and the other is thai he is deeply involved in the foul

with it, Such is the man elected and such the grounds
Of his election.
Under these circumstances, it behooves all the true
friends of civil freedom be the alert-to perfect
their organization and to stand together shoulder TO

~ The Egis and True Wing of yesterday,
contain foul and calumnious attack on Judge
Allen, intended to defeat his election as mem.
Der of Congress, and to destroy his influence in
the community. For some time past, threaten
ings have been given out, that revelations were
to be made, which would destroy his reputation
and now, when they deemed it too late to allow its
effect in the district to be counteracted, the con-
sPirators have come out in an article, evidently
prepared with care, and calculated as they believ-
ed to accomplish their Gendsh object In this they
will most signally fail. Every material alega-
ton in the article, calculated to affect Judge AL
len untavorably, is not only destitute of the sem.
blance of truth, but is an entire coinage of the
brains OF the conspiratOrs, without connection
with any fact, near or remote, which could give
rise to such accusations. If the conspiracy does
not overwhelm its actors in the ruin which they
intended for Judge Allen, it will be because they
cannot all be identified, or because they have not
enough of character left, to be injured or helped,
by any thing they can say or do.
Ia connection with this conspiracy, soud call the
attention OF the public to a striking and significant fact
The Tf1e Wing bears the name its publisher, Of s.
" r. Hlckox one oil the publishers OF the Atgs. The
editOrshp has always been anonymous ye, the foul and
dsgacefu character Of the sheet has made its conduct

presumed to be men Of pecuniary responsibility

this foul libel simultaneously with the public there's

Wing will be- for the coming soeek, under die editorial
charge Of the editor Of the Egis la conformity there
with the article appears the editorial leader in both
papers, and that responsibility for IL is concentrated in
the persons viz the publisher Of the True Wing
and his copartner the editor Of the Egs Who well
known, is the son Of Con Lincoln.

ject at this time. viii however, be promptly noticed,
and in such manner, as, we doubt NOT, will overwbelm
with shame and confusion, those who have dared thss

poses. ~

Gas FROM WATER.-Sr Humphrey Davy

An apparatus has been patented in England, by
stephen White, Tor making gas from " alter and
common rOsin or tar. The London Miners Jour
nal in describing it says that the gas is extremely
pure, and in burning emits no smoke or smell
The apparatus is cheap, and the gas cheaper than
that from coal. The following is description OF
the method -
"Ihe apparatus consists of three retorts placed
IN stove, two OF which are filled with charcoal
and thin pieces iron, and the other with iron
chains hanging from centre bar The two first
retorts are for the decomposition OF water, which

tort, to receive its dose of bi-carburet of HYDRO

melted rosin, or similar substance passing or
dropping on the red hot chain, from syphon
tube, which regulates its supply This causes
the tar, or melted rosin, to throw off an abundance
OF bi-carburet of hydrogen gas The gases
being mixed in this manner are immediately con-
veyed into the gasometer for use, without anv

JOSEPH WIN. JACKSON.
We spring at the dawn, when nature is bland
Ye spring from the grass Of the tomb;
We rise from the earth, for death and his band
Ye rise in etenity's bloom.
We speak Of His power, in nature divine:
Yespeak Of his image so fair;
We bloom as an emblem, OF wisdom sublime;
Ye speak OF his goodness in prayer.
We come with the spring-with autumn we fly.
To rest in the home Of our birth;
Ye stoop to the tomb, and mount 10 the sky,
For God he will call you from earth.
We drop 10 the grave-to rise from its sod,
And glow in the beauty Of flowers;
Ye pass through the tomb, at the call of your God
To dwell with angels and powers.
He culls you to bless, where s,rrow has fed,
From heavenly climes in the sky;
We drop TO the earth-forever be dead,
Meier mourned by brotherly sigh.
Go, then, in thy might-and bow at his feet,
Thou image of infinite power;
Aud we of the earth in beauty will meet,
With songs thro' the day till nights silent hour.
Come nature in silence and mortals in song,
Let earth with the symphony ring;
And Join in the music-when earth shall be gone,
Throughout an eternity sing.
