The Bangor Courier of Monday last
says:--"It is stated h ere, and is true, that
Captain Talcott and his surveying party
north of St. John, have been recalled,
while the party south of the river will

to indicate, but almost to prove that the

OUR CONDITION, July,

All except nabobs and oflice-holders,
With empty pockets, thousands of fami-
lies reduced to want, ashamed of old
clothes; nothing to purchase new ones,
"dunned at every corner and unable to get
one debt paid that is due them, toiling
without the hope Of reward, baked at e.

broad road to ruin
THE CAUSE.
A bad administration of the government
for the last twelve years, and worse one
now-the reign of King John the LIST,
whose arbitrary power has blasted the
fair fame of the Republic.
TIE REMEDY.
A tariff for the protection Of the Amerl-
can people from the block suckers OF Eu-
rope, and sound national bank.
THE RESPONSE OF TIE PEOPLE.
Away with these days Of Locofoc oism.
Away with the locofoco dreams of ''mint

HARRY OF TIE WEST.
BY J. II. wAELANp, ESQ.

BY J. II. wAILAND, ESQ.
Once more our glorious banner out
Upon the breeze we throw
Beneath its folds, with song and shout
Let's charge upon tho foe
Our chosen chief, alas! no moro
Shall place his lance i'll rest
But well we know the love he bore
Our Harry OF the West:
Oar Harry Of the West, my boys,
Our Harry OF the West.
Then brothers rise, and rully round
Tho Statesman ever true,
Until his name, with trumpet sound
Shall wake the week.-mrs. blue,
And millions, with admlrlng eyes,
Shall call him from his rest
The Hero OF new victories,
Our Harry OF the West.
When sought the red coats, as ofold,
The empire of the FREE,
AID British cannon once more rolled
Its thunder DER the Sea-
Who loudcst chccred our gallant tars
And fired the soldiers breust-
Till victory hailed our stripes and stars,
But Harry OF the west
And when no more the grooming South
To SPAN would bend the knee,
But rising, at the lannon's mouth,
Proclaimed she would be free
Who heard his burning accents fall
And reared her starry crest
Young INDEPENDENCE at the call
OfHary ofthe West.
WIENER forgot the common veal,
And party waves run strong,
TIL cen the wisest halt, and feel
That every thing goes wrong.
There's one the olive branch who brings
Aud hills the storm tn rest,
Till Peace comes on her anger wings
IT'S Harry of the West.
Let Ty and Calhoun "jump just So"
And dance Virginia reels"
Each striving which to Wings can show
The cleanest pair Of heels.
Let Loco Focos bid him hail;
Well head their trait'rous guest:
Kentucky rifles never fail
With Harry Of the West.
Let Van his notified forces drill,
Till Benton swears It's hard,
And Captain Tyler shows his skill
With his tremendous "Guard,"
What care we for them, great and small,
Fen though they do their best?
For Old kcntuck will head them all
Our Harry ofthe West.
The honors which the hero won
Encrclc not his head
Like withered wreaths, they rest upon
.4nOthcr's brow instead
The Statesman never iaithless known,
The worthiest and the best,
Shall make them bloom again-our own
True Harry oftho West.
Then let the glorious banner float
To the sunshine and the blast,
Till Victory sounds her bugle note,
The din of battle past!
No brighter name can lead us on,
High on its folds impressed,
Than thine, Truths gallant Champion,
Our Harry ofthc West

OUR POSITION.-We were called upon
this week by prominent member of the Wing
party, who expressed himself strongly against
our course in hosting our banner in the manner
we have done, and warmly charged us with die
tating to the Wing party of the county. He is
not opposed to raising the name of Henry Clay,
Gas we understand him. but to adding "subject
to no decision but that of the ballot box" We
told him that although we had not the least
doubt that ninety nine out of every hundred
wings in the ,unty would support us in our
position, wo hosted that banner Oon
responsibility, that it was expression of our
ocn feeling OH the subject, and that it was our
impression that we had perfect right TO express
in the Cecil wing, our opn opinion on any ques-
ton we thought proper.
In revolving the matter ovei since, we can come
to no other CONCLUSION. The establishment of
the "Whig," belongs to the Wing party; they
have placed the paper under our charge; we have
made greater sacrifice in accepting it, than they
did in granting it. While We manage it, we
shall admit into its columns what ever we think
&. i proper, and through them VIC shall express
cur oun opinions without fear.
Wa profess to be wing of the old scho OIL to
DO in favour ofthe leading wing measures of the
day, and we are quite sure that we will be sup
ported by large majority of the Wings of Cecil;
| when we become satisfied Of the reverse, it will
take no persuasion to induce us to resign tie
Cecil Wing into other hands.
We dictate to no party-to no man, and to
balance the scale, no n,al-no party shall die
tate TO us.
Therc'fo' We assure every gentle man who is
opposed to our advocating Henry Clay for Pros-
dent, subject to decision but that Of the boot bor,
that we do it on our orn individual responsibility
with no spirit of dctaton, nor of submission.
Our judgment is convinced that the whole
country would be benefited by his electlon-that
the nation owe him the Presidency hence, the
movement wo have made is just and ,ight;-the
breathings out Of the mighty sovereign people
throughout the land, convince us that it is poll
tic; by the latter impression We would be indu ed
10 support hun in order to he in the majority-by
the former VIC would Ike bound to support him
in the face Of every opposition, to hand up our
ballot j: scribcd with his nu,ne, though it were
the only vote ho received in the country.

Pill DREAM OF THEE AT EVEN
TIDE

I'll dream of thee at eventide,
When stars are bright above,
When thro' the mind sweet memories glide,
And all is peace and love.
I'll sigh for thee when glances soft,
Are melting into mine,
And other lips sha II whisper oft,
The love now breathed by thine.
And tho smile and look as gay,
As those whose hearts are free,
My own will waste itself away,
In mournful signs for thee.
I'll think of thee when am far,
Away from thee and thine,
Thy memory like distant star,
Around my path will shine.
