DEATH oE ALEXANDER SLIDELL Nc
KENzIE.-This gentleman, while riding
on his horse, yesterday, a, Sing Sing, fell
it fit of apoplexy, and instantly expired,
His name, Ia connection with the tragedy
on board the brig Sumers in which young
Spencer was so unceremonionsly swung
from the yard arm, is familiar TO all. AT
tina, time he was Lieutenant in the U. S.
Navy, but was subsequently appointed to
the command Of the U, S. steam frieate
Mississippi, stationed in the Gulf of Next
CO. tie returned to Boston u short time
since, where the friga,e now lies. He
was brother of Mr.. John Slidell, late Min
lister to Mexico, and tina, was his name;
but in consequence Of inheri,ing fortune
from a Mr. Mckenzie, adopted that a.
his surname. He was also related tc
Commodore Perry, and it was through
the influence of that officer he was pro-
noted to the post Of commander. ~ Y

WE LOVE MUSE ON THE PAST

We love 10 muse on the sacred Past,
And lovingly dwell on its scenes;
How closely they nestle TO Memory's shrine,
Which, them, from Forgefulness screens.
What bright ming hours they wing TO the soul,
And like "Gilead balns" ease its wounds,
If sorrow comes, or sadness invades,
Thoughts Of the past, their deep anguish drowns'
Thoughts of the Past! wha, JOY they bring
To the lonely, Borrowing heart.
And uniledy cluster in Friendship there,
Resolved, nevermore they will part.
To Joys of the Past we fonGly look back,
And live them, again, DER and DER,
And wish the sweet dream TO nger on,
Till we vanish from Tune troubled shore.
Hours of the Past! ye were blissful ones,
To which Memory, wild, often slrays,
We love 10 muse, as we wander among
The relics of dear, by-gone days.
Friends of the Past! we love thee still,
For closer Loves union hath bound
Your hearts to our own, and new friends we know
Are not true, like the old friends we found.
Hours, Joys, and Friends Of the Past,
Oh! where, tell US where ye have fed
MAY we not walk in the fooworn paths,
Where ye, and your trains gay led
Alas! haste no, from beyond our sight
Who tenderly cherish your worth,
Ye cannot mount 10 u faireI cline,
So content ye with US, on earth.
Come back to US on the signing breeze,
That whispers its tales i'll our ears;
Aye, sprit-voces! we know lhom well
They speak ofhuppier years
Come lack 10 US on the roaring tide,
That Iashes the pebbly shore;
We bid you welcome where'er you come,
But larry with US evormore.
Come back TO us in the thundcr's peal,
As il echoes from mountain TO dale
Wo only ask you to dwell with US,
Down here in Contentment's sweet vale.
We love to muse and dream on the Past,
For the Future we cannot explore;
Though tho Present well try TO happily pass,
Yet our hearts yearn for loved days OF yore'
AUGUSTA.

In each of these, as we think, the slrug-

majority; New Jersey, with near eU,-
votes, gave Clay about 300 majority;
Wand. with about 10000, gave about
b0 wing majority; while Tennessee,
100000 votes, gave Clay a majority
10. On the whole. then, we regard
election Of Cass and Butler as sure;
we believe that they are quite as like.

he explanation of this is 10 be found
e immense blunder made by the wings
n they nominated Gen, Taylor. The
politicians know perfectly well-and
y Of them openly admit-that he was
mated solely in the hope Of being car.
into the Presidency on food tide of
AIRY enthusiasm. Never was there
an utter and total miscalculation.-
bad of food tide everywhere, as was
|c,ed, there is nowhere any moving OF
waters at all. The utter deafness and
ess of the wing canvass is universally
rived, and nowhere seriously denied.
ut this is not all. The capital weak
of the wings is, that in not more than
or FIVE States, if in so many, can their
nee poll anything like their fuh party
gth; and even in some of these states,
party, even at its full strength, is n
less minority. Nor is the fact to be
called or denied, that Gen. Taylor is
g strength by every letter he writes.
INST adfastness and vaccillation and
rent desire to play the wholly new
