at the North by turning from a Wimot Proviso to

men enough opposed TO him iu his own party at the
North to prevent this. lie had better stand on his
present almost eternal fame the greatest constitu-
uonal lawyer and one ofthe very greatest men that
America has yet produced. The Presidency can
add nothing TO of his giant intellect. Let him
not suy his fame at this late period of his existence
by compromising the hts Of free labor in hope
to reach the White House, which the fate of Gen.
Cass should teach him that no Northern man truck

Aratient mouth, to take from scorn
The hook with bank notes baitedl
Its selt-complacent sickness shows
How thrift goes with the tawner-
An unctuous unconcern of all
Which nice folks call dishonori
A pleasant print to peddle out
In lands irlce and cotton;

Would make the artists fortune.
For Fame to thee has come unsought,
While others vany WOO her,

Since common models fails 'ein,

Saved Rome from sack of Brennus,
The braying of the prophets ass

In flowing locks and laughing eyes
The cunning mischief lurking.

How prompt vert thou to balk it,

For country or fol pocket!

But higher honor's due it;
