BACHELORS LAMENT.
BY VAMOOSE.

WHEN young fair lady loved,
And with her ringlets sported,
And often my affections proved,
Till sweet Mamie courted
Then she gently laid me one side,
With most cruel intent,
To tantalize my youthful pride,
With bachelors lament.
AT the age of two and twenty,
courted for beauty's sake;
For fiattered dear ones plenty,
To some slight impression make;
But how gracefully she turned her back,
And eyes in circle bent,
Meaning-take some other track,
With bachelors lament.
A few years with their long length rolled
Rapidly over my head,
When the idea struck me for. gold,
can most certainly wed.
Scarce had l said my dear Miss,
Before she the herald sent,
Causing me to sadly feel this
Sort of bachelors lament.
Thirty-independent naughty proud,
Courted one for intellect,
And amiabiity endowed;
Nor cared for her fortune sect
Like the evening shade she knit her brow
In token of what she meant;
Just sufficient to let me know,
'Tis bachelors lament
The scene changes when l wisely think,
That tits natures demand,
To solemnly and truly link,
With woman heart and hand
So off goes to Miss Peggy Nutes,
Says she-Mester kent,
l said nething but thought 'twould suit,
For Bachelors lament.

TIE UNION AND GENERAL CLARKE.-We
Yesterday gave our readers the substance OF the
Washington Unions reply to the attack made by
General Clarke. one of the most distinguished of
the New York Hunker Democracy, on the Cabi
net and Administration of General Pierce, and
now have before us its defence of President Polk,
who came in for share of the vituperation of the
same speaker. In attempting TO trace the history
of the defectons in the democratic party, General
Clarke said:
.Mr. Polk through certain influences emanating
from this State. then undertook the Herculean
task of uniting the party by rewarding traitors;
and from that day forward heresy has taken the
place of the true faith, and error has been co-e-
quail with truth"
In reply 10 this sweeping charge, the Union of
yesterday says
"To those who are appraised of the fact that
Gen. Clarke was an applicant to President Polk
for high and responsible military position during
the Mexican war; and that his failure TO obtain 1t
was deeply wounding his ambitious feelings,the
rratutous character of the attack might excite
suspicion that its motive was unworthy OF his stan
ding"
When the fact is taken into consideration, that
this speech of General Clarke was enthuslastlca-
" received by the representatives of the great d.
vision of the Democracy to which he is attached,
some adequate idea of the harmony of the Democ-
racy of the Empire State may be obtained. Should
the Wings act wisely in their nominations, there
can be no doubt of the election of their entire
State ticket this fall, the ''hards" and "sOits'
having each nominated full tickets for all the State
offices. Baltimore american.

The President and Cabinet.

At the late Convention of the Hunker faction OF
the New York Democracy, at Syracuse, Gen.
ORvuLE CLARKE, a prominent and influential
man of his party, made speech, in which he
lauded Gen. PIERCE, personally, but attributed
blame to his Cabinet, which he said was ga trim
ity" instead of unit. The Washington Union
takes the matter in high dudgeon, and tells Gen.
CLARKE that ''hs position is even more offensive
to the President than an open and direct ASSAULT
that it conveys the idea "that the policy adopt
ed BY his Cabinet may be runous to the country,
but that the President is not to be responsible, be-
cause he either lacks the intelligence or the moral
courage to resist this malconduct." The Union
furthermore declares its determination to sustain
the policy adopted by the President in the forma-
ton of his Cabinet. and in the distribution of the
public patronage, Thus it appears that General
PIERCE has decided to persevere in his plan Of
conciliating the Barnburbcrs, and the Hunkers are
to be treated as seceeders from the party. The
Hunkers oppose the Cabinet, not the Presidents
but both the President and his Cabinet oppose
the Hunkers.

o. The Richmond Enquirer, would seem to
disclaim for the Board of Public Works the intcn-
ton of making partizan appointments on the Cen
trail Railroad, when it offers the explanation that
'snce the road is in process of construction in and
beyond the Valley, tits proper that some of the
agents of the State should reside in those more
Western localities: in making these appointments
for the West, some gentlemen on this side of the
mountains were necessarily superseded hence Sc"
This theory is quite unobjectionabe, but unfortu-
natey the facts of the practice do not sustain it,

Gently decapiated, resided in the Valley, and &C
