THE NEW WORLD FOR COLUMBUS.
tiIIGANNE,
On the croWdeOquoys 41 Genoa,
Walked a diaeontented man—
Gazing forth upon the ocean,
Far asstraining eye could scan.
Fixed and pallid was his forehead,
And his arinkwere tightly locked
O'er the heart that in his bosom
Like a surging billow rocked.
•
Gazed Ire forth upon the ocean,
Through the v kloudy mist of night,
dazed he forth when dancing sunshine :7
Clothed the Spa with golden light ;
And his lips wc(Uld mutter strangely, 4.
And his forehead weave a frown; -.
While he hiloirld his heart more tightly,.
As 'twere hard to keep it down.
Gathered the ppple oft around him—
Jc'ring
nten,Ad laughing maids:-- "
Mocking scorn do a freezin g pity,
Nothring chi4.and wagging heads ;
And the greybeards said, ‘• Good Jesu!
'Tis a sight ihciuld make us sad!
This poor man Ims gone demented- 7 •
Poor Columbia sure is mad !"
Lik\e that madman of Genoa,
Stand the re'ople's prophets now,
Fixing on. the Future's ocean,
Earnest eve and pallid brow.
Throb their - hearts with mystic longings f ,
And they bag their spirits in !
(Lest the might!, of their conceptions
Should be cimeified 'by men. .
Like C : dumbus; gaze they outward,
Thicargh th 6 gloomy clouds of night— ,
To a world of c glorious beauty
Shining in Upon their sight,
Herd they noo.he jibes and mockery—
Heed they trot the words of scorn :
1* the act'isiin the future,
Though the?tliottght be newly born,
Brother ! Hope shall be our ocean—
Hope shall bear our swerveless Lark ;.
Like the noble , Gernese mariner,
Press we onWard to our mark.
Golden lands have bold Columbus •

of course the very last vandidate that England
an& toe English would of all others+ have se
lected, had they been perdiitted to haVe a ii, ice
in it. The agency of Ga. Cass i►S thwarting
the desigul of England in the matter of the

in the Senate of the U: S.; have eMned for . him
'au enviable unpopularity there, int 'they ha,

were 'consulted in his eeleinion, -and the result
wilt show, in spite of lamentations that.. or
elsewhere," that it was fully in accordance with
the wishes and expectations of the 'democracy
of this country.
To show the extent id' British' feeling against
Gen. Cass, and how nearly it -assimilates
that expressed by the allied opposition, the
whig and harnburningleaders, we quote a para
