MY HOME IS THE WORLD.
BY THOMAS II. BAYLY

BY THOMAS II. BAYLG.
S,rel speed. Inv fleet vessel THE shore is in sight,
The breeZt, are lar. we shall aaeh0r tonight;
To morrow al sunrise once more shall stand
On the seabcalon shore oimy own native land.
BIT why does dependency weigh down my heart
Such thoughts are for friends who reluctantly part;
leone from an exile Of twenty long years,
Yell gale on my country through last falling tears,
Isee the bills purple with bells OF the heath,
And my own happy valley that nestes beheath
And the Migrant white blossoms spread over the
thorn
Tha, grows near the cottage in which was born.
Il cannot be cbanged--n0, the clmatlS climbs
0'er Tie gay i!ttle porch, Us il did N old times;
End the seat where my 9lker reclned Is still there
But where is my father; Oh, answer me where:
Nv mothers avn easement, the chamber she loved,
Is still there o'erIooklng the lawn where roved;
How thoughttuIy she sat with her hand on her
brow
As she watched her young darling-ah where is
she now
And there is nv poor sisters garden; how wild
We're tie innocent sports OF that beautiful child
Her voice had a spell in It's musical tone,
aui her checks were like roses-ah' where is she
Soue
No father rcclInes on the CIlmatls seat
Namolher looks down from her shaded retreat
NoNser is there steal ng syIy away;
FL the half suppressed laughter betrayed where
She lay.
But see this green path! remember il well.
IFS the way TO the church; iark the sound OF the
bell
How Oft in nv boyhood the truant I've Sirayed
10 yonder dark yew three, aud slept IN lis shade
But surely the pathway is narrower nov
No smooth place is left meath the dark yewtree
bough;
Der tablets Inscribed with sad records tread
And the homc have sought is the home OF L!e
dead.
And was il Tor this looked forward so long,
And shrank from the sweetness Of Italy ! song,
And turned from The dance of the da rk gr of spain,
And wept for my country again aud again
And was it for this to my easement crept,
And gazed in the deep when dreamed that slept
II think of lond meetings, the we come, the kiss,
The friendly hands pressure: Ah' was il for this:
r zen those who have been so long absent return
! The scenes OF their childhood, II is but To mourn
Wounds op n ailesh, which time nearly had healed,
And the Ills Of a life al one glance are revealed
Speed speed! my fleet yesseI-tle tempest may
rave
There's calm in my breast for the dash the
wave;
Speed Speed my fleet vessel--the sails are un'
iured--
OH ask me not uhither--MY HOME Is THE WORLD

UNION BANK CHARACTERIZATION.

We have barely time to present Inc following

upon, through its Executive. to pay the interest
due on the Union Bank Bonds How is this to

the people? Will they submit to taxation, for
this Purposel The Wing party say they will, and
pirate about State honor, aud Stale credit. Let
them come to the scratch noN They refused
to make any provision to meet these Bonds, last
winter, by placing the Bank IN liquidation, and
appropriaung their aS,ets aud property TO thus OBJ
iect. Now, what will they dol They say the
people must be taxed 10 pay Tor the mad opera.
tons ofthe Banks aud spectators. The Dem
ocIsts, with old constitutional Tucker as their
candidate toT Governor, take the ground that the
PEOPLE ought not to pay either interest or
principal OF these BOnds, but that the holders OF
them must look 10 the Banks. The Wings are
Tor taXauon--the Democrats are opposed 10 II. -
This must be the issue at the next election, and
it is folly TO auemp. to eyade II by saying, that
the Bonds are not due. The sum OF one hua'
bred and twenty five thousand dollars is doe, at
THIS time, and like SUN viii be due IN October.
The Bond -holdera should understand The position
which the people OF Mississippi intend 10 occu'
py. in relation TO this matter IN all time to come;
and we know Of no other way of settling the
question, save through the ball0t-boy. The PEG.
pie Won't pay the Bonds, If they could--they
can't pay the ln,eresl--and II Is wrong 10 hold
out tho hope that they can, OF will, do 50 now or

STRIKING THE RESPONSIBILITY

ten that the acting President does not mean 10
recommend any measure Of finance but will eth.
er leave it 10 lis Secretary Of the Treasury to
prepare plan. or TO Congress itself We con.
tend, upon the PLAIN letter Of the Constitution, that
this would be direct evasion Of his executive
duties. Hear how emphatic the requsilon Is.
"lle shall, from time to tme give the Con
gress information of the Stale Of the Union, and
recommend 10 their consideration such measures
as he shall Judge necessary and expedsnt," &c.
There then appears no doubt about the duty in
posed upon him. He shall recommend" &c.
Words cannot be more distinct But 10 show
how carefully they were selected for the express
purpose, we lay before our readers tho following
extract from "1hs Madison Papers"-pags

PROPHETIC SPIRIT OF Mr.. JEFFEKsoN.-
The crisis approaches which makes the language
OF the following passage from the letter Of Mr.
Jefferson speak like an oracle uttered from a
grave. The untoward events brought about by
the depravlly Of the late Bank of the United
States have gone far to "unhInge the confidence
Of The people" and now we see the influence Of
the system with all its crimes branded on It's
front acting by command and in phGIanr,"
and in far way to to verify Mr. JefTerson's proph.
ecy:
This institution is one al the most deadly
hostility existing against the principles and form
Of our Constitution. The nation is at this time
30 strong and united in its sentiments, that It can.
not be shaken at this moment.
But suppose a series Of uncovered events
should occur sufficient TO bring into doubt the
competency OF Republican Government to
meet crisis Of great danger, or to unhlnge the
confidence of the people IN the public functional
rles an institution like this penetrating by its
branches every palt Of the Union, acting by c0m-
