And we hail from -Susquehanna,
A new town among the hills.'
We're a little band of singers,
We're a little band'of singers,
We're a little band of singers,
That have rallied here to-day ;
With some plain old-fashioned music,
With some plain,old-fashioned music,
With some plain old-fashioned.music,
Of the "old granite State." •
Th i e election's just beforo no,
We're to choose a ruler o'er us,
'hen raise the enlivening chorus,
And our candidates discuss.
The Whigs are up and doing, -
All their wily schemes pursuing,
So to giro them a reviewing,
Is a labor now of lore
Nested drams, with warlike thunder,
That may make the groundlings wonder;
And the Democrats knock under ; -
Is the game of Whiggery now.
But if History we examine,
War pestilence and famine,"
Before this martial gammon,
Was their•leader's shout of old. •
Genera Jackson beat so handy,
That crab regimental dandy,
Eveame at once a grandee,
Amongst the belle Whigs.

E4erienee !—defame it ;
Fan Webster musn't claim it
-Availability" they set*. •
Rirem harbors and the Tariff,
They propuee to take great care of; •
But its all to get a share of,
The - loaves and fishes" of the land
To b-iiger Scotes ambition,
See then fanning abolition,
And without the least contrition,
The Union sacrifice.
Hear Horace preach long sermons,
Tolls. Irishmen and Germans, •
Aod old Thinlow utter firmans,
FAA icreigner to win.
They forget Scott's " inclination,"
And i:l3 ". fiery declaration,"
Tau would lengthen their probation,
To twenty years or more.

But the Whigs his efforts haltered'.
And the share is all their oWn;

And in every proper manner,
Yield credit where 'tis due.

Ardilt facie I—we'll ever. prize it,

Fat ro President !--exense us,

Oar principles refuse us,
To join Seward and his elan.
They may c:der or may rum it—

Act IV, Seeno
We commence to-day, the publication of
one of the most interesting stories we ever
read. It
e riginally appeared in •the Dublin
Magazine, and from thence, was 'transferred,
to LiUle's Living Ag 4 -, by, the .judicioniv. and
able editor of that valuable yeriodical. ft des l
lineates; with remarkable and wenderful'truth'
and fidelity, all the passions of our "natures,';
but more especially that of avarice, ,the bane,
and curse, and plag,ue-sPet of human existence.
The leading ch.ameter in it, is an Irish far
mer, who, after havingpas r .sed many years in
the wedded state, withbut issuo-:-without the
hope of offspring, unexpectedly finds his wife
in a state of pregnancy:' In his earlier days,
Fardorougha—the farmer, hnsband,and miser
had anxiously hoped that the Almighty would
bless his bed with offspring, - •
.sweet as their mother's beauty
I bet, as his hopes were not gratified, hegradu.
ally suffered the affairs Of this world to abscirb
his affections, to lead him to the worship of
gold and " filthy lucre: ) . And, such is almost
universally the case, when young love is not i
rewarded with those fruits for which it hopes,l
and sighs, only to he disappointed. - It was
ordained that: l : Mlm should worship some earth
ly object. the human beart cannot aist, tm
less it possesses 'some idol to be worshipped.
Fardorougha, the miser, at the time his wife
was found in an interesting condition, was not
solicitous of offspring. fie Imdabandored the
hope of ever having a child-to rise up and
bless him and, therefo4, regarded the advent
of an heir as an evil—a:positive approaching
burden. - '
i The story opens, Most heautifullyd graph

I iom of Ireland, is none i the less el quent---
The scenes presented Mu, drawn, 1 ith -- floe
quailed ability; each character stun before
the reader in bold rellef , ;- and he h Ids, with
them immediate and direct common n. The
moral of the story is most excellent. - It warns
us against the %lees of avarice; and eads the
in
heart to the rejection of every thing eatrand
sordid. . , ' -
