Has the maid, who seeks my heart, Cheeks of rose, unstain’d by art? I will own their colour true, ‘When yielding blushes aid their hue. Then her hand so soft and pure, I must press it, to be sure; Nor can | e’en be certain then, Till it I grateful press again. Must I, with attentive eye, Watch her heaving bosom sigh ¢ I will do it, when I see That heaving bosom sigh for me: BY H. WALPOLE, What a rout do yeu make for a singie sweet Kiss | I seis’d it, tis true, and I ne'er shall re pentit. Nay be never enjoy one who think ‘twas amiss ; But for me I thank dear Cytherea who" sent it. You fe pout andlook prettily cress; but pray, What business so near to my lips had your cheek ; LUyou will put temptation so pat in one’s way, Saints, resist if you can j but for me, I'm too weak.

The chairman having stated tie reasons which occasioned the call of the nieeting, 10 be for the purpose of affording the dem- ocratic republicans of the county of North- ampton, an opportunity of comparing ideas on the subject of the ensuing elec- tion and of consuiting together on the propriety of expressing their approbation or disapprobation of the different candi dates put in nomination for the office of governor. There appearing to be a unan- nnous opinion ia favour of William Findlay, Jisq. the present state treasurer, it was thereupon Resolved, That Thomas J. Rogers, George Wolf, Philip Lyon, Henry Fenner, and Jacob Stem, bea committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the meeeting. The committee withdrew’ and after some time returned and made report, which being amended so as to meet the views of the meeting, it was unanimously adopted as follows. Resolved, That this meeting highly approve of the nomination of William Findlay, Esq. as the democratic repub- ican candidate for governor of the com- monwealth ; because in their oppinion he was selected by 113 democratic repub- lican delegates, iu pursuance of the public will, and in opposition to faction and intrigue. Resolved, That William Findlay: de- serves aud shall have our cordial support at the ensuing election, because we be- lieve he possesses intelligence to discern and integrity to pursue the best interests of the people, unawed by faction uninflu- enced by seifish ambitions, micn or mo- tives ; because we belicve his ficnines J and independence of mind, his acute and vigorous intellect, his urbanity of man- ners, and ease of access, eminently qualify him to fill the office of governor with seputation to himself and satisfaction by profession.

We view this at- tempt by largesses to the people to give a man popularity as the most dangerous. which bas occured in our country—it was by such means amongst others, that Ceser destroyed the liberties of Rome—it is making the qulifications of the candidate to depend on his ability to give presents on this score there are a few men who could stand a poll against Mr. Heister Resolved, That the volte of Mr. Heister in the convention of Pennsylva nia, in favour of permitting the sons o! frecholders to vote between the ages of twenty one and twenty two years, who had not paid taxes, and. excluding the sons of other qualified voters under sim. ilar circumstances, was contrary to the spirit of our republican institutions, the fair and equal rights of the citizen, and calculated to create an odious and unjust distinction between the sons of freeholder: and others. Resolved, That this meeting recom- mend to the democratic republican citi. zens of the several townships in this county to hold mcetings and appoint committees of vigilance in order to pro- motc the election of William Findlay, the democratic republican candidate for gOVEINOL. Resolved, That the committee of cor- respondence for the county of Northamp- ton, appointed by the convention at Har- risburg, be requested to address the electors of said county, on the subject of the next governor’s ¢lection whenever they shall deem it expedient.

He has been asailed by open and avowed enemies and watched by secret enemies and pretended friend who were ambitious of supplanting hum in the affections of the people, but his integrity and prudence have baffled every attempt to impeach his public or private character. Resolved, That we hove no confidence in the political integrity of the men who have been active In procuring the nomi- nation of Joseph Heister as a candidate for the office of governor, because among them are men who were foremost in pro- moting the election of governor M’Kean, and because they could not make him do as they pleased, in a very short time abused him as unworthy of the trust—be- cause the same men told us that Simon- Snyder was fit to be governor, and in a few years afterwards, when he refused to be controled by them, they called him corrupt and stupid. We infer from these tacts that Mr. Heister has been brought forward by a set of restless, ambitious men, who calculated or controling and reg ulating his acts if he should be elected. Resolved, That we have yet to learn on what occasion, or when or where, among the various important situations with which Mr. Heister has been entrusted, he has distinguished himself~~what mea- sures beneficial to the people have been adopted on his suggestian~when he man- ifested public spirit as to the internal im- provement even of his own country. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, among those who call them- selves independent republicans in the county of Northampton are those whowish write.
