VIRTUOUS ' POVERTY—THE POOR SEAM STRESS. Much has been said and written 014 the blessings at, tenths/non virtue in distress, honesty in want, and in tegrity amidst suffering and temptation, but it is an ea sy matter for those who - are in affluence, surrounded by comforts, and supplied with all thatcan minister to . the wants and desires of our physical nature to philoso phise, and specuLate en these topics. Many has been the dull, drowsy homily, many the labored hypothetical, panegyric and eulogy pronoun ced upon virtuous poverty. It is indeed the cant of the day to laud virtue in rags, and praise honesty, when contemplated in the debtor's prison! The epicure surfeited with indul gence; the successful adventurer who has attained the height of his ambition: the statesman in the plenitude ; of his power, and the millionaire in his luxurious villa, . will descant glowingly on the glorious and animating' spectacle afforded by the poor but virtuous man. But the struggle. the effort, the agony to hold fast, firmly, and unflinching, integrity when oppressed by want and poverty—to retain principle when beset by temptation: to abstain from sin, when its temporary and partial Commission would at once relieve from the pangs of' privation, hunger and want. All! the intensity of this trial, (as it has well been said by one who knew, and who wrote feelingly on the subject,) can only be appre-j ciated and comprehended by those, whose fearful doom it has been to brave it!!! What we ask is the reward of virtue? When Adam and Eye were placed in the garden of Eden, they were in the first place supplied with every thing that could gratify the senses, or con tribute to the fruition of their desires. The eye, the ear, the fancy, the whole organization, physical and mental power provided fur, before---a law was given. , Let our readers rernember---that no law was reveal e d until all else was provided for. Ask the ever toiling seamstress, what she gets for I I her unspotted, unblemished life, purity of morals, chaste and rigid conduct. She lives in 0 hack room, in a confined obscure street, in the third or fourth stars, has not by the never cea-ing exertiens of her needle, the means to obtain even the absolute necessaries of life—her room is scantily furnished. her wardrobe is small, often she has but one meal a day—she is ill treated, sometimes insulted by her heartless and bru. tal employers, she lives in solitude. and she is banished by the "respectable part of the corn:nullity," and social exclusion is her irrevocable sentence, because she is poor! The happiness and blessings, the joys and corn.' hots of the starving poor, are themes for the Caney phil `eisopher, and the ideal poot. but who can tell, who can portry, who can graphically and truthfully delineate, the miseries, the privations, the sorrows, and the soul's pangs, which the virtuous poor realize, and. from day to day, week to week, patiently and uncomplainingly en dure? God help the poor! N. Y.

FOSTER, Jr. cf Bradford COMNISS lON:MS.—The Beaver Argus is out in a furious article against JA3IES CLAXICE I one of the democratic candidates for Canal Commissioner, and while a: ailing Mr. Clarke, has the unblushing impudence to attempt a defence of the infamous con duct of the Ritnet Board. during the election cam paign of 1838. The corruptions practised by Dickey and Stevens during dila mimmable contest, is still fresh in the minds of the people, and cannot be forgot ten as long as they feel an abhorrence for political fraud and villany. IVho can forget the hordeb of pimps and slanderers that were fed from the patronage of the public wcrks, and who were on all occasions ready to swear to all the falsehoods that were concocted and pub lished against the democratic party and its prominent men? Does nut every nue remember the manner in which the legal voters of some of the districts in Hun tingdon and Adams county were overwhelmed by the mercenary bends of the Canal Commissionars,and paid for committing these outrages from the public Treasu re. It is well known that the money expended during that year by the Canal Cornmissiosers in theiretrorts to carry the election against the people, was made the subj'ct of legislative investigation, and that it was dis covered that hundreds of thousands have been burrowed on the credit of the State, and squandered by the Canal officers without the slightest legal authority fur doing so. If we have time, we will refer to the "documents" and give the conduct of the whip Comnaissioners in 1838 a more special notice hereafter. D' B. -.AV ID LON o. of Clarion, who was a member of the last Legislature, but who for some local cause was not renominated, has come oat as a volunteer. W e are sorry to see this, as Mr. Long cannot hope to do more than to defeat the democratic candidate, and thus do more for our political opponents than they could ever effect by their own exertions. Such conduct is not characteristic of a good democrat; those who regard the principles and success of the party more than the emoluments of office, will never permit their names to be used for distracting the party, or for defeating the ticket placed in nomination by those with whom they profess to act. • g'-'l`A GPM/HE WALSH, the bead of the New York "Subterraneans, is doing a bie business at present in the libel line.

Among one of the most success ful devices has been the resort of the manufacture of a currency from paper through legal sanction, and thus being able to pay for labor in that which actually cost them malting.

The tail can be seen on board the brig Rowena. The dimensions of the fish was as follows: length from end of the tail to end of the tusk 18 feet— from wing to wing 90 feet—the month 4 feet wide, and its weight 3,5000:v. citV BRUNSWICK RIOTS. 1i We learn from the St. John's (N.
