the young men Of New York, he is yer,
strong, and should Mr.. Bouck be elected
Governor, no one can doubt but that the
executive influence will be operating in his
favor. In the South and in Congress, the
friends OF Mr.. Calhoun are equally strong,
so that he may be said 10 hold the veto
power, at least, in his hands. 1t might be
dangerous for the Democratic party to
provoke it. 1t is also whispered, that the
Hon. james Buchanan, with great diSin.
terestedness and self denial, will come to
his support. If this be true. Calhoun will
be strong in Pennsyl> an;a; in the same
manner that Mr.. Buchanan will strengthen
his position in the South, and secure the
Southern vote to certainty for the next
presidency. There will be no rivalry be-
tween those two great men, as between
tween Clay and Webster. 1t is not be-
ueath the talent and standing of Mr.. Bu-
chanan TO serve such man as Mr.. Cal
houn, and we should not be surprised if
both were TO run on the same ticket. 1t is
moreover understood that Mr.. Buchanan,
Mr.. Calhoun and General CaSS are in ia.
vor of one term.
The Democratic party is thus divided in.
TO three distinct sections, to say nothing OF
the other aspirants and their partisans for
the presidency. This renders its position
more precarous, the greater its success
may appear in the present elections. All
large armies have been leaten, b. cause it
is difficult to make them act in unison, and
because the responsibility is divided among
their leaders. Each thinks himself strong
enough to conquer, or negiects TO do his
dut', because his friends are strong enough
without him. Under these circumstances,
much will depend on the course pursued by
the President. 1t may be that John Tyler
will hold the balance ofpower in his hands;
but it is difficult 10 foresee how he will use
it. Perhaps few weeks will inform US.
In the mean time, we will wait for Mr.. |
Webster's second great speech in New
York.

is great public blessing.
After the failure of the credit system,
came the Congress remedy for it, the
bankrupt law, providing for general repu,
dation of private debts. The States have
not yet fallen so low as this, and it is
TO be hoped that they never will. Some
of them may be unable to pay at present,
bul none of them have yet Iegalized SWIM

The great principle of the credit system
is to borrow what you can and pay what
you please. 1t is dishonest, poverty pro-
ducing and demoraIizing system; it has
been the bane of this country. There Is

Banks which are generally conducted on

In comparison with other periods the

And seek the heart of her,
Who will, to priceless gems, know,
Thy Iite-warm tints prefer.
Go, faithful herald, speak
Ofhim whose voice is dumb
Who, neye more loves smiles 10 seek,
In household bowers will come.
Give back the manly form,
The sprit-beaming BROW
Give back the lips with love once warm
So cod-so clay-col now.
Give back--but it's in vain
Thou canst not give the dead;
And if thou couldst--let rest remain
Peace to his grassy bed.
OH brother--most beloved
Long suffering soIely tried
In sorrows fiery furnace prov'd-
Smitten in manhood's pride!
Thou kindest, dearest, best!
How bitter was thy doom!
How dark the judgment that impressed
Thy brightest years with gloom!
l ov'd thee with strength
Passing sisters love;
And time with all its breadth and length,
That love can never move.
Go, silent image, go,
To that fond, widowed breast
Once the soft pillow of his woe
There find thy hallowed nest.
Fare well!-One long, last gaze-.-
Methinks thy lips find breath,
And whisper, "we shall yet embrace,
In chimes that know not DEATH"

MEXICO.
Locust Dell.

The U. s. steamship Missouri, from We,
ra Cruz, which port she left on the 18th
inst, arrived at the Balize, on the Goth
bringing among her passengers. six of the
late Santa Fe prisoners. 1t is generally
ppo,ed that all our difficulties with Mex.
leo are satisfactorily ad justed, and that Mr.
Southal, the bearer ofdespatches from our
Minister t, Mexico, who came home in the
Missouri, brought the necessary documents
to establish pacific relations between the
two countries. The Sloop Of war Fal.
mouth was lying In the harbor of Vera
Cruz when the Missouri sailed, waiting to
receive S250,0O0 in specie, to be sent to
New Orleans. 1t seems 10 be the general
opinion that the new constitution OF Mexi.
CO will be federal in its character. This
will not suit the views OF Santa Anna,
whose heart is set upon the establishment
Of a consolidated despotsm. He has re-
tired to his country seat, under the plea of
bad healto, (although it is said he never
looked better in his lte,) leaving General
Bravo, as P. DIVISIONAL President If the Re.
public. IN the meantime, he has taken
care to have The troops so stationed as to
be most effective in seconding his views
whenever il becomes necessary TO make
demonstration of his real object. Much
doubt seems 10 exist as to the probability
of Yucatan being forced to become an in
tegral portion OF the so:called Republic OF
Mexico. If Santa Anna is success ul in
the prosecution Of his plans, she will doubt
less be forced TO succumb; but if he meets
with much opposition, she may gain time to
so strengthen herself, as to set at defiance
the efforts of Mexi,o to prevent the estab-
lishment of another independent Republic
in North America.--Vi cks. Scntiaei.

T1E subscriber has the rights for this
IL and Holmes county for Mill to
grind Cobs and Corn together, or separate.

and practical kind and is applied to the
common plantation mills of the country
now in use, requiring no additional ex.
pense for new buildings, frame work, new
mill stones or machinery excepting the
simple apparatus furnished bv the suhscr:
Der himself. The use of these mills has
become quite general in Adams and Jeffer-
son counties and other parts of this State
and Louisiana. They are afforded at
comparatively trihng sum, and besides fur
nishing a superior feed for stock it is est.
mated by those now using them, including
many OF the first Planters of the last above
mentioned counties and Louisiana, that the
saving effected thereby is from one.third
to one half. The subscriber now offers
these mills to the Planters of Madison and
Holmes and is prepared to attend to any
applications that may be made from either.
One Of the mil can be seen at Major w.
