LAM FOR PEACE.
By WILLIAM B. TAPPAN.
Oh, why should nations, lifted up
BY Christian privilege. prepare
For sister realms the bitter cup
Whose dregs are sorrow and despair!
At empty Honor's larum wake
Force that for Right could never fail,
For fancied insult, vengeance take,
And duel on larger scale!
Just God this is not in thy plan;
The monstrous dogma's not from Thee,
That what is wrong from man to man,
In governments may venial be.
Thou ever dost transgression hate
In highest, as in humblest place.
Nor will its penalty abate
From parliament or populace.
loathe il all and when see.
Gay, gladstone warriors trooping by,
With glancing steel, and bravery
Oftrump and drum, can but sigh
That men, like children, ever seem
Still pleased and fattered with straw
And for Fame's splendid, empty dream
Wilicourt the crimes and curse Of War.

THE MORAL WARFARE.

DIT JOHN ". WHITTIER.
When Freedom, on her natal day,
Within her war-rock'd cradle lay,
An iron face around her stood.
Baptized her infant brow in blood.
And, through the stern which round her swept
Their constant ward and watching kept,
a'hsn, where quiet herds repose.
The roar Of balefnl battle rose,
And brethren Of common tongue
To mortal strife as tigers sprung,
And every gin on Freedoms shrine
Wes man Cor beast, and blood for wine.
Our fathcra 70 their graves have gone;
Their sfrifs Is pnst-tlieir triumph won:
Bat stermer trials wait the race
Which rises In their honor'd place
A HoRAL wAxvARE with the cTims
AID IDLY Of aR evil tine.
Vermont telegraph. [volume] (Brandon [Vt.]) 1828-1843, 1839-02-20

So let il be. In Gods own might
We grid us for the coming fight,
And, strong IN Him whose cause is ours
In conflict with unholy powers,
We grasp the weapons he has gwen
The Light, and Truth, and Love of Heaven.

Friend Of the poor Go on
Speak for the Truth and Right!
Onwatd-though hate and scorn
Gloom round thee as the night.
Speak-at each word of thine,
Some ancient Fraud is riven'
And through its rents Of ruin shine
The sunbeams and the heaven!
Speak-for thy voice will be
Welcome in each abode
Where manhood's heart and knee
Are Bonded but TO God;
Where honest bosoms hold
Their holy birthright we'll; Tgold;
Where Freedom spurns at Mamm on's
Where Man as not 10 sell!
Speak-for the poor mans cause
For Labor's just reward
For violated law
Of nature and Of God
Speak-let the Debtor hear
Within his living grave!
Speak-THUNDER in Expressions ear,
Dehverance 10 the SLAVE!
Av, speak-while there is time.
For all freeman's claim
Ere thought becomes crime,
And Freedom but name!
While yet the Tongue and pen
And Press are unfoIbid,
And, we dare feel and act as men
Speak-as our fathers did!>
The land. we love ere long
Shall kindle at thy call;
Falsehood and CHARTERED Wrong,
And legal Robbery, fail:
The proud shall not combine
The secret council cease
And underneath his shelterlng vine
Shall Labor dwell in peace!
Old Massachusetts yet
Retains her earliest fires;
Still on her hills are set
The alters Of her sires;
Her "6erce Democratic"
Has yet its strength .unshorn,
And pamper'd Power ere long shall see
Its Gaza-gates uptorn.
Perish shall all which takes
From Labor's board, and can!
Perish shall all which makes
A Spaniel ofthe Man!
With freshen'd courage, then, .
On 10 the glorious end
Ever the same as thou hast been
The poor mans fastest friend!

One OF the cardinal points on which this
party came into power, was one presidential
term; another, the reduction oil expenses
and third, rotation in Office. How all these
have been carried out, let the past explain =
how they will continue to be carried out, If
the power be retained in their hands, lot the
future answer. In the way Of reduction in
the expenses Of the government, millions have
been substituted for thousands; and the cur
rency, forsooth, the commercial, agricultural
and mechanical interests were to be SO i'm
proved, that the whole country was to be an
other 81 dorado. Well, all this has been falsi-
fed, and the nation ruthlessly struck down
from its high state Of prosperity, to poverty
and ruin. wherein the laboring classes are the
chief sufferers.
Rotation in Office, that adj captandum, noised
in the ears of the people, has ended by eject
ing the faithful, honest and capable from place,
and substituting in their stead creatures will
ling to prostitute every principle of honor and
honesty for the purpose Of retaining their
places, by doing the bidding Of their official
patrons. That such state Of things could
not long continue without exciting among
themselves quarrels for the spoils, was fore-
seen by many Of the opPosition-some OF
whom even went so far as to recommend
giving up the ship Of state to the pilots, or
rather pirates, that had her in command, and
waiting until sober reason should take the
place of madness and delusion, and the peo-
pie cry with one accord Tor reform in the true
sense of the vord There we're others, how
ever, who could not look calmly on and see
the wreck without an effort to prevent It, and
labored necessarily for practical REFORM
without being properly sustained BY other por-
tons of their party. Now, thank heaven
there is union and in union there is strength
and the quarrels and discussions between the
office-holders and Office expectants have ar
rived at that stage which will render victory
to the opposition certain. While Col. john
son has the feeling of the butt-enders and in
domitables, Forsyth is looking for the support
Of the silk stocking democracy.-Polk has
already put in his claim, backed by the legsla-
ture Of his state; and that each one of them
will endeavor to, mount the ladder and reach
the pinnacle is not to be questioned. All the
opposition has to do is.to go forth with one
mind and one hand, and the nation will be re-
deemed The victory in New York is but an
earnest of the victory that awaits US in $780,
provided no unhappy dissension takes place
to mar our prospects.

From the Genera Obserrer

gr AT the session of 1884, ALL the Fan Buren,
members of Congress from this State ,roted AGAINST
the SUB-TREASURY BILL. In the house of
representatives containing nearly two hundred and
fifty members no more than about THIRTY voted
for il. Now the Van Buren, party are ALL in IA
ror Of it, and put 1t forth the issue between them
selves and the real democracy OF the country, TO be
decided at the approaching election. 1t was then
denounced almost unanimously by the Van Buren,
party as disorganiZng and revolutionary" as
changing the whole system of our government"
and calculated 10 expose the national treasure 10
plumber by an hundred hands where one cannot
reach it." These predicted evil tendencies recon-
mended the measure to the grace and favor of Van
Buren,; and he accordingly introduced it into prac-
ticc without waiting for the authority Of law TO do
so, and Mr.. Cambreleng declared on the floor Of
Congress, that it then in operation and should
continue until ls4l in spite OF the lamentations here
Treasury has been Numbered by an hundred
hands," of about three millions of dollars.
Fellow-citizens, remember that all the honest and
wise men Of all parties have recently warned you in
the most solemn and impressive language against
the destructive tendencies Of this ill-omened mea-
sure; remember that il was universally opposed by
the whole people OF this State; remember also that
Mr.. Van Buren, suddenly embraced it, to the utter
establishment OF NIL his northern friends, and with
indecent haste declared that II was the measure
which should distinguish his administration and
that he would SINK sctm Nth IT." Remember
further, that on receiving the orders of Van Buren,,
the loco-foco federal party, with FIX Governor Mar
cy and the three walled Stale printer at its head,
wheeled "to left-about," and, eating their own
words, and belying all their former sentiments on

Remarkable Series of THetts and Escapes By small
Lad.---A few days since John Z. Hunt, who keeps
refractory at 39i South street, New York. came TO
the lower Office and related the following extraordi-
nary adventures, performed by lad Ia years of age,
named Joseph illness, who was recently servant in
his refectory Some time in September he had
suspicious that the lad was in the habit Of plfering
from his ILL., which small operations he detected and
soon put stopto Shortly after, Liness broke into
his refeclory, after II was closed al night and rob-
bed Il Of S25 and on being accused OF the thet
knowledged H. and was semi 10 the House OF Refuge.
On Wednesday night Mr.. Hunts refectory
again broken open and robbed Of 1871 in bank notes
and silver, and from some circumstances IL was
ccrtaned that illness was the burglar. On Thurs
day evening Mr.. Hunt found him, and gave him in
charge Of Waterman who took him 10 the watch
house about o'clock in the morning he managed
TO escape from the LIST district watchhouse, and be-
fore daylight had third lime succeeded in breaking
open Mr. Hunts reieclory and robbing the Till OF S6
IN small bills and silver, when he was discovered
and taken into custody. On being brought TO the
police office, he confessed all the robberies he had
perpetrated and was committed 10 prison. In the
course OF the forenoon, of the officers OF the
Court OF Sessions discovered illness attempting 10
escape from his cell, having succeeded in pushing
his body, up 10 his shoulders feet foremost through
the airhoe or window. But for this accidental dis
covery, he would have undoubtedly made his exit
from the prison, and perhaps again broken open his
late masters premises, He was then Immediately
sent back his old quarters the House of Refuge,
from whence he first escaped by undermining the
wall.
