Horrid Oaths.

In times past, when patriots thought
their county imperileds they deemed it no
crime to unite together for her protection
from whatever danger might threaten her;
nor even to bind themselves by oaths to ac-
complish such holy purpose Patriots
practiced it. poets praised il, and no one
censured it, unless. perhaps the tyrants
whose power might thereby be destroyed.
Thus "Warsaw's last champion at the
mention of his country, exclaims-
By that dear name we wave. the sword on
high,
And swear for her to live. with her to die.
And to the yeomanry Of England. the
poet exclaims
Then rise fellow -freemen, and stretch the
right hand,
And swear to prevail in our dear native
land.
Yet when freemen of America swear to
prevail in their dear native land, all the par.
ty in power and3their minions cry abou
horrid oaths! And when one violates. his
oath. there are many found |ojdatify'. him
in SO dong, instead of crying,
0 monstrous treacheryl can it be SO,
That in alliance, amity, and oaths,
There should be found such false dissemb
ling guile?
We have been asked whether we know

draw from our party without committing
perjury The question seems strange, com

Foreign Influence--The American
Party.

EOIcASn AuuuemcessIne American
Party.
There is truth and wisdom timely
presented in the following extract from
clear and strong editorial in the Lex
ington Ky.) Observer, 18th ult:
Let the Know Nothings be crushed
to the earth; let the party be disintegra-
ted ifyou please:let power fall where
ever you choose; the demands of the
American party must be obeyed. The
people of this country are loyal, and
they will ask their rulers to pass laws
for them, but if they fail to do SO, they
will pass them for themselves.
1t is in vain for us to endeavor to
change the nature of man. All nations,
from all time, have distrusted foreign
ers, and whenever the foreign popula-
ton crowds upon the native there must
be strife and ultimate subjugation. Up
to a certain point brave and a gener-
ons people will receive outcast foreign
ers - their midst; they will adopt GER
tain number of children, but there is a
stopping point, and when there is an
endeavor made to pass it, there must
and will be strife. We therefore, say,
no matter what party obtains the con-
troll of the government, that the wishes
of the people, vague and indefinite
though they may be, must be speedily
l-obeyed. immigration must be restrict
ted, and those who think that the agi.
tations of the country will cease when
the American party is crushed, are. blind
| indeed.
The old American party was ground
into the dust, but the men who compo-
sed it still lived, and they fought in the
ranks of other sparties, they retained
their old sentiments, and only awaited
an opportunity to assert them. In the
same manner, if the new American par
ty is overthrown the men that compose
it will still live, and the strife must &C
on, and at last their object be Effected
We regard the final achievement Of the
aims of the American party as some.

She came and brought delicious May!
The swallows built beneath the caves;
Like sunbeams in and out of leaves,
The robins went the live long day;
The lily swung its noiseless bell:
And o'er the porch the trembling vine
Seemed bursting with its veins of winei
o, earth was full of pleasant smell,
When came the dainty baby Bell
Into this world of oursl
O babie, dainty babie Bell,
How fair she grew from day to day;
What woman nature filed her eyes,
What poetry within them lay.
Those deep and tender twilight eyes,
So full of meaning, pure and bright,
AS if she yet stood in the light
OF those oped gates of Paradise!
And we loved baby more and more:
O never in our hearts before
| Such holy love was borns
We felt we had link between
This real world and that unseen
! The land Of deathless morn!
And for the love Of those dear eyes,
| For love of her whom God led forth
The mothers being ceased on earth
When babie came from Paradise!
For love of him who silnote our lives.
! And woke tho chord, of Joy and pa;a.
We said, Sweet Christ-our hearts bent dewr
Like violets after rain!
And now the orchards which were once
i All white and rosy in their bloom
Filling the crystal heart of air
With gentle pulses of perfume
| Were thick with yellow, juicy fruit;
The plums were globes of honey rare,
/ The soft-cheeked peaches blushed and fell,
The grapes were purpling in the grange
i Add time wrought just as rich change
In little Babe Belt
Her petit formmere perfect grew,
And in hef features we could trace,
In softened curves her mothers face;
Her angel nature ripened too.
We thought her lovely when she came,
Brt she was holy sanity now
i Around her pale and lofty brow
i We thought we saw ring. of flame!
Sometimes she said !. few strange words
Whose meaning lay beyond our reach
Gods hand had "a en- away the seal
Which held the portals of her speochl
She never was a child to us;
We never held her bieng' sky!
!, We could not teach her holy things,
/ She was Christ's itselfin purity.
It came upon US by degrees,
i We saw its shadow ere it fell,
| The knowledge that our God hath sent
His messenger for Babe Bell
We shuddered with unlanguaged pain,
i And all our thoughts ran into tears!
Z And Ill our hopes are changed to fears
i The sunshine into dismal rain.

TENNEssEE.-We are gratifed to see from the
Tennessee papers, that in the congressional districts
lately represented by Messrs. Stanton and Bugg
two of the most reliable and talented democrats in
the State are put in nomination. Mr. Stanton
having declined denomination, the democrats
have selected David d. Currin, esq, gentleman
of superior abilities as lawyer and a politician
He has taken conspicuous part in the late con-
test in Tennessee, and has made high reputation
as an eloquent and effective debater. In the dis
trict represented in the last Congress by Mr.. Bugg
we have the pleasure Of congratulatng the demo-
Gratis upon the nomination of John v. Wright esq.
He is young man, full of energy, an ardent dem
ocrat, an eloquent speaker, and earnestly devoted
to sound national principles. We cannot doubt his
triumphant election. If the democrats ara as for
tunate in all their nominations as in those of Messrs
Currin and Wright, they will achieve spIen-

Aessrs. Editors: After locking over long list
of our democratic friends, think can, with the
greatest propriety and assurance suggest the name
CT our friend F. F. MONTGOMERY, Esq, OF Smith
county, as being young man eminently qualified
to represent Smith, Sumner and Macon in the next
hotoral election. Mr.. MONTGOMERY is young
man of fine talents, well posted upon the leading
questions of the day, and an able debator, and the
very man upon whom the democracy will unite
I think his prospects hattering and hope ne will
respond to the call as be is one Of those who has
not sacrificed his liberties upon the altar OF know
nothingism. Very respectfully yours, &C.

OF Female Schools, taken from an English paper, is
not wholly inapplicable in some other countries:
Expensive, mindless, impractical and useless

minds are, like Chinese feet, cramped out of all
symmet Try power and natural use. A little music
which is merely manual dexterity; little drawing
which is only distorted imitation of distorted copies
for neither art is ever taught in the breadth and
significance belonging to it, little history, which
is but parrots roll-call; some geography, which
means dotted outline on q sheet of paper but
which includes neither the natural history, nor the
ethnology, nor yet the industry of foreign coun-
tries needle work, which leads to everything but
usefulness, modern languages, which when "6nish-

aud are equally unserviceable for reading and for
conversation-these, as all the world knows, make
up the list of English schoolgirls accomplishments
