THE BATTLEFIELD.

sY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Once this soft turf, this r~ivulel's sands,
Were Iampled by a hnrrying crowd,
And merry hearts and armed hands
Encountered in The battle cloud.
Alb! never shall the land forget
How gushed the life-blood Of the brave
Cushed, warm with hope and valor yet,
Upon the soil they Tough, TO save.
Now all is calm and fresh and sill,
Alone the chirp Of fitting bird,
And talk of children on the hill,
And bell Of wandering kline, are heard.
No solemn hos, goes trailing by
The black-mouthed gun and staggering waini
Men start no, al the battle cry:
Oh, be it never heard again.
Who minglest in The harder strife
For truth which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life.
A iriendless warfarel lingering long
Through weary day and weary year.
A wild and rnany-Weaponed throng
Hang on lbs front and flank and rear.
retnerve thy spirit to the proof,
And b!ench not al Thy chosen lo,;
The limid good may stand alnoi,
The sage may ~frown-yet faint thou mol!
Nor heed The shalt TOO surely cast,
The Kissing, singing bolt Of scotn;
For with thy size shall dwell, q, last,
The victory Of endurance born.
Truth, crushed 10 earth, shall rise again;
The eternal years OF Go are hers;
Bur Error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshippers.
Yea, though thon lie upon the dust,
When they who helped thee fee in fear.
Die full Of hope and manly nus,,
Like those who fell in battle here.
Another hand thy sword shall WELD,
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the lrumpet's mouth is pealed
The blast Of triumph DER thy grave.

of parry, and no doubt with view tokeep,

administration, removed ourcstimalde feI.

Stidger, in his stead. Mr.. Wilson'S an up
right honest man, and discharged the du-
ties of the office to the entire satisfaction
Of the public. Ile is an industrious me-
Chanio, and to some extent a cripple, .(by

were Of use to him in supporting his ttmi-

he the exclusive friends of the poor man,
should take the office from MIR. Wilson,
and give it to the weaIlhiest man in town,
is mahcr that the "mtinaiaicd cen not
possibly understand. Mr.. Wilson is not Il
politician by trade. lie votes his own
sentiments, whatever they may be; bHtno
one in this community will have the hardi-
hood to charge him with interfering in po-
liticaI party warfare. lie never, like the
individual now appointed, used the office
as an engine for pfry purposes, But Mr..
Wilson, is a 'yoreigHcr," he is not "NaiiUe

foreigner, the locoocos-those exclusive
friends Of the "poor lorcigners' would
have beloved Native Americtnsm, as
lustilyas they did when they were trying
TO orroy the foreign vote Of the country
against Mr. Clay. There were no complaints
against Mr. Wilson, The removal was
brought about by kind of secret night
meeting in which the men Who pay at leas

BANK BILL.

We publish to day the report Of Mr.
Kelley, (of Franklin,) of the Senate, offer
ing the Bill to incorporate "7'he SAatt
Bank ofOkO and other Banking COmpa-
Ries." 1t will be seen by the Report that
the Committee intend that the bil-holder
shall have ample security. We cannot
publish the Bill on account of its great
length. It contains T3 sections, It di-
vides the State into twelve districts and
-apportions the capital 'equitably among
such districts. Thecoenties of Belmont,
Harrison, Jefferson, CuTolland Columbia
ma, composes the tenth district, and is al
lowed $40O,00O capital and four Banks
The bill, Il is said by those who are COM
petent judges, contains all the wholesome
restrictioEs and safe guards necessary to
protect the biIl-holder, whilst at the same
time it is thought that capitalists will be
induced to take stock. The bill is now
before the Senate in Committee Of the
whole, where it will be altered and amend
ed. Already we perceive that, oh motion
of Alfred Kelley, the amount ofCapital in
this district is increased to 100000, and
the number of Banks to five. We hope
our friends in the Legislature WIZ perse-
vera and make the bill what it ought to
be, and then if the LocoIocos will, let
them take the responsibility Of opposing it,
To the people we would say, let the mat
ter be fully examined, and when the bill
is passed give it l. fair trial. The Ohjo
Statesman, published by Mcdary, and o.her
kindred prints, raise a howl against the
bill, as might be expected. They want
the Barley Hunting laws to be in force,
and that our currency should consist Of
the notes Of Banks in other States. These
hard money men and Bank relormers will
lose their heretofore eXhauflc3s theme for
defamation if ihe Legislature passes
good Bank Bill. We have great confidence
in the doings of the preselit Legislature,
the rawlings of the JacobincaI portions of
the editorial corps Of Locolocoism to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

From the Boston Times,

OF all the diseases, to which the human
frame is subject, none are more numerous
and distressing than cutaneous disorders,
ScroIuous diseases are hereditary, and the
su,trheum, and dsimilarodectjons, ale hand
ed down from parents TO children, through
many successive generations. These at-
lecuons are not only exceedingly trouble
some and annoying in themselves, but have
hitherto been inCurablo. Some medicines
and modes of treatment, it is true, have
been found to oaIlcviate, and seemingly sup
press them, but, in nine cases out Of ten,
they reappear after partial cure, mirage
with more Virulence than ever. We were,
therefore, prepared to subject the preten-
tions of Sands SarsapariIla TO severe
scrptiuy We have carefully and critically
examined the claims of the proprietors,
and are now ready to endorse their state
ments. The efficiency of the Sarsaparlla,
prepared by Messrs. Sands, Of New York,
is proved by satisfactory testimonials from
the most respectable authorities. 1t comes
recommended 10y the highest authority, and
cases are recorded, IN which it has effected
the radical cure Of patients who have sut.
iered for yearsawthout alleviOtion Of thei
misery. The medicine rs prepared by an
elaborate chemical process, oy which the
curative properties of ehe SarsaporiIIa are
extracted and fixed, and these are then
strengthened and combined in an admix.
ture, with other efficient remedies.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

The House has been some time engaged
in discussing the proprietyef giving 10 the
several townships and wardsof This Slute,
the right to vote at their township elections
in April, for or against Iicencing tGverns to
retail liquor in said township and ward
The same question was agtOted in the
State temperance convention at Columbus,
and we believe carried by u majority Of the
votes present. We have read the argu-
ments on both sides. SOME Of those who
oppose theenactment Of the law, are strong
temperance men. They believe Ehat it
would be mixing up an alien ingredient
with subject areadysufficiently complex.
The mlKingof moral with political subjects
will invariably destroy The moral question.
Many of the members think land we be-
lieve Justly, tool that it would give a po-
1itical direction to the temperance cause, a
thing to be regretted by every friend of the
measure.
