as the most prominent and odious feature Of aris-

Indeed, it is considered by too many Of both
parties that a long continuance in the profitable
offices and high trusts of the Stale, Pounds a claim

same, or promotion to higher stations. This is
very anti-democratic, unjust, and highly danger
Gus to our institutions. Instead Of viewing q
long tenure of Office as furnishing q claim and
qualification for further continuance in It, il
should be considered a disqualifying circhm-

THE GREE SOIL" MOVEMENT.

In our judgment, the viiest and most disreput-
able instance of ingratitude which this country
ever witnessed, was the conspiracy entered into
against the South by Van Buren, and his asso-
|%ciates, without the shadow Of principle upon
which to base il, and without one solitary feeling
or aspiration worthy Of a statesman--ard with
no conceivable purpose, other than revenge and
the qualification Of a miserable personal hostility
to a successful rival. That thousands and thou
sands Of honest men in every portion of the
north, were deceived by their pretcnce of devo-
tion to Free Soil, we cheerfully admit: but that
the leaders of that party had one solitary feeling
in harmony with their profession--one single as
~piralion in behalf of iberty--one earthly desire
to see the march Of slavery atrested--is denied
by their whole past lives. Their sole object was
revenge and the punishment Of the south for hav-
ling repudiated them-..their only aspiration for
The future, d hope that by misleading an honest
people and tampering with their natural hostility
10 human slavery, they might possibly get new
access to those fesh-pots which haG 50 long been
their delight, and after which they longed as did
the Israelites of old. Vile and h~eartless as are
the schemings, and turnings, and twistines Of the
mere politicians---degrading as are the political
practices, the constant frauds and disgusting
|tTickery Of the man who knows no principle but
party, no friend but his co.laborer in iniquity---
he was and is q Prince, in comparison with the
man who in addition to all this recklessly seized
upon a subject for the qualification Of his revenge,
the success Of which necessarily involved, to q
greater OF less extent, the very existence Of our
glorious Union.
We are not, and never have been, the advo-
Gates Ct Slavery. We know it as il is, and would
|%conine it where it is. But il is a part and par
|cel of our Union it existed in nearly every
State of this confederacy when that Union was
formed, it he'd its rights then and il has them now;
it was then q State Institution, and it is so now.
1t was recognized as such by our Constitution;
and the great and good and pure men who framed
that sacred instrument, and who knew alike the
evils Of Slavery and the blessings of Union,
weighed one against the other, and determining
that Union was all and all to US and to the cause
of civil and religious liberty throughout the world,
wisely and periodically determined--that Union
Nth Slavery was better than dis.union and fnde-
pendent confederacies with Slavery to boot
And they, therefore, determined wisely and pat
lriotically that it shsnld be as it is---recognized
and projected within the boundaries of the sew
eral States where it exists, and. entitled TO be rep
resented in the Legislature and Executive Coun.

THE CHOLERA's FAREWELL.

BY ANU ~GAsQUoINE.
Oh, harken! the land is merry again,
The cities are teeming with ~soulless men;
No longer the plague with its thunder tread
is strewing the streets with its daily dead:
With souIess men! Can it beP BewaTei
There are waiting words on the midnight air,
While, louder and longer abGve them all,
Fen yet ye may hear his far foot fall.
Ye may hear him busy in distant lands
Tapping the top of their life times sands;
Ye may hear their vail when they cry aloud,
As he sweeps along with a c~orseless shroud;
Ye may hear their moan as its fatal fold
Holds parley neither with rank nor gold;
Ye may hear it fall from a foreign shore,
Fitfolly chime with the oceans roar.
"Aud what if we do?" says a thoughtless few,
"We're far too busy TO think Of you;-
We're busy a-laying our goods in store,
We've much already, but must have more:
Trouble US not, we're sorry indeed
Could you only see our bcsons bleed,
You'G know it, you'd know it, but trouble US not
Lest even a penny should be forgot"
And busy they are ; just gaze abroad,
Fen those whose spirits were lately awed;
And merry they are whose accents stroke
Yesterday as e'on from a palsy broke.
But see! they tarry,-an icy hand
Is on their shoulder, and bids them stand;
Aud harkl a voice 10 each trembling knee
ga parting word have I get for thee! !"
"Oh. 1 was brought up TO a thrifty trade,
Whose only tools are the pick aud spade;
I've learned it well in the fearful land,
And lately Tor sport have tried my hand
Full many q grave I've dug, ye know,
Laughing the while at your pulling woe;
I'm digging them now meath q milder sun,
But may soon be again where l first begun.
'sThe sower must wait full many q day,
Must furrow his field through noontide's ray,
Must watch the weather, and long at night
For the shower that stays the early blight:
Whatever his hurry, must leave the ground,
When the shadows Of darkness close around;
But night or day, be it storm or shine,
Oh, a thriller trade by far is mine!
ssTho,igh cruel 1 seem when I wanton where
The flowers of earth are frsil and fair
Though cold I may be when my clammy touch
Grasps young and old in its greedy clutch:
Remember yet that I often hear
And answer the plea of the prayerful tear;
Remember, too, that I heard YOUR cry,
And plying passed Il in mercy BY.
"Remember it well, and give the praise
To Him whose bidding NY arms obeys;
And question ye of as the still night-fall,
IL ye've learnt the lesson l brought to all
De up and doing, be thoughtful too,
As when l followed my trade with youi
Oh, live no longer like soulless men,
Or, sooa / may follow that trade sgain!"
