r\r:ri'd.s seized
with the rlrcuniaiisnr, and nearly lost iiry

The day I arrived,-they were coninteinorat—
ing their Indepentlerrt-e, car'orisitig, sirigitrg
republican songs, driiikiirg I{eVUltl[l0lIal'_y
toasts : hoirfires blazing, cannons firing, and
huzzaing for Liberty !

I was in expectation that the.Lord Mayor
would have broriglrt the military, aird.fireo
on them ;—but the Mayor is not the Lord ;
antl I was irifoirrietl he was seen drtrrltiiig
with some ofthe soldiers. They were also
making air out.cr_v about a Yankee S21ll0t- Cal’
led Pearce, that was killed off by capi. Wint-
by. It is a pity \\ e liadir’t them itt lrelrrirtl, we
might have ten thousand oftlretn shot in a
da_v—and not a word about tlierii. I Wotlltl
have gone to the Barracks inyselfto inform
against tlreni ; but there was no Birri':iL=k.<.—
The soldiers live in their own houses. 3”” i
sleep with their own wives. Nay, nrore—-
tliey havecotrniing-hotises, clerks, \\':ll‘8-llt)llS-
es, ships, coaches, cotintry-scars; the 'like
was never seeir-ainong coininon soldiers.

Iasked iftlrere was no clergyiirart, that was
a justice ofthe peace, to head the military.-—-
They shewed me a Bi.-zltop, a irrild veireiable
looking old geritlcnrair, that would not know
which end ofa gun to ptit foremost ; fitter to
give a lilessitig than to load a corp0ral’s guard,
no 7;-igor, no energy. And they say the clergy"
don’t act asjusticesin this COlltlll‘y.-—Ill(lt;‘P(l, -
tlie clergy here are not like certain clergy-
as your Lordship shall jutlge.

There is not a clergyttraii ofairy discriptiori
in New—York, nor as far as I can learn, in all
America, that can lead it concert, or play up-
on the fiddle, or that dances, or tiittrrages an
assembly, or gets drtink, or rides in at tlri~
death oi a Fox, or that wearls btrcltskin bree-

(shoes with »nai'ter's ii ) to his uncles, and tied ‘
3

with leather thongs. , He has neitlier charti-
barlain, nor vice cliamberlain, groom of the
stole, nor of the bed cliamlier, iirasier of the
i-t-icirionies, ntrr gcntlctriaii usher of the privy
cliainber, not black rod, nor groom, nor page
ofthe privy chamber, nor page ofthe brick
stairs, nor inesserrgci to his robes: he has no
robes’, nothing but retl -brceclres, wlriclr are
now a jest, and a tltread-bare one. No
lntrri-dress for his hotly lrtieri, nor starclier-, iror
irccessary women. He will talk wrtli any
-body, like tliegood natured Vicar of Wake-
iicld. Ifthe strartger talks better. than him,
he is willing.to learir :- if he talks better, he is
willing the stranger should profit. He is a
'3-iirrple geiitletnair every way, _and keeps his

i

l=ris‘ot'~"n-'tf3Iits, ‘and the nation’s debts, and has
boarded up eight millions and a halfof dollars
in the treasury. Your Lordship will sinileat
such air oddity. We do all we can to shake
him—we do all we can to vex him—Lvie do all
we can to remove lritn. He is like a wise old
Dervis. He will not be shaken ; he will not
be removed. lthink, my Lord, with great
deference, that a good London ’quarto,migltt
be written and ‘thrown at his head. He has
no guards nor battle axes, and dodges all a-
lone upon his old horse, from the Presidcnf’s
house to the Capitol. There might be an en-
gravrng to shew him hitching his bridle to a
peg. The stranger in America iniglrt write
the book ; but he need not call lrirnself the
stranger, it appears clear enough from his
works. If it could be possible to confine
those against (migration to home circulation,
it would be better. They appear rather ridi-
culous in this country : forthey know here as
well as your Lordsliip, that the people are the

mend a prolribitivn of their expor'tatiot'. If
Mr. Parltiirson writes any rriore, would your
Lcirtlsliip have the goodness to let hint know
that there has been no yellots-fever here since
Icainc toArirerica—-but that in return the ca-
tadids have created great disturbance. A
good woi'k against the 'catadids, might pre-
veirt enrigration. Tell hint, ifyotrr Lordship
pleases, that the. butter is rioiretter‘ than when
he was here : and the pigs remain unrecoir'-
ciled to the peaches. The tiurotlry grass
grows straiglit up, and so does the duck grwrss:
apropos, the tlttcks here go on the water like
those in Englatid, btit they swini liardest a-
gaiirst the stream. Twelve barrels of Plans-
ter in Nlasszichtisetts go as far as a dozen in
any other state; and there is.but one liead
upon a stock of wheat, and the grass in the
wet ground. A work of this nattire may pre-
vent the lovers of good butter and pork fioiii
coming to Atnerica, and prevent eirrigration.

tent spark which requires only to be fanned-
Iftliis be done with 'rl(I(lf€S‘-, we shall have a
(‘.lVIl war lighted tip in this (3Ol]llIl‘y,‘VlllCll “ill
not be easily ex.Lirrgurslied_; for the contest

Ainericaii people. ,

The ii-alttér is briefly tltis-: the men stnoke
tobacco—tlre ladies will not be smoked. They
say’ they do not marry nor come into the
world to be snioked witri tobacco. The men
say tlrey_diil not marry nor come into the
.\voltI to be scoltletl, and they will~be m.rster'~
in their oivit houses. Tlrev are both in the
right; they are bot.lr in the ivzoiitr. Neither
rsriglit, iror neiilrer is wrong, accordiirg a~
the balance of power can he iii:-itriiged by .'~
cuutiiirg hand. A_ird under the cover of this
sitioke, riiircli ext.-.eilcnt tiiisclriefiiiay be (l0llt‘
‘fortlie service of liisniajesty; and the war,
which will be menroriabic in future history,
may be‘ called’ the segar war. We IIRVB 6‘
once, in our hands, three principal ingredi-
ents of civil war—'fire, srnoltc, $1. hard words,

, cw-i.i conscieticc, and his own accouuts——p:iys

We might coalesce with our tiiagnanlmous

riches ofa iration. I rvoulil htiitrbly recom-

'a'llies, the Slqtiatvs, on the vvestern frontiers,

and a division in the Chesapeake would coin-
plete the whole. And I should not despair
of marching a 'coliirrin of ladies by the next
sirnimer into Virginia and laying the tobacco
plantations waste with fire_ and tow.

One great advantage of my project your
Lordship will please to observe, this, that
whether it succeed or fail, take this at the ve-
ry worst, supposing it to end in smoke, as it
began: it would have a result totlre full as
favorable as other projects which have cost
old England fifty times the sum I ask for —
The very sinolting of these ladies would be a
great point gained t A for they have arrived at
art insolent pitch ofbeauty; and it will be in
vain that we should deter the commissioners
and virlttosi ofour doniitrions frotti coming 0-
yer here by holding out that there are no stat-.
"ties nor pictrires, if‘ we suff'er‘thein to preserve
such exquisite models offiesli and blood front

ulrch gtiddesses, iiyrnplis, anti graces may be
iuiitated. A fetv rt-fiiied souls will prefer
clreeks of brass, and eye-balls of stone, to the
dimple of nattire, and sparkling glances of
the lauglrter-loving eye. But the mass ofniau-
kiird will be ever vulgar ; for theiu canvas will
be too flat, and rnarble too hard ;»-and flesh Ex’.
blood will carry off the pt'ize.—It is true, my
Lord, that the same ai"ts'are not yet so advair-
coil in this country as in tlrose. fttrtlter gone
in corruption and--irrfain_v. Yet it is l'|‘.Dl'IIfy-
ing to see the progress the young and fair
titres are daily inalting"in those delicate ac-
quireuients rvbicli give lustre to virtue and
enibelish good sense. Those arts which have
norv the cliarrii of novelty, and the grace of
infancy,cannot fail to improve in a soil where
living beauty t.riurnpbs;‘ w here the great scenes
ofinajestic nature invite and where history
points the eye of the poet, the-painter, and
.‘-‘tttlliplfll’ to the. virtues of Wasliiugtoti, 83 the
plains of Saratoga and Yorktown.-

But one who passes for having good sense.
avowed to tire soinetinre ago that he would
rather see a well clad .and RCIl\'€‘~pf)p_Ill$l-[IOU];
than the fiirest antique. groiipe ofuaked fawns

thing which has I'rlISl’(I great woirtlerin me, is
this, that some oftliese fair haired Ilryads of

the shining‘ beauties ofyoirrspleridid Court.
Wlicre they got it, or how they catne by it, I
know not ; litit on the chaste steiir ofiiativo
nirrii_v, they seem to have eng,rafted the rich
est fririisoffoi-eigtt cultivation. And as the
ladies in all civilized nations will, covertly or
openly, hrve the sway, I think these danger
ous persons ought to be well watclied; and I
am tiot"rirdispost-tl, my Lord, to keep an eye
upon tlreni. provided Iniay be ericoiiriigerl

view‘, I tliiirk it riglit~ to ineiition that the
yorini; lzitlieslrave iuihilied Fri-tit-li principles;
some of them can. express airy sentiiiieitt,
grave or gay, by it iiiotioir of their lieatl ;
speak airy lertigiiitge with their eyes, and tell

tircntioiierl e.‘ttrciricl_v iiiiportant that Ill r.\Velil

The kind and frank hospitality they rcc’il

venge wortliy of their l1HlSIt:‘l'S. Atid if the

-NA?OLEON’S CATECIIISM.

Mr. Edi'tor',—Airridst the dearth of more
important matter, it may not he urramirsing
to sortie ofyour readers, to peruse the follow-
ing literal trtitislation front the late Einperor
Napoleoir’s religious cctecliisiii, which the
clergy and ministers of religion, ofevery sect
were compelled to infuse into the minds ofall
the youth of France. EHCII clergyman was
bot.iiid to teach tliiscatecliisin to all the child-
ren oflris parish ; and this was one among
the many means used by this great “military
cliieftain,”to confirm and consolidate his mag-
nificent btit -slippery tliroiie.-—-Carin. Herald.

 

“ Question. W'liat are the duties of Chris
tians, in regard to ,the Princes who govern
tlrerii ; and what are, in particular, otir duties
towards Napoleon I. our Emperor ?

“ J7')lS'w€7'. Christians owe to the Princes
who govern them, and we owe, in particular‘,
to Napoleon I. otir Emperor, love, respect,o-
bedience, fidelity, 1n’ff’ff(1.I'_t/ seriiicc, the tribute
ordained for the preservation. and defence of
the empire and Iris throne. We owe to hint,
besides,fervent prttyers for his lrealth,&t. for the
spiritual and temporal prosperity ofthe state.

“ Qucs. Why are we held by all tliesedu-
ties towards otrr Emperor?

“ ./Ins. It is, ‘firstly, because God, who
cre.'ite.s empires, and distributes theiti accord-
ing to his will, in loading ottr Emperor with
gifts, whether in peace or in war, has estab-
lished lriur our sovereign ; has tendered him
the iriinister ofhis power, and his iniage upon
eartlr.
therefore, is to honor and serve God himself.

“ Quits. Are there not particular motives
which ought more strongly to attach us to
Napoleon I. out Einperor? '

“ ./Ins. Yes; for it is him whom God has
raised up, in (lifficiilt circui:rstairces,' to re-es-
rablish the ptiblic worship ofthe holy religion
ofour fathers, and to be its protector. -He
has bronglit back and preserved ptiblic order,
by his-profoirnd and active wisdotn ; he de-
ft:nds the state by his p()\\€lftll arm. He ltas
also become the tmoinfetlqf the Lord, by the
consecration wltich he reccivctl by the Sove-
rei::n Porrtiff, head of the universal clrnrclr.

“Ques. W hat ought rve to tl‘iiukof"those who
-slioinil fail in their duty towards our Emperor?

“ ./ins. According to the apostle Paul,
they would be resisting the order establislied
by God hitirsr.-lf-, and Wmrltl ren'a'erthemseliics
zvortliy ofetcrnaf dainritiliun. \

“ Ques. Dollie duties by whibh we are
boitud to oitr Eiirpemr, equally biird us to his
legitimate successors, in the order established

Wiy the constitutions of the empire ?

 

To honour and serve our Emperor‘, .

“‘./922.9. Yes,’ wilhotrt ‘doubt ; for t‘v'eread
in holy writ, that God, the Lord of heaven 3:.
earth, by a disposition of his supreme will,
31. by his Providence, gives empires not only to
a person in particular, but also to his family.”

, “TO ANY BODY.”

“_ Lend me your paper, ifyoii please.”

“Yes, Sir, ifyou will return-_it soon, as I
have not perused it.”

Pleased or not pleased, perused or not pe-
rused, it must be lent, 'or I must be called a
Sling)’ fellow ; we who pay for the paper have
no more good of it than those who borrow.—-
For my part, I Irate to deny a neighbor the
use ofa newspaper, it is so trifling an accom-
niodation ; so triflingaliat I should think every
man of spirit, however poor in ptrrse, might
contrive to take one paper at least for his iti-
forination, especially if he has a family of
cliiltlreir.

Printers must live on something besides
ink aiitl paper‘; and while they press for the
Pellillei W03’ “.U2ht not to be pressed by the
people. I am sen.-ible that a printing estab-
lishineitt must he an expensive and laborious
tindertalting, withotit the aid ofa liberal sub-
scription list; btit if every suliscrilier lends
his paper to six or eight borrowers. the prin-
ter cannot have many good subscribers on his
list. For my part I take an extra paper,
which I send to a poor relation of mine in the
corriitry, and I think a great many ofiis who
can afford to take oiiepaper, can afford to
take two; their we can have the satisfaction
ofhelping our printer, oflcndiug a paper to a
-poor nniglibotrr, and then sending it to a dis-
taut relatiorr, and by this means mtlcl: useful
iuforuiation may be diffused at the expense of
smoking one or two segars the less per week,
or ofnot filling our snufl‘ boxes or wine glass-
es so often. I have longheen in the liabrt of
llllllfi my paoers, but found it very trouble-
some wlien I was obliged to lend: Ilrerefore
I thought best to take an extra paper to ac-
cotnniodate my poor neighbours. By the
l’,V¢‘-. some of my poor neiglihours are iiittcli
better‘ offtlian myself. I asked one of them
the other da_v, why he dropped (or stopped)
taltiniz the paper.

“ Because,” said he, “ that communication
ran afoul ofme, and I don’t want airy more
of his papers,”

“ A h l 8% why do you want to rear‘. mine 3?”

“Because, I only want to see what they
have got in it to day that takes us off.”

‘I Very well, Squire, then yoti like to see
squilis. but dont like to pay for the powder ;
now, Squire. I consider a newspaper as itse-
ful as a livery stable or a tavern to acotnmo-
tlate the public and if we dorit get the worth
of otir money,it is not the fault ofour printer,
the hustler or the tavern keeper. We are as
rnuclr iudebtr-d to them for their fare as they
are to us for our encotirageiiretit, and I tlriuk
a newspaper a very useful pirblicaccomniotla-'
tion,as much asanytlriiig that comes between
black and white; and ifotir thick skulls can-
uit comprelrend llie,ll'llB nteaniirg of every
~pai=agrapli or coinmttnication, without stop-
ping the paper, wliy, I think it would be
clieaper for the printer not to enlist such in
his columns, unless he has a strong reinforce-
ment of setrsible subscribers, who have iride-
pendeirce and corirage enough (tvithall their
ingenuity) to stand the shock of newspaper
brilletins.”—./V. Y. Potpcr.

trough ? I replied, when he has a tliousaud
potiirds. He said, No! Two thousand ? No.
Tun tliousantl ? No. Twenty thousand ?—
No. A hundred thousaiid ? which I thought
woirld settle the business: but he still contin-
ued to say No: I gave it up, and corrfessetl I
could not tell, but begged he would irifortir
IIIC. He gravely said, when he has a little
more than he has, and that is never! . If he
:icqtiir'es one thousand he wishes to have two
thousand, then five, then ten, than twenty,
then fifty. from that his riches would amount
to air htiutlred lllotlsalid, and‘so on till he hail
grasped the whole world ; after which he
would look about liiiu, like Alexaiitler, for
other “'0! lds to possess.

Many a proof ltavel had of the truth of
this old _geirtlemau’s remarks. since he made
them to ine,and I arii happy to sayl have
discovered the reason. Frill enjoyrrieiit, ftill
satisfaction to the mind 'ofiriat‘i, can only be
found in possessing God, with all his infinite
perfections.- It is only the. Creator, not the
creature, that cart sati~fy.——S. Scholars’ Jllag.

ON PnoF.\i\'r-t SWEA'RI.'\'G.

The excellent Mr. Howe, being at dinner
with some persons of fashion, a gentleman
expatiated largely in praise of King Clrarlr-.-
the first ; introducing sortie harslr reflet'.tiottS
irpon others. lltlr. Howe, observing that the
gentleman mixed marry oaths with his dis
course, told liitn that in his liirrirble opinion
he had omitted a singular excelleiice in the
character" of that prince. The genllelltdlt
eagerly desired lritn to mention it,airo seemed
all impatience to know what it was. “ It was
this, sir,” said Mr. Howe: “ He was never
heard to swear air oath in common cotiver‘sa~
tiori.” The hint was asptrlitely received as
given; and the gentleman promised to break
off the practice. ,

' The saute Mr. Ho've,once coiiveising with
a,tiobleinan~of St. Jaines’ Park, who swore-

,,.t

_sfaction iii the tlrouglit that there is a God
_'ho governs the world, who will finally make
retribution to all according to their works ;—

 

:,[l%fainely in his conversation, expressed great

and “ who, my lord,’.’ added he. “ will make

a tliffereircti between him that swear:-fh and
liirii that fearctlr an oath.” His lordship im-
riicdiately answered, “I tliauk you, sir, for
your freedom ;[ take your meaning, 8:. sltall
endeavor to make a good rise. ofit.” Mr. H.
replied, “I-have reason to thank your lfirdship
for saviirg ine tlreiiiost difiiciiltpart of the
discourse, wliiclr is the appLi'cut'i'on. .
The" brave Col. Gardener took pains to
prevent swearing in his res_z_irne.iit, at tlieiheatl
of which he would publicly declare his ablior
rence of it ; urging all his oflicers to avoid
giving by their example, any sanction to a
criirie which it was their duty to piinrsli. A
Fuunrber of tirilitzrry geritlerneo once dined
witli- lritn at his owir lroiise, when lie addres-

~to remiird them that as he nas a justice 0fffll'
peace in that district, lie was lioiiird by oath to
puttlte laws agairrstsweariirg irtttiexeciniorr:
.ie tlrerefore eutreated thi.-in robe on their

,;guard.

 

Kcd them with riiuch respect, 8:. begged leave -

on that day, who immeiliately paid the i'~,‘éi~.‘:~‘l

ty, which was given to the poor, with the nnt-'-
versal approbation of‘ the compiiny.

A inom.ent’s calm cniisideratinn will cr‘-til
Vince any rational person of the impropriety
of this custom, which is 'fne_{I.'_C2.l.S(1flf(2, 2'r'r(ih'o'téI=
nhviilgar aiidprqfaii.c._ He,"i'\ he said’, ‘- 'I‘iioit
shalt do no iniirder," hath also said, “']‘lrot§
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy Got
in vain”—and the awful saiiction oflhiscoin-t
nrantl is, “For the Lord will not hold him
guiltless, that takctlr his name in vain.”

The first number ofa political paper, enti-
tled the “ New York Courier,” was issued id
N. York, last Sabbatli morning I " Frequent-
ly,” says the Editor in his iiitroductory re-
marks, “ important news is received in the
city late or) Sattirday ; of C()llr!~‘E the particu-
lars are known to btit few till Moirilay morn-
ing ; our publication will obviate this difliculé
ty by being published on Sunday.” Kriortd

not to be known to airy. -lftlie man who on-'
ly “ gathered stick on the Sabbath dzry,” wail‘
stoned to death witliotit the ctrnip, "as the
Loril comrnandetl Moses,” will they be found
guiltless who waste its precious hours in con‘-1
tiirig, over iirercnntile. or political news? The
Editor seetns to strengthen himselfin the re-9
flection, that, “ for a ntrnrber ofyears, a pa;
per has been piiblisbed in Boston on Sutitl:.iy'*
mornings, and has received a very extensive
circirlation.” Nouiitraily at least that pairerj,3‘
published on Satiirday evcnin I ;—thonglr we;
are compelled to acktiowletlge it I: tlistrilrrited
by the aid ofholy light. This is indeed quite’
bad enough and indicates a wofiil ilegeiieracy
from the piety ofour fathers. \rVe do not at-
tempt to excuse it—we plead guilty—bni we
do iirost lieartily regret that so un-Pureta.n a.
custom should be worse than imitated in N.
York. If men profess to be guided by the
precepts ofthe Bible, we sliorild like to know
by what argutiietrts such abuses are defended.

COTTON-—-Tlie New—York Statesman
says—“ The city ofNew York, it is supposed.
will be beiiefitted between THREE $1. FOUR
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS by the recent
advattce on the single article of Cotton. This’
estimate is tirade on the general impression,
that between 80,000 autl 100,000 bales are
held by New York inercltauis, the average
advance on which is between 835 and 345‘ per
bale. Suppose that 500,000 bales ofcotton
(probably much less than one crop) are now
held by the Arnericari merchants at ltotne 86
abroad, and by the planters at the sonth—that
it has advanced $35 per bale, and the result
will be that the coiiutry is benefitted $16,500,-
000. It must be remembered that this ad-
vance is in a foreign cuuirtry, on an article of
American produce.”‘
