SPRING BY JAMES MONTGOMERY. Once more, with merry face the laughing world Trips its gay rounds or in the sunshine basks, While in the tree tops, swinging with the wind, The feathered minstrelß tune their pipes to song. Now the wild woods are blithe with roundelays, And magic echoes multiply the sound, Till every hill and shadowy ravine deep With animated voices 3eem alive. The nodding cowslip, bending to the breeze, Hides its gay head among the fringy grass, Acd, blushing, peep 9 from its rich hiding place, And drinks the dew drop from the tangled sward.. The blushing rose, with brier protected stem, Exhales its odors to the morning breeze, And, gemmoi with many a dew drop, glittering smiles, A paradox of seeming joy and tears. The merry fields put on their garments green, And tiny grass-blades, delicately shaped, Close o’er the long forsaken path that oft My childish steps unconscious pressed, when 1, With heart as light as air, tripped gaily forth To laugh and sing among the woods and wilds. How changed am I ? Blithe natnro is the same— Her fields are green as when my boyish steps, To young and light—fantastically wild— From rock to ruck, with many an antic loap, Enjoyed a school boy’s merry holiday. Her rocks are quite as high and grey with age As when I clambered to their utmost peak, To earn a guerdon o’er my playmate boy, And in the triumph carve my humble name. The trees are quite as tall —their limbs outspread, As when 1 chased the squirrel to her retreat, And from her silky, moss environed bed, With wild, exulting shrieks her infanta stole. The hills are just the same—the change in me; In body, spirit, thought, and even mind, Eor-those have undergone the change of age — Tho alchemy that tests all human thought— And views things as they are, not as they wore. All things material change. Earth, seas and sky Are changed, and counter-changing till tho whole .Regenerated mass puts on a different garb, And in her aspect now shinos gaily forth. Empires have risen, ruled and passed away, And scarcely loft a trace of what they were ; But for tho record old agrarian Time Would blot from out the list their very names, And leave a blank instead of human grandeur. The marble obelisk—the sculptured stone, Piece-meal are crumbling into mother dust; The weather-beaten hills, whose shaggy brow 3 Havo braved the tempest and the with’ring blast, Yield inch by inch their ancient citadels, And crumbling day by day, their level seek. This is tho work of Time—relentless Time, Whose magic wand converts the auburn locks Of youth to silver grey of riper ago ; Tho rose that blooms upon the maiden’s cheek Fades at his touch, and many a wrinkle deep Are rndely graven on tho spinster’s brow. But. o’er this all the oft returning year Throws off its lethargy —its frosts and snows, And gently wakes to life the sluggish world. Oh! Spring, true typo of ne’er roturniDg youth, I hail thee as a maiden hails her bridal day, And when I seo thee in thy beauteous garb— Fair as some fancied scene in Genii’d tale — My thoughts run backward to the boyish days When everything was gaiety and life, And through the ’wildred maze of thoughts I scan The winding path that led from youth to age. These are the thoughts, oh ! Spring, thy presenoe brings, To mirror in our minds tho book of life, And trom its magic page we often learn, A lesson fit to guide tho wisest sago. Address of Acting Governor Stanton to the Feople of Kansas. Fellow Citizens: —The Ron. Robert J. Walker, present Governor of the Terri tory, accepted his appointment from the President upon condition that he should not be required to leave Washing ton until the first of next month, and cir cumstances beyond his control render it impossible for him to start before that day; he may, therefore, be expected by the middle of next month, and will then as sume the Executive authority of the Ter ritory. During the absence of the Governor, by the organio law of the Territory, the whole duties and responsibilities of the Executive are devolved upon me, by virtue of my commission as Secretary. On as suming to exercise the funotions of this high office, at this critical juncture in the affairs of the Territory, it is not inappro priate that I should briefly indicate the course which I shall pursue. The Government of the Unitfed States recognizes the authority of the Territorial Government in all matters which are within the scope of the organic act of Congress, and consistent with the Federal Constitution. I hold that there can be no other rightful authority exercised within the limits of Kansas, and I shall proceed to the faithful and impartial execution of the laws of the Territory, by the use of all the means placed in my power, and which may be necessary to that end. The Government expressly recognizes the Territorial act whiclUprovides for as sembling the Convention to propose a Constitution, with a view of making appli cation to Congress for admission as a State into the Union. That act is recognized as presenting the only test of the qualifi cation of voters for delegates to the Con vention, and all preceding repugnant re strictions are thereby repealed. In this light the act must be allowed to have pro vided for a full and fair expression of the will of the people through the delegates who may be chosen to represent them in the -Constitutional Convention. 1 do not doubt, however, that in order to avoid all pretext for resistance to the peaceful oper ation of this law, the Convention itself will in some form provide for submitting the great distracting question regarding their social institution, whioh has so long agitated the people of Kansas, to a fair vote of all the actual bona fide residents of the Territory, with every possible se curity against fraud and violence. If the Constitution be thus framed, and the question-of difference submitted a to the decision of the people, I believe that Kan sas will be admitted by Congress, without delay, as one of the sovereign States of the American Union, and the Territorial authorities will be immediately withdrawn. I need scarcely say that all the power of the Territorial Executive will be ex erted, with entire impartiality, to prevent fraud, to suppress violence and to secure to every citizen a fair opportunity for the safe and peaceful exeroise of the election privilege; and it will be no less the duty than the earnest desire and great pleasnre of the Governor, or acting Governor of the Territory, to carry out, in good faith, the policy avowed by the President of the United States, in his recent Inaugural Address, in which he declares it to be “the imperative and indispensable duty of the Government of the Unitsd States to secure to every resident inhabitant the free and independent expression of his opinion by his vote. This sacred right to each individual must be preserved,” and that being accomplished, nothing can be fairer than to leave the people of the Ter ritory, free from all foreign influence, to decide their own destiny for themselves, subject only to the Constitution of the United States. Nothing is wanting but to secure the confidence of the people of all parties in the sincerity of the declared intentions of the Territorial Executive to carry out these principles in good faith, in order to induce the co-operation of all good men in the pending measures for adopting a State Constitution. The principles themselves can not fail to be acceptable to the sober judgment of the people, and I ardently hope, for the sake of the paramount inter ests involved, that the necessary confi dence will not be withheld. The deplorable events which have marked the history of the Territory up to this time, have doubtless left their natural results of enmity and heart-burnings among the people, as also upon the crimi nal records of the Territorial Courts. In dictments have been found against many of those who acted in a military capacity under the authority of the Territorial Government, for acts and excuses alleged to be wholly illegal and unjustifiable. On the other hand, similar prosecutions have bden instituted against those who resisted the Territorial authorities, and who under took to retaliate for the alleged wrongs committed against them. : It is my deliberate opinion, that in order to promote peace and harmony, and to secure the future repose of the people, there ought to be a general amnesty in reference to all these acts on both sides, which grew out of the political contest, and which were not corruptly and feloni ously committed for personal gain and to • gratify individual malignity. These meas ures, if adopted at all, ought to be gener ! ously, without any consideration of the ■ origin of the difficulty, or without question as to the party which may be responsible for the wrong. It will involve no con cession or advantage to either party, but will be merely an act of clemency, de signed to obliterate as far as possible, from the hearts of the people, all memory of the disastrous and lamentable contest ' which has heretofore desolated the un happy Territory. If it shall have the effect, though it may pardon some instances j of gross wrong and outrage, it will tend to ! calm the excited passions of the people, j and to prevent similar occurrences in the future. It wjll be a measure of concilia tion and peace, but will leave the people | free from apprehension in the future, so I they can securely devote themselveb to those important labors which are destined to make this Territory a great/prosperous Vnd happy State. FRED. P. STANTON, Secretary and Acting Governor, Lecompton, April 17. Trusting an Indian Chief; OR, CONFIDENCE RETURNED —A FACT. One of the first settlers in Western New York was Judge W., who established him self at Whitektown, about four miles from Utica. He brought his family with him, among whom was a widowed daughter with an only child, a fine boy of about four years old. You will recollect that the country around was an unbroken forest, and this was the domain of the savage tribes. Judge W. saw the necessity of keeping on good terms with the Indians, for as he was nearly alone, he was completely at their mercy. Accordingly, he took every opportunity to assure them of his kindly feelings and to secure their good will in return. Several of the ohiefs came to see him, and all appeared pacific. But there Was one thing that troubled him; an aged chief of the Seneca tribe, and one of great influence, who resided at a distance of six miles, had not yet been to see him; nor could he by any means ascertain the feel ings and views of the Sachem, in respect to his settlement in that region. At last he sent him a message, and the answer was, that the chief would visit him on the morrow. True to his appointment, the Sachem came. Judge W. received him with marks of respect, and introduced his wife, his daughter, and the little hoy. The inter view that followed, was deeply interesting. Upon its results, the Judge conceived his security might depend, and he was, there fore, exceedingly anxious to make a favor able impression upon the distinguished chief. He expressed to him his desire to settle in the country, to live on terms of amity and good fellowship with the Indi ans; to be useful to them by introducing among them the arts of civilization. The chief heard him out, and then said, “ Brother, you ask much and you promise much; what pledge can you give of your faith 1” “ The honor of a man that never knew deception,” was the roply. “ The white man’s word may be good to the white man, yet it is but wind when spoken to the Indian,” said the Sachem. “ I have put my life in your hands,” said the judge ; “is not this an evidence of my good intentions 1 I have placed confidence in the Indian, and I will not believe he will abuse or betray the trust that is thus reposed.” “ So much is well,” replied the chief; “the Indian will repay confidence ; if you trust him, he will trust you. But I must have a pledge. Let the boy go with me to my wigwam ; I will bring him back in three days with my answer.” If an arrow had pierced the bosom of the mother, she could not have felt a deeper pang than went to her heart as the Indian made this proposal. She sprang from her seat, and rushing to the boy who stood at the side of the Sachem, looking into his face with pleased wonder and admiration, she encircled him in her arms, and pressing him close to her breast, was about to fly from the room. A gloomy and ominous frown came over the Sachem’s'’ brow, but he did not speak. But not so with Judge W. He knew that the success of the enterprise, the very lives of the family depended on the decision of the' moment. “Stay, stay, my daugh “THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 12, 1857. ter!” said he. “ Bring back the boy, I beseech you. I would not risk a hair of his head. He is not more dear to you than me. ±sut, my child, he must go with the chief. God will watch over him. He will be as safe in the Sachem’s wig wam as beneath onr roof and in your arms. I shall not attempt to describe the ago ny of the mother for the three ensuing days. , She was agitated by contending hopes and fears. In the night she awoke from her sleep, seeming to hear the screams of her child calling upon its mother for help ! But the time wore away—and the third day came. How slowly did the hours pass ! The morning waned away ; noon arrived, and the afternoon was far advanc ed, yet the Sachem came not. There was gloom over the whole household. The mother was pale and silent, as if despair was settling coldly around her heart.— Judge W. walked to and fro, going every few minutes to the door, and looking through the opening in the forest towards the Sachem’s abode. At last, as the rays of the setting sun were the tops of the forest around, the eagle feathers of the chieftain were seen dancing above the bushes in the distance. . lie advanced rapidly and the littleioy was at his side. He was gaily attired as a young chief—his feet being dressed in moccasins, a fine /leaver skin was over his shoulders, and eagle’s feathers were stuck in his hair. He was in excel lent spirits, and so proud was he of his honors that he seemed two inches taller than before. He was soon in his mother’s arms ; and in that one brief moment she seemed to pass from death to life. It was a happy meeting—too happy for me to describe. “ The white man has conquered,” said the Sachem ; “ hereafter let us he friends. You have trusted the Indian; he will repay you with confidence and friendship.” He was as good as his word, and Judge IV. lived there many years, laying the foundation of a flourishing and prosperous community. Brigham Voung on Dress. In a sermon by Brigham Young, pub lished in i lie Deseret JVews of February 1, that worthy talked in the following strain : We have been experimenting. Five companies, I think, have come across the plains with hand-carts, and they have come a great deal cheaper, and better than other companies. I believe that if a company was to try it once with ox teams and once witli hand carts, every one of them would decide iu favor of the handcarts, unless they could ride more..and be more comfor table than people generally are with ox teams. I count the hand cart operation a successful one, and there is a lesson in it which people have overlooked. What is it ? Let me ask the sisters and brethren here what better off are you to-day than as though you had started with a bundle under your arm ! You Started with an abundance, but have you any oven, or wa gons, or trunks of valuable clothing or money ? “No.” W r hat have yon got ? A sister says, “I have the underclothes I wore on the plains, and a dress, and a handkerchief which I pinned over my head in the absence of my sunbonnet, which were worn out, and lam here.” Are you here? “l’es!” Do you feel bad ? “Oh! no, I feel pretty well.” Now reflect, what else do we want of you, and what else do you want of yourselves ? “Why,” says one “ I want a dress and a pair of shoes.” Well, go to work and earn them, and put them on and wear them. “I want a bon net.” Go to work and earn it, then wear it as you used to do. What do you want here but yourselves? Nothing but your selves and your religion, that is all you want to bring here. If you come naked and barefooted—l would not care if you had naught but a deer skin around you when you arrived here—and bring your god and your religion, you are a thousand times better than if you came with wagon loads of silver and gold, and left your God behind. If I wanted to take a wife from among the sisters who came in with the handcart trains, I would rather take one that had nothing, and say to her, “ I will throw a buckskin around you for the present ; I have plenty, or if I have not, I can get plenty.” Some want to marry a woman because she has got property ; some want a rich wife ; but I never saw the day when I would not rather have a poor woman. I never saw the day when I wanted to be henpecked to death, for I should have been, if I had married a rich wife. I asked one of my family, when in conversation upon this point, “What did you bring when you came to me V’ “I brought a shirt, and a dress', and a pair of slippers, and a sun-bonnet;” and she is as high a prize as I ever got in my life, and a great deal higher than many would have been with cartloads of silver and gold. The people are what we want. * * * * The Lord, in his providence, has shown you and me and the community of this Territory, and will show to the people in the old countries, if the elders are faithful, that they bid farewell to bringing their millions’ worth of goods here. If they bring anything, let them bring their sov ereigns here ; the gold will do them more good than anything else ; do not peddle it out in the world. Get the Lord to send an angel with you; get His Holy Spirit to travel with you in this place, and leave all trash behind. If the companies are com posed solely of young females, they may come by teus of thousands if they like, for I have never yet seen anything in this market that can equal the handcart girls. For the Intalligencer. DITHYBAMBIC BY THE GLADE BARD Oh, string once more thy harp, fair maid, And tune its silent chords again— That long have slept, unheard, unsung, And in oblivion dark have lain: And make our hills and vallies ring, Once more with strains harmoniously ; And sweetly will the ohantings blend, O’er all our plains and woodlands free. Bright eyes will grow more brighter then, Sweet cheeks will grow more Bweeter too ; And many hearts will join the strain, In gushing songs of love, to you. Gladly will dance light fairy feet, And buoyant forms will .whirl with glee ; And manly hearts will swell with love, And adoration, meet for thee. Then string anew, thy woodland harp, Its mellow notes we long to hear, And let the strains mellifluent— Delight again the heart and ear. New Pbovidbhos, 1857. Cromwell, William XU, and Wash ington. BY GUIZOT. During his exile in England in 1848, the ex-Premier of France beguiled his weari ness, by composing a Treatise on the suc cess attending the English and American Revolutions. It was intended to explain the reason why the Anglo-Saxon had triumphed iu his rebellious experiments, while the Gaul and Celt had failed. The work has been published in London, and well received.— It is somewhat disfigured by the ex-minis ter’s well known royal predilections. We quote the following passage which cannot fail to be interesting to the American rea der. With all his philosoph/'Guizot has not been able to overome his innate love for ‘ divine right,’ that superstitious rock upon which so many fine intellects have struck : “ Three great men, Cromwell, William 111., and Washington remain in history as the leaders and the representatives of. these critical occurrences winch decided the fate of two great nations. For extent and energy of natural talents, Cromwell is, perhaps, the most remarkable of the three. His mind was marvellously prompt, firm, suple, inventive and perspicacious ; j he possessed a vigor of character which no , obstacle could discourage, and no conflict j could tire. He pursued his plans with an ardor aB inexhaustable as his patience, travelling sometimes by the longest and most .circuitous roads, sometimes by the shortest and most preoipitous path. He excelled equally in gaining and ruling men in personal and familiar intercourse ; and he was equally skilled in organizing and conducting an army or a party. He had the instinct of popularity and the gift of authority, and was able, with the same business, to let loose or to quell factions. But born in the midst of a revolution, and carried by successive convulsions on to supreme power, his genius was by nature, and always remained, essentially revolu tionary ; he had learned to understand the necessity of order and government, but he was unable either to respect or practise moral and permanent laws. In conse quence of the defectiveness of hi 3 nature, or the viciousness of his situation, he want ed regularity and serenity in the exercise of power; and immediate recourse to ex treme measures, like a man continually assailed by moral dangers; and perpetuated or aggravated, by the violence of his rem edies, the violent evils that he wished to cure. The foundation of a government is a task that requires proceedings of a more regular character, and more in conformity to the eternal laws of moral order. Crom well was able to subdue the revolution that he had made, but he could not succeed in establishing it. “ Less powerful, perhaps, than Crom well, by natural gifts, William 111., and Washington succeeded in the enterprise in which he failed ; they fixed the destiny and established the government of their coun try. This may be accounted for by the fact that, even in the midst of a revolution, they never accepted nor practised a revo lutionary policy ; they never were placed in the fatal situation of having at first an archical violence as a stepping-stone, and then despotic violence as a necessity of their power. They found themselves placed, or else placed themselves, at the very outset, in the regular way, and under tho permanent conditions of government. “ William was an ambitious prince ; it is puerile to believe that, until the appeal was made to him in 1688, he had remained free from all desire of ascending the throne of England, and ignorant of the schemes which had’ long been on foot for raising him to it. William followed step by step the progress of the scheme, without taking apparently any part in it; without discoun tenancing it ; giving its authors no encour agement, but affording them all the pro tection in his power. His ambition had also the characteristic of being associated with the triumph of a great and just cause —the cause of religious liberty and of the European balance of power. No man ever made a great political design more thor oughly the idea and exclusive objeot of life than William did. He was ardently devoted to the work which he was accom plishing, and he considered his own ag grandisement as merely a means to that end. In his designs upon the crown of England he did not attempt to succeed by violence or disorder; his mind was too lofty and too well regulated to be ignorant of the incurable viciousness of such success, and to submit to its yoke. But when the career was opened to him by England her self, he gave no more heed to the scruples of the private individual; he was anxious that his cause should triumph, and that he should receive the honor of the triumph. “ A glorious mixture of ability and of faith, of ambition and devotedness. Wash ington had no ambition ; his country had need of him ; he became great to save her, from duty rather than from choice, and sometimes even with a painful effort. His experiences of public life were bitter, and he prefered the independence of private life and the repose of the mind to the ex ercise of power. But he unhesitatingly accepted the task imposed upon him by his country, and, in performing it, he al lowed no concessions to be made, either towards his country or himself, for the purpose of lightening its bnrden. Born to govern, though he took no pleasure in it, he told the American people what he thought was the truth, and maintained in governing them, what he thought was wise, with a simple but immovable firmness, and a sacrifice of popularity, which was all the more meritorious because it was not com pensated by the joys of dominion. The servant of a nascent republic, in which the democratic spirit prevailed, he obtained its confidence and secured its triumph by sus taining its interests against its inclinations, and by practising that modest and severe, reserved and independent policy, seems to belong only to the leader of an aristo cratic senate placed at the head of an ancient state. His sucoess was remarka able, and did equal honor to Washington and to his country.

They extend from North Hast and North West, through the middle of the State, to the extreme South, and include every variety of climate and productions found between those parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves, and iu the middle ami Southern sections tim ber predominates, alternating with beautiful prairies aod openings.
