HON. REUBEN CHAPMAN.

We learn from late Mobile paper, that this
true hearted Democrat has declined TO run for
the gubernatorial chair of Alabama, and will
content himself with again representing the
people of the 9th Congressional district of his
State in the National Council. Whether he
comes before the public in the character of Gov
ernor or Representative, he is entitled to the
confidence and respect of the great Republican
party, and that he will have shown him where.
ever his name is heard, or his deeds are known.

THE UNITED STATES GAZETTE.


The editor of this sterling and peace-loving
paper, has laid aside his peculiar attachment TO
broad brlmmed equality and doye-colored sim
plicity and preached homily upon the proprie-
ty of President Folks dispensing with salute
Of cannon, upon his late visit to the Navy Yard
al this place. He considers that the indivi-
dual holding the office of President of the
United States has no right 10 remit any por-
upon the friends of the Republic and of the Ma.
Wy TO repudiate such conduct.
We are not opposed TO military salutes to su-
periors, whether first devised and offered to Sea
Kings of the North by serfs, or to the Pirates OF
the Adriatic by galley slaves, but we are OPP
posed to forcing civilians in the dress of citizens,
TO receive martial salutes at military posts, or on
board our frowning battle ships.
We were present once and saw Mr. Secretary
D''''''-' review battalion of marines and re-
ceiye their salute; and we recollect how we
laughed as he shuffled along the line with his
drawer strings hanging around his heels, dodg-
ing through the ranks like poor man at feas,
OF fat things; and we recolect furthermore
when the idle ceremony was over how much
relieved the good old man appeared TO be, while
slipping iced claret and eating capiare from a
midshipman's locker
Statutes naturally proceed from buttons to but
tons-lace to lace-and bullion to bullion When
the President puts on General Washington's
cooked hat and military coat, and with the old
battle sword that hangs up in the Patent Office
proceeds to review the Army and Navy Of
the United States prior to war with Mexico,
it will be time enough for him, if he peases, to
have his ears dinned with gun powder and hi,
breath stopped by the fumes of sulphur and salt
peue.

sat an hour to-day, John
Beside the old brock stream
Where we were school boys IN old time,
When manhood was a dream
The brook 10 choked with fallen leaves
The pond is dried away,
| scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The school house is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees,
The wild rose by the window side
No more waves In the breeze;
The scattered stones look desoiate,
The sod they rested on,
Has been ploughsd up by stranger hands
Since you and were gone.
The chestnut tree is dead, John,
A nd what is sadder now
The broken grapevine Of our swiug
Hangs on the wilhered bough;
read our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up ben cath the hollow side,
As We had piled them there.
Beneath the grass-grown bank, John,
looked for our old SPRING
That bubbIed down the alder path,
Three PAGES from the swing;
The PUSHES grow upon the brink,
The pool is black aud bare,
And not foot, this many day,
1t seems, has tIodden there.
took the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the HILL
IT'S darker than IL used to be,
And seems 80 lone and still
The birds sing yet upon the boughs-
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not voice Of human kind,
Where all our voices rung.
sat me on the fence, John,
That lies as in old time,
The same half panel in the path,
We use so Oft to climb,
And thought how DER the bars Of life,
Our playma,es had past on,
And left me counting on this spot
The faces that are gone.

eth thus upon the subject of applying for Office
from the old Dominion.
"Let Virginians say learn to look more AT Vir.
ginia and less at the Federal Government TO rely
upon their own exertions more and less upon Federal
office II cannot be denied that there is in Virginia
or at least has been, too much affection for Fedora
pap too much bankerng after the Aesh pots Of Egypt
II has become State reproach, and is reproach
which, If truly founded dms the lustre of the Old
Virginia character. man ought not to be excluded
because he Is Virginap but he is entitled TO no n,e
ference because he pleads co-nativity with Washing
ton and Jefferson, and POUNDS claim upon crcum-
stance which ought rather 10 make him ashamed of
pressing to be a candidate for the 'spoils'"
A New York paper has the following lima
tured allusion to the same old commonwealth
brhe Globe, says Evening paper, is Joining in
the exutatiops expressed in certain quarters over the
downfall of the Virginia monopoly of naval offices
That paper copies from mother which says that hther

inform the country that our navy not the properly

younger sons of her leading families.
Blythe following is a most excellent reason
why New Hampshire is so completely, so thor.
oughly democratic:
The Journal in giving the reason why New Hsmp-
shire is democratic, SAYS:
"The father brings up his boys TO the plough, par
cells bis acres among them at his decease and hooas
for no higher good than that they will follow in his
footsteps, and perpeuate his name upon the home
stead" '0'''
