We know il is good that old winter should come,
Rowing while from his Lapland home;
IT'S fitting that we should hear the snund
OF his Reindeer sledge on the slippery gronne.
For his wide and gittering cloak ofsnew
Protects the seeds of life below
Beneath his mantle are nurtured and born
The roots ofthe flowers, the germs of tho corn.
The whsiling tone OF his pure strong breath,
Rides purGing the vapors of pestilent death,
I love him, say, and nvow it again,
For Gods wisdom and might sho " we'll in his train
But the naked-the poor! Iknow they quail
With crouching limbs from the biting gale;
They pine and starve by the freless hearth,
And weep as they gaze on The frost bound earth.
Stand noby forth, ye rich tho land,
With kindly heart and bounteous hand
Remember It's now their season Of need
And prayer for help ia a call ye must heed
A few Of thy blessings, 1.-THE Of thy gold
Will save the young, and cherish the old;
IT'S glorious task to work such good
Dc it, ye great ones Ye can, and ye should,
He is not worthy to hold from Heaven
The trust reposed, the talents given.
Who will not add to the portion that's scsat
In the pinchipg hour ofcold and want.
Oh, listen in mercy, We sons OF wealth,
Basking in comfort and glowing with health:
Give whate'er We can spare, and be ye sure
He serve,h his Maker who aideth the poor.

by far the most stupendous and grand

to be submitted 10 the attention OF Con-
gress and the country; by Mr. Whitny,
a distinguished merchant Of New York,
who from a very high order Of inteli-
gence and experience, and the investi-
CATION that he has bestowed upon the
subject, deserves to have his opinions
aud representations treated with more
than ordinary Difference. The writer
says
'The enterprise contemplates the con-
struction of a railroad from the western
shore of Lake Michigan, 10 direct line
through TO the Columbian River, cover
ing a distance of some 300 miles, (which

BY the establishment of this means of

This news comes unexpected to us, as it will no
doubt to the great mass Of the people Of Ohio Mr..
Medary has for the last years been aboring with
energy and perseverance, editor, in the great
and glorious cause Of democracy; and his retire
ment now, from the responsible station, which he
has lately filled with so much honor and ability, will
be regretted by the whole democratic party OF the

a better one cannot be found in the United States.

"Sir: lam happy to announce to you
that, from every information received
at this place, the result Of our first State
election for Governor, member of Con-
gress, and Representatives to the Cen
eral Assembly, has resulted decidedly
in favor Of the democracy. Mr.. Levy
has received some 500 majority this
side Of the Sawannee; Col. Mosley
some few votes behind him. Levy's
majority for Congress, in the State,wil
be at least 1900 over Putnam, whig.
|Mosley will be elected Governor, with
nearly the same majority. We have
carried the General Assembly ticket
triumphant; thus securing two United
States Senators. We have given
4 long and loud shout for our victory
| in Uuval county. Every matter was
brought to bear against US. We had
old prejudices and interests to combat
against; but manfully met them, and

The New TAX LAw-ENGLAND OUrDoNE.
1T Is truly astonishing to witnes. the conversa-
lton, and to hear the bitter complaints that are
daily being made in reference TO the present tax
law of Ohio. We are informed by the assessor of
Wills township, that the blanks, which Alfred
Kelley s. Co. had designed to be filled, and which
were intended to contain statement of properly
sfor taxation, &C., have been almost entirely neg
lected The merchants of Washington, without
"a single exception, have, we believe, refused to
make out statement. They say that the law
out and complied with; and to cap tho climax,
