Am "Wis Washing ),,
No clouds our cause now overcast,
Our hopes have risen high,
For we have found a man at last,
Who'll blow the coons sky high,
With .lames K. Polk of Tennessee,
Voting Hickory, ns they say,
We'll beat that Federal nominee,
Upon the voting day,
So 'tis march, march, drum, drum,
Shout, shout, away.
For all the folk will co for Polk,
I'pon the Voting Day.
We now shall make a glorious fight,
Ai the foils will soon tiiskiver,
With Truth and Justice, Law and Right,
We'll row them up Salt River.
One fact the whigjjies can't mistake,
One truth they can't gainsay,
That Polk, the stake, is sure to take,
Upon the Voting Day.
So 'tis march, march, drum, drum,
March, march away ;
For all the folk will go for Tolk,
Upon the Voting L'ay.
Old Harry Clay, the people say,
Is sure to bo defeated,
They never can forget the way
Old Hickory was cheated.
All men can tell, where'er they dwell,
In pnlaca or in cottage,
That Hurry then, his vote did sell,
Like Esau, for his "pottage."
Hut march, march, drum, drum,
March, march away.
We'll wipe the stain, away again,
L'pon the Voting Day
Two tones now issue from his mouth,
Upon tin; tarilTipiestion,
Free Trade's his watrhwotd at thu South,
And at the North Protection.
He's different things to different men,
With soldiers juates of battles,
With speculators wields his pen,
To children talks of rattles
Hut march, march, drum, drum,
March, march away.
This is no co as we shall show,
Upon the Voting Day.
With nabobs he will drink champagne,
With woiking men hard cider,
And Pat your tilly on the mane,
In hopes he may bestride her.
He'll praise a beggars's ragged coat,
Find beauty in a hovel !
And seek to buy the poor man's vote,
l'.y lending him a shovel !
Oh, lie, fie, shame, shame,
Vou know it, Hurry Clay,
That this is only going to lust
Until the Voting Day.
Voung Hickory then our watchword be,
On mountain and in valley,
Till every liiend of Liberty
Around his nuiiie shall rally
The Whigs may swing, or feust, or fast,
Till next November moon,
'Twill only end in this at last.
We'll skin that same old Toon
So 'tis march, march, drum, drmr.,

For all the folk, will go for Poik

A LETTER PROM MISS MAUTI.NEAV.
Vour interest in this Lowell book can scarce

cotton nii'ls ot Wnltlmtn, and made myself fa
miliar on the npnt with factory life in New
F.ngland ; so that in reading the "OfTeriiig," I

which is their property, and the girls them
selves trooping totho mill, with their health
fill cntintennnccs, and their netit dress and qui

class of our country. My visit to Lowell was
merely for one day, in company with Mr, Em
erson's party, he (the pride nml boast of New
Lnglfitul as an aulhor and philosopher) being
engaged by the Iuvell factory people to lec
ture '.o them, in a winter course of historical
biography. Of course the lectures were de
livered in the evening, after Ihe mill were
closed. The girls were then working seventy
hours a week, yet, as I looked at the large au

lecture) Isawnostgn of weariness among any ! without release from the debt, hod gone to

more clastic spring of vigor and cheerfulness,
than evt n an active and cultivated underpin in),

brrught case of heart to many; and lo many
occasion for noble nnd generous deeds. The
ease of heart is given to those who were before
sulk-ring in silent poverty, from the deficiency
of profitable employment for women, w hich i
even greater in America than with us. It
used to bo understood there that all women
w ere maintained by the men of their families ;
but the young men of New England are apt lo
troop idl into tho W est, to settle in new lands,
leaving risters at home. Nome few return to
fetch a wife, but the gieater number do not,
and iluu a vast over proportion of young women
remains ; uud to a multitude of these the open

there is no npp.al but to force, the vit.,1 p,i, i(1..

noble deeds, it makes one's henrt glow to stand

of some who are working before one's eyes un
conscious of being observed or of buing the ob
ject of any admiration.
If one of the sons of a New Englnnd fanner
shows a lovo for books and thought, the ambi
tion of an affectionate sister is roused, and she
think i of the glory anil honor to the whole fa
mily, nnd the blessing to him, if lie could have
a college education. She ponders tin till
she tells her parents s ime day, of her wish to

her brother to college- The desire is yet leore

The following noticoofa new and remarka
b'o work now in the press, by that erudite bihli-
"In the fi)ithcoini:ig Volume, he proposes tj
bring to th lost nf reason and revelation the be-
in our present bodies throws no inseparable lur
in the way of the resurrection of the sumo lo
diet, inasmuch ns the very idea of srim"tirs. w
precluded by the ecnnt scent nature of thu mi
jert. The conceded fact, moreover, that the con
stituent elements nf our Indies nre incessantly
pns-ing into new and multifarious Combinations,
animal and vegetable, presents another objec
tion, which he affirms though open urged Ion
never been answered. The difficulty I es i;i
establishing n conceivable relation b'-t iveen tiia
body tlint dies and the body that is raised. This,
ho maintains, in the common view is impns-i-

his own theory, which is that of the elimination
at death of a spiritual lioiy by a iiatnral law, rs
truly ns the butterfly js ('cvr loped from th
chrysalis of the caterpillar. The transition
from the one orgnniretion to the other consti
tutes the essential truth of the resurreclbn,
which cannot possibly be viewed npnrt from
the vital processes.
Thus fur the rational argument. Trof. R.
then proceeds to the ecriptural testimony ; and
here the learned author is completely nt home.
He contends, in the first place, tl,Rt the term
"resurrection" itself, rightly interpreted, c m
I veys no intiuntion of the rocivs' of i'io d'-.d ho
i dy, but iiiiii -.,i'v the ereut fhrt ..f future lilo.ot'
i immortality ; and then enters upon an exten
ded critical examination of nil the impi r'ant
passages in the Old and New Testament tof.ch
j mg nnon the d ictrine in question. The grand
. result to which he aims is, that the revelation
