From The Baltimore Transcript,


MAINE BATTLE SONG.
Come, sogers! take your muskets up,
And grasp your faithful rifles;
We're gwoin to fight the red-coat men,,
Who call US yankees ~trifes."
Bring out the big gun made of brass.
Which forces July thunder;
Bring out the flag of Bennington,
And strike the foe with wonder.
Well lick the red coats any how.
And drive them from the border
The loggers are awske-and ell
Await the Gin'ral's order:
BRITANNIA shall NOT rule the MAINE,
Nor shall she rule the water,
They've sung that song full long enough.
Much longer than they ouoHTER.
The Aroostook's a right slick stream.
Has nation sights Of woodlands.
And hang the feller that would lose
His footing on such good lands.
And all along the boundary line,
There's pasturing for cattle.
But where that line ofboundary Is,
We must decide by battle.
We do not care about the land,
But they shan't hook it from US;
Our country, right or wrong, we cry
No budging or compromns.
So--beat the sheep-skin-blow the fife,
And march in ira ming orderi
Our way is through the wilderness,
And all along the border.

FRoM SoUTH AMERIcA.-The Boston
Transcript Of Tuesday evening contains
the following extract of a letter, from Rio
J~aneiro, dated Feb. LIST -
"There is a French frigate now ID port
which will sail on day after tomorrow for
the river, with materials on board for the
purpose of bombarding or taking Buenos
Ayres. The French are determined to
assault the place. The Government infor-'
med the English Admiral Of their inten-,
tons, and the latter despatched a vessel
which arrived yesterday, with orders tor
the English Squadron to proceed down, to
protect the English residents there, other
wise TO receive them on board. Before
you receive this, Buenos Ayres will be in
the hands Of the French, or else the for
mer will have yielded to the demand OF
the latter. This you can depend upon -
being correct. Yours truly.
Under the head OF Marriages, we find

Snow commenced falling in this vicinity on Sa-
lurday night last, and continued until nine O'Clock,
Monday morning, covering the ground with depth
of nearly foot. Owing to the obstruction upon the
rail road and other high ways, no matt had reached
this city up to yesterday afternoon since Saturday
night The cars which left this city Sunday morn
ing, at six o'clock, reached no farther than Belts
vile, miles, where they and their passengers have
been detained, being unable to so forward or come
back.
The sleigh bells have been ringing very merily in
our city, Tor the last three days, and every thing
having has been put in requisiton to enjoy
the snow while il lasts. "|.
A similar snow storm visited New England lasi
Sunday week, obstracng the rail roads and mai,s

city has been ,hawing since FELL and hope that
this complete interruption Of the mails may not be
of long duration .@",

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER PRINCIPLES.

| CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER PRINCIPLES.
Mr. Vanderpoel says in debate, that cir
cumslances alter principles, as well as cases.
The truth Of this the loco-foeo party have
repeatedly illustrated. Their principles are
capedients. y.
The circumstances of the banks, altered
the principles of the Van Buren, party in re-
gard TO the currency.
The circumstance Of Mr.. Van Buren's
being president Of the U. S. altered his prin-
ciples touching bankrup, laws.
The circumstance Of being once in power
altered the principles Of that party in relation
to one Presidential term, the appointment of
members of Congress to office, and the ex-
penditures of public money.
The circumstance of votes being wanted
to give Mr. Van Buren, a majority in the or
ganization OF the House of Representatives,
altered the principles Of that party in regard
to State Rights, and the supremacy Of the
laws and the Constitution.
The circumstance of their being in want Of
money alters the principles OF that party i'm re-
lation to the credit system, which they Illus
trate by a resort to the exploded idea of Trea-
sury Notes.
The circumstance Of accidental power al
tiers the principles Of that party in relation to
the appropriate sphere of executive power,
and the control of the public revenues.
Circumstances, of various sorts, have alter
ed all,he principles of administration to which
the Van Buren, party stood pledged when they
came into power; and, if they are. permitted
to have the power continued in their hands,
that circumstance, we fear, will also alter the
very form Of government under which we
have lived-if, indeed, it is not already alter
ed. 1t is the opinion Of more than one emf
nent statesman that this government has al
ready been practically REvoLuTIoNIzED by
Executive power and the spirit OF CENTRAL
ISM and CONSOLIDATION.

not often parallcled in the annals of genleel

himself as a NJ ississippan applied for lodgin
at respectable boarding house in Race

one Of the best apartments, for which he
readily agreed 20 pay literally, as pleasant
accommodations were of more consequence

Tho new lodges soon made rapid progress
IN securing tho good will of the inmates,
particularly Of several young ladies', To one
OF whom he presented a diamond ring and to
another gold watch.
in the course OF some days he proposed To
take The diamond ring to be marked, aud
with great gailaniry Offered TO the young
ladies' to have any jewelry belonging to
them handsomely ornumented with the mi.
tials OF their names, at his expense The
cEcdulous girls upon this mustered their

camped, not forgetting to take The gold
watch with him. II was soon discovered tina.
