Gf.ntlkmf.n : Thfre was a very inter
esting sccnc presented at West Point ihi.s
forti'.oon. The Secretary of War, Gov
ernor Barbour, met the SupcrintetnJeu!
and Professors, and all the Cadets, in the
Chapel, at twelve o’clock, and lU livercd
a very iHipre.ssive address, in which lie
(hvelt on the exr.ellent'condition in which
he found the Military Academy, in ever)
respect, and expressed his w ai ni appro
bation of the conduct ol’ all llio Officers
ol‘ the Institution, t?ivin^ well dc.served
praise to the coniniancliiit;' on'icer, C'ol.
Thayer, and remarked that he came to
this place lull of warm ex|>er(ations, and
that they had been more than realized,
and that he was highly gratified in wit
nessing personally the i-iral prolicie-ncy
which the Cadets had madf, anti was de
lighted to Hnd that their moral worth ai.d
correct deportmenl was no less praise-
worlhy than their accurate knowledge
and information on even the most ab
struse subjects. _ He spoke lo the C.’adois
in a tiuly afU'cting aiul |»arental stvle:
he told them they were the hope oftiuii
i ountry ; that on tiu'ni not only the ev es
of the Ui;ti(;ii, but tliose of the vv iioh
world, were fi.\ed ; that two putlis lav
bt'fore tli'-m, liio one loudieg lo virtue,
hi,nor, and happi les. the otIicM- to v ice,
degrailution, and rum ; ;hat their jMn nts
felt the most anxi^i.b licitudc on their
III count, and ’hut, iu the comi.detiun of
tlieir studies, they v\o;ih!be ici eived ui

love and reg„id, or letnm the sud mc'--
seri^M-rs ol tiieir own digradcition ; that
their^iathers hearts vveie IjomuI upon in
their.-;, and that the lond niotirer’s cheek
never touchcd the pillow at ni';ht with
out imploring the idcbbings oflicaven on
her wt‘11 helovfd ion.
He recomt/ietKled strict r,uhordination
to their tiuperiois and rejoiced that it
ha(Mjeou!nc a part ol his public duty to
have tile itistilulion utuler his peculiar
c..ie, and promised that it shonhl rceeive
his paj ticular allention. ’i’o the oflicers,
lo whom their country, as a mark of
great confidence, had coinuiitted those
precious charges, who were now far re
moved from the parental roof, he recom
mended a mild, kind, and anenionate
couise ol conduct; ami, after imploring
the blessing of Heaven upon thc-m all, he
bid tliem ^n affectionate iarevvell.

Wc recommend to the Jhminff Gover

calm consideration (if it be not im|)ossi-
ble wilhhimj of the following juflicious
remarks made by ihe Hon. Mr. CiiLvts,
while a Judge in our sister slate South-
Carolina, in the year 1817:
“ But il is said the Stute.s are to watrh.,
with jealousy, the arts of the (ieiieral
Ciovernment. 'I'hh is a inouHlrnus hcn'itj
in Ihr politics of this couninj. ]':xactlv the
reverse is the sotmd coticlusioti. -Thi
necessary dependence,-practically, of llie
General .(lovernrnent on the Slates, in
niany pariimlars, is one of tlie.jioints ni
wliich its weakness has been most obvi
ous and most lamented.”
Again: “ 1 lie jealousv wliich we some
times see recommended, is bad law and
vvi.ise |)olicy. 1 deny ihat it is iiu iilcal-
ed by a true iir;dersianding of ibe consli-

From the desk nf Oliver Oalnrnod, Esq.-^
I was one in a bull room—manv, niany
years ago; it was crowded lo overflowing,
with gallantry and beauty—health sat ou
every cheek, aful every eye spai kled w itU
pleasure. 'I’he gtiests were all yonng,
all gay, happy, and sorrow and care seem*
ed to h ive llown far aw^y—I leaned a-
gainst ihe painted wall, and nius«*d upon
the scene before me, till my mind was
lost in the dreams of imagination. Theti
I thoiighi I savv a pale and ghastly figure,
wrapped in thin loose drapery, leaning
against a distant pillar of the hall, half
itid by its reilected shade, and alternate
ly eyeing with piei cing scrutiny the mov
ing groups, and making minines on a
scroll he lield in his left hand. .^ shud

CONFORMFI Y TO I jiK WOUI.Dr
I have observed, (say.s. New ton) that
the world will often leave professor.s ir*
(>uiel possession of Iheir notions and sen-
liments, and places of worship, provided
they will not be stifT in the matter of
confornuty with their more general cus
toms and amtiscmenls. But I fearinany
of them have had their prejudices
strengthened ai;ainst our Jioly relijjioti,
by such compliances, and have thought
that if there were such joy and comfort
to be found in the ways of Ciod as they
hear from our j)ulpiis, professors would
not in such numbers, and so often, run
amongst them to beg a relief from the
burden of lime hanging upon their hands.
As the Lord Jesus is the great represen-
lalive of his people in heaven, he does
them the honor to continue a successioa
of them as his rejiresentatives upon earth.
Happy are they who are favored with
most of the holy unction, and best enabled
lo inaiiilesl to all around them, by their
spirits, tempers, and conversation, what
is the proper design and genuine elTect of
his (Jospel upon the hra.'-is of sinners.
In our way of little life in the country,
seiious people oft»-n complain of the
snares they meet wiih from worldly peo
ple, and yet they nmsl mi.-i with them to
;el a livelihood. I advise them, if they
ran, to i!o lln'ir business with the world
as they do it in the rain. If their busi
ness culls them aliroad, «;hey will not
leave it undoui; for fear of being a Utile
wet; but ihen, when it is dene, they
presently seek shelier, and will not stand
in tlie rain for pleasure ; so providential
and,UT*cessary calls of duly, that lead us
inio liie world, will not hui t us if we find
the sjiiril of the world unpleasant, and
are glad to retire from it, and keep out
of il as much as our rel iiive duties will
liermit. I hat which is our cross, is not
■,o likely to be our snare; but if that
spirit, which we should always watch and
pray aguinsl, infecis and assimilates oui»
minds tu itself, then wc are sure to sufTep
loss, and act below tho dignity of
profosaioijj
