,,p,rrrN ON THE DEATH OF Az infant.
Can this be death? No, 'swas not deats
Tba, hushad thy guileless infant breath;
And called thy spirit to its home,
To dwell near Gods eternal throne
No-'twas not DEATH
Twas Heaven called.-a flower so fair;
Could not Breathe out existence here
But only with the angel band,
In richrcss clothed at Gods right hand,
Then was it death?
But short day as 'twere itliv'd,
In this rude vale OF tears nor grlevel-@
For gtief was stranger to its heart
10 lose it caused the tear to start
From many watchful eye,
And though its spirits now at rest,
And nough distIrbs its peaceful breast,
Ii is in Heaven blissfIl guest
Remembrance brings sigh
Rot could we only feel the joy,
That feels the bright-eyod cherub boy,
Who's free from poisonous alloy,
Wed gladly be away!
ANA join our father i'll the skies,
Where love and beauty never dies,
And deaths cold shaft its God denies,
We'd bless the glorious day.
Though cold the earth upon his form--
His spirit's far from earth's,ride storm,
No longer lie fellow worm,
OF animated clay!
B1.with his God who gave him breath
And singing triumphs over death,
lie wears an Angels shining wreath,
With Heavens bright array!

\ shameful Attempt at Defe ltation.
John c. Spencer is fit coadjutor Of
John Tyler. AT the last session of Con-
gress resolution passed calling upon
the Secretary Of the Treasury for, a
statement of its condition; showing "the
amount Of appropriations fer each year
from the 4th of March, 1929, to the 4th
Of March, 1913, exclusive Of the public
debt and trust funds"
In answer to this, Mr.. Spencer has
sent forth the lamest and most barelaced
attempt TO throw odium on the last Whlg
Congress. He produces not a statement
showing the appropriations for each
each year, but one showing the amt oI
nppropr ration bills passed in each year
for the expenditure not only Of that, but
also OF other years. Thus, says the
New York Commercial, the approPria-
tons made in the year from March. 4th
I842, to March 4th, 1843, appear TO
have been S46,359, 500; but they in
clude the expenditures to June 30th'
being in fact for more than two
years! The appropriations for 1912
were 19,455, 200; those for 1843 and
down to the 3O.h June 1914, were
S24,669d85. But the Secretary, inge-
niously substituting the wcrd IN Tor the
word for in his reading of the resolu-
ton, puts these two sums together, and,
adding to them the post Office apProprl'
alton, makes S46,39 800, and puts this
before the country as the Wing exPen-
dlture for one year!
The locofoco papers have Of course
seized this with avidity as nice theme
for descant upon their bugbear "Whig
Extravaganza"
lis pity FOR them how easily plain
tale can put them down. Mr.. John e.
Spencer's contemplate trick is hardly
worth words to characterize IT, 1t has
not even the merit Of ingenuity The
only quality necessary 10 plan and exc
cute so assinine, or more properly, Sc
ostrich like device was matchless impu-
dence. This last qualification, by the
way, is more important TO Tyler-men
than talent.--PAH. american.

The List.

We publish in the subjoned columns
the list of fraudulent votes given for tho
Peoples Constitution in this town, as
promised in our last In reference ia
its correctness, we have only to add to
what we remarked last week, that il
there are any errors in it, they are made
with no intention to deceive the public.
The utmost pains have been taken, we
are assured, to present a correct list -
the object being solely to disseminate
information upon this subject that could
be relied on for its accuracy.

THE NEWPORT FRAUDS.

Il We stated, yesterday, that we had anoihe
exhibition Of soverinnity, Us illustrated in th
voting on the "People's constitution" in New
port Below will be found list Of FIVE nun
DRIED AND FIFTy-Two ILLEGAL VOTES; We
gal, eren according 10 The provisions Of that an
sfra@ent, which itself was calculated to admi
almost every body 10 tho privilege Of voting
This, however, by no means includes all Tho
fraudulent votes even in that town, and we
shall probably be able to present an additional
list of about one hundred aud fifty. The
whole number Of votes returned from thai
town was twelve hundred and two. Ii will be
found letter written to him by Dutee J
Poarcc, proposing 10 obtain several hundred
fraudulent votes for the peoples constitution
Mr.. Dorr says that he wrote, in reply, that the
proposition was inadmssible; but neither he
nor Mr. Poarco has ever produced any such
letter. AS at all events, il has long been as
certaincd, that whoever may be responsible for
them, the frauds were perpctratsd, aud below
we present u list of n portion of them. Mr..
Dorr also says, "Mr. Pearco intended no fraud. "
If such was the case, that innocent aud un,
sophisticated gentleman must have been sadly
imposed upon.
There Is 40 reason to suppose that the voting
in Newport was any more fraudulent than in
other parts of the State. In this city they re-
turned R556 votes; whilo in March following,
with every possible effort, they only obtained
2l29 in an election conducted with the forms
and restraints Of law. True, Duteo J. Pearce
was in Nowporl but Burlington Anthony
and John 5. Harris were in Providence John
X. Waterman was in Warwick and it would
be unjust towards these gentlemen to place
them one whit behind Dutec in zeal for the
sovereignty In other towns were other men
quito as active and quite as unscrupuous. In
fact tho whole thing was conceived and brought
forth in fraud The fraud was planned BY the
leaders, and was carried out by The men under
their directions.
Tho following list is made from that furnish
ed by the Secretary Of the Convention which
counted the votes,
