For The Indiana Sfafe s
COMMA.

0, take me on thy arms, mamma,
Aud kiss my cheek pale;
For my brow is damp with the clammy dews
Which fall in deaths lone vale.
My eyes are growing dim, mamma,
Like stars that begin to wane,
And my little ngue is parched and dry,
And my head is racked with pain.
Then cradle thy knee, mamma,
And sing thy child asleep,
And wipe the tear from it's rolling eye,
The ear that il cannot weep.
hear a sound in the woods mamma,
Like the voice Of the winter-kiug,
Pluckng the leaves from their tender stems,
And blasting the flowers of spring.
And as one by one they fall, mamma,
Methinks they say to me,
Like the tender leaf and the spring. blown flower,
Sweet child, thy doom must be.
But do not weep for me, mamma,
l fear not the wner-king,
NUr the darksome gloon Of the lonely grave,
Which knows no early spring.
home is prepared for me, mamma,
Afar in yon brilliant sky,
Where robed in light thy child shall dwell,
With the fow'rets that never die.
Then fondle me on thy knee, mamma,
And let thy arms entwine
Around thy poor, poor dying child,
And cool my feverish brain.

ORIGIN OF RAILwAYs.-The original inventor, IT
now appears, of the railway system, the late
gineer, Mr. Fredericks of Hanover. He first thought
of constructing machine for tie conveyance of hea-
Wy loads, while visiting the mines of Silesia and he
subsequently invented iron rails exactly they
are In use; also locomotive engine and a cart to
from the Dovttry silver mine, upon the Haregni-
on mountain, Hanover, to the place Of refinement,
Pucherich, distance Of about an hours drive. The
cart four wheeled one, and on Its frame was
wooden chest, filed with the mineral of from 60 TO
so cwt. The guide sat upon the driving box like
coachman, and able, by pressure, TO direct or ar
rest the cart at any rate of speed The evidence con-
nected with this origin of the railway and locomotive
is proved by persons still living; who rode in it.
The distance requiring walk of forty-ive minutes
thus performed upon 1t by the king and queen IN

in order to prove that We here are not set of block
heads" This invention was thus transferred to Eng
land where MIR. Thomas Gray of Exeter finally

cation Of steam to boats, the steam locomotive was
also introduced. These important facts have just
been made known, and they show that The claims OF
England to this as to almost every other invention
made by others, not to be sustained. Thus the
world is indebted to Germany for four Of the most
important inventions: those of powder, printing,
clocks and railroads.-N y Nelcs.

horses took fright and attempted to run this excited

WHGGERY.-Democratic Governors generally re-
commend day of Thanksgiving and Praise to AL
mighty God for his care and various mercies. Wing
Governors as generally appoint such day. We
should like to know where they get this power Of ap-
PoiRtent. But to show British Whiggery in Its
garb it is only necessary TO read the proclamation of
his Transcendental Excellency, Lord w. w. Seaton,
A. s. s., the Grand Lord Mayor of Washington City.
He goes the whole swine, and not only appoints the
day, but absolutely eOins it upon erery one to OBJ
serve it! Whiggey's foot will stick out, even in
serving the Lord.

Allen County Convention.

We are glad TO see the manly stand taken by the
true Democratic papers against the further issue of shin
plasters by the State Bank The Greencastle Patriot
has the following remarks in reply to the Wabash
Courier, chin plaster Wing concern:
No, the people Of the State are not willing that the
small bills Of the Banks Of other States or Of this
State shall longer be INDUCED, nor will such be the
effect of refusing the demands Of TIE State Bank for
permanent privilege of issuing its a. shin Pdsers."
The same logic used by the Courier, was used by
the Bank TO obtain this BOOM and will lose Of its
force, IT any 1t had, for hundred years to
Ohio authorizes her Banks TO issue small bs and to
remedy that evil, Indiana must give her Bank the
same privilege, ard so with Kentucky, Illinois, &c.
Now according to this Bank logic, when can the
people remedy this evil Not until all Bank charters
expire at once, and every State in the Union will
commence the reform and carry 1t out together, which
as the Bankites very well know, can never happen.
The effect of the small circulation is drive
specie out Of circulation and indemnify the Bank to
great extent against the return Of her promises to pay.
They will not expel the small of other States.
What sort Of magic has Indiana ones thar iyes have
not in expellng the emissions of the Kentucky or
Ohio Banks 1t must be, if at all, owing either to
their denomination, or their quality as circulation.
If bills of tie value Of five dollars cannot expel bills
of the value Of dollar how bills Of one-ffth
the value do it! Is it because they occupy different
channel in their circulation If this be true why
viii not silver drive them out just as well
But how Is it that the Bank advocates contend that
we must do evil that good may of it - If tie
small notes of the other States are not an evil why
want to expel them If they are an evil why want
to add to by doing evil ourselves But adding our
wrongs TO the wrongs of Ohio and Kentucky will no
more cure them, than if farmer should turn his own
hogs into his field to drive his neghbors out and
thereby his crop. The truth is, it won't do it.
