is there not, would ask the candid read

this sublime songslress? Should She, because
a foreigner, and has folded her wings upon
our shore IN regale MS with her war
blings he made the Goddess Of every music

and the text Of every essay? Should she he

of every would-he-iameus poet or should her
name grace every petty advertisement from
that of the CoRbler 10 the Boot-black.
do not imagine that the songstp'ss, her

They voted for it with the view OF securing

cess of the slave interests in the late Con
gress in securing the Fugitive Slave Bill,and
| in defeating the admission Of New Mexico as
free State, .oyfully predicts the success of
the locoioco party in 1852. The Unions
predictions may possibly be verified; but ii
will find that tfI6uplrTts party once triumph

rnurir some progress during tho hast six or

some rotten planks in its pro-slavery platform
that will prove the ruin of all its bright an
