THE FIELD OF RAIsIN.

The battle IS DER! the din is past,
Nights mantle on the field is cast;
The Indian yell is heard no more,
And silence broods o'ec Erie's shore.
At this lone hour go to tread
The field where valor vainly bled-
To raise the wounded warriors crest,
Or warm with tears his icy breast;
To treasure up his last command,
And bear it TO his native land.
II may one pulse of Joy impart
To fond mothers bleeding heart;
Or for moment it may dry
Thet ear. drop in the widows eye.
Vain hope, away! The widow ne'er
Her warriors dying wish shall hear.
The passing zephyr bears no sigh,
No wounded warrior meets the eye
Death is his sleep by Erie's wave,
OF Raisin's snow we heap his gravel
How many hopes lie murdered here
The mothers joy, the fathers pride,
The country's boast, the foeman's fear,
In wiIder'd havoc, side by side.
Lend me, thou silent queen of night,
Lend me awhile thy waning light,
That may see each well loved form,
That sunk beneath the morning storm.

MILITARY MEN.

The chief objection against General TAYLOR is
founded upon his being soldier and no civilian.
Mr.. BUCHANAN, the Secretary Of State, in his late
speech al Washington, rested his whole opposition
10 Gen. Taylor upon that point. Mr.. McLANE also
lays great stress upon il in his letter the other day
to his friends in Delaware. The " Union plays
upon that string continually, and seldom omits even
for single day to depreciate Gen. TAYLOR as /" a
mere soldier, fresh from the despotic habits Of the
camp, and no civilian at all.'
The three personages we have mentioned were
the supporters OF Gen. JACKSON, quite ardent sup
porters. Ii either of them thought il was only a
figure of speech to call him military chieftain, one
OF the three seems to have thought differently. The
Richmond Enquirer, at period when the present
official paper not in existence made the fol-
lowing declarations, which, ii copied now into the
" Union," might refresh more memories than one !:
"Wo lend hand towards The election

IL the Democrats a Penn lvania relish such priucipcs let
them take the author he We hell no, envy their
selection Of citizen Of suei rcs, suct temper, and such
qualifications"
The " omalgamating policy referred TO in the
last paragraph, is phrase to dcsignatethe Generals
alliance with the Federalists, who we're among the
first to take him up, and who exercised control
ling influence afterwards as the leaders Of the Jack
son party. They are called Democrats now, and
are perhaps more jealous than tho orthodox.
Gen. TAYLOR, though military man, as Gen.
JACKSON was, is not rash nor violent in his temper
Ills whole career shows singular moderation and
equanimity. lie has never been involved in quar-
rels, although no man knows better how to repel
unjust inpu,aons and TO maintain himself with dig
nifty. With all the good qualities Of brave sol
dier and wise commander, Gen. TAYLOR seems
to have kept wonderfully free from the vices Of the
military life.-BaH. finer.

dieting report that he would support Gen. CAss

ing him:
From youth to age have known Gen. Taylor.

is devoted 10 his country and its constitution, and
will stand by both unnfuenced by party. He
has said as much, and l believe him. | know

purposes, nor influenced by any other considera-
tion than the good OF his country.

scale Of the many excellent qualifications which
have recommended him to his countrymen for the
highest Office in their gift. He is emphatically
The man for The times. His purity of character
strong innate sense of justice, incorruptibe hon.

close. And we know, too, that the whole patron
age OF this powerful Government is in the field,
working with body and soul against Gen. TAYLOR.
He has never yet been defeated, and it IS not pro-
babIe that he will be defeated now. But prudence
counsels to act as if each Wing felt the result to
depend on his own individual exerons. Let him
Go so, and the result is certain. The Peoples

DEATH OF Mn. OTIS.

The Boston papers announce the decease, on
Saturday morning last, Of the Hon. HARRIsoN
GRAY OTls, at the advanced age of SO years. Mr..
OTIs was through many years Of his life a conspi-
cuous politician, both in Congress and al home
yet strongly differing with him as the Editors of
this journal did during that period, on almost
all political questions, his personal and private
character and abilities ever commanded their biph
respect. He was one Of the most polished gentle
men whom we have ever known, if indeed he had
in this respect any equal; and, in The midst Of the
fiercest party collisions, there was no one, we pre-
sumo, who ever enjoyed larger share of the respect
OF persons of all parties than he did, both in the
community in which he lived, and among those who
knew him in public life.
The following notice of this eminent citizen is
copied from the Boston Transcript
He descendant Of JonS OTIs, who came from Eng
land to this country and settled in Hngham Massachusetts
in the year 1880; and nephew Of the celebrated JAMES
OrIs Of Revolutionary memory to whose eoquence and pa
tosm the of American Independence was SO LARGELY
indebted.
Mr.. OrIs born in Boston, October 8, l765. and WAS
consequently in his S4h year this the closing day Of hs
life. He graduated at Harvard University in 1888 Mr.
oris mas hled many Important public Offices He has rep
resented Massachusetts in both Houses of Congress-
He was appointed District Attorney under JOHN ADAMS
was subsequently member Of the celebrated Hartford Con-
venon President Of State Senate Judge Of the
Boston Court OF Common Pleas and the third Mayor Of
Boston.
Few men have impressed themselves SO largely uuon
the political character and destnes Of this Commonwealth
In all great public questions he has taken earnest and active
interest up to the last few weeks of his earthly career His
eo4uence of the Ulysses stamp graceful concaory
elegant and argumentatve rather than mpasoned and tu
buent appealed to the than the passions
and the gaces of literature gave an intellectual charm
His intellectual faculties bright and vigorous to the
last; and he died without pain, gently that those who
watched with him could not tell the exact moment of the
spirits departure He has gone, full of years and honors to
meet the experiences of higher and amper sphere of
existence.
