THE EMULATION OF TREASON.

We perceive that Mr. Edmund Burke is hugely reioced
because he and his companions in politics have at last
succeeded in forcing fusion between the abolitonss and
those recreant democrats who prefer such prostued nup
tails and perceive ALSO that his malignant cry feebly
echoed by certain abolition and wing journals Who until
this moment have only recognised him bad imitation
of honest How true teacher is experience! how
wise its essons how eloquent its warnngs The brave
and the just spirit looks into the volume which preserves
its instructions for poserity with unappaled and refresh
ened instincts gathering strength from its invocatons, and
admonons from its examples. The selfish corrupt and
Burke, and those he msead-hy from
its teachings from monitor whose severity they know,
and whose truths they fear That Burke should applaud
his treason is natural that he should glory in using
small minority to wound the honest democracy that had
elevated and trusted him, is natural Arnold wrote most
elaborate scholarke and impudent defence of his trea
and England circulated it and honored him. But Ar
mold went to his account nevertheless and long before he
went to his grave he utterly out of the living
world of honest and of gallant men, in England il
his pernicous soul roed an inch day. Burke is already
joined to the dark society of Hale Fos Phillips Garrison,
and Sumner; and New Hampshire will feel relieved now
that the viper she has warmed at her hesonc has been
committed to its kindred

that it is port and United States military depot &C. &c
and further showing that it surveyed by A. B. Gray
United States boundary commission and 4 d. Johns Uni

aFor the rest this San Diego is south the old San
Diego and far south that road San Francisco could

ats conception dates with the sojourn of the boundary
commission there some i've or six years back and Mr.
Bartlett, who dismissed from that commission, has
often told that the Boundary survey delayed eight
months waiting for the survey of that town.
Mr. Emory of the Typographical corps and who of
the boundary commission and is in charge OF the Pacific
route surveys and who is brothernaw of the president
Of tho one hundred million company is said to be interest
ed in this city"
Now, sir, pronounce these charges and nsinuations
against malicious and false, and without even the
shadow Of truth

permitted any person whom had control to survey,

To show more concusively the nfamy and injustice OF
his insinuation in connection with my duties the Pacific

Major Emory is not the submit to injury of this
kind without repeng the assault IT will be seen from
his letter below that he meets the charges of Col Benton
with straightforward denial which will satisfy all UNI
prejudced minds that he has been wanonly and unusty
assalcd. This is one additional proof that Col Bentons

WE ARE GROWING OLD TOGETHER.

BYH H. L. SPENCER.
We are growing old together,
Thou dearest OF the dear;
The morning OF our life is past
And the evening shades appear;
Some friends we loved are in their graves,
And many are estranged;
But in sunshine and in shadow
Our hearts have never Changed.
We are growing old together
The Wv aud the tree
A fteing emblem is, dear,
Ot the love 'twixt you and me;
To be worthy of each other
In the past was all orr aim;
And It's pleasant now to know, dear,
Our hearts are still the same.
We are growing old together
Together may we die
Together may our spirits soar
To our home beyond the sky;
For we loved as few can love, dear,
When lies fowery paths we ranged;
And though we've wandered long here,
Our hearts have never changed.

The DYING SwAN.-"The dying swan sings its
exequial hymn" We little thought when we
reaG the above harmonious verse in our school
DAYS, that it had any foundation in fact. But Mr.
Hallet, OF Hooe, informs ms, says Plymouth pa
per, thai it is his privilege and pleasure to feed
the swans OF Col Harris, at Radord; and that
recently lie observed ore OF them swimming about
pond, and uttering wild, nelodious wailing
sound such as be had never heard in his life, and
which greatly attracted his attention The poor
swan, presclent OF his fate. was singing its own
dirse for, although in apparently good health at
that time it was found not many hours afterwards
floating in the pond, quite dead. How beautiful
ly is this fact in history of the described by
the poet in these lines:
"The swat, my love,
He is floating down from his native grove,
No loved one now, no nesting nigh;
He is floating down by himself to die
Death darkens his eye and unplumes his wings
Yet his sweetest song is the last he sings.
Live so, my love, that when death shall come,
Swan-like and sweet it may wait thee home"
