I could not omit relating this little incident, because having struck me so forcibly at the time, it is still fresh in my mem Do Witt Clinton Is not the republican governor, sltho he Is the governor of a republican State.

rue, the article alluded to was extracted from federal paper but that paper, till within short time -till Clinton's intriguing and management had disgusted even the federalists, Warmly espoused his cause, and it was then thought no inconsistency for Clintonian editors to insert in their columns extracts from that paper inatw of Clinton. Nor was it thought any Inconsistency when De Witt Clinton leagued with the federalists to place himself in the Presidential Chair, in the room of the virtuous Janas Mauisoa. We dislike and detest the conduct of Coleman before and during the late war i we detest the conduct of any one, who, in a time of great national calamity, when the destinies of his country hang trembling in awful suspense, would, instead of supporting, endeavour to paralyse the arm of b's government, and blast the hopes of his country and more especially if that person possess an important office and extensive influence.

Nature has provided a different way for their security. When night comes on, they run along side the bank, which is almost every where pctpendicular, and with sufficient depth of water, where they make fast to a tree or shore till morning. Thus, by reason of tying up vessels as a man does his horse, you see a great many tree, that are conveniently situated on the hank of the river, with their bark entirely rubbed off, and the trees killed in consequence of it.

slnop, knocking about on waves, whkh (if you will allow me the comparison! were roaring and breakingaround us tike mountains in chaos AVe rode out the storm, however, with much less injury than wevexpected indeed, our expectations were rather despairingly fixed in the bosom of the ocean, On our passage from thence we had several other storms and much rough weather but. as the incidental occurrences of the sea can afford you but little a-snusement, I shall pass over them. At length we arrived at the mouth of the smippi River, after a passage of 23 days from New-York, This river presents a most singular1 appearance as it tumbles whirling and foaming into the great deep the water of which, as every body knows, who have seen it, is very muddy and dirty hence the singular appearance which is pro duced by uniting rapidly, as it does, with the clear transparent water of the ocean. Besides the land or marsh on both sides of the entrance is so extremely low, that you can hardly see it two miles off of course the first you see of this- great river is the difference in the color of the water rolling over that of the ocean, and appearing very much like water agitated and broken by running over rock). In passing up this river, though it was in the winter season, we had very warm, pleasant weather, and ten thousand birds singing as in spring.

The land along the banks nf it, until you get half way up to New-Orleans, will not admit of cultivation, being entirely a low wet marsh, filled with various kinds of wild fowl, snakes and alligators. Above that the land Is a little cultivated, and you now and then perceive a few little huts scattered along shore, constructed something like an Indian wigwam, inhabited by Creoles, and apparently the residence of much poverty and misery. The captain of the vessel and myself went ashore to one of the huts to buy some milk. Oi leaving our boat snd approaching the shore, we were besieged on all sides by five or six large dogs, who commenced growling and barking at us, and would hardly suffer us to proceed. On entering the bouse, which was all in one room, and that without any floor to it, wa.

beheld a very good looking woman, appa rently about years of age, but halt decently dressed, seated in an old broken chair, the only one I could see in the house, with a child in her arms, surrounded by six or eight more of different sexes with dirty faces and half naked carcasses. All stared at us with a much astonishment as if we had descended to them from the moon.
