A Fairy Tale.

o did you not hear in your nursery,
The tale that the gossips tell, .,.-..
oftwo young girls that came to d rink
At certain fairy well2
The words Of the younger were as sweet
As the smile of her ruby lip;
But the tongue of the elder seemed to move
As if venom were on its tip. ',- s.
At the well asbeggar aceosted them,
IA sprite in mean disguise,)
The eldest spake with q scornfd1 brow
The youngest with fearful eyes.
Cried the fairy, whenever you speak, sweet cir
Pure gems from your lips shall fall;
But VIII eneyer you utter word, proud maid,
From your tongue shall a serpent crawl
And have you not met with these sisters oft,
In the haunts of the old and young;
The first with her pure unsullied lip.
The last with her serpent tongue!
The first is good nature-diadems bright,
Der the darkest theme she throws
And the last is stander, leaving the blight
OF the snake wherever she goes.

rs oHEDIEMcE TO GOD. ."-THonAs JEFFERSON
RAVENNA OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 849

Go and peruse the 81 ld details of that
shameful transactioa 3hich transpired a
few weeks since in grea, Keystone
State, and then ask y fselves if you will
sustain system of eiection' to enable
such a class of men tSatten upon the blood
of the toilers--and eases combinations of
capitalists to exercise arbitrary power
over deGenceless fenfls &c mpelling them
to exhaust their plSssicss energies in their
seaviee, zsas tllsla useultiyat-
ed and lost to themselves and to the world,
dragging out life almost as intolerable as
Southern slavery. The slavery Of the
South is abominable in the eyes Of God
and feeling men, and at this time is depre-
Gated by the entire North and West. Yet,
how can we expect or ask the South 10 a.
bolish slavery while such evils are among
us, such slavery exists at cur own DOORS
That slavery will be abolished, and at no
distant day, have no doubt; and that eve
ry kind Of tyranny over the mind of man,
in the way of special corporations, pro,ec.
tive systems, in short, human slavery OF
every kind, will be hurled from power by
the majesty of the people, and then will
these false doctrines and theories be only
known as the great evils ofthis age And
let me here say that in order to get Fid of
these and all great evils, you must educate
the rising generation, diffuse light ana
knowledge among men Of all creeds and
colors, and we are safe. And cannot nj
this time suggest any better way for your
State than to make law taxing the entire
property of the State to support system of
common schools. If one twentieth part of
the time was spent in devising means for
the education Of your children that is spent
in special and unjust legislation to build up
capital in the hands of the few, not a sim
gle individual in the State would be out OF
the reach ofa good English education, and
it remains with the people to say whether
they will have good W holesome laws, or
whether they will wear the yoke little
longer and groan under its CALLING weight
NJ Methinks can see feFtt1e distant future the
upheaving elements which are converging
together to wipe out these foul blots upon
our State and national escutcheons

% Allegheny County is Whig, and
she issued batch of Shinplasters; the city
of Pittsburgh is whig, and she delaged the
country with shinplas:ers; the city of Alle-
gheny is whig, and she emitted this abom-
inable "currency," to swindle the commu-
nifty. Now, suppose these three bodies
were under Democratic government, and
had put into circulation this vile, abomina-
bic, illegal trash, TO defraud the laborer, the
widow and the orphan, what would the
whig papers say! Why, they would thun-
der like Olympian Jove, and denonnce the
Democrats with all the venom and bitter
ness of their malignant natures. But the
wings are responsible for the issue of
S.inplasters in this county, and in the two
cities; and upon that party mus, rest all
the odium Of the illegal and disgracelul
measure. Let the working men who have
been swinded out of a portion of their hard
earnings never vote for whig for any
Office hereafter. This is their only secu-
rity. Pittsburgh Post.
