Sound christian principle repels those as

death is the messenger of the eternal life;
and the grave repository for the human

necessary change; and at the summons Of
The last trump, come forth a spiritual and
immortal body. Good taste then as we'll

The news from New York, according to
the Correspondent of the Charleston Cou-
rier, is Frightening for the Administration.
The same CORE spondent says in regard to
Virginia, that although many things favor
the opposition in that State, that she will
hardly go for FTP, TYLER and the Tariff"
after repudiating HENRY CLAY. Accord
ing to the opinion Of an intelligent writer,
whose latter we published in tire last Noun,
taineer, the administration will be sustain
ed by the votes Of North Carolina and Vir-
ginia both. This writer seems perfectly
impartial, and gives his opinions without
prejudice, after having travelled through
those States. The Federalists, we trust
will be routed again as they were foTty
years ago when old JOHN ADAMS and his
supporters fell, we hope, to rise no more;
unless the people, instead of improving in
their love of Republican principles SHALL
after the lapse of forty years, bow their
necks to General HARRISON, the Federal
minioa of the elder ADAMs.-MountaineeT.

The following quaint thought from an
old collection of epigrams, will close my
quotations.
"Ar dainty meats do defy,
Which feed men fat as swine;
He is frugal man indeed,
Who ON leaf can dine.
He needs 10 napkin for his hands,
His fingers ends to wipe,
That keeps his kitchen in a box,
And roast meat in pipe.

We have been urged on to the adoption
of this undertaking. by many of our poll

hatred degrading to human nature, and to
the respect which should be entertained
by citizens of the same country, however
wide may be the difference in their polltl-

misrepresentalions and falsifcations which
may be resorted to, in order to prejudice
the sensitive mind, TO deceive the unwary,
and to lead astray the unsuspecting: In
this undertaking, we hope to receive a

Mr., Editor: The following lines were writ
while meditating upon the death of the Rev. j
C., faithful minister of the South Carol
Conference, who died while absent from his fam
attending Camp meeting in the Waccapaw
cuit-you have them ut your disposal-"do W
seemeth good unto thee"
His duty called, he could not stay,
Though from "sweet home" he had to part.
Many long and weary day,
To leave those nearest to his heart
AS he poured forth the parting prayer,
All felt as though it was the last;
He prayed that God for them would care,
And him prepare to meet deaths blast.
While tears rolled down his furrowed face,
He rose and bade them all "farewell;"
Told them to trust Gods holy grace,
For through it, all would yet be WE'LL.
His dear companion silent stood,
With fearful eye, and bursting heart;
His children promised "to be good"
And cried to sec papa depart.
One long embrace, and once again,
Farewell" the sad, unwelcome word,
But why describe the parting pain,
The mournful sigh, which will be heardl
We never like to hear "farewell,"
IT'S sure our sympathies to move;
And sounds so like the 'mounful kneI,n
When used by those we dearest love.
lie now is gone-see how they gaze
On him, as he withdraws from sight;
Then look around them with amaze,
And sadly feel that alrs not right.
But now, as mournful as they feel,
His last advice comes to their mind,
For hear them asking while they kneel,
In Heaven resting place to- find.
Hours, days, weeks, rolled slowly past,
And still no tidings of him came,
Each one began to fear at last,
To mention his beloved name
But hope is now revived once-more,
They see the post approaching fast!
And sure enough for them it bore,
A letter from ''papa" at last.
ALI. now, they crowd around with ZEAL
But sec! they start from it with dread;
My God! tits so! that large "black seal"
Too plainly tells them she is dead"
The mournful truth at once they saw,
The dearest object of their love
Lay near tho dreary "Waccamaw,"
Till called to dwell in realms above.
One piercing and heart-rending cry, :.
Then to the "Widow's God" sho prayed,
To look with pity from on high,
And grant them all his heavenly aid.
He heard-and with the balm Of love,
Consoled their almost broken hearts
Then gave this promise from above.
Which consolation still imparts:-
sHe was was buried Immediately on the bank
the Waccamaw.

THE LONG HOME.
Where speed those crowds that are rushing by,
In the forms of mortal men,
Like clouds that feet DER wintry sky,
And arc never seen again2
The aood-gate yields, and the stream still rolls,
Its deep and unbroken wave,
What living tide of thoughtless souls,
Pours into the noiseless grave!
Hopes fambcau lights, and Times garland's grac
No halls which those shadows tread,
What dreary vaults what an awful place!
Is the long home of the dead!
There foes who once on the battle field,
In the smoking carnage died;
Their deep feshed swords, to one victor yield,
And are resting side by side.
The mothers heart of its care beguild,
By her nursling's placid rest;
Can know not there that her long-lost child,
Is slumbering on her breast.
No revelling sounds of joy proceed
From the last paternal dome
A Fathers heart must be dead indeed,
His son not to welcome home
Wrath burns not there, as the lov'd ones lips,
The balm Of their sweetness give
To rival woms-that the viest sips,
And all banquet on and live!
That iron chain which for years long past,
Encumbered the earth-born slave,
By no gentle hand is burst at last,
For the freedom of the grave.
Freedom indeed! No. Most fearful spells
Numberlcss prisoners keep,
H. bondage vile of earth's narowest cells,
And links of the endless sleep.
But faith perceivcs to the Heavn in view,
A gate thro' the dark, cold sod,
Where soar the wings of the blessed few,
And thence is the mount of God. P.

Mr.. Editor: On perusing the "Shorl
Chapter on Tobacco" in your last number,
I observe that the witty and humorous eu.
logist complains that poesy has overlook
ed the claims of that invaluable plant, both
beneficial and grateful to so large por-
ton of the world, to which Spenser, in the
.Fsery Queen" applied the majestic cpl
thet of divine. We find, however, that
some votaries Of the Muses. have, at va.
rious times made, it their theme, and
given celebrity in altisonous strain. I re-
collect these few lines Of passage quoted
by Brand, from an imitation of Young, by
Hawkins Browne, ESD
"Cfitics avaunt, Tobacco is my theme.
Timble like hornets at the blasting steam;
And you, court insects, futter not too near
It's light, nor buzz within its scorching sphere.
Polio, with fame like thine, my verse inspire,
So shall the Muse from smoke elicit fire."
+ In Francis QuaTles' F" "Emblems," one hi
eroglyphic represents the being who with
him is the representative of human nature
or Of mankind at large, is seated upon a
globe, (the world, to which he is chained
by the leg. The following is the com,
mencement of the poem:-
"Flint-hearted Stoics, yon whose marble eyes
Contemn wrinkle, and whose souls despise
To follow nature's'too affected passion;
Or travel in the regent walk of passion;
Whose rigid hearts disdain to shrink at fears,
Or play at fast and lose with smiles and tears;
Come, burst your spleens with laughter to behold
A new found vanity, which days Of old
Near knew: a vanity that has beset
The world, and made more slaves than Mahomet,
That has condemned to the servile yoke
Of slavery, and made US slaves TO smoke.
But stay! why tax thus our modern times,
For newborn follies, and for newborn crimes2 .
Are we sole guilty, and the first age free2
No: they were smoked and shaved, as well as we.

But very smoke and what's more smoke than pleasue1

THE CHANGED ISSUE"

Our contemporary inquiries Of the Central
Committee " what changed issue" is pre-
scented by the name of General Harrison?
We will answer it for them, although a
portion of one Of the subjects of their ad-
dress appears in our columns Of to-day,
and will speak for itself :
|. This is a single.handed, UNlNcuMpEHEr
race. There is hence no danger Of its
going into " the House''--the fears and pre-
JUDGES concerning which did more TO elect
Martin Van Buren, than any thing else.
:. Ii THIS RACE, one Of the candidates Is
pledged to the great republican purpose OF
cutting up the patronage of the President,
and doing away the inducements to its cor
rupt employment, by ESTABLISHING the pre-
cedent of but ONE TERN.
8. Mr.. Van Buren, and all his leading
friends were AGAINST the sub-treasury in his
former canvass. They are nov for it,.
4. In his last message, Mr.. Van Buren,
so CONSTITUTES the Constitution as to vest in
THE PRESIDENT a part Of the LEGr sLATIvF
power whereas the very first section OF
the constitution enacts that GALL the le-
gislative powers herein granted, shall be
vested in Senate and House Of Represent,
atives."
S. Mr.. Van Buren voted and spoke
ngains, applying Bankrupt Law to STATE
BANKS whilst in the Senate, and was OF
course supposed to be opposed to this
monstrous and unconstitutional measure
during his FIRST canvass for the presidency
His FIRST act, at the extra session, was to
RECOMMEND THIS VERY measure, in connec.
ton with the Sub-treasury
Lastly--Mr. Van Bulen had not been
TRIED at the last election. He has since
been fully tried, AMI all candid men admit
HE will not do. The motto Of one Of the
Tippecanoe Clubs which we have seen
and which was composed entirel y of mer
who had voted for Van Buren, is" 4
CHANGE we CANT be woRsTED-we MAY bt
BETERED."
@ls our contemporary now satisfied
that it don't require the PEOPLE to change II
order to vote against Mr.. Van Buren, il
this race--but that il will require them tc
change, as Mr.. Van Buren, has, if they dc
vote for him We voted for Mr.. Val
Buren,, and his is at least our view, an(
our vindication.
