Colonel Benton, we are no neophyte in this Texas
question, sir we know all about H. sir.
Ii is burning shame that Slanlm did not get the
Southern Marshalship Of York State. Something
must be done for him, or there will be a blow up
The clerks In the several departments are beginning
to pay of their debts like honest men, Our grocery
sellers and tailors think that Polk will make one OF
the best Presidents have ever had, from tins
circumstance: We think SO, too.
The grounds OF the Capitol and Presidents house
are each perfect Garden OF Eden In appearance,
particularly the gardens of the Capitol. In the
beauty OF their arrangement, IN the variety OF the
trees, shrubbery and flowers, they cannot be APP
preached by any thing this side the geological Gar
dens of London or the Jardin DIES Piantss of Paris.
Jenny Maher has indeed carried the art Of garden
ing TO Its utmost perfection He cannot be dispensed
with on any terms. His works are an honor to
himself, and an ornament to the metropolis. The
public grounds are pattern OF beauty, sweetness,
and good taste, that will be followed by-and,by by
private citizens all over the country: Call upon
Jenny, ladies', and he will supply you free OF charge

tlemanly and efficient clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, copy of poem of his production, en-
titled "The Changes OF Earth" which is very Gre
ditabe to his literary attanments and talents. He

years ago before the Capitol Hill Institute In this
city. The following are the concluding llnes:-
We're proud peoplc-and we're proud of right.
We boast-and well we may-Time, in his fight,
Has never seen nation spread in power
As ours has widened since its natal hour
Since first our fathers sought this Western strand,
And one frail vessel bore the little band
Now leagues on leagues tho heavng oceans roar
Comes bursting on our broad Atlantic shore,
Where Commerce dwells-from thence to every sea,
Is borne the glorious banner of the Free;
Thence far, far Westward may our Eagle fly,
Beneath the arching OF his native sky;
And though nesting by the oceans foam,
He on the Rocky Mountains finds home.
We're great People while the silver band
That binds the Union Of this happy land
Remains unbrokcn, dread may feel
OF foreign influence, or Of foreign steel
We may contemn the bolts against us hurled
Throw down our gauntlet, and defy the world!
