60, with. 40 manifest on increase Of the
capital Of the country as to indicate per-
manent reduction in the rent paid for its
use. No better proof Of the great Prospe-
rity of,the country can be adduced than
the fact that, for the first time in our COM
mercial history, a revulsion in England,
unrivalled in severity, has past in the last
two years without making itself felt ut all
upon this side Of the Atlantic.
From system Of strict exclusion at the
close of the last century, England has,
under the influence, direct and indirect of
the United States policy, modified her ma
'vigation laws, her colonial laws, her COM
mercial laws, and has now abandoned her
corn laws, and established reciprocal
postal intercourse, is about to abandon her
navigation act, and must soon relinquish
her colonies. The steady progress OF the
commercial principles so successfully car
ried out BY the outgoing administration,
has immensely enlarged the markets Of
our sale. As an indication Of this fact,
the quantity Of American produce sold and
carried abroad in American vessels has
been progressively as follows:

Our old brown homestead reared it, walls

whsre the apple boushs could almost cast
Their fruitase on ito roof
And the cherry trees so near 1t grew
That, whom awake pve lain
In the lonesome night, I'VE heard the lis-os
A they cracked against the pane;
And those orchard tress-0 these orchard trees'
pve seen my little brothers rocked 4.
In their tops BY the summer breeze.s
The sweet briar under the window sill, -
Which the early birds made glad,
And the damask rose by the garden fence,
Were all the flowers we had
pve lookedon many flower since then,
Exotics rich and rare;
That in other eyes were lovelier,
But not to me SO fair;
For those roses bright-those roses bright
pve twined them with my sisters locks,
That are lain in the dust from sight.
We had well--a deep old we'll
Where the spring was never dry,
Anu tue COOL IIUpS uUWu rum SIlC uioScS Ssouc
Were falling constantly;
And there never was water half so sweet,
As that in ny little cup,
Drawn fronft the curb by the rude old sweep
Which my fathers hand set up:
Aad that deep old well.-o that deep old well!
remember yet the plashing sound
OF the bucket as it fell.
Our homestead had an ample hearth.
Where at night we loved to meet:
Where my mothers voice was always kind,
And her smile was always sweet;
And Pve sat on my fathers knee,
And watched his thoughtful brow,
With my childish hand in his raven hair
That hair is silver now!
But that broad hearth's ight-O that broad
hear*h's light
And my fathers look, and my mothers smile,
They are in my heart tonight.

An ELoQUEsr FIerRE.--the Mecklen-
burg Jefferson, says:-" Like one OF those
wondrous rocking stones reared by the
Druids, which the finger Of child might
vlbra!e 10 its centre, yet the might Of an
army could not move from its place, our
constitution is 50 nicely poised and balsn-
eed, that it seems to sway with every
breath Of opinion, yet SO firmly rooted in
the heart and affections Of the people, that
the widest storms oftreason and fanaticism
break over it in vain.'' sd

PRovIDEsTIaL.-The> discovery of the
letters duplicating the owners OF the ship
Franklin in the design of destroying that
ship is certainly very remarkable yea,
providential-and most iorcibly illustrates
the doctrine Of a special, overruling provi-
dence in the affairs of the world. WHY
should the captain have preserved those
letters, to be swift witnesses against him
and his employers? Why should that va
lise, containing them, have been washed SO
safely ashore?Why should man have been
on the beach just as the valise reached the
shore and without seeing the article, have
drawn it out on casting his hook into the
water? What kept those letters, placed in
valise, SO exposed to the water, from
being entirely destroye ed? and what induced
the finder Of them to take so much pains to
save,dry, and read them9
The only rational answer to the whole
is-that wise and experimenting Prov
idence presided over all, and brought these
purposes Of fraud and villainy to light, as
warning to others, and an illustration of
that truth SO often proclaimed to tile secret
sinner-Be sure your sin will find you out.

Under the high tariff Of 1912 the ex-
ports, or sales Of national produce did not
increase. But they have since done so
largely, and the tonnage of American YES
sells have increased near 100000 tons
in six years. Following this increased
tonnage has been the increased employ
ment of all parties connected with the ma
rine, as well lumber growers and steve
dores, as ship builders and seamen, or
hemp growers and cordage makers. The
larger quantity Of produce to 60 abroad, of
goods to come home, by SO much is the
demand for American shipping increased.
Notwithstanding the liberality Of our trea-
ties, American vessels can overmatch all
opposition, and in its prosperity the hemp
grower Of Kentucky and the ship builder
Of Maine have mutual interest antago-
nistic TO the designs of the Greedy school
Of politicians, who would destroy those
great interests in order. to pander TO the
monopolies Of the tariff aristocrats.'
Though assailed and blackballed by po-
litical foes. as was never Thomas effer
son by the Federalists OF old though ae-
serted by false friends, actuated mainly by
selfish schemes and personal spleen and re-
venge, J K. Polk has pursued the even
tenor Of lis way, Drawing the elements Of
opposition from whatever quarter it came,
and devo,ing himself night and day to such
measures as were necessary TO vindicate
the honor and establish on a firm basis the
interests Of the country. He retires to
his home in the West, with free con-
science satisfied that he has done his
duty, and that be resigns bis high office,
leaving his beloved Union, great and pow
erful and prosperous at home, respected
and venerated abroad.
