The following humorous ode originally appeared in
bile Gazette, in 1917, it displays happy talent and
ishes most excellent upon owa MANUFACTURE,
AN ODE,
Wherein the Lyric Bard warneth his fellow citizens oft
dangers of commerce and agriculture, and pointeth
a short and sure road to wealth.
Merchant think it time to stop
When every house becomes shop,
For Groceries or Dry Goods
If all men undertake to sell,
It's somewhat difficult to tell
Who can be found to buy goods.
Our Planters too, I'm much afraid,
Will find their labor poorly paid,
When they depend on cotton;
grows luxurantly, Igrant,
But what avas this thriving plant,
If every bowl proves rotten.
Let such as feel proper pride,
Set those ignoble trades aside;
For he's beneath ones pity,
Who puts up with the merchants toll,
Or meanly stoops to grub the soil,
When he can Gig.
Thai Ospn a city, you'll excaim--
Yes, own the spot, thatsjust the same,
On which the place must stand;
Forlf on maps, it's once laid down,
lis just as genuine atown,
AS any IN the land
To7vn Making row, is quite trade,
Of which the rules are ready made,
For those who stand in need:
Thus when seaport is intended,
If these ingredients be blended,
1t cannot but succeed
First choose an elevated bluff
Just where the rivers deep enough
For ships of largest mould
(If there should be bar below
Ger which these vessels cannot go,
The fact need not be tod.)
You next must find limpid spring,
For this is an important thing,
And answers vastly well
To lcngthen out the wondrous tale,
And aid, when other reasons fail,
To make the city sell.
The most important point, perhaps,
Lies in the drawing Of the maps;
The painter there must try,
BY mingling yellow, red and green,
TO make the most delightful scene
That ever met the eye.
The lite itself must NOT be known,
That no description but your own
May shine forth in the papers;
You then may RAISE an eastern breezr,
Or any other wind you please,
To drive off noxous yapors
of this obscure spot you may swear
There never was purer air,
And if you're not believed,
AT astyou cannot be belied,
For none can prove that men have died,
There no euer Eue3
This putting must not be omitted,
For where you'll find one man that's fitted
To think and act alone
You'll find thousand timd FOOLS
Just formed, 'twould seem to be his tools,
And do as he has done.
IT'S when the rage is at its height,
The knowing ones will quit the site,
While those that stop behind,
OF this desertion can't complain,
For what they lose in wealth, they gain
In knowledge of mankind.

castle OF St. john, had march ed his army
as far towards Vera Cruz as Aaiapas, a
bout 60 miles distant, when his advance
was arrested by republican army under
Generals Lopez and Gusdaloupe Victo'
ria. Some small affairs had taken place
between them, but no considerable battle;
aud several hundred of the imperial troops
had passed over and joined the counter
,revolutionists.
The republican chiefs addressed a let>
ter TO IluTbids, assuring him they had no
hostile views against his person, but a.
gsinst his nessuIes-tbey tell hun he has
mistaken the will OF the Mexican nation,
who will not be ruled by despot. but
are determined 10 be governed by fixed
laws. | be will throw off his crown and

not only respect him. but pledge them

voter lately stated to Mr.. Bailey, that his refu-
sal to serve in the state legislature was made an
objection to his being supported for Congress.
He modesty observed, that such training might
be necessary in some cases: but would IT be
proper, he asked, to put one who understood
his a abs, into his letters. From this b alb
reasoning, it appears, Mr.. Bailey really be.
lieves himself to be a man OF talents, and TIT
for the office to which he aspires. He there
fore ought not to refuse to afford to the voters
a specimen of his qualifications for that Office.
Let him, on the day OF election III each county,
address the treehoders for only hall an hour on
some public topic Of great importance TO our
country. The tariff, fol instance, or some
constitutional question; and make it evident,
even to himselfif he can, that he is worthy OF
the seat occupied by eur present distinguished
representatives. duty to himself and proper
respect for the freehoders of the district re-
1uire this of him. I assure him that am not
singular in the opinion that he does not pos
sess the requisite qualifications Tor legislation
now, and without an entire change Of habits,
and severe study. long continued, he cannot
expect to acquire them in future.

care, dear Glauco, lest a too warm desire OF no.
nors should deceive you into pursuits that may
cover you with shame, by setting your incaPa-

nature of my subject requires plain dealing;
but disclaim any thing like personal hostility

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Pursuant to the order yesterday taken,
to change the hour OF meeting from IL to
IL, the house was called to order at IL o.
clock; but quorum not being present on
motion, cali of the house was ordered,
and the clerk proceeded to call over the
roll. Before the clerk had called all the
names, Mr.. Saunders moved 10 suspend
the further calling Of the roll. A division
on this question was asked for, and on the
