As sweet as e'er, bloomed in Eden's

For thine own sake accept ia magical

For the most caloas heart to its powers

And owns by It's heavings the sensations

Accept it-present it to that lovely one,
Without whom-it were better your lite

Whose charms and whose graces ana
whose witching smiles,
Whose love thrilling accents, whose in-
nocent wiles,
Have kindled that spark, tho latent for
years,

Like alcohol cast in furnace of heat,
Would burst and echo, would ruin repeat.
Not sympathy's tears, but reciprocal
signs,
Still breathing hope of tenderest ties,
Would calm the heart-burnings, to Z
gentler fame,
Till fate in her freak, should decide on
the same.
Present it to her twill produce those
dear signs,
For which at her shrine your devoted
heart lies;
And nothing can sooth rdeep throbine

Till at Hymen's grave alter, your vows
do attest.
Then give ito givcl tito the girl Of

a compass it wonld be still worse to aban-
don the field because more money and
troops are required.
The proposition TO furnish the emigrant
Indians with enlightened forms of govern
ment, proceed from laudabe desire for
their welfare; but the task of adapting
them to the circumstances aad peculiarly
ieis OF the several tribes, if not altogether
impracticable, will be without question the
most tedious and perplexing ever yet un-
dertaken concerning them. We have no
expectation that the red men can be brought
to live tremendously under any general
form of civilized government, with toll
cradle degree of freedom, within the presl
ent century. If they are not left to their
ancient prejudices, and the slow, very 81 "
operation of religious and literary in<truc-
ton, they must be reduced at once I 1b-
solute military slavery, in order to he fasc-
ed into civilization. The latter for MANY
PlainFeasons We presume will never be at
ren- bed, or recommended; anci ire former
must be the work Of generations. DUR
ing all which time our frontiers, If left as
unprotected as they now are, will be ex-
posed to the constant and bloody inroads
of cruel and falthIess foe-a foe who, so
long as he remains himself unciviized, will
believe that he owes TO the white man moth
ing but his wrongs and the firearms with
which he reyenges them. We think the
President could not have loo strongly urged

TYPE STIcKERs.-We casually men,

instances are not rare in which those bred
in the profession of printing have become
distinguished and honored. We say moth.
ing of Franklin, the beacon light of the
craft, we have in our day more than one
instance of this honorable Distinction
Isaac Hill, the Governor of New Hamp-
shire, was journeyman printer; Samuel
Armstrong, late Mayor of this city. was
once journymau printer; Mr.. Knapp, the
Secretary of the State of Vermont, was
printer. And what is of more conse
quence in1he editorial profession. some of
the most distinguished were regularly
bred in the craft. Our neighbor Greene,
the popular editor of the Morning Post
was ragged little roller boy. MIR. Ho-
mer of the Gazette was brought up on plea
and BREWER. We recollect many wears
since, of seeing tow-headed overgrown
boy in an obscure printing Office in YER
