They may die with the lock jaw"
Then Mr.. Harris comes to the streams the
bright pelIucd streams, which meander through
the green meadows with all the silvery sweetness
Of his own enhancing verse:
"The rivers and the creeks we name,
And likewise the drains and bitches,
First, Eel river we shall name
And from the east it issues.
"Tippecanoe we now pursue,
And hear its water rattle
AS it flows towards Lafayette
Where Harrison fought his battle"
"Deed s creek, n mighty stream,
All grown up with bushes,
As It flows down towards Keith 3 dam, ~
And onward west it pushes"
Aroused to the highest pitch Of poetic phrenZy,
Mr.. Harris here dusLes off in new ,!easure:
"The rest Of the streams all summed in one,
A mighty stream would nuke, sir
'Twould make ditch about twelve feet wide,
And about the same in depth, sir.
And as q climacteric our promising poet cx-
claims
"Now in conclusion we would say,
We neither beg nor borrow
IL you take this for what it's worth,
Wen give you better tomorrow
mise an impossihiIity
The Hooser State has many "bri ght particu-
lar star" in her poetcal conseIlation--and verify,
Mr.. Harris is one of 'em. The only wonder is,
that with all his heaven-born genius he doesn t
leave the classic shores Of Deed s creek and go TO
some large city and start an almanac!
EpIroRs IN Tue WRoNG LArrrupE.-Some few
Southern editors South, write with great seeming
Joy when they imagine they see some prospect OF
the settlement Of pending difficulties no matter a,
what sacrifice Of Southern pride, interest, and
honor, the settlement be made. They congratu-
lated themselves and their readers upon every
paragraph Of news which promised the passage of
the odious defunct Compromise, and now that
they are trying TO raise the defunc thing from the
dead, limb by limb, they cry out hurra, hurra,
glory, good news!' over every galvanic spusm,
each separate linn exhibits.
The Texas Boundary Bill, as one limb, is tenn
porarily revivlfed by the Senate, and they cry
out " huzza; well done for that" California is
rcxt made to relax from the rgdty Of death, ard
again they vociferate; and so on with everything
that adds an insult To the South, or asks her to
lend a voice IT, degrading herself.
We do not see what Southern editors see III
all these things to rejoice over No true friends
Of the South can they be. Nor do they compre-
bend what honor and right is. They can only
apologize for their conduct by naming what they
are ashamed to name, viz: That from such con-
tire submission, as Federalis,s, they confidently
expect Federal emolumenis or honors. The
smallest cur in the rack can bark, "union, Union,
settlement, settlement" so that he will have
hopes of crumb from the Federal table.
We do not know what these composed
Of, but would suppose that If their blood ana
Iyzed, would be found be constituted, at least
nIne parts out OF ten, Of the same current that
flowed in the veins of certain men ened TORIES,
during the Revolution. Hornets .MSt.
