EvThe following lines are James

and they need no higher praise,
"IIarkl that rustic of dress, ~
Stiff with lavish costliness;
Here comes one whose cheek would
flush
But TO have her garments brush
'Gainst the girl whose fingers thin
Wove the weary 'broidery in, '.'e
Andin midnights chill and murk
Stitched her life into the work; Z,
Bending backward from her toll,
Lest her tears the silk might soil:
Shaping from her bitter thought
Heart's-ease and Gorget'mc.noi;
Satirizing her despair ta.
With the emblems woven there" "

Mr. Dixon--If the Senator kn ows
nothieg of the Know Nothings, itseems
to me very strange that he should pre-.
tend here 20 say what the principles OF
the Know Nothings are. 1 should like
him to explain If he knows nothing of
the Know Nothings or their principles,
how does he read here the principles Of
the Know Nothings. = Laughter. - .
Mr.. Seward.--If my learned and ex-
cellRnt friend, the honorable Senator
from Keutuck, had paid attention TO
what said, he would have learned, in
the first place, that [ said nothing OF the
Know Notkings. Ny reason for il is,
that always say nothing OF that of

cuse me from further answering his
