We copy the article below from the
Memphis (Tenn) Enquirer, which, from
the care and manner in which it is writ
ten, shows that the author has a wide
object In view and no common mind. He
opposes foreign emigr alton because those
emlgrSnts are opposed to slarery, and be
cause the large majority of them find their
homes in the Northern States in conse-
quence. We insert the article in order
that our readers may clearly understand
the spirit and in tent of large portion
of the people of the South, of whose
sentiments we believe the article in uues-
ton is the exponent. on the subject of
slavery. If we grant the correctness of
his premises. that slavery is great
national blessing. to be preserved and ex-
tended, the writer's argument may be
correct. But, knowing slavery to be
wrong from beginning to end, and in every
way as whole, bitter and unmitigated
curse, the article in question we must re-
gard as equally unworthy Of commenda-
ton. or of influence except in direction
contrary to the writer's intention. Gal

Across thy heart harp sweep.

THE OLD FOREST.

One fine day, while idly straying,
Came to an ancient wood,
Where the trees were fast decaying,
In their realms of solitude.
My site expresses were STOPPING,
Diraly in the weiId-like gloom;
Shadowy boughs were lowly dropping,
Like the willows DER tomb.
Lofty pines and oaks primeval,
Upward high their branches bore;
Rugged yews that seemed coeval
With the g sanity days of yore,'
Stood in the solemn silence, saving
Rustling leaves that fluttered low
On the dark boughs dimly waving
Der their sepulchres below.
Long l wandered till the santing
Sunbeams bathed in mystic gold
The forest and scene enchanting
To my vision did unfold.
Streaming richly through the pendant
Spray that waved in motley green;
Lighting up each nook respendent,
Till ii looked magic scene.
Long I gaze1 with admiration
On the woodland thus arrayed
Changing in its transformation
Glorious tints of Light and shade,
Twilight shadows gathered round me,
Still | fingered in the wood,
To its peaceful solitude.
Shadows deepened into sable
Hues that haunt the rayless night
Scarcely longer was | able
To discern ray of light;
Till at last the wild charm spurning,
As the night still darker grew,
Homeward then my footsteps turning,
To the forest babe adieu
