MooNsHrNE AND MELoDY.-A select
number Of Ove-struck, moon-struck, music
struck young gentlemen, supplied with
the necessary qaantiiy Of lutes, flutes and
guitars, took it into their heads on Thurs
day evening to serenade a young lady, or
rather an old house in st. Charles street,
in which they believed q young lady to
be, but in which there was no lady, either
young or old.
They tuned their instruments, attuned
their voices.and performed away for some
thirty or forty minutes, making night hid.
eous with songs and airs breathing subj.
mated sentiment, when a negro wench,
with mouth like an ivory keyed accor
dion, raised the window and addressed
the vocal and instrumental amateurs un.
derneath:
Look hea, gemmen, ta,nt no use to be
foolin away your time round hea, kase

The serenaders sneaked away as If
their presence in another part of the city,
just about that time, was imperiousIy call.

a MOTHERS TEARs.- There is a sweet
ness IN mothers tears when they fall on the
lace Of dying babe, which no eye can behold
win heart untouched. II is holy ground upon
winch the unhallowed foot Opportunity dares
not encroach. Infidelity itself Il silent and
lorDears her hooking; and here woman shows
not her weakness, but her strength--it is
strength Of attachment, which man never can
feel Il is perennial, dependent ON no climate,
no change, nor soil, but alike in storms as in
sunshine, il knows no shadow Of turning. A
father when he sees his child going down the
dark valley may weep when the shadow Of
death has fully come over him, and as the last
departing knell falls on his ears, may say"
viii 60 down to the grave for my son in mour-
ning," but he turns away; in the hurry of bu-
siness, the tear is wiped, and though when he
returns to his firesidethe sportivc laugh comes
up TO his remember &c, the succeeding day
blunts the poignancy Of his grief, and, it finds
no permanent seat. Not so with her who has
borne and nursed the tender blossom. II lives
IN the heart where It was first entwined in the
dreary hours Of night. She sees its playful
miTth, or hears its plaiutive cries she seeks
IN the morning" and she goes to the grave to
weep there. Its little toys are carefully laid
aside as mementoes to keep continually alive
that thrilling anguish which the dying struggle
and sad look produced and though grief, like
a canker worm, may be gnawing at her vitals,
yet she finds luxury in her tearsaand sweet
ness in her sorrow, which none Bot mother
ever tasted.

iaifIv pronounce It viii do again, and that I
has purchased State Stocks; we have the evi-
dence Of the Globe itself which says "rhat
the present Administration has felt the utmost
confidence IN the honor Of the several States
cannot more clearly appear than from the fact
that it has invested portion of the trust funds
committed to its care in the stocks OF the sew
eral States"
Here then we have the great organ OF this
State Rights Democratic party openly advo-
eating policy, which, if persisted in, must
rob the States of every right which they hold
dear, and the people of every vestage OF liber-
ty. Why is thisf Because that policy is OPP
posed by the wings; and be measure what 1t
may, whether good or evil, democratic or
federal; if comes from them it must be cast
down, lest, perchance, they should reap little
favor with the people. By such short slghted'
narrow minded policy, did the present reign
ing dynasty count on remaining IN power; and,
by it, do they yet hope to regain what they
have lost. For years have they waged an I'M
ceasing warfare against the Banks, the credit
and the commercial prosperity of the country.
Onward have they marched IN this modern
crusade against the rights and the liberties Of
man. The good of the country, the welfare
of its citizens demanded of them to pause but
the interest of party required them to pro-
coed and they did SO. If they paused but fol
moment, the people. now heated and lntiam-
ed by the ceaseless ISLANDERS and falsehoods o
a subsidized press, might have time for cooire'
Election, and the country be saved, but the
party lost. And when has this party beer
known to pause a moment, when the ISSUE
was between itself and the welfare of The
country: never! no not once. Too blind II
Their selfish policy to see their error, they have
never once identified their own interest witt
those of the country, thereby making the one
sustain the other. Solitary and alone have
they stood in their hopes, views, and acts.
solitary and alone have they fought to build VI
themselves and pull down their country; I'M
till, solitary and alone have they fallen beneath
the bosom of destruction welded by the arm o
mighty and justly incensed people; and thei
requiem has been sung by the ravens which
flutter, and croak around the palace baskinG
in the sunshine of majesty, and living on tn
crumbs which fall from the royal table.

CALIFoRNIA.-A writer for the Nation
al Intelligencer, urges upon Congress the
propriety of entering into negotiation with
the Republic of Mexico for the purchase
Of California. Among a number of i'm
Portant considerations, he directs the at
tention ofour government to the fact, that
negotiations have been, and probably still
are, on foot between Great Britain and
Mexico, the object of which is to secure to
the former the possession Of that valuable
and important territory in payment Of
claims due from the latter. He further
states, that Russia has also an eye to the
acquisition to that province. Both these
governments claim to have possessions
west Of the Rocky mountains, and both
are looking forward TO the time when they
can make a successful decent upon the
Oregon territory belonging to the United
States. To both governments, therefore
the acquisition of California which is the
key to the entire coast on the Pacific, is of
the utmost Importance. Besides, the fer
tility Of the soil, the mildness and salubrity
Of the climate, and the excellence Of its
harbors, with many other advantages de-
rived from its peculiarly advantageous 10.
calIty, important to California value,reu-
dering it the object Of moro than ordinary
attention. And if the project Of uniting
the two oceans by ship canal across the
isthmus, which has been for several years
N contemplation, should be completed !;
an event by no means improbabIe-this
Foint will acquire still greater impor-
lance than can now scarcely be conceived
With such facts before the government of
Inc United States, in connection with the
immense interests it possesses in the Ore.
gon territory, we think the suggestions of
he correspondent Of the Intelligencer de-
serves to be seriously considered. The
quiet and peaceable occupation Of our ter
eltory West Of the Rocky Mountains rem
hers the pos ession Of California absolutely
indispensable; aad few years delay in
/ ne acquisition Of it, may teach us that the
defence Of the Oregon will cost us infinitely
more than the sum we would now be obi.
red to pay Mexico. We have already a
srge claim against Mexico, which has not
ct been paid, and we know of no better
node of obtaining the payment than bvI
purchasing California, fit can be done.
Mexico, with her intestine difficulties and
and her contentious with Texas, is not in
condition to protect and defend that pro-
vince, and would, on that account, in al
probability, part with il on equitable terms.
Il is at all events worth the effort.
