Gov. Porter's Message.

A simple man nigh. rub his eyes in
establishment and modest one grow
red in front Of his ears on reading this
official missiye. An ignorant person
might safely swear the Governor TO be
a good wing and his constituents fast
friends Of the ''fa,her Of the American
system"-we mean al time when
men speak what they think and act up
TO wha. they say.
Gov. Porter has written an able de.
fence Of the present Tariff, and pro.
tests in the name Of the State against
any modification Of the present law, so
far as it relates to "coal and iron" =
And yet this same Governor voted for
James X. Polk for President and with
the aid of the rank and file of his party
gave him the State by over six thou
sand majority. Gov. Porter knew the
man for whom he was voting to be a
free trade man. In common with 9TH
er leaders he assisted in the decei,
which passed him off among the igno-
rant as friend to the Tariff; yet the
lie did not stick in his throat, but trav-
eled with rail road speed through The
State and did its work. They have
planted tree Of their choice, let them
eat Of its fruit-they wanted stalking
shadow for their Chief Magistrate, lei
them lie down under its pro.ec,ion-as
they have sown let them reap. The
mean hypocrisy is oyerborne by the
narrow sel6shness, .coal and iron" is
the measure Of the pleading. The Su
gar plantations Of Louisiana nayrun &c
waste, the sal, cauldrons Of New York
rust in the open air. the shoe trade Of
Massachusetts, perish, and the cotton
and wooden mills Of Connecticut and
Maine be left desolate, but 'coal and
iron" must be the midnight meditation
and the waking thoughts of national
Legislators. Protect "coal and iron, +"
pardon murderers. burglars and com.
mon .heives-pay your State interes.
when it is perfectly convenient, and
when not. button up your pockets and
look your creditors fiercely in the face;
vote for Free Trade men and whine for
Tariff, and the red glow Of your
smelling furnaces may become black
as your political principles, and your
coal veins be forever sealed up from
daylight, and when you ask for sym
palhy you may z" f"r,her and fare
worse"

STANZA As.


When night her brow Of beauty bends,
Refulgent with each glittering gem,
The rapt aad trembling thought ascends
To high scompanionship with them.
Bright-bright forever there they shine,
Fed from their own unwasting urns,
Tho idols Of how many a shrine,
Wherein the heart its Incense burns.
Fond soothers Of our earliest dreams.
Fen now. as then, they greet our eyes,
With half.bche!d, but gorgeous CLEANS
Of light. from opening Paradise.
If it be guilt, not unforgiven
Should be that crime, which dares TO
claim,
With those celestial lights Of Heaven.
The lofty brotaerh God Of fame.
1t might our saddest tones remit,
Our most respondent doubts assuage,
To know our fadeless memories writ,
Upon 60 fair. SO bright a page,
For if with faith, we look beyond
The Surroundings Of lowly lot,
How must the aching heart despond,
To think its name remembered not.
IT'S not in vain! tits not IN vain,
We have against oblivion plead,
To link our spirits with the Chain,
Which binds tho living to the dead.
Still let us deem their steady ray,
Dim shining now, through grief ant
gloom,
Shall shine and purely shine for aye,
To light Immortality our tomb.
