And the months own name was gave her

All the music that is ringing
Where the birds and brooks are singing,

But upon our peaceful dwelling
Sunshine smiles for aye;
For, within this home Of ours,
Though the bleak December lowers,
Dwels the light Of all our nowers-

Z- Here is another Of Barry Cornwsll's litt
gems. Store il away in the memory.
When the winter bloweth loud,
And the earth Is in a shroud,
Bitter rain and binding snow,
Dimming every dream below,
Cheerily cheenly
There is e'er spot Of green,
Whence the Heavens may be seen.
When our purse is shrinking fast,
And our friend is lost, (ihe last y
And the world doth pour its pain
Sharper than the frozen rain;
Cheerily, cheerily!
There il still spot OF green,
Whence the Heavens may be seen.
Let us never greet despair
While the little spot is there;
For winter brgh,eneth into May,
And sullen night to sunny day;
So, cheerily che-rily!
Hopeful, patient and serene,
Let Us seek the spot OF green,
Whence the Heavens may be seen.

tY' 1t was reserved, remarks the New
York Herald, for Mr. Pierce to galvanize the
old native feeling into new life by his des-
perate disregard of his duty to his country
men, and his reckless appointment of incapa-
BILE worthless foreigners to office. He has
done the work well. First disgusting demo-
Gratis with the democratic party to which he
owed his elevation, and thus providing the
new party with n splendid batch of available
recruits, he has carried out the design to ad-
miration by sending such men as Belmont,
Soule and'Owen to Europe, and providing
the United States with representatives who
neither represent the people, nor the spirit,
nor the character of the nation.

TIE AMERICAN ORGAN.

We have received the first number of
"fhe American Organ" large and hand
somely printed paper just started at Wash
ington City, by an association of Native
Americans, and edited by Vespian Ellis
The editorials are abundantly demonstrative
of bold and vigorous mind at its head
Price-Daily, $500 peryear; Weekly, S2OO.
We annex an extract from its Bill Of Princi.
pies:
First. We shall advocate a repeal of the
laws of naturalization, or If that cannot be
accomplished, then such a modification of
those laws, as will prevent future immigrants
from becoming citizens, short of a residence
of twenty-one years, after taking the oath of
allegiance to the United States, and of a6u.
ration of all other powers, potentates and
princes.
Second We shall advocate the passage of
stringent law by Congress to prevent the
immigration hither of foreigners, who are e.
Tier paupers or criminals, and to send back to
the countries from which they come all such
foreigners of these classes as may, in viola
ton of such law, hereafter reach our ports;
and TO require the President of the United
States to demand from any goyernment,w which
may send hither such classes of its subjects,
immediate and ample satisfaction for such Out
rage, and proper indemnity against the rep
etition thereof"
Fourth. We shall advocate and urge the
adoption of such an amended form Of an oath
10 support the Constitution of The United States,
and to be administered to all persons elected
or appointed to any Office of trust, honor, or
emolument, under the Federal or State gov
ernments, as will etfectualy exclude from
such Offices all persons, who shall not directly
and explicitly recognise the obligations and
binding force of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, us paramount to all obligations Of
adhesion or allegiance to any foreign prince,
power, potentate, or authority whatever, I'M
der any and all circumstances"
Eighth. We shall oppose and protest
against all a6ridgment of religious liberty,
holding it rs cardinal maxim, that religious
faith is n question between each individual
and his God, and over which no political gov
eminent, or other human power, can right
fully exercise any supervision or control, at
any time, in any place, or in any FORM"
"Ienth. We shall maintain and defend the
constitution as it stands, the Union as it ex-
lists, and the rights of the STATES, without di.
minution as guaranteed thereby: opposing at
all times, and to the extent of our ability and
influence, all who may assail them, or either
of them"

sY- Santa Anna is said to be again so
short of funds that he is making a strenuous
effort to negotiate or anticipate the payment
of the remaining 100000 of The American
indemnity, before the adjustment of the boun-
dairy, upon which it is contingent. The con-
scripton for the purpose of filing the ranks
of the army is being actively carried on in
the department of Vera Cruz. The people
are very 10th to fight for Santa Anna, and
many of the conscripts have to be tied
together until properly placed in the bar
racks.

FIRE IN MARIETTA-We understand that
a FIRE broke out in Wadsworth's Tin Shop,
in Marietta, about o'clock on Sunday morn

of buildings in which it was situated, inclu-

SLAVE TRADE DENOUNCED.

The Baltimore Patriot speaks the real sem
timents of nineteen-twenteths of the South
ern people, in the following article:
We claim to know the numerical sentiment
OF the Southern States as well rs any IN them.
IL is based upon an intimate and extended
knowledge of and personal Intercourse with
the people of that section, from the planter
who makes single hogshead of tobacco, the
he-dsman who salts few head of stock in
the range of the mountains, the collector Of
tar, pitch and turpentine, or the sugar or cot
ton planter upon the most extensive scale
The South is an extended empire, embracing
lnnumerable interests-nota section with so-
lated interests or antideluvian opinions. The
Charleston Mercury, which seems to consider
that the South is restricted to the region of
long moss, ague and fever, metaphysics and
Madeira, advocates re-opening the SlaveTrade.
So far rs that Journal chooses to advocate that
or any other extreme opinion, it has unques-
toned right to do so; but it has no right to
assert that this is the opinion of the South,
because i. is charge that preludices the
South in the estimation of the World. We
therefore rest the question upon the ar
gument Of the Mercury, and the very obvious
reply of the New York Commercial and 9TH
er papers, 10 the impoicy and impro-
prieiy of such a measure. II any desire to
test the popularity of re-opening the slave
trade, let them cause it to be introduced into
Congress. We will not only consent to
abide by the decision of the Southern men,
bers of that body, but we would be glad to
take any reasonable wager that the South
ern vote upon the question is two TO one
against it.
Having been engaged in rebuking the
Freesoil enemies of the South in their unwar-
rantable endeavor to invade her rights and
the peace of the Union, we cannot consent
that an imputation so injurious shall go forth
as the sentiment of the South, and so far as
we are authorized to express its opinion, we
give an unqualified assurance that the South
has no such purpose, and if necessary we can
demonstrate that it is in no respect the inter-
est of those who own slaves that the protec-
ton of non importation should be taken off,
and the foreign article admitted in ruiaous
competition with their own property. Let
the Southern press speak.

RAILROAD IEvENT1oN.-We see II stated
that, an improvement in railroad brakes has
been invented by Mr.. Rice, of Hallowell,
Mass, by which, judging from the trials with
it already made, it is believed that train of
cars may be stopped in one.third to one-half
the time required by the old brake. 1t is an
iron shoe brake, so constructed as topress on
the rail instead of the Wheel The shoe is
about Is inches long, turning up at each end
so as not to hit against any slight unevenness
on the rails, and moves by the same nppara-
tus as the common brakes When II presses
on the rails il bears the whole weight Of the
load, and slides on the rails.

further, that il the whole Provincial aid were

eK- There are old fogy wings as well MS
did fogy democrats, who persist in the
delusion that the wing and democratic par
ties are still in existence Us distinctive and
political organizations, and who look upon
every movement that does not conform to
the tenets or usages of one or the other of
these parties us formerly practiced, as some
thing that must be wrong and to be regarded
with much suspicion. The one cannot
realize the proposition that there can be vir.
ture in any organization not based upon pure
unaduterated whiggery, and the other has
been educated BY his party papers to believe
that tho perfection of all political combina-
tons, parties, or organizations was centered
in that which existed until but recently un-
der the name Of democracy" And hence
both cling to the old designations respective
ly, with tenacity little less than death-like.
An old gentleman called on us the other Gay
10 learn something about these "Know Moth
ings, MS they are called" He said he had al
ways been wing since tho formation Of the
party, that he expected to be wing as long
as he Iived-that he didn't believe the talk
about the wing party being dead-that par
ty based upon sound principles, such MS
that party had always contended for, could
not die-that it might be overwhelmed and
scattered, but would rally again and in the
end prove triumphant lie said he didn't un-
derstand the Know Nothing mOvement-he
had no particular objection TO their principles
rs far as they had been enunciatcd, but he
had been watching the papers, and that in a
majority of places where they had elected
candidates most of them happened to be in
dviduals who had formerly belonged to the
democratic party, and that fact had made him
suspicious that there was something wrong
about it, and that it might be trap set by
democrats to catch unwary wings, and that
the elamors and denunciations of the demo-
cratic press was no evidence to the contrary
that they had frequently denounced other
movements to cover up their designs, and in
a few months turned round and went it just
ns strong on the other tack. We told the
old gentleman that so far as we could COM
prehend the organization it had nothing to
do with the wing or democratic parties, but
It embraced large numbers from the ranks of
both, and proposed the correction of an evil
in the removal of which all had an equal in.
terest. lie persisted, however, in his suspi-
cions that democracy was at the bottom of
II, and that the movement would probably
end in the nomination and election Of de-
mecrat, who, as soon as he had delivered his
inaugural address, would lose sight of the
objects fer which he was elected. and give
himself up to tho work Of distributing the
spos among his old political associates and
ndhcrents. Finding il useless to contend, We
permitted our old friend to depart without
any further effort to remove his suspicious,
believing that time would prove their incor-
rerfness

sY The war appears to have so reused
the old martial spirit in England that recruits

least difficulty. A recruiting sergeant receives

men join, chat one recruiting officer alone
made f55 within three days. The war en-

HONESTY OF THE PosTMAsTERs.-"X." the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun gives some details of the immense work
done by some the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
illustrating the great industry and efficiency
displayed by our officials. Among other in
teresting details he furnishes the following
fact in reference to Postmasters:
81 have already stated that in spite of the
increased expenses of the increased useful
ness of the Post Office department. such is
the rigid economy with which it is being
managed, that with the increased revenue
from postage it is expected that in about four
years from now, provided the same econom-
cal administration of the department be con-
tinued, the revenue will cover the expendi-
ture. Since The 4th of March, 1852, but one
single defacation has occurred, Gin the post
master at Troy, but the sub.treasury act be-
ing promptly applied, the whole amount was
recovered, and no loss therefore was sustain
ed by the Department. Considering that
there are about $4,000 post offices in the Uni
ted States, the fact is certainly highly credit
able, both to the administration of the Post
Office department, and TO the discrimination
used IN the appointment of post masters"

battled along her frontier, from Cracoa to
