When hest with health ard friends, and fair
Our outward prospects Elm

Gilded With joy brigh, beam
Then can the grateful heart rejoice
In fer,ent ihankfuness.
That I'eaven with other blessings, sheds

But when the wild. Overwhelming storms
OF grief and SORROW rage,
And life seems naught but suffering.
From youth to hoary age;
When hopes fat light mid darkning clouds
Sheds but palIid ray,
And friendships purest strongest ties
Are rudey rent away
And GOODNESS gathers Ger the brows
Where love so lately reigned,
Filling the tones so late aituned
To sympathy un6gned,
Or when the stern and chilling hand
Of unreenting death
Hath taken all the fairest flowers
From true affections wreath -
Then faith declines. and doubt and fear
And sadness cloud the SOUL
And, Ger It waves of furious wrath,
Seem unrestrained to roll.
Yet even in the hour Of gloom
Should we in God rejoce,
Whose word snhdues the tempest's might,
Whose all pervadns voice.
In wisdom, over all things rules.
And deep within the soul
Whispers, upon thy God rely.

Can we not then in darkness trust
The power lha, guides our way
Whose watchful eye na'er slumbereth,
Whose love hath no decay?
Shall not our souls in Him rejoice.
Whose goodness changeth not,
Who still the same, in joy or gloom.

CANDID CONCESSIONS.

The n. Y Sunday Morning News, a mhig paper,
after having once spoken decidedly as to Harrison
prospects of success, at length comes out candidy,
and acknowledges that his chance is dubious. The
N6wS regards the Sub-lrcasury law as having SET
tied the policy of the nation, let who w be Presi-
dent, ill its influence on the business of the coull-
try, shall have been tested. And, MS though com
PEELED to give it praise, comedies that " business is
rcyiying-money is becoming easier, &c. and no
matter what is the policy of the country, for the
next four years, if il is only seHlci we can accom-
MEDIATE ourselves to circumstances and get along
with it," And the .NipS also comedies that when
prices become c1ualizcd, what the farmer loses on
his wheat, he gains in the prices of other things

sircs, not be too much eatcd with hopes of sue

STATE ELECTION.

Far be it from this press to speak of the late
election in this State, in terms either of serious en-
ulrlion or dispaagcment. 1t is enough that we
state the facts Of the case. That nothing however,
can be more childish than the clustering and tenn
pcsluous shouts of the ftdcralists, in relation to
serving of all parties. Their victory consists in re-
tanning their power and influence in State, where
they have ruled with desohling sway for many
wears They have gained no real asccndency,-
unless il be in relation TO two members of Congress,
because the State was theirs before. The prin-
cipaI noise, parade and nom cnse eXhibi ed by our

Dragging and swelling about their late ''triunphanl
victory in Vermont" they have only increased
their equmeyGtc number, exhibited the evidences
of the ovcrshadowing influence of rank, naked fed
or'ism, with Horace Everett at the head, in the
IL fhed State of Vermont We had fondly hoped
that our democratic friends, who, by the arllul
Iwisfcations oflnlc " National Republicans" so
raled had got inlerminged with the Wings, would
see their error and return to the true fold of the
leflersonlan democracy; and demonstrate their re-
,urn, The pos during The late election But it
seems our au,icipaions were hasty, and the many
esteemed friends and compnnions of other days, are
doomed by their political decisions, to serve yet
longer in the ranks Of their former opponents
Heaven grant that the residue of their seryitude
may be short
Putwe are by no means hopeless, The mist
which has come up before the public eye, will
mus'-soon be dis>ipatcd, The dust and smoke,
kicked up and continued by ponic-makcrs and ca

DEVELOPMENTS AND FACTS,

Every mail, nay, every hour dnnishes our sur
prise in rcgnrd 10 the recent unusual triumph of
whiggery in Vermont. Disclosures are coming to
| light continually showing how truth was suppress
ed, and errors most indusriosly circulated by the
nntirng, onnprcsen activity ofthc party in power!
Every available opportunity was inproved--every
expense in"nrred-evcry measure vigorously and
even violently adopted, which promised succcss to
the cause of Ranks speculation, deness and fraud
In the first place. every habi,aiion, from the pala-
of wealth to the cottages Of pcnury, was if ac-
ccssihle, flooded with papers, speeches. pictures,
handbil's, &c. disseminating laschoods IN every

poriunilies were coureousy waited upon, and af-
ter being well soopei and sigGe}, were tearfuy

In the next place, every man who was involved
in debts, TO any amount, was made an object of
sympathy and regard, even BY those who by cum
ming and management, had drawn him into embar
rassment; and, if by signs and tears he could be
made TO attribute his troubles to the National ad-
minlstrdiion, and pledge himself TO vote the whig

have been obtained in this manner And what was
least to have been expected, the phig part of our
Census act, (being introduced by a wing member
OF Congress, Mr. Garland,) authorizing Inarshas
to ask questions concerning property and business
for the good Of all, has been seized upon as step
to a direct tar and thousands have
been frightened by that shadow of a bugbear.
Finally, considering tho unusual, unexampled
means which have been employed and the immense
sums of British and American funds expended, we
cease to marvel at the federal success in this State

Boosting, Dragging There are people in the world
who look up to " the master spirits the great
ones'--the dujJcd and iHel few, for most of their
information upon political subjects. They are too
busy, or neg igent, crcdulous TO put themselves
to the trouble of taking, reading, and comparing
newspapers, for that purpose. They go upon the
maxim that, q" sraws show which way the wind

the remarks of the knoWing ones whose sapient

And ii is both amusing and Illuminating to observe
the advantage which is taken of this gapihg pro-

obtain.-Why, they talk and swagger about, as
though the old gentleman had actually got possess

ing that, "every man of sense knows that Harrison

Van Buren," And, either on account of too sharp
appetles for ''the loaves and fishes of office or
for the sake of effect upon by-standerss, ''he big

hold such and such offices, and how long retain
