SIR am DESTROYS of informing you that have
been in the habit of perusng daily your most excel

ing additional value to your sheet business Jour
nal, have been induced to drop you line in order
to apprse you of the Interest that is felt this quar-
ter for your and ultimate triumph those
who seem to be your most eRvious and perseveribg
foes. That you have been prosecuted, yillifed and
abused, TO degree unparalleled in this any other
country, is an assumption which the most blindy
fanatic cannot deny nor the most BIASED for mo-
ment question-that there have been appeals to
the public mind directly calculated to break up
your worldly interests-to blast your reputation
to poison the happiness of your family, and by men
notorious for their nfamy and their scoundrelism,
is an assumption which, unfortunately indeed, 10 but
too true-and which this emil ghtened snd-this land
of boosted integrity, will not allow to go losg ua.

extraordinary degree), however, is the safest
guide, under the most exciting crcumstaR ces,

suit which they anticipated to you, however, is now
fearfully recoiling upon their own heads, and the
indignation which is every where melted out TO them
is becoming the liberal and patriotic feelings Of

inmates OF penitentiaries and houses OF correction
should assume the high prerogative Of reading les
sons Of morality and virtue to the public, and wrap
themselves up all the majesty OF selfimportance,
the sensbties Of those who do lay claim to some
degree of morality, often receive shock much more

the palpable villany, snd the GOODNESS and syste-

According to the complexion of the returns re-
ceived from Philadelphia last evening, it seems to
be highly probable that the state Of nnsylvania
has gone for Van Buren,, and the democratic PARTY,
by an increased vote over any vote taken in that
state since the time of General Jackson.
BY the cars yesterday afternoon, We received re-
turns from Philadelphia and the border counties.
La these counties, the Democrat ticket shows an
aggregate increase of nearly 4,0cO votes over the
votes taken in 1888, in the contest between Porter
and Ritner In that contest, Porter, the democratic
candidate, elected by majority of 5496, and if
the rest of the State should follow the example Of
Philadelphia and her neighbourhood, Pennsylvania
will go for Van Buren, by 10000 vstes. or more.
This is a most remarkable result-but when we
reflect on the atrocous conduct Of the United States
Bsnk during the last year, and the identification
between that bankrupt institution and the whig
party we ought not TO be surprised at the result.
A. present il appears that General Harrison mast be
content to be elected without Penns ylvania.
We shall see clearer, however, to-day or to-mor-
row

Not now--when his fame esrths orbit fills,
But when his way was drear and dim
Among the bleak New HamI shire hills
When want, and pride combined
To irritate that generous heart,
And that all-glorious mind
Was wrestling with a mental part.
Call II not fattery-no,
For this poor worlds applause,
For fortunes gold, or beauty's glow,
Or the robe that honor draws
Around his worship'd form,
| would MT meanly warm
The cheek OF seli-respest with shame,
BY smiling on a worthless name.
Can we fa.ter the Power that stan's
Calm, ON the noon days throne,
AID lends the sea, and lands
Light-that is oil his own.
Can hstter the knightly oak,
That has clenched its sinewy root
Deep in earth, and softly spoke
To wcaried man, and brute,
While the winds whisper thro' its shade,
thousand years have made.
so ii is mt fattery-ris
A wreath we CANT WITHHOLD

And ere that noble heart is cold

To light even his trium plant hour,

When he bore his humble fate,
With SOUL that did not shrink,
Nor stoop to the vulgar Great,
But with quiet strength,
Look'd them TO arms length.
love to think of him
In his cold and clouded youth.
When all around was dim,
Save the beams of God and truth,
That burned within has soul,
Aud lighted selfcontroul.
When he was a lonely boy,
With poverty to hold him down,
And petty griey ance to annoy,
And make him smile, and frown.
When he hung up his scythe,
And told his dad that it should hang
Always there-hed writhe
With every mental pang,
Before he'd " astc his precious day
Where the tater patches lay.
Almighty boy-a matchless man,
Abuse ! i'm as they will,
Whose powers the world OF genius span
His memory will fill
The circling centuries yet unborn,
With light--like summer morn.
When he used to stand at night,
As the north-wind roard and rolled
Round the mountains frozen height,
Cracking the rocks with cold
And dream Of the distant days,
When his name would roar as loud,
And Kingdoms smile their praise,
And Queens in awe before him crowd.
When he stched the dark shutdown,
And thought of dazzling times to come,
Nheu ne would wear
That makes earths Tyrants dumb.
His memory will mildly rise
Like the morn of Southern skies,
Spreading n sweet and sunny calm
Der homes that breathe of balm.
Isaw him in the street
His face was worn and thin,
Others, sure sect
My country men tits sin
To wear him out with ceaseess care,
You haul him, everywhere
Fast and west and north and south
For God sake, let him rest
You will not give his mouth
Time to take what's best;
But hurry him from table, 'ere
Hunger can halfplate clear.
Yos make him think too much
That galvanic mind must pause,
The Almighty makes not many SUCH
II must heed his deadly laws;
The volcanic fire that flashes there,
His thoughtless friends must spare.
Ifthey make him thus the Nations slave,
Its hopes must chill-in the shadow of his grave.
