I'm weary of the gloomy haunts
OF anxious, busy life,
Where revelry and fashion reign,
And all is care and strife:
Pm weary Of the slandering tongues
The treacherous' and gay
The haggard eyes and heartless crowds
meet from day to day.
love the woods and mountain air,
The fields and fragrant flowers,
Where life is but happy dream,
And days glide by az hours
How sweet the warbling minstrel band,
Whose notes from every grove,
In harmony enchanting blend,
Az soul with soul, in love!
Then let US leave these heartless scenes,
Where care and sickness reign
This tainted air-these haggard forms
That give us naught but pain.
Well seek calm and happy life,
And have no cause for grief,
Mid warbling woodlands, fields, and groves,
Where all must find relief.
At early dawn, how sweet twill be
To climb the verdant hills
To breathe the perfumed air, and hear
i The music of tho rills,
And hail the suns first genial ray,
Whose warmth all nature greets,
And watch the glistening dewdrop smile
To see the light it meets.
AT noon, in shady groves and glens,
Well find cool retreat,
And drink from ripping brooks that sweep
In eddies by our feet;
And seated side by side, III tell
OF lands far, tar away,
Of dangers past, and joys to come
With each approaching day.
And when the evening zephyr breathss

Like sounds from spheres above,
Inspiring high and holy thoughts

The doubts that once beset q ~
A heart, whose every throb was pain,
While striving to forget;
And sadly shall touch each string
When dwelling on the thought,
That thou wouldst never grant the boon
once SO vainly sought.
But soothing as the spirit-strains
That fall upon the ear,
When night in slumber sleeps the soul,
And angels finger near, "E
Shall be each note, when hours of hope
Become the happy theme,
And every pang Of past despair
Will seem a ieeting dream.
While grateful for the happiness
That God has given in this.
Well look on high, and see with joy,
Another world of bliss;
And thus from every care removed, r

Life's sweetest joys will e'er be ours,

An Important Declaration.

In The course ol some remarks made in the
House day or two since Ivy Mr.. Peyton, hs
alluded 10 the nomination OF Mr.. Polk al Bal
lmore, and said
A distinguished gentleman Of New York had
publicly denomlnaled it as farce, and wiihou
the slightest reserve declaring openly that il
ought TO meet with no respecI from The coun.
Try, and that James X Polk could no, get one
electoral college. unless that of South Carolina
and that would depend on the mere whlm and
caprice of Mr. Calhoun.
This annunclaon produced very great sen.
sailon in the House
Mr. SreIson, of New York, inquired of Mr. P
who the New York member referred 10 was f!
Mr. Peyton replied, that for The name of the
gentleman, and all the circumstances. he would
refer the gentleman 10 The Hon Mr. Black, al
South Carolina He would tel! him who he
was
Mr.. Stelson repeated his inquiry, observing
that The statement had taken him completely by
surprise.
Mr.. Peylon replied, it was a member on This
hoor, distinguished member of The House, a
grea, friend of Mr. Van Buren, and. IN facl,
considered as his right hand man here That
gentleman had declared that Mr.. Polk could
no, get the vote of one electoral college, unless
in South Carolina, and that depended on the
whlm and caprice Of Mr.. Calhoun If The gen.
tleman would apply to The honorable gentleman
from South Carolina, he could get all the inlor-
nation he desired.

A Scene ian the House.

Mr.. Peylon said several p,hy ard pointed
things, during his speech in the House on We'd
nesday last In reply TO some charges made
against the Wings by DIR. Duncan, he picked
ou; a dozen two leaders of the Loco Focu
party, and held them up to the public eye, in
any but favorable point of view In Inc course
OF his remarks, this scene occurred, as reported
in the National lnIeIIigencer:
'Anolher very distinguished gentleman in
the Democratic ranks, and now, he believed, a
prominent member of Consress--one Charles
Jared lngersoll-- had declared that had he been
capable of reflection in the days of the Revolu-
iion, he would have been Tory. That gen.
ileman was most courteous in his department,
and had always treated Mr. p with the utmost
personal kindness. HI meant him no offence
or injury; and if the assertion he had row made
as his was incorrect, he Mr.. P would Instant
ly take 1t back. The gentleman was present
and could deny IL if II was untrue {Mr. |. re-
'ained his seat Mr.. P. next quoted very
fiery article indeed, from the pen Of j. H. Prem
.lss, Van Buren member of Congress- This
gentleman declared it gave him infinite pleas
urs 10 be able to announce lin his paper) the
triumph Of Federalism Was he a Democrat
Then came William Cullen Bryant. the author
of pee'ica eulogy (of no very Aauering kind,
as it seemed) on Thomas Jefferson. Mr. P.
quoted from this poem. a sort Of mock heroic. |
Now, ther, he would again inquire, where
was Federalism TO be found? He thought he
had placed it on the right side Of The par,y-di-
vding line.
Mr.. lngerso here asking the loan Of the
book from which the above quotations had been
made. Mr.. P. replied: Is Take good care of it,
and do not derange the contents; i, is an ex-
ceient magazine of Whig ammunition, and |

Mere EalSeEsOGd.

The Loco Focos know that they might as
as well auemp, TO move the Allegheny Noun
tains from their eternal beds, as TO succeed in
| Pennsylvania with candidate who is opposed 10
Protective Tariff Hence, ever since the un-
looked for nomination of James K Polk, for the
Presidency they have been endeavourng to
make the people believe that he is good,
sIaunch Tari1-man. Now they know better
than this. They know that he has ever advo-
Gated low rate of duties, and opposed The
principle of protection which the Wings advo-
cate. |, was upon these very questions that
Governor Jones, of Tennessee, took issue with
him, before the people of that State, and twice
defeated him; in ls4l, by 1924! majority,
and in ls43, by 53S9!!! MIR. Polk, then
boldly expressed his opposition to Protection,
as we showed last week in an extract from one
of his speeches. Tha. he entertains the same
opinions still, we have only TO refer to the dec
larations of his intimate friends, made since his
nomination, both in and out of Congress. ln
debate. in the House of Representatives, on the
Sd inst. Mr. Payne, of Alabama, q warm per.
sonal friend of Mr. Polk, stated openly and en-
phaicaIv, that Mr.. Polk is opposed to the Wing
Tariff of 1912! Tha, he is in favor of 20
per cent ad valorem duty on imports of 90 per
cent, discriminating below that, That he is
in favor of Tariff for Revenue, but not one
tarthtng for Protection ~
Yet in the face of all this, our loco foco lea
ders in Pennsylvania are endesvouring TO de-
ceive the People, by proclaiming tha, Polk is
in favor of Protective Tariff, and The friend
of Pennsylvania interests. This falsehood Is
reiterated by every loco foco brawler, and pub
lished by every loco foco press, in the Com.
moawealth. Rafferty,, in his Monroe "Lyre" Of
las, week, gives the LIE conspicuous inser-
,ion, and wha, is wonderful for him, prelaces
it with eighteen lines of his own perpelrating-
which said eighteen lines contain no less than
-FOUR direct and wilful falsehoods, which Raf-
ferry mus, have known to be such when he
published them. People Of Pennsylvania, is
it fair, is ii right, is it honest, for the Loco Fo
cos thus TO endeavor TO lie you into the belief of
a falsehood3 We leave yoa TO answer the
question.

1t is very amusing to see the Locos trying
TO reconcile themselves to the strange doings
of their National Convention, and TO be pleased
with the nominations of Polk and Dallas. In
some places they try to be joyful, and show
their attachment 10 The party by getting up,
what they CALL Ratification Meetings. But
these exhibitions are so devoid of all enthusi-
asm and hilariiy that they have aply been
called poor Martins funeral assemblages In
other places they try 10 raise their dropping
spirits, and awaken their friends from despon-
dency, by burning gun-powder. Blu, even this
won't help Them The sounds come TO their
ears like minuie-guns fired over their departed
greatness. They undertook TO fire % guns. at
Easton, on Wednesday evening last, bus before
they had got through with eleven of Them, all
hands were so sick of the job, that the gunner
spiked the gun, with the priming needle, to pu,
a speedy end 10 the business. Poor fellows,
how we do pity them!
