But who would suppose that leading and influential

its necessity and then manufacturing political capital
out of it. Let their object be what it may, the peo-

most. The following is from the Boston Atlas:

For the State Sentinel.
Twilight Hour.

At twilight hour, love TO steal,
Unseen, unheaTd, where none are near,
To nurse the pensive pain feel,
And shed alone fond memOTy's tear.
AT that loved hour, sweet thoughts arise,
OF friends by absence made more dear,
Fond cherished hopes, long severed ties
And blighted feelings, cold and scar.
Then thought reverts TO other days,
Sweet tones are heard, loved forms appear,
And memory tells Of other days,
Breathed TO fond friendships Iist'ning ear.
To clasp the heart, in thought fy,
Which never codly met with mine,
Aud read the greeting Of that eye.
That ever said, my heart is thine.
Then give to me the twilight hour,
And let me love on fancy's wing,
III visit those who alone have power,
To soften memoIy's poignant sting. LII.

From Gen. Taylor's letter to the Native Americans,

"My willingness to yield to the wishes of the peo-
