SPEECH
OF MR.. DUNCAN, OF OHIO.
Continued

Irepeat that all this unexampled prosperity, this
rapid advancement, this magical elevation of ma
tional greatness, was under the influence and aus
pices of democratic administration four-fths ofthe
existence ofthis government. But strange dream
came over thepeople. They seem to have become
satiated with prosperity, and to have grown weary
with happiness and good government and they
must needs have "change." Sir, desire to
dwell some little upon that word 'change" The
word chunge has always been apotent political
word. Ithas ever been the rallylng word of the
demagogue Itisthe yelp ofthe disappointed Office
seeker. II has ever been so from the commence
ment of civilized government 1t was the cry Of
change that overthrew the first republican govern
ment that history describes-I mean the govern
ment of the Israelites. That was republican gov
ernment, from the time OF the conquest of Canaan;
and although laws were proposed to the people
through Moses, yet no Jaw was obligatory until it
was received and adopted by the voice or suffrage
of the people. The Almighty was their king, but
not without their choice. He was repeatedly elect
ed as such by the suffrage of the people Moses,
although generally regarded as the Israelitsh legs-
lator, in his time was nothing more than media
tor, or medium through which the will, the wishes,
and appreciation Of the Almighty were communi-
Gated.
The Jewish government was established on those
principles which alone can make people happy
and independent. The Jews were an agricultural
people, and every man afreeholder; and snch were
the restrictions the alienation Of landed proper
ty, that every Jew came into the world the owner

than is afforded by Texas' Incapable of resisting
in the event of war between US and England,
she would be taken possession Of by the latter,
under one or another Of these pretences, which
euey page Of her history furnishes, and the terri
tory would become the depot whence she would
carry on her operations against us, and attempt to
add serpile iDar to the other calamities which
hostiities bring with them. He who doubts
whether this would be done, has yet to learn an
other trait in the annals of national aatipathy.
It would be done, and be called philanthropy.
Every day satisfies me more and more that a
majority of the American people are in favor Of
annexation. Were they not, the measure ought
not to be effected But as they are, the sooner 1t
is effected the better. do not touch the details Of
the negotiation. That must be left to the respon-
sbility OF the government as, also must the bear
ing of the question upon, and its reception by,
other countries. These are points do not here

Mn. EprToR: The following lines were fir
published about twenty FIVE years ago, as hav
been informed. By giving them place in yo,
paper, you will confer favor on NJ B.
Go, go, deceiver, go
A heart whose hopes could make it
Trust one so false, so low,
Deserves that thou should'st break it.
When every tongue thy follies named,
fled the unwelcome story,
Or found in e'en the faults they blamed,
Some CLEANS of future glory:
still was true when nearer friends
Conspired to wrong, to slight thee
The heart that now thy falsehood rends,
Would then have bled to right thee,
But go, deceiver, go!
Some day, perhaps, thou'lt waken,
From pleasrue's dream to know
The grief of hearts forsaken.
Even now, though youth its bloom has shed,
No lights Of age adorn thee;
The few who loved thee once have fled,
And they who fatter scorn thee.
Thy midnight cup is pledged to slaves,
No genial ties enwreath it;
The smiling there, like light on graves,
Has rank, cold hearts beneath it!
Go, go!-though worlds were thine,
would not now surrender
One tantless tear of mine,
For all thy guilty splendor!
And days may come, thou false one, yet,
When cen those ties shall sever,
When thou wilt call, with vain regret,
On her thou'st lost forever;-
On her who in thy fortunes fall,
With smiles hath still received thee,
And gladly died to prove thee all,
Her fancy first believed thee.

MAHOGANY COFFINS.

The great expense of funerals, in the city OF New
York. Is subject of general complaint. Hundreds
are yearly buried in this city IN collins which cost
from cog TO $50, whose estates, when examined by
their executors, don't amount to SlOO.
Formerly an immense expense was created Tor
scarfs. This expensive and absurd custom was ab-
rogated as useless, and is no longer paclised. In
other parts of The United States instead OF mahogany
collins a white-wood coffin s substituted, covered
with black muslin, over which the plate is put Tins
mode is more appropriate, and costs about one sixth
of the price Of mahogany coffin, and removes all
temptation to make the coffin IRE than one
occasion.
We have some curious details, which we might
give in relation to the practices OF certain ioks en-
gagged to furnish funerals and the procuring OF vaults
and graves in this city, which we are not disposed 10
mention.
1t is certain that this subject deserves the attention
of the Common Council and il committee was ap,
pointed to nqu re- many facts on this subject would
be elected with which the public generally are unac-
auainted and "a knowledge of which would lead to
a reform that is much needed in this city NJ.
