A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE

A life on the ocean wave!
A home in the rolling deep!
Where the scattered waters rave,
Va And the winds their Tevels keep.
Like an eagle Gagged, pine,
On this dull unchanging shore,
Oh, give me the flashing brine,
The spray, and the tempest's roar.
Once more on the deck stand,
Of my own swift gliding craft;
Set sail, farewell to the land,
The gale follows far abaft'
We shoot through the sparkling foam,
Z Like an ocean bird set free;
Like the ocean bird, our home
We III find far out in the sea.
The land 8 no longer in view,
The clouds have begun to frown,
But with stout vessel and crew,
We II say, let the storm come down!
And the song Of our hearts shall be,
g While the wind and waters rave,
A life on the heaving sea,
A home on the bounding wave.

upon the boisterous deep, hurried before the rag
ing storm, unassisted by helm or ballast.
Would we be free and independent people,
we must be moral as well as learned. The grand
conservative principle upon which the preservation
and perpetuity Of national independenceare based,
consists in rigid adherence to the principles of
morality. AS well might we expect the vegetation
of plants without the genial influence of summers
sun, as to hope for the prosperity of nation or
individual rejecting the moral saLative. The
father of our country, who led her armies to glo-
rious victory, in his farewell address makes the
forcible interrogatve, Scan it be that Providence
has not connected the permanent felicity of a
nation with its virtne?" The history Of the world
affords US ample evidence that despotism and mise
ry are the direct consequences of corrupted morals.
The fate of nations, like that of individuals, de-
pends upon the rectitude of their course.
May it then be the pride of American freemen
to contribute honor to the escutcheon of their
couDtry's glory by cherishing those principles
which are essential to her preservation. May
every moral enterprise be hailed as ominous oi
peace and safety, and nurtured with fostering hand
of care as the efficient means of our happiness
and at the same time let the actious spirit of the
aspiring demagogue be quelled by the superiority
of pure and benign motives. Nothing can be
more repugnant to general prosperity than the
immoral and unwarranted motives which aim alone
at personal aggrandizement, which should receive
the disapprobation Of every individual, who would
delight to behold the flag of liberty gently waited
over the land of every nation, tongue and people

ABOLITIONISM.

The following extract from the speech of
Cor. Sewdrd at the Syracuse Convention
should be read and digested by every Ameri-
can citizen. II our public speakers would
devote more time to discussing the subject of
Third Party Aboliticnism multitudes of our
deluded ~fellow-citizens who have given in to
the delIrlums of the Third Party would be
enabled to see the light. The intelligent of
the Wing party have held the reasonings of
Third Partyism in too much contempt. Let
this be no longer their error.
Now Fellow Citizens, what will it cost to
secure the peculiar Institutions of the South !
Why, first, the assumption of the debt Of
Texas. Itmay be Is, it may be % millions
Of dollars. More or less, this ought to be an
objection with those who deny the Federal
Government constitutional power TO ASSUME
THE DEBTS OF THE SEVERAL TATEs which
are members of the c~onfederacy. But l do
not dwell on this objection. If Texas was
worth buying, | should not hesitate merely
about the cost and we see already that the
Texas party find a wonderful elasticity in the
Constitution. Well they may. They were
the party of Reputation and debt of25
millions would be as easily paid off in that
way as a debt of one. (Cheers.)
1t will cost a war with Mexico-an unjust
war-a war to extend the Slave Trade, and
the Slave Piracy-Piracy in the Judgment of
christendom. In such a war. the nations of
Europe and of South America, would com
bine against us, and the Almighty has no at
tribute which would induce him to bless our
arms.
You will not 90 to war for human slavery,
will you? Ono no !') Come hither YOU,
the advocates of Texas See here 5000
men enjoying the blessings TO perpetuate and
extend the domain of slavery! No no
Wa is the game of kings-of despots not of
democracies. And above all, not of the de-
mocracy Of the American States. What has
slavery lone for us already that we should
hazard peace, prosperity and honor TO secure
or extend its hateful sway! 1t has once cost
us our system of home industry-our public
credit-cost us a long season of financial en-
barrassment-the abandonment Of internal
improvements-waste of the national domain
sacrifice of the i~nviolate right Of petition
the forfeiture of all consistency of public
character, and the disrespect of civilized men.
This is enough and too much.

that we have of late noticed, is that Of John

SILAs WRIGHT, in a recent speech at
Potsdam, said he found no special objec-
ton to the present tariff except he thought
it rather low on coarse wool, and rather
too high on common wool. He told the
farmers that he had to buy his wooden
cloth and if they were disposed to ask too
high a price, he would let foreigners bring
it in. In another speech at Gouverneur
he said:
"That he believed in a Protective Tar
if, but there was no difference between
him and those proclaiming Free Trade at
the south; that they differed in terms only
and that he knew by a recent personal
comparison of views. He did not partic-
u~larize his kind of protection, but he said
that wool was taxed 90 high; 1t would
bear a reduction, but he did not tell his
audience whether he would reduce it to
Mr.. Folks standard, duty free, Or would
reduce it to twenty percent, but he left
them to infer that he said that Southern
views, and his own, were alike, and that
his protection and Southern Free Trade
was a difference in terms, only"
1t seems therefore that Mr.. Wright is
in favor of a tariff which shall discrimin-
ate against the American wool grower; or,
in other words, a tariff like that recon-
mended by Mckay and the southern wing
of the Locofoco party. Will such a tar
if be acceptable to the wool growers of
New York! Do they say with Mr. Wright,
that the duty on wool of a good quality is
too hight Let them answer these ques-
tons at the ballot-boxes in November, and
in such a manner as to leave no doubt Of
their real intenions.-Troy Wing.
