New York, delivered in the House of Representa~
tlves, July path, 1S4S, in which he denounces Mr..
Var Buren,, and supports the election of General
Cdss. Mr.. Birdsell, in the speech above alluded
to, has the following:
.Iaccord fully with the views of a late distin>
guished Senator General Cass,) as expressed in
his letter to Mr.. Nicholson.'
Sir, the p~roiessed Democrat, who, standing up
here or elsewhere, utters the assertion that the Nor-
lhern Democracy who adhere to the principles,
usages, and nominations of the Democratic party,
are, G%Ryphere, IN favor of extending slavery, utters
what he must know to be a base SANDER against the
Democracy. for which he deserves the scorn and
cetestatlon Of every honorable man. The Northern
Democracy are nowhere in favor of extending sIa>
very. They have not been asked TO aid in its ex,en>
sion. They will not be. No snch proposition is
before Congress or before the country; and he who
decelves any honest voter into the abandonment of
lOng-cherlshed political associations by such a pres
tence, will be guilty of a fraud for which he must
answer at the bar of his own conscience, and to his
God. THE Democratic party, upon this question,
stands rhere 1t has erer stood. 1t occupies no ncaD
position. has taken no near ground!"

Gen. Cass has said that he is no stakeholder
that he prays for its abolition everywhere. GenerS

opinion.

CITY OF EVANS WILLIE:
THURSDAY, APRIL 20, ls4s.

ny MR MoRRIsS. JoHksoS, whose numer-
Gus advertisements will be found in another
part of our paper. is opening one of the best
selected stocks Of Dry Goods, &c, ever brought
10 our market and which we do not believe
can be beat in the West. Possessing an ex-
tensive acquaintance with the Eastern mar
kets, aud likewise knowledge of the wants
of this region, he has been able TO make Sc
lection which, at the remarkable low rates
goods are jobbingin this city, cannot fail to
arrest the attention of purchasers. 1t is fix
ed fact, that dry goods and groceries can be
purchased in this market as cheap as in Gin
einnati. and in many instances much lower.
And there is no reason why this should not be the
case. House rent, clerk hire. marketing, andeye-
rything else is lower here than it is in largei
cities, while competition is as great. Many
coantry merchants heretofore in the practice
of visiting Louisville and Cincinnati, have
this year given our merchants a trial. and are
satisfied that they can do as well here as III
either of those cities. We feel confident tha
if country merchants will give our jobbers 8
chance they will prove to them the truth O
we have said, and satisfy them that is is 4
,ving Of time and money to patropize HONS

FOREVER THINE

In the range OF English Fugitive Poetry, few
pieces to be met of deeper pahos more tender
feeling than the following by Alaric A Waits. II
breathes the very soul of devoted Affection
Forever thine, whate'er this heart betide,
Forever thine where'er our lots be cast
Fate that may rob US of all wealth beside,
Shall leave US love till life itsclfbe past
The world may wrong us--we will brave its hate
False friends may change, and fulser hopes de-
cline;
Tho bowed by cankenng we'll smile at fate.
Since thou art mine, beloved, and am thine.
Forever thine-when circling years have spread
Times snowy blossoms DER thy placid browi
When youths rich glow, lis purple light is fed,
And lilies bloom where roses flourish now.
Say, shall love the fading beauty less,
Whose springtide radiance has been wholly
mine?
No what VII. thy steadast truth. I'll bless
lnyouth, in age, thine own, forever thine!
Forever thine, at evenings dewy hour,
When gentle hearts to tenderest thoughts incline
When balmiest odors from each closing flower
Are breathing round me-t thine, forever thine.
Forever thine! amid the boisterous crowd,
When the jest spurkIes with the sparkling wine,
may not name thy gentle name aloud,
But drink to thee in thought-forever thine!
would not sweet, profane thy sivery sound,
The depths of love could such rude hearts d.
vine;
Let the loud laughter peal, the toast go round,
My thoughts, my thoughts are thine, forever
thine,

They represented him wholly Incompetent to fill

several other stations OF trust and honor. Besides,
they said his moral character was VIGOROUSLY bad
| that he lived an adulterons life with woman whom
he called his wife, that he killed her husband in

the ties OF marriage. If any Wing paper dares deny
these statements, We have the documents prove
