Gerrit Smith.

The election Of this famous Aboli,ionist
10 Congress, from District which gives
over 1000 majority for Pierce and King, is
one Of the strange, queer results Of The late
contest. He is a singular man. He has
vast property, large part Of il real estate
He has given away thousands Of acres of
this land 10 poor colored persons as well as
white ones, He was one Of The bail for
Chapman, who was indicted in Maryland
for running off slaves, and has been com.
PEELED TO pay seven or eight thousand dol.
lars on his bond. He is sincere, honest
man, Of pure personal character, and un-
doubted benevolence and kindness oil heart.
He is not one Of the humbug Aboli.ionists.
The Soclhern members will respect him be-
cause he is honest and honorable in his
course. We shall look for some queer
freaks when he gels fairly started in his new
posi.ion.-Siaie Jour.

Amid all this--in this most cheerless air,
And where the woodbine shed upon the porch
Its crimson leaves, as if the year stood there,
Firing the floor with its inverted torch;-
Amid all this, the center Of the scene,
The white haired matron, with monotonous
tread,
Piled the swift wheel, and with her joyleSs mie n
Sat like Fate, and watched the flying thread
She had known sorrow. He had walked with
her,
Oft supped, and broke with her thea crust;
And in the dead leaves, still she heard the stir
OF his black mantle trailing in the dust.
While yet her cheek was bright with summer
bloom,
Her country summoned, and she gave her all,
And twice, war bowed to her his sable plume
Rs-gave the swords, to rust upon the wall
Re-gave the swords-but not the hand that drew,
And struck for liberty the dying blow;
Nor him, who to his sire and country true.
Fell mid the ranks Of the invading foe.
Long, but not loud, the droning wheel went on
Like the low murmurS of hive at noon;
Long, but not loud, the memory Of the gone,
Breathed through her lips, a sad and tremulou
tune.
At last the thread was snapped-her hand wa
bowed
Life dropped the distaif through his hand
serene;
And loving neighbors Smoothed her careful shroud
While Death and Winter closed the autumn
scene.

The Closing Scene.
NJ THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.

Within the sober realm Of leafless trees
The russell year inhaled the dreamy air;
Like some tanned reaper in his hour of ease,
When all the fields are lying brown and bare.
fhe gray barns, looking from their hazy hills
Ger the dim waters, widening in the Wales;
Bent down the air a greeting to the mills,
On the dun thunder Of alternate fails.
Alisishts were meilOwed, @saa al -sOuads-Eub-
. dued, ~ 9- -
The hills seemed farther, and the streams sang
low;
As in dream, the distant woodman hewed
His winter log with manya mufled blow.
The embattled forests, erewhile, armed in gold,
Their banners bright with every martial hue,
Now stood, like some sad beaten host of old,
Withdrawn afar in Times remotest blue.
On slumberous wings the vulture tried his fiji ght;
The dove scarce heard his signing mates
complaint
And like star, slow drowning in the light,
The village church vane seemed to pale and
faint.
The sentinel cock upon the hillside crew
Crew thrice, and all was stiller than before
Silent till some replying warder blew
His alien horn, and then was heard no more
Where, erst, the jay within the elm's tall crest
Made gauulous trouble round her unfedged
young; Es .E..
And where the oriole hung her swaying nest,
BY every light wind like senser swung;
Where sung the noisy maSons Of the caves,
The busy swallows circling ever near,
Poreboding, as the rustic mind believes,
An early harvest and plenteous year,
Where every bird which charmed the vernal
feast,
Shook the sweet slumber from its wings at
morn, .."
To warn the reapers Of the rosy east;-
All now was songless, empty, and forlorn.
Alone, from out the stubble, piped the quail,
And croaked the crow, through all the dreamy
gloom;
Alone the pheasant, drumming in the vale,
Made echo to the distant cottage loom.
There was no bud, no blosm upon the bowers;

~There is ALWAYS a crv Of malfeasantr

enough; but when man says: I'VE have
ourselves, been made to suffer from the
mean, underhanded and cowardly IMPOSE
tions practiced upon us by miserable mo
party sneaks." who were holding office
through the suGeramce Of the democracy in
1s44,' we think its getting to be pointed.
Our connection with the post office at that
time, and up to ls49, gives us right to say
something in this connection. At that time,
as now, the mails were flooded with the
miserable trash, from executive Wing and
Democratic Clubs, at Washington and else
where, sent to be given to the natives; in
many instances-left blank, for the post
master to deliver. During our administra-
ton, such things generally went to Buncum
We do not marvel, that complaints should
be made. The post master, who permits
himself to be made the medium, through
which, campaign lies get to the people
should be removed from Office at once. We
feel satisfied that no such charge can be
brought against the present incumbent at
this place.
The reason why the mails does not get to
Greensburg, regularly is; first because it is
conveyed by horse. The creek are freqrea-
thy up and cannot be forded. At this time
of the year, when there is twenty -four bush
els of campaign lies coming in every day,
it is not to be wondered at, that saddle bags
will not hold them all, and that some of
them have to lay over.
~It affords us pleasure to see that our
neighbor keeps standing notice, on the
first column of his paper, for "Mr. Sampson
Wolff, M. P, and dresser of grist mills, on
an improved PLAN" Sampson is now hum
ting up grist mills to fix, amongst the Phil
istines at Bayou Sara.
We hope the whole democratic organ Of
the State will below forth in loud blast
to shake the nation, that Sampson will dress
grist mills, payable when Pierce is elected
