JEFFERSON, TAYLOR AND
CASS.

To those who would fain gather consoa-
ton from the often repeated fact, that Gen.
Cass received his first appointment to office
from MIR. Jefferson, we commend the atten-
tive perusal of the following remarks of the
Hon, MIR. Tompkins, representative in
Congress from Mississippi, made at Wing
meeting, few days since. He said
at is a matter of boast with the friends
of Cass, and fact he procaims every time
he speaks or writes of late, that he was first
appointed to office by Mr.. Jefferson, the
great Apostle of Democracy Well, in that
he has no great advantage over General Tay-
ly: he, too, was appointed to Office about
the same time, by the same apostle of De-
mocracy.
In these appointments" continued the
orator, "we have Mr.. Jefferson's opinion OF
the two men. Taylor he appointed to an
office in the United States Army; Cass to

THE NORsEMAN's PIDE.

BY J. BAYARD TAYLOR.
Tho frosty fires Of Northern starlight
Cleaned on the glitterins snow,
And through the forests frozen branches
Tho shteking winds did blow;
A floor of blue aud icy marble
Kept oceans pulses still,
When in tho dcuE tn of dreary midnight,
Opened the burial hill.
J hen while low aud creeping shuddor
Thrilled upward through the ground,
The Norseman came, as armed for battle,
In silence from its mound
IL, who was mourned in so'omn sorrow,
BY many swordsman bold,
And baips that walled along the ocean,
Struck by the skalds Of old
Sudden, a swim and sivery shadow
Camo up from out the gloom

Stamped, noiseloss, by the tcmh.

+" No misty breathing strains thy nos,ril,

Yet, mounting up our airy pathway,

The sparkling need is pourcd'
