NEXT MONDAY

Is the day the redoubtabie champions of the
Administration, WILLIAM SMITH, of Culpep-
er, THOMAS ]. RANDOLPH, of Albemarle, and
JOHN LETcHER, of Rockbridge, and probably
some others, are to address the People of
Augusta, by invitation of their friends here.
on the questions at issue between the two
great parties. We expect they will be met
by Gov. BARBOUR, ]. $. PENDLEToN, of Rap
pahannock, and probably some other stran-
gers; but, should there be none on the WHO
side from abroad, We have full confidence in
the ability of our own citizens, Messrs. BALD
WIN, NICHE, STU ,RT, KINNEY and PATERSON,
to meet and measure ances with them. An
animated discussion may be anticipated, and
we would urge every voter in the county to
attend.
GOV. Barbour arrived heio on M0ndoS last,
and is now at the Augusta Springs.
A foolish story has been set afoat, which
we are grieved to learn, for the credit of our
county, there are some persons silly enough
to believe, that number of individuals about
Staunton have determined to prevent Mr..
SMITH from speaking We can assure all
those who put any faith in this story, that
there is not respectable citizen of Stauntop.

plot, but do his utmost to put it down, and
punish those engaged in it, should the at
tempt be made.

~ An animated political discussion took
place at Fincastle on Monday the 10th in
slant, between VIM. c. Rives, Esq. and Jas.
Mcdowell. Esq. of Rockbridge. There
were supposed to be not less than fifteen hun
dred persons present. The discussion was
opened by Mr.. Rives at IL o'clock, and the
whole day was consumed, the speakers alter
mating so as to divide the time equally be-
tween them. The Fincastle Democrat of
course claims complete triumph for its
champion, Mr.. McDowell-It SAYS Mr.. Rives
was '.completely used up" But cores
pendent of the Buchanan Journal, who was
present, gives wholly different account of
it. The usinr- according In his version ,r.as

last we heard Of him, he was PRESSING his
way, with brow erect and spirit undaunted,
into the South Western counties-haviDq ar
ranged to address the people of Smyth on
the llth-those Of Washington on the 18th
and the people of Russell on the 10th.
we would just suggest to our loco foco
brethren that it is rather impolitic in them to
be making such cannibals, as they usually do,
of their orators. Every now and then we
hear OF some one of them clicking up" or
''demollshing" an unlucky Wing. If true, it
would be in bad taste to boast of it-but not
being so, it is positively ridiculous. Their
we agree, are destrucfive-but the
effects of their popular harangues, like those
OF Hudlbras's gun, are more generally to be
seen In the rebound than the aim.

THE DYING YEAH

THE DYING YEAR.
ssMdneh Mass for the Dying Year, Is the striking title
rofessor Lonrfsiiow's h Psalm OF Lf in the last Kuc
.bockc.. Ii is exceedingly beautiful und spr!ed the follow
ng stan2as viii show.
Yes, the year is growing old,
And hts eye is pale and hisared;
Death, with frosty hand aud cold,
P9cks the old man by the beard,
Sorey-sorely.
The leaves are falling, falling,
Solemnly and slow;
Cav! cav! the rocks calling;
II Is sound of we!
A sound of wo!
Through woods and mountain passes,
The winds like anthems roll;
They ar chanting sglsmn masses,
Saying "l:ay for this poor SOUL
Pray-prar!"
And the hooded clouds, like friars,
Tell their bead III drops OF rain,
And pa,ter their dJlcful prayers;
But il Is all in vain
All N vain.
There he stands in the foul weather,
The foolish, fond Old Year,
Crownd with wild blowers and with heather
Like weak, despised Lear
\ hng-a king!
To the crimson woods hc saith,
And the voice gentle and low,
or the sofl air, like daughters breath,
spray do not mock me 50,
Do no; laugh n, met"
And the day is dead
Cold in his arms il lies:
No stain from its breath is spread
Over the CLASSY skies,
No mist stain!
Then ioo the Old Year die,b.
And the forests utter moan,
Like the voice of one who crelh
In the wilderness Alone
..vex mol his caos,!''
Then comes with awful roar,
Gatha.:n. and sounding on,
The Storm-xini from Labrador,
Tie wind Eurocydon,
The sto!m-wind!
Howl. howl. and from thc forest
The red leaves swept AWAY
Would the Sins that ihou ablorrcst,
Soul! could 50 decay,
And
