IORD'S.
Why start? the case is yours, or will be soon,
Some years perhaps, perhaps another moon, ,
Life in its utmost span, is still breath,
And those who longest dream, must wake in death
Like you, once thought every bliss secure,
And gold, of every i'll, the perfect cure;
Till steop'd in sorrows, and besieg'd with pain,
Too late i found all earthly riches vain;
Disease with scorn threw back the sordid foe,
And Death still answerod-what is gold TO me?
Fame, titles, honors, next vainly sought
And fools obsequious nursd the childish thought.
Gilded with bribd applause, and PURCHASED praise.
built on endless grandeur, endless days;
But death awak'd me from a dream of pride,
And laid a prouder beggar by my side.
Pleasure courted, and oby'd my taste,
The banquet smipd and smild the gay repast
A loathsome carcass was my constant care,
And worlds were ransack'd--but for me to share.
Go on, vain man, in luxury be firm,
Yet know toasted, but to feast worm.
Already sure less terrible l seem;
And you, like me, can own that life's a dream,
Whether that dream may boast the longest date,
Farcwell-remcmber- you wake too late.
LADY'S.
Blush not, we fair, TO own me-but be wise,
Nor turn from sad mortality your eyes.
Fame says, (Fame alone can tell how true,)
l once was lovely, and BELOVED like you.
Where are my votries--where my fathers now
Fled-with the subject of each lovers VOW.
Adieu-the roses fied--the lilies white.
Alden, those eyes, that made the darkness light,
No more, alas that coral lip is seen,
Nor longer breathes the fragrant gale between.
Turn from your mirror, and behold in me,
At once what thousands can't, or dare not see,
Unvarnishd the real truth impart,
Nor here am placed, but to direct the heart.
Survey me well, we fair ones, and believe,
The grave NAV terrify, but can't deceive
On beauty fralty's case, no moro depend,
Here youth and pleasure, age and sorrows end.
Here drops the mask--here shuts the final scene
Nor differs grave three score, from grave fifteen
All press alike to that same goal-the tomb,
Where wrinkrd Laura smiles at Chloe's bloom.
When coxcombs flatter, and when fools adore,
Learn here the esson--to be vain no more.
Yet virtue still against decay can arm,
And even lend mortality charm.

uross-Aa duty they owe mot only to the
States whose institutions are assailed, but
TO the Union and Constitution, as has been
shown, and it may be added, to themselves.
The sober and considerate portions of Clti-
zeus of the on-slaveholding States, who
have a deep stake in the existing institu
tons of the country, would have little fore
cast not to see that the assaults which are
now directed against the institutions of the
Southern States may be very easily direct
ed against those which uphold their own
property and security. A very slight mod
iticaton of the arguments used against the
institutions which sustain the property and
security of the South, would make them
equally effectual against the institutions o 1
the north, including banking, in which so
vast an amount of capital and property is
invested 1t would be well for those inter-
ested to reflect whether there exists, or ever
has existed, wealthy and civilized COM
munity, in which one portion did not live
on the labor of another; and whether the
form in which slavery exists in the South
is not hut one modification of this universal
condition; and finally, whether any other,
under all the circumstances of the case, is
more defensible, or stands on stronger
ground of necessity. 1t is time TO look these
questions in the face.
Let those who are interested remember
that labor is the only source of wealth, and
how small portion oft, in all old and civ
ilzed countries, even the best governed, is
left to those by whose labor wealth is
created. Let them also reflect how little
voltion or agency the operatives in any
country have, in the question of its distri-
bution-as little, with a few exceptions, as
the African of the slaveholding States has,
in the distribution of the proceeds of his
labor. Nor is it the less oppressive, that in
the one case it is effected by the stern will
ofthe Government, and in the other by the
more feeble and flexible will of a master.
If one be an evil, so is the other The only
difference is the amount and mode of the
exaction and distribution, and the agency
by which they are effected.

MIR HALLETT'S MANGUVRE.

The following article from the Greenfield
Mercury will shed some additional light on
the mode and the manner" in which the
pretended nomination of Mr. Van Buren, by
the Antimasons of Massachusetts was effec-
ted:
The .4ntimdSons of Franklin. Two or
three weeks ago, Convention purportng
to be an Antimasonic Legislative Conven-
ton, and composed in fact, of Suffolk anti
masons and Jackson men, with asprinkling
of the halt-and-half antinasons of Middle
sex, and Bristol, met and passed series
of resolutions, nominating Martin Van Bu-
rem for the Presidency. We were satisfied
at the time that this nomination could not
be assented 10 by the original antimasons of
this quarter, who had repeatedly and pub
licly expressed their adherence of the acts
and policy of the administration of which
Van Buren, is the legitimate representative.
1t is with great pleasure that we are ena-
bled to state that of the nine original anti
maSons who are now in the Legislature
from this county, eight at least have main
tanned the honorable consistency which
might have been expected of them, have
refused to be sold by the Boston leaders,
and are known to he politically attached to
the great defender of the Constitution.
That there may be no ambiguity, we annex
the names of the antimasonic representa-
tives from this county.
Epaphras Hoyt, Stephen Whitney, Deer
field; Thomas Longley, Hawley; Charles
f. Billings, Conway $. Ii. Reed, Rowe;
- Halves, auckland; - Sawyer,
Wendell Joseph Smith, Colerain Joseph
Adams, Shutesbury.
This is the antmasonic representation
from this county; and we may say without
fear of contradiction that there is no rep
resentation of the same number from any
county, which surpasses this in talent, in
good sense, or in sound patriotism. Every
one of them, with a single exception,)
adhering to the antimasonic declaration OF
1892, which called on 'all good citizens TO
unite in Kidding the country of the evils of
Jacksonism,' feels himself bound to oppose
the man who has pledged himselfto follow
out the acts ofhis predecessor, and tread in
his footsteps We believe that their deter.
mnation is a correct index of the feelings
Of the great body of the conscientious anti
nasons of this county.

FROM HEADQUARTERS!

The Ontario Freeman, which has always
maintained its integrity as sound antina-
sonic journal, amidst all the fluctuations of
New York politics, contains the proceed
lngs of Democratic Antimsonic County
Convention recently held at Canandaigua,
the residence of our candidate for Vice
President. HARRISON and GRANGER
were nominated with enthusiasm. Tho
Freeman notices the meeting in the follow
ing emphatic terms:
We give to-day, the proceedings of the
Democratic Antimasonic County ConveD-
ton, and the Address accompanying tho
same, which will be read with deep inter-
est. The Convention was very full one,
all the towns being represented. The Ad-
dress and Resolutions were listened to with
deep interest, received and adopted by the
Convention with one unanimous burst of
applause and satisfaction. Never was a
Convention more unanimous Delegates
and spectators all wed with each other in
expressing their approbation-th the largo
room in which they meet was crowded
more than at any other period within our
recollection.
The Freemen who attended this Con-
vention acted as Freeman should-they
waived their individual preferences for
men, and expressed their determination to
go shoulder to shoulder in the support
ofpure Democratic principles-measIres
not men equal political rights-op opposition
to Frecmasonry and all other secret socie-
ties in whatever shape or form they may
assume. We call upon the Freemen of the
state of New York to come up with us to
the rescue of the Constitution, and save that
precious instrument from the iron grasp of
those who would scatter it TO the four
winds of heaven, and destroy the dear
bought rights for which our fathers bled
and died. Brethren of the east, north and
south permit us TO call upon you to arouse
from your sumbers-a voice from Steuben
already cries we come the southern tier of
counties are on The alert we shall soon
see them moving in solid columns for Har-
rison and Granger-the west, the truly
democratic west, will do their duty-they
90 for Harrison and Granger, and like their
brethren of Pennsylvania, they spurn the
collar and the cable-tow, and all Masonic
dictation.
State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1831-1836, 1836-03-08

We notice that some of the Van Buren,
oracles, in the absence of any valid objec-
ton 10 Gen. Harrison, are attempting to
connect him with the advocacy of the old
Alien and Scdition Law, while in Congress.
Let us have the proof, gentlemen. Our
beliefs, that he was not in Congress at the
time that law was PASSED. Our scrupulous
directors, by the way, are dumb as adders
in view of the far more odious proposition
for gag-law, now before the Senate with
the appreciation of Andrew Jackson and
the leading Van Buren, men in Congress.
