MISCHIEF MAKERS.

Oh! could there in the world be found
Some little spot Of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might 60 round
Without the village tattling!
How doubly blest that spot would be
Where ali might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter Misery,
ofgossips' endless prattling.
Ifsuch a spot were really known,
Dame Peace might call it as her own'
And in it she might fix her throne,
For ever and for ever;
There like queen might reign ana iEe'
While every one would soon forgive
Tbe little sights they might receive
',And be offended never.
,1is mischief makers that remove
F,rfrom bur hearts the warmths Oh ICVo'
And lead US all to disapproVe
What gives another pleasure;
Thov seem 10 take ones part but wien
THEY'VE heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them again.
Mix'd up with poisonous measure
And then they've such cunning way
OF telling ill.meant tales, they say,
"Don't mention it, pray,
Iwould not tell another"
Straight to your neighbors they CO.
Narrating' everything they know
And break thepeace ofhigh and low
Wife, husband, friend and bto'her'
oh, that the mischief making crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue
That every one might know them!
Then would our villagers forget
Torage and quarrel, fume 0ndtFet'
And falling into an angry pet
With things so much below them.
For 'tisa sad degrading part
To make anothers bosom smart,
And plant dagger in the heart
We ought to love and cherish
Then let us evetfnore be found
In ouietness with all around,
While friendship Joy and peace abound
And angry feelings perish

E4FA truly liberal man employs, all the
means in his power to do. al the gool he
can, He does not rush in with fire and
sword to abolish imperfectious, which are
sometimes unavoidable. He endeavors, by
cautious progress, to remove the ills Of the
body polite; but he eschews violent meas

an other. In this imperfect world of ours.

Resolved, That the platforms adopted at Bal

contain no doctrines of vital necessity to the
success of true Democracy and Repubhcanism,
which are not contained in the platform of the
Free Democracy that there is no essential dit
ference as to principles between the platforms
OF the two old parties and that the distinguish
ing difference between them and the platform
which we support is, that those platforms
pledge their adherence to the support of the
Compromise measures as fnality,o including
the Fugitive Slave Law, and the suppression of
free discussion, which make adherence to the
demands of the Slave Power paramount po-
litical duty with all who support them while
our platform repudiates the Compromise as a
fnality, demands the repeal of the Fugitive
Slave Law, the prohibition Of Slavery in the
Territories, the abolition of Slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia, aud in all places under the
. j
al Government should in the exercise of it's

perpetuate, and extend freedom and free insti-
buttons in this and all other lands, by vigi-
liant exercise of its powers to join with us in
the support of these doctrines, coupled with q
sound, democratic, progressive, and Just nation
! al policy, both at homo and abroad.
Resolved, That we deem a thorough reform
in the administration of our State by which
greater economy is insured and a check given
to the partial, monopolizing, and class legisla-
ton which has prevailed for years, is of vital
Importance in our State policy and that we
arc ready to cooperate with men of all parties
