Which now distrac,s the People in several of the
most important States in the Union, and prevents
them laying their course, will be at an end. What
will then be done, we suppose, win be, that the con-
gressiona friends of each candidate win separately
propose him to the people, with such effect on the
public mind thr influence of their names, services
and known principles, may entitle it to.
1t appears to us, speaking as spectators merely,
that the matters brought to this crisis the
better. We should, to be prefer general NOM
nation for our own guidance; but, if it be not
made, we shall fash ourselves about it, We have
none of that bitterness about which, the least
opposition to wishes, turns to gall the milk OF
human kindness"-much less of that f,stidiousness
which tolcrates no opinion but our own. We shall
support the general nomination, if one be made
but, in the time, columns shall he, as they
conspicuously to-day, "open to NIL parties, in
Aucnced by none," reserving only to ourselves the
right of opinion and expression which we freely ac
cord to others.--Nat. Int.

ON MUSIC.
Atn-a1He banks of Banna."

Ata-s The banks Of Ban.a."
When through life unblcst we rove,
Loosing all that made life dear,
Should some notes we us'd to love
In days of boyhood, meet our ear;
Oh how welcome breathcs the strain,
Wak'ning thoughts that long have slept,
Kindling former smiles again,
In faded eyes that long have wept,
Like the gale, that signs along
Beds Of oriental flowers,
In the grateful breath of song,
That once was heard in happier hours
Fill'd with balm, the gale signs on,
Though the flowers have sunk in death;
So when pleasures dream is gone,
Its memory lives III music's Breath.
Music oh! how faint, how weak,
Language fades before thy spell.
Why should feeling ever speak,
When thou canst breathe her soul so well:
Friendships balmy words may feign,
Loves are cen more false than they;
Oh It's only music's strain
Can sweetly soothe, and not betray!

AS beam DER the face of the waters may glow,
While the tide runs in darkness and GOODNESS below,
So the cheek mag be ting d with warm sunny smile,
Though the cold heart ruin darby the while.
One fatal remembrance, one sorrow that throws
Its bleak shades alike DER our joys and our woes,
To which life nothing darker or brighter can bring,
For which Joy has no balm and afliction no sting
Oh this thought in the midst of enjoyment will stay,
Like dead, leaicss branch in the summers bright

The beams of the warm sun play round it in vain,
Ii may smile in his light, but it blooms not again.

cal nsttuti nourishing the growth of party in
trigue, which carries in its train, every species of
dangerous and degrading corruption ; and prac-
tce, which, if not checked in its progress, will uti-
matey undermine the sacred rights, the prosperity
and happinessof the American people. Therefore,
in obedience to duty, the State we represent to
our fellow-citizens of the Union,
Resolred by the House Of Representatives of the
General assembly Of the State Of Indiana, That it is
the right of the people, reserved by them, in the
Constitution, to elect the President and Vice Pre-
sident of the United States; and that any attempt
by Congressional nominations, in caucus or other

thorized by the constitutions should be regarded by
