VOL. L.
OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND,
• THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF THE
Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla.
OLD DR. TOWNSEND is now about 70 years of
age, and has long been known as the author
and discoverer of the Genuine Original Townsend
Sarsaparilla. Being poor, he was compelled to
limit its manufacture, by which means it has been
kept out of market, and the sales circumscribed to
those only who had proved its width, and known
its value. It had reached the ears of many, never
theless, as those persons who had been healed o
sore diseases, and saved from death, proclaimed
its excellence and wonderful HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago,' that lie had, by his
skill, science and experience, devised an article
which would be of incalculable advantage to man
kind When the means would be furnished to bring
it into universal notice, when its inestimable virtue:,
would be known and appreciated. This time has
come, the means are supplied ; this Grand and
Unequalled Preparation is manufactured on the lar
gest scale, and is calliid for throughout the length
and breadth of the land, especially as it is found
incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young S. P.Townsernes, it improves with
age, and never changes, but Ibr the better; because
it is prepared on scientific principles by a 'scientific
man. The highest knowledge of Chemistry, and
the latest discoveries or the art, have all been
brought into requisition in the manullicture of the
old Dr's Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla Root, is
well known to medical men contains many medical
properties and some properties which are inert or
useless, and others which it retained in preparing
' it for use, produce fermentation and acid, which is
injurious to the system. Some of the properties of
Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that they entirely evap
. • orate and are lost in the preparation, if they are riot
preserved by a scientific progress, known only to
those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover,
these volatile principles„which fly off in vapor; -or
- as an exhalation, under heat, are the very essential
medical - properties 01 the root, which give to it all
its value.
Any person can boil or stew the root till theyget
a dark colored liquid, which is more from the col-.
ornig matter in the root than-from anything else;
they can then strain this insipid or vapid liquid,
sweeten with sour molasses, and then call it ~ Sar
saparilla Extract or Syrup." But such is not the
article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared, that all the inert properties
of the Sarsaparilla root are first removed, every
thing capable of becoming acid or of fermentation,
is extracted 8 rejected; then every particle or
medical virtue is secured in a pure and concentra
ted form ; • and thus it is rendered incapable of los
ing any of its valuable and healing properties. Pre
pared in this way, it is made the most powerful
agent in the
CURE OF INNUMERABLE DISEASES.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations
on every side in its favor by men, women, and
children: We find it doing wonders in the cure of
Consumption, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint, and
in Rheumatism, Scrofula, Piles, Costiveness, all
Cutaneous Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, and all
affections arising from
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
It possesses a marvelous efficacy in all complaints
arising from Indigestion, from Acidity - of the Stom
ach, from unequal circulation, determination of
blood to the head, palpitation of the heart, cold
feet and hands, cold chills and hot flashes over the
body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ;
and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspi
ration, relaxing strictures of the lungs, throat, and
every other part. But in nothing is its excellence
m - ore • manifestly seen and acknowledged than in '
all kinds and stages of
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
It works wonders in cases of Flour Albus or
Whites, Falling of the Womb, Obstructed, Suppres
sed, or Painful Menses, Irregularity of the mens
trual periods, and the like, and it is effectual in
curing all the forms of Kidney Disease.
By removing obstructions, and regulating the
general system, it gives tone and strength to the
whole body, and thus cures all forms of Nervous
Diseases and Debility, and thus c prevents or relieves
S. great variety of other maladies, as Spinal Irrita
tion, Neuralgia, St. Vitus , Dance, Swooning, Ep
ileptic Fits, Convulsions, Brc.
It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healthy
action, tones the stomach, and gives good diges
tion, relieves the bowels of torpor and constipation,
allays inflammation, purifies the skin, equalizes the
circulation . of the blood, producing gentle warmth
equally over all parts of the body, and the insensi
ble perspiration; relaxes all strictures and tight
ness, removes all obstructions, and invigorates the
entire nervous system. Is not this then theimedi
eine you pre-eminently need
But can any of these things be said of S. P. Town
send's Inferior article This young niari'slliquid ;
is not to be
COMPARED WITH THE OLD DR'S,
because of one Grand Fact, that the one is incapa
ble of Deterioration, and
NEVER SPOILS,
while the other does; souring, fermenting, and
blowing the bottles containing it into fragments;
the sour, acid liquid exploding, and damaging other
goods ! Must not this horrible compound be pois
onous toihe system ? What! put acid into a sys
tem ,ready diseased with acid 7 What causes
Dysprosia but acid ? Do we not all know thr.
when food sours in our stomachs, what mischief
produces? flatulence, heart -burn, palpitation of the
heart, liver complaint, diarrhea, dysentary,
and corruption of the blood 7 What is Scrofirla
but an acid humor in the body 7 What produces
all the humors which bring on Eruptions of the
Skin. Scald Head, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, White
Swellings, Fever Sores, and all ulcerations intprnal
and .external 7 It is nothing under heaven brit an
.acid substance, which sours, and thus spoils all the
fluids of the body, more or lesS. . What causes
Rheumatism but a sour or acid fluid, which insinu
ates itself between the joints and elsewhere, irrita
ting and inflaming the delicate tissues upon which
it acts 7 So of nervous diseases, of impurityiot the
blood, of deranged circulations, and -nearly all the
ailments which affect Allman nature.
Now is it not horrible to make and sell, and Mil
Bad) , worse to use this
Souring,Fermenting, Acid Compound of S. .P."'"
Townsend,
and yet he would fain have it understood that Old
Dr. Jacob Townsend's Genuine Original Sarsapa
rilla, is an imitation of his inferior preparation:loA
Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article
which would bear the least resemblance to S. P.
Townsend's article; and which should bring down
.upon the old Dr. such a mountain load.of complain
and criminations from Agents who have sold, ass
purchasers who have used S. P. Townsend's Fer
menting Compound.
We wish it understood because it is the absolute
truth, that S. P. Townsend's article and old Dr.
Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla are heaven -wide
apart, and infinitely dissimilar; that they are unlike
in every particular having not one single thing in
common.
As S: P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was,
is no chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more
of medicine or disease than any other common,
unscientific, unprofessional man, what guarantee
can the public have that they are receiving a genu
ine scientific medicine, containing all the virtues
of the articles used in preparing it, and which are
incapable of changes which might render then the
AGENTS of Disease instead .of health.
'But what else should be expected from one who
knows nothing comparatively of medicine or dis
ease ! It requires a person of some experience to
cook and servo up even a common decent meet.
How. much more important is it that the persons
who manufacture medicines designed for
- Weak Stomachs'and Enfeebled Systems
should know well the medical properties of plants,
the best manner of securing and concentrating their
healing.virtges, also an extensive system, and how
to adapt remedies to these diseases !
It is horrible to think and to know how cruelly
the e affiicted are imposed upon by presumptuous men
for the sake of money I Fortunes made out of the
agonipsfof the sick! and no equivalent rendered
the despairing sufferers ! For sale by

THE RESULT.
EZEIME2
Night—darker night—on Europe falls;
The panting millions strive no more ;
The Cossack revels in her halls, •
And quaffs the wine cup stained with gore
The gathering storms of suffering years
In one fierce, thunder-peal depart;
While the red reaper gathers tears,
And binds the independent heart.
•
The struggle's o'er—the voice is gone ;
The bones that moved are bones again;
The murderous yell is Onward borne,
And famine stalks o'er fields df slain.
While in the dust the hopeless sigh,
And Virtue bleeds in Wiat's embrace,
The dead upon their banners lie,
And smiles of glory light each face.
Old crumbling thrones arise again,
With deeper woes and deadlier hate
The iron hand makes bare the chain,
And bids the dungeon's hinges grate
Free thoughts now fester in the mind,
And generous souls forget to give ;
While palsied hosts to fate resigned,
Kiss the red robber's . hand to live.
Oh God ! when will the people rise
And walk erect in proud attire,
While calm contentment lights the skies,
And pales disunion's lurid fire I
When princely word shall weigh no more
Than plebeian speech, though homely said,
And mind shall with the eagle soar,
And matter kennel with the dead.
GOOD NIGHT
FROM THE GERMAN OF PAVER
Dark is the night!
Yet stars are glimmering through the cope of
Heaven,
The air sighs softly through the wandering trees;
And innocence, unstained by evil leaven,
All bright within—the outward gloom can please,
With the sweet influence of the calm hour filled,
In its clear bosom, carrying its own Heaven !
To all who have their day's work well fulfilled;
.To them good night!
Still is the night!
All day's lewd noises wane;
Weary aa tearful eyelids own the claim;
And sleep is lulling in her soft domain
The throbbing heart with Heaven's own soothing
balm,
To you for whom her shades descend in vain,
Whom cares keep watching, peace your cares
disarm ;
Soothed be the couch of sorrow and of pain;
To such good night!
Rich is the night !
Can man hope here for more,
When the dark night of trouble veils him round,
Than in bright dreams to see Heav'n ope its store,
And each warm wish by fancy crowned
To you for whom Hope smiles by day no more,
May her soft whispers in her sleep be found ;
To you good night !
•
Faith springs by night!
When all ere fond heart hailed,
Have long beneath the lonely hillock slept,
When they—the dearly loved, the deep wailed,
Fate's bitter flood from thy fond arm hath swept:
Think, amid all the trials that assailed,
One eye, above the stars, its watch bath kept;
And witches still, good night !

Hungary
The fall of Hungary is confirmed by uur Euro
pean dispatch of this morning. Klapka, at Comorn,
seems to be the only man of the vlagyar leaders
who still holds his ground against the Imperial
forces. Kossuth, Bern and Guyon have fled, Desoffy
has been taken prisoner, while of the late of Dem
binski, Perczel, Vetter and A ulick we know nothing.
No light is cast by this arrival upon the motives
which induced Georgey to surrender. We see no
reason, however, to fall in the cry of treason which
has been raised against him. The fact that he is
committed to an Austrian prison does not indicate
that he made private conditions for himself, though
it does not absolutely prove his innocence. It is
undoubtedly true that his position throughout the
war has been very different from that occupied by
Kossuth and Perczel and the men of the more rad
ucal party, and that he has fought rather for the
maintenance of Magyar Nationality than for the
establishment of Universal Liberty. His view has
ever been confined to a comparatively narrow pat
riotism, and his action has been in a great part
inspired by personal ambition, while the great
Kossuth has labored from broader purposes and
with larger ends. Georgey may have followed
too strenuously his own ideas as to the conduct of
the war; he has done this before in a measure; at
the battle of Kapolna, for example, when Dembin
ski had defeated Windischgratz, the division of
Georgey refused to obey the order to pursue because
their favorite was not first in command, and he
allowed them to do so, losing thereby the opportu
nity of totally destroying the relic of the Austrian
army. Latterly too, as we know, Kossuth has
complained that the young leader has been inclined
to act on his own account without regarding the
orders of the Government and the general condition
of the war. But still we cannot believe that Geor
gey could stoop to sell himself and his country for
the gold or the honors that Russia or Austria had
to offer for such an act. The charge of treason is
one easily made against a de{eated or a mistaken
General who surrenders to the enemy. We remem
ber well that it was very widely made and believed
against Messenhauser, the unfortunate commander
at Vienna during the insurrection of last October ;
but not many weeks atter the twilight of a gloomy
Winter morning saw the charge disproved by his
execution under the walls of the city he had so
vainly defended. It is by no means impossible
that Georgey is destined to the same fate.
The future of Hungary is wrapped in profound
mystery. We can easily conceive what it would
have been had the shaping of her destinies been
committed to the genius and wisdom of Kossuth;
but under Austrian and Russian rule it is impossi
ble to conceive what measure of merciless ven
geance will be poured out upon her people. It will,
however, be long, very long, before the memory of
this great,struggle dies out among the children of
the Magyirs—longer yet before they have forgotten
to hate the tyrants whose hordes have subdued their
country. Nor will that country be a peaceful poss
ession for its masters. The war which has ceased
to be waged on a grand scale will be carried on by
small bands scattered among the mountain defiles
and the marshes of the plains, and no chance of
striking a blow at the corpmon enemy will be lost.
The name the world will give to this new warfare
will be robbery, but the disinherited Hungarian
will care little for a world which has not raised its
hand to prevent a crime a thousand times more
henious and gigantic, namely, the robbery of a
its
constitution
people of its independence, its country,
constitution and its name. In some respects the
worst consequence of the overthrow of the Magyars
is the demoralization of the national character
which it must produce. That character has glo
rious elements which, freely and fairly unfolded,-
would make it a blessing to the world, butwhich
must be to a great extent smothered-and perveited
by the melancholy result of this war.—Tribune.
From We Wglkeolorre Farmer.
Thomas H, Benton—The Wllntot
Provho—and Gen. Cass.
Apostacy is the attendant upon every worthy
cause, upon all worthy undertakings. It has, how
ever, received the execration of the majority of the
human race. There was one among the Apostles
—there was one who betrayed the Commonwealth
of England—there was but one of any note in our
Revolution. Yet, in latter days, the instances are
so numerous, that it were a labor too great to at
tempt to record the *hole. It would make up-an
odious chapter. It is necessary, however, to make
an example of some of the most illustrious of these
worthies as beacon lights to point the people to the
danger that always threatens their safety. The
apostacy of Judas, was the result of vice, Combined
with weakness—General Monk's, was prompted by
a profligate and vile ambition; but Benedict ArnOlds,
by ravenge. Each one of these, has had its paral
lel in the political history of this country.
Mr. Benton's desertion from the old Democratic
platform, ought not, perhaps, to be regarded as an
act of cold calculating apostacy, with malice pre
pense, but as the result of violent resentment acting
upon a powerful intellect, not a little shattered by
the explosion of the fatal peace-maker. Mr. Ben
ton's course is certainly not the result of quiet,
dispassionate, impartial reason, g uided by the land
marks of the Constitution, and the dictates of
patriotism. He has laid 'down the arms of a
statesman, and, in anger, seized the Cestus of per
sonal controversy. To wound his antagonist, he
would fain break down the defences of the Consti
tuti6n. He contradicts himself, and falsifies his
former political course to avenge himself upon . his
formidable adversary in the South.
It is a prevailing fault of the people to place too
high an estimate upon the firmness or infallibility of
their great men. Men are much nearer an equal
standard, in their constitutional frame, than is
usually supposed. The men called great, very
often have all the frailties of our nature ; combined
with their admirable qualities. Shall we offer in
stances'? John Marshall, was truly a great man:
—yet political bias and an irascible temperament,
on some occasions, led him into great mistakes.
Henry Clay, once the pride of American Democra
cy, with all his saoncity and brilliant qualities,
dazzled by the tinsel and allurements of wealth, and
caressed by those whose kisses are-deceitful, missed
his way,--left the glorious path of the champion
of popular rights and equal laws, and has been
smothered in the meretricious embraces of Federal
Aristocracy. "Ah! what a falling off was there"?
We still hope that Thomas H. Benton, will yet' re
call to mind the examples of unfortunate apostacy;
remember what he has been—and not let his anger
against one man, lead him into the slimy and. irre
miable gulf of Whiggery and Abolition. The
doctrine which Mr. Benton uses to assail Mr.
Calhoun's position, would completely subvert the
whole constitution. He goes upon the ground that
acts of Congress, are to be the true interpretation,
of the Constitution! Absurd. We had thought,
and still think, (Mr. Benton's opinions notwithstand
ing,) that that instrument, like a record, is to be
interpreted by itself. Acts of Congress, and acts
of the servatq . ,of the Government, are to be squar
ed by the Constitution, not the Constitution warped
to them. We have carefully and most devoutly
investigated this question, which has produced so
much excitement, and been so fruitful of misfortune
to the Democratic cause, covered by the Wilmot
Proviso, and here is the result of our feeble en
quiries. We believe that Congress has no right to
legislate upon the subject of negro slavery, except in
the District of Columbia; and, in that case, only
by the grant in the Constitution, of all Legislative
power therein. That although the naked grant in
the Constitution clothes it with that power, it does
not follow that Congress should exercise it so as to
disturb the relations in which this district stood to
the Union, when the seat of Government was fixed
there. We further believe that every act passed
by Congress, since the formation of the Government,
recognizing, or exercising such power, was and is
a direct usurpation. Our conclusions, feebly sus
tained as they may be, are based upon the follow
ing reasons. We believe that it may be assumed
as an axiom, in respect to our peculiar form of
Government, that between the State Governments
and the Federal Government, there are no concur
rent powers—that is, powers that may be at the
same time exercised by the or the Federal
Government. If this be true, and we trust it is, it
settles the question against the exercise of that
function by Congress; for the States have exercised
the prerogative of instituting or rejecting slavery
before and ever since the-organization of the Fede
ral Government. The rule thus laid down, we
apprehend,. will be found to be uniform, reasonable
and universal. A power ordinarily and properly
exercised by a State, cannot legitimately be exer.
cised by Congress; and the powers legitimately ex
ercised by Congress, cannot be constitutionally exer
cised by the State Legislatures. Rightly adminis
tered there are no clashings in our system; bat I
when either power usurps what belongs to the
other, then comes the Confusion. Again, the Gen
eral Government is not a sovereignty, but merely
the agent of sovereignties. It only the guardian
minister, or trustee, of the State sovereignties and
possesses no original powers. Congress has no
right to discuss the expediency or morality of sub
jects, not referred to it in the powers enumerated
in the Federal Constitution. The morality of every
institution existing in any of the United States, at
its adoption, was sanctioned and ratified by that
constitution. Hence, as negro servitude was in ex
istence ito a majority of the States at -the time of
the formation of the Union, and as it is purely a
State right, Congress, the common trustee of all
the States, cannot interfere with it, or lesson or im
pair any of titese State rights, but must respect
and protect the whole without partiality.
Besides, the manifest injustice of Congress, bar
ring any of the parties to this Union from the
Territories, which are the common property of all
the States, is so great, as to carry conviction to
every man's mind unless swayed by the grossest pre
judice. It would be equivalent to destroying the
consideration on which the covenants of the con
stitution were predicated—the very ground work
of the Union—the impartial and equal protection,
and sacred regard of all the reserved rights of the
individual states. The Wilmot proviso is a Ines.-
' sure of precisely this character, and clearly a vio
lation of the intent and meaning of the constitu
tion. It proposes to the Southern States no more
nor less than this, when fairly interpreted, "you shall
pay your money—assist in fighting the battles of your
country—and sacrifice your youth by thousands in
acquiring territory; yet when it comes to the question of
participating in the indemnity acquired by these sacri
flees, they are gravely told they are to enjoy none
of the benefits acquired by their blood and their.
treasure, because their domestic policy is not reg
ulated in accordance with the prejudices or selfish.
ness of the northern states. It is the manifest
duty of Congress to show no partiality in the ful
filment of its delegated trusts, but on the contrary,
to extend the iEgis of its protection over all the
domestic rights of its - principals, the State soverei
gnties. For whatever is recognized as property in
any of the States Congress is bound to regard as
sacred. No power on earth, under our constitu
tion, has a right to determine what shall be the
character of the population 61 a State or Territory,
but the people of that particular State or Territory
while shaping the - fundamental law of such State.'
It is a sovereign act springing from the deepest
source of popular power. There is but one con
dition that Congress can impose,' and that is that
the constitution shall be Republican. Any other
condition is flat usurpation. If it were legitimate
for Congress to bar out the Southern States from
the territories, it certainly would follow that the
Southern States, if they had the majority, could bar
Out the Northern States. .But this would alter the
case mightily in the eyes of the Northern people.
A different clamor would be raised immediately,
and what now they claim as an undisputed right,
they would denounce by all the opprobrious epithets
that Northern garrulity is master of. The fact is,
that almost every, invasion of the Constitution of
the United States since its adoption has been made
or prompted by some aspirant for the Presidency
to buy unworthy,' support. The "Missouri Com
promise' so.called, was a throw made by Mr. Clay,'
for Eastern support for the Presidency. The term
cornpromise,is.a ;contemptible misnomer, used to
deceive the - People. The "Missouri Compromise"
was a common act of Congress and entitled to no
other designation. To call acts of Congress by
other names is a miserable juggle unworthy of a
statesman or a patriot. Such clap trap terms are
only invented for a sinister purpose.
Again, Mi. Clay, made the sacrifice of his alle
giance to the Constitution in supporting a United
States Bank to purchase the favor of the mercantile
and speculating communityalso the interpolation
of taxation for "protection" in the place of 'sacred
obligations of the constitution—in order to build up a
mercenary interest deaf to all the claims of justice
or patriotism. In short, Mr. Clay's whole career
for the kit thirty-five years, , has been a system of
licentious bidding or pledges of important rights
on the altar of an unchastened ambition. Thro'
such infidelity have the sacred defences of the Con
stitution been broken through, and hence the con
fusion and clashing of the powers of the Govern
ment. Mr. Benton, after having been a stalwart
defender of the Constitution for more than 25 years,
now in a fit of resentment, comes forward and
consents to yield up one of its last safeguards to
avenge himself for personal offences. We are sur-.
prised at Mr. Benton and induced to exclaim tan
taene irae, &c? .
•
•
The tone of some of the most extensively circu
lated papers, is exceedingly imprudent—one might
say almost treasonable--in reference to this ques.
lion. The Philadelphia Ledger, by way of eminence,
seems to betray a diabolical malice upon this occa
sion. It seems to seize upon every circumstance,
and to use the most proVeking, taunts to aggravate
and insult the South beyond Measure. Its editor,
or editors, adroitly mix up a goodly quantity of
excellent and correct. principles with others which
contain, in our view, the most deadly poison. In
reply to the firm and dignified tone of the Southern
patriots in vindication of their and our own civil
and political rights, he or they insult them by tel
ling them they will set Connecticut or little Rhode
Island upon theni to dragoon them into submission
to abolition madness, the two States 'that in a
recent struggle with the great enemy of our Na
tional Independence and Republican institutions,
threatened to raise the standard of rebellion against
the Union, and niake a seperate peace with the
great Pirate of the Ocean.
• • * *
Our opinion is that where the enemy of the
Democratic cause makes his most furiouS attack,
there the Democratic party should make the most
fearless and determined resistance. It is not good
policy to allow the enemy to occupy some strong
post, and admit him within the walls to have the
dear bought amusement of,driving him out. What
do we gain by conceding points to our natural foes?
We all know the unhappy consequences to Demo
ocratic harmony and Democratic success, conse
quent upon the unwise Concession, by some portions
of the Democratic press in favor, of the United
States Bank, and of the absurd reasons t'n favor of
a grinding, unequal and unjust high 'protective"
Tariff as it ryas called. That Tariff only regarded
one interest, the New England sateless manufac
turing interest at the sacrifice of all others, and of
the vital and substantial interests of Pennsylvania
in particular. Pennsylvania has been looked upon
by too many of those who aspired to guide ~her
destiny, as a field for political speculation. They
did not enquire what would redound t her lasting
prosperity and power, but what catch-word or cur
rent set in motion would 'avail them the most for
present elevation.
The people had been amused by captandum
paradoxes and ear tickling phrases which allured
the fancy, but cheated the understanding. It was
thought to be easier to flatter a prevailing error,
than to stem. the current by reason. Hence the
Amen on all sides to the unfortunate errors that
have been disseminated by Whigs or men in alliance
with them calling themselves Democrats---and
hence the unhappy confusion that has reigned in
the Democratic ranks, to their humiliation and the
triumph of their foes. The Wilmot proviso was
the cunningly contrived entering wedge (not by the
mover, for we have too much confidence in his
patriotism to suppose such design in him) to split
the Democratic party of this Union, that the vic
tory over the cause of rational freedom and equal
ity of rights might be easily purchased.
They accurately calculated that all the old sound
devoted Democrats who- understood the insidious
movements of the old Federal aristocracy would
remain faithful to the covenants of the constitution„
and maintain the faith plighted at its adoption ;
while those of less experience and who were less
firmly anchored in their political faith, would be
swept away by the upper current. This has all
come• to pass, and it is now our duty and interest
to recover the power thus imprudently lost by the
delinquency of some, and by the mistakes.of others.
The Wilmot proviso is purely a Federal move
upon the board of American poli•ics; and should
be so regarded and counteracted by every true
sentinel whose province it is to watch over the
fortunes of the Democratic cause. • • •
- . .
But amid all the chaos and 'Confusion which -
this pestilental subject has scattered around us, one
noble and encourging object commands our grate.
ful admiration. Lewis Cass, a proud name for
Demccracy, in accordance with the noble part he
acted -in Europe against the "Holy-Alliance" of
Despots, has taken his position on the platform of
truth and patriotism, which shall not slide from
beneath his feet, and stands like the statue of Mi
nerva in front of the Parthenon defending the con
stitution of his country, and advocating a rigid
observance of its covenants.
The Empty Cradle.
" The mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers that she most did love ;
She knew she'd find them all again,
In the field of light above."
The death of a little child is to the mother's
heart like dew on a plant from which a bud has
perished. The plant lilts up its head in ifeshened
greenness to the morning light; so the mother's
soul gathers from the dark sorrow through which
she has passed, a fresh brightening of our heavenly
hopes.
As she bends over the empty cradle, and in fancy
brings her sweet infant before her, a ray of divine
light is on the cherub face. It is her son still, but
with the seal of immortality on his brow. She
feels that Heaven was the only atmosphere where
her precious flower could unfold without spot or
blemish, and she would not recall the lost. The
world to her is no longer filled with human love
and hope—in the future, so glorious with heavenly
love and joy, she has treasures of happiness which
the worldly, unchastened heart never conceived.—
The bright fresh flowers with which she has deco
rated her room, the apartment where her infant
died, are members of the far brighter hopes now
dawinifilon her „day-dream. She thinks of the
gloryland beauty of the new Jerusalem, where-the
little f6ot will never find a thorn among the flowers
to render a shoe necessary. Nor will a pillow be
wanting for a dear head reposing on ttle° breast of
a kind Saviour. And she knows her infant-is there,
in that world of eternal bliss. She has marked one
passage in that Book—to her emphatically the
World of Life—now lying closed on the toilet
table, which she daily reads, " Suffer little children,
and forbid them not to come unto me; for of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven."
LOVE or CHILDBEN.—TeII me not of the trim,

dren; "where," as the good German has it, "the
fly traps always hang straight on the wall;'! tell
me not of the never disturbed nights and days; of
the tranquil unanxious hearts; where children are
not! I care not for these things. God sends chil
dren for another purpose than merely to keep up
the race—to enlarge our hearts, to make us unsel
fish, and full of kindly sympathies and affections;
to give our souls higher aims, and to call out all
our faculties to extend enterpnse and exertion; to
bring round our fireside bright faces and happy
smites, and loving, tender hearts. My soul blesses
the Great Father every day, that he has gladdened
the earth with little children.'
