WuAT ARE WE TO EXPECT?

The Polktes have mnnnged some matters with
shrewdness thus Ear. TcsA. first has been the order
and what next? Why, the Tariff So say their
leading popers- the N. Y. Plrbcian and others And
now Mr. buchanan has n seat in the Cabinet
not to expect Pennsylvania slide from her silion,
as has New York on the Texas question merely for
tho sake Of having Gov. Marcy in the Cabinet II Il
Cabinet seat bought up Gov. Wright, sc why will
not Buchanan's appointment buy Pennsylvania?
The cry Of "RcpcaI" is already loudly sounded in
regard to the Tariff, fiom several sections Of the Lo
Foco cncanp nent. If we not fenrfuy alive 10
this matter the next Congress will entirely PROSTATE
our whole system ofproteclion TO the products and
labor OF the country. Hear what the Richmond En-
qurer The great organ Of Southern Loco Focoism -
announces this suhec
''The agitaling question Of Texas settled, we
have only one other great difficulty in our wnv or
course we mean The TUif-nni upon that great
question the South will never "Gorbear"

10 the country. Upon that question hope Mr.
Polk trH lie true 10 The pledges under rhich he
lcctei pledges solcmniy made al The Baltimore
Convention, as they were made in regard 10 Texas.
On this subject we renew NOW, nj this most iupur.

Raj. ROAD WAY BUSINESS. The journal Of
Commerce noticing the great demand for stock, now
SO vaIube in the Western Rail Rond, says "Thnt
rond goes through the hardest counties that we ever
met with We know what il Is, for we have experi-
mented upoo it several years with the hoe aud spade
We did no, e.,aye that Railroad could be made
there, and still less that /: would pay Bot in both
particulars, we were mistaken. True, it taps the
State of New York and the Great West; but the sta
sics of the road show that the way business is af

be secured by n Rail Road from the State line o.

by the PorlIanders?

in adjoining the White House under Mr. Van Buren's

commenced when ] seventeen years old, and
continued until the Fall of 1896, varying in vio-

OF the time, great part of my face was covered with
the eruption, frequently attended with violent itch.
ing my head sweled a, times until it felt as If it
would burst-the swelling was great, that could
scarcely get my hat on. During the long period
that was afflicted with the disease, used a great

preparatlons) as w II as taking inward remedies,

! was also under the care of two of the most dis
ingushed physicians of this city, but without rc.
cclvng much benefit, and despaired Of ever being
cured. In the fill of 1896, the disease a the time
being very violent, | commenced using the Ros,
Ointment, (prcparcd bv Vaughan g. Davis.) In
few applications the violent itching ceased the
swelling ahaicd the eruption began to disappear
and before had used jar the disease entirely

Great were the hearts and strong the minds

The immortal league Of love that binds
Our fair, broad Empire, State with State,
And deep the gladness of the hour,
When as the auspcious task was done,
In solemn trust, the sword of pcwer,
Was given to glory's unspoild son.
That noble race is gone; the SIMS

But the bright links those chosen ones
So strongly forged are brighter yet
Widc-as our own free race increase
Wide shall extend the elastic chain,
And bind, in everlasting peace,

BY THOMAS MOORE.
Oh, no-not e'en when first we loved,
Vert thou so dear as now thou art;
Thy beauty then my senses moved,
But now thy virtues bind my heart.
What was but PASSIONS sign before,
Has since been turn'd to reasons vow;
And, though then might love thee more,
Trust me, love thee better now.
Although my heart in earlier youth
Might kindle with more mild desire,
Believe me, it has gained in truth
Much more than it has lost in fire
The flame now warns my inmost core,
That then but sparkl'd DER my brow,
And, though seem'd to love thee NOR
Yet, Oh, love thee better now.
