I am alone amid thy tone,
Bold stream of might and pride!
I hear thy roar around me pour
Its echoes far and wide!
Above me, thy rude crags are piled,
In thassive grandeur, stern and wild
While o'er thy bed dark, deep and broad
The rainbow bends—the smile of God !
Agee have roll'd and Time grown old,
And empires passed away,
Since thou didat burst, from Chaos first,
Into the light of day ;
Yet 'mid the wreck that's wrought by time
Thou mighty, absolute, sublime,
In frowning majesty dog tower,
Proud emblem of thy maker's power !

Above thy foaming bed,

Of these old rocks to tread :
Away ! all trivial things of Earth !

Be strong, my spirit, God is here!
His mighty hand the whole bath planned---
His strength theie rock. hath piled—

His finger stretched that bow above,—
That graceful arch—his smile of love—
His voice--the thinder of this roar,—
His presence speak they evermore!

Mark the golden grains that pass
Brightly through this chrystal glass,
Measuring by their ceaseless fall
Heaven's most precious gift to all.
Pauseless, till the sand be done,
See the silent current run,
Till its inward treasure shed
When another hour is fled :
Its task performed, its travel past,
Like mortal man it rests al last.
Yet, let some hand invert its frame
And all its powers icturri the same;
For all the golden grams remain
To work their little hour again.
But who shall turn the glass for man,
From which the golden currant ran;
'Collect again the precious sand
Which time has scattered with his hand ;
Bring back life's stream with vital power
And bid it run ANOTHER HOUR
A thousand years of toil were vain
To gather up one single grain.

And trembling still for thee,
And as they quiver, ere they break,
Thy soul shall fuel for me.
Go with them when they bear me out
And lay me down to rest,
Then leave me in my lonelines—

An Address
To the People of Huntingdon County.
FELLow
The coming election will be an
important crisis In the political transactions of our
county; and one in which the people must either
awake to a sense of their own interest, or ignobly
submit to be ruled by the wiles and stratagems of a
selfish faction. It is well known that the Whig
and Democratic parties, at their late Cdnventions,
have nominated candidates for our suffrages this
fall; and we are again called on to rank ourselves
under our respective bannera. But our reason dic
tates that we have long enough been whipped into
the party harness, regardless of our home-interest;
and too long contended blindly for names, instead
of realities—for men and not principles.
It is time then, we think, to arousi, from our
slumbers, and rid ourselves from party thraldom, at
least in our county elections. No more favorable
occasion could be desired, than the presefit, for such
action. For momentous State and National ques
tions are so settled that it matters but little what
party possesses the majority in the next Legisla
ture. Our Congressmen will be instructed to sus
tain the Tariff of 1842; the credit of the State stir
farther redeemed; our school-system supported; and
our internal improvements regulated equally well
by men of every political creed in Pennsylvania.
Local questions must occupy the deliberations of
its ensuing session, and among them will bike
proposed division of Huntingdon county. This is
certainly the proper opportunity to ascertain fairly
the will of the people on the proposition. The
true issue at stake is not whether Whiggery or
Democracy shall triumph, but whether we shall
have the contemplated division or no division;
whether the county shall be carved up to fill the
pockets of a few to the great detriment of the ma
ny; or whether taxes shall be added to taxes al
ready almost insupportable. These the people this
fall must either assent to, or indignantly reject
them.
The contrivers of this measure have, for several
years, succeeded in preventing popular action on it,
by the foulest of intrigue. For they have annually
obtained a representative by threatening the defeat
of the predominant party, if it did not yield to their
demands. This year they have not only taken the
same preparatory step to secure one advocate for
this idol of their hearts, but have devised a scheme
to elect two men favorable to division. Who, that
will carefully scrutinize the recent nominations, can
fail to perceive a treacherous design lurking be
neath them*? The dullest of observers must see
that if Meagre. Brewster and M'Murtrie are suc
cessful, the friends of division will stand where they
did last year; or if Messrs. H. 1,. Patterson and
A. Gwin, supposing the latter an anti-divison man,
aro elected still they aro secure. Bnt it is certain
that Mr. Gwin is a wolf in sheep'. clothing.
Should these men be chosen, the whole representa
tion would be in favor of the division. Another
alternative is still left the division plotters. Sup
pose the Whigs a n d Democrats of the lower end
unsuspectingly cast their votes for the party tickets.
May not those of the upper end unite on Messrs.
IM'Murtrie and H. L. Patterson and thus bring
about the same unfair result? What more subtle
plan could have been originated by the most adroit
political gamblers to cheat those who are not accus
tomed to analyze the intentions of men. For,
whatever way the die is cast, the division-faction
cannot be worsted. No matter what combination
or amalgamation of tickets takes place at the pone,
that sneaking, under-handed clique is still safe.
It has every thing to gain and nothing to lose.
Will you then, fellow-citizens, be so basely
duped? Are you going to be driven on by the
party goad pellmell to consummate this darling
scheme of an interested few, inattentive to your
own welfare. Look before you leap, lest you
plunge into the dark. Think before you act, lest
you involve yourselves in inextricable difficulties.
Let not the crafty and interested 'trammel up the
consequence" of the measure. Ask whet is to be
gained in the event, Will division, suppose it ef
fected, remove or even diritinish taxation in the
least? How is it possible? A Court and the same
number of county officers will have to be maintain
ed in each section; and State taxes paid as usual.
The inevitable result will be an increaee of our
present oppressive burdens. There will be more
taxes and fewer people to pay them. And on
whom are these to be assessed? Not on the pro
fessional man, for his peculiar situation exempts
him—nor on the capitalist, since he can readily
transfer them to those whom poverty has plated in
his power. The laboring community must ulti
mately, as ever, bear the incumbrances. And shall
they unconsciously load themselves with more
grievous manicles?
But they tell us that there is too much law busi
ness in the county to be transacted by one Court,
and hence justice is delayed. Give us another tri
bunal, it will be more prompt and batter adminis
tered. This is all a vain chimera. Our judiciary
system itself is rotten to the care, and it is worse
than folly to think to improve it by its extension.
The experience of more than fifty years has de
monstrated its insufficiency to answer the ends of
justice and equity. It must be reformed—nay
rather annihilated, and a wiser one formed. An
increase of County Courts cannot amend it: It
can effect it no more than create new arenas for
law Intrigue and chicanery; and increase the host
of men, in the community, who live by entrapping
their fellow citizen. in the snares of law, which the
daft}, of centuries have invented. Let the number
of Courts rather be diminished, and justice-courts
instituted, es in some of our sister States, if our
Constitution permits; and if not, let it he amended,
to decide the majority of cases Immediately, when
the evidence is clear and definite, instead of post
poning them front court to court till it grows vague
and doubtful. Let the immutable principles of
right and wrong, almost universally comprehended,
and not the false maxims and unjust decisions of
our barbarous forefathers, he low. Far it is most
absurd for an enlightened ago to regard the off
spring of intellectual darkness as the canon of jus
tice. We should discard and not cling to the er
rors of the past. As long as these are appealed to
as the infallible guides of courts, just so long will
justice necessarily be delayed and injustice in the
end too often tluccessful. .
Division cannot generally enhance the value of
real estate, or improve the markets. If taxes are
increased or even remain the same, the value of
property will vary but little. Our markets change
With those of our great Commercial markets and
hence cannel be sensibly altered by creating
•
more County-towns.
Where tllen will be the advantage of that mea
sure? Who is to be benefitted by it? Perhape,
the owneta of lots and houses in the new shire•
town may be enriched. Public meetings and
Courts may add to the yearly income of the tavern
keeper or runweller—the merchants custom—and
the practice of the lawyer and doctor. But will
the toiling thousands, who labor in the fields,woods
mines and workshops In the heat of summer and
the inclemency of winter, have their condition im
proved in the least? By no means. No such
generous design was intended try its divisors.—
Office-seekers and moneY grovellers are too solici
tous for their own interest to be concerned about
those, who make havoc of their bones and sinews
in subjugating the hills and vales to cultivation—
to extracting the rich treasures of nature from the
bowels of the earth—and afterwards rendering
them eubservient to the wants of man.
The time has arrived when those, who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brows, should manfully
refuse to be ridden rough-shod by a pampered few ;
and trample on schemes concocted for local instead
of general prosperity. If the majority of the cit
izens of "Old Huntingdon" desire its division let
them say so at the ballot-box,—for it is the mouth
piece of the people. We ask no favors from the
people of Hollidaysburg, and its vicinity, but we
demand that our right of suffrage, bought by the
blood of the Revolution and consecrated by more
than half a century of its uninterrupted exercise,
shall be untrammeled. Under present circumstan
ces we are denied that privilege. And we are re
duced to the unpleasant alternative, either to be alt.
sent from the polls, or vote for men, whose princi
ples of State and National policy are synonymous
with our own, yet pledged to support a measure
directly, as we firmly believe, at variance with our
own interest and the good of the community in
general. We only ask division men to rally around
their own standard, and we will stand by ours, for
we are tired of fighting under mongrel colors.
To extricate ourselves front this difficulty, and
afford an opportunity, for a clear and unbiased ex
pression of the peoples will we have risen in rebell
ion to our party tickets. And we call upon you,
Fellow Citizens, for once to bury the party hatchet—
to fling away the petty animosity, engendered by a
conflict of political opinions, and act in concert for
your welfare. The division of your county is a
matter of vital importance now; other questions
are of minor consideration. On this let your votes
be prO and con. And which ever way it may be
decided let the minority quietly submit to the ma
jority for that is the spirit of republicanism.

Namur FROM THE KING OF POUSSIA TO ETON

Majesty the King of Pruseia to Eton College, a
shots time !ince, was exhibited to the Provost's its.
tniguished visitors oh Monday lasi, while they were
assembled in the library previously to the grand
banquest in the hall of the roller. This curious I
work, which is in large folio, and beautifully prin
ted on vellum, containing 156 pages, is magnifi
cently bound in purple velvet, inlain with massive
ornaments of solid gold and of curious and elalo
rate
workmanship. This royal present to the col
lege authorities is described in the letter which ac
companied it from his Excellency the Prussian
Minister as being one of the only two copies on
vellum of the edition of the .ICiebelengen' in
great folio struck oft as a monument of typography
at the centenary festival of Guttembur,ea invention
in one hundred copies only. The two on vellum
were struck off for the King and Queen of Prussia.'
The copy intended for the King of Prussia was
presented by his Majesty to Eaton College, and the .
other copy has been placed in the royal library at
the Palace of Berlin. The following is a transla
tion of the German inscription on the first leaf of
the book, in the handwriting of the Prussian So
vereign:—" To Eton School—The guardian of the
hope of the rising generation, the promoter of all
that is good and noble, the preserver of old Saxon

and in gratitude for his affectionate reception, by

Berlin, inn° 18, 1844:
Several years ago there was a young English no

Love by Telegraph.
The telegraph, it is said, is used, at the pri,rnt
time, for the consumation of quite and extra-ordi
nary business transaction. A gentleman of this
city, as the story runs, and a beautiful heiress in
Baltimore, whom he likes better than himself, not
caring to have their sentiments tumbled about in
the mall and post office, have substituted otie letter
of the alphabet, as expressed by the telegraph, for
another—wholly different from Morse's—which is
unintelligible, not only to the rest of the world, but

Washington Loved his Mother
Immediately after the organization of the presunt
government, General Washington repaired to Fre
dericksburg, to pay his litimb!e duty to his mother
prZparatory to his departure to New York. An af
fecting scene ensued. The son feelingly remarked
the ravages which a tottering disease had made
uPon the aged frame of his mother, and thus ad
diessed her .
."rhe people, madam, have been pleased, with
:he most flattering unanimity, to elect me to the
chief magistracy of the l'iiited Mates, but before
I can assume the functions of that office, I hare
came to bid you an allechonate farewell. to soon
as the public business, which must necessarily be
encountered in arranging a new governthent, can
be disposed Of, I shall hasten to Virginia, and"—
Here the matron interrupted him. .. You will
see me no more. My great age, and the disease
that is fast approaching my vitals, warn me that I
shall not be long in this world'. I trust in God, I
am somewhat prepared for a better. But go,
George, fulfil the high deitiniea which Heaven ap
pears to assign to you ; go my eon ; and may that
Heaven's and your mother's blessing be with you
always."
The President was deeply affected. Hie head
rested upon the shoulder of his parent, whose aged
arm feebly, yet fondly encircled his neck. That
brow, on which fame had wreathed the purest lau
rel virtue ever gave to created man, relaxed from its
lofty bearing. That look which could have awed
a Roman Senate, in its Fabrician day, was bent in
filial tenderness upon the time-worn features of this
venerable matron.
The great man wept. A thousand recollections
crowded upon his mind, as memory, retracing
scenes long past, carried him back to his paternal
mansion, and the days of . hls youth; and there the
centre of attraction was his mother, whole care,
instruction and discipline, hna prepared him te'reach
the topmost height of laudable ambition; yot how
were his glories forgotten while he gazed upon her
from whom, wasted by tic and malady, he must
soon port to meet no more.
The Matron's predictiond were true. The dis
ease which had so long preyed upon her frame,
completed its trinmph, and she expired at the ago
of 85, confiding in the promises of immortality to
the hninble believer.
Remember this story, little children. Washing
ton, you know was a great man. I shall never ex
pect to see any little boy become a great man whd
does not love his mother.
SIMPLICITT.—The more I see of the world, the
more I am satisfied that simplicity is inseparably
the companion of true greatness. I never yet
knew a truly great man—a man that overtopped
his fellow•men—who did not possess a certain play
(Ulf almost infantile simplicity. True greatneis
never struts or stilts, or plays the king upon the
stage. Conscious of its elevation, and knowing in
what that elevation consist., it is happy to act its
part like other men, in the common amusements
and business of mankind. It is not afraid of being
undervalued for its humlaty.—Paufrling,

From the Pittsburg' American
Cure for a Foundered 1-lorse
A correspondent of the Louisville' Journal says,
that if a horse is foundered over night; he' may be
cured in three hours if it is ataended to in the nt,.
ning. Take a pir.t of hog's lard and heat it boil-
ing hot, and alter cleaning his hoof well, taking oti
his shoe; put tin font in the lord, and with a spoon'
apply it to all parts of the hoof, as near the hair as
possible. This he says, hobs tried for More than fifty
veara, and never knew it to fail. The application'
should he an the foot of each foundered limb.'
As the founder is a high fever, pervading the
blood throughout the whole body to the tips of the
hair on his mane, the hogs fat in which the foot is
!roiled eon effect but'apartiel cure. A more
dri•ctive, more rational and ceitain one is by imme-
.11,ite and copious bleeding at the mouth. If stiff
ness continues, apply the lancet to the neck and
limbs. We have bled a badly foundered horse,
auttl he reeled, and rode him on our way next moo
ning.
They will talk to you of water founder and feed
louder, who know nothing of the diseaSe. The
horse is always foundered before he gets either—
the water only striking it more directly into the
limbs. It is the fever arising from suffering that
produces founder--either from over work--want'
of water or foOd—or possibly by an excess of the
fitter, which a horse never'tekt s wnen
too much sense to eat like a glutton. The true
way to avoid foundering a !terse is, when riding
hint on a journey, to tied him over night With what
he will eat—in the morning to give hire water tly
nil tneans before you have ridden three miles—and
this if you have to leav'e the main road td n farm
house and dtaiv it from the well. When btough;
l'rein the st;:ble, the horse is cool and will'drink but
little—in the first two miles tide he becomes warm
ed and with it arises a desire to driiik--this, if
denied, seen produces stiffering, and if the horse
has ever been so before, lie will be foundered agaiti
before reaching the mile. If more hardy lib
will stand it a few miles further; b u t if watered as
here directed, he is safe from founder all that day.
Many horses are foundered and other's greatly in
jured from a disregard of these nitre. Tejo the
want of water, not the application of it, that 1 . 01111-
ders--the latter only exhibits the disease more
quickly, which then settles in the extreniiiies, the
feet ; but copious and timely bleeding will carry it'
off before fastening there.'
