ROAD, HARBOR AND RIVER IMPROVE


There is document printed by the Senate in
January, 1S47 which does not appear to us as
yet 10 have attracted the degree OF attention which
il deserves for it is q document full oil most in
teresting facts. 1t is statement OF appropria
lions for the construction and repair Of roads, and
for the improvement, Of harbors and rivers in the
Uoiied States; showing as far as practicable, the
amount expended in each State"
The statement commences with the year 1906,
and enumerates all objects Of improvement Of
roads, harbors and rivers, and the appropriations
in their favor for each year, up to and including
1915, going unin,errupledy through every Ad.
minis,ration during the long period OF years-a
period remarkable for the supremacy Of Demo
cratic rule in the Legislative as we'll as Executive
Departments. There were occasional interrup
lions to the system, by Vetoes upon measures
which were considered not sufficiently national
in their scope, and on that account Objectionable
But the system prevailed, and received the sane
ton Of every President duling that long perioo
except President Harrison, who is well known tc
have been friendly 10 the system, but whose dealt
occurred within month after his Inauguration.
BY referring to this document ii appears thai
the whole amount expended on all these objects
during that period, not including expenses o
surveys, was S17,l99,223. Oflhis amount there
was expended

For the Union
Two good and sufficient why Mr.. Clay should
withdraw bis name from the approaching canvass, and
not allow Mis- imprudent and ardent friends in New York
to thrust him forward in any way which might interfere
with the nominee of the Philadelphia convention
Reason LIST. Because General Taylor in his letter to
r. Ingerso says, in speaking of Mr. Clay as candidate
for the presidency that he would Ow prefer seeing
him (Mr Clay in that office TO any individual IN the
Union-cerainly much more so at anytime to myself"
Reason I'd Because in General Taylors letter to y. +.
Baldwin and r. H. Gaaher of Richmond, Virginia, in
answering the query, Do you design TO withdraw if
Henry Clay any other (alludng, OF course, to
any other whig) shall be the candidate" he says:
81 do not design Withdraw my name if Mr.. Clay be
the nominee the Wing National Convention and in this
connexion beg permission remark that the statements
which have been positively made in some OF the north

and have foundation in oral or written remark OF
mine 1t has been my intention, at any moment, to
ct ange my position, withdraw my name from the

Gratitude to General Taylor who has always been a

ton, at any moment" of Withdrawing his name from
the canvass-s prefers seeing Henry Clay President to

The Irish r. lille.
BY JEssk Y. DOW

Ha give him a felon's chain,
And make him an exe's grave;
Auaint the blood in his glowing vein,
And hasten him DER the wave
He dared TO think, as mani
As a man of the iron truth
Then give TO him monarch's ban,
And widowed heart in youth.
The waves of the ocean drown
The hopes OF his early years;
lie has earned his holy crown,
His baptism OF tears
The heart OF the free is sore,
The eloquent tongue is mute,
And the seri returns TO his chains once more,
To herd with the happier brute
The Queen of the naughty isles
May feast in her ancient halls
And her chivalry look on with smiles
When the head OF freeman falls;
But think ye a righteous God
Will stand by the guilty throne,
Where the spirit is quenched in its mangled clod,
Aud the heart made harder than stonei
The land that shackes the mind,
And feasts on the bread of tears
That weeps alone for the negro kind.
The boadmen of countless years
Is glad, when her fettered son
Goes forth to his prison isle,
A guilty thing for the good to shun-
yoke-iellow for the vile.
They tremble, whose fathers fought,
On Cressys gloriou' field
The Saxon race who a shelter sought
Meath the bastard Norman's shield
They tremble, whose towers of yore,
Like the sea crags, laugh at time
And the race OF the Tudor quails before
A name it has stamp'd with crime.
A lay for the regal one.
A laurel for knighlhood's brow
pnan loud for the steadiast throne
That never knew fear till now
A dirge for the death of power,
A wall for the wreck of years;
For soon shall come the avengers hour,
And the recompense OF tear.
