The .suggestions of severe prudence may
fur the moment, be the less controlling,
but it is well, that once in every year, full
latitude be given to the impulses that gush
out. and the generous ardor that glows,
for the firm establishment of constitutional
liberty, throughout the world. It is well
that wc rewmt the Pftcrilrcs, at which

which my father was n original member
There is no longer hope of meeting the

i am toia mat some or the negroes on
there boats are free, and that others are
slaves hired out to the steamboat compa-

T ..... .
tJiat'.'iguiuli the slave from the freeman ;
ali appear to enjoy tbe "largest liberty."
The waiters are quiet, industrious, res
pectful, and attentive j but the firemen,
that inhabit the Plutonic regions "away
down below," are certainly the merriest,
drollest, jollirst rrt of fellows I ever saw.
Seme of the firemen, I am sorry to add,
are awfully profane; but their jests and
witticisms, their songs ami dances, seem
to be their life, day ami night ; and how,
when, or vt here they get their rest, is more
than I ran tell. The last Sound One hears
at night, and the first at break-of day, is
the merry peal of their stentorian voices.
You are lulled to sleep by their melodies;
you awako with the sounds still ringing
in your ears.
In listening to the vocal performances
of one of the waiters on a boat in which
I performed a recent trip from Louisville
to St. Louis, I was struck not only with
his fine voice which was really clear and
sonorous but also with poetical genius,
lie improvised his poetry, or, to use Lis
own expression, he "made up his verges
as he weut along." The theme on the
present occasion, was the steamboat in

merits of the beautiful Cornelia .her ex
celleut ajcotnnio lations, Ler great speed,
and her superiority over all her rivals on
tLe Western waters; always managing to
work in an "invitation" to all travelers to
"come on board." One of Lis songs was
as follows :

As a specimen of spontaneous, unhewn
poetry, I think the above should rank
high. That fearful interrogative in the
last two lines of thc first verse,
" Put what will ffhej..

is pregnant with meaning, atid can be in
terpreted as many different ways as a

all sing the same part, and that, of course,

and stifling up tho great fires, and clo
sing the heavy furnace doors with an im
mense iron "long pole," one of the com
pany turns his shiny face to bis comrade?,
arid with a tremendous Open countenance,
strikes up a sort of solo, fiti libitum, with
variations adapted to bis taste or vocal
powers, at tbe conclusion of which the

There they go, now, caroling a strange

Here is another refrain, of rather less
poetical pretensions ; but it was given
with a moro grinning, shiny countenance,
which could not be withstood, even by
Horace Grcelv-

This song brought thc " 'baccer," as 1
am told it invariably docs. I could not
withstand the appeal, but hastened to the
saloon, purchased a roll of the " iuvigora-
tor," as they call it out here,- weut back
and supplied uiy cutertainers with tobacco
enough for the night, and immediately
retired, to escape their profuse thauks.
As I left their precincts, they struck up a
farewell song, something like (he follow
ing, as near nn I ran remember. 1 hope
the feadcf will objerv the appropriateness
of the invocation. Tbe bursting of boilers
is an "ordinary occurrence or the Missis

- Scott's Foreign Policy.
It is an honorable fact that our best
Generals such as Washington, Jacksou,
Harrison, and Taylor most dreaded, and
took most paius to avoid as farag possible,
all bloodshed. . (Jen. Scott's views have
been long on record, written by him for
an Album, as follows :
"I'EACE AND WAR.
"If war be the natural state of savage
tribes, peace is the first waut of every civ
ilized community. War no doubt is, un
der any circumstances, a great calamity ;
yet submission to outrage would often be
a greater calamity; Of the two parties to
any war, one, at least, must be in the
wrong not uufrequently, both. An error
in such an issue is, on the part of chief
magistrates, ministers of state, aud legis
lators having a Voice in the question, a
crime of the greatest magnitude. The
slaying of an individual by an individual
is, iu comparative guilt, but a drop of
blood. Ileuee the highest moral obliga
tion to treat national differences with tem
per, justice, and fairness; always to see
that the cause of war is not only iW, but
tiijjlcivut ; to lc sure that we do not foref'had so often
our neignbor a lauds, ' nor any thing that is

mand explanation, apology, iuJcinuity, in
short, we should especially remember, ' all
thiugs whatsoever ye would that men sho'd
do to you, do ye even so to them.' This
divine precept is of universal obligation :
it is as applicable to rulers, in their trans-
individuals in their daily intercourse with
each other. Power is intrusted by ' the

Author of peace and lover of concord,' to
do good and to avoid evil. Such,, clearly,
is the revealed will of God.
