JSIouNT Ararat—Nothing can be
more beautiful than the shape of Ararat;
nothing more awful than its height.
Ail the surrounding mountains sink into
insignificance when compared to it. It
is perfect in all its parts. No rugged
features—no unnatural prominences.
Every thing is harmony ; and all com
bines to render it one of the most inter-
ing object in nature.—Spreading origin
ally from the immense base, the slope
towards its summit is easy and gradual
until it reaches the region of snow,
where it becomes more abrupt. As a
foil to this .stupendous objcot, a hill ri
ses from the same base, similar in shape,
and in any other situation entitled to
rank among high mountains. No one
since the flood seems to have been on
the summit of Ararat ; for the rapid as
cent of its snowy top appears to reudi^r
the attempt impossible. No man, cer
tainly, has ascended it in moderi'. times.
When the adventurous TounicTort fail
ed, it is not probable that ;iny one else
will succeed. ^ Jsfuiic Journal.

And beware of the Swindler.
ONE Thomus Hadley, (and, I am ashamed to
ackno\\ ledge, a kl'nsman of my own) came
ti» my house in Ndvensber last, and was treated
■with kindi'css and respect. About the middle
of December he bargained with me for a valua- T OFFER for lent, the well known house and
l)lest\id-horse, utthei)rlee of ^>150; said he then jX lots in the town i>f Charlotte, formerly oc-
lode a i)orro\ved creature, the owner of which i cupied by Mrs. M. Wishert, deceased, for the
lived about one mile from Concord ; borrowed | term of one year. Any person wishing to rent,
of me a valuable mare, with a saddle and tjridle,
and started in the morning, to be back in the
evening, with the !fil50 to pay for the stul, but
domestic industry, of internal improve
ment, and South American liberty, hail
brought to his aid many powerful auxilia
ries.
“Yet, in such a prize, with such com
petitors, so well calculated to disturb
the government of reason, and to seduce
even patriotism from its moorings, did
this minister u fuse to call to his assis
tance this practised, this ])crmitied ofli-
cial patronage: and, if it be such a pow
er, and capable of such expansion, as the
gentlemen have described it, it was an
act of such denial, and such forbearance,
as became the purest days of Homan lib-
ei'ty; and w ill ctL'rni/e his name in all time
lo come; and that minister was John Q.
Adams.”

about '4 o’clock in the ;ificrnoon, the
Nineteenth Congress terminated its la

siness performed in the Mouse

of a few private bills, the joint ruU' which
tpquircs that no bills sha!l !>e aent to ihc

of the Session, having lu'cn suspended s;

which should be passed before 1 o'clock
of that day.
After 12 o’clock, the reports of thriM-
Select {'omniittecs were received. 'I'lie
first which was offered, was the report
of the Committee which was charged
with the investigation of certain accu

A passing review of some of the busi

interest to our readers. Among the
important business upon which we had
anticijjated the legislative aciion of Con

lor tlie relief of the surviving ofiicers of
ihe iU*volution, and the modification of
the Tariir, which was asked for by the
manufacturers. The firsi of these bills
was discussed for some v;eeks in the Se-

A considerable degree of wannui, ap
proaching to violesce, has nianilested
itself 111 the discusion ol a resoiui ion of
fered by Mr. Saunders, of Nortii-Laroli-
na, calling on the Secretary of State to
inform the )Iouse of the changes which
have been made in the publishers of the
Laws of ihe United States, ‘»a«d the
reasons for each change.” It was ina-
possible that such a resolution cbttid be
discussed wiihoui invoking all the bit
terness of party leeling. As the propria
ety of the call could only be made out by
showing that u corrupt exercise of the
discretionary power vested in tne Secre
tary could be established J it was necessa
ry to produce all. me proof, direct or pre
sumptive, which fact or imagination
COL Id supply. The delenders of the res
olution were not spuiing in their elforts
to CbiabllsU ihe charge, ihey displayed
no extraordinary delicacy in the selection
of ihe language which was best adapted
to produce the ell'ect iney desired; they
exhibited no unusual foi bcarance in its
application. On the other hand, the op-
posers of the resolution, and more esjpe
cially some of the personal friends of the
Secretary of State, vindicated his charac
ter and conduct with great force oi lan
guage and feeling. The war of svords,
the confiict of ejiithets, ran high, and
wa^ only terminated by the constituuon-
al dissolution of Congress, before any de*
cision was made.
That dissolution has now taken placc,
and the Representatives of the peojjlo
have returned into the bosom of the na
tion, to receive from their consiituent.-i
the meed of praise or of censure whicU
they may deserve. To the legi’imate
tribunal of public opinion we refer them
for their recompence, be it'wiiat jt may.

The proceedings 'Ji the last Session oC
the Congress, which closed its term oa
Saturday, and especially those of the Se
nate, will receive the serious considera
tion of the people of the United States.
It IS our purpose hereafter to notice them
more j)articularly. It need not be dis
guised that towards the close of the
past Session, we presume by some of
those “coniliinations” of which Dr.
i loyd, in his late address at Richmond,
inade a prccious confession, the C^pjjosi-
lion obtained a small majority in the Se

ty was disposed to use the epheniersl
power so obtained.
