Having published Mr.. Bots Protest, We re.
publish, as an acI Of Justice, Mr.. S. Gallahcr's

The peculiar friends OF Messrs. Taylor and Clay
will probably write each others candidates down,
and find themselves under The necessity OF taking
NJ a new man, who "wonld be an acceptable
candidate 10" the Northern Wings, composing,
as they do, The large majority Of the Wing party.
II was thought 10 be a cunning trick in The Wings
10 nominate Gen. Taylor, so as 10 operate upon
he Virginia spring elections; but Mr.. Bots has
spoiled all the fun. MIR. Gallahet's projectsd re-
solutions sound c~uriously enough. Do they or
no, exclude The conclusion, that Mr.. Clay would
also 'be an acceptable candidate Of the Wings Of

POETRY.
LOOK UpWARD.-By D. II. Howard.


o, WREN the worlds cold face away is turned;
When dim have grown The altar tires, thal pufHea
In the young heart so freshly; when the soul
Is faintine meath the waves that DER IL roll;
When the green bowers Of youthful nope nave grown
Leaiess and silent, cherries, cold and lone;
When love is dying in the very heart
That cherished it with such a tender art;
When heau,y's dream is faded, and It's light
Is ouenched, a. in Il sad and starless night;
O. then look upward that a cheering ray,
Sent from the fountain of angelic day,
MAY reach thine eye, and in Thy heart restore
The sunlight Of Thy joys, 10 fade no more;
While a celestial peace shall DER thee steal,
Thy cares release; and thy tear. fountains seal.
Touched with immortal vigos by that beam,
Thou shalt awake as from a death-iike dream;
And short and easy then win be thy way,
Cheered BY the glow Of heave n -illumined day:
Although through deserts, parched and dreai, 1t lie,
Bright flowers shall wake to bloom before thine eye;
Springs break forth at thy feet; and thou shalt hear
An angels voice ~soft-whispering In thine ear
Look heavenward still! and learn that thence alone,
From Him who sits on Truths respondent throne,
Can come life's real blrssedness; and know,
That not on trees OF earthly planting grow
Fruits that can nourish Thy immortal part,
And I'll with lasting JOY thy void and aching heart.

TWO MORE SHINING MARkS.'-ln.
tell:gence has been received OF a two fold loss sus-
tanned by The country, in The deaths Of eninen,ci-
,izens. The venerable Ambrose Spencer has al
length Welded 10 the prolracied illness under
which he has been lying, and on Saturday the
Hon. II. g. Wheaton expired al his residence, in
Roybury, Massachusetts.
Mr.. Wheaton returned, moi very long ago,
frum a diplomatic residence OF many wears in
Eurepr, ms last pos, OF duty having been the ca
pial oil Prussia. Soon afet his arrival he was
invited TO csiiv =, course OF lectures on inteTna-
tioual law ost :" = law school OF Cambridge
University, aud tne usce was approaching when
the course was TO begin; but his Preparations
we're stayed by illness, and now they are cutshort
by death. Il IS 10 be hoped, however, that they
were nearly completed. The lectures will form
a valuable legacy 10 his counlrymen.
The death Of Chief Justice Spencer is no, un-
expected. He has achieved a long term of emf
nen, and useful service, and goes Gown to his
grave in a ripe old age, fespe led and %honored,
ike his former associate on The bench, the !ae
