NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE.
Sung by the Democrats OF 1850, and most humbly
addressed to the "People Of Pottawattamie.'
TusE-ssCarry ne beck to Old virginia.'
Come back, come back, into the fold
From which you strsyed before,
And we will give you thanks untold,
And praise you evermore.
You cannot think how much we've sighed
Ger that disaster sore,
Which lured you from our tender arms
To find another shore.
Chovxs.-Oh! you shdIl choose the latest place
With PROFITS running DER,
Ifyou'n only come back into the ranks
And stay forever more.
'Tis true that We did steal the book
To hide from every eye,
And swore that you were aHsns al
Or ~anderers passing by
That minors were allowed to vote,
Whose years wsre not score,
And MoRMoss,(:) too, into the box
Illegal votes did pour.
Chsvss-But, OIL come back and you shall I'll
The place you filed before,
For our hearts are sad while still we think
That dark disaster DER.
IT'S true, we could not then permit
Pour votes to swell the list,
But that twas done all for the best
We humbiy must insist!
We could not bear the dreadful thought,
That Thompsoa Ahould explore,
Those scenes In distant Washington,
Which Miller would deplore.
CAevus-oh, then cosps back, and in your lap
The shtt'ring gold shall pour
That "Treasusy .psp" We love 80 much,
And seek on every shore.
And now We do confess oar fault
With sorrowful tears and signs,
And WOO you back to the fold again
Where all your treasure lies.
Nyoc'u but pardon what is past
And icin With US once more,
Then We all shall be the happest men
On Tines wave-Seaten shore.
thorss-Then DO come back with open arms
Well welcome TO the store
We've striven by eve,y means to keep
OH come to the ranks once more.
Spoken.-oh, do come my dear fellows-we were
greatly mistaken IN yeur characters at the last
lection, but since then We have learned to love you
like very brothers. We hare great need Of your
sstanee, and with il We have no doubt we shall be
able to bsst tie WAiss terribly. A to the old affair,
After We have secured friend Thompson il his seat,
we will satisfy you that all done Nth the best
inss~sions 90 my dear fellows, don't bear malice,
now, don't-we have very sincere respect for

endorsements under which they were suffering
and seeing no probability of any change the sub.
unexamped unanimity and promrtitude, the only
course which lay open to them-the immediate for
nation Of State government.
They were induced to take this step not only for
the reason that it promised the most speedy remedy
for present difficulties, but because the great and
rapidly growing interests of the Territory dem md
ed it; and all rejecting men saw, at a glance, that
it ought not to be any longer, and could not under
any circumstances, be much longer postponed.
They not only considered themselves best quail
fed, but that they had the right to decide, far as
they we're concerned, the embarrassing question
which shaking the Union to its centre, and had
thus far deprived them Of regularly organized civ
il government. They believed that, in forming q
constitution, they had right to establish or pro-
hibt slavery, and that, in their action as State,
they would be aimed by the north and the south.
They were not unmndfu Of the fact, that while
northern statesmen had contended that Congress
has power to prohibit slavery in the Territories
they had always admitted that tho States of the
Union had the right to abolish or establish il at
pleasure.
On the other hand, southern state men had almost
unanimously commended that Congress has not the
constitutional power to prohibit slavery in the Ter
rtores, because they have not the power to essab-
Hsh it; but that the people, in forming govern.
ment for themselves, have the right to do either
If Congress can rightfuy do one, they certain

This is the doctrine put forth by Mr. Calhoun, in
his celebrated resolutions of is47 ntr oduc into
the Senate Of the United States, among which is the
following:
"Resofred, that it is fundamental principle in
our political creed, that people in forming con-
stitution have the unconditional right to form and
adopt the government which they may think hes
calculated to secure their liberty, prosperity, and
happiness; and in conformity thereto, other

The argument in the case Of George II. Hick-
man, on the other counts, which the verdict Of
quttal last week did not embrace, was begun this
morning, but, as the evidence in connection with
these does not materially differ from that in the
others, an acquittal must be the result. ] am
gratifed at this, as every Baltmorean must be,
because Of the reputable standing which Mr.. Hick-
man has hitherto maintained, and the equally ire
proachable standing Of his respected father.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad seems to be in a
high state Of prosperity, far we can infer from
the business done. For the month Of December,
there transported that road II 1852 tons Of
merchandise and 46, 9o4 barrels of -four, l4l hogs
heads Of tobacco, and 3l6 barrels Of whisky-s
large amount Of business for dull a month.
When the road shall be completed to the Ohio, we
may look for an unlimited amount Of business.
