The Return of Prosperity and the Board
of Trade

Now matters arc mending; now exports as
cending,
Cause Business to caper and Credit TO crow
Our fisheries are rising in manner surprising,
And butter is moving, and cheese on the 20
Up cordago has gotten, and fabrics Of cotton
Exhibit an increase delightful to sec;
Glass; hardware, and pottery, with drapery
silk'shoItery,
And leather, are doing as well as may be.
Our dealings in linen give proof of spinning
Which all Europe's spiders can't equal us
in;
We've sold the world metals for sauccpans and
kettles,
And had a pioportonate influx of tin.
With colors for dying and painters supplying
We're driving trade very hattcring to hope
Which consideration affords consolation
For not having been quite so well off fol
soap.
Despite contradiction, without any fiction,
Our stationery has advanced we may say;
The woollen trade lastly, is prospering vastly
The inference we draw from these facts is
Hooray Punch.

how a rag OF us can hang together. Look

While vcercd the wind and tapped the sail
We saw snow white butterfly
Dancing before the iitful gale,

Then futtcred o'cr the waters blue,

Beneath, the boundlcss ocean sheen
Between them danced the butterfly
The spirit-life in this vast scene,

No more will dance before the morn,

be both satisfactory and advantageous
to their constituents. To do this, how
ever, they must meet together as pa
triols, in the spirit of Cass and Clay,
Webster and Dickinson-the spirit Of
concession and honorable compromise.
The Democrats will not ask for, or sub
nit TO, any thing that is not fair and
inst; nor is it reasonable to suppose that
the course of the Wings will be diff
fercnt. Let each party do The clean
thing, and Benton will die. 1t is a mat
ter of secondary Importance, whether
his successor be whig or democrat,
so he will stand by the Constitution, the
union as it is, and the equal rights Of
the States of which it is composed.
Why, before the election, The wings.
of this District, especially, were de-
nounced as Free Soiers, by the Metro
pOluan: now. they are patriots! The
Benion.men arc now the free soilers-
mere factonists, while The wings, Will.
ON free soilers, are fit to unite with
democrats, do the clean thing. and
vote for Jackson, Morrow, or CLARK,
we suppose. That is what the Metro
politan would consider the clean thing
no doubt.
1sit not amusing TO hear these rotten
scamps' calling upon wings to save
them from the wrath of Benton! If the
wings had it in their power TO kill Ben

would do it, just now. The prospec
for fun is too hatterins 1t will be SC
amusing to see old Bullion lashing the

when they thought they ,could be ih'

POWELL'S PICTURE FOR THE

it has interested us, we dare say il

"At Mr.. Healey's the American ar
