g The Liberty party Of the state OF
New York have made their nominations
for State offices. Henry Bradley is the
candidate for Governor, and w. l.. Chaplin
the candidate for 1t. Governor. Among
the resolutions adopted by the Convention
at which these nominations were made. we
notice one in favor of free trade doctrines
and we suppose it may be understood tina;
the Liberty party in that State have fairly
taken free trade ground. But perhaps we
are mistaken. In The course of the discuss
son on the subject, one of the speakers,
Prof Green, remarked that as the Liberty
party assumed 10 be national party, as
such i; ought to have a national creed.
And he asserted that g the idea Of the abo'
lition Of Slavery was mere negation, and
no idea at all. An idea, strictly speaking,
has something positive in it.''

Mr.. MEEKER's Report on INTERNAL M
PRovEMENTs. This report, which will be
found in our abstract of the Convention pro-
ceedings, brief as it is. has Esdetable in
it, all of which we dissent from. We do
not think internal improvements should he
embarked in or encouraged by the State.
Ii is no part of the business of State, it
strikes US, any more than buying and sell
ing goods would be. 1t can certainly never
be embarked in proftably by State. as
the experience Of oil States has shown, and
for reasons which are obvious. To con-
struct internal Improvements is the BUSH
ness o. individuals; and like all other bu-
sness, it will find individuals enough to
embark in 1t, as soon as i: promises to be
profitable; and until it does promise to be
profitable, State should not be permitted
10 squander the substance of its citizens, in
works of doubtful utility. Again, we have
our doubts, if not of the right, at least Of
the propriety, Of State taxing any citizen
for works of this kind, without his ndivid-
ual consent The compac,s of government
are not formed for this purpose. They
are social compac;s for the protection OF
social rights, and when State goes TO
work, and in effect mortgages the properly
of individuals, who desire 10 have nothing
10 do with the works, to construct them, il
seems to US Ike travelling great way oul
Of the record, and Is productive of results
such as we have witnessed in everv State
of the Union, which has at any time en-
barked in works of internal Improvement
As we said above, internal improvements
in our opinion, of whatever character. il
no wise, 1or under any circums ances, be
long to the State, but TO individuals; ant
individuals will always be ready TO con
struct them, when it will pay for so doing

@ A man was to be, and probably has
been ere this, hung on board the American
vessel OF war, St. Mary, for the offence of
striking, on some slight provocation, the Of
fcer of the deck. Subordination is very
important thing, of course, in our navy; and
severe measures are sometimes necessary
to preserve it. But it seems 10 US that
hanging for an offence of the kind stated,
is going considerably farther than necessity
requires. Our navy and army regulations
would be quite as efficient, and certainly
more creditabe 10 our character as a civil
lied and Christian nation, if they had less
of barbarism, and more of humanity in
them.

OF Congress, pertaining to The Territory
North West ofthe Ohio; but failing 10 find
light here on the subject % Eminent Dr.
main, he will next most probably proceed to
consult Walker, Webster or some such
exponent of words. Here be will find that
Eminent means ''lofty," "uoble," &c.
1t will appear then tina. the committee is
to set on the "lofty" and ''noble" domains
or lands of the State. Well, perhaps that
is all we'll enough; but since the Con-
venIlon have a committee for the "lofty',
lands. would it not be we'll to have com
miltee on the loD and mean landslide
marshes, sloughs, quagmires, where bull.
frogs. snipes and amphiblous animals do
mostly congregate? 1t is true the low and
humble places are not so desirable as the
Eminent and lofty, yet they need looking
after.
A man however, who has obtained some
sma;terings of knowledge, no, laugh, in the
schools of the people, objects. and saws the
above is not correct exposition of the du
ties of the committee; he charges me with
ignorance or wiful preversion in the whole
matter. He goes on to illuminate the sub.
ject by saying, that in the reigns oc the vii.
liams, Henrys. Edwards, and divers other
sovereigns, certain words and names oh.
tanned use for particular purposes; and Of
these there have been many imponations
TO this side of the Atlantic; and tina: these
have been carefully prisoned among other
achives Of feudalism, to be used only on
great occasions. Well what of that: the
people did not elect their Delegates to the
Convention, to transact business in hero.
glyPhlcs, but in the common English Of the
country. What in the name of common
sense, has christian Wisconsin to do with
the barbarism Of the feudal ages?

THE BROKEN HEART.
ny KATE CLgvELANp.

Poor broken heart so crushed and helpless lying
knew thee in thy fresh and carly youth.
when all the sweet, young hopes now dead, or dy-
Spraug into life with beauty, trust and truth
How strong and vigorous then thy pulses heating,
What ardent, eager life lcaped through thy
Thea Love and Hope, two mighty currents meet
With glowing waves gave each a silent greeting
And rolled together through lifc's arid plains
Poor Broken Heart!
Truth, Trust ond Tenderness the faircst features
Stamped by Humanity upon thy face;
Strong love tor God and Gods uniathlul creaturcs
AN kindly feelings for thy fillen race
These marked thine carly years-young years Of
When thou vert spotless as the newborn light
Ere crossed thy threshold, gloom grief, or sad
ness,
o. woes that drove thee to tho verge of madness
Enshrouding thee in darkn,s thick night
Oh, Broken Heart!
Ali once what drcems of life stole gently DER thee
How didst thou qucnch thy thirst at each bright
stream,
Each we'll of Joy that opened up before thee
Its sparkling waters in lfe's morning beam:
Then angels came with peaceful mInistration---
ith softe:t solacc for each passing sigh;
Aud Gods sublime, and glorious, wide creation
Claimed all the incense of each sweet obation,
For lessons taught, which but with thee die
Poor Hopeless Heat.
How didst thou tremble when Love like river,
First overwhelmed thee in IFS waters deep;
On Lad the waves but calmly flowed forever,
shouIu not now tiny napicSs ShlpwrcCk weep;
But dark suspicious, doubts, like storms, assailcd
thee,
Then those who scorned, in piteoas tones bewailcd
thee,
And thou vert driven from thy peaceful shore,
When all of Hope, of Earth, of Heaven failed thee,
For they might mar thy rest nor beauty NOR C,
Poor Broken Heart!
How vert thou stricken when Deaths icy finger
Pressed down tho long fringcd lids sweet young
eyes,
Which seemed with fond and earnest looks to lin
ger
On those best loved beneath the bending skcs!
Didst thou not strive, with passionate carcsses.
TO hold these frail ones in their beauty here?
But they, with dcwy lips and golden tresses,
Returned to Earth, who now their slumber blcsses
With daylisht's rosy beam and evenings tear,
Oh, Broken Heart!
Poor stricken heart, now softly, family throhbing
NO hand can string anew thy broken chords,
No voice may still thy languid, feeble sCbbing,
Or sooth thy weary hours with gentle words!
Ills death in life palsy rests forever
On all thy hopes-thcy bowed beneath the spell,
As early blossoms which the north winds sever
Then give to joy, to strength, all cndcavor,
lasting, hopeless, long and wide farewell =
Poor Broken Heart
