Plutarch compares envious persons to
cuppinj; glasses, which ever draw the
worst humours of the body to them.
Like flies, they resort only to the raw
and corrupt parts of the body ; or if
they lijrht on a sound part, never leave
blowing upon it till they have disposed
it to putrefaction. When Momus could
find no fault with the face in tlie picturc
of Venus, he picked a quarrel with her
slippers. And so malevolent persons,
when they cannot blame the substance,
will yet represent tiic circumstance of
men’s best actions with prejudice. The
black shadow is still observed to wait
upon those who have been the most il
lustrious for virtue, or remarkable for
some perfection ; and to exult in either
has been an unpardonable crime.
The man who envies, must behold with pain
Another’s joys, and sicken at his gain.

And bends the tyrant in coercive chains,

suits of iitr-rature—to reprint in a hand
some manner, all the standard English
works—to have an extensive establish
ment, at which all the work of the asso
ciation shall be performed, and all this
work to be disposed of to booksellers on
ly, so that the society will in,no way in
terfere with the trade. Other ol)jects of
the plan are to engage and encoiirage
Atnerican Artists, in prepurint.^ the em
bellishments of the works to be printed—
to ensure the utmost correctness in the
publications of the society, and to reduce
the price of standard Aitierican anil for
eign works to a moderate rate. It is re
marked that a person desirous of formin|j
a library in this country, at the present
moment, must, in most instances^ pur
chase, at high j)rices, Eiujlish editions^
of some of the best works in the language, |
because the .\mericun editions are both 1
slovenly, and, in many instances, incur-;

The annexed paragraph is an elegant

There is, perhaps, no feeling of our
nature so vague, so comjjlicated, so my
sterious, as that with which we look up
on the cold remains of our fellovv-moi-
tals. 'I'he dignity wiUi which death in

can contemplate these with feelings that

of all our hopes and fears, our fondest

we now shrink with hoiror iVorn the

E.rtrnrt. * * * Our accounts from the

F.lectoral Vote for the re-election of
.lOIIN QUINCY ADAMS. Judge ,
of Lu/.erne, a very strong man on thd
Democratic side, writes most encourag
ingly that all the Northern and North
western counties are for the Adniinistra^
tration—to these add as certain Bucks,
Ingram’s county—Montgomery, Jona
than Roberts’ county—Chester, (.’harles
Mercer’s county—the city and county ot*
Philaflelphia—Delaware—Miffliri—Cen
tre—Lebanon—Adams—Beaver and Al
legany. 'I'his may be relied upon—and
the changes in favor of the Administra
tion are every day more and more appa
rent. The great leading policy of tlio
Administration is the policy of Pennsy]-
vaiiia. W( are for home industry, roads,
canals, agriculture, maTiufacturcs and
commerce, £% have n" constitutional sciui
pies, real or affected, about the promotion
anrl encouragement of Internal Improve
ment. The policy avowed by the Op*
position we are averse to as repugnant
to our feelings and interest, and will in
no way be sanctioned by this state. We
arc for principles not men. And I cati
assure you that the determination as de#
dared and thus far acted up to, to put
down the present Administration, “right
or wrong,” is taking deep root in th®
minds of all serious and disinterested
people who have only their country’s
good at heart, and they arc determined
to rise up and resist such an alarming;
doctrine. That Mr. Adams will be re
elected is as certain in my mind as any
event can be that has not already takeii
place.
Mr. W. W. Seaton, one of the editoifli
of the National Intelligencer, has pub

following account of a casual dialogue be
tween him and Colonel Richard M. John-

ky.
“Some time in the session of 1S25-/J
as I was passing through the Setiato
chamber to the secretary’s table, after th»
Senate had adjourned, I was hailed by
Col. Johnson (sitting near one of the firo
places under the gallery, with one otiict*
member standing or walking near him)
who, in his familiar manner of speaking,
said, “ How goes it, old friend : Well,
when are you coming out.'”
“ AVt/or—On what subject, Colonel.^
“Co/. J.—^Vhy, on the Presidential
question. Are you not coming out u-
gainst the Administration?

Clay taken away the laws from your pa

Editor.—True; but that would be
making a private grievance, a motive fot’
public conduct; and that we cannot do.,
iiowever sore we may feel about it. A.h
for Mr. f'lay, I know he is no friend ol‘
ours; we opposed him, and I understand
that he has always b-jen hostile to us and
our (japer; but the Administration ma/

how tan we with any consistency oppose
them t
'■^Col. Johnson., (with vehemence, and, T
think, with an oath)—1 would not care
for tl’.at. If any body injure;! mo, I
wouhl give them as good as they sent',
and, as for this Administration, we will
turn ihen\ out, as sure a^ there's u God
