OURSELVES.

With our lasi number expired the for
ner Editors connection with the Tele-
graph, consequently the duties pertaining
to the editorial department, has devolved
upon the proprietor. Those who have been
in the habit of reading the Telegraph, can
best appreciate the ability with which it
has been conducted, and judge of the
soundness of the principles, it esPoused and
advocated. Mr.. Jet is firm unwavering
and uncompromising Wing, and enthusias-
tic admirer of the great and illustrious
statesman, Henry Clay, and during the fu-
rious canvass Just terminated, rendered him
his most cheerful, and undivided support.
These are the principles to which we ad-
here, and which will continue to receive
our most earnest advocacy We have
been beaten, but not sheartened-worst-
ed but not dispirited-vanquished but not
conquered, and when the proper time ar
rives, we will be found at our post manful-
" battling for our rights, and fearlessly de-
tending the principles, in the correctness of
which, our confidence is undiminished, and
which, we doubt not, will be sustained by
the American People. Our party has been
defeated, but not by fair means; our
leader whom we delighted TO honor and
support, and under whose banner we were
proud to march, has been shamefIlly abused,
and maliciously slandered, by heated par
tizans, envious, and ambitious politicians,
and office-seehing demagogues; and there
by rendered odious, to thousands of honest
and unsuspecting citizens; but, when the
mist of party strife shall have cleared away,
and the people permitted to read, reflect,
and think for themselves, our party must
and scW triumph.
Apart from political considerations, we
would remark that it is essentially neces-
sary that a paper should be published in
this section Of our State. 1t is believed
that no part of the whole South west, is
more abundant in natural resources, than
our portion of Arkansas, hence, the impor-
tance ofa proper channel, through which,
their value may be estimated, their bene-
fits promulgated, their acquisition consum-
mated and cur farmers enriched. This is
the only paper published in the South
western part OF our State, and when its i'm
portance is duly appreciated, it doubtless
will be literally patronized by generous
and spirited public. 1t is the easiest thing
imaginable to render a paper prosperous
and useful, when people take an interest in
its welfare, and put their shoulders to the
wheel Of its support, and unless this course
is pursued it must inevitably languish, and
be of little or no benefit to the community.
Our best efforts shall be used to make
ourpaper useful and interesting to all classes.
and those with whom it is our misfortune
to differ in politics, we hope, will have no
ground to accuse US of a want of proper
urbanity and courtesy. We ask the con-
tinuance ofthe patronage ofa liberal public,
and hope to merit its appreciation.

hall where the dead remain some time be-
fore being committed to the ground. In this
hall, the body, neatly alfred, is laid upon a

which the slightest breath would cloud, and
between the fingers a string, which, on the
slightest movement, causes a bell in the de-

OLD TIMEs.--Rev. Mr.. Fox, of Newhury-
port, in an old paper written in 1928, 10
friend, gave a familiar sketch of the manners
and habits of the good people ofBoston, near
Iy a century ago. The following is that part
which describes the dress of a couple as they
arranged for marriage:
"Fo begin with the lady: her long locks
were strained upward over an immense cush-
ion that sat like an incubus on her head, and
sprinkled over with a shower of white pow
der. The height OF this tower was m
what over a foot. One single white rosebud
lay upon its summit like an eagle on a hay
stack. Over her neck and bosom was fol-
ded lace handkerchief, fastened in front by
a bosom pin rather larger than a dollar, con
sisting of your grandfather's miniature set in
virgin gold. Her airy form was braced up
in a satin dress, the sleeves tight as the nat
ural skin 10 the arm, with a waist formed by a
bodice, worn outside, from whence the skirt
flowed off, and was distended at the ancles
by an ample hoop. Shoes Of white kid, with
peaked toes, and heels oftwo or three inches
elevation, enclosed her feet, and g%littered with
spangles, as her little pedal members peeped
curiously out.
Snow for the swain. Your grandfather
slept in an arm chair the nightbefore his wed
ding, that the arrangement ofhis pericranium
which had been under the hands of a barber
the whole afternoon might not be disturbed
His hair was sleeked back, and plentifully
beHowered, while his cue projected like the
handle of a skillet. His coat was OF sky blue
silk, lined with yellow; his long vest of viii
satin, embroidered with gold lace his breech
es of the same material, and tied at the
knee with pink ribbon. White silk stock
f ings and pumps, with cloaks and lies of tht
same hue, completed the habiliments of hi
neither limbs.-Lace RIFLES clustered arounC
his wrists, and "a portentous frlll worked il
correspondence, and bearing the miniature o
his beloved, finished his truly genteel appear
%ance."

Of Europe; when they are not wanted for

This will create a surplus, and a majority OF

they will bring with them their principles,
and in nine case out of ten, adhere to their
ancient and former Governments, laws, man

SQUIRE JONES' DAUGHTER.

Sweet is the gush of waterfalls,
The melody of birds,
The murmur of the f%ivniet,
Or leaves by zephyrs stirred;
And sweet the sound of flute and voice,
When borne across the water;
But sweeter still than these, the voice
OF Squire Jones' daughter.
Bright is the star whose mellow ray
Can reach from heaven to earth;
And bright the tin pan newly secured,
Placed on the blazing hearth.
Bright is the sword with blood unstained,
BY blood in bloody slaughter;
But brighter still the flashing eye
OfSquire jones' daughter.
Red is the rosey posey's hue,
That grows down in the boilers;
And red is Uncle Nalhan's barn,
That cost a hundred dollars.
And red is sister Sally's shawl,
That cousing Levi bought her,
But redder stills the blooming cheek
OBSCURE jones' daughter.
Hot is the lava tide that rolls
A down Vesuvus' mountain,
And hot the tide that bubbles out
From Iceland's boiling fountain.
And hot a boys ears, boxed for doing
That which he hadn't oughter,
But hotter still the love | feel
For Squire jones' daughter.
