SampsonSnalcrool vs. the People. This inimitable critic and poli tical reviewer, having favored tiie community with a specimen of his vast and stupendous views of the present Administration, is now '..1 l-i i . , quicuy gnawing ins Done witii tlie patience of a philosopher, and preparing a second edition of his immaculate conceptions on the political regeneration of the old federal dynasty. Now as for phraseology and grammatical ac curacy, this political Sampson ri vals himself and has no parallel in the annals of literature; for his po litical foresight and loquacity, he doubtless occupies a conspicuous place on the political arena, but as a star in the political horizon lie slieds but a dull and crepuscu come of Mr. Adams' famous Pa naraa mission! What has become of the profitable trade we enjoyed some time ago with the British West India Islands? I will an swer they have gone to join the i i li.. i i r 1 j1 black icitercu lisp oi ms oiner po litical abortions; and may we not be compelled to witness other a bortions more disastrous to our interest and political happiness. Educated in the atmosphere of royalty and aristocracy, Mr. Ad ams fancies himself the indispu table heir of the treasury, and oft en in his dreams of regal pomp and magnificence, Grasps at the sceptre of royalty and denounces our political temple as weak and feeble, having barely strength enough to sustain its own political equilibrium; dazzled from youth to out age witn me gutter oi courtly etiquette, his mind must have adopted anstocratical doc trines incompatible with the geni- lar light; and like the pale beams of the queen of night, he lifts his us anfj spjnt 0f our republican leaden sceptre ucr a slumbering 'form 0f roveriiincnt: his cnurfh' o J etiquette and travels through the world and but for the resplen dent rays of the "light houses in the skies," could not fulfil the functions extraordinary of star gazer for the third Congressional district of North-Carolina. This immaculate critic and political re viewer is toiling with the indus try of an ant, for a seat with those political worthies who have usurp ed the rights of the citizens of the United States. Does Sampson long for immortality; does he pant for fame; docs he wish to develop to the fancy of the people, a re flective mirror of billiard tables and cues, dancing through the sa loons of the palace in all the ma zes of political confusion? Or, I gor and guard the citadel of our rights, and with indignant senti ments seal the political existence of those recreants who conspire to humble our sovereigntyfor there is no "sacrifice so accepta ble to God as an unjust and wick ed ruler." Having despatched Mr. Adams for the present, I will proceed to inform Mr. Sampson Snakeroot that Mr. M'Duflic, a gentleman of great talents and political integrity, pledges his re putation that Mr. Clay voted a gainst the known will of a majori tv of his own constituents, there-!

I will here leave Mr. Snakeroot awhile to combat with the phantoms of his imagination, and to blow and sneeze a little through his political windpipe. John Q,.

Those fine countries in Europe are ruled by despots, thereby ren dering the will of its inhabitants subservient to the arbitrary sway ot tyranny; thereby rendermir her fine cultivated fields and extensive commerce subservient to the ab solute dominion of lawless ambi tion.
