call for such labor, and they will think them
selves happy it they succeed in renovstng and
calling forth the energies Of the Press against
the multiplied disorders wh.h peryade the
civil poGty of Illinois.
As to the great political questions which so
extensively interest our state and nation, the
editors avow themselves to be governed by
liberal and republican principles They will
take firm and unmovable stand against NEW
CONVENTION, while apossbility remains Of the
admission Of slavery, for reasons too nume-
rous to be adduced in the limits of this Pros
pectus. The Presidential election will next
claim their consideration. They feel disposed
to advocate the man who has rendered the
most services to his country; who has evinced
the greatest talents, and whose conduct has
been regulated by the most enlarged and libe-
raj views of Government, and by republican
principles. IiEsnY CLAY, it is conceived, pos
sesses these qualifications in a more eminent
degree than any of the rival candidates. His
pretensions, therefore, Will receive the I'M
bounded appreciation Of the editors, who, pat
terning after this ilustrious man, initiating his
characteristic modesty and integrity Of soul.
through all the clamor and buzz of the Presi-
dental contest, will endeayor to maintain de-
cency and sacred regard for truth, both in
their eulogics upon the favorite, and in their
animadversions upon adverse claimants.
The editors have said what they intend to
do now for what they intend not TO do.
This is by no nosns declaration OF war

POETRY.

WHY DO WE E0VEi


often think each tottering form
That limps along in life's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
As full of idle thoughts as mine
And each has had its dream of JOY,
His own unequalPd pure romance;
Commencing, when the biushing boy
First thrills at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth,
And think its scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale, before or since.
yes--they could tell of tender lays,
At midnight penn'd in classic shades'
Of days more bright than modern days,
Ofmaids more fair than living maids.
OF whispers in a willing ear,
of kisses on = blushing cheek,
zach kiss--each whisper far too dear
For modern lips to give or speak.)
Of prospects to, untimely cross'I
ofpassions sighted Or betrayed,
of kindred spirits carly lost,
And buds that blossom but to fade.
Of beaming eyes, and tresses gay,
Elastic form, and noble brow;
And charms-that all have pass'd awsv,
And left them Vhat you see them no,sf
And is II so IL human love
SO pcfy frail and light thing!
And must youths brightest visions move,
Forever on times restless wingl
Eust all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss'
And all the forms so fair tonight,
Bereafter-only come to this
Then what are loves best visions worth,
five at length must lose them thus'
Lall we value most on earth,
Ere long must fade away from us'
II that one being whom we take
From all the world, and still recur
To all she said-and for her sake
Feel Tar from joy, when far from her
Tthat one form which he adore
From youth to age, in bliss or pain,
Soon wthers-and is seen no more
Why do we love-if'oue be vains

THE SPIES.
BY sELLEcK OSBORN.
When lurking lathe camp Of foes,
With adverse chances all before him,
The war-spy tremb'es, for he knows
There stands gibbet, in terrorem.
And this is for his country's sake,
We, nations by consent. denounce him.
And strictly they the forfeit take,
And ignominious they pronounce him.
The fre-side spy sits cool and calm,
And scans your secrets with impunity!
Pours friendly words in breath of balm,
Then tattles to the whole comp'u ity.
Yet, though no ga'lows and no rope
Their terrors in this case exhibit
The scorn of all good men, we hope,
And just contempt, will form his gibbet.

EnOnl The Chnrlsaion Cn,,riisr.

From the Charleston Courier.
Although this world no JOY can give,
Like that it takes away,
And all our hopes of earth-born bliss
Are visions of day;
Yet there are charms enough in life,
To make existence dear,
When the sunny smiles of happiness
So oft succeed the tear.
Suppose the sun shone always bright,
We should not heed bis ray;
Our dearest dreams of gay delight
Are fettef'd By delay.
And while we in the sunshine bask,
And feel its ray so warm,
We should not mar our present bliss,
By thinking Of the storm.
Then seize life's flowers, while blooming fresh
As on our path they're she'd;
Enough to mourn their fading hues,
When all their bloom has fled.
And though our CASTLES, BASED ON AIR,
May tumble to the dust,
We may finer structure build
In heaven among the just.
