TO JII6S -C
Along the cloudy Southern sky,
The dim stars fitfully were twinkling;
TTha fragrant winds went whispering by,
And quick dews were softly sprinkling
The ieafy trees above us growing,
And flower cups round bright and blowing:
When last and lonely wo were sitlin,
In silent intercourse together;
Tiie bats were by us swiftly Hitting;
And insects hummed along the heather-.
What holy deep and soothing power
Over ike heart, has twilight houi!
We owned its infiucuce, subduing
And shadowy on cur spirits sinking,
With vague and dreamy spells imbuing,
And into one all foolingj sinking,
As our full hearts, no case encumbering,
In their own rapturous depths were slumbeiing
As thus we sat that summer night,
We only saw each others features
ty that pale, mellow, dusky light,
Which makes us seem far lovelier creatures,
Thus half revealed by that dull ray,
Than in the sunny glare of day.
But as the mild and haloed lightning.
Constant and quivering o'er the skies,
Played round us, hallowing and brightning.
We looked into each other's eyes,
Illumined by the light above,
And read unutterable Lots.
Just then the fanning breeze, we felt,
Our flowing hair wave back and mingle,
And our pure souls mutual melt
In sighs that we. should e'er be single
We yielded us then, than ever dearer,
And twining, drew our bosoms nearer.
One solitary night-bird singing,
With hU sweet music silence stirred,
The stars beheld us closer clinging,
But earth or sky no promise heard.
Yet there went forth a voice and vow,
Though mute our lips, we keep them new !
One moment the green leaves resembling,
In :he fresh breath of zephyr shaking,
'Our frames clasped in our arms were trembling,
With the tender emotions waking
As warmed by young inspiring bliss,
Our spirits met in one long kiss !
So deep that hushing charm, we started
At the rich sudden stund, and listened !
The truth, that we must soon be parted,
In our soft eyes fearfully glistened
And burst like an alarum bell,
The lingeiing heartquakc word, Faiixweli.
My heart at that adieu remembers
That tears were on thy long dark lashes,
.Now sitting by the dying embers
And watching tncra fall into ashes,
I hug tho thought that haunts nie 6!eeping
We soon shall meet in smiles and weeping!
The 12 a id en's Lullaby.
Oh I am proud of thee,
Jfor is it sin to worship one so gifted.
But how could thy uplifted
And haughty Lov", descend thus low to me.
What secret joy is mine
To hod thee as a mother hoJs her baby 1
And hug the fancy, may be,
Though I deserve it not, no less 'tis thine.
Thus to bend above thee,
And see thy soufloat in thy dark bue eyes,
And there my image rise
But they how cose. llow dcary do I love thee?

NAPOLEON.
Napoleon professdd maxims of absolute
power, as much by temper as by system.
Instinct as well as necessity taught him to
desire a strong, government ami the enact
ment of severe anil stringent laws, lie
loved the army, as being the most com
j;leto standard of nationally, the most
concise formula of power, and the most
active, docile, and concentrated instrument
of government. But he neither liked the
press, the advocates, nor the saloons of
Paris; this is not surprising inasmuch as
the press and the advocates of Paris always
will be, peculiarly obnoxious to despots.
He felt, and he affirmed, that the imperial
institutions did not afford any guarantee of
stability , and that a corporal at the head of
a few soldiers might easily (as Mallei was
very nearly showing liitn) seize the throne
by a coupe de main. He relied upon him
self alone and it was on that account thai
he fottified his power at the expense of
liberty.
Yet, strangely enough, although he tf?
firmed that men ought to be mating v
exciting their fears and their fepfuigs of
self interest or vanity, henevcrihelc6&
could only place confidence in their disin-
He want
ed to make thetp-slavr s, and yet he was
indignant attheir servility ! He scorned
public opinion, and yet he dreaded it above
all things 1 lie wished to establish his
power for ever, and yet he scarcely believ
ed that it would last him his lifetime. lie
despised mankind, and yet he was quite
intoxicated by the honors which were
heaped upon him by mankind !
He desired to have a Legislative Assem
bly neither so strong as to be troublesome,
nor so weak as to be of no use to him;
neither so wealthy ss to lie independent,
nor so poor as to be extortionate.
A man of genius himself, he did not fear
men of superior talent: he looked upon ail
shining geniuses as belonging to himself,
and as -destined -for his ise. lie stretched
out his hand to them. lie drew them
from amidst the multitude, and attracted
them to himself try that magnetic and fas
cinating influence which was so peculiar
to him, and which neither Carnot, Benja
min Constant, Macdouald, nor Lccuurte,
was able to resist.
Napoleon had more extended idea? of
civil law than the oldest lawyers of the
boioche or the chalelet. All his observa
tions were replete with sense, and ihey
astounded the civilians by their correctness
and originality .... All other
men, no matter whether emperors, or
statesmen, appeared inferior beings in the
presence of Napoleon ! There was a lone
of command, to his voice, and sometimes
even a sweetness-, . an insinuating tender
ness, which renetrated the very soul ! It
was by means of this incomprehensible
mixture of grace and energy, bonhommc
and dignity, delicacy and roughness, scin
plicity and pomp, that he ruled the most
rebellious spirits and softened the most
prejudiced minds. It may well be said
that he conquered by his words quite as
much as he did by force of arms.
His eloquence, which to him was a
source of pe-wer mere than a study, suited
all times and circumstances. lie spoke to
the soldiers who belong to the people
the language of the people. lie traced his
warlike sclimes with assistance of his mar
shals, and with his secretaries and minis,
tcrs he drew up diplomatic notes and arti
cles for insertion in the JUonilcur. He
passed, without the least effort, from the
discussion of civil and political laws to the
minutest details of at) euactment respecting
the baking of bread ! lie presided at the
committee of public works, the committee
of war, and the Ministerial councils, lie
discoursed on literature and science with
the members of the Institute, and corrected
statistical tables with the clerks of various
offices. At the Council of State, he drew
up enactments with Trouchet, Treihard,
Merlin, lierenger, Carc-baccrs, and Perta
lis. Whilst the councillor, weary with toil,
allowed themselves to be overcome by
sleep, Napoleon took a savage pleasure in
prolonging the sitting until the middle of
the niglit. lie was alike insensible to
hunger, the calls of nature, and lassitude.
It might be said that his indomitable will
prevailed over his physical constitution, as
it did over every thing else.
He delighted in setting the 'councillors
together by the ears. Ho provoked ihe.n,
in a manner to dispute, in order, no doubt,
that their angry polemics might remind
him of warfare, or that the truth might be
elicited by so active a discussion. He
himself occasionally ran a lilt against Tre
hard, an obstinate logician and an intrepid
antagonist, Who by no means feared his
Imperial adversary; he used to say that one
victory over Treihard cost him much mo-e
labor than one gained on a field of battle.
Napoleon was born to govern rather
than to - conquer; to found Slates ra'Jief
than upset them, lie will be much more
admired by posterity as a precursor nf the
future, than as a ravager of ivuion; moro
as a politician than as a warrior; more as a
legislator than as a conquerer; more as an
organizer of institutions than as a gainer jif
victories ! Timon.

f trVilEE medicines arc indebted for their mrr
M to their inanitest and sensible action in pc
rilving lire springs and channels of life, and endu
ing them v iih renewed tone and vigor. In many
hundred certified cases which have been made pub
lic, and in almost every specie of disease to which
the human framn i liable, tire haODV cff'Cts of
MOFFATS LIFE PILLS AND PI1EXIX BIT-
TEKS have been gratefully and publickly acknowl
edged by the persons benetitted, ?nd who were pre
viously unacquainted with ' the beautifully philo
sophical principles 'upon, which they are compoun
ded, and upon which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bow-elii, -the various impurities ard
crudities constantly settling around them; and to
remove the hardened fieces which collect in the
convolutions cf the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind a s to produce habitual
c.ostiveness. with all its train cf evils, or sudden ipi
arrhcea, with its imminent dangers. This fact s
well known to all regular anatamists, who exam
ine the human bowels after death : and hence the
prejudice of those well informed men against quack
medicines or medicines prepared and heralded to
the public by ignorant persons. The second effect
of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and
the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the
lungs, the Healthful action of which entirely de
pends up m the regularity of the urinary organs.
The bladder which takes its red color fiom the agen
cy of the liver and the iungs before it passes into
the heart, being thus purified by them.and nourish
ed by food coming from a clean stomach, courses
freely through the veins, renews every part of the
system, and triumphantly mounts the hannei of
health in tne blooming cheek.
Moflutt's Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign rem
edy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the
Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Headache,
Restlessness, I 1-tempcr, Anxiety, Languor and
Melancholy, Coslivcuess, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fev
ers of all kinds. Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all
kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption,
bcurvcy. Ulcers, Inveterate, Sores, Scorbutic Erup
tions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive complaint.
Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable complex
ions, Salt Khcuni, Erysipelas, Common Colds and
Influenza, and various other complaints which af
flict the human frame. In Fever and Ague, par
ticularly, the .ife Medicines have been most emi
nently successful ; so much so that in the Fever
and A sue districts, Physicians almost universally
prescribe them.
All that Mr. MofTatt requires of his -patients is to
be particular in taking the Life Medicine strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a newspa
per notice, or by any thing that he himself may suy
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is a
lone by the results of a fair trial.

TflTTOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS, AND PUCE
I f U NIX BITTERS. The perfectly safe, un
erring, and successful -treatment of almost every
species of disease by the use of MOFFAT'S LIFE
MEDICINES, is no longer a matter ot doubt, as a
reference to the experience of r.mny thousand pa
tients will satisfactorily prove. During the preset if
month atone, nearly one hundred cases have come
to the knowledge of Mr. Moffat, Where the patient
has. to all appearance, effected a permanentcure
by the exclusive find judicious use of the Life Medi
cines some eight or ten ot tnese nail feen con
sidered beyond all hope by their medical attendants,
Such happy results are a source of great pleasure to
Mr M. and inspire him with new confidence to
recommend the use of bis medicines to his fellow-
citizcr.s.
The LIFE MEDICIN ES are a purely VEG
ETABLE preparation. They are mild and pleas
ant in their operation, and af the same time thor
ough acting rapidlj-upoj the secretions of the
system carrying off all acrimonious humors, and
assimilating with end purifying the blood. P'or
this reason, in aggravated cases of Dyspepsia, the
Life Medicines will give relief in a shorter space of
time than any other prescription. In Fcver-and-
Ague, Inflammatory Rheumatism, I cvers of every
description, tSiik Headache, Heart burn, Dizziness
in the Head, rains in the l.hest, flatulency, im
paired appetite, and in every disease arising fron
an impurity of the brood, or a disordered state of
the stomach, the use ot these Medicines has aKvajs
proved to be beyond doubt greatly fcupenor to any
othef moile ot treatments
A'U that Mr. Moffat asks Of his patients is to be
particular in taking them strictly according to the
"directions. It. is not by a newspaper notice, or by
any thing that he himself may say in their favor,
that he hopes to train credit, it is alone by trie re
sii'ts of a fair trial. Is the reader an invalid, and

PRO SPEC T IT S,
Fob tiik Congressional Globe and
Appendix. " -
frp,HESE. works bare now been . published ta
: Ja us foT ten consecutive -sessions of Congress
commencing with the session of 1822-3. They
have had such wid cireuljtion, and have been so
universally approved and sought after by the pub
lic, that we deem it necessary only in this prospec
tus to say that they will be continued at the next
session of Congress, and to Ftate, f uccinctly, their
contents, the form in which ttrey will be printed,
and the .prices for them.
The -Congressional Globe is made 'up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the mend ers arc abridged, or con
densed, to bring tliem into a reasonable, or reada
ble lergth. All the resolutions cffeied, or mo
tions made, are given at length, in the mover's own
words ; and the yeas and nayi -ott all the impor
tant questions. It is printed with small type
brevier a-nd nonpareil on .a double royal fcheet,
in quarto form, each number containing 16 royal
oiarto pages. It is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number usually one number, but sometimes two
numbers, a week. We have invariably printed,
more numbers that there were weeks in a eessi.ir.
The approaching session of Congress, it is expec
ted, will continue 7 -months; if so, subscribers
may expect bet ween GO and 40 numbers, "which,
together, will make between 500 and U00 royal
quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of "the Pre si b'ist's
annual message, the reports of the principal officers
of the Government that accompany it, and all the
long speeches of members of Congrcse, written out
or revised by themselves. It is printed in the
I j-me form as the Congressional Globe, and usual
sa make about the same number of pages. Here
Wore, on account of the set speeches being so nu
merous and so long, we have not completed the
Appendix until one or two months after the close
of the session ; but, in future, we intend to print
the spreeches as fist as they shall be prepared,
and ef course shall complete the work within a
few days after the adjournment.
Each of these works is complete in itself; but it
is necessary for every subscriber who desires a
full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to
have both ; because, then, if there should be any
ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or any de
nial of its correctness, as published in the Congres
sional Globe, the reader may turn to the Appendix
to see the speech at length, corrected by the member
himself.
Now, there is no source hut the Congressional,
Globe and Appendix, from which a person can ob
tain a full history of the proceedings of Congress.
Gales end Scaton's Register of Debates, which
contained a history, i.as been discontinued for
three or four years. It cost about five tfmes as
much for a session as the Congressional,Globe and
Appendix, and did not contain an eqSSal amount
of matter, a great portion of the current proceedings
being omitted. W e are enabled tcj print the Con
gressional Globe and Appendix af-'the low rate now
projMjsed, by having a large quantity of type, and
keeping the Congressional ma'ttcr that we Eft 'up
for the daily and semi-wcekJy Globes standing for
the Congressional Globeand Appendix. If we
had to set up the matter -purposely, for thefe works
we could not afford to rlnt them tor double the pric
now charged.
Complete indexes' to both the Congressional
Glole and the Appendix are printed at the close
of each session and sent to all subscribers for
them. -
We have fn hand 3,'GCO ot 4,000 surplus copies
of the Congressional Globe and Appendix for the
extra session, which make together near one thou
sand rov'al -quarto pages. 'Ihey give the fullest
history of Congress that has ever been published.
We rkrw sell them for $1 each; that is, $1 for the
Cofgressional Globe, and 1 fvr the Appendix.
We propose to let subscribers foV the Congressional
i lobe and Appendix for the next session, have
them for0o cents CBib. 'J'hy be necessary to
understand fully the proceedingsof the nextsession.
The important matters discussed at the last, cwill
he brought up at tire next fession. in eonsrqunce
of the universal dissatisfaction evinced in the late
elections with the vast and novel system of policy
which the new rowers have introduced, and which
was forced through Congress without consulting
public opinion, or even allowing the full tilscussion
usual in regard to subjects of ordinary niterest.
The reports of the Congressional Globe and Appen
dix are not in the least degree affected by the paity
bias of the Edi.ur. They are given precisely as
written out by the Reporters .and the members
themselves. And the whole are subject to the re
vision and correction of the speakers,as they pass
in review in our daily sheet, in case any nnsunder
standing or misrepresentation of their remarks should
occur.
We make a daily analysis of the doings in Con
gress, and give our opinions in it freely, but this is
published 'only in the Doily, ceir.i-wcckly, and
Weekly Globes The Daily Globe is $10, the
Semi-weekly Glove 5, and the Weekly Globe 2

and degrading in their influence on the

do, the rights 07 man primary ami para

inadequate to their complete assertion and

interposition of Constitutional obstacles,
we shall always be found the advocates of
'CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM."
Thus far we have spoken and at greater
length than we designed of what is in

To the LAMES DEPARTMENT, par

to i.Mie a Dailt Pafkb frinn this cfiice on or about

The paper will he deVotcd to the support of such
coiiKtituuonal mcai-uresas the interests 'of the People
may Jcniainl antl from what has tccn Been of th
purposes of Presitlenl Tyler's Administration, there
is every reason to telieve that such measures only
are in cmitrmjluticHi by the present head of the
Government.
We propose 6 labor for the entire restoration vt
the pure doctrines and faithful . practices oF the
founders of our Republic not to tattle for the mere
exaltation of partisan dictators. ' To advocate thoce
i-rincij.les ef cur patriotic fathers which were al
together designed to ensure the prosperity and hap
piness of the Confederacy, in their original purity
not to tear dow n the modern fabrics of denia
gogucs to erect pedestals for other ambitious ant!
dishonest aspirants. In short, it is our design to
pursue the Right, alike heedless of party names and
party interests, and to expose the V rong, emanate
from what men or in What sections it may. But it
is far from our intention over to indulge in wanton
and vulgar abuse. Vet w e w ill net suffer the men
and measures we advocate to he unjustly aspersed,
and wrongfully assailed, with impunity.
Hearti'v approving the independent course pur-
sued by the President timing the late extraordinary
session or Longirss, it snail te our endeavor, at a
tilting period, to place before the public all the
circumstances connected wiih the origin and fate o.
the two Bank bills.
That the Daily Madisonian may merit the sop
port of the community indiscriminately, the unde
signed is resolved lo bring to his assistance in the
editorial department the best political and literary
talent that can be secured. In aid of this purpose,
an able apd experienced Europe an rorresorident
(situated at Bren en) has Itccn engaged to transmit
to us by the steamer every fortnight, the most
comprehensive accounts of the state and progress
of things in the old world ot which he is capable.
This enterprise, we trust, will be duly appreciated
by our subscriber.
An efficient corps of stenegr.-iphcrs will be em
ployed to report the proceeding and debates of each
house of Congress, which will be put in type the
evening of thee ay they transpire, and he transmitted
promptly to our subscribers through the mails.
As the only Administration Journal in the Dis
trict of Columbia, publishing, officially, the pro
ceedings cf the Government, and cherishing and
defending honestly and earnestly the principle
upon which the public acts of PrcsidentTyierliave
thus far been founded, we may, we trust, justly
calculate upon nor considerable share at least of
the support of ihcaevery comprehensive body of ou
ft -How-citizens whot in ihe friends of good and
faithful Government. .
