times, to the great principles on which our Union has
been founded, and 10 the great men who established
it, Among these, the Father OF his Country stands

wise counses we may, with perfect confidence repair
to lnvigorate our PATRIOTISM and stimulate our high
est eXertions IN the support OF that Union which it
was his noble amblon to achieve and perpetuae
In surveying the actual condition OF our country we
ought not 10 shut our eyes TO the dangers which ca
compass it. On the one hand, in some OF the free
States II should not be disguised that there existing
spirit OF opposition to tho Constitution and laws
which, il it be not checked and discountenanced may
lead 10 the most caamltous consequences. On the
other in siagle State, from opposite causes there is

THE DAILY TIMES.
SPEAK NO TIL

SPEAK NO ILL.
Nay speak no i'll kindly word
Can never leave a sting behind;
And oh, to breathe each tale we've heard
Is far beneath noble mind
Full oft better seed is sown
BY choosing thus the kinder plan,
For if but little good be known,
Still let us speak the best we can.
Give me the heart that fan would hide,
Would fain anolher's faults efface;
How can tpleasure human pride
To prove humanity but base?
No let us reach higher mode,
A nobler estimate of man;
Be earnest in the search of good,
And speak OF all the best we can.
Then speak no ill--but enent be
To others faiIings as your own;
II you're the first fault to see,
Be not the first to make il known.
For life is but a passing day;
No lip may tell how brief its span;
Then, oh! the little time we stay,
Let's speak of all the best we can
