POHEA'S VOTES.

We refer our readers TO the votes Of
Mr.. Polk found in this paper they show
that he has Away been the decided oppo-
nent of the Tariff.
In every section of our country where
the Tariff is popular, the locofoco tapers
are trying to make the people believe thai
he is Tariff man. But whoever max es
such an effort is a deceiver, and whoever
believes il, believes lie.
Friends of The tariff suffer not YOUR
selves to be deceived and cheated. James
k.Polk is opposed to your lavorte inca
sure, always was, and always will be. We
warn you at the peril of the best interests
OF your country not to vote for him.

MACHINE POETRY.

And do then wonder that Ada deceived me,
When there's Rothing in nature more common.
She vowed to be true, and while vowiDg she
Lef me,
But could expect any more from woman.
Ada: did love you, and my soul was all flame,
But my head was SO full Of romance,
Tha, fancied you into some chivalry dame,
And was your knight Of the lance.
But you was not of the fancifu school,
And you laugh'd at your poor little knight.
While ! thought you GODDESS, you thought me
fool,
And III swear you was most in the right.
AMo, TO ADA.

there is no use in trying: and so we
might as well give it up! Let me tell,
you, my dsconsolate friends, that few
drops of the sweet oil Of hope and a
penny-worth of perseverance, will
sometimes work wonders. A man OF
energy puts himself into the centre OF
crowd; and if he doesn't find room to
work them, he makes room. He com
mences with the kee-hole saw Of deter
mination. and by degrees he soon o.
pens space enough whereon to lay the
foundation of future temple of wealth.
Ambition never complains of a con-
ilicting multitude-the more it is rub
bed against and jostled, the more it
works up, like an inverted wheat-head;
and many bird OF genius has been
scared up from under foot for fear OF
being trodden upon, which never be-
fore considered that it could fly, any
more than a toad would think Of flying
with a coat Of tar and feathers on its
back.
NV dear friends-the world doesn't
want widening. 1t is your ideas of il
that need charging. Because this
great city Of Gotham is vile nest OF
bed-bugs, each living upon and devour-
ing each, you mustn't suppose that
there are no places upon earth where
subsistence is gained, and wealth acquir-
ed by honest and hard-earned industry
that there are no spots between here
and shutdown where young man
can distinguish himself in some other
way besides forging notes, seducing
girls, and cheating tailors--and that a
purer quality Of happiness is not to be
found on mountain tops and in the
plains than in the crowded and corrup-
ted marts. Many wilderness is yet
TO be made TO bloom like garden
villages are yet TO spring up and dot
the green valleys of the west like white
clusters of daisies in the meadows; and
desola,e places now inhabited by bats
and owls shall be transformed, by
magic as it were, into the abodes of
noble, intelligent, and enterprlsng
men, and beautiful women. Grumbe
about the world not being wide enough
for you! don't believe you would
be satisfied if you had as much room
upon earth as pismire in eternity
So mote it be! Dow, JR.

SENECA LAKE.-Late attempts TO
sound this lake have proved unsuccess-
full. A curious phenomena connected
with it, is said to be its septennial rise
and fall. For seven years it gradually
rises, until it has gained its maximum
height, when it commences falling a.
gain, and for the next seven years grad
ually declines. Bottles filled with
fresh water, and Theoretically sealed,
have recently been sunk in it to a
greater depth; and, on being afterward
opened, they have been found to con-
tain SAT- water. The truth of this is
doubted by a contemporary, on TIE
ground that the change could not take
place, the bottles being sealed. The
experiment in sea water, however, is
no new one. Glass is in measure
porous, and in this case seems incapa-
bic Of resisting the pressure Of the salt
water on the outside Of the bottle
Thus, the lighter fresh water is forced
out, and the sea-water takes lis place.

IMPEACHMENT OF TYLER.


There appears to be a general call from
the Press, in every direction which the Tex
ian documents have reached,f for the impeach-
ment of the TRAITOR TYLER. The reading
of those documents has awakened the Peo-
pie TO a lively sense of the danger in which
our form of government viii be placed, il
this manifest and glazing usurpatlon of the
power of Impeachment is disregarded, and
its use omitted in so fragrant a case as this,
that power is a dead letter, and will neverbe
exercised, SO long as our form of govern
ment endures. :
Well does the New York Tribune ask
SIS it possible that the house of Representa-
tives will shrink from the discharge of its
solemn duty of impeaching the .nominala and
responsible contriver of all this wrong and
mischief! Should it do so, what miscon-
duct on the part of a President can ever
lead to his impeachment? Must mot the
power to impeach be regarded as a hollow
mockery? Representatives of the AmeFi-
can People! a mighty but glorious response
bility rest upon you! Do your duty.n
