.s,ss ss,ss spoke I,o ord, She lleaTad no sigh,
 For her heart was well nigh breaking; And wild was the gaze of her sparkling eye, Like the dead from slumber waking. No tear bedewed her faded cheek,
 h silent sorrow stealing That calmness seemed too well to speak
 A wound that knew no healing, Poor victim of villains lust!
 Cast on the worlds wide pillow; Is none then left in whom to trust!
 Not one to smooth thy pillow! Yes! though thy friends forsake thee now, Though all the world may scorn thee, 5S55ttii one remains to calm thy brow;
 Yes, one is left to mourn thee: To heaven then pour thy constant prayer, And Cease from all thy grieying; Pardon Is linked with mercy there,
 Far from the worlds deceivingl And when the turf is on thy head,
 And the long grass waving o'er thee, One still shall weep for the silent dead! One heart shall still deplore thee? ".

EDITORIAL APPOINTMENTS

| \
 Having seen it stated in various quar- ters, that the Senate of the II. States had felt, and continue still to feel great hesitation in confirming certain appoint ments of editors of newspapers, to office, on the ground of the tendency of such appointments to corrupt the Press, I have been induced to retlecta good deal uPpon the subject. Pehaps the result of these reflections may not be altogether uninteresting to the public at this mo- snent.
 The constitution makes no distinction, among the different classes and proies- sions, in regard to eligibility to office; and the practice has been hitherto. oc- casionally to bestow offices on the con ductors of newspapers, as well as others.
 he people have never made any dis. tinction excluding conductors or propri- etors of newspapers, and nearly all the elective offices of the nation, have been at some time or other, filled by persous of ofthat-profession.. Benjamin Franklin. was the editor and proprietor of a news paper. in the general intercourse of social life, no distinction exists; nor would the mere circumstance of q man being the editor of a newspaper. be an tiohto admission into atiy socii- ety on terms of perfect equality.
 As q profession or business, 1t would seem then, that neither in principle or practice, is there any circumstance con- ss:ssas Y; ss | publishing Of a news paper, which disqualiiies men from claiming or receiving the patronage of the people or the peoples government. in the same ratio that other classas and professions receive it.
 It is presumed, therefore. that tbe ground E on which tho tho Senate of the IF. : States hesitates, or objects to confirm the nominations of editors of newspapers to office, by the present administratlon. < is what has been stated to be it's sup- posed tendency to destroy the indepen. .dence of the Press. Let us examine this subject simply and briefly.
 Ought the Press 10 be Independent 0. the principles that govern the party O which itprofesses to be the organ? Sup pose the editor of a newspaper, were ts set himself upin opposition to a repub iIcan government, and advocate the res torattioa ott the old Colonial systeIn.- his would he acting independentlyeer tainiy, but this Independence would as certainly lose him all his subscrihers

Soon after his sHlght sub lime" his oxship was discovered quietly feeding below, apparently well satisfied with one attempt at aronautic exc'lf- sion; and probably, did he live in the days of Esop, he could say to all lnqul- rers as Pat did on somewhat similar oe- casion,-it's aisy enough flying sure, hut oehi and is hard lighting.
