For the National Era.
SLEEP NO NOR K &.
BY A. A. NICHOLSON,

BY A. A. NARhSA@~
Light Is dawning-mOrn is breaking
Clouds are fleeing on their way
Natures minstrolsy is waking
To life ofperfect day;
Incidence and ease forsaking,
Up, and labor while ye may.
Up. and onward, faithful steward!
Human veal demands thy aid.
There arc toils to be endured.
There are evils to be stay'd.
Be by no false beacon lured,
Be by perils undismay'd!
Let thy courage be undaunted
When the conflict is begun;
Manly hearts alone arc wanted
Daring deeds are to be done.
There are foes to be supplanted-
There are battles to be won.
Man by man hath been imbruted;
Earth is vocal With his signs;
Gods high affairs are polluted
With unholy sacrifice;
Errors reign Is undisputed,
Truth is crush'd by hoary lies
Warden Of the goodly treasure
Guardian of the public veal
Let not Incidence nor pleasure
Stake thy loyalty oszcal;
Stand thou by yon dark embrasure-
Answer back each battle peal
Soldier mid thy dreams Of glory,
Strike for liberty and right;
Let not scenes of carnage CORY
Stay thee. nor appal thy sight;
Hand to hand, with errors hoary,
Strive, and vanquish in the fight
Man! whatever be thy station
Woman with thy hearts rich lore,
High and low, Of every nation,
Kindred tongue on sea and shore
Join the work Of mans salvation,
Light Is dswning-sleep no more
rndon, Vermont august, 1853.

gone on flying visit to Ohio after his boys

short visit he made to that city:
"Dr Bailey, of the Washington National

The Doctor made flying visit to this city, tor
one of his little daughters who was lett here

abroad. We were glad to see that he returns
in good health with heart and spirits strength

and of Americanizing the world. Long may

Emigration, according to this statement is
going on at the rate of about 100000 per an
mum. England may therefore put down among
her exports this number Of men and women,
which she has been at the cost of rearing to
man and womanhood, for which che gets no
returns. If the expense OF raising each Of these
reaches only $500, the mother country is two
hundred and thirty millions out Of pocket by
this branch of her commerce every year. She
escapes the expense Of supporting some of them
in her poor'houses and Of hanging and trans
porting others; but debitum, she has the bur
den Of the in6rm, and the heavy item Of rear
ing half million of infants in their stead who
will fit as soon as they are well grown. A
losing business this, certainly. Virginia makes
a better thing Of it, in the business Of exporting
her products in poor people. They are no'
really better article than Irish, Welsh, Scotch
and English, men and women--neither hand

on TO the question of slavery This circumstance attes's
be eyis,cnce of General conviction that tho President VIII
NOT be wanting in regard for the rights OF the Soulh oh
this one point al eas both friend and foe are satisfied
We are cor fJcn, that We hazard nothing in predicting
that the general character Of the Message Will oe exactly
and entirely in accordance with the sentiments OF lhe State
ri,b,s Democracy of Virginia II is opinion that Pre-
es, Pierce will neither any issue of Importance nor
CONCEAL his sentiments in the vague gcneracs OF ambsu'
ous obraseology. He will boldly meet the great questions
of the day. will proclaim his opinions in The unequVo
cal and emphatic language of an honest and earnest man
The questions Of internal improvement by the Federal goV
erpmeut of Rivers and abors and of Free Trade vii! be
argued and disposed Of in the spirit and in accordance with
the authority of Jefferson and Madison.

which the Wing Press assume IN order TO weaken he ELECT
of the sound doctrines of the Message We must interpret
