HE STANDS ERECT.
BY THOMAS O. SPEAR.

lie stands erect. the fiercely tried
The slanderd--but the purified
From every venom'd wrong.
Erect in that majestic grace
unborrow'd from the pomp of place,
Above, yet OF the throng:
Where wiscst natures only know
The pleasures that from virtue flow,
And in release from action find
The love and homaye Of mankind ,=.s
lie stands erect, and shines alone
In eloquence of thought and tone,
The orator and sage
The great-the gifted-and the good.
Whose triumPhs live unsus,ain'd with blood,
The landmarks O. his age,
And standing thus he cannot fall,
But rise majestic over all
The croaking flock whose throats would pour
Iher raven cries where eagles soar.
He bore the tempest and the shock
Like oceans surge encumberd rock,
And back the pillows flung
That ragd around his stately form,
When bFaveiy breasting strife and storm,
He rose, with fearless tongue.
And standing forth, with soul elate,
For truth. for freedom, and the state,
Was heard 10 hail each struggling land,
Or silence factions phrenzied band
Friend of his race. h name is borne
Where 'er a badge OF freedoms worn,
Or rules a patriot hand:
IL floats on the Ercan breeze,
And DER the livid Carib seas;
10 far Paciiic's strand
And where the Andes pierce the skies,
As up the gorge the condor hies,
And hoPs has wings from peak to peak,
f~,h
The Suliote, when Bozzaris fell,
And Byron bade the world farewell,
Threw not his arms away,
But rallying fo prolong the fight,
feli IN h ; soul new delight,
To hear the name OF Clay
And, with glad and grateful heart,
Coniess'd the champions cheering part,
Whose voice arose, DER isle and wave,
For Greece, the bleeding and the brave.
He stands erect. with soaring view,
In all his natures promptinEs true,
Like Gabriel with his front to Cod
Nithou, a staiB-withoui a fear
While hosts celestial shining near
Approve the way he irod;
and as the flaming Hierarch's plsce
Il borne with heavens serenest grace,
His soul enjoys the fate that brought
Ihe sweets Of iran Iulizins Thought.
Erect and just, and firm and fast,
He stands pillar of the past,
Not Cato-like TO bleed.
Or, when detection would appal.
As Cicero to fiy and fall,
And CEASE for Rome TO plead;
But with soul above despair,
Unshak''n by the gloom or glare
Or fortunes hour, or fale's decree,
To live Il Scion of the free.
Aloof he stands, in all the pride,
OF wisdom to the state allied,
When manhood's bow was bent
The of first freedoms brotherhood.
Who liv'd bat for his country's good,
TIL life 10 age was spent,
And shall he then be said TO fall,
Who gave his native land his ALL
As well proclaim Missouri dry,
Because not lifted mountain high.
SAGE Of the West his fame is bright.
And soars in an unborrow' d light,
To glory and renown-
And flushing thoughts electric spark,
Through ages rightly rul'd or dark,
Shall go remotely down

Serv'd, with his eountry's cause, mankind.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN CoTToy SPINNING We learn from the New fork Post that Francis McCully, an American by bifth' and from his infancy resident of the town ot Patterson in New Jersey, where he has been engaged in the construction of machinery, has recently made an important slmPllhcatlon in the process of spinning cot ton. He has invented ali improvement of the machine called Throstle, which. accor- ding to the opinion of competent judges, is likely 10 work a great revolution in the cot ton manufacturing business.
 The new process requires less than, half the power required by the ordinary machine. taxes less oil, dlspenses with the use ofbands. makes smaller amount of waste. enables one person to attend to a larger number of spndles, yet with all its economy in these several respects, produces more warn and of better quality. A small model of the in- ventlon, containing about l32 spindles. is now, and has been for several weeks in op- eration at the factory of Gen. Goodwin. in Patterson, where it's utility and success have been demonstrated 10 the satisfaction of all the practical men who have seen it at work. Mr McCully, the inventor, has aleadv se- cured patents for his machine in England. rance.
