OURSELVES.

There is a class of individuals attached TO the
newspaper presses of the country, who hover
around The Offices Of men in power in our city,
and serve up in the form of daily letters from
Washington, every thing that truth can utter or
rumor bring forth.
Many OF these gentlemen enjoy, and Justly
SO, high regulations for talents aud gentlemanly
bearing. Nay, all of them are, as far as we
know, honorable men; bur yet these same indi-
viduals cause more mischief, nnocenty enough
we doubt not, on their part than all the scandal.
mongers and tale bearers of any other city in
the world.
Now, we have no objection to being made
famous by these patronzing gentlemen, who do
so many good natured things for three dollars a
letter. Nor have we any objection TO the worlds
knowing the state Of our affairs, and the ends
we have in view. We have no objection TO
Cass, or of Mr.. Woodbury. but we have seri-
Gus objections TO being dubbed the mouth-piece
Of any clique, whether from the cotton fields Of
the South-the shores of the Wesiern Lakes
the gardens Of Undertook, or the Granite Hills
of New Hampshire We are not to be slurred
out Of our course, or frightened from our pro
priery, by any or all of the cacoefhes scribendi
race. Nor will we deny that which is charged
to our account, unless it is our pleasure so to do.

WISDOM AND THE RoD.--The decision of tn. Soc;
ETY. of Teachers and the Friends of Education in
New Jersey, in favor Of the rod, occasions quite
animated discussion in the papers of that State, and
reasons for and against the decision are quite album

of the subject, and shows conclusively the peces
sity of the rod, that induced TO copy his re-
marks. The rod he says, "whips IN some things
and whips out other things 1t whips in wisdom and

schoolmasters should be stripped of their ancen, pre-

II broke on the bush Of morn
IL startled the dull midnight,
Like the stirring peal Of the battle horn,
Ii .ummoood them forth To night;
IL rose DER the swelling hill,
BY the meadows green II was heard,
Calling out for the strength Of the leoman's will
And the might Of freeman's sword
The rivers heard the noise
The valleys rung II out
And every heart lcsp'd high at the voice
~ that thrilling battle shout
They sprang from The bridal bed,
From the pallet Of lsbor's rest,
And they hurried away 10 the field of the dead
Like a tardy marriage guest.
They the plough in the corn,
left the steer In the yoke
And aVXy from mother and child that morn
And the maidens hrst kiss they BROKE
In the shower Of the deadly shot
In The lurid van OF the war
Sternly they stood, bat they answered not
The hrelings wild hurrah
But still "a the brooding storm,
Ire 1t lashes ocean 10 foam,
The strength Of tho free was IN every arm,
And every heart on It's home,
OF their pleasant homes they thought
They prayed 10 their fathers God
Andforwsrd they went lill their dear blood bought
The broad free land they tfod.

MACHINE PoETRY.-sPRING

The robins arc singing,
The grass Is upepringing,
And April is bringing
Mild sunshine and showers,
The bellies arc out airing,
Gay dresses they're wearing,
And the fields are preparing
To put forth their flowers
The brooks arc swim running,
The snakes are out summing,
The boys are out cunning,
The fountains are spouting,
The anglers are troutinx
Far OF mid the hills,
Where the lsmbkins are prsnoins,
And the sunbeams are dancing
On the bright sparkling rills
The partridge is drumming
BY the mountain side rude,
And the hornet is humming
His song in the wood
The spider sits cycling
The Insect that's flying,
To catch him-the scamp!
The owlet Is sleeping,
While the bugs are a-creeping,
And the frogs are a-peeping

The streamlcts are flooding,
The lllacs are budding,
And cloud wTesths are seudding
Athwart the blue sky;
The cataracts roaring
While It's waters are pouring,
And the hen-hswk is soaring
With the eagle on high.
