SUNG BY MISS SANDfHSOSs
IT'S sweet as the summer, the night on the sea,
soft as an angels, the watch over thee,
Gentle ship! on the wave, when the heart is at
rest,
And fear, stilld with prayer, is asleep in the
breast;
And they that have left us, in spirit are fed,
The pasr unforgoiten, its tendrils are dead
o! Land, hol It's the tomb Of our grief and
our feal,
The Womb Of futurity's slumberine here,
The dash of the sea shows its guardian near.
There's tempest above us, 10 leeward we're
There's storm on the billow, and tempest in
heaveni
The mast is half broken, the sail in the wind,
Our dread is before us, our hope far behind
Why not on The ocean His goodness forget
When water breaks DER us, and daylight is setl
OF Land, no NO but the rocks of the beach
Are afar, and the speed of the tempest shall
reach
Only pillows unbroke, that Of tenderness teach,
AIS we'll. save the bosom long painting and
| Save the strength accomplishing, for love has
forborne,
Save the shrouds newly spliced, and the mast:
newly set,
And the sails newly white, and the ropes dark
ly wet
There are murmuring voices, and glisteninG
eyes,
And fonm-tAsselrd pillows, and sun smilinl
skies;
o! Land, hol There's a cloud white AM
high
1t is snow on the sea, il Is land in the sky,
And the sea is forgot, save u tear in the eye.
On sweeps the broad billow, we're fast on GU
way
The Pilgrims that float are more anxious to-da
Than when, driv'n by tempest, they fed fror
its wrath,
Or when heaven with stars full Of light watch
their patti.

tablished the policy of distributing daily from
the public treasury sum of money to each OF
the people. 1t is the same as the practice that
ultimately prevailed at Rome, of distributing
corn brought from Egypt, at public expense,
The donation of land or money, or corn, is
simply the robbery of the industrious, enterpris-
ing, and frugal, or their offspring, to support
and promote the lazy, thriftless, prodigal, and
incorporate. 1t destroys the aggregate wealth
of people, and makes everybody finally poor.
Property is like liberty, knowledge, and the
bessn and trusts of life 1t cannot be be-
slowed effectively by one man or one people on
another. 1t is, as general rule, the reward Of
certain virtues, and these virtues are the qualh-
cations for its control
The security of property is essential to the
success of all government and society. If the
law, instead of being the protector, becomes
the assailant of property, or of any other right,
the progress Of ruin is certain. And with us
the process has already been signalized by the
most stupendous robbery that history records
the robbery from the South OF her snare OF
California. AS this was done for party and sec
tional purposes, it was to be expected that other
robberes would follow for the same objects.
The South having been robbed of the right of
occupancy in the new territory, is next to be
robbed of her share of the proceeds Of the sales
of public lands, by giving the lands themselves
away, to invite European population int. the
robber section, and even to seduce Southern
population into an abandonment Of the homes
and the sentiments of the South.
What is the destiny of the South, with federal
power in the hsMAds of hostile section-with
federal honors to reward her apostates, and with
federal lands to bribe her citizens to desert her?
Let whatever remains of her principle, of her
good sense, Of her honor, of her patriotism,
answer.

French coony is being organized in Tazwell
county, Virginia. The Winchester Virginian
says;
"They are at the present age what the HUI

Inquistion; what the Catholics were to the
Jewish hierarchy what in their turn the Jews
were to the heather.
THE Egalitares occupy themselves with the
practical alone. They pay. jointly and indiyidu-
ally. attention to the ustf..l ecieucrs--such as
medicine, philosophy, mathematics, history, ply.
-ics, and chemistry. Their colony will embfase
not less than three thousand families in year.
After payiog all expenses, they will add to. the
productive circulation no less than So, 600 900
per year.
The Egalitaires support no useless profess
sion. Their productsare in common; their ex-
penses are in common; they live in common.
Their fundamental principle ia equality in labor
and in income. They now desire loan OF
500 600, divided into 10000 shares. Each
share of rs will realize n return of over 81 $50

W Inc editor OF The Philadelphia Worm
American has the following:
Whatever few daring extremists may say OF
an infatuated mob may tire ten, here, in the
North, and among the great mass of intelligence,
worth, and integrity throughout the country
there is no disposition to trench upon any right
enjoyed by the South under the Constitution
or to avoid the discharge of any duty which that
instrument or good feeling enjons; and when
therefore, the recent address of the committee
appointed by thu Southern rights associations
charged that the aim of the North "was the
abolition of negro slavery in the Southern
States" it assert,d falsehood so barefaced as
only to invoke pity. for tho ignorance which die
tated the sentiment or scorn for the wretched-
ness Of the calunny.

promise, and in hyor of a policy still more hos
tile to the South He was for the immediate
admission of New Mexico as State, all though
