HARRY OF THE WEST.

Oaee more to Heavens exulting breeze,
Our brave old banner throw;
Long wears we've stood beneath its folds,
We will not falter now:
We've sworn by all the ardent hopes
That Treason once has blighted,
Again to rally in its aid,
Determined and united:
We've chosen from our patriots true,
The wisest and the best,
And dare the battle shock anew,
With Harry Of the West.
When wars dread summons walked th'
land
TO terror and alright,
His voice inspired the hero's soul,
And nerved his arm with might:
And when all dark above US irowned,
With angry discord rife,
Chilling the patriots heart with fear,
With clouds of civil strife;
When every coward soul shrank back
And stunned the fearful test,
zone noble form withstood the storm,
Twas Harry of the West.
And ever when his country called,
His prompt response was made;
Noselfsh schemes his soul enthrallcd,
In her good cause arrayed.
Destruction hurled her poisoned shafts
But harmlessiy they flew,
For even malice had no power
To harm that Statesman true,
And dauntlessly in each assault,
He stood with stainless crest;
What noblor leader could we choose,
Than Harry Of the West?
Thos rally FOR shat gallant flag,
And for that glorious name,
Oar Joyous shouts shall mngle with
The calm award Of Fame.
For, Brothers! in our country's cause
Our sheathlsss sw ords we raise;
v strike not for the fcklo breath
Orevancsceat praise,
But bright shall glow on Hlstsry's page
By peace md plenty blest,

Strange as IL may appear to US, the
only aversion which the English ex-
hibit to war with France, is The appre-
hension that our government will avail
itself OF the occasion to take possession
of oregon and thus make ourselves a
party 10 the contest with France against
England. This Is very absurd bu! II
has had the good effect 10 check the
abuse of uss~in the English Press,
which has labpred so zealously for
wears past. 10 make every American
the enemy of England. As evidence
Of the change and Of the feeling which
prompts it, | need only quote the Lon
don Morning Chronicle Of the 20'hAu-
gust n lis leading article upon me
bombardment Of Iaagiers by France
and her desire of conquest IN the
Mediterranean. The Editor says
"fhe Mediterranean was not made
for Marseiles and France alone. 1t Is
a noble sea. the shores of which En-
rope and AMERICA must preserve IN far
more hands than one"
This is very significant; and think
may venture 10 predict that the Eng
lish Press will cease lis insane abuse
of our people aud their institutions so
long as there Is a probability OF
rupture with France--thus demon
s,ra,ing that their recent abuse has
been as cowardiy as they know 1t to
be unjust |. 10 fact, however. TO
which every American N England
can bear witness. that the Press which
has. from mercenaiv mpuves, heaPed
upon Us such ludiscr!minate abuse,
has ID reality done Us more good than
harm. Il has led the public mind TO
enquiries IN relation 10 our country
which would mol otherwise have been
instituted; and the result Is. that al

For The Ha,Ck Eye.
Mn EDiToR:-Permit me TO call the
attention Of our City Council, or our
City Marshsl TO whom the subject
more properly belongs) to the sxcs'a-
tons that are daily being made In cur
streets and upon the vacan, lots near the
.Town Branch" There is an Ordln-
ance now in force TO prevent the reno
val of earth or sand from the streets,
alleys, side walks, public grounds or
wharves of our city, and also an ordln-
ance for the purpose Of defining and
removingnuisances, containing section
which declares that all ponds Of stand
ing water, situated upon any vacant lot,
shall be considered nuisance; and
that the owner or claimant Of any va
cant or other lot, upon which there
shall be pond of standing water, shall
upon being notified by the Marshal. re-
move the same either by draining Or
filling up the same. Now if the Coun'
Gil have the right or power, to make
man fill up his lot, and thus vacate
nuisance, have they not the right, and
is it not their duty, to pass an ordinance
to prevent men from digging holes III
vacant lots and thus create nuisance!
During the last spring and summer al
of the lois situated in the lower grounc
along the "Town Branch" up as high
AZ Fourth street have been inundated
tby the high. water in the river-th'
CONSEQUENCE Of which was to check thu
current of the town branch, which usu
ally runs with a strong current into th'
river, carrying with i. large quantlie
of sand which formed bar much Il
the injury OF the landing in the lowe
par, of town. But this year the curren
of the branch being checked by tn
high water in the river, it deposited 1t
sand upon the streets and the lots ina
were overhowed, in some places to tn
I depth of five feet. As the water grad
ually receded and the people discovere
the sand deposited in the low grounds
thew became more thoroughly convlnc
ed of the truth of the old saying. 9Th;
no great evil can happen without som
small benefit" But as soon as the W;
Ter had sufficiently dried away. so as

deposited sand. from fifteen to .wens
