THEY ARE COMING

Nearly all the leading State Rights men ofVirgin-
ia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama
have ef the wings and joined with the democrats
in their supper, of Mr.. Van Buren,. The conserva-
lives TOO are coming, and "signing off" from the
wings Hopkins of Virginia, elected as conserva-
tive and an opponent of the Independent Treasury
has, for some tnie, been in our ranks, and is now
Hon, John Campbell, member OF Congress from
South Carolina, (once a conservative has also come
out for Martin Van Buren,. In recent publication,
he SAYS:
However much may object to certain incidents
in Mr.. Van Bnren's political lie or dissent from par
lcular measures Of his administration, am, under
existing circums ances in favor Of hls re- election
because his course upon the whole since he has been
President of the United States has been such, in my
estimation, as TO entitle him 10 the confidence Of the
South; and because perler the principles Of the
party in the non-savehoding States By which he is
supported and whose ascendancy believe TO be in
great measure Identified with his reelection. TO
those Of The party In the same States by which he is
opposed"
There is the truth in Deat-she, and the reason
which should induce every true hearted souherner
10 support Van Buren, in preference to Harrison
What slave holder would not prefer union with
the democrats of the north, the supporters Of the
present administration, and the "natural allies oil
the south, as Mr. Jefferson has said, To an afiIiaon

rHE FIRsT GRAY HAZE.
Is published at No. II, WAFER street. Baltimore

THE FIRST GRAY HAIR.
The matron at her mirror, with her hand upon
her brow, .He
Sits gazing on her lovely face-aye lovely even
new;
Why doth she lean uponher hand with such a
look of care?
Why steals that tear across her cheek2-She
sees her first gray hair.
Time from her form hathta2en away but little of
its grace;
His touch Of thought hath dignifed the beautyo of
her faces
Yet she might mingle in the dance where maidens
gaily trip,
So bright is still her hazeleye, so beautiful her
lip. b.
The faded form is often marked BY sorrow more
than years;
The wrinklecn her check may be the course of
secrettear c- 4-
The mournful lip may murmpr of love 1t ne'er
contest,
And the dimness of the eye hetray heart that
cannet rest. ~
But she hath been happy wife the lover of her
youth,
May proudly claim the smile that pays the trial
of his truth;
A sense of shght-of loneliness-hath never
banish'd sleep;
Her life hath been a cloudless onei-then,
wherefore doth she weep?
She look'd uponherrav locks; -what thoughts
did they recall! IS
Oh! not of nights when they were deal1d for
banquet orfor ball: .
They brought back thoughts of early youth, ere
she had learned to check,
With artificial wreaths, the curls that, sported
DER the neck.
She seemed to feel her mothers hand pass lightly
thro' her hair,
And draw it from her brow, to leave kiss of
kindness there;
And seemed to view her fathers smile, and feel
the playful touch
That sometimes feigned to steal away the curls
she priced so much.
And non she sees her first gray hairi Oh, deem
it not crime ~
For her to weep when she bcholds the first foot
mark of Time
She knows that one by one, those mute memen-
tos will increase, ---.-.ss ......,
And steal youth, beauty, strength away; till lie
itself shall cease.
IT'S not the tear of vanity for beauty on the
wane--
Yet though the blossom may not sigh to bud and
bloom again,
It cannot but remember with a feeling of regret,
The spring forever gone-the Summer sun so
nearly set.
All, lady! heed the monitor. thy mirror tells the
truth,
Assume the matron's folded veil, resign the
wreath of youth;
CO. bind it on thy daughters brow; in her thou't
still look fair:
1Twere well would all learn wisdom who behold
the first gray HAIR

eIJnele Cobb was like-whas?-a sunny day
in March, Even SO. Part stormy, part sunny,
part hot part cold; but all healthy and vigorous,
sturdy, and of great value. He had round,
red. happy face a bright blue, keen, frosty eye,
that would have been altogether disagreeable,
but for the benevolenee of his smile, which was
warm and invigorating. &ndeed, WHEN his smiled
his whole eountenance became as 1t were nlu-
minated; and his inflated cheeks arose SO as to
bury hisieyes; YOU would have lost them altogeth-
err, but that their position was indicated by the
long dark eyelashes that peeped forth, and
vibrated with delight. When he smiled, you
forgot his waywardness and obstinacy-his 'sl

trembling; but when he laughed. it was the
Jubilee OF Momus. l defy you to avoid the in
fection-it was wonderful! Melpomene herself
must have laughed with him. Laughter burst
from his rosy lips-a huge torrent Of enjoyment,
up springing, and gushing forth from his heart;
it was the ssHa. ha ha p of joyous, jovial spirit
the music of generous soul. seUncle Cobb
possessed large estate in Lancashire; and it
was a cheering sight to see him walk forth, the
very Leviathan of benevolences amongst his
tenants. He always wore drab coat and white
waistcoat; with either top boots or drab CATERS,
broad-brmmed hat, and walked with stout
stick-cane cannot call it, for it as unpolish-
ed as Uncle Cobb himself; this he would alter
