ALARMING The State Paper publishes what it

Committee. We hope every Van Buren, paper in

readers more truth than they usually find in the
columns Of the Administration papers IL is A..

Paper-when its own party has for years organize
themselves in a similar manner; and is, now, be-
You'd much doubt, so organized for next fall Our
great fear is that the Wings will not organize as
they ought-that they will be too Indifferent, and
be as they were last fall, met by their opponents
iuily marshaed in every corner Of the State. If
the Wings will but wolk half as much as the Van
Buren, pariy-wlll organize half as efficiently as
their opponenis-lhey will IN so doing guarantee
a Harrison majority of not less than six thousand
in the Stae-maugro all the efforts Of the Custom
House clan against them.
If any body has a Circular of this kind-we saw

tight and truth where has been rropas ated
by the paid presses of the Admns,ration-do Il,

OF acting right, was the reader of of the papers
well paid for It's service to the office holders and
OF none other. by some means he induced to
read an independent truth telling print, and IN a
few weeks declared himself TO be for Harrison aud
the Wing cause. While reading nothing but the
V. u. subsidized paper he says he thought all was
wel'-thai the stories about extravagancc-ot cor
ruption-of the destruction of the currency, aud Of
oppression of the people-were "whig lies"-but
lie now sees that the Van Buren, party have been
IN the majority in Congress, and in most of The
o'a'e LegIslaiures-that we had ten years ago a
good currency-and he thinks it right that those
who have caused these evils should be held &C
countable for them. He is ashamed that he
permitted himself to be thus deceived by the Van

Let each subsc rlber pass this number of the Cal

that he may read John Dsvis's Speech. The Adj
ministration, by their pensoned presses ci,cu-
lating so many untruths that many, who do not
understand that their papers rewarded FOR up

if they have light, will act right hereafter. An
intelligent people will no. be deceived when they
know the right We wish to truth and justice

ELEcTIoN IN DETRorT We hotit6.that The Van

in Detroit. BY some division among the Wings
their candidate did not receive the full of the

majority for Aldermen 1--WE copy from the Official
returns) is lO9-more than double their maj last
fall. The whole truth is much better than mis-.
represer tation.

GREAT LOCO FOCO VICTORY IN
fNIlIG co

The Tory papers shouting Justify about
great victory they say they have gained in Chicago,
having elected their Mayor Icy I66 majority. They
are welcome to such victory. Two years ago
Douglas, the Loco Foco candidate for Congress,
had 500 majority over Stewart, Wing, in Chicago.
Now their majority is cut down to 166, showing q
Wing gain of660 in less than two years.
The Gi"Je glo,ifes considerably over the muni
cipal election at Detroit. The Detroit Daily AID
ver,iser says, "The Wing majority in De,roit-tak
ing the Aldermen as the test-has MORE THAN
DOUBLED SINCE LAST FALL"
The Nashville Wing says, we risk little IN say
ing That the few adherents of the Administration
in the business circles OF that city, are growing in
different as its fate They are sick and tired of
humbug xperments, and while the pride of con
sstency may for time deter them from an open
remuneration of Loco Focoism, their hearts are
already with us, and in November their potes will
be ditto.

ROME


By HENRIETTA PRESCOTT.
1t is the days last, lingering hour,
A glory still is lent
To broken wall, and massive tow'r,
And time-stained battlement.
The rudy light has not yet passed
From vast St Peters dome;
Fair is the smile that heaven casts
On Rome imperial Rome!-
Imperial still although no more
Her legions pass from shore to shore,
Led by great conquerers,-
Although above the mighty dead
Her humbled eagle bows his head,
And mid the columns, where, of old,
Her children's wondrous feats were told,
The moaning nightwind stirs:
Imperial still, though Time has rent
Proud palace, hall, and monument.
No more upon the Theirs banks
Are ranged her armies countless ranks,-
An altered fate is hers!
Her once victorious banner furled,
Her sons who governed half the world,
Her learned Senator's
All these are of the things long gone,
Yet she is still mighty one!
She ruleth still realm of thought;
By Pilgrims are her loved walls sought
Still at her name the fond heart thrills
Rome! Empress of the Seven Hills!

Glass WEAvING.-Few are aware that glass
is now woven with silk, although its brittle ma.
ture would appear to render such method oil
manufacturing it impossible. The fact, howey-
err. is indisputable; the new material being SUD
stituted for gold and silver thread, than either oil
which it is more durable, possessing besides the
advantage of never furnishing What IS teen
nicallv called the warp, that is, the long way o
anv loom-manufactured article, is composed o.
silk. which forms the body and ground ork, on
which the pattern in glass appears as the weit OF
cross work The requisite fexibiity oil glass
thread for manufacturing purposes IS to be as
cribed to its extreme fneness, as not less than 3O
or 60 of the original threads (produced by steam,
engine power are required to form one thread
for the loom. The process is slow, as not more
than ward can be manufactured in II hours
The work, however, is extremely beautiful, ana
comparatively cheap, insomuch as no similar
stuff where bullion is really introduced can be
purchased for anything like the price at which
this is sold added to this it is, as far as the glass
is concerned imperishable. Some adm%aole
specimens of the manufactured article may be

CASTING BREAD UPON THE WATERs.-At
time when Bacon, the English Sculptor, was in
circumstances too limited to afford studios and
shops upon scale answering to his wants, one
Johnson, builder, who had known him when
Young, prepared these large scale, and, as a
first intimation of what he had been doing,
waited on the sculptor, described the premises,
and babe him take possession tits related that
Bacon was surprised-even alarmed. 81 cam

seI'll manage all that" replied the benevolent
builder. $50 remove-I shall never look for

than capable Of repaying me-" This occurred in
I774. The sculptor took possession Of his new
house, with his new wife, for he was just mar
ried; and of his new studios and work shops, and
went on and prospered. In the mean time, his
friend became banker, and in the fluctuations
of business, long afterwards, a run was expected
to be made upon his house. Bacon heard of this,
and placed forty thousand pounds at his disposal,
and strengthened him so that he weathered the
storm in safety. He had not forgotten the kind
ness of his friend.
