BURIAL Of the Beautifus.

Where shall the dead and the beautiful sleep2
In the vale where the willow and cypress weep;
Where the wind the west breathes its softest sg
Where the silscry stream is flowing nigh;
And the pure clear drops Of the rising sprays,
Glitter like gems in the bright moons rays
Where the SUMS warm smiles may never dispel
Nights tears DER the form we loved so we'll
In the vale, where the sparkling waters flow;
Where the fairest, earliest viol. = grow;
Where the sky and the earth, were softly fair,
Bury her there-bury her there!
Where shah the dead and the beautiful sleep?
Where wild flowers bio m in the valley deep;
Where the sweet robes Of Spring may softly rest
In purity, over the sleeper's breast;
Where is heard the voice of the sinless dove,
Bemoaning her absent, truant love;
Where no column proud in the sun may glow,
To mock the heart that is waiting below;
Where pure hearts are sleeping, forever best;
Where wandering Peri love to rest;
Where the sky and the earth are softly fair,
bury her there-bury her there!

On looking over tie returns Of the E.
lection in Connecticut. we find that We
ny few votes would have changed the
small Wing majority, toa Democratic ma
jority in the Legislature. The Wings
have barely escaped defeat. 1t has been
a close run upon them.
The Democrats should learn lesson
from the result. 1t teaches them that
union on their part is necessary to sue
cess, and that division among them, secures
important triumphs to their political oppo-
nents. 1t teaches them also, that their
cause depends upon full vote on their
part, not only in the minority and balanc-
ed towns, but in the Democratic strong
holds. Let us think Of these things, and
ask ourselves whether the triumph OF
Democratic. principles is not worthy Of our
best exerticns, and also whether it does
not demand the surrender Of our person
al preferences and local prejudices.--

First Cause Ol stse outbreak. in
Paris.

The foreign correspondent Of the Al
bany Atlas, thus explains the sudden
cause Of the out break in Paris, atfer order
seemed established. 1t appears that, as
in most other cases Of kingly tyrants, it
sprung from the murderous firing of an
armed soldiery, on the crowd:
eve were attracted to the window by
large procession moving down the Bou-
levard with banner flying, and singing.
OF cousre, in few steps more, they met
the cavalry. The crowd, l was told, de-
mended a passage, the military refused,
some alteration Of words ensued, when a
gun from enizots garden went off and hit
the horse Of the captain. Immediately
supposing that the crowd meant to attack
them, although they were mostly without
arms, he ordered the soldiers to fire. Fif-
ty odd fell dead and wounded by the first
discharge, for the street was one COM
pact mass Of beings, attracted there by
curiosity. Never shall forget that dis
charge, and the shrek that followed it; in
the attempt to escape they trampled each
other down under foot. The cry Of ZEN
geonce was at once raised throughout the
city. "We are betrayed-,re are cheaied!''
The National Guard, Of eighty thousand,
at once appeared upon the side of the peo-
pie. Arms were searched for in all the
houses; all the streets were barricaded at
every fifty yards, by tearing " the paw
ing stones, which consist of square blocks
about foot in size-the large trees upon
the Boulevards were cut down, to assist,
and before morning it would have been
impossible for any force to drive the peo-
pie from their redoubts-- most, too, were
in some way armed, some with swords,
some with spikes, and others with guns
gathered from unknown sources. A pro-
clamation appeared in the morning that the
troops should be wholly withdrawn and
sent out Of Paris, but If aras TO late"
Thus the minions Of tyrants become the
very cause of their destruction.

stop here. They have abused this war
in all the detesta6le spirit OF s'lnoral trea-
SOM" and yet they adopt the very man
who owes his military eclat to this war.
They denonnce the commencement Of Tie
war because it enAnated, as they contend,
irop the march Is the Rio Grande, when
General Taylor himself had urged the
movement, and s<si I'll. Ger sass
that lnstesG 81 abRslEg lie -sl:linistss-
ton, they should attack him fer it. They
deprccate consequences Ct the war; they
resist all territorial indemnity; when their
own iavorite candidate reasserted but the
other day the justice and the necessity Of
territorial indemnity. In word, they at
tempt to deceive the people, by taking up
military chieftain, hero Of the very
war which they abuse, in its commence
mcnt and results; when he recommended
the very step which brought on the war;
when he now urges its vigorous prosecu-
ton until we obtain an honorable peace,
and when he declares no peace onght to
be made until we obtain, BY teritorrial &C.
QUESTION, an ample indemnity for the
past, and security for the future.
Such are the glazing contradictions, the
disgusting Inconsistencies, the miserable
tricks, the contemplate humbugs, Of
which many of the wing party are now
guilty. They are as deceptive as they
We're in 1910 or in 1914; and their whole
struggle, therefore, is to elect man UNI
der false pretences, whom they hope to
use for the promotion of their own views
and the success Of their own principles.
Whether Gen. Taylor will consent to be
used for any such purpose, We have tea
much respect for him to inquire; wheth-
er, if elected, lie will carry out the prin-
ciples of the wing party-their devotion
to an unconstitutional national bank-to
a protective tariff, in The very face of an
enlightened age-their enlargement of
the powers of The federal government, in
the very face of the constitution itself
we will not undertake TO predict. But
that their plan is to elect him, with the
hope of carrying out all their wing
schemes under false colors, is as clear as
the light of day. 1t is again all humbug
as insulting TO the people as it is dis
graceful to their pariy--a humbug, indeed,
as elaring as those which they Employed
in 1910 and 1874. We confess that It is
fer these reasons, ard not because of any
iil-wlll WHICH we bear 10 General Taylor
not because Of any want Of respect or of
erstitude for the man who has gloriously
served his country On tie battlefield
that we are indignant at tie course that
they are pursuing. Give US ali open and
acknowledged whis-give us champion
who will boldly take the field, whom we
can meet in fair encounter-and we shall
yield with grace to the decision of TIE
people. 1t is true, that even with the
banner of Henry Clay in the field, we can
scarcely expect manly and honorable
combat. We did not find it so in 1870.
We did not find ii so in 1914. We shall
still expect some false pretences, but not
so many of them as we shall expect from
the wings in the name Of his competitor.

What the " o. Id thinks of q Tory
" hig.

An American Consul, writing from one
of the most distant ports, where our flag
Of commerce visits; writes thus:
"The course that the Wing party and
the Wing presses in particular are taking
against the Mexican war, and the honor of
cur country, and their bitter and malignant
opposition tothe administration of the gov
ernment, is looked upon by foreigners
resident here as very strange and irrecon-
cilable with q due regard to the honor of
their country, and makes me blush some
times, and feel mortified to think of it
that men, here in a free country, and pro-
tected by it, could entertain and utter such
tory and unpatriotic sentiments as | have
seen used in the whig papers,"
What man, with an American soul in
his body can sustain party with such a
reputation at home and abroad.

Saturday Afternoon.
by N. p. WILLIS.

I love To look on a scene like this,
or wild and careless play,
And persuade myself that am not old,
And my locks are not yet gray.
For it stirs the blood in an old mans heart,
And it makes his pulses fly,
To Catch the thrill of happy voice,
And the light Of pleasant eye.
I have walked the world for fourscore years;
And they say thrt am old,
And my heart is ripe for the reaper, Death,
And my years are well nigh told.
It is very true--It is very true
Pm old, and q 'bide my time;'
But my heart win leap at scene like this,
And I half renew my prime.
Play on! play on. I am with you there,
In the midst Of your merry ring;
can feel the thrill of the daring Jump,
And the rush of the breathless swing.
hide with you in the fragrant hay,
And whoop the smothered cal,
And my feet slip up on the ready floor,
And care not for the fall.
am willing to die when my time shall come,
And shall be glad to 60,
For the world, at best, is weary place,
And my pulse is getting lows
But the grave is dark, and the heart will fail
In treading its gloomy way;
Andrat wiies my hsart of its drearincss,
To see the young SO gay.

It inherits not the pretensions of family.
Let Spain govern itself, let spain be in

Iidiiy Of this natural alliance, counts more
on the conformity Of principles than on the
SUGGESTIONS of the House OF Bourbon!
Such is, sir, the spirit of the councils
of the Republic. Such will invariably
be the character Of the policy, frank, firm,
and moderate, which you will have to rep
resent.
The Republic has pronounced in its
birth and in the midst Of the heat of the
contest not provoked by the people, three
words which have revealed its soul, and
which will call down on its cradle the
blessings of God and men--Liberty, E.
quality, Fraternity. She gave immediate
~ thereafter, by the abolition of tile pun
ishment of death for political offences, the
true commentary Of those three words at
home; do you also give them their true
commentary abroad. The sense of these
three words applied to our external rela-
tions is: the breaking by France of the
chains which weighed on its principle and
On its dignity; the recovery Of the rank
which it ought to occupy in the scale of
the great European powers; in fine, the de-
claration Of alliance and amity to all ma
tions. II France feels conscientiously its
