POETRY.
IN PRAISE OF THE GOOD OLD PLOUGH.

Let them sing who may Of the battle trays,
And the deeds that have long since passed;
Let them chant in praise of the tar whose days
Are spent on the ocean vast;
would render to these all the worship you please,
would honor them even now,
But I'd give far more from my hearts full store,
To the cause of the good old Plough.
Let them laud the notes, that in music floats
Through their bright and their gIittering halls;
While the amorous twir of the hairs bright curl
Round the shoulder of beauty falls;
But dearer to me is the song from the tree,
And the rich and The blossoming bough;
Oh, these are the sweets which the rustic greets,
As he follows the good old Plough
Then how jocund the song as it comes along
From the ploughman's lusty throat;
Did the hunters shout ever give out
To the brown woods a merrier note'
Tho he follows no hound, yet his day is crowned
With triumph as good, trow,
As though antlered head at his feet lay dead,
Instead of the good old Plough
Full many there be that we daily see
With selfish and hollow pride,
Who the ploughman's lot in his humble cot,
With scornfu look deride;
Yet I'd rather take, aye, a hearty shake
From his hand than to wealth I'd bow;
For the honest grasp OF that hands rough clasp,
Hath stood by the good old Plough.
All honor be then to these grey old men,
When at last they are bowed with toll;
Their welfare then o'er, why, they battle no more,
For they've conquered the stubborn soil.
And the chaplet each wears are his silver hairs,
And ne'er shall the vctor's brow
With laureled crown to the grave go down,
Like these sons of the good old Plough

NINEVFH.

Eighteen months since, we published letters
from M Botta, announcing his interesting discov
cries at Nineveh; and subsequently reported on
progress of the exploration, and of the arrival in
Paris OF collection of drawings, inscriptions and
fragments of sculpture, submitted to the Academy
of inspections on whose report, the minister
instructed NJ Eugene Flondn to proceed to Mosul
and assist in further researches. Letters lust
received, dated Mosul, June the 9th, give some
later particulars. The writer says: "The works
are going on actively at Khorsabad, (the modern
village built on the old capital) and the sculptures
continue to present the same Characteristic trait,
everything warlike, and nothing appertaining to
religion. We cannot yet form any idea of the
plan of the buildings, although we have laid bare
two halls, l0S feet in length, and number of
smaller rooms. Khorsabadls IS built over one corner
of an immense quadrangular enclosure, formed of
walls built OF bricks; bearing inscriptions, with
towers at regular distances. The whole military
and civil life of the Assyrans could be made out
from the buildings and inscriptions which remain
here. We have hitherto not experienced any
opposition from the authorities; though they, in
their ignorance, imagine that to find treasure must
be our object. We have quantity of objects to
send home, as soon as our ambassador at Constan-
tinople furnishes us with means of transport by

UP A PANIC!

INSANE EDrToRs!-The Federal editors must
be insane, or else they would not make them
selves so supremely ridiculous as they do. For
instance, The NeU York American says that the
merchants Of that city had commenced the build
ing of three vessels, for the European trade, but
charged all their hands, and will permit their
ships TO rot on the stocks, as the Democratic
policy will render investments in maritime trade
Improbable. Now mark the gross absurdity of
this fellows attempt to create a panic! Accord
ing to Federal logic before the election, JAMES
X. Polk was the advocate of Free Trade, and
under his administration the Free Trade policy
would be adopted. If such were the case, of
course the three merchants ships would find ac-
tive employment. Is it not so?
Again: we learn that the factory lords of sew
eral of our Easte IN cities, and also little Bank
rupt Wheeling, are discharging their hands, I'M
der the pretence that they cannot make sales of
Their fabrics under a Democratic administration.
Very well. Suppose all the factories do stop,
wouldn't the N. York merchants vessels, and a
hundred new ones, find active employment IN
importing foreign goods, TO supply the demand
occasioned by our own manufacturing establish
ments ceasing operations? Is not this %selfevi-
dent?
1t is how morally certain, that the Federal
party are determined to get up a panic, as in
times past. They are dishonest CROUCH 10 at
tempt any thing, if they can make a little polit-
ical capital thereby. We had supposed that ex-
p~erience would have taught them wisdom; but
like the Bourbons Of France, "lncy learn nothing
and forget nothing" We all remember the
croakings of Federal alarmists and panic makers
during the administrations of General JACKSON
and Mr.. VAN buren,. Every attempt c~onceiva-
bic was resorted to, even tie sending Of delega-
tons TO the White House, to influence their
course, and drive them from their purpose, by
making false and alarming statements, as to the
ruin and pressure that prevailed in various parts
of the country. But old Hickory and the Little
Magician needed not the b~aseless humbug Nun
chausen yarns of the cent per cent. patriots, and
they went home. And Notwithstanding the
croakers predictions, the country was prosperous,
and peace and happiness smiled throughout the
land. We anticipate the same obstacles will be
thrown in the way of Col. Polk, but he will do
his duty, regardless of denunciations fom any
quarter.

SONG OF TEEE AMERICAN GIRL.

Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her glory;
Her warriors wreath is in our hand,
Our lips breathe out her story.
Her lofty hills and valleys green
Are shining bright before US
And like a rainbow sign is seen
Her proud flag waving DER us.
And there are smiles upon our lips
For those who meet her foemen-
For glory's star knows no eclipse
When smiled upon by women.
For those who brave the mighty deep,
And scorn the threat Of danger,
We've smiles to cheer, and tears 10 weed:
For every ocean ranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her freedom;
Our prayers are for the gallant band
Who strike where honor leads them.
We love the taintIess air we Breathe
IT'S freedoms endless bower;
Well Irvine for him an endless wreath
Who scorns a tyrant's power.
They tell of frances beauties rare,
Or Italy's proud daughters,
OF Scotland's l%asses, England's fair,
And nymphs of Shaunon's waters.
We need not boast their naughty charms,
Though lords around them hover;
Our glory lies in freedoms arms,
