.N'O OY'KEE.

HAVING purchased the interest of my AA brother, GEORGE PORTER, in the Steam Mill, I would respectfully inform the citizens of Helena, Phillips county, neighboring DOT tion of Mississippi, and public generally, that the business will be conducted by myself alone, and in the same manner as heretofore-always keeping on hand every description of LUM- BER sawed at this Mill-which will be sold as low as possible at the present prices of tim ber l shall devote my entire time to the business of the Mill, and will endeavor to ren- der satisfaction to all who trade with me. A continuance of the old custom is respectfully solicited.
 The nature of my business being such as to require money to carry it on, am compelled to sell exclusively for cash-and I hope nc one will ask me to do otherwise, as I cannot and will not do it.

Positive Proof of a "Whig
 Trick"

To the great Democratic party { that aca8) it may be interesting to know that the National Platform of the American party, lately adopted at Phil adelphia, and now winning over to its support all the free and Independent men of the South, was drawn up by the same gentleman, Judge CONE, of Georgia, who drew up the national Democratic platform of 1848, which was affirmed in the Democratic con- vention of 1852. This is, probably, the last evidence that we shall adduce to show that the American party is ga Whig trick.'' The "jury'' can take the case Egg. g. Eaq.

heard from out the dreary realms Of sorrow
The various tongues of WO:
One said, "ls there hope in the to-mor

And many answered, "Now
And they arose and mingled their loud voices,
And cried in bitter breath,
"In all cur joy the past alone rejoees--
There is no JOY but Death.
ooh! dreadful Past, beyond the midnight
Thou hast usurped our peace,
And if the angel Memory be immortal,
When shall this anguish ceasel"
And suddenly within the darkened distance
The solemn past replied
ain my domains your joys have no existence;
Your hopes, they have not died
"Naught comes to me except those ghosts
detested,
Phantoms Of Wrong and Pain;
But whatsoe'cr Affection hath invested,
The eternal years retain.
"Then stand no more with look and souls
detected,
To WOO and win despair;
The joys yc mourn the future hath collected,
Your hopes are gathered there.
And, as the dew which leaves the morning
flowers
Augments the after lain,
And as the blooms which fall from summer

Are multiplied again
So shall the Joys the future holds in keeping
Augment your after peace;
So shall your hopes, which now are only

Ii is n great prohlem in statemapshin visa

1t is great problem in statemanship wise
ly to control the mingling of races into one
nationality. The dominant race must regu-
late the incoming class. Such is political dos
tiny, and history proves it. 1t is the only
salvation of both. 1t is the compact of the
incoming race. Legislation must cooperate
with time and circumstances in working out
this decree of God, this sxiom of political
philosophy, this theory of nationality.
To dispel from popular use every foreign
language, so great presever of unassimilat-
ing elements of characterize print all public
documents in the English tongue alone-to
ordain that all schools aided by the State
shall use the same language-to disband mill
itary companies founded on and developing
exclusive foreign sympathies-to discourage
imported political demagogues, the broken
down leaders of insular asgrarianism or con-
tnental red repubcanism, whose trade here is
to oput themselves at the head ftheir deluded
countrymen, TO organize prejudice, to vitslze
foreign feeling and MOI bid passion, and then
sell themselves to the highest partisan bidder
to purify and ennoble the elective franchise
to adopt a carefully guarded check list
throughout tie nation-to cultivate living
and energetic Dationaity--to develop high
and vital patriotism-to Americanize Amer
ca-to retain the Bible in our common schools
to keep entire the separation of church
and state-to nationalize before we naturalize,
and to educate before either-to guard against
citizenship becoming cheap--all these consti-
tute work transcending the ordinary plat
form of party, and ranking with the great
movements that originally found nations.
Your judcious and decided action on the
important subjects thus briefly stated will
necessarily be felt beyond the limits of Mas
sachusetts. 1t will affect the legislation Of
other states, and to some extent, probably, in
fluence the proceedings Of Congress ITSELF
We wish our army Americanized, our navy
NationaiEed. We wish the restriction as to
birth, now applicable to the Office of President
extended to members of the Cabinet and of
Congress, to the Judges of the Supreme Court
and to all our diplomatic representatives
abroad. We desire vital amendment of
the naturalization laws, and an uniform re-
quirement OF twenty years residence in
the United States before tho elective fran
chse is conferred upon aliens. We wish
stringent national laws regarding immigrs-
ton, the imposition of an uniform and suii-
cient capitation tax, and the universal depor-
tation of criminals and paupers shipped to
our shores. These and other reforms can
only be consummated through an American
President and an American Congress Your
harmony, and firm adherence to principle,
must needs have no nconsiderable influence
in fastening this result.

The times are peculiarly proptious Tor the

parties whose struggles constitute our politi-
cal history; in the general reso uton Of these
bodies into their individual elements; when
old issues are obsolete or dying out, the indi-
vduaI, freed from the tyrany Of party, nalu-

OF our government, aud to the sentiments and
purposes Of its founders. The remarkable
spectacle presented TO the eyes Of our peo-
pie naturally and wisely jealous Of their ma

My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
And ere the shades of evening close
Is scattered on the ground to die;
Yet on that roses humble bed
The softest dews of night are shed,
AS though she wept such waste to see
But none shall drop tear for me.
My life is like the summer leaf
That trembles in the moen's pale ray,
Its hold is fral, its date is brief,
Restless, aud soon to pass away.
Yet when that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The wind bewail the lealless tree:
But none shall breathe one sigh for mo.
My life is like the prints which feet
Have left on Zampa's desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
All trace will vanish from the sand.
Yet as if grieving to efface
All vestige Of the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the sea
But none shall thus lament for me.
