Sisters of song
Your life was in its freshness and its dcw
Its whitening and its blight were not for you,
Nor held you long.
IT'S ever thus:
They fade the first our best hope, centred in:
To inger in a world of wo and sin
Were perous.
Better to die,
Unknown enrth's cares, undraned its bitter cup,
When Immortality will swallow up
Mortality:
Than to live on
Till wintry age cloud DER youths vernal sun,
And its green leaves have fallen, one by one,
Till all are gone.
No more We thrill
Our hearts with YOUR strange youthful melody:
But have We ceased your artless minsrelsy,
Or sing we still
Full many Tyres,
Untouched on earth, have first in heaven been strung
The unsupported poet first hath sung
Mid scraph cholrs
And shall your songs,
Twin spirits! that 50 sweeily sang on earth,
Be hushed amid the hymns Of heavenly birth
OF angel throngs?
Death cannot hush
The soul of song, the spirits harmony;
Atuned to heavens own harps your strains shall be
And ever gush.
holier spot
Of earth-but where no early thoughts are bred,
Than that where sleep the pure and early dead,
The world hath hot.
Faith, fervor, prayer,
Love,and high hopes from earth heaven that bound
These are that ever tenant holy ground,
And these are there.

THE OLD JACKSON SPIRIT

The old Jackson spirit is again aroused, and
the hopes of Henry Clay will be scattered before
it, All portions of the party are reconciled and
in the highest spirits, and all will support Polk
and DALLAS. This is the state of the par,y and
the sentiment ofthe party from Maine to Louisiana.

nominations met his hearty concurrence, and lha,
Missouri would give democratic majority of ten
thousand; Mr.. Calhoun pronounced the nomina-
tion an excellent one, and South Carolina came
into it and avowedaa WILLINGNESS to stand by it
Polk and Texas will sweep the country like
whirlwind, and the wings here are sensible of

CLAY AND THE FOREIGNERS.

We are not of that number who would wish to work
upon the feelings rprejudces of any portion of the COM
munity, or make any appeals to the baser feelings of
their natures But when particular portion of our
citizens are singled out for denunciation by person
soliciting public support it is but right that attention
should be called his conduct that may be sustained
or denounced. as it may chance to merit a... t.1
Henry Clays opinions respecting foreigners may be
gathered from debate which took place in the Senate
of the United States. .,l .,t.,..
January A, l84l; on the Presumption Bill 'I
"Mr. Mangum Qederalist) then moved the insertion
of the words, being citizen of the United States" al
ter the words, singk man" SO as to exclude aliens from
the right of pre- emption." l 's"
This was violently opposedty the Democrats; andas
violently supported by HENRY CLAY and the rest of
the federalsts. During the debate Mr. Clay said, a.
mong other hard things that Gyl
r"He was opposed, on PRINCIPLE, TO the PROPOSE
ton that aliens should be invited from exery portion Of
the habable globe to take possession of the spublic
lands terms peculiarly favorape as were proposed
by this bill, = 'It was question Of
sound policy rhetser they avOWld hold out 10 aH WITH
OUT or WITHIN their cOnmtry the peculiar privile-
ge Of pre-cmpti0nerS He (Mr. Clay) should conform
his vote to that whchhe had given this question three
years ago." (against alens.) The motion was lost
Clay and the wings voting for 1.-THE Democrats against
