THE GRAVE YARD.-It will be observed by
a notice in another column that number of
citizens have made move towards getting
ctr grave yard into some sort of decent con-
dtion. The present appearance of that neg
lected spot, is really disgrace to our town,
snd it is, indeed, high time that something was
done to make it look ssrespectable." The
grave yard is, and ever should be deemed
holy place, consecrated by the solemn sacred
ness of the heart,-the same deep religion of
soul which Nature has implanted in the breast
teaching him to preserve and honor the bones
Of his fathers. There is nothing, which, to the
stranger, can bear more favorable testimony
to the character and hospitality of the citizens
of village, than to behold, on his entrance,
the neat white raling rising up beneath the
groves in some green. sequestered spot, whose
object none can mistake. 1t tells him at once
that such a people are not entirely destitute of
the finer feelings and sentiments Of the heart;
and that man is indeed to be pitied, who can.
not appreciate such touching and beautiful
expression of the soul.
The lovely site of our grave yard, and the
amplitude of space, render it capable of being
made one of the most beautiful cemeteries in
our land. Not long since, we were returning
from a visit abroad, and near sunse; we paused
in the road on the hill opposite town, 10 gaze,
with thrill of delight upon the beauty of the
landscape. In the distance rolled our beauti-
full river, while our lovely village slept quiet
ly at our feet; and as the broad, deep shadows
of the summer evening streamed lengthening
thro' the tall pines wide over the landscape, it
seemed TO US we had never gazed upon a more
beautiful scene. We turned our eyes to the
left, and they rested upon the cold, barren,
neglected spot, appropriated as last resting
place of the departed, in sad keeping with the
brilliant prospect gilded by the summer sun
set. We passed on, fondly hoping that the
time was not far distant when our burial
ground would be no SePotter's Field" but
sweet household sepulehre, where the turf
would be often dewed by the tear drop of
sympathy, and the wild grass wave ever green
and free,

"TINE TO WoRK."-Our American friends
should remember the lesson taught by the
suit of the recent election, and 60 earnestly
to work, in every township and council, to
strengthen our organization. This is, most
emphatically, the time 10 ,rorh, and if proper
sxertions are made, there can be no doubt of
our success. The officers Of every Council
should call regular stated meetings, and COM
pei general attendance. Keep up the Orga-
nization, and let not the interest which is still
felt in its prosperity, flag for moment. Re-
member We are laboring in a glorious cause-a
cause that must and will be triumphant. We
are working for the protection Of our Amer
icsn Nationality, for the permanancy of our
institutions, for the welfare of ourselves, our
children, and posterity,-fo- the perpe-
tuity of our glorious Union, and for the spot
less purity Of our starry flag! In such cause
he who would falter, must be alike traitor to
himself to his country, and his God Press
On ihen-labor diligently in the glorious work
follow the example of our illustrious WASH
ISGros, and success will inevitably crown
your efforts.

Mr.. CLEMENS AND THE ADMINISTRATORS.

Mr.. CLEMENS AND THE ADMISIsTRAIfoS.-
The Washington Union recently made au
attack upon Col. Jeremiah Clemens of ALI
bama, formerly "Union Democrat and
now an '-American.H Mr. Clemens replied
sharply 10 the attack. We annex an extract:
1nependence of thought or action is some
thing which the editor of the Union never uu-
derstood, any more than he understood mo-
rality and honor when he sought. through lii
agent, TO induce drunken man 10 utter the
foulest calumnies upon the reputation of IA
woman. Bnt he does understand the way 10
executive favor, and he knows well enough
that If | had wanted office, | had only TO stoot
TO the mcanness. which is part Of his nature
to obtain it. | had only 10 swear that Wash
inston never approached Pierce in Admins
tration ability; that Jackson had never bScn
half SO '.open, frank and manly, in his detI-
ings with his countTymcn; thit sguatter sou
ereignty was q direct visitation from heaven
that the burning of Greytown WAS an achieve
ment worthy OF Napoleon; that the shameless
backing out from all the Administration Gu
ban clustering was the perfection of foresight
and courage; that its doube-dealing with Sou
lie and Quitman canlor and honor that
the appointment of Dix and Cochrane tho
essence of Soutiiorn rights and the wisdom of
the selection OF Belmont was vndicated by the
fact that old clothes had fallen fully twenty
per cent. These and few like things would
doubtless have won for me the sunniest smiles
OF the executive, ana ) iNtI m from the charge
of having ''repudiated principles" ..seyered
tics,' and '.forsaken associations - words
which it is easy to use, but somewhat difticnlt
TO prove. have rcpudiatcd no principles
Ny opinion of foreigners WAS openly aynwed
before the American party had an existence
] denounced squatter sovereignty in the Sen
ate, and have never been able 10 discover any
beauty in it since the President took It to Ills
tosom. I opposed extravagant expenditures
OF the public money, and my faith in the cor
rectness of the principle has not been shakeH
by the fact that the present Administration
has run them up TO more than eighty mi lions
of dollars. Asto s'scvering ties know of
none that bound me to pronounce that evil was
good, and. as / never had any associations
with the editor Of the Union, could not have
forsaken them.
When General Pierce makes amends for his
appointment of Reeder as Governor of Kansas,
and takes into his councils better men than
Forney and Wallach, l may again be found
supporting him, though not with the same
blind confidence ~ in 1852.

ports have failed to meet by 26,O00,o0O, in

UNITED STATES SENATOR From present in
dications, We should not be surprised if the
Locofocos in the next Legislature would ex-
perience as much difficulty in determining
who shall wear the Senatorial laurels, as the
Americans did last winter. The host of can
didates pressing their claims, will enable Gen.
CAMERON, who is quietly at work, to give
them no little trouble. Already we have the
following list of candidates presented, any and
either OF whom, it is reasonable TO presume,
will leave no effort untried to secure the office
Chas. r. Buckalew, Ex-Gov. Bigler, Jno. Rob-
bins, jr., Henry D. Foster, Wilson McCaniless,
John L. Dawson, David r. Porter, John w.
Forney, Jeremiah S. Black, Chas. Shaler,
William wilkins, Christian NJ. Straub, Hon.
Henry Chapman, and others, ''too numerous
TO mention"
AS one of our cotemporaries has observed,
we have seen the political horizon look much
darker for Gen. CAMERON, than it does at pre-
sent, and We have seen his star in the ascend
ant after the clouds were dispelled. We
should not be much surprised if he would be
the next United States Senator.

THr DEArn OF coNnopoRE DANIrrs. wbic

The DEATH COMMODORE DANIELS, which
occurred in Baltimore on the Both ult. is thus
spoken of by the Baltimore Republican:
1--WE are called upon to-day to record the
death of one of our old and valued citizens,
Commodore John ID. Daniels. In his youth.
full days, prompted by that love of liberty
which characterized him all through life, Com
modore Daniels volunteered his services in
the struggle between the South American
colonies and Spain. The skill and bravery of.
young Daniels soon attracted the notice of
Bolivar the deiverer of Columbia, and through
his influence the command of the Bolivian ma
w was given to him. The trust was properly
confded, and the brilliant services OF Commo-
dore Daniels greatly assisted in securing the
freedom of the Bolivian republic.
After the struggle was over, and the inde-
pendcnce of the republic was fully established,
Com Daniels returned to his home in our city
where he has resided since, with the exception
of visit to the scene of his early triumphs
few wears since. Upon the occasion of his
visit Com. Daniels was received by the author
tiles and people, as Lafayette was upon hi.
memorable visit to this country. The govern
ment of Venezuela showered honors upon him
and voted him handsome pension thro' life.
Com. Daniels was in his seyenty-fourth year,
and up to very brief period has been an ac-
tive interested participant in all the interests
of the country. He died yesterday at about
two O'Clock, serenely and peacefully, and left
behind him character worthy OF emulation,

territory, which in few years will yield full

territory has arrived at Salt Lake city and en-
tered upon the duties of his office. He has
two parties of surveyors at work. The letter
from which we take these statements is signed

to Boston. At an average Of s. so per bushcl
the gentleman in question paid out nearly a
million OF dollars. all of which has passed in,

AGGRESSIVE PoLICY OF THE SoUTH.-The n.
Y. Courier & Enquirer has an excellent article
showing that the arbitrary and aggressive poll
cy pursued by the South in the political affairs
of the country. has resulted largely to its own
disadvantage. The attempt TO invade the right
of petition started an abolition pa-ty which is
becoming powerful. The expulsion from the
House of Representatives of Giddings has
been the cause of his return at every cleo
tion since. The admission of Texas and the war
with Mexico, undertaken for the extension of
slavery, have resulted in the creation of one
free .State-California-wit the prospect of
others. And the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise is stimulating the n orth to make free
States of Kansas and Nebraska, much sooner
than they would have been had not the excite
ment caused by that act been aroused.
