HAIL. LEWIS CASS, OF MICHIGAN.
BY J. e. DOW.

Awake, old spirit of the past
Awake, and nut thy arnor on
Nail freedoms ensign 70 the mast,
Nor ialter till the fight is won.
Head not disunion's croaking voice,
Expose each dark and damning plan;
Elect the leader of your, choice
The gallant Cass of Michigan.
The sky is thick, the stars grow dim,
The bark of Freedom braves the lea,
Her hearts of steel put trust in Him
Who walked upon the midnight sea;
For they behold q beacon bright
To cheer each faint and sinking man,
And DER it waving in the light
The name OF Cass of Michigan.
The gray beard soldier leaps for joy,
The seaman on the deep is glad,
The old frontiersman, when boy,
Remembers the adventurous lad,
Who trod the wilderness alone
Where millions now adore the man,
And tell how proudly valor shone
In Lewis Cass of Michigan.
What tho no Buena Visa frowned
With cannons grim and glittering files,
There was host in battle crowned;
An army from the British isles;
The brave of earth who proudly sought
Our native soil with direfnl ban;
But they lesson sad were taught
BY Lewis Cass of Michigan.
In princely halls, by gilded thrones,
:. He stood the champion of the free;
He heard the fettered seaman's groans,
And oped the prisons of the sea.
The starry flag no longer bowed
To banners borne in Europe's van,
And freemen on their hills were proud
OF Lewis Cass of Michigan.
Firm in the principles Of right
By democratic sages taught.
He keeps his sword Of honor bright,
And wrongs it not in deed OF thong hit;
As when the gIittering blade was broke,
Before base. dishonored man,
He stands, cen now. our forest oak
The gallant Cass of Michigan.

will pop out, like the cork from cham

compound of both. At love she laughed !:
'.It was a trap for fools." she said. But
people who make traps, sometimes are the
first to fall into them.
Kate was in her eighteenth summer,
when her bosom friend, Lucy Wharton,
was married, and Kate was bride's maid.
Her partner, Harry Neville, was . fine,
dashing feIlo y, with pretty large estate,
and commission IN the army. He and
Kate we're well matched He cared no
more for her railery than for Mexican

great dezterlty and success, especially in
the matter of stealing trunks from stage

the exploits Of a rough gambler in Cam

in a letter TO The Sporting Chronicle
He says there was great deal of this
kind ofbusiness going on in Canada, but
nobody could compete with him, and he
would have made fortune had he re-

Manner.-Benton ara Kearny.

Our readers will have seen In our Washington
CORE spondence, some remarks upon the affair
between General Kearny and Senator Benton.
We should deem it highly unbecoming gen.
tleman 10 act, as il was reported Mr. Benton did
towards General Kearny. If the most bitter
snemy of Mr. Benton had represented him as
acting in this manner, he could hardly select d
more cruel mode Of attack but the strange fea-
ture in the case is, that Mr.. Benton himself,
has reported himself as having acted in this rude,
gross and uugentlemanly manner. Our cores
poRdent has unintenionnlly touched two chords,
which both vibrate with most disagreeabe twaDg
towards Col Benton. He observes that Col
Benton had recommended Gen. Kesrny for the
appointment in California. This places Mr.
Benton in a very bad light, if he could have
Kearny, because Of his recommendation. Ano-
;her feature Of this case, harsh and disagreeable
10 contemplate, lie this-that while Mr. Benton
gives license TO his tongue TO wound the feelings
Of gentleman, he guarantees himself from all
punishment for such conduct, by giving it out
that he Will not fight Is this the conduct of a
brave man Precisely in this way the late Mr.

The CORPORATION SPRINo ELECTION We do
not think it 10 too early to make preparations for
the election in the spring, in order to &C.
complish, if possible, some reform in the city,
and some change in the present management of
our municipal concerns. There is prospect
of accomplishing something now. There 10 a
slrong disposition among the people of this city
to throw off the sheckles of the old parties-wbig
and locofoco-and come forth in favor of some
distinct movement leading to the elevation of a
distinguished military cheftain to the Presi-
dency. The general sentiment Of reform ought
not 10 confne itself TO national affairs il should
also comprehend within this movement every
thing connected with public interests, either of
state or municipal objects. In the preparations
making for the organization of the new party TO
support General Taylor, we trus, and hope,
that in every ward of the city, the parties
engaged in them will not forget the terrible
disgrace and extravaganza which, have been
entailed on the municipal concerns of New York
for many years past, and which under the pre-.
sent regime, are worse than ever. Now is the
time to think and pre- pare for action in this mat.
ter. The spring elections will soon be here, and
If the public mind be properly aroused TO the EXT
gencies OF the case, have no doubt that com.
plete revolution and change may yet take place
in the municipal government of this city. II
could not be worse or more disgraceful than il is

Immediately stated the case, with praiseworthy
brevlty and equal foice, to Lord Palmerston.--
Lord Palmerston Immediately had the captain,
who had been guilty Of smuggling our enemy
