Look at.her iu her corner there.
Her head i white as stur.
The last leaf of lhe e.iod oil tree
V eaa not leave her so.
In this o'd mans:on was she born.
Her ji vs and griefs were here:
Huw well she loved and nured us all
Through mar.v a chancms year !

She was the playmate of them both.
Some filiy years aso

Would break her h&rt, 1 know.
When the oil soldier parcelled out

Aunt Hannah he woud give to none,
He gave her to us all.
We laid his good sword on his breast,

Wti'st old Aunt Hannah knelt in tears
Ah! Tom! we can nut go!
Her failing sands will soon be out.
The kindly ange! come.

To our ereat Master's H"ine.
And when we've marked her simple grave,
And dropped a tear or so.
We'll nrn the ashes of the past.

Svzi Exgugh ! A visitor in our town,
recently, said be bad, on Sunday, observ- j
ed the ladies attending chnrcb, and was I
astonished at the manner in which they '
used their finest silk and other dresses to
sweep up the cigar-stutEps, quids, ic,
aloDg the pavements a filthy and waste
ful habit, but be wondered they were so
mid witb fashion as to follow it, and that
E iitors did not lash, argue, or shame them
isto the use of plain and modest fabrics
fir garments, and to keep them neat and
detent Such extravagance and wasteful
ness he thought wicked, and that it must
result in many bankruptcies.
As he concluded bis very just and per
tinent criticism, be ejected a disgusting
ttew of tobacco from bis fetid mouth, in
1 -t and in danger of being stepped upon.
Us was asked if the n,e of tob.ee.o-.hon
looked at sensibly and ealmlv-was not as !
cced, as wasteful, as wanton, as effen-
r.ve, and as ruinous, as tbe ladies making
a mop of their fine clothes. He "confess
ed the maize."
We remarked that we had tried our pa-
per batteries at both setu of sinners, with ;
about equal effeet on each, and that we '
despaired of anything but Fashion's over- i

; a aangcrous poinicai neresy, ai variance wun
tbe explicit provisions of that instrument it
self, with contemporaneous exposition, and
with legislative and todicial precedent, is rev
olutionary in its tendency, and subversive of
the peace and harmony of Ihe country.
8. That the normal condition of all the Ter
ritory of the United Slates is that of Freedom:
thai as onr republican fathers, when they had
abolished Slavery in all our national territo
ry, ordained that no person should be depri
ved of life, liberty, or property, without doe
process of law, it becomes car duty, by leeis
lalion, whenever such legislation is necessa
ry, to maintain this provision of the Constitu
tion against all attempts to violate it; and we
deny ihe authority of Congress, of a Territo
rial Legislature, or of any individuals, to give
legal existence to Slavery in any Territory of
the United States.
9. That we brand the recent re-cpening of
the African slave-trade, under the cover of

a burning shame to our country and age, and
; we call upon Congress to take prompt and ef-
Federal Governors, of lhe acts of lhe I.eeisla-
lures of Kansas and Nebraska prohibiting
Slavery in those J emtt rics, we find a pracn
cal illustration of lhe boasted Democratic
principle of non-intervention and Popular
Sovereignty embodied in the Kansas and
Nebraska bill, and a denunciation of the de
ception and fraud involved therein.
1 1. That Kansas should of right be imme
diate!? admitted, as a State, under the Const!-
tution recently formed and adopted by her

the development of the Industrial interests of
the whole country, and we commend that

of the United States decided ia the Dred

with him into the Territory any article of
property vhich the Constitution of the L'ni
tol States reerynfse as property."
4th. "7Ae Constitution of the United

Ia his personal habits, Lincoln is as
simple as a child. He drinks no intoxi-
eatmg liquors of any sort, not even wine.
He docs not use tobacco in any shape. He
never uses profane language nor indulges
in games of chance nor incurs debts
when he bss not the means to pay and,
at the present time owes no man a dollar.
There are few public men, we tbiuk, who
