TO THE
TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE u. STATES.

Our country presents a new specta-
Gle for the contemplation of mankind.
A candidate for the Presidency is
asking the suffrages ofour people, and
at the came time refuses to answer the
questions they put 10 him for the Pur>
pose Of satisfying themselves as 10 The
principles and policy by which he will
be governed, if elected. With his own
conseu, committee is interposed be-
tween him and his countrymen, not TO
aid him in giving frank replies to their
reasonable inquiries, but to cut off di-
rect communication, and keep his opin-
ions from the public. A free and intel.
ligent people, whose precious right it is
to ask aud obtain the views ofevery man
who seeks their suflfages, upon every
topic appsriainng TO their government,
are blunlly told ,tat they shall not en-
joy this right, but shall take a candidate
for the Presidency upon trust. They are
asked..to relax that "eternal vigilance"
which is truly 'ihe price Of liberty and
blindly submit themselves, if not to a
king, who can do no wrong TO a Chief
Magistrate who assumes the attitude Of
responsibility, and surrounds himself
with ministers, even before the crown of
power has been placed on his heah
This candidate was nominated by a
convention, not because they considered
him the ablest man oftheir party, or at
all qualified for the station, but merely
because he had once been a General.
Having seen the heroic Jackson in the
chair of state, notwithstanding their un-
ceasing danunciations of "mililsry chief
tains,' they weakly expected 10 avail
themselves in their struggle for power,
of the same devotion and enthusiasm,
BY presenting the name Of another who
had worn the Uniform ofhis country and
attained the same rank. They did not
accord 10 the people sense enough 10
discriminate between the weak and in-
efficient chiehain, who, aHer series Of
military blunders, fortunately for his
country resigned his commission in the
midst of the war, and the real hero who
took it up and closed that war in a
blaze of glory at New Orleans.
! Under this fatal error, the convention

resolutions the principles which would
control the administration Of their cau-

FRIENDS TOGETHER.

We have been friends together,
In sunshine and in shade,
Since first beneath the chestnut trees
In infancy we played; .....
But coldness dwells within thy heart
A cloud is on thy brow;
We have been friends together
Shall slight word part US nowi
We have been gay together,
We have laughed at little jests /;
For the fount Of hope was gushing.
Warm and joyous in our breasts.
But laughter now hath fed thy lip,
And sulIen glooms thy brow;
We have heen gay together
Shall light word part US now1
We have been sad together--4ea
We have wept with bitter tears,
Ger the grass-grown grave, where slumber'd d
The hope of early years.
The voices which are silent there
Would bid thee clear thy brow;
We have been sad together
Oh what shall part us now2

SUM MER FLOW ERs.

BY Cs ds WAlEnmANs
Who loves not summer flowers?
Those children of the sod,
Brought by the dews and showers,
To lead our thoughts to God.
They people all the plain,
They greet US on the hill,
And glad our eyes again,
Beside the sparkling rill.
The mountain heights are bright
With many shining dye;
And CLEANS Of varied light
Flash on the smiling sky.
And letters scrolls from heaven,
In living brightness shinei
And hope, and joy is given,
In every blushing line.
An alphabet of love,
The budding leaves indite,
For angel hands above,
In such sweet language write.
For hearts that love them well
They've eioqnence and speech
And many awitching spell
Those summer blossoms teach.
IF angel thoughts they wreath,
Why may they not wreath oursi
Then let our bosoms breath
Their lovein summer flowers.

Ma WEE,TEa's SPEECH on II B~AAEsUPT
LAw.-The great Webster made a most pow
erful speech On this engrossing subject, on
the 18Th ult. The correspondent, Of the n.
Y. Morning Chronicle says:
Notwithstanding the heat OF the day the
attendance was immense. Owing 10 the
great length Of the speech we can only find
room for Mr.. Webs,er's concluding remarks.
at is now twenty years since You SIR"
said Mr.. w. addressing himself 10 the Vice
President, Sin your place IN the Senate,
prompted by your sagacity aud good sense.
AID more especially by that kindness ofheart
which outruns sasacitv,-5rought forward a
bill for the abolition ofimprisonment for debt.
Since then there has been a wonderful change
of opinion, and upon both sides Of the Allan
tic. No one would nov dare TO propose
Imprisonment for debt. There would be no
second or success attending such / PROPOSE
ton. England no longer imprisons for debt.
The States have nearly all abolished Imprlson-
ment Tor debt. Next to this subject came
the Bankrupt Bill, and it commended itself TO
the conscienccs and honors of men. Can
we 20, said he, 10 our beds, and lay our heads
upon our pillows and supplicate the Almighty
to forgive US our debts as we would be iorgiv-
en- by those who are our creditors, and re-
fuse TO do something 10 relieve the great
multitude Of men who arc begging assistance
at our handSl
Let US make jubilee-let US open the
prison door and set the prisoner free. Moth
ers and wives are passing feverish hours by
day and sleepless hours by night. Fathers
and husbands too, are careworn and nxiou
while we deliberate, and even inploriug the
passage Of the bill which is TO enable them
to give, as independent men, bread TO their
wives and children.
The conclusion of Mr.. Websier's speech
awakened The finer feelings OF every man who
heard him. Nothing could have been better
expressed in manner or in language, and the
appeal o! the unGortunate-the great honor
spoken ofin having public office -notf for itself.
but because it enabled men 10 do noble and
generous actions-every thought and every
word, had a force which told effectually with
every hearer."

JUDGING FROM APPEARANcE.-A coed story
is told by a Yankee editor, in Illustration of
the folly of judging from appearances. A
person who wore a suit of homespun clothes,
stepped into a house in Boston on some bu-
sIness where some ladies' were assembled in
an inner room. One OF the company re-
marked (in a low voice. though sufficiently
loud 10 be overheard by the Strangely that q
countryman was in waiting, and agreed to
make some fun; the following dialogue en-
sued.

81 expect there are a great many ladies'
where you came from!'

"And you are a great beau among them,
no doubtl'
"Yes, I beaus 'em to meetin and about

of wine," said one of the company.
"Thank'e. don't care if | do"
"But you must drink 4 toast"
8" eats toast, wat aunt Debby makes, but
as 10 drinkin, | never seed the like"
What was the surprise of the company to
hear the stranger speak clearly as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to wish
you health and happiness, with every other
blessing this earth can afford, and advise you
To bear in mind That we are often deceived
by appearances. You mis,ook me, by my
dress, 10 be a country BOBBY, |. from the
same cause, thought these men to be gentle

good evening"

When winter wins. are piercing chill,
And through the white-ihorn blows the gale,
With solemn feet tread the hill,
That overbro Tvs the lonely vao.
Der the bare upland, and away
Through the long reach OF desert woods,
The embracing sunbeanls chastely play
And gladden. these deep solItudes.
Where, twisted round tho barren oak,
The sumner vine in besuty clung,
And summer winds the stiffness broke,
The crystal icies il hung.
Where from their frozen urns, mute springs
Pour q Il the rivers gradual tide,
shrilly the skaters iron rings,
ND voices I'LL the woodland sido.
Alas how changed from the fair scene,
t When birds sang out their mellow lay,
And winds wer, soit and woods were green,
And the song ceased not with the day.
But still wild music is abroad,
Pale, desert woods within your crowd
And gathered winds, in hoarse accord,
Amid the vocal reeds pipe loud
Chill airs, aud wintry winds my ear
Has grown familiar with your sonyj
I hear il In tho opening year.
listen and IL cheers me long.
