ELOQUENCE,

Mr.. Brownlow, the Editor of the Jones'
boro' (renncssee) Wing is at present at
Nashville, whence he transmits accounts of
the proceedings of the Legislature for the CO.
lumns of his spirited paper. Among other
matters in the last paper, he reports the
speech of one Mr.. Dew, of Maury, which
contains rare collection of sparkling gems
Of fancy. Here is an extract from it. some
remarkable portions of which we have placed
in italics,
"Sir, would have gentlemen of the DOM
inant party TO understand that Democrats are
not to be deferred from the defence of John
Tyler, itlhey think him worthy Of support.
lie was not our candidate but theirs. But,
Sir, he is native the old Dominion, the
land Of Tom Jefferson, of Madison, of the
immortal Washngton-the land of Pres-
dents, and the birth place of the fathers OF
Democrats. Mr.. Speaker, when speak of
the father of his country, do it with feeling
emotions of my soul. Alas is there any
gentleman present who does not chill up at
the mention ofhiS name as if he mere ship
fring among the eternal snows of South
America But, sir cannot dwell here.
repeat that john Tyler descended from pure
stock-yes, Sir, from he noble bandof Pl-
grim Fathers who landed before my day or
lyourday, on the Plymouth Rock in old Vir-
,giaia. And there, Mr. Speaker, to this day
that Old Rock rears its proud front, as one
Of the glorious monuments Of the old Do
anmiOn."
We learn from the reporter that, at this
stage of the remarks Of Mr. Dew, of Maury.
the audience interrupted him with loud oui-
cries, whether of applause or condemnation
isnot stated, although the words SEQ it Dew
were particularly audible. The speaker pro.
ceeded, doubtless under the impression tina
he was achieving Unprecedented triumphs il
the oratorical line, but wo regret that oul
limits do not permit us to entertain our read.
ers with the remainder of his brilliant effort
After MIR. Dew had concluded his speech
another gentleman arose, and observed tina,
he would like to hear a little more from ,be
gentleman who had just taken his seat rela-
tive to the geographical location of sold
Plymouth Rock"
Mr.. Dew replied, shat Rock is where
yon nor never have been, and that is sufli.
cient and if 1t is not, Sir, repeat it is in the
OLD Dominion, commonly called the Stat,
Of Virginia. "(Scresms and yells) Lea. Ga,

JOHNNY SANDS.

man whose name was Johnny Sands,
Had MARI led Betty Hague;
Who, though she brought him cash and land
Yet prov'd shocking plague.
For she was quite scolding wife,
Full of caprice and whm:
He said that he was tired Of life,
And she was tired Of him.
SAYS he, "tlen will drown myself
The river runs below -
Says she, pray do, you silly elf
wsh'd it long ago"
Said he, "upon the brink upright
II stand run down the hill,
And push me in with all your might;
Said she, my love- will"
For fear that courage should lack,
And try TO save my life,
Pray tie my hands behind my back
81 will, replied the wife.
She tied them fast, as you may think,
And when securely DONE
Now go. she cried, upon he brink,
And I'll prepare to run.
All down the hill his tender bride
Now run with all her force
To push him in-he stepp'd aside
And she fell in of course.
There splashng, struggling, like fish,
80 help me, Johnny Sands ~
81 can't my dear, though much wish,
For You have tied my. hands"

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

"Go out beneath tho arched heaven in
nights profound gloom, and say fyou can,
There is no God! pronounce that dread
blasphcmy, and each star above will reprove
you for your unbroken darkness of intellect
every voice that floats npon the night winds
will bewal your utter hopelessness and de-
spair. Is there no God? Who, then, I'M
rolled that blue scroll, and threw upon its high
frontisplcco the egible glcamings of immor-
tality2 Who fashioned this green earth
with its perpetual rolling waters and its cx-
panse of island and mainl Who settled the
foundation ofthe mountains Who paved the
heavens with clouds, and attuned, amid ban
ners of storms, the voice of thunders and
chained the lightnings that linger, ard Turk,
and flash IN their gloom? Who gave 10 the
eagle safe eyre where the tempest dwell

thunders eff heaven and the waters of earth
are claimed! Are there no floods, that man
as not swept under deluge7 They remain
but the bow decentralization hangs out above
and beneath them. And it were better that
the limitless waters and the strong mountains,
were convulsed and commingled together
1t were better that the very stars were confla-
grated by fire or shrouded in eternal gloom than
that one soul should be lost, while mercy
kneels and pleads for it beneath the Altar of
intercession.

MY NATIVE LAND.

Thy verdait banks, thy lucid stream,
Lit by the sun sresplendent beam,
Reflect each bending tree so light
Upon thy bounding bosom bright.
Could tu, see thee once again,
My own, my beautiful Chamiplain
The little isles that deck thy breast,
And calmly on Thy bosom rest,
How often in my childish glee,
I've sported round them, bright and free,
Could bit see thee once again,
My own, my beautiful Champlain!
How oft I've watched the fresh'ning shower,
Bending the summer tree and flower
And felt my little heart beat high
As the bright rainbow graced the sky.
Could but see theeonce again,
My own, my beautiful Champaign!
And shall never see thee more,
My native lake, my much-lovcd shore!
And must bid long adeu,
My dear, my infant home, to you?
Shall not see thee oNcc again,

From the Troy Whig.1

Organization Of "Patriots" ,inthe A.
merican Territory.-There are strong rea.
sons for believing ,hatan armed force con-
sisiing of several thousand men has been
for some time organizing within the State
of New York, for the purpose ofcp.oPera;
ting with Canadian patriots, as they are
called, in another attempt at revolt. we
are informed on good authority, that the
organization of these men within our ter
rtory was never so complete as it is at
present. and that it. comprises body of flf-
ty or sixty thousand persons, who are rea-
dy to march at amoment's warning across
the frontier, and to carry fire and sword
into the heart Of the Canadas. Whether
the United States Governments aware Of
this alarming state Of affairs we are una
bic 10 say, or whether General Scott in his
recent visit to Buffalo and Detroit Sue
ceeded in scovering what was actually
going on in the vicinity Of those places.
II is very evident however, to observing
men who reside near the Canadian frontier,
that unusual preparations have been ma
king for some time past among those who
are friendly to the cause of the patriots,
and the most disastrous consequences are
apprehendetl unless this conspiracy against
a nation with whom we are al peace is
broken upin time. The recent robberies
of powder and arms were doubtless COM
mitted by persons in the employment Of
the conspirators, and similar seizures will
be attempted by them hereafter, from time
to time.
The manner in which the patriots will
conduct their attack upon the Canadas
will be probably to cross the lines in the
night, commit whatever depredations they
can, and retreat, when discovered, into
our territory. A series ofsuclI acts will OF
course. bring down upon US the whole
British force now stationed in Canada, and
fierce and bloody border war thus be
cxcited-lhe termination ofwhich no one
can accurately predict. -
That there is some,trulh in the informa.
ton communicated TO the Wing we have
doubt; but our confidence is equally strong
that the statement above made is very
greatly exaggerated. Armies of fifty ol
sixty thousand men are not SO easily en-
rolled and organized. The truth is, we
suppose, that some three or four thousand
|men might be- got together, along the
wholelDe OF The border, who wocld pro.

deterring motives are much stronger now
on both sides Of the line. -
We may add that the whole matter is
vigilantly watched and accurately knowr

necessity for vigorous action. such actior
will not be wanting.
There is more to be apprehended from
