THE WORLHA ~REPUBLIC

The enthusiastic vision Of Independence,

being rapidly realized. Since the might Of
the human mind is reused in Europe, since
Freedom has unfurled her banners and the
voice of glad millions are echoIng in thun-
der tones our own dear watchword of Lib
erty, the field is open, the time has come,
and the occasion is ripe. France, beautiful
France. leads the van, with one hand bear
ing aloft the republican tri- color, and the
other pointing to our own stars and stripes
as the polar light of Liberty. Itae5s Ger
many, Switzerland, Prussia and Belgium
respond to her call, and her loud shout,
"Vive IA Repablque," has found an echo
lag pulse in the bosoms of millidts in our
Fatherland. Ireland has grofned under
the oppressor's rod till patience has ceased
to be a virtue, and further endurance will
but add Andther stigma to her long list of
humiIia tions.
Englandfe this truth, and IN redoub-
ling her energies to keepdown the srdor Of
.myrisds, who, like sTsntafasA N3sainsd toths
rock, see their hearts longing within their
reach, but cannot grasp 1t. England's in
cubus of five thousand millions of dollars,
in the shape of public debt, is the milestone
that must sink her, and drag with it-a
throne. Freedom, from her home in the
West, has a character deed Of Liberty to
offer to the isles of the ocean, and majesti-
cally sublime is the idea that the daughter,
with all due respect for the mother, with
all kindness and love, tenders her a post,
side by side with herself in the ranks of
Liberty. The human being now breathes
who will see this consummation-cannot

WHIGGERY GAZING IN.

The following communication was hand
ed to us for publication a few days ago by
Mr.. Murray, who is a respectable citizen
of this place, and the Surveyor Of Cole
county. He has presented the best of all
reasons for abandoning, wholly and uncon-
.~ditionally, his old party associations, and
we commend them to the careful ca7 .idcra-
ton of the Wings of Missouri who have
been on the side of their country during
the Mexican war, but who have not yet had
the mora: courage to make a bold and open
lenunciation of modern Whiggery. There
are several gentlemen in our community
who have broken off their connection with
the Wing party on account of the said and
comfort it has afforded the enemy in the way
of speeches and pamphlets, and are now
identified with the Democracy, that great
and patriotic party organization which has
ever been faithful to the peoples cause, and
which has always promptly sustained the
rights and honor of the republic. The door
is always open for admission to the demo-
cratic brotherhood, and there is yet room
for the accommodation Of as many as may
choose to enter. We except Col. Switzler,
of course, though if he should present him
self in time, he might be received:

SiuASO
or melancholy is a fearful thing
WhItiS it but the telescope Of truth?
Which strips 1fihe-distance of its phantacies,
And brings life near in utter Taakedness,
Making the cold reality too real!"
Byron wrote what he felt, but never did
he express his heartfelt sentiments more
sincerely, than in the above lines. He did
not merely Imagine, but he knet0 what
.ne!ahchOI, was from sad experience
lie was the child of foitune-life threw
al ound him all her entertainments. He low
ed titles, and he was born 10 them;-he
sought knowledge, and the halls of science
were thrown open to him,-he courted
honors, and they came to overflow ing;-he
wished applause, and millions spoke his
praiSe;-he palled in his own native land,
aud went abroad into the chimes of classic
renown;-he asked for luxury and pomp-
he lived amid the smiling and the beauti-
'ful-wherever he wished he went-what-
ever he desired he had. He drank at eve
ry stream Of pleasure-every muse sang
to him, and every enjoyment danced before
him; and yet after all, he sat down in lone
disgust of life, and breathed the above
strains of melancholy? Because life had
no more to give-he drew aside the drapery
of happiness, and saw and felt that all
was vanity of vanities' behind the scene.
He awoke from the dreams of youth-the
Iyay illusions Of the imagination vanished
i'll the sober light Of truth, and 'the cold
reality stood before him. The dreams of
youth had told enthusiastic tales Of future
pleasure, love an honor-he had possessed
all-he had known all that could be known
he had enjoyed all that could be enjoyed
he could dream no farther-the future
had nothing new. the cold reality
his proud heart sunk within him, and the
warm thoughts of the past rushed back a
gain on his sunken spirits like the geld
torrents of December-they rolled on;-he
had no farther resource-no farther hope
he possessed the Sought kalon,' but the
charm was broken. They rolled Onion
on; he felt all-but he stirred not-the in
cubus of melancholy held him-he felt
"As il the dead could feel,
The lev worms around them steal.
And shuddcr as the reptiles creep
To revcl on their rotting sleep;
Without the power TO scare away
The cold consumers Of their clay !"

Speech--Te nomination Of the Barn.
burners Postponed--Who IS Captain
Bragg?
The nomination of Gen. Lewis Cass for
President, and Gen. VIM O. Butler for
Vice President, give universal satisfaction
TO the Democrats here; while even the most
sanguine Wings admit that they will be
"hard to beat" There was a great ratifi-
cation meeting here last night, and at the
close of it, the enthusiastic crowd, several
thousand strong, moved to the residence of
Gen. Cass, with a band of music at their
head, to rouse the veteran statesman, who
responded, from the steps of his hotel, in
one of his most felicitous addresses.
As soon as the Senate meets, which will
be on Monday next, the General will resign
his seat in the Senate. 1t is believed that
Judge Eton P. F~arnesworth, of Detroit,
will be his successor in the Senate.
| here take occasion to remark that, when
nearly every paper North and South was
fiji :dwith suggestions in regard to "the in
trigues," as they were called, Of Mr.. Polk
FOR a denomination to the Presidency, a.
lone informed the readers of the Sun that
there was not a word Of truth in these as
sertions, and Mr.. Folks letter which was
read in convention previous to the first bal
lot, has amply vindicated my character for
.trutilfulness.
have seen here the friends of Mr.. Dali
las, Mr.. Woodbury., Mr.. Buchanan, &c.,
and all express their readiness and eager
ness to do battle for General Cass. The
zeal of his supporters is very great, and
their hopes of success were never more
sanguine. They expect General Taylor to
be nominated, and are ready TO march to
battle with the eageIness of revolutionary
soldiers.
General EIouston's speech, in vindica-
ton Of the vote of Texas in favor of ad-
hitting the B%arnburners from New York to
the Convention, is very much admired
I"Whcn We came into the Union," said the
hero of San Jacinto, "we had swords for
ouI enemies; but no arrows for our friends
in any part of the Union" These words,
in Sam Houston's mouth, have a meaning,
and do credit to his heart as well as under
standing.
1t is very much doubted here, that the
Barnburners will make a separate nomina-
ton for President or Vice President.
l see in your editorial of this morning,
that the talk in Baltimore, as in this city,
is that the Wings at Philadelphia will nom
mate Gen. Taylor for President, and Cap
tain Bragg for Vice President, and that tie
question is asked in every quarter: Who is
Captain Bragg? l believe he is a native of
Warren county, North Carolina, who has
grown up under the shadow of old Nat

ON THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN IN

The sun will rise, the sun will set
Ger Anahuac's hills of geld,
As bright, Ger vale or mountain jet,
As if no warrior slept below;
But never, till his race be run
In heavens blue arch, will that blest Sun
His beams display
O'er hearts of nobler mould,
Than those who, rapt in glory's spell
In Anahuac's valleys fell,
The proud, the free, the bold.
Oft shall the patriot thither turn
His steps in salutary woe,
To deck with bays the mound or urn
That marks the honored dust below.
The seasons they shall bring,
Their sweetest stores o floveliest spring
In vernal vest,
Where, rank to rank, or man to man,
Inspired in glory's martial van,
They sank to rest.
Seasons shall come, and seasons go,
And many a hill fowerbud and blow
In wild perfume;
But never, nete-, LOST to fame,
Shall memory cease to hold the name
Or mark the tomb
Where they who for their country fell,
Rest in the field, or wild wood dell,
Where warriors met,
And with their blood, and for her laws,

The conspiracy which took place on the

By the Telegraphic dispatches we see
that MI. Benton introduced in the Senate,

about two weeks ago an extraordinary cou-

Congress from the Oregon settlers for aid
to be used against the savages, who had
committed fearful outrages of late. We
anticipate prompt action from the resolution
so promptly offered by Senator Benton.
