ono of them got ten dollar bill changed, receiving the
change in small bills In the evening on their return
home, when short distance from the Ferry in the
PRAIRIE the same they had seen in the city rode
up 10 them and demanded their money. The one who
had the money drew it out and 10 attempting to hand
il to him the wind caught the bills and carried them
of on to the ground. The man dsmounted to pick
them up, and as soon as he was down the ladies' put
whip to their horses and made off fast as possible.
On their way they heard the catter of of horses hoos
following hem but were too much terrified to stop or
look back.When they reached their own gate behold
the robbers horse was with them fine animal w.t., ,,
the man was no where in sight; they supposed his
horse escaped whilst he was picking up the bills. On
examining the saddle bags, alarge sum of money was
found and several articles Of wearing apparel, but
nothing by which his name could be discovered. Up
to Saturday last one had appeared to claim the

"The Campbells are coming"-and as coming
events cast their shadows before"-we COM
mend the letter which follows to our anxious
readers. We confess our appreciation of the
idea Swallowed forth by the Major, Of putting
things as they mere before the Golhs and Vandals
overrun the land. Most estmabe men-most
estimable institutions were "run of the track
and il after examination they are found worthy
we say restore them to positon-the counter
revolution we have experienced fully indicates
desire to return to what we were when pros.
perity smiled on industry. "The old guard
should not be overlooked, though the fog OF
modern day and party strife may have over
Swallowed them.
On OUR WAY TO WAsHIyGroN.
To The Editors Of the New York Express:
We are coming--slowly but surey-for as

believe that he who has been called to be
the President OF the United States, will &C,
with as honorable and patriotic feeling, with
as frank temper, and with as high and manly
aregard for the public good as ever distinguished
the head of Government. believe that those
who are to occupy our places here and in the

the same great and good feelings. They were
chosen under the same feeling, and will unite
with him in accomplishing the same great meas

fore the Senate, Mr.. Webster said, n wish
those who are now standing around our doors,
fresher from the People, had been left to act
upon tho question before the Senate. l had
hoped that this subject would have been left to
the next Congress, since by the next Congress it
must be discussed, and every thing relating to
our public domain. have" said Mr.. Webster,
'been friend of Prescriptions, and were this
Bill in totidem rerbio, the same as that which
passed at the last session, 1woud vote for it."
Mr.. Wright briefly replied to Mr.. Webster,
and promised at some future day to prove that the
lands ought not to be distributed among the
States. 81 will prove, in reply to the Senator
from Mass" said Mr.. Wright, 'that the General
Government owes nothing to the States; and il

The future the future! Oh might it for thee
BE full of the loyous-frOm sorrow be free;
And Oh that the hopes of thy bright early years
Night never prove false nor be saddened by tears.
As the blue winding stream in Luna's full light,
Throws back from its bosom the dull cloud of night
And feels not, needs not the gloom that around
But calmly flows on, giving scarcely sound
Oh thus might thy course be thro lifcs dreary vale
Thyself meier the sport of adversity's gale.
That smooth brow of thine neer be ru1led by pain
Nor thy heart feel the grief often caused by the van
Rut life is q scene both Of trial and wo;
Who then can expect to escape from the blow
OF affection unscathed, or untouched to remain
By evils that even earth's pleasures contain
Oh no, not for thee does the future appear
Like the bright sky of summer unclouded and clear
Not always thy pathway be strewed with gay flowers
Nor thou reposc softly in fair pleasant bowers.
Then grid thee for battle, thine armor put on
Though fierce be the contest the prize may be won;
Bright bright is the crown that the conqueror wears
Who trumphs DER darkness, the world and its snares
With God for thy friend and the Saviour thy guide,
Thou sure may'st with safety all dangers abide:
Then trust in his arm, and rely on his power,
And thou shalt be strengthened in sorrows dark hour
With such for thine allies, and such for thine aid,
Oh grieve not. though thee harsh burdens be laid
Soon, soon at the most will thy short race be run,
| Life's ills and lfes follles forever be done.
| Oh then with what Joy shall thy free spirit soar
| To regions of day where are joys evermore:
| Where all will be friendly and all will be blest,
| And thou from thy labors forever find rest.

TIE PUBLIC LANDS.

The Legislature of North Carolina, has pas
sed resolutions in favor Of distributing the pro-
Gees OF the sales of the public lands amongst the
States. 1t is the duty of every Legislature 10
nrge upon Congress this important measure. 1t
must be done speedily, fcver. 1t must be done
by the next Congress, or it may never be done.
The time is fast coming, when the States which
coded these lands to the Union for specific pur-
pose-the benefit of the whole--will be outnum-
beredby those which are already seeking to APP
propriate them to their own .eprate benefit.
After the next apportionment, it may be too late.
Surely fthcre be any question upon which men
should break through the lrammels of party, and
act for their country, and their whole country, it
is this. One thing is certain the lands cannot
remain in their present stuation.-Ether they
will be divided amongst all the States, or they will
be coded to the States in which they are situated
If coded to the new States, no matter on what
terms, it will amount to all actual gift for the gov.
ernment will be unable to enforce the terms OF
the contract, whenever the States may choose to
violate them. Once out of the custody OF the
general government, the public lands, the com.
mon inheritance of the whole country, are gone
forever.
