Br EMMA WOOD, OF
'Twers sweet IL we might think
Thy spirit fingered still
Amidst the shadows Of our home,
Secure from every i'll
Or, smiling from the realms above,
Watched DER the children Of thy love.
But selfish Is the thought,
For thou art with the blest;
We would not wish that mortal care
Should maj thy peaceful rest;
Nor call thee from thy joys on high,
To watch US with an angels eye.
We should not weep for thee,
Though oft we miss thy smile
And soo,hins vvieu, whose cheering wurds
Did off our cares beguile
Impnrting wisdom TO the last,
Borne from the records Of the past
l fain would sing thy praise
In numbers smooth and free
For thou vast ever pleased to hear
My simple minstrelsy;
But sorrow fingers round my heart,
Aud bids each cheerful thought depart.
And yet l knew thee not
Ere sickness laid thee low;
TIL age had dimmed thy burning eye,
And changed thy locks TO snow.
But still thy soul victorious rose,
And triumphed DER its earthly foes.
Thou vast a monument
OF minds unconquered power,
That could DER fell disease and pain,
In strength uubroken tower:
Bidding defiance to the blasts,
That Ger thee in their fury passed.
And Death hath only freed
The spirit naught could dim
Hath but the mortal letters burst,
To bear thee up to Him
From whom thy glorious being came,
Who formed thee for the ranks Of fame.
The husbands eyes are sealed,
The fathers voice is hushed;
Tho statesman's eloquence is stilled
That once SO freely gushed;
And young hearts throb with anguish now,
While sorrow clouds each youthful brow.
We loved the pleasant task,
When we could soothe thine hours
Of loneliness, by converse sweet,
And bring thee summer fioweri;
Or haten TO thy grateful words,
That woke the spirits sweetest chords.
1t seems as yesterday,
When all around was bright,
That thou vast gazing on the scene
With deep and pure delight
And speaking with prophetic strain,
OF time when flowers should bloom again.
These were thy touching words
my life is fading now,
Mid scenes so fair and beautiful
That gladness lights my brow -
But will ye think Of Father, when
Ye gather summer flowers AGAIN.
"For though he loves the flowers,
And sweeter human bloom,
His weary spirit longs to rest
He pineth for his home;
And ere this season come again,
VIII rest from every mortal pain"
Patapsco's daughters mourn
Thy loss, while fiowrets bloom,
And shed their fragrance on the air
That floats above thy tomb;
The classic waves thou loyed'st so WE'LL
Are saddened by a monrnfhl spell.
While future years glide on,
To us may 1t be given,
To emulate thy virtues here,
Then share thy home in heaven;
To know thee in its glorious throng,
And join in thy triumphant song.

From The Philadelphia North .american.
biography of a senior Editor.

II our memory Of political history serves us
rightly, there was period within the last fifteen
years when the present editor of the Washington
Union was among the most jealous admirers and
strenuous supporters of Distinguished citizen Who
resides at Undertook, and who figured with con-
siderable notorIety under the dynasty Of General
Jackson, We believe, too, when this lustrious
parsonage became the President Of the United
States, that the aforesaid senior editor enoyed the
honor Of being his sole organ in the great Locofoco
State Of Virginia; that he possessed his intimate
confidence and friendship; that their relations were
so close that all their inhrmities were mutually
known and forgiven; and that in the concoction Of
plans for lnvegng the masses, and the erection of
''platforms, !" there the best understanding be-
tween Mr.. Van Buren, and his spokesman. In
those days, il was "hat burglary" according to
the Richmond Enquirer, for any Wing TO assail
the principles Of the "Sage Of Lindenwald." He
was the purest OF PATRIOTS the rarest Of statesmen
and the first Of SAINTS in the Democratic calendar
IL does not become US TO inquire whether the editor
in question saw through the magnifying glasses OF
court favor, in thus exaung the merits and certify
ing the political orthodoxy Of his protector and pa
ron; ii is enough for to know that these asser-
tons are matter Of record and that we are at lib
ey to revive them for the edihcaton Of the editor
OF the Union.
Under the circumstances Of intimacy which 80
long subsisted, and deeply cherished be-
tween these parties, il may be fairly presumed that
no one outside Of their exclusive circle was so well
fitted for the important duty Of estimating the char
acter, approaching the virtues, and measuring the
merits Of each other, these gentlemen themselves
The eldest born Of ex-President Van Buren,
prompted by sense of gratitude for the services
rendered his parent by the senior editor Of the
Union, and animated at the same time by the aud-
able ambition Of leaving monument Of his literary
attaInments-hasr recently furnished the publicw

Something must be the matter with the
mails. The Locofoco papers south of
New York have not heard yet of the
union between the Free-Soilers, Abolition
lists, and Democrats, that has taken place
in Wisconsin, Connecticut, Vermont, and
New York. They even state, afirmatively,
that no such union has taken place; and
that the resolutions, letters and addresses
that TRUMAN SMITH has been circulating
in the South are all forgeries. What can
have become of the newspapers that ought
to have gone to the South, and carried all
this information How happens it that
they have all miscarriedl II is not pos
sible that the Locofoco editors of those
regions would have failed to call the in
dignant attention of their readers to this
"unhallowed combination and "disgust-
ing coalition" if they had received the
news.
So with the defalcations. None of the
Locofoco papers in any quarter have heard
of the defalcations Of MOORE and COLLINS
It cannot be that they underestimate the
sinfulness of stealing the public money
they who think it so great sin for any
body to have borrowed money of the United

reting out and exposing the frauds and
abuses that have been Practised. The
people demand this of the men they have
placed in power. We should he false to
our duty if we failed to give utterance to
the universal Wing sentiment, that for
bearance has ceased to be virtue.
We might add that the Wing party do
not bear with Indifference the insults aimed
at the President, and that they do not view
with Indifference the continuance in office
Of men who entertain the spirit of those
insults, and who are interested in conceal
ing the abuses which are SO plainly indi
