"We should be blinded with tho

seven times hotter than on this earth;
and VIC should shiycr in the dark, and
be frozen to death, if removed to Ur-

OMISSION IN THE Cuxsr,rUrIow.-
The feeble health Of Mr.. King and
the imminent danger in which The
President elect MAS recently placed,
have brought strongly 10 the notice ot'
the country strange omission in the
Constitution OF the United States.
The Charleston Evening News, in
speaking Of the possible worth oi'botli
officers entering on their duties, says:
Such a contingency is very romoic,
still relate rs it is, it was near hap
pcniug. As far rightcd rs were its
iiancrs, here is :: possibility wh;e!.
they did not !nresre. In the case oil
such in c"nillmc,urc, and in the absence
Of law or constitutional provision, the
good sense "f oar people could have
seen tie necessity OF popular ac-
a'Iiesccncc in the assumption by Con
grcSs of powers absolutely necessary
10 the public veal. The people would
have sanctioned the exercise of Con-
grcss Of the same authority as. that
delegated 10 il in case of Tie death Of
both Presidrn, and Vice President. af.
ter the cnmnrncrIuent Of their Exc

ton Of legislative power is traught
with danger. III another country not so
familiar with scit-covermcnt as the
people OF the United States, snch an
omission, and the contingency it fails
TO provide for, might terminate in the
overthrow OF oica;abiishcd authority, ana
become the parent Ola revolution. The
omission should be supplied as soon
as practicablc.'

The Spirit Sleepeth Not.
BY VIM. II. BURLEIGH.

When the gentle hand of slumber
Passes on my weary eyes.
And the forms that none can number
In their thronging beauty rise
Phantoms Of imagination,
With mystic glory fraught,
Tell me by their fascination.
That the spirit sleepeth not.
When gaze upon the ocean,
With its ever-heaving tide,
In its spirit. soothing motion,
Or it's desolating pride;
ehanging still, IL ever hath,
Voices for the inward thought,
Telling in its love and wrath,
That the spirit slcepeth not.
When I bend in alteration,
Low before the throne Of God,
Pouring forth my suppl cation,
Spreading all my wants abroad,
Voices from the world above,
While the earth is all forgot,
Tell me, with their tones Of love,
That the spirit sleepeth not.
From the mountains TO the valleys,
From the leaves by zephyrs stirred,
From the wind that gently dsllies
With the " ocean Q name" are heard
Whispers Of q thousands spirits,
Telling, 80 on air they rise,
That the soul which man inberits
Never slumbcrs-never dies |!

Mourn not for Anna. 1t is not
Her homc within that dreary spot
Where ye have laid her form to rest,
But in the mansions of the blest
Her happy spirit now is dwelling,
ln songs of joy her voice is swelling,
Aud nonght of sorrow or despair
Can ever reach or harm her there.
Her Father, God, looked from on high
And saw with tender plying eye
That if she longer dwelt below
Her loving heart might bleed with woe,
lie knew the friends she held most dear
Might die and leave her lonely here;
That sin and crushing rrow might
Her tender spirit blast and light;
And then the songs and flowers she cherished
Would fail to please when joy had perished
Then with fathers earnest love
He called her to his home above
Where she might Gull immortal flowers
While singing in elysian bowers.
Mourner, when you are freed from care
And rise to find a mansion there
Your Annals happy soul will wait
To hail you at Heavens op'ning gate.

COALITION.

A new coalition is proposed between the
Wings and Free Soilers. AT the head Of this
stands Messrs. Medills Of the Forest City. who
was at and made no objections to the nomina-
tons of the Wings at the State Convention -
What new light they have obtained since, We
cannot tell But they go all lengths now for
the coalition. We cannot follow them nor
oountenanee this scheme. Nor do we belive
that any sound and reliable whig can follow
them. To merge the whig party OF Ohio in
the Free Soil party, is utterly impossible-it
can never be done, The Free Sol party have
adopted in their Platform the Locoioco doc tIines
Of Free trade, Direct Taxation and opposition
TO all Banks Join such party,-neyer,- new
er,-Sueh q course would be suicidal. The
Medills may go-we cannot
From an article in the Ashtabula Telegraph
we rejoice to see that it, aud The Wings even
of that infected district repudste the coalition.
They spurn it--so do the Wings of Stark So
will the mass of the wings Of Ohio. They
have seen a darker hour than the present-but
never thought of coalitions with Free SoleN OF
Locofocos. They remember the result of the
Loco coalition with Townshend and co.. Ohic

Pursuant to appointment" quite a "largc

We respectabe) company" assembled at the
Springs, to commemorate the glorious doings OF
our forefathers Every one went charged with

not in excellent taste, they were, at least, very
hearty. When all arrived there was goody

some from hercabouts, and others from "furren

At a particular hour in the day, the crowd
was gathered together and "a noraion" pro-
nounced at them by W. c. CASTOR, Esq, of
Cadz-not Cadiz of Spain-but the BENCH or
seat, or shire, or whatever you may call it, Of
our sister county. 1t might be well enough to
remark in this connection that the farmers of
Harrison raise great many sheep, and their
newspapers tell large stories about the weight
of the heeces of some of these sheep We are
not inclined To discredt any of these state
ments, but We thought that perhaps Cadiz is
more famous for fine fleeces than anything else,
and therefore, when we found it necessary to
refer to that town in giving history of the
fourth at the Springs, we supposed it proper
10 identity it in an unmistak able manner.
Well. as we were about remarking, W. C
CASTOR, Esq, of Cadiz-the town famous fol
large heeees, as aioresaid-made the speecl
for the occasion. Mr.. CASTOR is good talker
and may. probably, il he lives until he be al

A DANGEROUS WoMAN.-We recently gave
the particulars of a case at Troy, in which a
man and a woman were poisoned by female
named Robinson. The Troy Budget, since re-
ceived, says: "Rumors are rife in the streets
of astonishing Developments made by the wo-
man Robinson" who poisoned Lannigan and
Miss. Lubin and discoveries are made~upon
her premises, that involve other crimes and
other parties, of which the ear is panied to hear.
Her very premises are said to have been pro-
cured for her and paid for by an official and
the woman claims a connection that would as
tonish any one not apprised of what has been
transpirng about her premises for months past.
1t is said that an effort has been made to reach
the woman by or in behal of parties implicated
for the purpose of sencing her ; and at last
"crazy" stories are put in circulation for effect
upon the community. If one half reported is
true, there will be room in the Grand Jury and
Common Council for other indictments and

DEATH FROM EXTRACTING TEErH,-Mr Nath.

on Saturday last, in manner as singular as
it was sudden and unexpected. About two
years since, on the occasion of having tooth
extracted he was taken with bleeding, not only
in the cavity where the tooth was drawn, but
from all his gums, and so freely did the blood
flow that it was several days before it could be
staunched, and then only by the difficult and
painful operation of fcaate,iziRg. Although com.
pletely prostrated by the loss of blood, yet he
rapidly recovered tho he had one or two attacks
since, On Friday last he was again suddenly
taken with bleeding at the gums, without any
apparent cause, and so profasely did the blood
flow that all efforts to stopit proved unsvail
ing, and on Saturday he died from the effects

MIR. Rarrere.

The True Democrat, Of Cleveland seems to
gather the impress sion, from some source
We know not where-that a desire is entertain
ed and an effort has been made to induce Mr..
Banere, the Wing candidate. for Governor, to
abandon the field. Il is certainly greatly in
error in such a suppOstiOn. There is no dis
satisfaction with Mr.. Barrere. He is the reg
ularly nominated xhig candidate, and enjoys
the eonfdenc6of his political friends He has
done nothing to forfeit that confidence His
course in and out Of Congress, was that of a
liberal, high minded, steadfast friend Of cor.
rect principles We know of no Wing Journal
in the State, that has expressed wish for bis
retiracv. No arm but that Of Loeofocoism, will
be raised 10 strike him down. Ifhe desires to
retire, it must be from other considerations than
those mentioned by the True Democrat. What
bis desires are We pretend not to say. His de-
clination would not have the effect to unite bis
friends on Mr.. Lewis. The latter, we know,
did not wish to be a candidate for Governor
His declination would not surprise u.s. On
the contrary, if he is animated by the spirit
which has been exhibited by some Of his warm
est personal and political friends, he would be
prompted to take that STEP as the most effect
i've mode ofpreparing the way for the triumph
Of correct principles.-Samn,a Beacon.
