1--WE publish with grea, pleasure the following line
bya gentleman who has written many brilliant lyrics
among which will be recollecsed his ApostIophe to tn
Ocean, commeucipg-
Likeness of Heaven!

THE MOUNTAIN PINE OF SCOTLAND.
The mountain pine of Scotland it ivesh in delight
Aloft where lightning g-banners lead the thunder
clouds of night;
Not from the soil that deeply lies in the io"iano
vallies down,
Does the pine his sceptred arm extend, or i'tt MS
leafy crown.
But on his heri,ancc ofhights where the oiood'red
sunsets play,
Like meteor plumes on warrors helm at the
close of battle day,
There-there he stands the mountain king, and q
glorious king is he,
As he sees with pride every side his forest
chivalry.
Whist know they of his glery what feel they of
his pride,
Or of the loud-wheeed thunder trains that round
his empire ride
They who have never seen him soar where the
eagles vision fails,
From his native Highlsnd heather dark to wrestle
with the galeo?
"Loosed is food Of sunlight" the gloom is
changed to gold,
And the cascades of orchestral sounds their scenic
pride unfold,
And, by that lustre, deeply down, each calm ro-
mantle scene
Is vista'd off by sun-touched glades that ope to
meadows green.
Hath jail the Arab fairy realm gorylik to this
Beauty and power and fear and Joy in one ecstatc
bliss?
One glance to those eternal pines when storm
clouds are unfurled
Is far beyond the spell-buit nails of the Genii 5
spirit world.
Pine trees are in Glengary Glemorison, Glenmore,
Strathgass, Lock-Shiel, Findhorn and calm Lock-
Arkaig's shore,
And pine trees by the Dee shut out the pale moon
pensive star,
With foliage dark of Invercaud, and the spread
ing of Braemar.
But over all in pride and strength and ancientness
and power,
Stands firm Clan-Apine's banner-tree topping the
mountain tower,
Girt by his own dominions-deep rocks and cliffs
around,
Unweakened by the tempest's breath or the tor
rents wasting bound.
Then live the pine of Scotland, that dwelleth in
delight,
Up where the lightning banners lead the thunder
clouds of night
Long may its carnival of leaves be joyous in the
light,
While all look up to that kingy tree on his throne
of ancient might.

THE INDEPENDENT SPIRIT.

The Philadelphia Ledger after Indignantly repe-
ling the charge of the N Y. Courier and Enquirer,
that the Independent Press had been "bought up by
the President" thus concludes its article
No! The 'penny press" is not and will not be sold
to this or any other administration and far the
Ledger is concerned, our readers have our positive
to the entire falsty Of the Couriers whole
story, 1t is utterly, thoroughly groundless. We
have thus far, rendered to the present Executive of
the United States efficient support than it has
received from all the partisan presses combined. But
this support has been rendered to right and not to
John Tyler and his cabnet to the country, and not
to its public officers merely such. The same sup
port would be rendered to any persons in the same
stations for the acts for true to principles
Of supporting right and opposing wrong, shall

their country and oppose them in all neglect vio

corporate incorporate, public or private, and we
will take favors upon the slightest sacrifice Of
right If John Tyler and his cabinet want such sup
port, they always sure of by doing right accord
ing to our views and so is any executive And John
Tyler and his cabinet will get such support mithout

THE LAW OF USURY.

If there be remnant Of antiquity totally I'M
suited to the genius and spirit of the present
time, it is the absurd restriction imposed on the
coffee, may be sold for what il is worth in the
market and its price may be graduated accord
ing to demand without any Infringement of
law, human or divine and yet, if it be converted
into cash, the proceeds are unavailable except
under certain limitations, which our ances-
tiers thought proper to impose during times and
under circumstances totally different from those
which exist at present. When usury laws
were first introduced, ready money was in the
hands of very few, who, having monopoly
of the article, were disposed to make their profit
out of it by preying upon the necessities of the
thriftless or unfortunate, and il was, therefore,
deemed wise to protect the many against the
feao, by establishing rates of interest beyond
which the money seller could not carry his ex-
actions from the money buyer. In drawing the
distinction between this and every other article of
merchandise, an attempt has been made to attach
to what is called money a peculiar character on
account Of the conventional value attached TO it
by the act of coinage, but certainly no real
change can have been wrought in the worth
Of the commodity itself: and whatever price
may have been attached to given weight. de-
signated by peculiar stamp, no essential altera-
ton could have been effected. For instance,
an ounce Of silver, marked with certain stamp,
may be made to pass in trade at particular
rate-say one hundred cents, or given weight
of copper marked with another particular stamp
but, most assuredy the conventional values thus
| affixed had no efficacy in altering the price OF
the silver, or the copper, in bars. Now, if we
have one hundred ounces of silver, in bars, we
can sell them for $3.50 in coin without infring-
| ing the law of usury but if our one hundred
ounces happen, unfortunately to bear certain
marks or impressions, then we become offenders
against morality and the law of the land. The
absurdi,y of any such distinction will, we think
be evident TO the most ordinary thinker. 81
much for the foundation on which usury rests
| Now, let us see what are its effects on the com
munity. In the first place, the law of usury of

REFORM-THE MADISoNIAN

In the debate on Saturday we were, as we
learn, accused by more than one member OF
haunting" the House with its puny efforts at
reform, and of endeavoring 10 bring into con
tempt the abors of the Committee on Expendi-
lures. We plead not guilty. We are and al
ways have been the advocates of reform; but
we said, and say again, that the method adopt
ed by the Committee renders system of re
form hopeless and we said, too, that the debate
so long protracted, cost more than the reform
proposed which originated it would save We
which Mr. Summers is chairman, nor on him,
nor on any member of t--nor did we wi n to
discourage in the smallest degree the zeal which
has been manifested in The cause OF rerench-
IN MT We stated the fact Of the protracted de-
bate, and we alleged that the plan of The Com
mltee would probably be productive Of none OF
the results intended This is the whole extent
Of our crime. If there is any any guilt in our
opinions, the guilt remains.
We still think that while the investigations
Of the committee should have been conducted
analytically, their report should have mboded
some general principles obtained by their in
duction. BY giving to the House the results
they reached, the debate would be greatly alb
bregiated--since the subject of discussion woulc

Increasingly renewed TO wearisome length on
a series or isolated facts.
The mode adopted for effecling the reform is
such as TO forbid all expectation that il will be
complete. building, whose symmetry has been
ruined and solidity deteriorated by frequency
OF attempt at repairs, can never be restored to
strength or beauty. Wisdom teaches US 10

ture on the foundation The reform in the diff
ferent branches Of the Government, 10 be per-
manently beneficial, must be thorough. To
lop of small excrescences will avail nothing.
They will grow again and increase beyond their
former size.
We are not opposed TO the objects the Com
mittee has In view, we are not opposed 10 re-
form-on the contrary. we are its most strenu-
Gus advocates, and We do not approve the course
Of the Committee simply for the reason, that
we conceive little reform will be effected by its
labors, however upright their intent, and how
ever earnest their industry.
