Democracy VS.. Polk and Texas.


The following dialogue occurred in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania, a fews days since, between
red.hot Loco Polko and German Farmer:
Loco. Well, Peter, suppose you and the boys
intend 10 stick TO the good old Democratic party.
Farmer. Oh 10 be sure, | and my SONS arc
tue Democrats.
Loco Well, how are you as regards Texas
Farmer Why. Squire, we don't want 10 have
any thing to do with such an uncommon wicked
place
Loco, But you and the boys mean to vote for
Polk
Farmer. think pretty much we won't. No
body knows who this Polk is. All my neighbors
say they never heard OF him and our Doctor
says be is Tory and never did any thing for the
Country. SO we can't vote for man like that.
Loco. why the ID, Peter yen don't mean to
say that yon your boys, and your neighbo-s are
ali going 10 vote for Henry Clay
Farmer Why, Squire, since they cheated Van
Buren, down at Baltimore, We can't go for him,
and we don't know Polk and Texas. So, as VIC
don't like Johnny Tyler, and must have PFesi-
dent, why all our Township are going TO vote for
Clay, and l think, Squire, he will make an 'in-
common good President.
Loco Good morning, Peter, can do nothing
with you.

SONG OF THE OLDEN TIME.

BY JEROME A. MAYBE.
Young Sir Knight, on his raven stced
Rode from the tented field;
He gaily doff' d his batter i casque,
And down he flung his shield
"No more" he cried, 'my plume shall dance
Mid shining ranks oil war;
Oh-,rhat is Fame I've won IFS need
Upon my breasts star
lie snatch d his utc-and DER the wa'e
To his iaere-adyc, flew;
Who weeping, at her lattice lean'd,
When nigh his shallop, drew;
i" come" he sang, "my Beautiful!
In deeds Of LOVE to dare;
Ga, brighter far his star-thlne eye,
Than GLoRY's star wear

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..

Mr.. KENNEDY introduced three additional
members-Messrs Causin, Brengle, and Pres
ton-of the "General Ticket" recently elected
in Maryland.
rwENTY.rrRsT RULE.
Mr.. DELLET, of Ala, addressed the House
upon this question with ability and courtesy
He reviewed the proceedings Of the House this
session upon the subject of abolition petitions, to
shew how much time had been consumed upon
them. Petitioners had resorted to every device,
and taxed their ingenuity in every form, to evade
the rule Of the House-even coupling this sub.
jcct with the Ruler of the Universe and the Lord
Jesus Christ. He alluded to the resolution Of
Mr.. Hale Of New Hampshire, for cutting down
the Navy. upon which an abolition speech of
great bitterness had been made.
Mr.. HALE, with great earnestness) Does
the gentleman say made an abolition speech
Mr.. DELLET-Oh, no; but know not how
soon you may. said you introduced resolutions
upon which the gentleman from Ohio made a
speech 10 favor OF cutting of the Home squad
roa, for fear it might aid the South, and prevent
their slaves from running away.
Mr. GIDDINGS-Shall set the gen ,leman
from Alabama right
Mr.. DELI.ET--The gentleman from Ohio
can not set me right upon this subject. After
setting forth with minuteness and eloquence the
services Of Southern men and shareholders to
the country. which those who would not ac-
knowledge, were governed by hatred to the
South. Mr.. ID. turned his attention to the argu-
ment Of Mr.. Beardsley, which he answered in
spirit OF moderation. He denied the power Of
Congress 10 abolish slavery in this District, and
said that Mr.. B.'s argument that Congress had
this power, from its exclusive legislatio was
the first he had heard from lawyer to this eff
feet. (Mr. Beardsley wished TO explain, but for
want OF time the hoor was not yielded TO him.)
Some there are who claim this power, said Mr..
d., but he had heard but three persons say that
Congress ought to exercise it. After examining
some remarks Of Mr.. Hudson, Of Massachusetts,
who had cited the authority Of Mr.. Madison,
Mr. ID. concluded with notice OF Mr.. Adams,
who had prayed for the abolition Of slavery in
these words. :" in Gods good time it would
come, and lie, il come"
Mr.. DELLET asked the gentleman from Mass.
il he Understood him
Mr.. ADAMS nodded assent, and said emphati-
cally, let IL come.
Mr. ID. Yes, let il come no matter what the
