Woe PREsIDENT KING.

This distinguished statesman has returned to his
home but little if any, improved by his recent tour
There is now scarce hope of his ever being able to
reach Washington again, or enter upon the duties
which the voice of the people with so much pleasure
and such great unanimity assigned him. But few
public men in the nation have passed through so
many important and responsible positions as Mr..
hing, and yet retained character so pure and I'M
sulied-thel admiration ofhis politcaIfrends
and associates-and the universal confidence and re-
spect of his political opponents The distinguished
Senator from Missouri, DAVID R. ArcHIsox, has al
ready been chosen President pro- tenn of the Senate
and IN case of the death of Mr.. King would be the
Vice President of the I. s He is statesmen of long
experience the most ncorruptible principles and en-
1nenty worthy the position which he is likely to be
called upon to assume.

SPRING.

The Spring time is here again. The rivulct whose
murnuring voice was hushed by the icy chains of
winter, pours forth anew its mellowing cadence
The gay plumed songsters, driven to more genial
climeS by the cold breath of the hoary King, have
returned to charm the ear with their music and
cheer the heart by their presence. The cowslip
with her winning grace and the velvet-hued violet
shrinking in its modest worth once more lift their
heads from the apparent desolate earth, and smile
at the dawn of Spring. All nature is in unison.
and man, and bird, and stream, and flower. are
vieing with each other in paying tribute to the
first born of the year. Welcome, thrice welcome
gentle Spring. Welcome to thy April showers !:
welcome to the coat of green, with which thou art
covering the earth ;-wclcome to thy balmy winds
and genial sunshines
How analogous is the Spring time of the wear
with the Spring time of life. That season when
the affections are pure and have not been tainted
with the baneful influences of the world when
the heart is free from care and the passions have
never been aroused by the angry stirs of men,
when all is sunshine and joy, and the whitening
hand of attiction and disappointment has not
weighed down the spirit, nor crushed the earliest
and tondest hopes and aspirations. A recollection
OF those blissful days sigh, and the heart
grows sick when we compare them with the pre-
sent-when we think of the corruption that meets
us at every turn-the deception we daily see prac-
tised, and the duplicity and crime that surrounds
us 1t is enough to change man. and why should
we wonder that the finer feelings of the heart and
the noblest impulses of our nature arc gradually
lost But we had no intention of moralizinp when
we commenced this article, and we shall therefore
stop.
Spring is the season of promises. The heart
grows warm and the imagination more vivid. as
each succeeding day adds beauty to nature Fam
cy that most ductle and maleable of all materials
or incorporeals, is worked into thousand sbapes
and the very brain tires with the quick succession
of ideas and phantoms that are originated But
where there is one reality practicability, there
is thousand chimcras. 1t is the season of dreams
and of pleasures of rosy cheeks and of light hearts
1t is not only the time for birds
ITO sit on branches, tipsy with overweight,
ana COO, and bow, and court their crany mate,''
1t is also the time for Leandersto show their devotion
to the object of their Affections and hero-like swim
helesponts, face danger even unto death, to win
the smiles or WOO the heart of those they love.
Even now we are thinking of the May DAVIS that
are in store for us, and of the flower bedecked
meadows, and the winds ladened with their fra
GRANGE. Happy days and happy hearts. Who can
tell what pen can portray, what mind can con-
ceive, all the beauties of the Spring. The great
Artist of the Universe is busy in mainline, nature

This Is the arrangement (says the Richmond Ex-
amincr) that the Wing press entities Gcrrymander
1t will be that have certain majority in eve
ry District of the State, save one That one is the
First District, composed of Accomac, Northampton,
&C.; but that is not less certainly Democratic in the
next Congressional Election than the Tenth Legion it
SELF Mr.. BAYLY always ahead of the Presider1-
tnl vote, and there is doubt but that he will do
again what he has often done before. The Demo-
cratic party of Virginia has only make an honest
effort to secure unbroen delegation of thirteen De-
mocrac votes in the next Congress. To this it has
right In the whole State it has fifteen thousand clear
majority, yet Virginia has only thirteen Representa-
tves Each of these thirteen may therefore be elected
by majority of more than eleven hundred votes with
surplus to spare What absurdty therefore, is it to
say that this State has been improperly divided to Sc
cure Democratic delegation. The only Gerrynan-
der of which State is capable is one which would
make it give Wing votes. On fair division of its
acknowledged majority, it is palpably impossible that
there could be ono single Wing Representative from
Virginia. Yet we know that the Wing minority in
the last Legislature had the face propose an appor-
tonment that would have given certainly three, and
perhaps five Wing Districts. And these arc the pco-
pie to pirate about Gcrrynanders.
