know that the spring. time
Is come, for heard
In the morn's early prime,
The blithe blue bird;
And high in the clear sky,
The martin that brings
Tidings of summer night,
Warm ON his wings!
And So in the hedge hid
The3iole blue,
With its halfopened lid
Laden with dew;
And in the border train
The crocus lifi up,
As a young novice Prim,
Her tiny cup.
And the brook urries past
With bright dimpled face,
As child froIicks past
FIush'd with the chase;,
And the wind wooiDg sips
Delight as it goes.
From the sweet budding lips
OF the young rose!
Oh! tits the season gay,
When earth from its gloom,
Warm'd by the vernal ray.
Burst into bloom!
And the SOULS CHERISHED thought
Imprisoned too long,
BY its own lervor taught,
Breaks into song!
Then hail to the spring time
Her sunshine, her showers
Welcome the merry chime
Heard in her bowers
Hail her with beaming brow,
With sports and with cheers!
Crown her with garIands now,
Queen of the year!

From the frederick Citizen.


GEN. CAss.-Thfs great and good
man is now, as he was four years ago,
our first choice as candidate for the Pres.
idency. We admired him, then, for his
talents purity of character. and the fear.
lessness which he manifested, in his cell
ebrated essays, published TO the worlc;
whilst minister to the Court of France.
But, now We admire him, and venerate
him Infinitely more since he has been
tried in the frey ordeal Of the United
States Senate, and stood the test. His
patriotic. consistent, and bold course on
the Oregon questio1;his consumate states
mansbip; his calm and resoluie support of
the cause of his country, in this Mexican
war. both against the enemy abroad. and
the more dangerous traitors here at home
have all combined to make Cass the most
popular man in the nation, and the one
best fitted to fill the high office Of the
Presidency. for the completion of the
splendid system of policy so successfully
commenced by James K. Polk. If Gen.
Cass had gained all the battles fought iii
Mexico, (the glory of which is divided
between Scott, Taylor. Worth, Shields
Qditman. Doniphan,an host of others
he would have but little additional claims
to the confidence and respect Of his coun.
trymen.
Jefferson was no soldier; and you who
will dare say that the author of our de.
claration of Independence did not do more
for the permatient happiness and liberties
of bis country. than all the Generals in
Mexico put together?
And yet, Cass fought nobly. for the
rights and honor of his country, in the
last war with Great Britain. >.....
Whilst we prefer Cass to any. and all
of our public men, who are prominen,
for the Presidency. we at the same time:
are prepared to abide by. and ardently
support the Nominee of the Democratic
National Convention.
We. therefore, go for Cass, subject 10

"These people are supposed by some
to be the ancient Cathie, who, in the time
OF Aiexander's invasion, occupied a Dor.

OF the five rivers. Among the Cathies
there are no distinctions Of caste. Be.

horror of being the cause of his death,

pondent of the Illinois Gazette, writing
from Sacramento village, in the Kiamesh

The Indians are very numerous in this

kill them. for which we make war upon
them. The first of March last. seventeen

Teasing and holding a cotincil of war
against the whites. The dead indians
were estimated at about one hundred and
fifty; and about as many wounded. with
out any loss or the least injury on our
side.
OF productions, the writer says:
Wheat is considered a very uncertain
crop here. On the coast it is much the
best farming land. Fifteen or twenty
bushels to the acre is all they expect;
and that is very much rusted ON account
of the heavy dews from the ocean. Veg.
etables are said to do we'll on the coast:
Fruit generally does well on the coast.
Salmon and other fish are here in abund:

inclusive about the current prices for those now in
the market.
The commercial accounts from Europe, by the Aca-
da do not to much but they rather favora
bic than otherwise The advance in cotton looks WE'LL
but afraid 1t cannot be sustained The demand
for manufactured goods from the United States, and
from all othor parts of the world, is likely to be mere
limited for several months than 1t has BEEN and the
manufaoturers will be compelled to contract their ope-
ration below the reduced point reached since the
revusion commenced; and in the face Of this, 1t is
hardly possible for the material to improve much
in prices for current rates to be sustained.
The limited wants of the ufacturers cannot main
tain prices when the stocks hand are growing by
the large receipts from the nited States and the
prospect for large yield from the crop being
picked good reports from all parts Of the
try exhibit. The abs. nee Of spectators from the
Liverpool market is another evidence Of the weak
ness Of the market, and the artificial stimulus given
to prices. We do not look for any permanent or
important improvement in quotations for co ton
in Liverpool until speculation becomes active
The manufacturers are very seldom spectators;
It is only when largely stocked that they have
any disposition to put up the market. As q general
might almost say universal thing ma turers
opposed to high prices for the material and in
the absence OF specus,ors they will every effort
to depress the market We alluded, few days since,
to the speculatons of British manufacturers in our
southern markets, where they were purchasing for
their consumption, at prices fraction above those
current in New York.
We can form from this pretty good evidence Of
what position the market would be in If these parties
had absolute control It, IL lie the speculator after
all, that gives activity to operations, impetus TO
prices, and the producer In measure, depends upon
that class for remuneration The position of the 40
clssses of operators in Liverpool is by ne means
favorable for any permanent improvement ia prices

quoted unless the basis sound 1t cannot BIZ sustain
ed The improvement reported by this arrival, has
only equazed prices between Liverpool and prin-
cipa chipping points but the effect here, probaby,
will be to maize the difference greater than 1t
before, and place us further in advance. The
