| HAVE NO WIFE.

BY IN old and incorrisible member Of the
Bachelors Club.
have 10 wife!-youns girls a:e fair,
But how il is ! cannot tell,
No sooner are they wed. than their
Entertainments bid them all farewell.
The girs-God bless them!- make us yearn
To risk all odds, and take a wife,
To cling to one. and not TO turn
Ten thousand in the dance Of life.
, 1840-03-07

! lave no wife-who'd have his nose
Forever tied to one lone flower,
Zen though that flower should be a rose,
Pluck'd with light hand from fairy bower!
Oh. better far the bright bouquet
or flowers Of every cline and hue,
By turns 10 charm the mind away,
And fragrance in the hear, renew.

1have no wife!-in Heav'n they say.
Such things as as weddings are not known;
Unyoked the biissful spirits stray
O'erfields where care no shade has thrown:
Then why not have q Heaven below,
And let fair Hymen hence be sent!
1t would he fine; but as things GO,
Unwedded folks wont be content.

! have no wife-anJ | can dream
OF girls who're uorh their weight in gold
Can bask my heart IN loves broad beam,
And dance 10 think it yet unsold,
Or ! can gaze upon a brow
Which mind and beauty both enhance
Go 10 the shrine and make my bow,
And thank the fates | have a chance!
, 1840-03-07

Ihave no wife!-and, like 4 wave,
Can float away to any land,
Curl up and kiss, or gently lave,
The sweetest flowers that are at hand;
4 Pilgrim, / can bend before
The shrine which heart and mind approve,
Or, Persian like | can adore
Each star that gems the Heav'n.

A REBUKE TO THE DEMAGOGUEs

Whoever has watched the movements, of things
in this State for the last six months must have oh.
served how very anxious certain tools Of Van Blu
were to secure tho votes OF the abolitioniss
themselves and 10 their master. Men in thsSta,e,
who, but shorttime sincewere ringleaders to mob
ahoIiuonists, mancs great tenderness of feeling to
wards them-men too who would mob them again to
morrow ifIt would helpthem to office. Witness the
Monp elior Patriot, lis editor not long since in n
pro-slavery mob, billing and cooling" TO secure the
votes Of Northumberland who, withE. ID. Barber
and one Shaw for stool pigeon, is laboring to get
Wing aboliuoniss TO for Van Buren,, if not di.
roctly indirectly. Barber is an abolitonlst so far
as he can get votes by it, and farther. The
Voice OF Freedom, junius like, rebukcs these dema
! gogues follows:
awe remark, lastly, that some persons who are
now most clamorous for third political PARTY, and
who are wonderfully alive to the consistency of ab
olitionsis, of that class Of political hucksters,
who constructed on the StoipeL princi ple-po ti
cal Januses, who, like the clown in the play, carry
allparls of farce at one Il the same Time. A prom
| inent actor of this stamp was heard to wind up u
! street dialogue this week, wlh-"but I shall 60
for .hauy' Others, whose sympathy for the sav Q
| has heretofore been manifested by long-drawn
sneers Of cold contempt for abotionists, ready
to say in the language of Joab to Amasa 'Art thou
| in health my brother? We might safely add, that
their tender regard for the is TOO we'll iustra
! ted in The sequel Of the sne 'And Joab took
Amasa by The beard, with his right hand to kiss
him. But Amasa took no heed to the sword in Jo-
abs left humid, so he smote him in the fl h rib"
We confess that for one, have no ambition to
contract alliances with such men. We don't like
"that aohits heap yondor." Such men mask ed
moral vampires, who will one day volunteer their
aid to steady the urt of liberty, and the next offer
the slaves blood in sacrifice the altar of n pro-
slavery party! Though we thus speak of some,
who, by their forwardness, have done much to
bring the third party movement under suspicion
and contempt, we yield TO none in readiness to
honor the motives Of those, who in obedience to
conscience, feel themselves mpelled TO the meas
ure, right in itself and best adapted TO hasten
the deliverancc of the slave.

THE USE OF THE VETO POWER
Gen Harrison, in speech delivered June 9th,
1910, at Cleveland Ohio, gave his views of the
use Of the veto power. by the President, follows
GENERAL HARRISON ON THE VETO.
"He was of opinion that the danger apprehendcd
bv Patrick Henry and other distinguished patriots,
who held that the Executive would encroach upon
and finally exercise dangerous influence over
the legislative and judicial department of the Gov
eminent, had, 10 great extent, been realized
He considered il of the first importance that the
administration Of the Government should be brot
back to its original purity, and that the Executive
power and influence should be retained within the
limits prescribed by the spirit OF the Constitution
that the will of the PEOPLE, expressed through
their Representatives, and not the will of one man.
should govern in all questions touching the general
welfare-that the President should not, and that
he would not, if elected, interpose the veto power
between the wishes Of the people and the legt
mate objects of their desires, except to preserve the
sacred charter Of our liberties from manifest viola
ton. lie held it improper for the President to ex
press his determination to exercise the veto power
in regard TO measures coming exclusively within
the province assigned by the Constitution to Con.
gress until those measures should have been duly
considered and perfected by the gislave depart
men, of the Government, and presented to him in
the manner prescribed by the Cons tituton for his
approval.
VAN BUREN, AND THE VETO.
Martin Van Buren,, in his Inaugural Address, in
1897, gave his views Of the of the Veto Power,
MS follows:

my countrymen who were favorable TO my election
was gratiied, must go INTO the PRESIDENT al char

S. S. BRowN-FRAUD UPON THE PUBLIC.

Stephen s. Brown, Pettfogger, at st Adams,
is out with story developing the indebtedness Of
the State Of Vermont, but he does not tell US for
what this debt contracted. He hides it fom
the reader who docs not happen to know the facts
in the case. The State of Vermont owes not a
cent except hat is due loans ordered by the
Legislature, for the building of the State House
which cost $l20,00O and which, by law, we're
mnde out of the school fund belonging To the State
Gov. Palmer in Office when the law was pas
sed for building the State House, and he author
lied and did appoint man 10 see the work accom-
plished, and that man was l.ebius Egerton, n Van
Buren, Senator from Orange Co. Let Gov. Palmer
then, take upon his shoulders the State deb:, if
blame is attributable to any body.
This S. S, Brown, moved in the last Legislature
TO raise an additional Tax Of $40 900, when it was
not needed The 3 per cent tax is amp y sufficient
to pay all the ordinary expenses of the State Gov
eminent. But he pretends TO love the people, and
he wished to show that love by taxing them unne-
cessarilv these hard times.
The Wings claim the proceeds OF the public
lands and mean to elect Old Tip and get them,
AMI then the State House be paid for and the
people of Yer mont relieved for 90 years from any
State tax if they so choose 20 the money.

cans for Van Dieman's Land, and 50 from Montreal
for Sidney. Saw nothing remarkable on our passage

vember. After completing our water and refreshing
the crew and convicts with fresh beef, sailed the
9th, AMI arrived here the Ilth February, 1910. We
have had of the most delightful passages that
could be made, ms 20 weather. fair wind all the
way, and with the exception of few squalls, with
rain near the line, not more than a strong breeze
The prisoners, on the whole, behaved remarkably
well owing, in all probability, to the very strict
guard kept them, for the Americans came
board with most infamous character, most dar-
ing and viainous set, ready To sacrifice their lives
rather than be transported We fortunately detect
ed a conspiracy among them in time to prevent
unpleasant affair, they having had in agitation to
rise against us They have since been very quiet.
IL was reported before we left that some Americans
sympathizing with their country men to be sent by
the Buffalo, intending fitting out two Baltimore clip
pers to intercept us, but we did not meet any
thing suspicious. We shall land eighty-two on
Saturday morning, who will be placed in the gangs
