A TOUCHING sCENE.-we COD

A TOUCHING SCENE.-We copy the
following from the New Orleans Picayune:
The wings aud democrats of the Town and
parish OF Natchitoches agreed amongst them
selves, previous to the Presidential election,
TO PROCURE the necessary ammunition tofire
two hundred and fifty rounds in honor of the
successful candidate. The flag stats of the
two parties were within a few yards of one
another, and from their SUBMITS the banners
of their respective chiefs streamedin grace
full dalliance with the winds of heaven. 1t
was stipulated that upon the result of the
canvass being ascertained, a national salute
of thirteen guns should be fired, when The
banner of the defeated party should be low
cred to the ground-that done. the firing of
the remainder of the two hundred and fifty
guns should be resumed.
When the Intelli gence of MIR. Folks cleo
ton reached Naichitoches, both parties as
sembled under their respective flag staffs.-
The firing was begun, and at the thirteenth
discharge, the Wings lowered The ensign of
Clay and Frelinghuysen, amid as profound a
silence as ever reigned over the citadel of
the dead. The firing was then continued,
without further demonstration on the part OF
the democrats of an exulting character.
Amongst the wings there was one deaf
and dumb from birth. When the Clay ban
ner was removed from the ground, after the
discharge of the thirteen guns, to a building

would not dispose of the lands to actual set
tiers at the present Government prices.
Pass this bill, and its evil effects would
not be confined to any particular description
Of land, but would affect the whole pubic
domain. Hundreds of millions of acres of
land are already in the market, and on every
day of every year the surveyors, with their
compasses and chains, are laying off addi-
tional townships and sections. 1t is estimat-
ed that there is enough land now offered for
sale by the Government TO satisfy twenty
millions of settlers Great bodies of these
lands have been in the market for years, and
every day would subject thousands of addi-
tionaI acres of as good land as the SUE trav-
els over 10 the reduction contemplated by
this infamous bill. The Government would
thus suffer by the diminishing of the value
of its lands, and no corresponding good would
result 10 the people. Asthe tide ofemigra-
ton advances towards the lands now unsafa
bic because of their remoteness from market
the demand for them steadily increases. In
a few years they will be eagerly purchased
at present prices. Why, then, should the
Government endeaVor to hasten their sale by
reducing the prices, and thus reduce the rev.
emu it derives from them? If the opera
lions of the proposed law could be confined
to land comparatively worthless, the obiec-
tions to it would notbe SO forcible; but when
it is considered that the value of our bound
less domain would be diminished in value
by this law, it is difficult 10 find words suf-
6~ciently significant with which to denounce
its impollcy and intrinsic rascality.
Do The poor now complain OF the price oil
land? Cannot any industrious poor man I'M
der the present law IN a few years secure to
himself a large farm? If mn bepoor, if be
have not a dollar in his pocket, he can settle
on the public land and secure a %pre-emption
right 10 it. The presumption law is, in al
conscience, as benign a law as any poor man
could desire. BY it he is enabled to cult
vate land and make enough by its cultiva-
ton to enable him to obtain a title 10 it,
What more can our Government do 10 sig
nalize its regard towards the victims OF pov
erty than it now does? The poor are con
tented with its kind ministrations to them.-
They do not desire any change in the pre-
sent laws. The proposed change is sought
for only by demagogues and Spectators,
classes of men for whom the Government is
not bound to entertain any very particular re-
gard.
On the whole, we think that the law re-
Gently proposed in Congress is utterly desti-
tute of all claim on the favor oflhe members
OF that body. Unnecessary effects would be
only evil and that continually. It would
lessen the value of all lands-it would bene-
fit none but speculators--and it would in.
duce false swearing. These and many 9TH
or objections to it render the bill deserving
OF the execration OF all wise and patriotic
men. We hope ii will be s%ummarily dispos
ed OF, and that an overwhelming majority Of
The representatives of the people, will exhib-
ii their adherence offs unwise provisions by
recording their votes against it.

Mr.. ADAMs'sO PiNioNs.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier says: 81
have heard several gentlemen speak of conversa-
lions held with Mr.. John Quincy Adams, on
the subject of the results of the late election.
His opinions are of interest, at this time, and he
is,by no~means reserved in making them known
He says that Texas will be brought into the I'm
ion, and that the British Government will sim
ply portest against the act, and avail herself OF
the example to carry into ~exection some Of her
designs. They will, he says, take possession
Of Cuba, and we cannot complain o fit, after ia
king Texas. Great Britain, he says, will guar
anty to Spain the same amount of revenue that
she now receives from Cuba. As~to F france, he
says, that Government canno OF complain Of the
act, for she has ia possession of Algiers, and
Great Britain will allow her to extend her Afri-
can poss,ssion as far as she pleases. Mexico,
he saws. will moi make war spon us, on accouat
account OF the annexaticn.'' We think It rs like
lythat some OF these opinions must have been
misunderstood, OF incorrectly reported.

hard by, he went away and was not seen a.
gain until the firing bad ended. He was
then d discovered with his face buriedin the
folds of the fallen flag, and in a posture be-
tokening the sincerest anguish. He had
been a compositor in one of the printing Of
fees of the village, and had embraced the
Wing cause with the ardor peculiar to the
fervid sensibilities of that bereft class ofper-
sons. When the emblem of his faith was no
longer 10 be seen floating in the mid-air,
there was no need for one like him at the
meeting. The booming cannon pealed its
thunders in vain-such things could neither
assuage nor aggravate his grief. Nor could
the coincidence of friends reach his bruised
spirit. The consolation of interchanging
words of comfort with his brethren, was de-
MED him by nature. He could only follow
the symbol of his creed, speeches. like
himself, and fallen as were the hopes that
erewhile warmed his bosom with the glow
of Joyous expectation. When he raised his
head from the flag, tears were coming down
his cheeks and his eyes were dim with weep
ing. 1t was the only mode that misfortune
had left him TO throw off the pressure from
his heart. Wing or democrat were alike a
fected by this touching spectacle of sorrow.
Nor did any one seek to disturb him in any
way. The citizens dispersed each TO his
own home, and whether it was from sympa-
thy for a fellow being despoiled by nature
of the most important attributes of man, or
a proneness of the heart to partake of the
woe that is without guile, many a sturdy de-
mocrat and stalwart whig brushed away the
dew tina. gathered upon their eye-lids, as
they pondered upon the speeches grief OF
the sorrow-stricken mute.
