We are Growing Old.
BY FRANCES BROWN.

Ne are srO'cing old How the tho't vii! rise
 When a glance IS backward cast, On some long remembered spot that lies
 In the silence of the Past It may be the shrine of onr eariv vows,
 Or the tomb of nur early tears; But it seems like far-off Isle L. us,
 In the stormy sea of yeats. Oh. wide and wltiare the waves that part
 Our steps from its greenneSs now, And we miss the joy ofmanv heart,
 And the light of mary brow; For deep OCT many a stately bark. :. Have the wheiming hiliow rolled, That steer'd with us from that early mark,-
 Oh, friends, we are growing old old in the dimncss and the dust
 Of our daily loils and cares; old in the wrrcks of love and trust,
 Which our bu,acnct memory bears. Each tn,m may wear, 10 the passing gaze,
 The bloom ot lite's freshness yet, And baam. may brighten our latter days,
 Which the morning never met, But Oh. the changes we have seen
 In the far and winding way The graves in on, path tn at have grown green,
 Aud the locks that have grown gray! The winter sli un uur own may spare
 The sable oi the gold; But We see ,hr snows upon brighter hair
 And. friends, We ate growing old. We have gained the worlds cotd wisdom now ', , Wehave learned {" pause aud fear; But where are the living founis whesc flow y
 Was joy of hlIea'o hear We have won the wealth many cline,
 And the lore of .nany page; But where is the Hope that saw in t.me,
 But it's boundess heritage? Will it ccme gain when the violet wakes,
 And the woods their youth renew We lave stcnd in inc light ct su9ny brakes, Where the bloom was deep and blue; And our souls might joy in the spring lime then' But the joy Was faint and cold, Fer il he'er could give us the youth again O. hearts that are er0,ring old.

A MEXICAN WEDDING.

On the l2fh of July last, we attended mass with some offers, and returning from the chapnI, we fell in with two sur- geoas of the Mexican army. who were well educated men, one ot them speak ing Preach tolerably well. Having in> vited them to dine with us, they made themselves very agreeable. and told us that .ampudia was terrifying Monterey, and thai we would no doubt have deci- s,ve battle there. After Linner they in- vitt d usto an entertainment, which they said was to take place that evening Be- fore which, however, we went 10 witness a marriage between young Mexican or ficer and very pretty Mexican girl. The parties. il appears, had been engaged for two years. and ibe young off cer durin z the late battles, had hIs leg shot off not wi,hstantiing. the girl was true ani con s,ani. and determined to have him.

A Query!


IIas the ofiice.holdors Of this town and other
places assert, the Constitution Of Ohio is broken
up and destroyed and the people are in State Of
nature without government and without law, by
what authority do these county officers retain
their present stationsl By what authority do they
act as Treasurer, Auditor, Sheriff SC. receiving
salaries thcreiurei by what authority do they
hold Boards Of Equalization" By what authori
ty do they receive aud pay out money!
The division OF our Stute into Counties, as nj
present, receives its force from the Constitution
II this is destroyed, we no longer have counties
aud no man Or set of nen have u right 10 act ut
officers OF n county.
Cone, come, Messrs Sheriff, Auditor &c show
your faith by your works You tell the people
that they arc in state Of nature. without Consti
tuition and without law--they won't believe you
uuess you at once give up your lucrative station'
aud convince them that you are in earnest
But again. By what authority did you hole
your last township eleCtionsi By what authority
did the Clerk of tho Court receive the returns
You all voted, we believe upon that day-why
did YOU do so when we Ind no Constitution, nc
laws, under which elections could be regulated ol
votes countedl
Again we say, you Ore in earnest show YOU
faith by your works. Tell the people that yor
can no longer serve, as there is no government tc
serve under. If you don't do this, the people
won't believe any OF your assertions.

Ia period Of near scVen months.
We slInll use our utmost exertions to mike the
Gazette valuable auxiliary to the great Wing
cause, while AT the same time, its miscellaneous
and newS department will not be neglected.
As our patronage increases, so shall our ell

The CLAY Meeting.

At Cincinnati, was numerously attended and
very enthusiastic. The principle speaker was
Hon. BELLAMY SToRyR. Like all his addresses
the one upon this occasion was an eloquent and
able one. He took strong ground against the OK.
tension Of slavery and expressed his determine
ton to support no man for President, who would
not oppose the introduction of Slavery into any
new territory OF the Union He felt that every
voter in the free States called upon to express
his honest convictions upon this momentous sub
cct and no longer conceal his opposition to the
extension of slavery from party discipline. He
confidently hoped thnt Mr.. Clay would take this
ground, whether he was the nominee of the con-
vention or not He believed he would.
With the peculiar institutions OF the South and
Southwest as now existing lie would not and
could not interfere. They were the result otcom-
pact. But the extension of these institutions be.
yond the borders of those States was totally dif.
ferent question. Upon this question, it behooved
every voter to take issue and this could only be
taken by the vote for President. That mar
ouOuiu uOuc w NptOu WIN "uo 'hS
representative but the embodiment OF freedom
The speaker deprecated any expression ofun
kind feeling towards either Of the eminent mel
named in connection with the Presidency. The
friends Of each had perfect right to express tle
choice; aud it always has been cardinal princi
pie of the Wing organization, that the largest Ii
ceuce was permitted to individual preference.
He concluded by paying beautiful aud jus
tribute to Kentuckans, who never fallered in thei
attachment to Ohio; but have stood by her at tn
battle fields of St Clair and Wayne and Dudley
"The ruins of Fort Stephenson and Meigs," SAT-
the speuker "may still be turaced, on the Sandus
ky and Maumee, aud near to our northern borde
still roll the dark waters ofthe Raisin."

The Court OF Inquiry nj Mexico.

The New Orleans papers contain eight
or ten columns of closely printed matter,
of tho proceeding of the Court ofInquiry
now sitting in Mexico, for the trial of Off
GERS.
1t is ofcourse too volumniousto publish,
and even five had the space, we do not
think the documents, of which it is main,
ly composed, are of sufficient interest to-
give them place in our columns.
Gen. SCoTT, for reasons set forth, for
malIy withdrew the charges preferred a.
gainst 1t. Col. DUNCAN and Mai. Gen.
Pillow. Gen. P, however, desired that
his case, when Gen. Scott submitted the
charges aud specifications, should pro,
ceed.
Gen. Pillow announced Lit. Col. Dun
can and Maj Breckenridge, as having
been engaged to assist him ip conducting
his case.
On the fifth day, 2lst ult., the examina-
ton of witnesses commenced and Mr..
FREANER, "the Mustang of the New
Orleans Delta, was put on the stand.
His evidence related altogether to tho
publication of articles, furnished or as
sented to by Gen. Pillow. Nothing I'M
portant was elected up to tho time of the
adjournment ofthe Court.

From Vera CrUZ--PrObabIe With
drNWal Of Troops.

We yesterday received by our over
land express, a copy of the New Or
leans Picayune of the 31st ult.
By the steamship Globe, Capt Wright
dates from Vera Cruz to the 25th ult.,
have been received. A correspondent
of the Picayune says:
"At headquarters in Mexico, the uni.
versal opinion prevailed that peace was
decided upon, and from several commu-
nications which l have seen, from the
best authority, preparations we're actual
ly being made for the withdrawal of the
army from the country, or at least the
city Of Mexico, on the 7,h of May. And
how in heavens name can it be? The
fact of Gen. Butler stopping supplies.
save such as will be necessary for the ar
my on their road down, is strange in
deed"

Tho Prosnect for Peaoe.

Mr.. Freaner, the correspondent of the
New Orleans "Deta" and late bearer of
the Treaty from the Headquarters of our
Army TO this Government, writes from
the city of Mexico as follows,
March l7.-There are fifty members of
Congress at present at Queretaro; there
are fifteen at this place, who will leave
on Monday for the seat of Government;
there has been an order issued by the
Mexican Government for. holding the e.
lectons in theStates from which no dele
gates have been elected. / hear not a
doubt expressed among the Mexicans in
reference to the ratification of the treaty.
have heard several Of the PurO party
say that they would vote for the ratiica-
tion and ifpossible put an end to the war.
am ofupinion that the vote in favorof
ratifying the treaty will be very strong
one. If the treaty should come back
from the United States amended there
will probably be good dea! of detate
and delay.

The Wooster Rnnk.

A correspondent Of the Ohio Repository, Can
ton, Ohio, thus hits off the failure OF the WooS-
ter Bank. We rather guess that all the political
capital tho LocofocOs can make by bursting up
one of their pet banks will not give them much
encouragement.
The last Bank Pet of Locofocoism it
seems has gone by THE BOARD. 1t was
first chartered by d. A, Stark weather,
Il Co. and renewed by Lahm, & Co.
by the Instructions of H. Stidger, Stark
weather. ]. D. Brown, and Lynch. 1t
was hoped that the party would have
had strong affection for the child of its
old age, and that they would have nour.
ished and cherished It. But it seems that
our hopes were vain. Perhaps, howev-
er, it is but suspension, to be renewed
in 90 days which their charter Allows
Perhaps it has suspended with $120,0 900
of specie in its vaults, to aid the absquat-
ulate revolutionists in disorganizing the
State-who .knowsl We know that
Wellhouse, its President, when in the
State Senate, voted for and secured the
election of Sam Medary as State Printer.
We know that Joseph S. Lake, its New
York agent, is a Locofoco. Another
thing we know. that the new tangled pro-
ject of Individual Liability attaches to
it-and as there are many very wealthy
Stockholders, the Liability Clause will
be fully tested"

NOrwalk and Samdusky Bnmks.

Reports uniavorabe to the standing of these
Banks were in circulation in this town during the
early part of the week; but it is now understood
that there was no foundation for the reports The
Banks at Columbus, Zanesville and Cincinnati,
receive their paper as usual. Both of these were
old Bunks, and as n measure of safety, other
Banks when they heard of the rumors, threw out
their paper until the truth could be ascertained.
From this occurrence md the suspension of
the Wooster Bank, we have an opportunity of
experiencing the benefits Of our present system.
Had the Wooster Bank been one of tho branch
es Of the State Bank or an Independent Bank,
our Bank here would hive continued to receive
its paper upon deposite, knowing that the funds
would be reudy in Columbus, to redeem the notes.
The bill.holder, consequently, would suffer no
loss and the notes would remain at par.
At tho time of writing this article. our bust
ness men are receiving the notes of the NorwalS
and Snndusky Bunks-should we receive any
further and different intelligence before going to
press, we will advise our readers of it.

Hamilton County.

The Eagle finds consolation in little article
from the Cincinnati Enquirer, in which it is sta
ted that the Locofocos of Hamilton County have
no sympathy with the Wings and are willing to
join in crusade against them so soon as satisfied
of its "practicabihty," "Emeanng thereby that the
arguments in the address of the Jacobins of this
place have notyet satisfied them OF the practical
6iLty OF the measures proposed
The Eagle adds:-
"If after this, whiggery can draw any
comfort from the inactivity of old Hamil.
ton, they are welcome to all its soothing
influences"
For little further consolation to our neigh.
bors we will add that DIR. 0ds went to Hamilton
County to mako speech and finding nobody but
two or three at tho appointed place and time, he
didn't make it. Neighbors, has this occurrence
any SOOTHING influence" for youi Ifs you are
welcome to it. All these things go to show that
theCounty which has beeu ''unconstitutionally di.
vided" has as little sympathy" for u Revolution
as for Wing measures.

TI1e old world.

Since our former issue. we have received in
tellgence from Europe by the Steamships Wash.
ington and Hibeuiia. The news brought by the
former differs hut little from what we publish to-
day, whicl, is the latest intelligence received.
From this we CLEAN some important facts. 1t
would seem that all Europe is in blaze and that
liberal principles ure marching onward with rap
id strides. ireland, Germany, Prussia, Poland
and even Austria and Russia ARE beginning to
waver in their attachment, to kings and emperors.
Aud what will the end of these things bel
will the people maintain their present posi-
tionl Will they still make efforts to advanced
will they be able tn defend themselves against
the combined powers and their hired soldieryl
Or will they be compelled to bow aguin TO- ty,

we have our fears so leng tSoajen down be-

There is nothing of interest but the
