From The Eastern (Mc., y Republican,

We commence, to-day, the publication Of Mr. Smiths
letter to his constituents, but from It's great length,
shall be unable to crowdit all into one paper Had It
been possible, we should have inserted it all in one
number as TO be fully understood and properly apprec
ated, it should be read in connexon. This, however,
still be done, by laying by the papers which con-
tain it, and this we would advise all to do, as it will be
found well worth perusal Indeed 1t is the most able
paper upon the subject Of which treats that has
emanatcd from any Of the individuals composing tho
Spartan band who have thrown themselves IN
the breach with a full determination to save and
preserve the country, perish IN the attempt. IL
is the triumphant vIndcaon of the principles and mo-
tves of the conservative branch Of the republican party
and full refutaton of the many caunnlss that have
been heaped upon them by those who have abandoned
republican principles to bask in the sunshine Of Execu
tive favor No candid and rejecting man conversant
with the principles of Jefferson Madison and Jackson,
can rise from the perusa of this letter. without approx
ing in his heart the pursued by the Representa-
tive from Cumberland even If interest or pride oil opn-
ion should induce him TO withhold his assent from the
world Those in Penobscot who have taken their stand
against the ruuous experiments and false doctrines OF
the Administrations must feel proud OF their position
proud of the distinguished men with whom they are
acting The two individuals Of the Maine delegation
who bear aoft the republican banner, unarnished by
new cmbems or strange devices, whether we consider
their talents their uniform devotion to republican Prn
cples or their services the republican party stand lar
III advance of their colleagues.
There are thousands in Maine who are kept back
from the fear of dis,racng the party and throwing u
into minority Let such remember that honesty 10
ever the best policy. II they will but look at the re-
suit Of the elections for the last eight months, in every
part Of the country they must be satisfied that the only
way TO save the party, to nominate candidates that
viii bring unchanged democrats to the polls If they
cannot throw their for candidates who advocate
federal doctrincs-aho support the Sub Treasury and
oppose well regulated system Of credit, 'hey must
nominate candidates Of their own, or all is lost.

The editor of the Globe received the fol-
lowing in answer to its unfounded attack upon
the State banks of Massachusetts
To the Editor of the GloJc.
Sln noticed in the Globe Of last evening, the
following paragraph taken from the Elyria (Ohio)
Republican: IT,.
"ANoTHER or Mr.. WEBsrER's PETS GONE The
Citizens Bank, at Worcester, Massachusetts, is
ported 10 have gone by the board. To separate the
Government from the banks, the FederaSts say, is
virtually 10 separate the Government from the peo
pie"
As this paragraph, thus given an extensive cur
rency through the vast circulation Of your paper
is calculated 10 do great injustice and mischief 10 an
institution and the interests of numerous citizens in
the district which | have the duty as we'll as the
honor to represent, ] ask to be permitted, through
yuur sense of Justice TO correct the misStaement.
The Citizens Bank at Worcester, Massachusetts,
has mt " gone by the board" A momcntary embar-
rassment occurred 10 lis circulation by the sudden
refusal of the Suffolk Bank in Boston, TO receive It's

BABYLON.

cLIMB'D the cliff crossed the rock
trod the deserts old
passd the wild Arabian tents,
The Syrian shepherds Told
Behind Inc far all haunts of men
Stretched into distance gray,
When spread before me- lone and wide,
The plain of Shinar lay;
The boundless plain of far Linjar
Where, long, long ages hack,
Abdallah read The silent stars,
And wrote their mystic track.
Where art thou, gem Of the rich earth
City Of far renown,
The glory ofthe proud Chaldee,
The green earihs ancient crown.
Where lies the lake that, cleaning wide,
Gave hack thy hundred towersa
Where are thy gardens Of delight2
Thy cedar-shaded bowers2
Where, whereof, where rolls rapidly
Thine ever-hashing river,
Past marble gate and eolumn'd tower,
Guarding thy walls for ever
There is no voice Of gladness here,
No breath Of song floats by;
hearken-but The moaning wind
l. all that makes reply.
solemn and lone the silent marsh
Spreads endiessly around,
And shapeless are the ruined heaps
That sirew the broken ground.
Sadly, above huge outlines dim,
Signs the lone willow Dough-
The last, last voice Of Babylon,
Its only music now.
Son Of Mandanc. By whose hand
The doomed city fell
The swift feet of whose soldiery
Climbed tower and citadel;
Thou foundest revelfy and mirth, .
Thou foundest dance and song,
Thou foundest many banquet fair,
And many a Joyous lhrong:
Like the death-angel earnest thou,
When men were care hereft
And is this lone, waste wilderness
The total thou hast left? -
Oh glorious were herpalaees,
And shrines of fretted gold!
Then rose the fame of Merodach,
The house of BeluS old:
And busy life was in her streets,
w here countless nations thronged;
Light footsteps glided through her homes,
And mirth To her belonged
But prophet voices murmured
Even in her festal halls;
And angel fingers wrote her doom
Upon the palace-vahs.
AT midnight came the Persian,
Mingling amid the crowd;
He needed not the beautiful,
He stayed not for the proud;
False was her fated river,
Needless her gods of stone;
He entered at her open gates,
He passed--and she was gone.
Her place on earth abde,h not
Memorial she hath none;
Darkness and ruin thou may'St find,
But never Babylon

1t is excellent for giving the teeth beautiful whlte
