JOHN TyLEn.-We have no sympathy for
John Tyler, although we admire the courage
which has enabled him mantully to face his
own party in the discharge of his duty We
like his voices yet we repeat 1t. we have no
sympathy for'the man. A democrat in heart,
he left the democratic party from mere person
al feeling, aud under that feeling, connected
himself with the opposition. Under that feel.
ing he allowed himself to be run for Vice Pres-
dent, knowing that if the Providence of God
should place him ultimately in the Presden.
tial Chair, he could not satisfy the party with
whom he had associated himself. Uuder that
same personal feeling, he signed the bill re
pealng the Snb-Treanry, and was unable to
a!fer any better Substitute than mere pifgta-
ia abstrcti0n; the consequence is, that the pub
lie funds are in hazardous condition, and La
bic to constant and undeteced pecula,ion.
'iHe is joined to his idols, let him alone"
The only proper course for the democratic
party is TO adhere faithfully to their own organi
cation, and TO those men wh1, in hour Of temp
talion, while dazzling promises were he held
up before their eyes, man!nlly met the enemy
Let US make no compromise with John
Tyler, or any of his s. omnibus" company.
For the sake Of the country, we will be proper
~ thankful for all the democracy of his adj
minlslraton, and at the end of his first term,
give him an opportunity, in the calm retreat Of
his homestead, to ponder we'll the great game
OF politics he has unwisely played. -Port-

The maiden sat at her busy wheel,
Her heart was light and free,

Her bosom's harmless glec.
Her song was in mockery of love,
And oft I've heard her say,
"The gathered rose and the stolen heart
Can charm but for day.

And her lip so full and bright,
And sighed to think that the traitor love
Should conquer heart SO light;
But she thought not of future days of wo,
While she caroled in tones so gay,
"The gathered rose and the stolen heart
Can charm but for day"
a year passed on and again stood
BY the humble cottage door;
The maiden sat at her busy wheel,
But her heart was blythe no more;
The big tear stood in her downcast eye,
And with signs heard her say,
"1he gathered rose and the stolen heart
Can charm but for day."
Oh! well I knew what had din,med her eye,
And made her cheek SO pale;
The maid had fogotten her early song,
While she listened to Loves soft tale,
She had tasted the sweets of his poisoned cup,
It had wasted her life away,
And the stolen heart like the gathered rose
Had charmed hut for day.

All feeding on the mountain;
I love to see drunkard drink
From out the living fountain;
At first, upon his knees he gets,
And then he sticks his nose in,
But soon he slips, and then, Aer-souse,
His head and shoulders goes in.

The NFxr PRFslDrNr.-The Washington
correspondent of the N. York Herald writes
column of speculations in relation TO the sup
posed aspirants for the next presidency and
the prospects of political parties in that contest,
in which he says:
..As to the candidate of the wings. 1t is
matter of equal uncertainty and ns'gnlhcance.
He mus, fail who ever he is. The country Is
essentially democratic, and the democratic
party must therefore prevail. Ii rises TO new
power and strength whenever it is purified BY
a defeat, and even now, largely ascendant all
over the Union. Who will be its candidate is
an important, if not difficult question; but
wba, are the probabilities
There will be no ultimate division Of the
party, as might at first be apprehendcd from
the multiplicity of the aspiran.s, All the DIFF
fcu!iy will be in the preliminary arrangements,
The genins of the party. and its Incompatible
discipline will keep it united on the nominee,
and its numbers will be increased by the
friends cf all men who seek and strive 10 be
that nominee.
