A COT IN THE WEST.
1 lov’d a lone and quiet spot
Where scenes, sublime, of nature dwell ;
The vet’ran oaks—the rural cot,
Have found a place in niem’ry’s cell.
I lov’d that cot—there first I learn’d
In sport to chase the butterflv ;
My youthful heart with pleasure burn’d —
Pleasure, I thought could never die.
\ ’Twaa there I spent my childish hours,
’ \1 id forest, hills and groves most dear ;
‘My pathway slre\v’d t ’with fragrant flow’rs,
I rambled on and knew no fear.
I lov’d to watcl) the riv’let bright,
Whose hcav'n y music charms me still.
It anthems day and night,
And sweetly work’d its Master’s will.
1 lov’d when summer smil’d serene,
At early morn to wandeV, where
The earth presents the-richest scene—
Where Nature's works were found most fair.
I lov’d the churchyard’s solitude
As twilight drew Irfer veil around ;
Where chanting zephyrs oft intrude,
And softly steal o’er ev’ry mound.
I lov’d to linger round the grave
Where a departed sister lies;
I lov’d to think of Him who gave
To her a home in Paradise.
I love thee yet, thou hallow’d spot—
Thy mern'ry still is dear to me;
Deserted now—but not forgot,
I’ve wander’i! forth—’twas llcav’n’s decree.

Volunteers of 1814.
JIT JEFFERSON SUTHERLAND.
There ha£ recently appeared in some of the
public prints of the Union, an article under the
title of “Soldiers ot 1812,” giving notice that there
had been held at Washington, District of Columbia,
a meeting of a number of those who served as
officers in the war of 1812; and that these officers
had appointed a eommittee of their number to
present to Congress, at its present session, a memo®*
rial, soliciting the passage of a law granting a
bounty in land to the officers of the army of. lb 12,
in proportion to the rank of each. This notice has
called to mind, with the writer, a reminiscence of
his early youth, embracing some of the leading in
cidents of the campaign of 1814, on the Niagara
frontier, which it was.his fortune to witness in.his
boyhood.
The project referred to, though published under
the very liberal caption of "Soldiers of IS I*J," has
for its object to procure for the officers, who lorded
it over those soldiers, donations of public lands, in
tracts of 14U0, 9UU, and 700 acres, &c., which
would into the Hands of the land speculators,
and only serve to put a few hundred dollars into
the pockets of the rich, or add the like to the dis
tributions and legacies ol graceless heirs, while the
poor soldiers—the soldiers in fact—as it would
seem, are yet to be left to—
e Beg bitter bread through realms their valor saved,’
and as the "officers of 1S12” have thrown before
the people their claims for consideration, it has
suggested itself to the writer, that there were other
grades of the service, than "the officers of the reg
ular army/’ who have claims upon the bounties of
a "grateful people.”
The Ist of January, 1 SI4, found the Government
of the United States involved in a war with Great
Britain, then the most powerful nation ot Europe.
From the commencement of the war in lbl2, our
enemy ha'd been engaged in a continental war,
which had required the application of the highest
amount of his men and means ; but from this, at
the abate noted, be had been released, and was then
prepared to direct the might of his people to the
prosecution of the projected invasion o! our country,
which then lay comparatively open, from Michigan
Lake to Champlain—from Champlain to the Bay of
Fundy—and from thence to the Gulf of Mexico.
On the Niagara frontier, our shores had been invad
ed, and Tort Niagara, at the confluence of that
river, (Niagara.) with Lake Ontario, was occupied
by the enemy's forces; and early in the year, pre
datory bands of British and Indians burned the
whole of the villages and hamlets situated on the
New York shore ol the river, and laid waste the
to the distance of near forty miles
in the interior. *
The fleeing inhabitants were •‘calling upon the
State and national governments for protection from
the torch of the ruthless Briton, and the tomahawk
of the murderous Indian. In answer to this appeal,
the Legislature of New York, by enactment, an
thorized the Governor of the State to. call for and
to accept the-service of two regiments of volunteer
infantry, and one battalion of mixed troops, to be
employed in the detenee of its frontiers; and the
government at Washington was straining even
nerve to collect a force of regulars sufficient for the
exigencies of the country; and to effect the filling
up the several regiments which the President was
authorized to raise, Congress had by law, provided
-bounties of §l2O and 320 acres of land tor each
enlisted soldier. These bounties soon swept the
country ol the idle populatipn; but still the ranks
ot the army were not filfed. The price of the
produce of the soil was greatly increased—industry
was exc'.fcd—and hence, the recruits came in slowly,
and thjjiountry remained undefended with a
sufficiency of force to repel the thousands of tried
and well drilled troops which were then about to
be poured upon our borders; of which New York
had the largest extent, & most* difficult of defence
To meet the impending crisis, and in obedience
to the statute provisions of the Legislature, Gov.
Tompkins issued proclamations calling for volun
teers, and himself travelled through the State,
meeting the people in their assemblies, and person
ally.soliciting them to put on their arms, and to
turn out lor the defence of their homes. Several
hundred of the people at once.answered the GdVer
nor’s call, and being organized* in companies,
marched for the Niagara Frontier.
In one of these companies of volunteers, embod
ied near the centre of the State of New York, the
father of the writer, (the late Silas'Sutherland,)
served the country in an humble capacity; and the
writer, himself, then a child of only nine years of
age, accompanied his father through the entire
campaign; and although he was too young to do
service lor the country, be had the honor of Hein*'
tented j-vith the American army serving under Gen.
Brown*
These volunteers' were mustered into the service
for the defence, of the State: and such were the terms
of their engagement. Yet, when they had arrivej
at Buffalo, and there were informed that General
Brown had resolved to carry the war into Upper
Canada, they again volunteered and followed the
flag across,. the river. At Chippewa,
they tried their muiketej at Bridgewater they were
present at the proper time, and did efficient service;
through the siege of Fort Erie, they held a position
in the works, and stood up to them at the moment
ot the assault; and they carried the points of the
epemy's works assigned to them at the sortie; and
side by side with the New Yorkers, in all their
gallant achievements, was a battalion of Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, equal in discipline, gallantry and
patriotism.
From the commencement to the end ot the
campaign, the New York Volunteers continued in
service, and were much of the time under the ene
my's fire, though they received small rations, and
no pay and no clothing; ‘and finally, when the in
clemency of the weather compelled the enemy to
retire into winter quarters, the volunteers were
withdrawn from the enemy's territories to Buffalo,
and from thence, in a miserable condition of desti
tution, they were marched through the mud and
wet, of the last days of October, to Batavia, distant
forty miles, scattering their diseased and dying
aloug the road; ami at Batavia,on the Bth ol Nuvem
ber. such of them as had been spared by disease
and battle, to answer to their names, were mustered
out ot service, and dismissed to their homes, with
out payment for their services, except the distribu
tion of $4, and SG, and to some $B, made of a small
sum of money borrowed from a private citizen,
upon the personal obligations of General Peter B
Porter and Col. Hugh W. Dobbin. The men who
composed these volunteer companies, had been'
drawn from sections of the State one, two. and
three hundred miles distant from their place ol
disbandment; and these distances they were sent
off to travel with only such pitilul sums of money
as stated, iri early winter; and as destitute of clo
thing as of money—not having received anv from
the government, and that procured by themselves,
having been worn through a campaign of six
months, including a siege of fifty or more days.—
lhe father of the writer, in order to command the
means required to take him to his Ijome, was com
pelled to sell his sword, and all his little trophies
of war ol which he hail obtained a number.
The hospital of these volunteers, at Batavia, was
a school house, in which there was placed lor the
sick, neither cot, bunk, nor bed ; and on the cold
floor of that school house, with but a single blan
ket, many of those brave defenders of their country
writhed in their last agonies, and were curried
from thence to the soldiers unmarked grave. The
duty of the writer's father required him. while en
camped at Batavia, to pass the hospital (/) every
morning, and he, (the writer.) by permission, ac
companied him; and seldom did they.pass that
dreary place without witnessing, laid out fipon a
board in lront of the house, some new’ corse wrap
ped in a soldier's blanker.
About a year after the disbandment of the volun
teers at Batavia, a paymaster passed through the
State and distributed the soldier's monthly pay. for
the time these volunteers had been in service, to
such of them as came to him; and beyond this,
neither remunerations, rewards, nor bounties have
been bestowed or provided for the “ Volunteers ol
1814."’
For the relief of those of the volunteers who sur
vive, and for the heirs of those deceased, the writer
the following project, which he believes
would command universal approbation:

THE WIDOW
A widow is a dangerous thing,
With soil,.blacks, shining curls,
And looketh more bewitching '
Than a host of romping girls ;
Her laugh is so delicious—
So knowing clear, beside,
You’d never dream her thinking
Soon to become a bride.
Her dress, though made of sables,
Gives roundness to her form—
A-touch of something thoughtful,
A witching, winning charm,
And when she sjts down by you,
With quiet, easy grace—
A tear may fail unbidden,
Or a smile lightup her face.
Her voice is soft—melodious—
And lute like in its tone ;
She sometimes sighs : £< ’tis dreadful
To pass thgpugh life alone.”
And then she’ll tell you, you remind her
Of the loved ooe dead and gone,
Your step, your form, your features ;
Thus the widow will run on.
Oh ! listen, yet be careful,
For well she plays her part—
Her lips distil the nectar •
That doth enslave the heart.
Be guarded, or she will win you,
With sighs and smiles, and tears ;
I’ faith she’ll wear the breeches, too,
And box your silly ears.
The N. Y. Tribune has a letter, dated San Fran
cisco, Jan. 31, which says—
Some astonishingly large pieces of gold are re
ported to have been found at the Stockton mines
within the last two weeks. One piece weighing
twenty-three pounds was brought to Stockton on
Ihursday. Another piece of incredible size and
weight was also reported to have been brought to
Stopkton on Friday— it was said to weigh ninety
eight pounds. I saw a number of persons on board
the Stockton boaj who had seen the lump weighing
twenty-three pounds. The gentleman who carries
the express between Stockton and San Francisco
told me he saw and had in his hands the piece weigh
ing ninety-eight pounds. If this be true it is the larg
est piece of gold ever found,'excepting one found in
the Uni mountains, which weighed nearly one
hundred pounds troy.

“ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”— Buchanan.
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, 1850.
SPEECH
COL. GORMAN.
Extracts from the speech of Col. W. A. Gorman,
of Indiana, delivered in the House of Representa
tives, March 12, 1800:
It was the Democratic party who was for the
war with Mexico, brought on by the wanton shed
ding of American blood upon American soil. It
was the Whig party that opposed it. with a few
honorable exceptions. It was the Democratic party
who declared that this war was begun by the act of
Mexico; and it was the Whig party who said that
it was unnecessarily and unconstitutionally begun
by the act of the President! It was the Democratic
; party who acquired Calilornia and New Mexico,
I with her inexhaustible mines of gold and silver,
ind other precious metals—thereby opening a new
land extensive trade on the Pacific; it was the
Whig party who oppo ed it. It was the Demo
cratic party that obtained the re-occupation ol
Oregon, with her vast agricultural resources, her
rive is, and her. harbors; it was the Whig party
who opposed it, with a lew honorable exceptions.
The honorable gentleman from Georgia should
have gone lurther, and told his Whig friends that
lit was the Democratic party that acquired Florida
irom Spain, and Louisiana from France; both of
which Requisitions have opened new channels o£
commerce and wealth, and given an outlet to the
-reat valley of the Mississippi, for her inexhausti
ble agricultural productions. And it was the
Whig party that opposed it. it has been the Dem
ocratic party, who have favored the progiess ol
human liberty throughout the world; it has always
been the Whig party who have opposed it. Mr.
Chairman, I now propose to say a few words
about this hackneyed phrase of northern and south
ern aggression. The fanatics of the North—l
mean Abolitionists—and their co-laborers, in the
work of agitation, charge that the .South have
always succeeded in carrying every measure be
fore Congress. Why is this so ! I answer, (if it
is true) that the heavy body of the Democratic
party has generally been South of Mason and
Dixon's line, and that they have had most of the
Presidents a Washington, Jefferson, Madison.
AJonroe, Jackson, ami Polk. These illustrious
men always maintained the doctrine of a strict
construction of, and adherence to, the Con
stitution of the United States; and that Congress
should exercise no powerlnot granted in the Con
stitution, except it be a necessary incident thereto,
to carry into effect some expressly delegated power.
Each of these illustrious patriots left their impress
upon the age in which they lived and ruled: They
transmitted to their posterity their pure republican
principles, which have been beacon lights to the
Democratic party ever since.. With those repub
lican doctrines, many of the Northern States, and
nearly all the Western States, have deeply sympa
thised. as the only sale doctrine lor the perpetuity
of American “liberty. For many years past, the
South alone have not had the numerical strength 1
to pass any law without assistance from the North
and Wesr. The Democratic party, North ami
South, have invariably resisted the doctrine of
protecting the manufacturing capital of the North
and East, at the expense of the great agricultural
interests of the country; and I very much lear,
that this agitation of the slavery question has its
foundation in a desire to get rid of any further as
sociation with this republican sentiment of the
South ; and finding the Southern people sensitive
upon the subject ol slavery, have seized upon this
question as a pretext to cover up the real motive.
But, Mr. Chairman, what do the South ask ‘ I
answer, nothing, but to be let alone. If I under
stand her statesmen, ami those who proless to
speak for her upon this floor, they do not propose
to extend the institution ol slavery by any act of
Congress. The Democratic party of the South,
in most of lhe States, have passed resolutions, de
daring the doctrine ol non-intervention, as the
only constitutional ground that can be taken on
the subject of slavery in the territories. Resolu
tions were adopted by the Democratic party of
Georgia and Mississippi, in IS4S, substantially as
lollows:
“ Resolved, That the people of the South do not
ask of Congress to es'ablish the institution of sla
very in any of the territory that may be acquired
by the United States. They simpjy require that
the inhabitants of each territory be left free to de
termine for themselves, whether the institution of
slavery shall, or shall not, form a part of their
social system.”
•••••••
Mr. Chairman, I now propose to examine, for a
few minutes, the doctrine ot the Wilmot Proviso.
I said to my constituents, and I now say here, to
day, this proviso was "conceived in sin. and brought
forth in iniquity,** by Martin Van Buren, through a
deep-seated desire to avenge his disappointed ambi
tion. It was intended to defeat Lewis Cass and
the Democratic party. Yes, Mr. Chairman, this
-son of York,” who the great Democratic party
had nursed, reared, and cujessed, and into whose
nostrils they breathed the breath of political life,
when he came to lull maturity, “turned to a ser
pent, and stung his benefactors to death.' 1 But I
firmly believe he has furnished a motto for our po
litical regeneration: "The sober, second thought
of the people."
“Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers.”
But if the South ask us of the North to give our
consent to extend slavery one inch, by law, we say,
no, no; we cannot, we will not do it.
If the only choice left us, is to vote for slavery
extension, or lor restriction, we will vote \or free
dom; we are no propagandists of slavery; we pro
pose to trust the people —and there we stop.
Now, Mr. Chairman—pardon this digression—l
propose to inquire whether it is necessary and ex
pedient to pass the Wilmot Proviso, dr otherwise
trammel, by Congressional action, the will of the
people in these territories.
It, as every northern man, and many of the
southern, admit, these territories are now free from
African slavery, how can they suppose that the
passage of the Proviso will make it more free?
The'only ground upon which the Wilmot Proviso
can be justified, by republicans, is, that they doubt
the capacity ot the people to govern themselves—
that they believe the people are not so wise, fiot so
moral, not so good, and that they do not love lib
erty so dearly as they do! Northern Free Soilers
are wonderfully alarmed for fear the people' will
not know what is best for their own wellare, for
fear these far-west, backwoods pioneers, will not
have sense enough to take care of themselves.
It pre-supposes that Congress has the power to
do every thing not expressly forbidden. Instead of
the republican doctrine, that Congress can exercise
no power .not expressly granted, or as a necessary
incident to some express grant, and that all power
not expressly granted to the General Government,
is reserved to the States respectively, or to the people ,
this doctrine ol the Proviso assumes that Congress
has power to make all needful rules and regula
lions for the people of the territories, and confounds
the people, and the inherent rights of man, with
the right which is granted in the Constitution, to
make all needful rules and regulations for the dis
position of the property of the United States. *
* * • • •
But, Mr. Chairman, I hope to be pardoned for
turning aside to notice a remark made by the hon
orable gentleman from Pennsylvania, [Mr. Stevens]
He, sir, is a distinguished leader of the Whig party,
and like the honorable gentleman from Massachu
setts, he must bear his share of the responsibility
of this dangerous agitation. He says:
“ But in this glorious country, where nearly two
thirds of the people are free, we can say anything
within these walls with impunity, unless it be to
agitate in favor of human liberty—that is aggres
sion /”
Agitate for human liberty! That is the cant
phrase. What does he propose to accomplish by
agitation? He admits that we cannot disturb sla
very in the States. He admits, and declares, that
there is no slavery in California or New Mexico.
He admits, and declares, that they are now free.—
And now. I ask who does he propose to make free?
What bonds does he ask to break ? What chains
fetter the limbs of the freemen of the territories?
I suppose, he, like others of his party, is very much
alarmed, lest these hard-fisted, honest-hearted people
of the far West will abolish freedom, and load them
selves with chains and slavery. Mr. Chairman,
this is the style of all the Free Soil arguments I
have ever heard; but X desire to ask the Free Boil
i Democrats one question. After you have got this
slavery question settled, where do you intend, as a
political party to go? or what do you intend to do?
•Do you still intend to make it a political test ol
party organization? If you do, at this point you
and I must part company. I claim to love liberty,
ray country, and the Constitution, as well, and as
devotedly, as any man in any party, I, for one,
will stand by the Constitution and the Union of
these States, come what will, or may. “ The
Union must be preserved.”
Now, Mr. Chairman, I beg to. say one thing to
the great national Democratic party, of which 1
clairr to be an humble member. You have held
the control of this mighty nation for fifty years out
of sixty. Its prosperity and its glory have been
the work ot your hands. You have passed through
many storms of political strife, and have brought
the ship of State, each time, safely into port. You
have been beaten occasionally, but “never conquer
ed.” Your temporary tail has only given renewed
energy and vigor to your time honored principles
of republican liberty. You have strangled to death
that hydia headed monied monster, that once threat
ened the freedom of the laboring millions, until the
name of “United States Bank" stinks in lhe-nostri!s
of every Democratic republican. You have sus
tained, triumphantly, the doctrine of “equal rights
to all men, exclusive privileges to none." You
have sympathised with, and sustained, the progress
ot human liberty throughout the world. Your
voices, your strong arms, and stout hearts, have
always been raised in defence of your country ; ami
while your countrymen were bleeding at every
pore—while your brethren were offering up their
lives upon the altar of their country —you have
encouraged and sustained them; and while vour
brethren were pouring out their blood in a foreign
land, in defence ot the national honor, you never t
[old the soldier, when he was returning from the |
field of blood, that he had just been engaged in a
war that “was unconstitutionally and unnecessarily 1
begun.” l r ou have, while holding the reins oi l
government, extended and enlarged the bounds ol
human freedom.
In 184 S. you fell, defending the right of the peo
ple to settle this vexed question, and all others, for
themselves. Now, sir, the present Executive, Gen,
Taylor', has approximated to the truth, you fell de
tending. Even the great Northern light—the great
Ajax of Northern Whig principles—after having
made a most unjust anil untounded attack upon
Northern Democrats.—has finally given in his ad
hesion to the Northern Democratic doctrine, that
there is no necessity for passing this “Wilmot"—l
will add. “Proviso:” he does not dignity it so much.
And now’, when all parties, with but lew exceptions,
are giving in their adhesion to the Democratic doc
trine of non-interference, on the subject of slavery
in the territories,'! hope to see Northern Democrats
standing in one rank upon the great rock of the
Constitution, to save their beloved" country from
this threatening crisis. If you will, we shall have
preserved our country, our national identity as a
party, and our liberal, patriotic spirit as men.
I hen shall we have added another Democratic tri
umph to the long list of victories over error in by
gone days.
Cutting it tfiiicU.
Many years since, there did dwell in a certain
town, not a hundred miles from that far-famed
place where orthodox divines are fitted up for their
profession and calling, a certain D. D., notorious
lor his parsimoniousness, which would occasionally
run into the wildest extremes.
“ Like a peach that’s got the vallcrs,
With its meanness bustin out.” —llosea Billow.
One day this doctor of divinity chanced into a
hat store in this city, and after rummaging over the
wares, selected an ordinary-looking hat—"put it on
his reverend head—ogled himself in’lhe glass—then
asked the very lowest price of it—telling the ten
der that if he could get it cheap enough he thought
he might buy it. °
“But,” said the hatter, “that hat is not good
enough for you to wear—here is what you want,”
showing one of his best beavers. ’
“Tis the best I can afford, though," returned the
theologian.
" Well, there, doctor—l II make a present of that
best beaver, if you'll wear it and tell your friends
whose store it came from. I'll warrant you'll send
me customers enough to get my money‘back with
interest—you are pretty extensively acquainted.'*
A “Thank you—thank you!” said the doctor his
eyes gleaming with pleasure at raising a castor so
cheaply—"how much may this beaver be worth?'"
“ We sell that kind of hat (or eight dollars,'' re
plied the man of nap.
"And the other?" continued the reverend gentle
man.
"The man of sermons put on the beaver—looked
in the glass—then at the three-dollar hat.
*' I think, sir, said he—taking off the the beaver,
and holding it in one hand as he donned the cheap
tile, "I think, sir, that this hat will answer my
purpose full as well as the best.”
“But you'd better take the best one, sir, it costs
you no more.”
“B-u-t—b-u-t,” replied the parson hesitatingly—
"l didn't know—but—per-haps—yob would as’lief
I would take the cheap one—and’leave the other
and perhaps you would not mind giving me tne
difference in a five dollar bill."

Blackwood’s magazine and ttae
i British Quarterly Reviews.
OWING to the late revolutions and counter-rev
olutions among the nations of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which “the end is not yet,” the leading pe
riodicals of Great Britain have become invested
with a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They
occupy a middle ground between the hasty, disjoin
ted, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises
to be furnished by the historian at a future day.
Whoever reads these periodicals obtains x correct
and connected account of all the important political
events of the old world, as they occur, and learns
the various conclusions drawn from them by- the
leading spirits of the age. The American Publish-
I ers iherefore deem it proper to call renewed atten
tion to the works they republish an 1 the very low
prices at which they are offered to subscribers.—
The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW.
THE EDINGBURG REVIEW.
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINGBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views,
moderately, though clearly and firmly expressed,
of the three great parties in England—Tory, Whig,
and Radical — l< Blackwood” and the “ London
Quarterly” are Tory the “ Edinburgh Review”
Whg; and the “ Westminter Review” Liberal.—
The “ North British Review” owes its establish-,
meet to the last great ecclesiastical movement in
Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any one
of the grand departments of human knowledge: it
was originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now,
since his death, is conducted bv his son-in-law, Dr.
Hanna, associated with Sir David Brewster. Its
literary character is of the very highest order. The
Westminster,” though reprinted under that title
only, is published in England under the title of the
“Foreign Quarterly & Westminster,” it being in fact
a union of the two Reviews formerly published and
reprinted under separate titles. It has, therefore,
the advantage by combination, of uniting in one
work the best features of both as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New
York, immediately on their arrival by the British
steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white
paper, and are faithful copies of the -originals,
Blackwood's-Magazine being an eiact/ac-simi7« of
the Edinburgh edition.
