THE WATCH OF OTHER DAYS.
Il This Watch with time, has faded,
Its brightest hours have passed,
1t DER two years since cleaned
And tits running much too fast.
When first bought thee-s new one,
Its cases were bIig ht Sun rays;
But now it looks like an old one,
'Tis the Watch of other days!
The hands and works are both dirty,
Not vestge of polish is there
While the cases are loose and easy,
And stand much in need of repair.
The crystal and dial broken,
And IT'S time is not at all true;
So pll 60, without any jokin'
And consult BILL BARTHOLOMEW

something new. ia IS

eE9.. EgsgkeGse!Gs Speech.

Mr. WAKFIELD, arrived In our town yes
terday, and after q short notice, a respec-.
tible number of our citizens assembled, to
hear him speak. He addressed them in q
few remarks defining his position, in favor
of changing the Delaware treaty, SO as to
give every man preemption, and dwell
upon its injustice. He was in favor OF liberal
appropriations for making roads, and for i'm
proving the navigation of the Kansas river,
and for creating liberal fund for education,
and for granting homestead to every set
tier. He was against agitating the slavery
question at this time, as the Delegate could
have no vote upon TIE question. He was
born in South Carolina, and raised in Ken
tucky, Lad lived In free States, been a p;o-
neer all his life; had held many offices Of
pubic trust, was acquainted with many ofthe
western members of Congress- and believed
he could exercise an influence with them
that he was IN favor Of this being a free
State, was {. free soiler, was opposed 10 at
olitionism, and free negroes settling III this
Territory. He said he was an an actual
resident Of the Territory, with his wife
and children around him, and doubted
whether eithe Gen. Whitfield OF BIr
Fspneken, could claim Iona fde resi-
dence in Kansas. He said he had can
vassed a large portion of the Territory,
was satisfied that the race was between
himself and Gen. Whitfield, and that one
or the other Of them must be elected-that
no other person would be inthe way. Now
said he, choose whom you will have.
Col. SAFFoRD, being called on responded
and confirmed what Mr. WAkEF1E1D had
said, and made some illusions 10 the posi-
ton of the other candidates. Mr EdcCrea
and Judge Fenneken, come in for the lar
gest share of his remarks. He closed by
urgin the claim OF lIr. Wakefield, as pi-
oneer, man of intelligence, wealth and III
fluence, and read from some papers of ILL
nois and Iowa, complimentary notices of Mr..
Wakefield.
This is the substance of the remarks
We have not room for comment. The peo-
pie now have the opinions of the candidate S,
they can judge for themselves.
