POLICY OF GREAT BRITAIN.
('To be continued.

From the commencement of the Boun-
Diary troubles, it has been our fixed opinion
that the question at issue would never be
settled short Of war with England. This
opinion has not been formed from vague
conjectures, idle rumors or speculative mo-
tives, but from examination and reflection.
Were we MOI somewhat acquainted with
British policy, we might possibly come TO
different conclusion upon the subject.
But knowing as we do the vast importance
of this territory to the British Government,
we are fully persuaded that they will never
relinquish their claim or surrender possess
ion, until compelled to by physical force.
They are we'll assured that if they give up
this territory, they yield up the key Of the
Canadas. Extenaing as il does almost TO
the Vt. Lawrence, it separates Nova SEQ
tia and New Brunswick from the Canadas
and thereby divides and weakens their
strength, and consequently renders them
less formidable in military or political
point Of view. 1t cuts off the Canadas
from all communication with the mother
Country during the winier, which leaves
them alone to grapple with whatever force
might be brought against them. Il no,
only exposes them to all the consequences
oil civil revolution and rebellion unchecked
by the fresh arrival OF British troops. bu,
leaves them unprotected in case Of invasion
from the States. This territory is very
essential TO the British as connecting link
between Halifax and Quebec, through
which they can march troops, or commupi.

nothing but couple of dckies-sober as a
judge or drunk as lord-catch him, in short,

his own native State. He will be sure TO
swear with marked and peculiar emphasis, that
though somewhat small, old Vermont is the
greatest State in the ''milky way" of the Un-
ion-the must noble gem in the constellation
of twenty-six. And then he will refer YOU to
John Stark and Ethan Allen, names he will
confidently assure you, which stand higher
upon the monument of fame than any others
recorded there. His eye will glisten as he
talks of Ethan Allen, and reminds YOU of his

SIGNS OF A COMING STORM.

Cur readers are well aware that we are no
alarmists, and we trust that they evrr find Our
opinions conservative, and employed in rebuff
ing the mad spirit of destruction that is the i'm
peling genius of Loco Focoism. We feel.
however, that it is our duty to tell the truth,
and the whole truth, as faithful public sentincl9
and under the guidance of this impulse, We
are compelled TO proclaim that, TO the best Of
our judgment, powerful party is organizing
in this country 10 S:oindle the states, or in the
softer term of the day, TO rePudiate the State
Bonds. If successful, the end of it inevita-
bIv will be rdr rchh England, with the scorn
and contempt of the whole civilized world.
We believe the following Resolutions, passed,
as the Evening Post says, at spirited public
meetings" in ''various counties" Of Indiaaa,to
be in substance the opinions of majority Of
the People of Mississippi and Arkansas, and of
what demagogues, by such an issue, can con-
vert into a majority in Alabama, Illinois,
Michigan, and perhaps Georgia and Indiana.
Indeed, none but the oldest and most thicklv
settled States of the Union are safe, if tho
demagogues once mount the anti-bond, TO
debt paying. no tax-having hobby.

A DREAM OF HEAVEN.

Lo, the seal of death is breaking,
Those who slept IFS sleep are waking,
Eden opcs her portals fan!
Hark, the harps of God are ringing,
Hark, the scraph's hymn is singing,
And The living rils are flinging
Music en- immortal air
There, no more at eve declining,
Suns without a cloud are shining
Ger the land of life and love
Heavens own harvests WOO the reaper,
Heavens own dreams entrance the sleeper,
Not tear is left the wcepcr
To profane one flower above.
No frail lilies there are breathing,
There no thorny rose is wreathing
In tn bowers of paradise :;
Where the focnts of lie are flowing
Flowers unknow n 10 time arc blowing,
Mid Superior verdure glowing,
Than is sun'd by mortal skies.
There the groves of God, that never
Fade or fall, arc green forever,
Mrrored in the radiant tide
There. along The sacred waters,
Unprofaned by tears or slaughte!s,
Wander earth's immortal daughters,
Each pure Immortal's bride.
There no sigh of memory swellcth.
There no tear Of misery dwellcth,
Hearts will bleed or break no more
Past is all the cold worlds scorning,
Gone the night and broke the morning,
With serapbic day adorning
LIES glad waves and golden shore.
Oh on that bright shore 10 wander,
Trace these radiant waves mcander,
All we loved, and lost, to see
Be this hope, so pure, so splendid,
Vainly with our being blended
