John Quincy Adams-His Election by
the House of Representatives,

The struggle for the vacant Presidential
chair shook The Union il kndled strifes
and gave birth 10 parties which are not yet
extinct among us with these il is not my
province nor my purpose 10 meddle but
1t was my lot TO witness The issue of the con-
test, when II came to its head, and was de-
clded blow for blow Oh the high places of
the field. The hall of the House of Repre.
sentalives exhibited on that evenful day,
such spectacle asnever haG been Witness
cd in this country, such as the world never
saw. There being three candidates for
the Presidency, and neither of them having
received the constitutional majority giving

lived which, in all other countries, has been
decided By the sword; but which, having

as the delegations of the respective States;
each united delegation casting one vote.
As the day appointed for The election ap-
preached, the excitement of the public mind
became intense. Washington was crowded.
Nightly caucuses, and the most anxious calcu-
ialions, occupied the leading men of each of
oil Inc three parties. So evenly balanced
that alter the most exact scrutiny had been
gone through with, after the probable vote
OF each individual man had been set down
with as much caution and care as if tha
whole reset depended on bis individual suf.
frnge, il was concluded that the resul, would
very possibly turn on single vote; ana

Adams but the eager, agitating, anxious
question was whether he would remain firm
TO that pledge.

the election by placing seats for the respec-

Heart-Experience.

From far>of cline, where the citron blows,
AT the twilight time, and the weeping rose,
With neck of all hues, and meek, loving eye,
On my saddesi muse, broke imploringly
A beauteous dove, beseeching my love:
In my yearring breast, made it nest.
| culled sweet flower from lis parent stem
And priced it each hour, as peerless gem
| caught its perfume, when my heart was
sad;
Then lifted the gloom, that was crushing me
mad i;
l paid at its shrine wild oahs all divine
Full trusting was l, 'lwould droop not nor
die.
wooed for my heart vision of air;
10 dreams would start. find it still there.
| loved it the more, that it came alone;
Il staid at the door, till the world was gone.
Twas robcd in dress of lovelness;
Its SOULFUL eye was brillancy:
"rwould fan my wan cheek, and kiss my
pale brow,
And breathe in torres meek, an espousal
vow.
That bird flew away, though I loved it well /;
1t complained one day, that my heart was a
cell.
That flower withered up, like an unfed hope ;
1t pined for the eye of a summers sky.
That heavenly maid reyisits me not
Like men, I'm afraid her oath she's forgot.
IT'S winters night with my spirit now,
No starlet Of light ilumines its brow.

Mr.. Webster's Premature D Decrepitude y

Mr.. Horace Mann, in his brutal speech
or lecture, or what not, delivered at Laucas-
ter, May 10, and subsequently hisscd at
Cambridge, has the extraordinary efIronte-
ry, among other gross falschoods about Mr..
Webster, 10 talk of his premature old age
and decrepitude."
Now, Mr.. Webster was sixty-nine years
old last February. During the whole active
period of his life, he has risen very early,
and does so still, ,-oftcner up before five o
clock than after it,-and getting through
moro work before the majority of lawyers
and statesmen have breahfastcd, than most
Of the better sort of them do in a whole day.
In the summer season, when he is at Marsh
field or at Franklin, he is generally out a.
mong his fine cattle, for his pleasure and
health, by foar o'clock in the morning and
in the course Of the forenoon, he often walks
more miles, with his gun on his shoulder, or
catches more fish, than most Young sports
men can in twice the time. His spirits arc
generally fresh, and, for his years, gay, ex-
cept when anxious about the business of the
country; his external senses are unim-
paired he is as quick of hearing as he ever
was,-much more so than some men like to
have him and he can read the finest print,
without spectacles, as he could at twenty.
In short, his physical powers are PRESCRIBED
10 degree most extraordinary considering
his age; and as to his intellectual faculties,
his marvellous memory, the promptness with
which he can command all his vast resourc-
es, his wise judgment of affairs, his massive
power-never so formidable as when assailed
all these are untouched, and fill with won
der all who approach him.
Now, if this be premature old age and
decrepitudc," we pray that we may all at
tain them, when, Ike him, we approach
three score and ten. And further, we pray,
that Mr.. Webster may continue in this same
decrepiiude for yet twenty years longer and
that MIR. Mann and his other maligners may
live TO witness it, just as they are now obli-
ged 10 listen TO the shouts that come over to
us from the Empire State of New. FORK, and
are echoed back from our own hills in New
England, bearing witness TO Mr.. Webstcr's
constantly increasing influence, and cheer
ing him onward in lis great course of public
duty.-BoSton Courier

A PATRIOTIC AND Liberal OFFER
One of the disunion papers of South Caro-.
lima makes very furious annunciation that
" John w. Wright, notorious Free Soiler,
has been elected Mayor of Logansport, Ind p
Mr.. Wright, after due reflection upon the
subject, has authorized the Editor CT the
Indiana Sentinel to announce thatif South
Carolina will abandon her mad projects Of
disunion, and obligate herself to talk no
more about secession, he will, for the pur-
pose of quieting the South Carolina mind,
resign the Mayorship of Logansport. All
true patriots may rejoice. Grim visagel

The Daisy.
FROM BLACKwooD.

The daisy blossoms on the rocks,
Amid the purple heath
1t blossoms on the rivers bank,
That threads the glens beneath;
The eagle, at his pride of place,
Beholds it by his nest
And in the mead it cushions soft
The lark's descending breast.
Before the cuckoo, earliest spring
Its silver circle, knows,
When greening buds begin to swell,
And zephyr melts the SHOWS;
And when December breezcs howl
Along the moorlands bare,
And only blooms the Christmas rose,
The daisy still is there.
Samaritan of flowers; to it
All races are alike;
The Swiizer on his glacier height
The Duchman by his dyke
The scal-skin vested Esquimaux,
Begirt with icy seas
And underneath his burning noon,
The parasoled Chinese.
The cmigrant on the distant shore,
Mid scenes and faces strange,
Beholds it Towering on the sward,
Where'er his footsteps range;
And when his yearning homc-sick heal
Would bow 10 its despair,
1t reads his eye lesson sage
That God is every where

Dailies and Weeklies.

Daily editors sometimes speak con-
temp,uously of their brethren of the
weekly press. as though their own func>
lions were vastly higher than those of the
latter. In selGde(ence we may bristle
up little, aud we therefore positively
assert that weekly journals have a larger
share in directing the public mind than
dailies. 1t is indeed obvious that the
ampler means of the daiies enable them
to command degree of editorial talen,
to which the weeklies can seldom pre-
tend; yet our assertion is none the less
true. Daily papers are generally read in
the counting-room, the Office, the hotel,
the reading-room the weekly goes home
TO the ire-sidc. The former is read in
hurry. the latter at leisure. The man
OF business opens his morning psper,

SANDER.

The Boston Mail has very good article
on Mr.. Websler's slandercrs who more than
intimate that Mr.. W. was under the inhu-
cnce of alcohol when be delivered his great
speech at Buffalo. The editor of the Mail
thus pertnently replies 10 the SANDERS of
the Commonwealth newspaper;
THAT Mr.. w. is total abstinence man
we do not pretend but we do say and be-
lieve that not one Of his traducers ever saw
him drunk OIL" " disabled" with spirituous
liquor of any kind or on any occasion. We
have seen him at many conyivial meetings
where the temptation TO indulgence was
strong as could be, and he partook with the
utmost moderation. 1t is well known TO his
friends that he always makes it point
neither 10 eat or drink when he expects to
make speech-knowing full well as he does
the dead weight Of full stomach upon the
in ntellectual faculties. His clear and easy
expose of his views and feelings at Buffalo
indicates that he was not only not drunk,
but that he had partakcn, if at all, with
moderation on that occasion. People may
read his speech with drunken eyes, and fan
cy that the speech, and not themselves, is at
fault just as a reeling inebriate fancies that
the pavement comes up and strikes him in
the face. We are not, as we have said be-
fore, particularly in love with the political
but we do think it high time that these SLAM
ders against his personal habits should be
put down."

And at his word, like a flock Of quiet, passive

word Of complaint or remonstrance, and in
an incredibly shor; time, not soul was left
behind. The foreign minister lifted up his
