The Fugitive Siars BiA--ils Execution the true
TEST of The Union

The Fugitipe Siape Bil--its Execution the true
Test of the Union.
The spirit of opposition manifested in Western
Pennsylvania, New York city, and Springfield,
Massachusetts, to the execution of the Fugitive
Slave Bill, points to the true test of the perma-
hence of our Union. Those Southern men, who
now advocate Disunon, declare the belief that
the public sentiment of the free States is so hos
tile to slavery as to make it impossible for the
slaveholding States to protect their rights under a
common Government. If this opinion of the
strength of Northern prejudices were acquiesced
in generally by the Southern people, there would
be. and ought to be, no hope of preserving the
Union. But, up to this time, very few in the
South have been able to persuade themselves of
the incompatibility of Northern and Southern SEN
timents The extremists of the North now
threaten rebellion to law of Congress- which
does nothing more than guarantee our undeniabe
rights. If the mass of the people do not dis
counenance these threats, and do not manifest
their purpose to respect the law, the value of tn e
Union will begin to be calculated in earnest
Here is an issue about which there cannot be
two Southern opinions

The circling skies Of aEure.tinted hue,

And am one of Natures worshippers

The gorgeous rainbow in the armament
With varied beauty charms the gaEer's heart;
Forming arch of Natures perfect whole
A sense of pleasure doth IL not impart
And many hail Il with thankful strain,
And bless its bright bow after soaking rain;
But eale-Sal
There is rainbow in a painted gal
The yellow grain in midsummer looks sweet
Its golden colors beautify the earth;

But had its beauty from its very birth.
And, as we see IL waving in the breeze,
What thoughts arise Of plenty peace and ease!
But Sallie-Sal!
What do we think to see painted gal
My own plain thoughts I'll candidly confess,
And the disclosure do not deem unkind:
did not think that rougeing your forte

But since our bridal twas a crael stroke,
And now I'll break the inauspicious yoke

Lines ON the Death of Gen. Taylor.

BY GEO. W. S. NICHOLSON.
Toll the bella nations mourning
Toll the bell for glory's son,
He has gone; but left his country
All the laurels he had won.
Sing requiem for the hero,
Still and silent is his breath;
Never yet has he surrendered
Till his summons came from Death
Weep in anguish, soldiers, comrades,
Ye who shared his battle field;
Nevermore he'll sound the 'larum;
Neyermore hell strike the shield.
Rests his spirit in the shadow
Of the heavenly martial band;
Friends and foemen gather round him
In the blessed spirit land,
He has passed from worldly battles,
Gone where glory waits the chief
Who has, living, done his duty;
Left his country drowned in grief.
Let our tears, incessant flowing.
Dropping mournful to the earth,
Speak the sad and silent requiem
Due his great and honored worth.
