Hon. Edmund Burke.

The fact that this distinguished and able
politician, and strong and brilliant writer, has
retired from The editorial department of the
Union newspaper, is already known, and
deeply regretted, by the democratic party of
the nation. Mr.. Richie, The senior editor
of the Union, in announcing Mr.. Burke's
withdrawal, thus becomingly acknowledges
the services of his late associate -
The senior editor of the Union can
not part with his able associate without ex-
pressing the gratitude which he feels for his
services, and the admiration which he enter
tains for his abilities, principles, and energy.
MIR. Burke is one of the ablest and most
decided champions Of the democratic faith in
this country; and the fact is attesIed by The
numerous and powerful articles which have
emanaied from his pen since he was connect
ed with the Union. He carries with him our
best wishes for his prosperity and happiness.
No one can better appreciate his merits, or
the loss of his superior talents to the columns
OF our paper. But the senior editor along
with his present able associate, who remains
TO cooperate with him in the labor of conduct
ing his paper, will spare no pains TO repair,
as far as possible, the loss of Mr.. Burke
We shall grid up our loins with still more
| energy for the arduous task which is before
US; and though we have fallen upon evil
times, we do not despair of satisfying ouI
liberal countrymen. If we cannot command
success, we will at least try to deserve it.

Luck.

Rev. H. w. Beecher says the following in
one Of his lectures:-I may here as well as
anywhere, lmpart the secrets of good and
bad luck. There are men, who supposing
Providence to have an implacnble spite
against them. bemoan 10 the poverty of
wrelched old age, the misfortunes Of their
lives. Luck forever runs against them, and
for others. One, with good profession, lost
his luck in the river, where he idled his
time away, fishing, when he should have
been in his office. Another, with good
trade burnt up his luck BY hot-iemper, which
provoked his employers TO leave him.
Another who steadily followed his boitIe.-
Another, who was honest, constant at his
work, erred by perpetual misjudgments; he
lacked discretion. Hundreds lose their luck
by endorsing; by sanguine specuIations; by
trusting fraudulent men and by dishonest
gains. A man never has good luck who has
a bad wife. never knew an early rising,
hard-working prudent man careful of his
earnings, and strictly honest, who complained
of bad luck But when see tatterdemal-
lion. creeping out of a grocery late in an af-
ternoon, with his hand stuck into his pockets,
The rim of his hat turned up, and the crown
knocked in, know he has bad luck for the
worst of all luck is to be sluggard, knave,
or tippler.

have Just conversed with number of
Creoles of Cuba, direct from Havana, whose
version Of the state of affairs, and the state
of feeling in that Island, fatty contradict The
grandlloquent statements put forth by the
Sun. According TO their accounts, the plant
ers and business men Of Cuba-the only ma
terial that can make revolutions anywhere
do not sympaihize with the Lopez movement
10 the extent that is generally believed
Many Of them are in favor of a peaceable
annexation to our Union, but have not the
slightest idea Of periIing life or property to
attain that object but the majority do not
care two straws whether they are ruled by
his Excellency, Zachary Taylor, or her most
Catholic Majesty, Queen Isabella. They are
rich, indoIent, ford of ease and garlic, and as
long as their personal liberty is not trenched
upon, the noble Count OF Alcoy is at liberty
to issue as many proclamations and edcts
as his SECRETARY can find time to draw up
In regard to the present attempt to overthrow
the vice regal government they feel quite
confident that il will terminate, if it has not
already terminated, in a ridiculous, if not u
bloody failure. They believe that the island
will be kept in state of uncertainty and dis
quiet for several years to come.

IRON CHTMNEYs. We were interested a
few days since in examining new plan OF n
chimney invented by Andrew Clerk, Esq, of
this city, and now in operation in his new
houses in Grand st. The chimneys are OF
iron cylindrical iD form-seveD inches in
side diameter, and weigh about IA pounds
per foot-at a cost Of cents pound. The
cylinder is enclosed i'll chamber, from which
by means of registers, current of warm air
may be thrown into and warm the upper
apartments of the house. A contrivance is
also added for the evaporation of water to
give healthtul moisture TO The air.
The top of the chimney is very neat. The
cost of each chimney complete aud put up
in the house Of Mr. Clerk, was, with the reg
isters and fixtures, SI0S-rhere being three
stacks, two stacks would of course cost pro-
portionally less.
The great advantage Of the iron chimney,
seems to be It's comparatively light weight.
ln building upon the meadows where piles
must be driven for The foundation, the great
weight Of the brick chimney almost always
throws the house out of the perpendicular
line.
We think that the iron chimney will also
be emnently safe-as the joints are perfect
and finally, it must drap ,cell, and moreover
leaves plenty of room for closets.-Jersey

MISCELLANY N Y.
General Lopez.

As Gen. Lopez, from his connection with
the Cuban expedition, has become histori~
cal character, we take the following partieu-
lars of his life from sketch condensed by the
Bulletin from the N. 0. Delta:
Narcisco Lopez is now rather over fifty
years Of age, having been born of wealthy
parents in 1898 or 9. He is native of Vene-
zuela. His father being obliged by civil dis
turbances to remove to Caraccas, where he
entered upon commercial life. his son Mar
ciso superintended branch Of the House Of
Valencia, in the interior. Here, during the
troubles of Bolivar's time in 1914, young Lo-
pei took a prominent part on the popular
side, and narrowly escaped from massacre
At leugth, when reduced almost TO despera-
ton, he enlisted in the army, as his only
chance for life. At the end Of the war be.
tween Spain and the insurgents, Lopez found
himself colonel, at the age Of twenty
three. He had also received the cross oi
San Fernando, as further reward for vari-
Gus gallant deeds during the war. On the
evacuation of the country by the Spanish
army, Col. Lopez removed to Cuba.
Since that time, (1s23) Lopez has been a
Cuban, having married and established him.
self in the island. He was known 10 be pos.
sessed Of liberal principles, which prevented
him from obtaining office in the island, and
thus remained in retirement. During the
first of the Carlist troubles in Spain, Lopez
happened to be in Madrid with his wife, uIg
| ing private claim on the Government. He
distinguished himself on the Government
side was made first aid-de-camp 10 the
Chief, Gen. Valdez, and re-
ceived several military decorations. He be-
came the warm personal friend of Valdez
who was afterwards the most popular Capt
General of Cuba. He was for time Com
mander-in Chief of the National Guard o
Spain,and subsequently COMMANDMENT Chic
OF several provinces. Afterwards he became
Senator from Seville, but the expulsion o

ed him, and resigning his Office, he departed

Slave Property.

The ultra southern politicians claim that
they have the rig gbt 10 carry their negro
slaves into the territories of California and
New Mexico, and hold those negroes as
slaves there and that TO deny this claim is
both an injury and an insult 10 effect they
claim the right to carry the local law of the
the state whence they emigrate into the ter.
ritories and to enforce il there by individual,
instead Of legislative authority, and that this
individual authority shall he paramount to
the legislative power of the territories. If
they have right to carry slaves to the terri
tories and hold them as slaves, because they
are property by the local law of the state
whence they migrate, then they would have
an equal right to carry all the local laws Of
the state regulating the slaves-the criminal
code, their competency as witnesses. the dis.
position of their children, the mode of their
manumission into the territories, in defiance
of the laws ofthe territories. Now, of the
fifteen slave states there are no Two whose
laws, in all these particulars, are precisely
alike, and TO admit the grounds claimed by
the south, the territories might find fifteen
different slave codes enforced by private au
thority within their borders, and all not only
WITH but in defiance of their Legislative pow
err. Nay, more, the stakeholder has no more
right to translate his slave law to the terri.
tory than others have to carry their other To-
cal laws, regarding property, into the terri
tories-nor more than they would have to
carry all other laws there.
Suppose individuals from the various
states, like the STAKEHOLDER, should insist on
carrying each his local law into the territory;
the Massachusetts man, in his contracts,
would demand six per cent. interest, the
New Yorker seven, the Ohio man ten per
cent, and SO OIL ofthe whole thirty states
So of the marriage law-the New Yorker
would claim the right to marry bis niece-
the New England man the right 10 marry the
sister Of his deceased wife While the Vir-
ginian would pronounce them both as decid-
edly incestuous and the strict Catholic
would denoupce the Virginia law, allowing
the marriage of first cousins, as equally re.
pugnant, except by priestly dispensation, to
good taste, good morals, and good religion !!
The like diversity would be found in the dif>
ferent states in regard to the laws of inheri-
tance. And most certainly if the claim of
The STAKEHOLDER to carry his negro into the
territory, and hold him as property, be valid
and right, then every other state law in re-
gard 10 property, could be carried into the
territory by individual authority, and the peo-
pie there would find thirty different codes,
from other states, each paramount the law
of the territory. In this view of the case, it
would seem that the claim Of the slavehold-
ers is an insult to their own underst andings
and to the common sense Of mankind. The
only parallel to this absurdity is the irnposi-
ton of the English common law upon Mas
sachusetts, without any legislative authority,
and in defiance of the most explicit constilu-
tional guarantees. Boston Post.

SUpERsrIrIoNs REGARDING FRIDAY. Ii is
strange enough that Friday is regarded in all
countries, as peculiar day. In England it
is generally considered unucky, and many
people will not commence any undertaking
on that day: and most sailors believe that the
vessel is sure to be wrecked that sails on a
Friday. II marriage takes place on that
dav, the old wives shake their heads and pre-
dict all kinds OF misfortune to bride and
bridegroom, nay, they even pity all children
who are so unlucky as 10 be born on Friday.
In Germany OH the contrary, Friday is con-
sidered a lucky day for weddings, commence
ing new undertakings, or other memorable
events and the reason OF this superstition
is said TO be the ancient belief that witches
and sorcerers held their meetings on this
day, and of course, while they amused them-
selves with dancing and riding on broom
sticks round the Blocksberg, they could have
no time to work any evil.

Gus political troubles Of Spain, Lopez held
different posts Of honor and emolument in
the island, but at length he resigned all ex-
cept his rank as General, and then undertook
the working of an abandoned copper mine, as
pretext for returning to the Central Depart
ment. Here he began to mingle with the
people and concert plan for the liberation
of Cuba. The enterprise Of last year. which
miscarried SO completely, was The result of

From the Louisville Journal.
The Spring of Life is Past.


The spring of life is past
With its budding hopes and fears,
And the autumn tine is coming
With its weight of weary years;
Our joyousness is fading, .---
Our hea are dimmed with care,
And youth fresh dreams of gladness
All perish darkly there.
While bliss was blooming near US
In the hearts first burst Of spring.
While many hopes could cheer us,
Life seemed glorious thing
Like the foam upon the river, ...
When the breeze goes rippling DER,
These hopes have fed for ever, ....
To come to US no more.
'Tis sad-yet sweet-to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell;
And we think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so we'll;
TO gaze out on the even,
And the boundless fields of air,
And We feel again our boyhoods wish,
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past
And from that tomb of feeling,
Old thoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we loved so dearly
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens
Who seemedso formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this;
Whose soft, dark eyes seemed swimming
In a sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
Der brows so sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time of the year
Like the changeful CLEANS of April,
They followed every tear;
They have passed, like hope, away;
All their loveliness has fed
Oh many heart is mourning,
That they are with the dead.
Like the brightest buds of summer,
They have fallen from the stem;
Yet oh il is lovely death,
To fade from earth like them
And yet the thought is saddeninS,
To muse on such as they
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away;
That the fair ones whom we love,
Like the tendrlls of the vine,
Grow closely to each loving heart,
Then perish on their shrine!
And yet we can but think of these
In soft and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving o'er us,
And flowers are blossoming;
For we know that winters coming,
With his cold and stormy sky,
And the glorious beauty round US
Is.budding but to DIE.
