COMPLAINTS OF TIE POOR.
BY RoPERT SeUTHEY.

And wherefore do the poor COMPLAIN?
The rich man asked Of me;
Come walk along with me, said |,
And will answer thee.
Twas evening, and the frozen streets
Were cherries TO behold:
And we were wrapt and coated wall,
But yet We Eel! The cold.
We nat an old bare headed man
His locks were few and whils;
ask'd him what he did abroad,
In that cold winter night
Twas bitter keen, indeed he said,
But a; home no fire had he;
Aud therefore had he come abroad,
TIC ash for charity,
We met young bare footed child,
She begged lund and hold;
And therefore had she come abrotd,
WheA the wind it is go cold.
She said her ialher was e! home,
And he lay sick in bed;
ADd therefore was it she was sent
Abroad to beg for bread.
We saw woman sitting down
Upon stone 10 rest,
She had baby at her back,
Another a.her breast.
| asked her why she loitercl there:
When Inc wind II blew so chill,
She turned her head and hsde the child,
That screamed behind, be still.
She told us that her husband served,
4 soldier tar away,
And therefore, TO her parish she
Was begging back her way.
We met girl, her dress was loose,
And sunken was her eye;
VINO with Inc wanton's hollow voice,
Addressed she paaser by.
! asked her what there was in guilt,
Tha! could her heart allure
To shame, disease snd la!e rcnlo:se--
She answered, she wGs pour,
! turned me 70 the rich man then,
For silently stood he:
Yon asked me Why the poor ccmBloin,
And these have answered het.

"Though | yak thro' tho gloomy vale,
Where doath and all its terrols are,
My heart and hopes shall never fail
For God my Shepherds with me there"
The shafts Of death fall thick around
ue, and this charming world, like the
field OF strife, is sl.ewn with the dead and
dying. The mourners 90 about ihe
street; they follow the young, tie loves
Iy, Tie beautiful, the good, to their long
home-the silent grave. The mourniul
knell chimes to her measured pace,
and mingles its sepulchral tone with the
burst Of sorrow.
But in all the circumstances of wo,
attendant on the departure Of those we
love from The busy scenes Of life, there is
TO the Christian much consolation, when
he feels assured that they had witnessed
good confession. Seeing they have
escaped these storms and pillows of lile's
tempestuous sea, and conscious that they
are safe in the port Of endless bliss, where
The wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are forever at rest, we feel resign
ed-knowirg that our loss is their nGn..
lite gain. Indeed we rejoice, rather than
mourn; for truly our separation will be a
very short che, and our meeting with
happy conneXions,O how joyful! Then
shall we breathe our native air, and taste
the fruit of tina, delightful cline where all
is fertile, rich, and fragrant.
Among the many evidences Of the pow
or Of Christianity nothing can be more

/, Federal whiggery, although routed ana deteal-

in bad cause Have they any new. issues to
tender2 - If NOT, do they expect the peopleato
change their verdict w are certainly willing
to try the old ones over again. popular express
sion in their favor has been too strong to doubt
the result Virginia is the first State in the South
to head off in the duei and the only fear there, is
in having too many candidates tickets.
But we will not doubt the Banner State Of Demo
cracy under, any circumstances or disadvantages.
She has been so long misrepresented by faithless
Rves that she cannot be Indifferent in the contest
Her own dear principles are at stake-the doc
trines of '98 are to be re-asserted-and her proud
name, "that she never cast a Federal VOTE" is to
be sustained. Let her lead off, then; her sisters
in the South will follow her in the good cause

to redeem the Old North State2 s.'.-"
We love our native State, but She is in bad
company-by the side of Massachusetts, Connec-
ticut, Vermont &c.-the heart sickens at the cata-
logue. She ought TO be with New York and
Pennsylvania, with Virginia and other sister
States of The South. Shall she be put there2 At
every election since 1910 we have gained upon
the enemy. The time is favorable for vigorous
efort-the President is native of your State
will you not give him trial before you condemn
him? In order that it should be fair one, give
him jury selected by his friends at least, and not
packed by his enemies. This the numblest ci:i-

OPPOSITION

The warfare and opposition intended to be wag-
ed upon Mr.. Polk's Administration by the Fed
eralists are plainly visible in the distant horizon
Indeed their papers are terribly puzzled to, fad
something to grumbIe about They find fault
with his Cabinet as being inefficient and destitute
of ability yet it gives universal satisfaction to his
friends 1t would be difficult indeed to please such
grumblcrs. The country looks for nothing but
opposition from them and will know how to ap-
preciate their murmurs Let them complain
thcn-poor fellows they are reduced 10 a sad di-
lemma, and like all other whipped children should
be indulgcd in their sobs. But will none Of them
have the independence TO try the administration.
before they condemn it2 We fear not Yet they
had better: for we venture TO predict that this will
be one of the most popular administrations that we
ever had. Col. Polk is exactly such a man n.
the people want; all who went to the Inaugural
tion were delighted with him; it would do the heart
of even whig good 10 hear those who saw him
culogise him. Indeed we have just seen a whig
right from Washington and he praised the Presi-
dent until we becarno jealous, we fear, that they
will try to take him away from us.
