Lady! as yon brilliant star,
Cleaning on the brow of night,
Shines eflugent from afar,
With 4 pure unchangng light,
So my heart will ever be
Bound in love, and truth to thee.
Trust them not who oft will say.
Mans affections are but vain
Mine are like the stars bright ray,
Which forever will remain,-
Until death enr lot shall sever,
/ will love and serve thee, ever. Censor.

FLORIDA.

So far as returns have been received it appears
that the democracy of this young State have achieved
a signal victory in the triumphant election of Col.
w. d. Moseley as governor, and the Hon, David
Levy as first representative in the Congress of the
United States, besides having obtained majority
in both branches of the legislature.
The citizens Of Florida may well be proud that
they have launched the ship of state upon the waters
of political life under such management and with
such representative Of their interests. They are
both emphatically men of the people. OF governor
Moseey, the writer is acquainted only from reputa-
ton. He is represented possessing all those pc
cuiar qualities which pre-eminently fit an individual
for such conspicuous station, combined with those
industrious habits, without which the highest attain
ments will accomplish but little for the public good.
But of the representative, the writer speak from
personal observation and acquaintance. This gem
tleman has been the arbiter of his own fortunes.
He has struggled against difficulties of almost every
description and against the most violent persecu-
ton, till success has crowned his efforts Univer
sally beloved not only by his constituents, but by
all with whom he comes in contact, he possesses
talents which peculiarly qualify him as the represen-
tative of the people Of his State Quickness of per.
cepton, fearlessness, promptitude, and energy in
the discharge of his public duties, are character
istcs of the man. But what is particularly
worthy of note in the history Of Mr.. Levy, and
what has specially gained for him the estima-
ton of all parties, is the digent attention he has
given TO the business OF MS constituents, WITHOUT
respect to party or to circumstances. Instead of
spending his time in replying to groundless attacks,
to which is the lot of every public man to be ex-
posed, he has, during period of uncommon com
pexity and embarrassment in the affairs OF Florida,
while acting as her delegate, devoted himself with
unremitting attention and perseverance TO the nu-
merous and often minute and difficult claims Of his
constituents growing out Of the late Indian HOSTILE
ties in that Territory. None were turned away;
but his best exertions freely given to the hum
bes citizen, and even to his political opponents
willing that his conduct should be the answer to the
attacks upon his fame. His efforts in Congress,
too, in behalf Of Florida, will compare fayorably
with those Of any Of his predecessors; while his
ability in defending the interests Of the South, in
that body, will cause him TO be received with a
hearty welcome by the members of the confederacy
from that section.
1t is pleasing, Mr.. Editor to note such instances
the present. Of the triumph Of democratic princi-
pies, as cvncive Of the ability and frmness of the

For the Union
ABUSIVE ATTACK OF THE NEW YORK
EXPRESS ON THE PRESIDENT AND
COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS.
The late article in the New York Express sssail-
ing the President and Mr.. Burke, the new Commits
soner of Patents for coarse vituperaton and vulgar
abuse, will hardly find parallel, even in
the wing press of this country. Such attacks are
too gross and too kennei-lke, to merit reply. Ii
such trades are be taken as an evidence of the
taste and refinement of the wing press, which has
long affected to represent all the decency Of society,
trust that they may be confined to the prints
of that party. The secret Of this attack on Mr.,
Burke, (written undoubtedly by one of the editors
of the "New York Express" person who has
been housing around Congress for the last six or
eight years an Indifferent letter-writer, " to be
found in the fact that Mr. Burke deemed it necessa-
ny to dismiss his (Brooks's) broher-in-law tempo
rary clerk in the Patent Office from further employ
ment, because he had nothing for him to do. This
was ample cause to provoke the ire OF the "New
York Express" and hence his Shiny effuson upon
the head of the Commissioner and the President for
In Justice to Mr.. Burke, will add that he believes
in the propriety and expcdiency Of giving to the
democratic party fair representation in the public
offices connected with the general government in
this city, which that party does not now possess;
and he also believes in the salutary doctrine, not
sufficiently practised upon by any administration,
of d thorough and complete regeneration in all the
Offices and clerkships connected with the govern
ent, once in eight years at the arthest and far
as he is concerned, have reason to believe that he
will practise upon this belief
That the President will escape the abuse and
vtuperation of the federal press, need not be ex-
pected, nor desired Whenever he becomes fa-
vore Of the politicians Of that stamp, his patriotism
and his fidelity to the principles and the party to
whom he owes his election, may well be doubted
