the 10Th inst, says We were shown the
other day, in the finishing room of the
Middlesex Manufacturing Company, in
this city, most beautiful piece of black
cashmere, the wool of which was raised on

cloth was most elegant We have ever seen.
There can, we think, be but little doub
that this country, before many years, will
not only be able 10 supply our manrfacl-

will be exported to England. lfsuch fine
specimens of wool can be raised in Miss

Death and Disoppo,nfment,

A few weeks after the conversation al>
luded to in the last chapter, the old man
sent for his family TO his bedside, which
he had not left for several days, and with
a half repressed chuckle of satisfaction,
informed them that he had an important
secret to reveal. Mrs. Lincoln bent ca
gerly over him, Priscilla seated herself
with her usual quiet composure, and Lizzie
half drew back.
"You have repeatedly told me, madame,
that it was for my own sake. you valued
me so highly-for my own superior quail
tiles of mind and heart. for my striking
resemblance to your deceased husband.not
for my wealth-ihat wealth was nothing
| in the eyes Of affection, etc. L thank you
as YOU deserve for this assurance i would
not insult you by moments doubt of its
sincerity" Mrs. Lincoln smiled benign.
ly. and Lizzie turned impatiently to the
window. 81 have taken you at your
word, and fully trusting to its truth, have
made my will accordingly. 1t is in the
hands of my solicitor. l have left the
whole of my vast property in specie and
landed estate--with the exception of
trifling gift TO one who is very dear to me
Ito a distant relative, the only one who
has never troubled me with his company,
his attentions or his fattery, poor ap.
prentice at dry goods store in America"
Unable TO conceal her disappointment
and vexation. Mrs. Lincoln retired from
the room. Priscilla followed with state
ier step than usual, and Lizzie, springing
from the window, clasped her uncle's hand,
exclaiming. "I am so glad am so glad
Now can nurse you with pleasure, and
love you as much as | choose J"
The old man was speeches. at first with
surprise and joy, and al length he exclaim>
ed" Is it possible that you can really
care for me %
"Dear, dear uncle, were you not kind
to my poor father, in trouble! Did you
not assist him with your purse and your
influence and do you think can ever
forget il ?"
The invalid sunk back on his pillow
with closed eyes, through which tears, the
first he had shed for long years, stole over
his withered cheeks and murmuring.
THANK God !" fell into tranquil sleep,
still holding Lizzie's hand fast locked in
his. From that time until his death,which
happened in few days, she nursed him
with the Tenderness and attention of an
afiectionate daughter.
Mrs. Lincoln was agreeably surprised
to find on opening the will, that the " tri-
fling gift 10 one very dear to him." was
not less than a sum Of 1000, bequeathed
TO her daughter Elizabeth.
The latter generously, or as she said,
justly, shared this sum with her mother
and sister. and affairs went on as before.
excepting somehow the rambles after flow
ers in the woods grew longer and more
frequent.

said poor Lizzie, blushing and smiling,
when one day a friend questioned her too
closely on the subject.

And the song, as he scampered to save his bones

The sight of Il Coon skin made him quail;
He Jumped like thief to s'cut dirt" tune,
And heard, while he yelled like frightened loon,

On ne WIN
And he took ont his way through Maryland State,
Put it followed him there like hue and cry
That terrible sound whichhe could not fly
Get out of the way, &c.

His head became bald as a shaved baboon;
When he reached Lnidenwald he sighed "l'm TN
lucky"
For the people all sing, as they shouted" Kentucky
Get out of he ways SC.
So the fox lay down, and his voice got wheezy-
His face grew pale, and his stomach uneasy;

the institutions of our country, in their purity and sim.
| pl,city, let US take an immovable stand against a u.
States Bank, or any institution with any other name
with such evil pro pensities, with a tendency to corrupt
aud enervate a people; whether such institution be DIS
guissd by the term of Exchequer or Fiscal Agent, or
any other name to escape the vigilance or hoodwink
the principles Of the people.
But, while the opinion Of Mr.. Van Buren, is so warm
ly approved of, in relation 10 q United States Bank, and
other subjects which he treats on, regarding The inca
sures fit and proper for the action Of the Federal Co.
vernment, together with his views upon most OF the
questions IN immediate connection with the Consiitu.
ton, l cannot agree with him upon the subject OF the
Tariff. An I'D valorem tariff seems to me most equita
bile aud most proper for the country. Whenever this
tariff IS departed from, and a discrimination made in The
rate of duties, let it be defended rs it may, turn it and
shape it in whatever form, it is q Protective Tariff, and,
as such, against the spirit, if not The letter Of the Con-
%stltution. Set aside this, and Mr.. Van Buren, is ortho-
dox IN his communication TO the committee. Save this,
he is unexceptionable, and praise worthy throughout in
his answer.
General Cass, Mr.. Buchanan and Col. Johnson arc
OF the same opinion as Mr.. Van Buren, upon this sub.
ject, l know not whether MIR. Calhoun is in favor OF
an I'D valorem tar'f;-he is short and concise in his an
swer to the Indiana Committee and other communlca'
tons from him leave a doubt as to what his sentiments
are upon this subject. (See his Letter to MIR. Robert
Nicholas, Of Louisiana, about the Sugar Duty)
When we recollcct that our downfall, temporarily,
was with Mr.. Van Buren,, as President, and that his
Republican Administration was assalled and over
thrown by means derogatory to the sober intelligence
of the country, it seems right and proper that We should
rebuild our principles, and return to a Republican al
ministration, with MIR. Van Buren, at its head. | am,
therefore, in favor of Mr.. Van Buren, as our next pre'
sideut. In further recommendation Of Mr.. Van Buren,,
he has never offended against the Democracy of the
country. He has been consistent. He has been firm
and immovable in support OF Republican doctrines. |
am. therefore, in favor Of Mr.. Van Buren, for the next
President of the United States. But, while | declare
MIR. Van Buren, my hrst choice for this first office, and
General Cass as my second choice, | will ardently sup.
port whoeve may be the nominee of the Democratic
National Convention for the station. will cheeriully
yield my preference for these two distinguished Cit.
zeas, should the nomination of the Convention call for
it.
But little has been said about the second Office, the
Vice President. | am in favor OF, and trust the Con
ven,ion will nominate, Mr.. Polk of Tennessee for it,;
who, like Mr.. Van Buren,, has never ollie ended against
the principles of Democracy. BREFlS.
