THE RROGREss OF THE NEBRASKA
PLOT.

The plotters of the Nebraska porhdy have re-
os;vad within the past week, what seems uni
VERBALLY conceded 10 be an important and ON
nous check in their villainous career. 1t was
their plan to get this bill, when taken up in
Abe House. referred to the Committee en- Terri
tories. who, being part and parcel Of the same
conspiracy, were to retain it till such time as
the leaders should get every thing prepared for
the consumation, then report it and have it forced
through the Heuso under the previous ques-
tion, which cuts off all debate and leaves the
hill to the instant decision of the shent votes of
of a maicritv. But in this, as viii be seen by
the congressional Journal, they have been de-
p Saated, The Bill has been taken up, and, after
sharp debate, referred to the Committee Of
the Whole, which not only ensures an unre-
stricted debate, but places the bill SO ia. off en-
the roll Of bills tc be taken up in order, as TO
give ample time for the people, through their
legislatures, State Conventions and primary
meetings. to give their expressions on this new
and stupendous aggression Of the Slave Power.
This is undoubtedly an advantage gained to
freedom. But with the small majority--only
l4--by which it was gained, the uncertainty of
the indication that these fourteen will all give
their final votes against the bill, and still great
at uncertainty in respect to the Votes OF the ~
absentees Or dodgers (l3 of whom are irem the
Slave States,) we cannot, fer the life ct us, see
in this vote that hagbingar Of the iinal defeat
of the measure that seems to be seen by many
of QUIZ contemporaries. Indeed we are mere
fearful Of the result thar before, The whole
power and patronage Of the Federal Govern
ment are enlisted IN the plan. This, in all con-
science, is formidable enough to resist; but Wien
we add to this the influence Of 1900 millions OF
Slave capital in direct interest in the success eff
the measure, itconstitutes an appalling pewor-
far too much 30, it seems to us, to admit of
much hope that the dark ard damsing deed is
not destined to be accomplished.
But if it be accomplished, s3 much the worse
for the movers and abetters--se much the worse
for the Administration that lEa kes itsolfrespon-
sible for it, and 50 much the werse Ter that par
ty that does not promptly repudiatc it, Poiit-
caiiy their fates will all b, sealed, and they will
all sink into one common grave together, or else
the American Union will be Union no longer.

CARRY NE HOME TO DIE.

Ocarry me back to my childhood's home,
Where the ocean surges roar,
Where its pillows dash on rock bound
coast,
And moan forever more.
lam pining away in strangers land,
Beneath a strangers eye,
O carry me home, O carry me home,
q carry mc home to die.
I sigh in vain for my native hills,
Their sweet and balmy air
Would watt away from my youthful brow
Each trace Of gloomy care;
I sigh to breathe the air of home,
To gaze on Its starry sky,
Q carry me komc, o carry me home,
O carry me home to die.
/ long to see ny mother again,
And hear her sweetly say,
"Comc weary dove here is thy home,
Then fold thy wings and stay"
sTwould ease nv pain to hear her voice,
When death had darkened my eye,
O csrry me home, 0 carry me home,
o carry me home to die.
Then let me rest in peaceful grave,
Beside the loved and dead,
For the quiet earth is the only place,
To rest my weary head.
I would sleep sweetly if you buried me
there,
Beneath New England's sky,
o carry me home, o carry me home,
o carry me home to die.

OUR YOUNGEST.

We knelt at evening by bis couch,
Our hearts brimful ofjoy;
And thanked our Father for the gift
OF this, our darling boy.
We gazed upon bis snowy brow
: Ills lids closed DER his eyes
And thought, s'How beautifully, here,
Oar sleeping Eddy lics.'
His red lips parted; two small teeth
s;honc out like little pearls,
And ON the pillow fell a shower
OF brigh. aud shining curls.
he vas our youngest, best beloved,
And We a happy pair
We gently pressed his dimplcd hands
Aud gently kissed his hair.
So night came down. and with the morn
The Sabbath MON Of love-
We sought him, but Our Father, God,
Had called the boy above.
Oh. yer more his soft blue eyes
VIE meet the gaze of ours,
Oh j. never more his red lips breathe
The fragrance Of the flowers.
o. never more his tiny clasp
Around our necks be drawn.
Nor music Of his angel voice
Awake us at the dawn.
We knelt beside an empty couch,
That holiest morn Of seven!
Thesun had arisen once more,
Our son had arisen in heaven!

WHY Mr.. BUCHANAN NEVER Man.

Haven Palladium, writing from Lam

ga short distance from the city is.the
residence of the Hon. James Buchanan,
American Ambassador to the Court Of
St. James. Its general appearance at
once indicates that no fair hand is there
to train the creeping vines or budding
roses to their beftting place-as you arc
aware that the honorable gentleman still
remains in single blessedness The s:o-
ry is briefly told Paying his addresses
to beautiful lady of this city, each be-

company to a party at a friends which

ments. Circumstances rendering it ne
cessary, he, late in the evening, gallant
ed young lady to her home, and on the
way-t1sy met. Mortified and chagrin-
ed at what she deemed unfaitheulness
and desertion, and imagining the worst,
she left the city early in the morning,
and returned, a corpse. Such is the sad
story of his early love, nor can the high
places Of distinction and trust make him
forget, nor the wreaths Of honor that en-
circle his brows bury the memory Of the
early loved and lost"

RESPECT FOR THE AGED.

Let those young men who are ap.
preaching (or those more mature, who
have reached) the top Of the hill Of life
po nder upon the words which follow:
1--WE love the man or the woman who
looks reyerently upon those whose steps
are fast going down to the grave.
Young people too often shun the aged
as though their unavoidable in6rmities
were contagious. Old hearts are griev-
ed and weep in secret at such treatment.
They themselves cling fondly to the
young and feel quickly the kindly tone
or the helping hand. The old mans
mind has garnered good store of obser-
vation and experience, and he is always
happy to impartit to others. His heart
responds quickly to the voice Of youth,
and the dim eye kindles with renew
ed light as be talks Of the Past.
1--WE love the old man or woman.
They are but a little way before US in
the onward march of life. A few brief
years, at most, and ace, if our lives are
spared, shall stand, as they stand, in tho
dim twilight of two worlds. Do the
young ever think Of this9 Do they ev-
er dream that years will steal upon them
until their black locks are gray, and
their now strong limbs shrunken and
tremulous9 Does the spring time Of
years last to the journeys end? Is
there no autumn?-no cherries winter?
Yes, young man-young maiden--you
too are growing old! You would not
wish to be Stunned because Time had
carried You into the 'scre. the yellow
leaf Of earthly existance
"Shun not, then, the old. It is pain
full to witness such neglect Of thatrven-
Grafton and respect to those who, like
ripened shocks of grain, arc awaiting the
harvest of death:
" Speak gently to the aged one,
Grieve not the care-worn heart!
The sands Of life are well nigh run
Let such in peace depart!'"
"Pity old age, within whose silver
hairs honor and reverence ever,nore
have reigned! Think how soon you
may be called to say in the touching
language of the poet SourHEY-
My hopes are with THE DEAD; anon
My place with them will be,
And I with them shall travel on,
To all eternity:
Yet leaving here name, trust,
That shall not perish in the dust ~
But "the memory Of the wicked'' wo
are told "shail perish;" and is it leas
than wickedness to fail to do honor and
reverence to the sorrows and infrmities
