BIZ Z. d. HOW ARD


AIR-Oid FoUs at Home
Dark fall the shades of evening dreary,
Sad, sad am /;
Slow drag the cherries hours so weary,
Coldly the storm sweeps by;
Hopeless and fearful of to morrow,
Weeping sad tears,
I'm watching in my home of sorrow,
Grievlng er vanished years.
Oh my home of joy and sladness,
Thou art lost to mel
Now darkened with distress and sadness
Weeping, mourn for thee.
Once happy was our sunny dwelling,
William was true;
Now anguish in my heart is swelling,
Deep the joy l knew.
He yielded to the fell temptation,
Fiends led him on;
Till, reeling from his lofty station,
Manhood and truth are gone
Oh my home of JOY and gIadness,
Thou art lost to me
Now, darkened with distress and sadness
Weeping, mourn for thee
Once happy were my childrens voices,
Unhushed by fear;
Gone now the music that reioices,
Famine and grief are here!
Once tender were the words of greeting,
When my William came;
Now learfully my heart is beating,
Scared al the once loved name.
Oh my home of JOY and gladness,
Thou art lost to me
Now darkened with distress and sadness
Weeping, l mourn for thee
One hope within my heart is glowing,
One rising star
One strain, as of bugle blowing,
Tells of glorious war
First came its blessed note of gladness,
Floating from Maine!
Trembling turn from thoughts of Sadness
Home may be bright again!
Oh the hope newborn and glorious,
May its promise be
Crowned with the blessed law victorious
Giving the old home to me,

Observation-Disclosures We erthersfore that
Mr.. Tomln's specific will again be brought
forward in some other shape. We hope at
least. 1t is true we have no sort of confidence
in the healing virtues of this panacea, but as the
Democracy profess to entertain high opinion OF
its merits we have not the slightest objection to
their submitting it to the test of pertinent pro.
vided they choose to take the responsibility of
doing So 1t is to be hoped for the credit OF our
Democratic Legislators that they don't intend
to adjourn without making all effort, at
least, to put down SHIN lasters, and thus rid their
constituents of the course that has so long alict-
ed them. 1t is true that all their former at
tempts to accomplish this end have proved ridi-
culous failures but notwithstanding this discour-
aging experience, they owe it to themselves and
to the people, either to persevere in their efforts
or to acknowledge candidly their inability aud
incompetency to deal successfully with the evil.
They admit that we have wretched currency
they acknowledge the obligation to provide a
better. and they cannot escape from the discharge
of this duty, without damaging whatever reputa-
tion they may now enjoy for patriotism and poll
tical wisdom. They must either renew their
exertious to exterminate shin-plasters or ect
them selves to the double reproech of possessing
neither sufficient magnanimty and indepe ndence
to try a Whig plan, nor wit enough to invent one
| of their own.

Hon Il. X. Meade,

This gentleman addresses card to his late
constituents through the columns of the South
Side Democrat, from which it appears that he
declines being a candidate for reelection. 1t i.
supposed he will receive foreign appointment,
| from Gen, Pierce.
| Mr.. Meade adverts briefly in bis address te
some of the political questions of the day. He
congatuates his constituents on the rapid pros
gress of free trade principles in this county,
On this subject. the Democratic party he says,
are snow in full communion" We apprehend
that this will be news to the Democracy of Penn
syvana. When did the Democratic party of
that State become converts to the doctrine of
free trade, even in the modern Democratic ac-
ceptation of that term! We have yet to learn
that they have ever been received into the
communion" either of genuine or spurious
free traders. But Democratic protectionsts are
not confined to Pennsylvania, and we need only
point to the debates of that very Congress Of
which Mr.. Meade was so recently a member. to
disprove his assertion that the Democratic party
are thoroughly united in support of !reet trade
principles.
Mr. Meade discourses at some length on the
subject of internal improvement by the Federal
government. He admits that the Democracy
are divided in opinion this questi on, but does
not despair of their settling down ultimately
orthodox views 10 regard to it. The difficulty of
improving the great rivers of the West solely by
State means according to Mr.. Meade, is the
chief strength of the advocates of internal inn
provsment, and he therefore thinks that we ought
to adopt Mr.. Douglas plan, authorizing the
States directly interested in these rivers to levy
tonnage duties with view to their improvement.
Should this plan fail, MIR. Meade advocates an
amendment of the Constitution vesting Con-
gress with special power to improve the Missis-
sippi aud few of its tributaries
Such the notions of this straight laced
Southern Rights Democrat. The wrongs and in
justice which the South has suffered at the
hands of the Federal Government, constitute n
favorite theme OF defamation with gentlemen Of
this school. We have heard them complaining
for the last twenty years of sectional Legislation
of money being taken from the pocket of the
South to be put into that of the North. And yet
we here find distinguished member OF this po-
litcal sect gravely proposing to egalizs this
system OF sectional legislation for all time to
come. Wehud him going to the extreme length
Of recommending amendment of the organic
law of the land. in order to vest aud perpetuais
the power in Congress Of expanding the public
money for the improvement of few Western
rivers. to the absolute exclusion of all others
The Mississippi and few Of its tributaries ac-
cording to Mr. Meade's plan should be made the |
privileged objects of Congre ssional favour whilst

SEIZURE OF San JuAN.-The New York Tri-
bune and Herald of Friday publish a cores
pondeuce from San Juan. Nicaragua, giving an
account of the alleged seizure Of that port bv
Captain Hollins. commanding the U. s. sloop-
of-war Cyane. According to the accounts, the
previous difficulties which had existed between
the authorities Of the town aud the officers of the
Nicaragua Transit Company had been brought
to an issue by writ of ejectment against tho
Company's officers. In the meantime the Cyane
appeared in the harbor, and he subsequent oc-
currences are thus detailed by the correspondent
of the Tribune:
On the morning of the 10Th instant the City
Marshal accompanied by two carpenters, pro-
ceeded TO execute the writ of ejectment, but he
was ordered off by Lieutenant of Marines.
The Captain of the Port went on board the CIV.
ane and notified the Commander that the land
abreast OF which he was lying was Quarantine
ground. He was answered with az order passed
forward for another detachment of marines ashore.
and was then informed by Comma nder Hollins
that he should prevent the execution of the writ,
and that no boats could pass from the town to
the north side of the Bay, thus blockading the
harbOr.
The flag of the city was then Immediately
io""io" ouu Cuo City So'oTuiilonC ulSSOV6Q.-
The flag, however, was subsequently hoisted on
the 14th one of the correspondents saws, at the
suggestion of the British Consul, who Ind in
tho interval returned from Brewfields Infor-
nation of the course pursued by tie ommand.
er of the Cyane was dispatched by the authori
ties OF the town to the British Admiral at Jamai-
ca. protest had also been adopted by the ci-
tizens and served on the American and other
resident consuls. The note in which Commander
Hollins made known his intention to protect the
Companys property is as follows:

STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY-The coutr-
buttons to the fair to be held under the auspices
ofthe society already reach nearly $4,000, with
good prospect ahead for additional contributions.
The society will unquestionuby be enabled to
offer premiums worthy of competition and we
hope to see spirit of generous rivalry rife
throughout the whole State on the occasion.
1t has been suggested that the mechanics of
this city might afford mater al aid to the agricu-
tural society, and the same time advance their
own interests, by organizing an Institute for the
promotion of the mechanic arts in the State
The suggestion, it strikes US, is good one, and
we'll worthy the serious consideration of the Me-
chanics. We shall again allude to the advantn-
yes likely to follow the adoption of the sugges-
ton.
