Requiem requiem Pray for him now
The soul must rise and the head must bow
And the gushing tear from the bursting heart
Proves that dearest friends must part.
IT'S the peal Of music! Solemn sound,
That echoes all the temple round
And the eye fills up,
And the holy cup
Bears the blood of the appeasing God.

City Lyrics.

HYMN
ITO be Sung before Descending Trinity Grareyard,
by an Extension Of Pine STREET.
Away with their dust,
They've slept here too long;
Remove them we must,
For our intarest is strong,
And cart off the SOULS
Ola crumbling throng.
IT'S best that midnight
Our work should begin,
For in the broad day light
'Twould look like sin;
Our hearts are all hardened
Whom gain is let in.
Aye tear up the toombstones,
And scatter the mould;
Let a new place the bones
Of our fathers enfold,
And the ground that is holy
Be bartered for gold.
1t is noble-'tis brave
To disturb their last rest,
And tear from the grave,
In their windng-sheets drest,
The forms of the honest
The sainted-the blest.
Uproot the tall trees
That shadow the Sod
No more in the breeze
Let green willows nod
The stern voice Of Mammon's
The voice of our God
"Touch not the dead
Let them quietly sleep,"s
The heather hath said,
For sacred's their keep;
And Christians
Making savages weep.
."Touch not the bones Of our fathers or the Grea
Spirits wrath will visit you"

TIE HARMONIOUS DEMOCRACY.
We have set teiore our readers, in ano-
lhcr part Of to-day's paper, some Of the
evidences OF harmony which the Tod pa
pprs are continually Loasting Of, and upon
which they res their hopes OF certain vic
tory in the campaign just opened, 1t has
long been urged by the Wing party that.
The object OF Ihe leaders in the Locofoco
ranks, while opposing the measures OF
Wing Legislatures, in their efforts to rs-
lallish Il safe, practicable banking system,
was to destroy every species OF banks,
and drive from circulation every species
Of paper currency. Numbers who acted
with these deslruclives, and who looked
upon such meaxures-as ruinousto the pub
lie interests, Indignantly spurned the
charge as slanderous, and only made for
political effect, and intended and caculat-
ed to render the party unpopular and cd
ions. The nomination OF David Tod, and
the adoption OF his sentiments in relation to
the currency, as expressed in bis letter to
the Convention OF the Glh Of January, has
confirmed all that was lorctold by the
Wing party. The leaders, and host OF
the small Try, who, in their respective d.
visions affect leadership, set themselves
industrlousy TO work to convince the rank
and file that, these hard money anti-Ldnk
measures, have always been advocated
by The Democratic party. That although
they are the party otprogress, in this mat
ter they have been consistent, aud stand
where they always stood. And to prove
this, they introduce garbled aud forged ex-
tracts iom the Messages of Washington,
jefferson, and Madison. Mutated sem
fences from the speeches and letters Of
others, whom they declare to have been, in
their day and generation, burning and
shining lights to the Democracy. And, if
we were 10 believe the accounts given in
the columns oil the Statesman, Press, The
Union, The Patriot, and Democrat, their
success in promuIgaliGg these stories has
surpassed all expectation. But, oCcasion-
ally, the voice OF village or township
meeting, the thunder tones OF an untram-
melled press, contradict their shallow and
presumptuous arguments, hurl back with
indignation the insult thus impudenlly OF
Iered to their intelligence, and declare that,
neither precedent, reason, patriotism nor
philanthropy, sanction or approve their
modern theory. That no party bonds can
hold them 10 their support. But, on the
contrary, having in days gene by, repudiat-
ed the doctrines Of hard money and low
wages, believing them inseparable, they
now repudiate The faction, caba, or party
, that attempts 10 force them upon the peo-
pie.
And if these are the only indications oI
the appreciation with which the hard cam
didate and the hard issue are met If these
are the FIRST fruits Of the labors of the de-

WHEREAS, David Tod, in a letter ad-
dressed to our State Convention OF the 8Ih
inst, expressed his concurrence in the
anhilaIiOn OF all Banks. the utstituting
in their stead an exclusive Metallic cur
rency; and entertaining those views, re-
ceived, through fraud, the Nomination for
Governor, TO be supported at the next

ton OF MoOrClield township, are unwil-

with the issue contained in Mr.. TOd's let
ter, and will not support him.
Resolped That we are in favor Of giving
10 the present Bank law, a fair and impair
tia trial, with small amendment-believ-
ing that it is the best interest of the peo-
pie of Ohio, TO have a sound system Of
Banking under their own control.
Resoired, That we recommend to our
Democratic brethren throughout the State,
to proceed in a similar manner, and eX-
press their views on the nomination Of
the 8th, and the currency question.

to resign, and that new Convention be

MIR. FORBES AND A VOTER.

Mr.. EDITOR:
The Gtademical gentleman who
holds "B,S Jcmmy Forbes" pen. per-
ceve, is again before the public. His spir-
lied communication in the Free Press of
the Goth inst. abounds with evidences Of
his peculiar fitness for that sacred calling
to which, | understand, his aspirations
would lead him! Nevertheless, | submit
for the consideration Of that learned gem
tleman, dependant as he may be upon his
putron for his bread, whether il might not
be more profitable to him, to study his Ii
bic, than to burn his literary incense un-
der the nose of such confessed jackass
as "James Forbes, Sen.!"
Mr.. F.'s perman makes remarkably
free use of such words and phrases as
"iool," "scrbbler," degrading employ
ment." "di:Iy business, et cctera. shalt
not attempt 10 enter the list with so ciassi.
cal scholar, in the use of chosle epi,heis.
In that line Of composition, mos cheer
fully yield to him the palm Of Excellence!
And he will pardon me, | am sure, ifl
decline TO discuss with him the subject of
"Whig deceacy." HIS friends recollection
Of The Jaiioi-JOr, last fall, will leach him
enough of "Whig decency."
Mr.. Forbes and his erudi;e champion
pass very adroitly over the affair OF the pei
ticoat in New Hagers!own. in l84Oi and
too, for the present, will let II pass WIN
this remark: When witnessed that dis
graceful scene, resolved that, it 1t were
