ST. LOUIS Posr OrrIcE.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York Tri-
bmc says: The St. Louis Post Office ques-
tion is just now the most alarming trouble
affecting General Pierce and his Constitu-
tional advisers, as Col. Benton is in it with
uPro.ed sleeves, knocking down and drag
ging cut at grand rate. He has demanded
ana obtained the appointment Of Henry f.
Watson, who for q long time has been the
chic. clerk Of The office. Senator Atchison,
and the rest Of the Democrats of the next
Missouri delegation in Congress, who are
now here, went in for F. NJ. Colburn; A.
alleging that Watson is dyed in the wool
AbolitiOnist. The President protested ,hat
he was bound TO acknowledge Col. Benton
for Democrat in full communion; and, as
such, must be guided by his recommends
tion in the premises, as he represents the
immediate district OF ST. Louis. Mr.. Atch-
ison has formally notified him that he vii!
prevent Mr.. Watson's confirmation, using
an Ablition address to which his (W.'s)
name is signed to that end. His plea is
that however proper it may be to overlook
an applicants Free Soilism in appointing

thing will never do for the other region.

THE COMING OF SPRING
BY JOHN CARR MILLER.

Now cometh o'er the mountain,
And o'er the smiling plain,
O'er valley, grove and fountain,
The pleasant spring again;
A golden glory beaming
Around her fairy form,
Like rainbow banners cleaning,
Where swept the rushing storm!
The forest flowers are peeping
From out the icy earth;
Escaped from winters keeping
The brooks rejoice in mirth.
The early birds are singing
Within the forest grove.
And all around are ringing
The melodies of love.
A melancholy sadness
Is mine, know not why,
When all is joy and gladness
Beneath the glorious sky.
When spring with garlands laden,
Comes o'er the fowery plain,
Then, like love-born maiden,
Ifeel exquisite pain,
Twas thus with me in childhood
As oft as vernal showers
Had passed above the wildwood,
Where slept the tiny flowers,
And woed them from their sleeping.
A strange and dreamy boy
Ipassed among them weeping,
Nor felt the common Joy.
And now. when shines the glory
OF Springs transparent skies,
And'Winter, old and hoary,
To polar regions flies
When light, and life, and gladness,
Their blessedness impart,
feel that olden sadness
Come stealing o'er my heart.
A vague, prophetic warning
May whisper in the soul,
As o'er the skies of morning
The storm precursors roll.
A shadowy, dim, uncertain
Soul-spectre form may stand,
To lift the pale cloud curtain
Which wells the unseen land!

Come let us part with lghtsome heart,
Nor breathe one chilling sigh,
To thjul; that wings OF rainbow plume,
So soon should learn to fly.
We scarcely like the chimes to strike
That tell of pleasures flight,
But friendships chain, when severed then.
Is sure to re-unite.
Then why not We, as merry be,
Though tluis song be the last,
Believing otter '7grs will come
As bright g. those Just passed.
The wild birds song is loud and long,
But the sweetest and the best
Is whstled rs he leaves the bough
To seek his lonely nest.
The suns rich ray shines through Tie day,
But ..2shes deeper still,
While darling forth his farewell ray
Behind the western hill.
Then why not we, as merry be,
In this our parting strain?
For Ike the bird and sun wen come
With joy and warmth again.
The moments lied, like vioiets dead,
still never lose !heir nowe-.
For grateful perfume ever marks
Memory's withered flower.
TIE saiiol's lay, in peaceful bay,
With glalsome uiIthin5s out;
Bmw when the heavy anchors weighed,
They give as Little a shout.
Then why not We as merry be
In this, our parting strain.
And trust, as gallant sailors do.

OH buLLIoY IN FuLL FEArnERs.-It
is generally admitted of Old Bullion, not
withstanding all the members of the demo-
cratic party, who can neither control him
nor alarm him, are dead against him, that he
has yet potent voice with the administrs-
ton. He is a member elect of the next
Congress, and the Cabinet seem to know
what that means. He, therefore, speaks 10
them and they listen, much to the surprise
Of those very jealous rivals who account
him as nothing but hereto. But the la
test report from Washington concerning
Col. Benton is, tha, he is up for the Sperk-
ershiP of the House. For an old man, over
seventy years Of age, this indicates consid-
cradle pluck and muscle; and, altogether,
the statement makes an unreasonable draft
upon our credulity. But still it may be SO.
Old Bullion is in fall feather, and we should
not be surprised if the House were TO put
him in the chair to get him Off the floor

Gillette, the Free Soil candidate for Gov

it is generally conceded that Gov. Seymour
is reelected by the people, together with
his associates on the Democratic State
ticket.

House, the New Haven Palladium says:
The House although strong the same way,
we are inclined to believe, will contain
majority in favor Of the enactment Of

Treating at Elections.

The two great political parties of the State
are devising their schemes and mastering
their forces for the contest in August next.
In the several Districts, the candidates have
entered upon the canvass; and the probabil-
ity is, that every possible effort will be made
by each one to insure his election. So far as
we know they are all honorablemen and we
will not charge upon them in advance, the de-
sign of resorting to dishonorable means in
order to success. But it cannot be forgotten,
that heretofore in this State, it has been the
habit with most candidates, not only for
the Legislature and minor Offices, but even
for Congress, to purchase votes, and thus
--~I-e l.osu"1y against their opponents, by
the grovelling and abominable practice Of
treating with Alcoholic drinks. The law has
been shamefully violated by the very legis.
lators of the land-the public sense has been
outraged; and truth, justice and public virtue
have been trampled in the dust. 1t is we'll
known, and we record it with shame, that
large sums of money have been thus wasted,
and almost every grog-seller in the country
has bcep given carte blanche, by these pro-
fessed lovers of the dear people," to pour
liquid fire down the already cauterized throats
of whiskey guzzlers. By this worse than
barbarian practice, the worst feelings of the
masses have been ngendered-brawling,
fighting and murder have followed in the
train-the tears Of injured wives and moth
ers have been made to flow in torrents tho
cries of beggared children have filed the
land-many a promising bright-eyed boy
has been made drunkard for life, and poor
injured, suffering humanity has blod at
every pore.
Now, we think, it is full time, that truce
should be had to this unmanly and devilish
warfare, upon the virtue and interests of tho
people of the Old North State. 1t is time.
that injured innocence-the majesty of the
law, and the moral sense Of the public,
should rise in their might and put it down.
AT least, the abettors and promoters of this
nefarious and heayen-daring crime, should
} be made to feel that there is something due
to the laws of the land-some respect should
be shown to the sentiments of the moral Dor
J ton of the community.
We are glad to believe that many of the
: candidates in the approaching canvass are
anxious to put it down. In principle they are
, opposed to it. Let them then come out and
act like men. Let them at any risk, wholly
discard the practice, and their reward viii
a be sure, either sooner or later.
