THE PRAIRIE HUNTERS SONG.
The darkness flies; huntsmen arise,
For morn's bright hues appear,
Der the Prairies wide, away we'll stride,
To hunt the bounding deer.
just bark to the sound OF the deep mouthd hound
As the game bursts into view,
Ger the Pfairies wide, away. III ride
And the anierd buck pursue.
Ca the frosty morn, with hounds and horn,
Ard hunsfed horsemen bold,
The vol wsil chase, from its hiding place,
Der the Psalriss wild and cold
When the salfbas fed fiom his grassy bed,
Panssi BY dogs and men,
Astks horses strain DER the level plain,
How thnlls the iiie-bood then.
When the midday sun its course has run,
And evening gales are heard,
Midst the golden grain, we'll shoot again,
The whirring Prairie bird.
When the storms of Spring, the wild-fowl brng'
In hocks as thick as hail.
Wen hunt them then or ~ the glen,
Wen shoot the flying quail.
On the Prairies green, when the flowers are seen
With coloIs rich and rare,
How sweet to ride in the eyentide,
With lady bright and fair
Whsn the north lights glow on the drifted snow
And nights as bright as day,
Whilst the sleigh-bells ring, ven meTily sing,
As we skim DER the Prairies gay.
In the tangled brakes of the Southern lakes,
Many pleasures there may be;
On the mountains both there are sports we re told
For the huntsman bold and free
But the mountain high, and the Southern sky,
For others let them be-
Where the fires fly DER the Praires dry,
Oh that's the land for me. X. ..

ANOTHER HOBBY.

Our opponents are attempting to get up
a new hobby, for the purpose of dividing
the Wings in this Territory; hobby,
which was worn threadbare in the States
during the late Presidential election, and
which will be Of little service to them at
any future election. 1t is to array local
feeling against local feeling, and thus, if
possible causea division in the wing ranks.
1t will be recollected that Gen. Harrison
among other things was charged with be-
ing an abolitionist yankee. This was done
to catch southern votes. 1t turned out,
however. that nearly the whole South
went for him, thus giving the most en-
phatic lie to such charge. As pitiful as
was such mode of unfair electioneering,
it will nevertheless be attempted here, if
we are not greatly mistaken. To prevent
their own ranks from being broken, and
to keep many of their own party from
running into ours, all effort will be made
by the loco foco leaders, to convince
their party that there is a division among
the wings. They have gone so far as to
classify them, in the following man
ner:--weslsrn wings. western bank wings,
yankee abolition wings. temperance
wings, religious wings, Bri'iiR wings, &c.
&c. This is done not only to keep up
the spirits of their own party, but to pro-
duce disafection among wings themselves!
But they can't come it. Such an attemp,
will turn out as did the quarrel between
the Irishman and his wife. An individual
seeing the husband beating his wife most
numerically, attempted to separate them
by taking the wife's part; but she, instead
of thanking him, turned round and attack
ed the stranger, calling out to her hus-
band, Patrick, Patrick, dear, throw sand
in his eyes," So will it be with The
wings at the proper time in this Territory
they will throw sand in the eyes of all
those who interfere with their ''sham
battles The wings in the countryside
bone and sinew folks--are sound to the
core, and the locos will find that it is too
late in the day to frighten, coax, or aboli-
! tionize them into the Van Buren, ranks.

MORDECAI AT THE GATE.

1t is quite amusing to see the opposi-
ton That is manifested by our opponents
against the Tippecanoe Club of,his place.
They know that it is most potent polit-
ical engine, and that the principles on
which it is founded are impregnable.
They therefore attempt to spit their ven
ON at some of its members, as if this
would impair the institution itself. II
doubts have heretofore existed in relation
to the utility of this institution they should
be Immediately dispelled by the peculiar
kind of opposition it has already met
with from the loco focos--and that too by
the rule they themselves have established
in deciding upon such matters. The
Club is well attended and the meetings
generally, are quite interesting.

Dear Sir, | have been regular reader
of your valuable paper since the first
No. this side of the "Great Waters and
have in the general, been we'll pleased
with your course as an editor, and par.
,ticularly. in your boldness in exposing
the midnight intrigue and destructive
policy of the Locofoco policy, but
must confess, that nothing you have said
or done, ever half so much pleased me,
as the merited contempt with which YOU
treated that base, slanderous and falsify-
ing paper, the Gazette, in your last No.
There can be but one opinion with I'M
prejudiced minds, respecting the last Ga
zet,e, that of utter contempt for the rep.
tile in human shape, who, is so far de-
graded as TO pour forth his venom through
the columns of that hbellous paper, a.
gainst every friend Of the Constitution
and laws.
| am satisfied that YOU will consult
your own interest, and the interest of the
Wings of the Territory, not to stoop to
notice any of the filth that may be put
forth through the columns of that paper,
for you are only taking up time and
space to dlsprove what is not believed
by any sane person, and it is useless to
reason with a person who has lost his
reasoning faculties, and more, you should
remember the old adage, that if you lay
down with dogs you must expect to rise
with feas.
/ g.
And further, you should recollect that
your paper, is the principal Wing organ
in the Territory, and for your course the
Wings have to render an account. w.
P. S.-The Gazette man, NAV Jump
upon this Communication as he does
upon you sometimes,'if hesdoes, please
make no reply, for would consider my
character injured by noticing any charge
that might be made against j, by tina
