" FOR TIIK FltEE rilES!?. ACROSTIC. More lovely than the blushing rose, Along the valley, where it blows; Richer in grace and ev'ry hue, Yes! bt'auty yields the palm to you. More valu'd still, must be thy mind, With grace adorn'd, by sense refin'd. Every tongue shall lisp thy praise Shall tell some Bard, in after days, To sing thy worth nor cease his lays. Halifax, 1827. X. JFor the Free Preat. FRIENDSHIP. Without a Friend cue sincere Friend, This world is but a wilderness; Though suns arise, and rains descend, Yet all is dark and comfortless. How sad without on'j gleam of hope, Through this lone wilderness to grope. Buds may expand, and Rowers the while, May blossom only to decay; The trees may bow their heads and smile, Kiss'd by the breezes of the day But go to-morrow look, and see Nought but the weeping willow tree. Those beasts of prey the passions dire, Infest the forest of the mind; Not purified by virtue's fire, Enlightcn'd bv it, or refin'd But let in FRIENDSHIP'S vivid ray, And all is Eden all is day. The wilderness begins to bloom, Afresh, and fruits begin to grow, Pure extacy dispels the gloom, That settles on our path below And joyous feelings point above, Where all is Friendship, Peace and Love. M ARM ION. FOR TIIE FREE PREIS. A SIFLICATION, To the House o Commons. The Crows that wing the midway airt And the Moles that nuzzle mother earth, Show worser Therefore, I beg, intreat, and sifiicate you, To build a law this Legislature, In the House o' Commons, hem! For their total demolishion, And vcloscunis as a cascade send 'cm, With impetus to perdishjon. O! do, for God's sake build this law, For I hate to hear a d d crow caw; And I hate to see a mole-ridge too, The warst, good Lord, and so ought you. Therefore, Gents, in the name o' the Lord, Please your worships jest lay on your board, (Table, bench, or whatever you call um,) A bill, or resolution, lest The State will famish by this pest. Yes, Gents, I am sure you will Pass without a speech a bill, To extirpate the roUcn cratures, For the sake o' corn and taturs. Whon ye build a law, I spose, Ye t ike the yase and take the nose; Abstract the minor from the major, I'm told ye do me cousin Cajor Went to the House o' Commons once, I know he knows, for he's no dunce; He slid he was laming fast the rules, But the next election the cursed fools, Went and cut the crature out, 'Cause he could not speech about The infarnal Intarnal Navigation, And make a h 11 of a spluttcration, In opposition to digging ditches A passel of (not sous o' bitches,) Sons of prcjjudis and envy et cetera, But I believe it happen'd for the better4 For he diden't know a single letter. So please your worships, I wish ye to Say yas all av ye, and not say no; And build without a hum this law, For 1 hate to hear a d d crow caw; And hate to view a molc-ridge too, Prodeegious bad and so ought you. No if ye will but grant enuff, Of that glittering, jingling stuff, In the Tressury hid I mean To jest construct a maggyzeen. In the senter of every county, And give a chosen squad a bounty, In every one throughout the State, To watch the crows soon and late; And shoot um croaking, cawing, crying, Shoot um hopping, sitting, flying; Without favor, pity, or 'fection, O'er the counties in every direction. And as for the darn'd infarnal moles, lest blow them up, pox take their souls. Now do for God's sake, build this law, For I hate to hear a d d crow caw; And I hate to view a moie-ridge too, The warst, good Lord, and so ought you. I intreat ye agin, to build this law, And stop the 'farnal cry of caw, About our fields o corn. Jl Corn and Talur Planter. Supplication.

The following outlines of tlie Report of the Board of Officers, re cently convened at Washington, lo point out and recommend a remedy for the deficiencies in the present organization of the Militia, arc extracted from the last Raleigh Register: The defects of the present sys tem are stated to be the excess of numbers, which the act of 1792, holds to service; the ordinary mus ters arc deemed to be useless, or worse than useless, from the want of a proper system of instruction; but a small portion of the Militia is at present armed, and. jiug to the present appropriations by the vigilance and activity of the forces in Florida, in annrehend- ing the Indians who had lately committed the murders and depre dations. Col. Everard Hamilton, who commands the Georgia Cav alry, was proceeding toTallahasse where he would have an opportu nity, and from whence he would make an official return of the ex pedition, lScc. to Head Quarters. Thus, we believe, has terminated the vir...Ral.ller. African Colonization.
