PARODY ON HoHENLINDEN.
In rum-dsns when the sot lay low,
Relentless ragged his ravening foe,
And dark as Hades was the woe
taEd9ga Ofweepers weeping bitterly.
But rum-dens saw another sight, t
( When truth awoke from deepest night,
Commanding fires OF life TO light -
The darkness of deaths revelry.
ga BY law and mercy fast arrayed,
y Truths warrior drew his battle blade,
And swiftly every blow was laid
10 slay the deadly enemy.
Then shook the foe in terror driven,
Then rose the fallen by pledges given,
And quenched, as by the floods Of heaven,
Soon cooled The hot distllery.
And colder yet, though smouldering slow,
Shall be those fires of death and woe,
a And rarer yet shall be the flow
8e OF tears rung out in bitterness
IT'S war-but scarce truths rising sun,
r8a His conguering race begins to run,
ra When poison-venders, near undone,
Eg3s, Shout from their flaming battery.
! The conflict deepens On We brave, .3
Who, rescued from the spelling knaye,
Pluck men from infamy and The grave,
3sh, With holy inrepidity. .isa NJ 1'
Soon none shall fall where many meet;
Their home shall be their blest retreat,
Nor one green turf beneath their feet,
tasa Shall be drunkard's sepulchere.

MEDICATION OF THE TARIFF. The Bangor
Democrat IN mentioning certain obstacles in
the way of repeating the Tariff, states that
Louisiana and Vermont object to giving up
protection to their sugar; Kentucky wants her
hemp and bagging taken care of Pennsylva-
MIA is wide awake for her iron and coal; New
York is looking after her salt; Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut their cotton and
woollen manufactures; other states their wool
and hides; the West wants the salt tax and
fishing bounties to fall, which is opposed by
New York and the Eastern States. Every sec
ton of the country, and almost every State OF
the Union have more or less at stake, and each
will defend its own interest,""
