The Republic,
BY JOHN LoUTH,

BY JOHN LoUTH,
When contemplation turns the patriots eve
To view the scenes OF other days gone by
When all the works that guild his coun,Tys name
And place it glorious on the page of fame
Arise to mind-how grand appear those schemes
Thai. raisd her mighty power to what il seems
When dark oppression swayd Britania's Isle,
And right laid PROSTATE at the feet OF guile
When persecution ruled her favofiie land,
And victims bed to satate command;
When freedom to,ered on her lofty throne,
A nd right and justice from their seats had flown;
When black despair the land in gloom had yeil'd,
And blaoker iyrants human rights assaild--
A sacred few, bound by one common tie,
Their idol freedom, and their trust on high,
BuTst the gnoble chains that bound their soul.
With one bold effou 'scaped the base control.
Immortal few, who chung to faith sublime,
Whose glorious deeds sink but with wreck time,
Whose names transcen1ent shine as landmarks here,
The weary pilgrim on his way to cheer
Yours Is that fame which lime shall meier allay,
Nor sge on age 1t brightness away.
How Inconsistent that the power OF birth
Should lead subsersien, real intrinsic worth
That sacred virtue bow 10 boas,ng pride,
And damning vice gain voiares far and wide
Come tell me, We who hoas, Of noble blood,
Was II eer gwen by your Maker, God
Does nature give 10 man those claims Of powe'-
Those empty nothings Of the passing hour'
Are no, all uien sprung from one common source'
No beuer was, and since, has been -ofsei
The traits Of folly that enslave our race,
And. from The suul, humanity ef'ace,
That cause the blood Of innocence 10 flow,
And Oh their course wth grOans Of torignng woe,
Are foolish pride, sH,bilion, love Of rule,

HOPE FOR THE BEST.

by c. SWAIN.
Oh why should we ever be shading
Moments Of parting with pain,
Though the rose we have cherished be fading
Tune will bring roses again.
Though fate our Jes,inies sever
Though for a season depres,--
Trusting in Providence ever,
Still let us hope to be blest.
There is star yet above us,
Shining for happier days;
There is a spirit TO love u.s.
Beamlng beyond the stars rays!
Though for time we may sever,
Clasp this deep truth TO thy breast,
Trusting in Providence ever
Come what there may--it is best!

Thou vast the fairest of the fair,
Thy life was pure evening air,
But death has called thee to its shrine
Thou gentle, noble Adeine.
Thy life was short but sweety passed.
As thou vert by thy friends caressed,
Earth's social pleasures all were thine,
Thou lovely amlable Adeline.
But sweetly as your life began,
Thy Savior now has called thee home,
Yet still on earth thy light shall shine,
Thou spiritual minded Adeline
Thy friends were many and the best,
That here on earth can be possessed,
But thou hast left them all behind,
10 dwell in peace, sweet Adeline.
Thy father. mother, brothers mourn,
That thou so soon was from them torn,
That they must add TO deaths long line,
Their daughter, sister, Adene.
Sweet as thy life so was thy death.
1t came, and then all friends you left,
To dwell with Christ, you did resign
All earthly pleasures, Adeline.
Now in the grave yard's low retreat
The youth, the aged, off meet,
Musing on the sculptured line,
Tha, says, here's buried youthful Adeline.

I A BorTeMLEss LAKE-The following Is the
first notice which we have ever met with OF
very remarkable pond. Saratoga county
New York If the following account, taken
from the Troy Mail, be true, II discloses GU
rious natural phenomenon:
"White,Lake is situated about mile west
of the PauIls Kill in the town OF Stlll-water;-
It is nearlycircular. II has no visible inlet,
but Its outlet is never failing stream OF con,
siderable magnitude. The name IS derived
from its appearance Viewed from llt'ie
distance, it seems of milky whiteness, except
a few rods in the centre, which. by the con-
trast, appears perfectly black. The appear
ance itself is singular enough, but the cause Is
still more remarkable.
From the centre or dark portion OF the lake,
at stated seasons, innumerable quantitles vi
shells are thrown up OF various sizes and lorms'
but all perfectly white These float to the
shore and are thrown upon the beach, or SINK
into shallow water. Hundreds OF bushels
might be gathered from the shore alter one OF
these periodical uprisings; and the whole SOIL
for several rods on every side OF the lake is
composed of these shells, broken or decompo-
sed by the action of the weather. In the CEN
ire of the lake, bottom has never been found.
although ii has been sounded to the depth OF
several hundred feet
Where then is the grand deposite from
which has been swelling since the memory OF
man the countless myriads of untenanted shells!
Is it possible that though far remote at an ele-
walton of several hundred feet above them, this
bottomIess we'll may, by some subterranean
communication, be connected with the grand
shell mari deposite in the eastern part of the
State?'

GEORGIA, as. MAINE.

The Legislature of Georgia has recently
passed a bill which has by the signature of
the Governor, now become law of the State,
requiring all vessels sailing from any port in
Maine, to perform quarantine for forty days.
The bill authorizes the Governor to suspend,
by Proclamation, the operation of the law,
whenever the Governor of Maine shall COM
ply with the acquisitions of Georgia, by deliv-
ering up 10 the Executive of the latter State,
the Captain and crew of a vessel, charged
with the abduction OF slaves from Savannah.

WAR, AND RUMORs OF WARS.

The Portland Advertiser has an interesting
article on the subject of the disputed terrific
ry of Maine,-and entertains the deliberate
opinion that rupture with England is now
almost matter of necessity. The British
authorities are concentrating their forces in
the heart of the disputed territory-making
military roads to the St. Lawrence, and en-
trenching themselves firmly upon the SOIL
The report of Featherstonhaugh, so palpably
false, uncandid and absurd, seems to favor the
idea that England, determined to possess that
country, intends amusing the u. S. Govern
ment with diplomatic finesSe, until she has es-
tabished herself in the territory, when she
will throw off the mask and proclaim her in
tentions to keep it at all events whether enti-
tied to it or not, and bid defiance to the credu-
lous Government that she had duped so sue
lcessfuIIy.

BENTON, as. CALHOUN.

1t Is said that these two worthless hate each

respect TO the Banks of that State. Had the

earnestness and ferocity upon the Louisiana

and Alexander G. McNutt, visited our institu-
tons, they would have been in worse condl-
ton to-day than many of the Banks of Mis-

vat;ons upon the Statutes Of State, ting Le-
oislature should consider the remote ano pos
sible. as well as the proximate and probable
effects of such amendment. Now to every
refec,ing mind it is obvious, that the recent
law will open the door to vast frauds IN the
sale of property, since it will put II IN the
power of an interested person to tear down
these notices, or the officer to place the notice
in an unfrequented or obscure part OF the
county, and thus defeat the obvious intent OF
the law. But it is supererogation to expose
all the falIacies of this act, or point to the
open and papable abuses to which it is subject
For ourselves, we frankly declare, that we
consider the act as impolitic, unjust, and inJu-
rious to the best interests of our citizens

measure, and the tables of both Houses of Con-

soliciting the Immediate enactment of such a

spirit of Locofocoism in the House of Repre-
