RU1N.--We hear, says the Hartford Times,
that many of the manufacturers of New Eng
land, now that the Presidential election is over,
look at their own interests calmly, and frankly
acknowledge that tits better for them than if the
Presidential contest had resulted in Clay's cleo
ton. In Tarifyille preparations are in progress
to increase business. One million of brick have
been contracted for in the way of building addi-
tional factories connected with those now in pro-
gress. This does not look much like the ruin
which the wings said would follow Mr.. Polk's
election.

Standing Committees in the United
StnteS Senate

In another column of to-day's paper, will be
found the names of the Standing Committees,
as announced by the President of the Senate TO
that body, on The l0tl, instant. Mr.. ALLEN, Of
this State, is Chairman of the Committee OH
Foreign Relations, in connection with Messrs.
Cass, Archer, Atheron and Huger, which rates
as the most important committee of the Senate,
and is high compliment to the young Senator
from Ohio. On the appointment of the com
mitteos, the Globe remarks:
"The organization of the committees in the
Senate shows an array of commanding strength
in support of the new administration. The first,
which looks to foreign affairs, il will BE seen, has
on it strong men from every section. General
Cass, we learn, waived the tender of tho fist
place, which his age commanded, in favor Of Mr..
Allen" sa

INDUSTRIOUS AND THREATENING AS
SAULTS UPON THE ESTABLISHED
LAWS OF THE STATE BY A RECK-
LESS WIIlG MAJORITY
Every guaranty of the constitution is 10 be
swept away by the reckless tyrants now acci-
dentally convened in Sur Legislative halls.
A bill was introduced into the Senate on yester-
day, by the whig majority, changing the Con-
gressiona Districts of the State, which they
EVEN REFUSED TO PRINT, that the Democratic
members might see it! 1t has been concocted
in the dark and is to be forced through without
even suffering the minority to see it! We learn
that it takes Knox county from this district and
puts ii on to Richland, and takes Delaware from
the Richland district and puts it on 10 this
Madison is taken from the Springfield district
and put on 10 the Pickaway and Fairfield dis
trict. Preble and DRrke are put with Mcntgo-
merry county. Butler, old democratic Butler, is
put with Warren and Clinton, Hooking is taken
from the Ross district, and Scioto put on in its
place.
Here are some of the infamous outrages a.
bout to be perpetrated by a foul and reckless
Imajory-every thing is to be turned loose, and
every guaranty of law and custom is TO be bro
ken up IL is theHtSt atienlp OF the Klnd since Inc
organization of our State, and must unsettlc and
confuse all established usages hereafter. The
constitution is 10 be annued, and the reckless
malignity of an accidental majority is TO be the
only rule Of action.
White men are to be harrassed, perplexed, in
Ijured, and Negroes alone are to receive the sym
pathes and protection of federalism
The people must be aroused to The destruc-
ton that awaits them, if such hgh-handed mea-
Isures 60 unrebuked. He who will step forward
with a bold voice and determined spirit and meet
the crisis, will deserve the highest honors Of his
State and country.

NATURALIZATION Laws In LOUISIANA BY a
vote of the Louisiana Convention, which was
submitted to that body by Mr.. Guion, on Thurs
day, February 9TH the important principle has
been Recognized of making a residence of two
years citizenship essential 10 the privilege of vo-
ting at elections. Much goodis expected to fol-
low this judicous change; and many Of the
frauds perpetrated by qualifying voters just pre-
vious to elections will cease A residence of
two years after naturalization will afford adopted
citizens time for reflection, and remove them
fiom the influence of designing politicians. The
provision is wise one, and will operate beneGci-
ally, not only on the individuals concerned, but
on The general interests Of the country,

President PolIx,s Cabinet.

On the 5tE inst, the President nominated the
following gentlemen 10 the Senate as his Cabinet
oiiicers
Secretrry Of State, Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN,
OF Pennsylvania
Secretary Of the Treasury, Hon. RoBT. J..
WALKER, OF Mississippi.
Secretary ef War, Hon. WIN. S. MARCY, OF
New York.
Secretary Of the Many, Hon. GEo. BANCROFT,
OF Massachusetts.
Attorney General, Hon. JOHN Y. Mason, OF
Virginia.
Post Master General, Hon. CAVE JOHNSON, of
Tennessee.
All the above, we're, on the same day, con-
irmed by the Senate, except Mr.. Bancroft
The consideration of his nomination, says the
Globe, "was postponed for reasons that we are
unable 10 divine"
?. S. Since the above was in type, we learn
from Washington, that the Senate, which adour-
ned over some days before the close of that
week, confirmed, on Monday the 10th instant,
Mr.. Bancrofl's nomination without dissenting
voice We have heard, says the Globe, that the
object Of the posponement asked for by mem
Der Of the Senate, arose out of wish 10 exam
inc some public letter writer. by Nj. Bancroft
ie relation TO the Imprisonment Of Gov. Dorr.
We suppose the purport Of tho letter must have
been grossly misreprescnled; for certainly moth
ing ever came from the pen of MIR. Bancroft
more honorable TO his head or bis heart We
learn, with great pleasure, that the mover of the
incipient inquiry gave notice that he dropped il,
and the confirmation Of the nomination was
unanimous.
The Cabinet is composed Of men of TALENT
of fine business aptitudes--of unblemished and
exalted characters. All of them are dstlsguish-
ed for devotion to the democratic cause, each
having seen at least sixteen years of hard ser
vice--twelve years under the lead Of jackson
and Van Buren, and four during the term which
has resulted in the elevation of President
Polk.

We learn from the Ohio Statesman Of the | lth
inst, that the whg bill which passed the Senate
10 alter the Congressional Districts, and to Ger

passed the House on the morning of that dav
So the deed is done-the act of infamy fully
consummated, by band of the most reckless
political desperadoes and black-hearted scoun-
drels that ever disgraced the Capitol of Ohio!
Thus, one of the most hgh-handed and bare
faced measures ever concoctcd in wbig tin-pan,
has been forced through the Legislature of this
State, altering the Congressional districts, which
the Constitution requires to be done only once in
ten years, after the taking of each census, in or
der to adjust the representation of the respec-
tive States in conformity thereto Yet, for mere
party purposes, the federal majority in the Leg
islature have passed bill to alter or re-dstrict
the State, in direct violation Of the Constitution
of the United States. The following is the bill
referred to, as it passed both branches of the
Legislature:
A BILL
To amend the act to divide the State into Con-
gressional Districts.

The Repcrehd Jacob Lennon, who spends
his time at Columbus in collecting up German
pamphlets, daubing them with grease and flth,
and sending them 10 his constituents TO insult
them, is but shaming himself and disgracing the
county he mis-represents. A friend in Colum
bus writes: 81 do hope you will send next fall a
better looking disciple 10 represent you than old
Jake. He is the worst looking man in the
House. Twas in the House few evenings ago,
when he Jacob was making few remarks on
retrenchment, and when he got through, Mr..
Combs arose and asked what gentleman that
was, and when told it was the member from
Harrison, said that he was not aware until now
that Harrison county was represented"

THE KISS.

oh no-oh motor shame pray, not SO fast;
Why you begin, see, TO grow unruy;
What though suffered you my hand to clasp
did not give you leave to kiss me, surely!
Why, sir, really am quite shocked, ! vow,
To see of late how very rude you grow.
What would my mother say? Idare not think
Oh dear, il she had caught us--how tremble
am afraid 10 night shall not sleep wink
All, think how you will oblige me to dissembe
How shall blush, if but meet .Four eye
Indeed, twas very wrong, you tan't deny.
Fray remove your arm from around my waist:
l must not suffer you to sit so near me:
Pm afraid twas wrong TO be so close embraced
You mean no good by doing %, fear me.
MY mother warned me Of you to take heed
did not think you'd be so bold, indeed!
Fray don't approach your lips SO close to mine,
Asyou do now--you know there's no one listing,
Why you should whisper, then, can't divine
And see your eyes now with mischief glist'ning,
Oh, il you dare again attempt another,
Why, really, sir, shall inform my mother!
But il you must do such n naughty thing,
And what you hath said is true--you love me,
Perhaps, dear youth, simple golden ring,
10 grant such might have power to move me.
Were your wife Of course 'twould not be wrong,
And then you'd il you peus'd, KISS ALL DAY LONG.

Oh deep within the ''sunny South"
There rolls a quiet stream;
Its waves go singing on their way,
As in pleasant dream.
The grass is green upon its shore,
Bright blossoms miDgle there;
And music's soft bewitohing spell
Is laid upon the air.
o! the dark Yazoo,
o! the dark Yazoo,
There's beauty on thy heaying wave,
AS the soft zephyrs WOO.
The wild deer from his covert HES,
To quaff its sparkling wave;
And there the swans at heat OF noon,
Their snowy bosoms lave,
For well they know, whilst they are there,
No Javelin will be hurled;
IT'S there forbid, the Indian tells,
BY him who rules the world.
O!the dark Yazoo, &c.
II was a joyous morn in May,
When all was calm and still,
Save passing breeze or voice OF bird,
Or sound OF distant rill-
A deer came bounding to the stream,
A red chief on its track,
Drawn was his bow, when rose voice,
To warn his footsteps back.
o! the dark Yazoo, &c.
Retreat, it cried, thou know'st this spot
Must have no bloody dye,
That here thy bow must never sound,
Nor fatal arrow fly.
The chieltain heard, but still pass'd on,
Quick flew his arrow dread;
But as it left his yielding bow,
His spirit with i, fed

The long hours of the night came on,
Bright rose his wigwam fame,
And eager watched bis wife and child;
But still no oh'eftain came.

Alas twas all in vain;
Vain was their search, and vain their tears,
He meier returned again.

CON AND CALIFORNIA,
The recent expedition of Lieut., FRE-
MONT, under the direction of the War De.
partment, is one of the most daring and
romantic among the achievements Of mo.
dern travellers. Il was not merely an ex-
petition TO Oregon, but il was the crossing
OF the great North American Andes, in
the midst Of winter--a feat far exceeding
the passage Of the Alps, by tho ancient or
modern warriors.
In the annual report Of the Topogra-
phical Department there is a brief sketch
Of this journey. II has none Of its ro-
nance, but contains an outline Of what was
done, which may be enough 10 excite an
interest in the narrative, which we hope,
Lieut.. Fremont will hereafter give The
public.
This officer left West Port, Missouri, on
the LIST of June, 1913. Ills route from
there was first to the north Of Kanzas;
thence up that stream to the Republican
Fork, which was pursued to Longs Peak.
This, with two other lofty submits, are
