PO
AUTUMN


Though once enamored with the Spring
Its pleasure and its bloom,
The pensive muse prefers to sing,
And touch the more congenial string,
OF Autumn's pleasing gloom.
She comes with all her sober train
The crown the changing year;
The juicy fruit, and shining grain
Are scattered DER the hills and plain.
To strengthen and to cheer.
OF late, the meadows, and the field,
And forest, waved in green;
The numerous flowers the garden yields,
Though long in embryo concealed,
In perfect bloom were seen.
Then to the verdant, shady grove,
The tuneful race resort;
Chanting their sweetest notes Of love,
The birds in amorous gestures strove
Their partners smiles to court.
But now these sprightly scenes are gone,
And Summers joys are fled;
Nature, of all her flown shorn,
Her motley colored garb puts on,
Of yellow, brown, and red.
And now the feathered choir no more
Their notes in concert blend;
But in assembling flocks appear,
Prepared their southern course 10 steer,
Ere wintry storms descend.
The enlightened eye can still survey
The scene, without regret )
Can view the suns departing ray,
That gilds the last autumnal day,
And witness his retreat.
The russell hue the meadows wear,
The fading, falling leaf,
The gathered products of the year,
Though numerous tribes demand their share
For man appears the chief.
From him the various seasons roll,
And in their time return;
Under the wise and firm control
OF Him who gave the immortal sonl,
And reason TO discern.
So life's successive seasons fly
It's winter, too, will come;
And nan is warned 10 turn his eye
To future scenes beyond the sky
His long, eternal home.

A new paper has recently been established
in Bowling Green, Pike county, Missouri, call
ed the RADICAL" published by "A. H. s. G.
W. Buckner. The principles of this paper are
democratic. We are not sufficiently acquainted
with the patronage afforded in that quarter, TO
form any opinion whether the "RADrcAL," in
addition to the "JouRxAL,'a an old and thorough
going democratic paper can be well supported
We wish all our brother typos success, of
Lfersonian Republican.
We are truly thankful for the kind wishes of
our Jefferson friend, but would beg leave TO I'M
deceive him as to the 'new paper" TO which he
alludes. BY reference to our prospectus in an
other column, he will discover that the "RADr-
CAL" is nothing more than the old "Journal" in
a new dress. As to the possibility of support
ing two Democratic papers in this section of the
country, we look upon it as rather dubious, tho
our folks are a democracy loving people and can't
be induced to believe that they can have too
much of it.

Their victories now are all Trojan trumphs.-
They can no more permanently succeed over

the English would gain if we went to war with
England. 1t is admitted that the English
would beat us at first, but their short-lived tri-
umph would only serve to put the country on

fire their blood, TO make them give up every

The VETO. The Locofoco papers are IL
busing the Wing democracy, and Governor
Paine, for putting forth the doctrine that there
should be some modification of the veto pow
err. Nothing less could be expected from
the blue light Loco federal party, who have ev-
er been the advocates of the doctrines of the
old federal leaders with Hamilton at their
head. The Locos, who a few years since
were for abolishing the Wing senate because
they declared Gen. Jackson a tyrant, are all
now for checks and balances, and would have
the President clothed with royal prerogatives
for fear the will of the people should prevail.
The wings would unroyalize the constitution
to replace the government in the hands of the
people, to whom it legitimately belongs. The
''the will of the people, and not the will
of a single man." will be perpetual On the
banner under which they fight.
