APRIL SONG.


The Spring Is coming-it Is
The snow Is melting away,
And birds which lied, as summer sped,
For fields more green and gay,
Have come again ie their native plain,
To cheer US with their song.
And they sit upon the forest-ir,e
And sing there all day long.
The Spring is coming isl
And flowers will soon be here,
With perfumes rare TO I'LL The mir
And bid our spirits cheer;
And the vernal grass viii spring
And the forest-tre look gny;
The hills shall ring with the songs we sing
This merry April day.
The Spring is coming-it is'
Let every hearI rejoice,
And LEI each tongue that ever sung
Chime In with natures voice;
Bid gloomy care and dark despair
And every III away,
And seek relief from every grief
On Natures holiday.

Third Congressional District.
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, ls49.

II will be seen from this recapitulation,
that we were in the minority in November
last, in each Of these Districts. We have
not yet received the official vote Of Monday
last, and cannot, therefore, tell whether
there has been any falling of on our side. ~
We hear there has been decided decrease
Of the Wing vote. But, admitting that there
was no decrease, It will be perceived
from the above statement, that nothing short
Of coalition between the Locofocos and the
Abolitionists could defeat us The coalition
between the natural allies Of the South
and the unnatural enemies Of Southern
Institutions" as the Union delights to style
the Democrats Of the North and the Adolf
tionists, is thus proved by figures, which
never lie. What will the Virginia Dem
ocrats say to this ! Will they repudiate
Abolition Democracy We call on our
Wing friends in Virginia and Alabama, and,
indeed, in all the Southern States, to note
the marriage between these two parties, and
to keep il standing before the eyes Of the
people !
The spirit Of bargain, intrigue and coalition
has not stopped here. The Locofocos and
Abolitionists Of the City Of New York have
united upon Van Shack, an ultra Adolf
ZIONIST for mayor We shall see whether
this new coalition will produce any fruit
1t is in the power Of our friends to pre-
vent it. viii they do it, or will they set
with folded arms and see themselves defeated
by the combined enemy We call on them
to rouse upto their danger and to unite their
energies in the common defence.
