What HOrrid Plot doth this
FOrcSIladOW?

The following most remarkable pro-
phecy is found in the late famous
speech Of DR. Duncan in Congress,
while speaking of the death Of Gener-
al HARRISON. and rdiculing and falsi-
flying the means, which, by an over
whelming majority of the people, elect
ed him to the Presidency. Let all
read these few lines-this ominous
prophecy-and interpret it as they
may. 1t looks to US very much like
threat to put Mr. CLAY out Of the
,ray, in giren time, TOO, in the event
Of his election.
but | feel no restraint in saying
tina, the man you elect TO fill the high
est station that man can occupy-to
discharge duties the most important
,ha, can interest nstion-by such un-
halowed means, and for such unha!-
lowed puposes-HE WILL DIE,
TOO. IN ONE MONTH"

Many seem apprehensive that this
will be an unhealthy season on account
Of the OVERLOOKING Of the opposite
bank of the Mississippi. This is in
our opinion a wrong impression. We
have remarked. during six or seven
wears residence on this wonderful
stream that an extraordinary Spring
rise does no, afIec, the health injurious
ly, but generally has contrary effect,
and for this reason when the spring
rise is sufficient TO overflow the oppo-
site bank, ii overtakes and stops vege-
,a,ion before i, has fairly started, and
if the waters did not recede until the
ordinary June rise. there would be no
cause to appvehend any sickness at all
from the decomposition Of vegetable
matter on the opposite shore, because
IN that event there would be no vege-
,ation until after the June rise and that
could do but lille injury. If we have
no June rise this season--and we cam
not see where any more water is to
come from by that time-we do not
apprehend any miasmatic sickness
from the decomposition of vegetable
matter. As far as tia, Kind of sick
ness is concerned-and i. is dreaded
more than it need be-we believe it is
generated by the decay of the vege-
,ation that springs up between the
Spring and June rise and which has a
new and fructifying impulse impaired
to I by the unnatural irrigation it re-
ceives from the overflow Of the June
rise, should there be such a rise. So
that, however high the spring rise may
be, this alone without an overlooking
June rise will not afiec! the health Of
those who reside on the banks of the
Mississippi.

HAWK.EYE SONG.
By JOHN P. COOK,

By JOHN P. COOK,
As written and sung by him at the Wing
Convention at Iowa City, Jan. 1874. with
corrections and additions to suit the late
TuNE-The Tall Young Oystcrman.
Our HAWK EYE POLE is planted,
Our flag is now unlurled,
For CLAY we go undaunted,
And proclaim it 10 the world.
Ye slandercrs of Whiggery, lay down your
pen and paper.
For little Matty's race is run, he cannot go
the caper.
OH, you can't go the eaper, Martin--no hour.
We Wings who fought the noble fight
For Tip and Tyler too,
Remember that we've met this day
To organize anew;
And by the blessings Of that power, which
smiled on those OF yore,
Wen lay the traitor on his back, and
Martin on the floor.
Oh. you, sc.
Yes, let it be the watchword,
From Maine to Georgia's end,
ORGANIZE ORGANIZE
And be the peoples friend:
And show them that our principles are just
MS pure as then;
And that we go for principles, and never
more for men.
Oh. you, &c.
What can we fear from Martin Van,
Dick Johnson or Calhoun;
So long as Harry is the man,
Backed by that Jersey Coon;
WHY, we'll send the one to Kinderhook
The others up salt river:
And make the rank and file to look
AS though they had the ager.
Oh, you, &c.
What jolly time the outs will have in
eighteen forty -four;
Martin Van eating sour crout,
Calhoun, rye-and Indian -four;
Dick Johnson walk the lubly lawn,
'Wid damsel blushing blue.
And Ty Ter, Oh. John Tyler,
With his negotiating crew.
Oh, you, sc.
And now hurrah my lively lads,
Let's take noble stand
In favor Of that patriot,
The bravest of the land,
1.-THE M:ll-boy of the Slashes,'
Who dares our rights Maintain.
And never will submit tc traitors sell
fish reign.
Oh, you, &c.
Now since our pole is planted
And Whiggery is rising,
Wen shout and sing undaunted
! For CLAY and FnELlNGHuYsEN;
We take an int'rest in the thing nor shout,
it be surprising
AS Hawk-Eye places should be filled b
/ Clay and Frelinghuysen.
Oh, you. &c.

John Barley corn! John Barleycorn!
We have been long acquaint,
And many happy home, John!
Together have we spent;
You seemed to be friend, John.
always thought you so,
But now l find, old Barleycorn,
You are my deadly foe.
l have had many frolic, John!
And many a wicked spree;
NY health and purse have suffered much
Old Barleycorn by thee.
The truest friends that e'er ! had,
l often caused to mourn,
Because l was so much attached
To thee, John Barleycorn.
With heart and hand by thee made light

"Jol.n Barleycorn's the jovial boy
That drives dull care away
But now you're better known John
Your treachcry's laid bare,
IT'S known you are, old Barleyeorn,
The parent Of dull care.
Your followers you lead, John,
To poverty and crime;
And thousands you have killed, John,
Have murdered in their prime.
The prison and the convict ship,
And cen the gal!ows tree,
Have daily had their victims brought,
Old Barleycorn, by thee.
You've broken many hearts, John,
Caused many bitter tear
Black ruin and starvation, John,
Are always in the rear.
But now your end is near, John,
'Tis doomed that you must die;
Cold WATER comes your conqueror-
John Barleycorn, good bye!

Beside the river OF Tears, with branches low,
And bitter leaves, the funeral willows grow;
And branches stream like the disheyelled hair
OF woman in the sadness Of despair.
On rolls the stream with a perpetual sigh;
The rocks moan wildly as it trustees by;
Hyssop and NORWOOD border all the strand,
And not a flower aaoms the dreary land.
Then comes a child, whose face is like the sun,
And tips the gloomy waters as they run,
And moistens all the region, and, behold!
The ground is bright with blossoms manifold!
Where fall the tears Of love, the rose appears;
And where the moss is wet with friendships tears
Forget-me-not and violet, heavenly blue,
Spring, g~littering with the cheerful drops like dew
The souls Of mourners, who no more shall weep,
Float, swan-like, down the currents gentle sweep
Go up the sands that shine along its side,
And in the Paradise Of Tears abide.
There every heart rejoins its kindred heart;
There, in a long embrace, that none may part,
FulfIment meets desire; and that fair shore
Beholds its jewellers happy evermore.

CHAPTER |.

CIAI lGb L.
1t was a night in December. The scene was
Washington city. The moon was up, her Fight
was dilnmed by clouds, but ever and anon she
broke forth in all her s~plendor, Frightening the
marble building of the Capitol with a slyery
lustre. The weather was raw and unpleasant
and the dark clouds of the west seemed tc
threaten an approaching snow storm. The few
persons in the streets-lor the hour was late
hurried rapidly along, apparently anxious to get
within doors. And yet the night was, not with.
out its beauty and its moral. The clouds rolled
slowly on in detached masses--now dark and
lowering, and for a moment shutting out the glo-
rious moon, which only shone forth with the more
beauty when they passed from before her face,
The light of truth-thc glory Of virtue may be
darkened for a moment, but they will only shine
out the purer and brighter IN the end. While
musing in the strain, and wandering thoughtfully
along The avenue of the Capitol-now with eyes
directed 10 scenes above, and now meditatine
upon the political storm and shadows in which
the d~estinies Of the country were measurably in
volved, a figure came Keeling from a public
house. 1t was that of a man of thirty-ive.
