Two men from the interior, apearentl,

They irst eyed the machine, then the

and, finally, stopped down TO look beneatl,

Teachers of the west.

Twenty seven young ladies from the
New England States, passed up the Lake /,
on Thursday last, on board tho 'Jndiana,'
bounded for Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, to
engage as teachers. We understand they
were accompanied by Gov. SLADE, Of
Vermont, as far as Bufalo.--The enter
prise Of that noble woman, Miss Beecher;
by whom these ladies were educated, is
deserving of the highest commendation;
she is emphatically a benefactress Of her
race-May the choicest of Heavens bles.
sings attend these ladies who have left
their homes, for the benefit of others; and
may their sojourn and labors in the west
be crowned with the best possible sues
cess; and may future generations rise and
call thom blessed - Cleveland Times

Titles.

The Alexandria Gazette relates an an.
ecdote on "Titles in the United States, I"
which Mr.. Jefferson used to Tell in relation
to the bject, which is authentic, and too
9 cd to be lost. The anecdoie has been
repeated by one who has heard Mr.. JEFF
ferson mention it. In the conve ntiontion
for forming the Constitution of the United
States, i, was proposed that titles should
be given to the high officers of the Gov
ernment. and the proposition met with
favor. The discussion of the subject had
one on so for some time, when DR.. Frank
lin arose, aud with great apparant' gravi,
ty, remarked: "tha, as this matter seemed
to lie seriously entertained, and might be
carried he had TO suggest ONE TITLE which
would be new aod appropriate--it was a
title for the Vice President = aud il as,
Ills Most SuPERFLUoUS Highne.s'."
There was not much more said about Il.
ties after this.

From the Washington Union.
Truth and Poetry Combined.


We are proud of the honor of laying the
following beautiful verses, from the pen Of a
lady, before the readers of the 'Union.' They
are the noblest specimen Of poetry which we
have read for many year, and worthy Of be-
ing placed upon the same towering column on
which are inscribed the admirable and popu-
lar verses Of the late high minded Francis s.
Key, Esqr,, Of this city.
The spangled banner, long may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
They breathe the same patriotic spirit, and
are expressed in the same glowing eloquence
Of the muse. The highly respected and dis
tinguished friend in Pennsylvania who en-.
closes them to us, says that they were writ
ten for the Union at my request, for the pur-
pose of bringing home to the hearts of our
countrymen the principal points in dispute
between our government and the Mexicans,
and with the hope that the simple truth, when
told in song, will aid in promoting proper
state of public sentiment in regard 10 Wig
orous prosecution of the war. The song was
written by lady who is as much distinguish
ed for her christian piety as she Is for her
talents as writer. In days of old, the heart
of Pharaoh was hardened, and he would not
let the children of Israel 60. In modern
times, we have the same madness and hard
ness of heart. The Mexlcans will not let
the gallant sons of Texas enjoy that freedom
and independence to which they are entitled
The destiny of tyranny will be the same now
that it was in the olden time. There Is an
overruling Providence in those who do not
see it now, viii see it after little space OF
time,

1t NAV not be- Fobid it, God
Forbid it, all that patriots prize:
That land has tasted freemen blood;
Their dust within its bosom lies.
'Twere madness to resign the soil
On which onr conquering feet have trod;
Battling our way with glorious tol;--
1t may not be-forbid i, God!
Can we relnquish lands where row
The striped aud starry banners wave!
No, never! We engrave our vow
On every fallen brother grave.
They could not sleep the slaughtered brave
Who in their beds of glory rest
And feel the footstep Of the slave
Polute the soil above their breast.
Resign the field where RINGoLD fell?
The spot where gallant STEVENS lies!
Where COCHRAN felt his bosom swell
Triumphant in deaths agonies!
Where brave and virtuous hearts pour'd out
The life SO dear to hope and love,
Invoking with their dying shout
Our country-and our God above!
No! By our couhtry and our God,
We will not yield that dear bought sail
We still have hearts with generous blood,
And souls to dare the conquerer's toll.
On! To the rescued Hearts Of steel
On! To the rescue! Souls of fire.
Let kindred blood nfame our zeal
To conquer -triumph-or expire.
Huzza Press on where Taylor stands
Invincibe in con nluering might;
We must prevail where he commands,
And God sustans our sacred right
Ask Taylor to retrace his way,
And leave his conquest to the foe!
And this broad land, from sea to sea,
Shall echo his emphatic NO.!
No, never! this is holy ground,
Bought and baptised with patriot blood;
See! with her fetters half unbound,
She lifts her hands to freedoms God
By Freedoms God, she shall be free!
Huzza! brave hearts press boldly on;
Strike home, nor pause till victory
Shall put her olive garland on
Till o'er that land to utmost parts
Our Eagles sheltering wings are spread;
And Taylor throwned on freeman's hearts
Enjoys bis laurels in their shade.

Mr.. Calhoun made 10 day. .!on The Mex
ican war. one of the most u,asterly spec
ches ever delivered in the Seuaie on any
subject. At It's conclusion, Gen. Cass
could no, refrain from rising and express
sing his high admiration Of the effort, as
replete with lranscendeni ability. lie
took the POSITION that the ohjecis Of The .
war can only be completely aud certainly
gained, BY defensive policy. He.iraced
The progress fan offensive wal in Mexico,
with wonderful power, and a slaunch
Democrat, hitherto hot for conquest, said
10 me, he demonstrated thes absurdity of
such war. He proposed holding pos
session Of the line of the Rio Grande up
TO the Paso del Norle, ndlhence Westto
The Pacific, being the 32d parallel Of Iati-
lude. This line however, he would hold
subject 10 negotiation.
Mr.. Calhoun's speech will certainly
stagger the Administration in their pro-
posed vigorous aggressive war, whilst it
strongly supports their policy as Io,he
acquisition Of territory. II is neither tie
Whis policy Of withdrawing our troops
from Mexico, nor The Administration pol
icy Of conquests; whilst it proposes OBJ
tanning all wscan get by aggressive war,
at little cos, OF men and means.
Mr.. Calhoun's policy will be condem-
ued by both parties, but his argument is
too powerful to leave much strength TO
those who choose to oppose it. The hand
of conques, will be so eufeebled, that most
probahiy y The policy will be abandoned. If
persisted 'in, ii viii carry. the party up
holding il to certain ruin. This, is.the
general talk about, the CAPITOL; whilst
there is but one -opipiou as, to the signal
ability with which Mr.. Calhoun has en-
forced his views.
Al all events, this speech will produce
a pause,-a re examination of The whole
subject by both parties, and even that;may
result in incalcuablc good TO the country.
La the estimation Of all here. Mr.. Cal,
houn's speech will have an immense effect
on the public opinion of,he Union.
