THE PROSPECT OF THE FUTURE!

In taking retrospective view Of past and
viewing the many changes that have taken
place in the course of time and the many ac.
complshments that have been wrought by the
energies of the human mind, and the many ma
tlons that rose almost to perfection and shone
as brilliant stars in there age; but ere they OBJ
tanned there maredian hight they fell; but at
there fall, others would rise and shine bright
for time, but despotism being rooted within
there soil they also fell. Thus it continued
throughout the dark and iron ages of the world
until time in its speedy course brought to our
view more enlightened period that is the
present enlightened age of the world The
Nineteenth century, an age which stands un
, reveled in the history oftime. The prospect
of the future is great. For years past i'm
provement has followed the advance of time,
hour after hour wheels nightly into the past i,
it presents many things to be improved upon
in the future Liberty and Republic
burns in every breast. A flood of literature
has spreed throughout the world, d,--poets and
orators are continually sending forth their
poetic themes and sublime effusons to re-
count the praise of heroes, and transmit the
blood stained soldiers glory to postery. The
honor which they receive by the present age
will stimulate future heroes to improve upon
their example. France groaned under the
yoke of bondage, and her inhabitants as if by
a general count, rose up TO vudicate their
natural freedom, and almost all asserted that
independence which they had so long unlustly
been deprived Of They have heralded their
monarch from the throne and abolished every
title of honor, so that no one can rise to dis
tinction except by the Improvement of mind
Almost all Europe Is following her example
every one is striving for the one great cause.
Reuublicanism and equal rights to all. The
blotted history of the past will not be initiated
by the future. The Eagle will bare the vul-
ture of despoism to earth and shout forth
through the clouds her triumphant song o.
Liberty and Republicanism. The ship o.
peace well lanched upon every sea christian
ty will become the Inhabitant of every cline
every nation will exchange disgrace fol
} honor, and bondage for liberty. The time i:
J not far distant when improvement will rise tt
! It Zenith of glory, when light and know ledg,
will becnme the beacon star of every nation
when ever one shall be permitted to drinl
deep of the limpid fountain of clasic Iore,--
her mankind in general shall become as wst
as the Philosophers of Greece, and point out a.
they did the future course of time when the
sons of freedom shall echo from pole to pole
when the bcaming sun of prosperity shall
shed 1t brilliant rays upon every nation and the
cloud Of trouble which hangs lowering, mas
be scaled as mist at morning dawn wher
true Democracy shall wave its flag of honor
to the world and advance till eternity.

Golfer, with the hardtood of a regular

Potts; and they agreed TO keep together.
They were in the very region of the ter

TO keep concealed all day in the woody

HAIL, LEWIS CASS, OF MICHIGAN!


By ). E. DOW.
Awake, old spirit Of the PASTE
Awake, and put thy armor on
Nail freedoms ensign to the mast,
Nor falter till the fight is won.
Heed not disunion's croaking voice,
Expose each dark and damning plan;
Elect the leader of your choice
The gallant Cass of Michigan.
The sky is thick, the stars grow dim,
The bark of Freedom braves the lea;
Her hearts of steel put trust In Him
Who walked upon the midnight sea;
For they behold a beacon bright
To cheer each faint and sinking man,
And DER it waving in the light
The name of Cass of Michigan.
The gray beard soldier leaps for joy,
The seaman on the deep is glad,
The old frontierman, when boy,
Remembers the adventurous lad,
Who trod the wilderness alone
Where millions now adore the man,
And tell how proudly valor shone
In Lewis Cass of Michigan.
What tho no Buena Vista frowned
With cannons grim and gllttering files,
There was host in battle crowned:
An army from the British isles,
The brave OF earth, who proudly sought
Our native soil with direul ban;
But they lesson and were taught
By Lewis Cass Of Michigan.
In princely halls, by gilded thrones,
He stood the champion of the free;
He heard the tettered seaman's groans;
And ope'd the prisons Of the sea.
The starry flag no longer bowed
To banners borne in Europe van,
And treemen on their hills we're proud
OF Lewis Cass of Michigan.
Firm in the principles Of right
By democratic sages taught,
He keeps his sword of honor bright,
And wrongs US not indeed or thought:
As when the glittering blade was broke,
Before base, dishonored man,
He stands, e'en now, our forest oak
The gallant Cass of Michigan.
