Mr.. Niles in his REGISTER, says, at the
last Presidential Election, the free popula-
ton Of the United States was divided as
follows g.
Adams 81 members, 3, $50, $50, free pop.
Jackson II do. 1865 1852, do. ~
Crawford 50 do. 1,15O,O62, do.
1t is wen known that the SlGces of the
South have no more influence OF: voice in
the elections, than the Horses Of the North.
They are both property. Figures and
facts never lie. Hence we find that Gen.
Jackson had nearly nine hundred thousand
less votes of the Freemen of the United
States for the Office Of the President than
John Quincy Adams.-Let this fact be re-
membered, and thentke silly ,pretence that
the General had the Voice Of the people sin
has favor, win pass for its worth.

White Observation-Disclosures Slide
Since the great slide on the night of the
28th ult: in which the Wiley family were
overwhelmed, there has been another from
the East side of the White Hills. which
has blocked up the road leading to Mount
Washington. Mr.. Crawford, with two gen.
tlemen from Concord, narrowly escaped
with their lives. They had attempted to
ascend the Hill, but apprehending some
danger, retreated just in season to escape
the threatened destruction.
Great damage has been sustained in the
interior of New-Hampsilire by the late
heavy rains. On some of the streams, the

WHY Do WE LOVE?

| often think each tottering form
That limps along in hfe's decline,
Once bore heartsas young as warm,
AS full of idle thoughts as mine
And each has had its dream of Joy,
+ His own unequalled pure romance;
Commencing when the blushing hey
First..thrills at lovelyswoman's glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearthlyfruth.
Than any tale, before or since. II
Yes---they could tell ofsstender lays,
At midnight penn'd in classic shades;
of days more bright than modern days;
--Of maids more fair than living maids
Of whispers in willing ear, 4
OF kisses on blushing cheek;
(-Each kiss--each whisper far too dear
For modern lips to give or speak.)
Of prospects too, untinely cross'd,
OF passions sighted or betrayal,
OF kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossom but to fade.
:! OF beaming eyes and tresses gay, g
Elastic form and noble brow:
And charms---thatsall have passed away,
And left thena-What ace see them aosot
And is it SOS human love
So Gerry light and frail thing?
And must youths brightest visions move.
Forever on Times restless wing
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And allsthe lips that talk Of bliss,
And all the forms SO fair tonight,
Hereafter--only come to this?
Then what are loves best visions worth.
IL we at length must lose them thus
Ii all we value most onsearth
Ere long must fade away from Us?
If that one being whom we take
From all the world, and still rec,,r
To all she said-and for her sake
Feel far from joy-wlien far from her
II that one form which we adore
From youth to age, in bliss or pain.
Soon withers-and is seen no more
Why .doswe love-if love be vGin?

Weep not for her!--Oh she was far too fair,
Toopure to dwell on this guilt-tainted earth
The sinless glory, and the golden air
OF Zion, seem'd to claim her from her birth
A spirit WANDERED from its native zone,
Which, soon DISCOVERING, took her for its own !;
Weep not for her! @
Weep not for her!-Her span was like the sky,
i Whose thousand stars shine beautiful and
bright;
Like flowers, that know not what it is to die;
Like long -link'd shadeless months of Polar
light; @~-- 81.
Like Music floating DER waveless lake,
While Echo answers from the Aowery brake ::
Weep not for her! s.
Weep not for her She died in early youth,
Ere hope had lost its rich romantic hues
When human bosoms seem'd the homes of
truth,
And earth still glean'd with beauty's radi-
ant dews,
Her stllnmer-prime waned not to days that
freeze; -,H
Her wine Of life was run not to the lees:
Weep not for her!
Weep not for her by feet or slow decay,
1t never griev'd her bosom's core to mark
The playmates of her childhood wane away;
Her prospects wither; or her hopes grow
dark;
Translated by her God, with spirits shriven,
She pass'd as 'twere ia smiles from earth to

Weep not for her!

As whirl the wither'd leaves from Friendships

And on earth's wintry void alone to be;
Weep not for her!
Weep not for her !-She is an angel now,
And treads the sapphire floors of Paradise,
All darkness wiped from her refulgent brow,
Sin, sorrow, suffering, banished from .ker
eyes; sN a.
Victorious over death, to her appear TX.
The vista'd joys of Heavens eternal year;
