smile upon its face, soft and honeyed accents upon its
lips, a heart all pity. and soul all love. II came
like the angel OF health upon a cholera hospital:
its breath was like the warm south wind from
bed of vioets Some thought the millennium had come
in very deed Some thought the oil of joy had leak
dent that great change had been effected, and that the
throbbing pulses OF freedom were about to settle down
in sweet and ba%y sleep But alas it was the si sleep
sleep of nightmares sleep of horrors and groans
of mprecatons and itful vengeance. Hardly had the
news Of the victory Of N9v ,ha s reached tn, the
native Americans OF Phladep hia thrown into
fusion by the blunt rebuke of the soldier President
by the cahedra declarations of the Integencer were
threatened and denounced Then the "no-pary" phase
of the administration changed in the twnklng of

The deuded democrats of Pennsylvania who had been
led believe that they were supporting second Wash
ngton suddenly found that they had made to say the
least OF it, great mistake They sacrificed consistency
for glory and found their recompense in puff OF stale
air The brother soldiers of the conqueror who made
him what he was not what he is, believed that they

that they have been IN error The hard handed demo-
crats unfortunately, who contributed to elect General
Taylor, will not be particularly well pleased with the
policy that removes their brethren in the mechanical
pursuits of life, and leaves the higher circles scarcely
rufed by the breeze OF vindcveness and destruction.

because we love Brutus less but that we love Rome
more, that deem it to be duty to speak boldly

There's classic aluson for you. brother Gales.

"HO hoary hunsman rest beside thy hounds, is the
first line of popular song at the present day. and we ad

movement OF that distinguished Commonwealth. The Sec

Saul-like, the evil fit should pass from him, and he
should forget to punish watchmen and messengers for
opinions sake. What noble occupation this for dis
