ton Of tSc Cnited States have the people
OF the Suthsrn States been ground down
by the cN-rr,meuts instituted BY their late
rulers, Jue after another, as i 10 try how
man such thCy could bear and live. IT,
iplccd, the signs Of the times are TO be al all
relied upon. great changes OF opinion have
very recently taken place Oh this subject in
tie South and we should not be very much
surprised ii, from some States hitherto

10 have in the present Congress nearly an
unanimous Npression Of sentiment in lis
favor
Otall specu.a;ions as 10 what Congress
may or may not do IN reference 10 the cur
rcncv, perhaps, after all, 10 more can now
be set down as certain than that the Elk
ira Session viii not pass away without the
establishment Of some fiscal agency as q
substitute for that which exists under the
familiar name OF the sub-Treasury system.
The measures. in fine, which may be
expected 10 become the subject Of deliber.
alton in Congress At the approaching Ses'
sion, are,
/. The distribution Of the proceeds o.
the sales of Public Lands among The seV
era, States.
,. 4 revision AMI augmentation Of tho
duties on imports, for the purpose Of secur
ing from that source a revenue adequate t,
the wants of the Government.
3. The repeal of the sub Treasury law
4. The establishment OF a fiscal agent
central or other, 10 aid the Government IL
collecting and disbursing the revenue an,
equaliz.ng the currency.
5. 4 temporary loan, II necessary Il
supply Tie immediate necessities Of th'
Treasury.

measures, taken together, would, We fee
entirely confident, suffice not only to re

Up, for chains are binding still
Human limbs at human will.

Still the tears as warmly flow

By Potomac's wave Of wo-
There the fond embrace is given,
And the hearts dear ties are rivenl
There the weary mother bendeth
O'erher task from morn till eve,
Till at night her way she wendeth
To her hut TO weep and grieve-
For the babe she. late caressed
Sleeps no longer on her breast.
All the skies are dark to her,
And the golden sun and stream
Wear shadowy glooms and stir
In her bosom but dream
OF her own dear sunny home,
Where she never more. may roam.
Give that mother back her child,
By thy hopes Of Heaven above
By its bitter meanings wild
For the bosom Of its love-
Else, AWAY from the haunts Of men,
Murderer, with the marx of Cain!
