VHiic dii ti'y HOpeS, now scar ana Ocd0,
Within thy bosom lie.
All, thus it is with lifc's short day,
From childhood's earliest hour:
The heart soon breaks in agony,
And wi,hers like flower.
The moon no sooner lights the sky
With boauty's kindling ray,
Till all our dreams of happiness die,
And pass from earth away.
The friends | priz'd the most betrayed,
While those who lov'd me best
Have long been in the church~yard laid
With clods upon their breast:
And not scene their presence cheer'd,
An hour they gave to me,
But seem by contrast more endear'd,
To mock thy misery.
The hopes chersh'd with delight,
Which youthful fancy rears,
To which gave my day, my night,
My brightest, my happiest years,
Are scauer'd like the leaves that fall
On Autumn's dying bed,
When Winter flipgs his icypall
Ger Natures withered head.
Oh, poor Crushed Heart how oft it seems
AS though thy pulse had fled,
And all thy lov'd romantic dreams
Were numbered with the dead
The happy, blithesome hours long past,
That never will return
Upon the present-shadows cast,
Like moonlight, on our urn.
Oh, that had not been--nor known
The beautiful and fair
That from this glorious world have flown
And left me to despair!
Oh that the lov'd, who still remain,
Had been as they--so pure
Then this poor heart could not complain,
Nor deaths dark presence WOO.
The mornings past--the noon hath come
The evening shades the sky:
Pm tending to the lonely tomb
Where all our sorrows die;
My wing is broken--spirit crush'd!
Poor heart, thou'rt torn and riv'n!
But all my woes will soon be hush'd,
In yonder calm, bright Heaven.

FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO, +
DAVID TOD, Of TrumbuU.
THE NEW ASSOCIATE JUDGES.

From the Statesman of the 3rd inst, we learn
that JOHN DAvENPoRT, Sen., of Centre town
ship, and THOMAS WESTON, of Salem, have
been elected, by the Legislature, as Associate
Judges for this county. We shall say nothing ip
relation to these appointments further than this
Both the gentlemen are thorough-going wings, and
are pretty well known Throughout the county.
This selection will, undoubtedly, give offence
to the wings of Sunsbury township. That being
the only whg township in this county, as matter
of right, ought to have had one of the Judges, and
especially, when it is considered, that that town
ship has number OF citizens who could fill the
office of Associate Judge with honor to themselves.
For long time the citizens of Sunsbury have
complained that the offices Of this county have
been filed by citizens Of Centre and other TO 1n-
ships, to the exclusion of sunsbury; and they flat
tered themselves, that in the selection Of Judges,
one, at least, would be given to Sunsbury. In this
they have been disappointed. How this state Of
things was brought about, the whig central com
mittee of this county can, probably, tell.
We may have something further to say, hereaf-
ter, on this subject.

the Spanish whites are anxious to OBJ

Mr. Hogan says in his report, that

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DlSAS'
TERI r,.

GnEATLoss OF LlFE.-From the offi-
GERS of the Diamond, arrived yesterday,
we learn that. on the night of the 18th
instant, the steamboat Belle Zane,
Capt. Brazier, while on her way from
Zanesville, Ohio, to this city, struck a
snag about 70 miles below the mouth
Of White river, on the Mississippi, and
Immediately turned bottom up. 1t was
about 70 O'Clock when the accident oc-
CURED, and the night was bitter cold.
Out of some 80 souls on board at the
time, upwards of SO perished by this
terrible accident some of the unfortu-
nate victims only escaping being drown
ed to freeze to death after reaching the
shore. At the time Of the disaster, OF
course, the passengers were all asleep
in their berths. and so suddenly did the
boat careen and go over that such as
made out to release themselves were
only able to snatch a blanket or coun-
terpane from their beds; they. had no
time to save, much less put on their
clothing. " A."5 si9.'
The Diamond came along short
time after the accident, and discovered
the wreck of the Belle Zane bottom up.
The officers of the former boat picked
up sixteen of the passengers Of the lat
ter at two different points on the Ar
kansas side. The unfortunates, after
suffering incredibly from the cold, were
finally landed at Napoleon, where the
balance of those saved on the Arkan-
sas side had previously assembled. 1t
seems that, Immediately after the ac-
cident, the cabin separated from the
hull, on which those who were saved
floated. The names Of those lost could
not be ascertained further than that Of
Mr.. Bowen, lady, and child, Of Zanes-
vile. There were five ladies on board,
all Of whom were fortunately saved,
except Mrs. B. 'a"" 'o' " ''''1'.'s''
The cargo of the Belle Zane consist
ed Of $50 barrels of -four, the property
of Mr.. Bowen; 900 empty barrels
marked c. B. & Co.; 800 sacks Of
corn shipped by D. Watson, Of New
Madrid; 226 sacks oats, 43 barrels
beans. and SIS barrels potatoes, consign-
ed to Followers, Johnson, & Go. The
United States mail from Louisville.
Memphis, and mouth ofthe Ohio river,
was also on board, and all, together
with the boat and Extures, wasa total
loss. .,,.l,!. XXI
Several of the unfortunate passen.
gers came down on the Diamond TO q
point above, and six others came as far
| as this city. The names Of the latter
are John p. Nesle, Of Albany, N. T.,

place ten millions ol money at his dis
posal? No. He communicated ths
facts to Congress ia regard to cur for
eign relations, and the progress ofth
negotiation, and then Congress pro
ceeded, as was its duty, to Judge wha
Legislation should follow on that dis
closed state Of facts. What did the
President do in the present case? He
follows similar course to that which
has heretofo 'e been pursued; and now
it is our business to assume the respon-
sibility of judging, together with the
President, of what the emergency re.
quires in regard to our national defence.
Nothing can be more INNOCENT, nothing
more judioious, nothing more necessa-
ry, than the resolutions which have
been submitted by the Senator from
Michigan. had supposed, especially
after the able exposition of the mover,
showing the necessity Of their passage,
that they would have passed with the
unanimous concurrence of this body.
And now will conclude with the
expression of my sincere qualification
at hearing one, and the most proml-
nent, perhaps, of all the observations
that dropped from the distinguished
Senator from North Carolina. He told
us that should war ever come, there
was spirit in the country able to
make it powerful enough to cope, not
only with Great Britain, but with the
whole European world in arms. He
told us that should any declaration OF
war be passed by Congress, from that
moment an anti-war man would not
be found on the continent.
Mr.. MANeUM. only spoke for my
self and my constituents.
Nix. ALLEN. | only hope that the
expression may be universal IN its ap-
plication; and that in case declara-
ton of war should be made, the aspi-
rations of the Senator may be fulfilled
to the utmost extent, unlike the case
pre- sented after the last declaration OF
war. And, indeed, ] am encouraged
to believe that the experience OF after
years, perhaps the improved condition
of the patriotism of the country-be-
cause the people here have been enj joy-
ing the benign influence which time
and Justice never fail to impress upon
all human afi'airs-I say, hope that
such a state of things may have been
brought about since our last declara-
ton Of war against Great Britain, that
mo such melancholy spectacle could
Aow be presented Of any division OF
public sentiment. | trust these resoln-
tons will pass, and go to the commit
tee; and that the only subject of dis
cussion on this floor will be as to the
mode Of preparation, and the kind OF
preparation; and that it may be reserv-
Ell for that time when distinct and spe-
cific recommendations will come from
the committee.
