Seven or eight years ego, I was travelling between Berwick and Selkirk, and, having started at the trowing of the cock, I bad lelt’ Melrose before four in the afternoon. On ar riving at Abbotsford, I perceived a Highland soldier, apparently fatigued as myself, lean ing upon, a walking-stick, and gazing in tensely on the fairy palace of the magician, whose wand is since broken, blit whose magic still remains. I ain no particular disciple of Ijayatcr’s, yet the man carried bis soul upon his face, and we were friends at the first glance, He wore a plain Highland bonnet,- and a coarse grey coat, buttoned to the throat.. His dress bespoke Inin to belong only to the ranks; but there Was a dignity in bis manner, and a fire, a glowing language in bis eyes, worthy a chieftain. His height might ex ceed five feet nine, and Iris age .be about thirty. The-traces of manly beauty were still upon his checks; but the sun of a west ern hemisphere bad tinged (hem with a sal low hue, and imprinted untimely furrows. Our conversation related chiefly to (ho classic scenery around us; and we had pleasantly journeyed , together for two or three miles, when we arrived at a little se questered burial ground' by the .way side, near which there was neither church or dwelling. Its low wall was thinly-covered ivith turf, and we sat down upon "it to rest. My companion became silent and melan choly', and his eyes wandered anxiously a • immg the graves.. - ‘•Here,” said he, "sleeps one of my fath er’s children who died ininfancy,?’ He picked up a small stone'from ,the' ground, and throwing it-gently about ten yards,■ “That,” added he, "is the very spot.

No„ they were all sober realities, standing.out in bold relief in the.history of the common* wealth, Which was cursed with such an ad* ministration. Now where was John tlanhs fount] during this scene of folly, extravagance, and.wick edness? He was amongst the foremost to advocate and sustain the measure, and the most zealous to secure Uitncr’s re-election, and a continuance of this shameless profli gacy. This hasty review will enable every man to answer the inquiry, what good will be effected by the' election of John Hanks I 1 Let his friends show, if they can, that he differs from his patron in any of the mens* urcs of his Administration; let them publish his remonstrance against them ; let them show, if they can, that Ki{ner*B pronjinent advisers Were not the efficient agents to pro cure his nomination; and let them deny, if they can, that these men will, if he should be'clected, be his counsellors and. advisers, and will shape the measure of his adminis tration,and make .it a continuance of that, .which under llitncr, brought ruin and dis grace jipon the commonwealth. Tlie inquiry, what evil is to be removed by (he 'defeat, of Governor Porter ? will be best answered by a plain statement of his prominent measures, in relation to the same subject which distinguished the administra tion of his .predecessor, which have in every sages of the Bth of Aprilj and May 1841, whidh\have been denounced-by the federal, majority in,the Legislature, as djsOguring their journal.

In proof of these distinguishing measures of Gov. Porter’s administration, we need only refer to his public Messages to the Leg* islature.and the acts of the General Assent* bly which have passed with his sanction. A discerning people will, for themselves, decide front these undeniable facts, upon the course of policy'they-prefer.', They will discover what good is to be effected by the election of John Hanks, and wliat-evil is to be removed by ( lhe defeat of Gov. Porter’.— Thq prominent federal measures of Gov, Il’ltncr sanctioned by John Banks, and the prominent democratic measures of Governor Porter sanctioned by the people, furnish the trye reasons for coming to a correct conclu sion.
