oNLr THIS ONCE - the wine cup glowed,
All sparkling with it's ruby ray,
1e bacchanalian revel flowed,
And folly made the madness CAV.
hen he, so oft, so deeply warned,
The sway of conscience rashly spurned,
His promise of repentance scorned,
And coward like to guilt returned.
IS ONLY ONCE - the tale is told,
He wildly quaffed the poisonous tide
With more than Esau's frenzy sold
The birth right Of his soul, and DIED.
do not say that breath forsool
Inc clay, and left his pulses dead,
But reason in her empire shook,
And all the life of life was fled.
Then angel eyes with pity wept,
When he, whom virtue fain would save,
His sacred vow SO falsely kept,
And strangely chose drunkard's grave,
"ONLY THIS ONCE" Beware beware
Gaze upon the blushing wine
Repel temptations siren snare, fp .&l
And prayerful seek for rt-fi'iof JarN II.

a WET BLANKET.--At q recent meeting OF tho
Taylor Club, Mr.. Duncan, Of Louisiana, after
endorsing the claims of Gen. Taylor, closed by
asking "if Connecticut would not give her vote
for him ~ "No!" was the response of clear.
distinct voice from living wing present and
amid the CONSERVATION Of the assembage, he rose
and stated that he was whig--a truo whig--,hat
he had just returned from a tour through a large
portion of the State, and he was thoroughly con-
vinced that Gen. Taylor could not carry the State
Of Connecticut! 1t niight bo unpaatable, but i;
was true. This, seys the Register, came upon tho
assembly like vet blanket, and put out the little
spark of enthusiasm which Duncan 81 Co. have
been trying 20 blow into flame. The members
soon after departed, looking very much like the
chap VINO had tried to light his pipe at the pump"

lMPERsoNALITY OF NEwsPAPERs.-TheN New

ticle Inadvertently published in that paper, in
which the editor of the Union was called by
name, makes the following very just remarks:
The habit of bringing the names of the re-
pu,ed editors of newspapers before the public
instead of merely naming the journals which
they conduct, is one which almost inevitably
leads to petty personal controversies, and frit-
ters away what should be contest for princi-
plies into quarrel about the conduct and the
motives of a class of individuals in whom the
public have very little interest.
1t is, in our view, practice that degrades
the profession of journalist, and is one Of the
causes why its estimation with the public falls
so far below what the influence il exercises
would seem to entitle it to enjoy. We regard
il, when we are made the subjects of it. as a
improperly. and considering it
thus, we cannot countenancc 1t when others

GEN. CAss's LETTER OF AccEPTANcE.-Gen

in letter which has been published but which
we have not yet seen. The Louisville Journal
says he subscribss fully to all the resolutions
adopted by the convention as the Locofoco plat
form for this year and declares that he will un-
der no circumstances write any more letters
before the election. He has no idea of respond
ing to the intenogatories of men who may be
curious as to his present position in relation
10 matters that he has been upon all possible
sides of within the last three or four years.
''Pray what do the Locofocos think now ofs

they denounced and ridiculed Gen. Harrison fo

AUSTRIA AND ITALY.

Battles betiuecn the Austrians and Italians.
VERONA, May IA sanguinary conflict took
place in our immediate neighborhood yester-
day. The enemy, whose numbers have been
considerably increased bv numerous free corpse,
amounts to nearly three times as many as ours.
The Austrian troops fought like lions, but un-
happily lost many brave men, among whom
were the valiant General Sails, who was shot
through the breast. and Lieut.. Colonel Lenzen-
dorf.
The 10th Jagar battalion, consisting chiefly
of Lower Austrians, suffered the most material
loss Nearly four times the number of the
enemy were disabled. The cannons roared in
cessanlly for nearly seven hours, and from eleven
to two in the afternoon were so close that the
enemy's balls fell at our gate. The town has
been and remains quiet.
According to letter from Verona, dated
Nav 6, ten o'clock at night, the right wing of
the Austrians, commanded by d'Aspre, and
the left by Wateslaw, were on the other side
of the Etsch. The strength of the Piedmontese
was estimated at $4,000 men, They fought
valiently, especially the Swiss guards. Rade:s-
ky's Italian troops gave way, while their Ger
man fellow combatants manfully maintained
the honor of the German arms. At ST. Lucia
and San Massimo, three companies maintained
their ground against four battaions for six
hours, without giving place one inch TO the
acknowledgements Zcitung.
