path
Have gaiy sprung, and brightly beamed, cen mid
the tempest's wrath.

or all the deep and burning thoughts that dwell with

But look upon the counenance-that rarely doth
The secrets of the inmos soul do there an impress

From the Fair brow of fancy. joy golden radiance
A halo bright of happness-as perfect as it seems
But not thus best and happy all of tender years;
Alas a las! that childhood should have 'aught to dc

Too oft ON the young face the stamp of grief
Sume present or approaching i'll hath cast its shad

But on the aged countenanco we read of care lte;
The records there of many years. and each with
anguish rife:
The hopes the Joys, the wishes too Of other days
are fled
Tie friends who shared those joys and hopes, are all

way;
The beam OF hope within their eyes is but Dor

From the Great Fount Of life and light to cheer
the darkening gloom
Which gathers round their thorny way in passing to

Upon the face of middle age what varied passions

The glance of love- of PRIDE OF orn, of envy, and
of hate.
How can IN words Deep changeless hate be half so

And envy too 1.-The bane of all that's social upon earth,
Than which no deadlier foe to human happiness had

How plainly doth it show its evil workings in the

How sadly is its glory wrecked-it beauty all de-

| From the repeated decisions Of the
whole people in opposition to NatioheI
Bank, and their current experience in re-
iatron to the State bank dcptste system.
Mr.. Van Buren, was led to the following
conclusions, as indicating the true policy
OF the country: That the Gcneral Gopern-
tent SaoaId manage its omn finances hy
agents responsible TO itself: That the pub
hctmoheys should be sacredly kent for
public uses: And that upon every consid-
Grafton of righ, and SQUAD public policy,
banking institations should be managed,
directed and controlled By the States, the
power which creates them, and TO which
they are alone responsible. The present
Administration acknowledges no claim on
the part Of banks TO connection with. or
control over. the constituted authorities; !;
no does il recognise as proper, connec-
ton with, or control over the banking in

Their the hostility nor the special favor OF
The General Government, any more than
do the farEsEs, the mechanics, or the day
laborers Of the country; that each and all
shall equally enjoy the bcniicent pro-
lection Of the laws.
Upon this platform stand the Democra-
cy Of the Union! From il they cannot be
driven, Tor they feel conscious Of sustain
ing the "right, the just, and the true, in
Legislation" and Government. The cause
of the Democracy is an open handed
cause; its foundations are laid in honesty
and truth. Democracy respects the in

integrity Of the mass ufthe people. |.

ceal nothing. The Democratic party. Is
