FOR THE ENQUIRER.

SONG.
 Thy breath is sweet as the air of morn,
 Bland as the western gale,
 Like fragrance from the rose bud borne,
 Scenting afar the vale.
 Thy locks are soft as the cider down;
 Their gloss is pure as the ray
 Ofthe moons bright face on the ocean thrown,
 Or the sun at the close of day.
 Thy voice is sweet as the song of night,
 When waking from fond blissful dreams,
 Wild plaintive notes our souls invite,
 While the moon through our lattice gleams. Sparkling in the sunbeam warm,
 The glassy dew is not so bright
 As thy sweet eye of subtle charm,
 Its presence day, its absence night.
 ODE.
 Ad Idem.
 Envy, with her partial eye,
 Views no shade of fault in thee;
 Eve in beauty could not vie,
 Lady love! with aught like thee
 Imagination cannot form,
 Nor aught so perfect be
 Adorned with every witchng charm,
 Cndian divine as thee!
 Enraptured with intense emotion
 Silently and steadastly
 Each feature and each graceful motion,
 Lady, adore in thee
 Take my hand, heart, and affection,
 Image of divinity
 Never sweet protection
 Fer be found for them as thee. SS.

confined in the prisons for political offences were
released by Santa Ana, on his birthday; but the

The inaugural address of Santa Ana to the Le-

The assumption Of the Herald that our farmers

Agricultural produce in America as if they were

part, is not its audacity akin to madness Who
can be deceived by it Compare the British and
American Tariffs-and the British duties on such
articles as we produce in excess will be found 10

ARREST OF Jos. SMlrl1-This noted parsonage
was arrested on Friday last, the 23d inst, at
Palestine Grove, Lee county. in this State, by the
stable of Hancock county, Illinois. 1t appears
that Smith had left home with his family, for the
purpose of visiting some relations residing at the
above named place, in whose company he had
already spent some four or five days, when the
arrest was made. He was taken to Dixon, the
country seat of Lee county, where he remained,
in the custody of the officers, through the night
and on the following day, by the advice of his
counsel, proceeded, in company with them and
the officers, to Ottawa, for the purpose of being
brought before Judge Cation (he being the near
est Iudgc,) for trial on writ of Habeas Cor
pus. The Judge not being at home the parties
returned to Dixon, on Monday morning, where,
after short consultation, they again resumed
their line of march for Quncy--cxpccting there,
doubtless to appear before his honor Judge Doug
lass, for an acquitta, when he will no doubt be
successful. Illinois Register.
