'sGod said-''l,et there be lightp'
Grim darkness felt his might,
And fled away;
Then startled seas and mountains cold
Shone forth, all bright in blue and gold,
And cried-"'Tis day. IT'S day"
"Hail holy light" exclaimed
The Thund'rous cloud, that fam'd
Der daisies white;
And 10! the rose, In crimson dressed
Lean'd sweetly on the lilly's breast;
And blushing murmared-"Light!"'
Then was the sky-lark born;
Then rose the emba,tled corn;
Then floods Of praise.
Flowed Ger the sunny hills Of noon;
And then, in stillest night, the moon
Pour'd forth her pensive lays.
Lo, heavens bright brow Is glad!
Lo, trees and flowers ali clad
In glory, bloom!
And shall the mortal sons Of God
Be senseless as the trodden ciod,
And darker than the tombl
No, by the mind Of man.
BY the swsrt artisan!
BY God, our sire.
Our souls have holy light within,
And every form Of grief and sin
Shall see and feel Its fire.
BY earth, and hell, and heav'n,
The shroud Of souls Is riven.
Mind, mind alone.
IL light, and hope. and life, and power!
Earth's deepest night, from this best hour,
The night Of minds Is gone.
"The Pressrs all lands shall sing;
"Tbe Press, the Press we bring,
All lands to bless.
o, paIlid want! o, labor stark.
Behold, we bring the second ark.

Ohio far excels kentucky in manulactur-

their skill, industry, and good management.
Give Ohio all her present advantagesand as
many more if you please; but introduce
slave instead Of free.labor; say to her arti-
sans and mechanics, the only reward you
can, or shall receive from the products Of
your labor will be plain subsistence; and
at once all progress. all improvement ceases.

rapidly decline.
The profit Of labor is the natural stimu.
liant to industry and exertion-and the de-
NAL Of it in Kentucky, and the granting Of
it in Ohio, to the laborer, is the cause Of the
superiority Of the latter over the former-but

Only five little months have gone, and he, who well

for whose distinguished talents and craftsmanship he al
ways entertained high admiration.

My DEAR SIR Having understood that in early life
you had the pleasure OF intimate acquaintance with
General Cass, who, with yourself, had located in the

you whether at that day Lewis Cass espoused the federal
Such report is going the rounds of the whig

fidelity to the party whose standard bearer he is
