Now, thai the Ez-Presiden, has been
called TO his great account and keeps in
the silent tomb, his enemies are willing to
do Justice to his worth, his public and pri.
va.e reputation. He who whilc in power
was assailed in most wanto0 manner in
Congress and out Of Congress, he who
was abused and sraduccd, revilcd and un-
derrated, is now declared to have been
upright and honorable, jus, and inaexible,
pious, Conscientious, sincere, capable and
Industrious. What is public fame, wl,a,
is tho value Of public honor? Who has
justice done to his worl, and merits? We
answer, he who is in his grave.
The administration of Mr.. PouK was
not without its faults and its errofs, but,
in its results, it has been the most bril-.
liant known in the history Of this country;
the acquisition Of California and New
Mexico alone will secure to the country
ono stream of wealth, commerce, power,
and position prudently managed which
will make the republic OF the United
States greater than ever were Greece
and Rome in ,hcir mos, Palmy days. In
his time the arms Of our Country have
been most triumphant in every engage.
ment, our Golfers have oycrfowed with
revenue, our boundaries extended, our
rights respected, and peace with the world
and respect OF oil nations were ours a.
the period Of his death. History hereaf.
ter will do him justice, the present gener.
alton will remember him with respect as
a good and uprigh. ruler and jus, man.

: Who forgets the anecdote IF Napoleon, and
the village bells of Brients,--He was riding
late Dna day over q battlefield, gazing stcrn
1 az and un9ioyed on tho dying and the dead that
strewed the ground by thousands about him,
When suddenly whose evening bells" struck
up merry peal. The Emperor paused to
listen; his heart was softenetl;, memory was
busy with the past; he was no longer the con.
fueror of Austerlitz, but the innocent, happy
! school.boy at Brentz; and dismountinp from
Z. his horse, he seated himself on the stump of
an old tree, and to the establishment of Rapp,
/; who relates the circumstance, burst into tears.
The rock was smitten, and the living waters
came gushing from it.
EMPLoY YOUR PEN.--This counsel though
z less frequently given than others, ia never
g, theless tar from being superfuous. There is
2 marvellous power IN writing down what we
know. L fixes the thoughts, reveals our ig.
norance, aids our memory, and insures com.
mand oflanguage. Men acquire more know.
ledge, says Bishop Jewel, by frequent ex.
erclsing Of these pens, than by the reading of
many books. How often do we see persons.
advanced to great wealth, and even in the
Legislature or In Congress-, who, from neg
iect Of composition in their younger days, are
absolutely unable to pen decent letter. The
practice OF writing a few sentences eyery dav
would prevent such source Of modification.
/, STANZAS.
lpraise not thine eyes, which resemble
The violet opening at morn,

Where the soul of their beauty il born,

Is most desirable, and Of this GLASS are

that family arrived carly last week in tho Her.

thousand pounds, most Of which they brought with
them. Among tho passengers that come out in the
Bremen line Of steamers there many wealthy fxmi
lies who come here for tho purpose Of making this
country . place for permanent residence and the
amount Of property brought here by these people is
immense. We also dnd that the principal European
demand for American stocks comes from Germany,
whish, with the class Of people emg Tating from that
part Of Europe to this country is the best evidence
the world Of the feeling entertained for our insttu

The -Admimistrat,om-ths Wanaot Propiso-Cos,
Bentom-Heny Clay, 8c.-Ins National Intsat-
gencu and its Prospectus.
We are disposed to believe that the admlnistra-
ton would prefer the people of California to take
the slavery question out of the hands of Congress
and Old lack; for it an ugly customer. and SONG
how or other 1t must here is no helping it) be met
at the next session.
The bold and emphatic course of Col. Benton
among his constituency, in favor of free soil. viii
only go to strengthen that party in both houses AZ
the next session; and the probability is, that Old
lack will be called upon to say "yea' or "nav''
10 that eternal proviso, unless he shall contrlve to
induce the people of California TO do the work for
the selves In the interim.
We are satisfied that if brought TO the question.
Henry Clay will vote with Mr.. Benton n terrific
rul bill for California, for the exclusion of slavery
NIL doomsday That will pass the bill and Gea.
Taylor has other left him than sign it.
unless he shall assume TO be better expoundrr Of
the constitution than Webster, Benton, or Clay;
ior unless satisfied of the unconstltutionaity of
bill passed by Congress, Gen Taylor says he will
sign ~, ana ms, we suppose, applies as well to a
provision excluding slavery from, as to an article
tor admitting II INTO, "a territory.
1t Is reasonable, therefore, to conclude, that
less Cal fomia shall send State constitution
embracing the proviso, for the consideration Of Con-
work in territorial bill, and that Gen. Taylor will
sign 1t.
One of these two modes, we think, is inevitable
The former is perfectly easy and would he prrfect-
ly satisfactory all sections the latter has the ha-
zard about it Of leading to the complete dslocatiop
of the two political parties as they now exst-a dis
location which would extend to the cabinet and
lead 10 the necessity of general reorganization.
We shall watch, in the meantime, to see if the adj
mnstraton is disposed to aid the people Of Cafor-
MIA to prevent all these hazardous results. w.
