In that city: It has not been , y good
fortune, till-within a day or tyro, to see a
reprint of any of these ! productio n • but, if 1
we may judge'from samples con ained in i
Waldie's last Journal, I doubt
. no the tout
ensemble must have presented a g tifying
'aspect. - The eminent talents• high
standing of the two gentlemen wh names'
are severally appended to the a isles in

question, warrant this ColleillEli • The
first • is Professor-Reed. the othr Judge
t .
Hopkinson; and I need scarcely y, that
names like theirs drool a guarantee of
character to any Institute to wiled) they
may choose to contribute. Thiti is utter
ed in all good faith, and it is no without
r t
considerable hesitanez, therefo , that 1
venture to dissent from an op t ion pro
mulgated by the latter, in the ommuni
cation referred to: Allow me to ite it.
To his euloglum on the writinks of Dr.
Goldsmith, little can be objeete, and few
I
perhaps would be willing to join ssue with
him on that point; but I mistak widely if
he is not singular in the judgmePt expres
sed concerning the Pte -eminent e of this 1
author over lord Byron. A rigiir scrutiny
might prove that the, former was isomewbat
less "pro fl igat e " . in his habits thsin the lat
ter; and yet if history were to 'sniffy in'the
' case, T apprehend his Honour reeld find
some difficulty in adducing even prima
facia evidence to sustain the facts. But
I peace be to their names. It is their cipa
-1 cities as poets that he examines and coo
-1 trusts, and it seems a goOd dealuna-ecoun
,
l 'table that he should so readily resolve
every thing in favour of his fesourite, as
ho calls the Irish bard. No , whilst I
reiterate the respect which I his muse,
I can reproach myself with no eaning to
wards licentiousness, tier with ny wish to
I I detract from just reputation, wen I rank
I myself on the popular side in tits question,
declaring'my hottest conviction i that in all
the great essentials which go o make up
the sum total of poetic eicollecce—a rich
imagination, language at once glowing and
sublime, happy - execution, tke.,—Byron
must be ever considered as tr lament - lent.
It is not my intention, boweve , to delibe;
rate or dwell on this subject, much less do
I moan to derogate from the a i
lted worth
of the lecturer. We have i ,frorp 'very
good authority, that " Home sometimes
nods;" and all that could be prge4 under
the premises by the most quetillouts would
only amount to this: That from ione so
well established in years and learning, we
had a right to expect less passion, and
more extended and fruitful criticism in a'
matter so important. . X. Y.

Ist Number of the Pottsville Emporium having
apAred, which may tend to impair my charac

your medium to contradict the sups. My facil
ities of transportation are fully equal to those of
Messrs. Bolton & Co.; nor Is the expense of Por

meet has been put forth that a saving is made to
the merchants by sending them to Ithe Rail Road

With regard to the unaccountable delay imputed
to me by the Editor of the Emporium, his print

• The Frederick Times. a Van Buren Conse?va.
live paper, makes the following prediction in its
last number. •
"We will make a prediction for the benefit of
the deluded and misguided Sub-Treasury men.—
It is this—lf the Sub-Treasury is not given up
io a very short time, and Mr. Rives' substitute
carried by the aid of all our friends in Congress,
Perimint.vsins will go for the Whigs by ten
thousand majority. Don't forget that we made
this prediction, when the election shall have taken
place and the result made known."
The same paper in another paragraph, may,—
"If the Administration wiU return to the princi
ples which it bas abandoned, we think it possi
ble that it might be able to sustain itself, but if
the present policy is adhered to twelve months
longer, Mr. Van Buren will not receive the elec
toral vote of a single State in the Union, in If 10."
Just so. But the Conservative Times would
vainly strive to reclaim the Administration, and
thus do real service to the Executive. The Pree
ident has made his bed with the loco.fiicos, or al
lowed Blair and Kendall to do it for him; and
there is therefore no hope of his reform in this
particular, and• no hope for conservative princi
ples during the remainder of his term of office—
happily never to be renewed. As was said of
old, "Marna hath turned to Nis idols—let him

"POPULARITY TRAPS."
The Locofeco presses talk ■ great deal
what they call the "popularity trap!" of Go
Ritner. They saii his inaugursl - a,ddresa

bill of lest session ; so also was his mesas.
end refusal to givti SIX PER CENT, inte est on
the temporary ban when it might have n had
at the rate of FOUR. These are all opopidarity
traps" say the Locofocos. We are agreed that
they so consider them. and no doubt thej wish
their Candidate had a few such “traps" to catch
votes With !!.
We do not wonder that the tocofocos-oinsider
the acts and recommendations of Governor Err.
aga. “popglarity traps." They are popularity
traps indeed. They are very popular. They
have been all for the interests of the people and
the people warmly applaud them. The 'Locofo
ixo have hit the tree secret of Goy. Ritner's
.popularity—he supports the people and they in
return support him. -

Mr. RIVES OF VIRGINIA.
We have the authority of the Msdisoitisn for
declaring that this gentleman has wisely concru.
ded to cot himself clear from the present admin . -
Lannon - altogether. Indeed the declarations of
the Madisonian may as well be givin in its own
words. It says, Mr. R. "has been more and
more confirmed in the entire opposition to . the
financial pelt mem of the administration- even ee
more recently eveloped„ he hes lost all confidence

Roman will undoubtedly be' elected by an im
mense majority over. Mr.•Prieur. Goy. White's
election is considered certain in the first Con
Ere:salons' district. From the second district all
the accounts concur in the belief that J.rdge
Chinn, the Whig_ candidate, will be elected over
T. Lawson, loco foco. The Hon. Rice Garland
has no opposition in the third district. The
Senate will be renovated and improved. In . the
House of Representatives the whip have every
right to calculate on two Alurda. •
