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.”

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.
