Sail on, thou lone, imperial bird,
VI quenchless eye and tirces3wlng,
How IS thy distant coming heard
As the nights breezes round thee ring!
Thy course was 'gainst the burning sun
In his EXTREMIST glory. how!
ls thy unequalled daring done,
Thou stocp'st to earth SO lowly now?
Or hast thou left thy rocking dome,
Thy roaring crag, thy lightning pincj
10 ind some secret, meaner home,
Less stormy and unsafe than thine
Else whysthy dusky pinions bend
So closely 10 this shadowy world,
And round thy scorching glances send
AS wishing thy broad pens were furled!
Yet lopely is5tg shattered nest,
Thy eyry d~esolate, though high!
And lonely thou, alike, at rest,
Or soaring in thy upper sky!
The golden Light that bathes thy plumes
On thine interminable flight,
Falls Cheerlsss on earth's desert tonnbs,
And makes the North's ice-mountains bright.
So come The eagle hearted down,
So come the proud and high to Garth,
When hfe's ght-gathering tempests frown
Over their glory and their mirth!
So quails the minds undying eye,
That bore unRei'd flames noontide sum
So man seeks solitude, to die,
His high place left-his t~riunnPhs done!
So round the residence of power
A cold and joyless listre shines,
And on life's pinnacles will lower
Clouds dark as battle the eagles pines.

not ride in that troop. Thus every hundred votes
obtained for the Birney Ticket was Just about
nina,y clear gain for Polk. Had the Birney vote
no more than doubled, or even trebled since 1910,
Mr. Clay would now be President elect. This
the Argus understands well as we do. By
panaering to Brrncyism, the Loco Fucos swim
died u, as really, though not as manfully, as
though they had duped ten thousand Wings into
voting Electoral Ballots with one name too many
on them.
4 We did, when we estimated that New York
would give Clay 10000 majority, hope some
thing from the natural Indignation OF the friends
of Mr.. Van Buren, at the result of their Baltimore
Convention. That Polk was nominated by Del
egates elected and pledged Internationally to
vote for Van Buren,, is undisputed. That this was
accomplished by jockeying, juggling, and in utter
contempt of all good faith Ito say nothing OF
Democracy and the sacred right of Instruction.
was most palpable Accustomed as is Northern
Democracy to crouch at the crack of the Slave
drivers whip, we believed that some thousands
in this State would bolt at this nomination =
The result proves that we under. estimated their
servility, but not that Of the Argus. We will
endeavor to avoid this mistake in future.

Railrosd Exemption.

We trust every Wing in Congress will prof
by the fortune which has befallen Our Represent!
alive, Hon. J. P. PHGSlx. Mr. r., ct the sng
gestion Of many citizens interested IN Railroads
proposed in the House the exemption of Railroad
Iron from duty. He had no thought Of counte
uancing any abandonment of the Protective 70
Icy, either general OF partial; but he believed
rs do many others-'bat even the iron interest o.
our Country would be promoted by the introduc.
ton of Raj Bars free of duty, and the consequent
immediate construction of several new Railroads,
connecting our Iron Mines with the sea board
and with every part of the country. We do not
concur in this view, but we know that it is enter
taincd by many decided advocates of Protection.
But the entire Loco. Focoism of the House sees
fit not only to oppose Mr.. Phanix's proposition,
but to make it the pretext fora general discharge
of slang about high duties on such articles as
poor men require no duties on importations for
| the capitalist &c. &c, as though Railroads
were intended and calculated to benefit only their
stockholders. Now every sensible man knows
full well that the owners of Railroad Stock are
not, in the average, 30 much. benefited by the
construction of their Roads as is the public &c.
nerally. Look at the Harlem, Stonngton, Long
Island, Worcester and Housatunic, right here
around us-all immensely beneficial to the dis
tricts they traverse, to New York, and to the bu-
siness or travelling public but dead loss to their
public spirited owners. Here, too, is the New.
York and Erie-at least one Million Of People
would be greatly benefited by It's construction;
but Who takes the Stock, except with a view TO
The public good? Now suppose temporary ex-
emption Of Railroad Iron from duty should cause
tais Rosd and dozen like it, to he completed
next year-who would he most benefited by the
excmption-the Contractors, Landhuiders, Labor
e,s, Timber. iunishers, sc. employed thereon,
me public whose convenience would be greatly
promoted thcreby,or the Stockholders, who would
have expended their money, and received III re-
turn Stock which would be worth in the market
fifty to eighty per cent? And yet Loco Focoism
represents the exemption as special gtatulty TO
the Capitalists alone, and is thus demagoguing
IN Congress and all over the Country. Aud the
albany Argus follows up with cry, The Wings
attacking the Tariff as it is" We trust the fate
If Mr.. Phen1s well.mcant but ill-consldcred
proposition, will dissuade any Wing from hero
after processing or countenancing any change in
the Tariff. Let Loco Focoism compromise with
itself as it best can.

FREreHrISo BUSINESS ON THE RAILROADS.
The railroads are doing quite an extensive business
in the lreishting line. The goods and produce DE-
tanned by The ic- in the canal have mostly been got
out and sent forward 10 their respective destinations.
Within few DAYS considerable quantities OF goods
have been shipped at Albany, for merchants at the
west, who have purchased since the canal closed.
Some thirty tons of freight prssed through on lis
way 10 Auburn on Saturday. The Oyster Trade is
growing into an immense busnesa-tons upon tons
of this ocean luxury arriving and going west 10
be distributed into all the remote counties, and We
suppose all along the borders OF Lake Enc. In re-
tuin, four tons OF Poultry passed east a few eve
nipgs since. This is probably The hrst invoice OIL
Poultry ever sent from the west.
