Singing through tho forest,
Raitllng over ridges,
Shooting u nder arches,
Rambling over bridges;
whlxzlng through the mountains,
Buzzing DER the vale;
Bless me this Is pleasant,
Riding on a rail !
Men OF different ss stations-
In the eye OF Fame,
Here are very quietly
Coming TO the same!
High and lovely people,
Birds OF every feather,
On a common Lowell,
Travelling together.
Gentlemen In shorts

Gentlemen at large
Talking very small;
Gentlemen In tights
With q looslsh mien;
Gen tlemen In gray
Looking rather green;
Centlcmon quite old,
Asking for the news;

Gentleman In claret
Sober as a vicar.
Gentleman In SNUFF,
Dreadfnlly In liquor.

How tho man grew stupid
From "Assoelatlon!"

Knowing "oggs are eggs"
Tightly no Ids her basket;
Feeling that n "smash."

Send her eggs 10 pot;
Rather prematurcly!
AncIentmaidon lady
Anxiously remarks
That there must be peril
Mongs 80 many sparks;
Roguish looking fellow,
Turning TO the stranger,
Says it's his opinion,
She Is out o. danger.

TO BE Or NOT TO BE.

The Commercial Adrertiser claims to be as
earnest as the best of us il its opposition to the
extension Of Slavery, and in its desire that the
wrong perpetrated in the enactment Of the Kan
sss Nebraska bill may be remedies; and yet
when ,he only practical means Of repairing that
misclef is proposed, our contemporary not only
refuses to adopt 1t, but even stlguatizes as
treacherous the conduct Of those wno do not
share its willingness to hold still while tue
na3scles are put upon their wrists aud the
yoke fastened 10 their necks.
Ths article in which these sentiments are de-
clared by our contemporary is copied in another
column; our readers will judge of 1t for them.

stand what The Commercial means by treachery.
So far os we can see nothing secret or decetful
is contemplated The Wing electors of the State
are summoned TO choose delegates 70 Syracuse
for the same Day that the Republicans are to
meet there. If the Wings are in favor OF COM
biniDg with TIE Republicans, they will send men
there with instructions to THAI effect If they
are oppo.ed 10 such combination, they will act
sdingly We can conceive of nothing i'm
proper or unfair In this movement Perhaps, on
second thoughts, The Commercial VIII withdraw
its UT just and unfounded imputation.
But our contemporary is not satisfied with the
platform of tho Republicans. Only day or two
ago it was laughing with its wonted genial wit
and gentle satire at the con tructon OF plat

rogatory and useless. Now, however, 1t finds
faul, with the new party, not for having made a
platform at all, but for not having made enoagh
of ore The idea Of restoring the Missouri Pro-
hibitcn and restraining slavery within Its an
c;ent limits is not sufficient. 1t is q local or
sectional idea, Gays our contemporary, aud suca
il has no faith in. This, however, seems to US,
with all Difference, 20 overlook tue truth that
in free ceartry, aud above all in republic
where fundamental questions Of government are
settled, parties will always be formed according
to 4 necessities Of the times If there are
mary questions at Issue before the people we
shall have parties based upon them; but IT, in
any emergency, single question IS forced into
exceeding p ominsnce so as to oyersh idow aud
absorb all others, why then, as a matter Of
course, parties will be organized aud pit.ed
sgainst each other with reference to that ques-
tion alone.
Such is now the case with the question of
Slavery Extension. This is notorious to every
body, and We need not 60 into any argument to
prove it. BY the action of the Federal Admin
istrstion and its willing tools in Congress Of the
South and Of the armed gangs Of Missouri slave
drivers, that question has been forced into de-
gree Of prominence and has assumed proper

THE MISSOURI CONVENTION.

The decision which the Missouri Conve9tion
has come t, is what mi ght be expected from
the late antecedents in that qurter. Tue
platform " laid down is suited to a negro
plantation. but will not answer for this latitude.
Discussion is denounced: dumb, deaf and ser
vile must ell citizens be if the Union is TO con-
tinue, otherwise disruption is inevitable. The
resolution adopted BY many Of the Northern
States not 10 admit new Slave States is declared
hostile TO the Constitution - to that Constitu-
tion which was made for the ends of Justice
and liberty, and does not mention the word
Slave or Slavery. We are further informed
that the diffusion Of Slavery tends 70 ameliorate
the condition Of the slave. Accordingly if
Slsvery were dfrused through the Free States,
Canada and Mexico, it would be mitigating
process ID favor of the slave We have hther-
10 been told by the authorities in favor OF Slave
~ that the inst tuition needed no amelioration;
that it was dvinely appointed; that il dropped
like mama from the lofty ages Of the angels and
prophets, and all history had recognized il ss
useful, elegant and agreeable. What DO the
Atchison and S,riDgfellow rabble in solemn con-
Glaze mean then by asserting that expansion is
ameloration in Slavery Is Slavery, after all,
in their view like the odors Of graveyard, that
require the buxom breeze and looming land
scape TO refine lhem into impalpabiltyl There
lie certainly hitch here in the divine rhetoric
Of whips, chains, boed-hounds aud funeral
pyres Is the condition Of the slave better for

The westber yesterday was the hottest thus
fer this sessor, and we think the hottest for
many years. In this City the mercury ranged

City Ferry House, I01o; at Chicago, 100; at
Troy and Albany, 9ic to go; at Baltimore, 96o;
and sitter this pattern IN otnsr places. FOctd-
nsteiy there was slight breeze all day, which
rendered the heat more endurable. AT Q P. M
we hsd shower, with high wind aud VIVID
lightning, but it was apparently of quite limited
extent. At midnight tie thermometer il the
coolest part Of our editorial rooms marked %.
Some new adjective is wanted to characterize
such unparalleled heat.
