.YesI 1Gme sDal haze poper to change all these
Time in It's onward flight will change
The raven plumage of thy hair,
And by power, resistless strange,
Will leave a snowy whiteness there'
! Those glossy curls upon thy brow
Time with unspairing hand will Gull,
And leave barrenness where now, So,
Thy waving locks hang thick and full. .o
The bounding current of thy blood,
Time by its magic power will chill,
And change il 10 sluggish food, '-r.
Replets with death and mortal i'll.
The crimson mantling on thy cheek
Times touch will give pallid hue
In vain shall thy proud spirit seek
That faded beauty 10 renew.
The liquid lustIs Of thine eye - 81
Will dimly shine in coming years,
And tins will from its lids supply
A channel for flood Of tears.
Time will more deep those furrows plough,
Where now thoughts waving lines we trace
And on thy smooth and polished brow
The marks Of care distinctly place.
The thrilling accents ofthy tongue,
Which now float sweetly on the air,
And all thy beauty fresh and young.
Times withering touch will soon impair.
Yes, time will change all eal,hly things,
The good, tho beautiful. the fair, -.
The Bible consolation brings
Then seek for solid comfort there.
For time shall never have the power
To change thy Saviouls deathess love,
Twill soothe thee in misfortunes hour,
A solace for thy woes twill prove.
Then turn thy wandering thoughts above
And seek the treasures God can give,
Believe in his unchanging love
And endless life from Him receive. A.

they should be put in false position
before the country, as the locofoco ma
jority would have carried it. It is pref
ty fair sample Of political jugglcry.
In reference to the difference of opin-
ION in the United States in regard to the
war, Mr.. Polk does not assume the ground
of the locoroco press at least we do not
think he means to, in the single line in
reference TO it. A mans best friends are
those who tell him Of his faults, and a
nations best friends are those citizens
who point out to it the errors oflts rulers
and the wrongs they commit. There
are no truer patriots in this country than
that portion OF the people who denounce
this war-nonc have been more ready
to fight it, even while they condemned
the authors Of it, and the impudence OF
locofocosm is beginning to grow ashamed
of the charges it had dared TO make
their attempt to fastcn the first shadow Of
''troason' on the wing party utterly
failed, and their partizan President, bitter
as he is, did net dare to repeat his "aid
and comfort" epithet.

ance," and esprit ofl,beralty and conccs-

did not appreciate it; but instead, fought
us on all sides, harasscd our trains and
cut off our supplies. Reverse positions.
An invading army in this country under
similar circumstances would be likely to
receive harsher treatment, and tmay be,
we would not consider foe rcry literal
who would propose to treat on condition
of getting half our territory.

And in conclusion, he makes this eX-

MIR GALLATiN on THE WAR.

We have received, this morning, from
the press of lareIt & We ford (says the N
y. Commercial Of Wednesday, pamphlet
ot thirty four pages, bearing the title $
Peace with Mexico. by Albert Galia'a.''
The venerable an,hor discusses the subject
of the war under various distinct heads. and
arrives at the conclusion following TO wit
That the annexation of TEXAS was all Of
iensive and unjust &C, TO Mexico.
That the Goycih,neI OF the United States
grossly erred in sending Minister TO Mex
leo. instead of Il Commissioner.
That Texas never hal any valid claim
TO the Rio del Norc as lis boundary.
That the United States ought not 10 make
conquest Of Mexico, or insist upon receiv'
ing from Mexico any other indcmliiicailon
than that due American c!t$\ !, by AleXi-
CO. before the war began.
That. as preliminary % peace; we Ought
TO evacuate the Mexican territory now III
our possession.
We copy the final passage OF Mr. Gal
la,in's pamphlet, on the war i'll which his
views are distinctly cnuncaed:
Not only collisions must he avoided, and
the rem ewa of another Illicit annexation
be prevented; but the two countries must
coolly console. their relative position; and
whatever portion of territory, not actually
settled by the Mexicans, and Of no real IL
,ility 10 them, they may be disposed 10 ccde.
must be acquired by heaty freely assem-
ted TO- and for reasonable compensation.
But this is not the time for the discussion Of
a proper final arrangement We must
wait till peace shall have been restored,
and angry feelings shall have subsidized
AT present the only object is peace, imme-
dialely peace, a Just peace, and no acqusi-
sition of territory, but that which may be
absolutely necessary for efIecting the great
object in view.
The most simple terms, those which only
provide for The adjustment Of the Texas
boundary aid for tie payment Of the ndem-
mites due 10 our citizens, and, in every other
respect restore things as they stood before
the beginning of hosiilllies, appear 10 me the
most eligible
For that purpose may be permitted 10
wish, that the discussion ofthe terms should
not be embarrassed by the introduction oil
any other matter There are other con-
celebrations, highly important. and not for
eign TO the great question of an extension
of territory; but which may, without any
Inconvenience or commitments be postnon-
ed, and should not be permitted to impede
the Immediate termination of this lamenta-
BILE war

WeW5parer EOatage,

We hope that the country press generally
will unite in urging upon Congress the re-
enactment of the law which authorized the
carrying Of newspapers in the mail free Of
postage within thirty miles of the place al
which they are printed. 1t was wise, and
salutary law, and should not have been
repealed The experience of the last year
has demonstrated that Notwithstanding the
reduction in the rates of letter postage, the
Post Office Department is abandantly able
10 sustain itself, and there is therefore no
occasion for the continuance of law which
operates uniusly upon both the reader and
publisher OF country newspapers. There is
certainly no justice in requiring newspaper
which is carried but ten, twenty or thirty
miles, to pay the same passage as one that
is brought here from Philadelphia New York
or Boston.

MoDE OF ESCAPE OF MpsIilpMAn ROGERS
The editors of the N. o. Delta have had
an interview with this gallant young officer
since his return to frat city from Mexico, and
have published brief account of his sut-
ferings and escape. The mode of this latter
was novel and romantic, as follows
"FinaIly Mr.. Rogers was released on
bonds, and, snalching a fayo able opportu.
nifty: escaped from the city in the disguise Of
on English workman on his way 10 the
manufactures near puebla. TO sustain his
character he procured from a friendly
Scotchman the usual certificate or passport,
and by the aid Of false whiskers, mustachies
and coarse garments, escaped observation
and detection. On his way 10 Puebla he
overlook some young ladies' with whom he
had become acquainted in the city ofMeXi-
co, and who, being accompanied by their
father, gave him great concern lest they
should expose and beray him But, with
the sagaciy and kinl-hcanedness of woman
in every land and in every age, they per-
ceived his condition and purpose, were eau
,leus not TO recognize him, and kept their
secret until they thought lie had time TO get
10 Puebla.'
