THE WORN OUT FONT OF TYPE.

I'm sitting by my desk, George;
Before me- on the floor
There lies worn out font ofiype,
Full twenty thousand score.
And many months have passed, George,
Since they were bright and new,
And many are The tales they've told
The false, the strange, the true
Their beauty has all gone, George,
You scarcely now may trace
Upon the snowy medium
The likeness of their face;
They mind me of a man George.
Whose morn of life was full
OF promise, but al evenings close
Was desolale aud dull.
What tales of horror they have told
OF tempest and of wreck,
OF murder in the midnight hour,
Ofwar full many speck,"
OF ships that-lost away at sea-
Went down before the blast,
OF stihed cries Of agony
As liie's last moments passed
Ofearthquakes and Of suicides,
OF failing crops Of cotton,
OF bank defaulters, broken banks
And banking systems rotten,
OF boilers bursting, steamboats, snagged,
OF riots, duels fought,
OF robbers with their prey escape,
OF thieves with booty caught.
OF food, and FIRE, and accident,
Those worn out type have told
And how the pestilence has swept
The youthful and the old;
or marriages, Of births and deaths,
Ofthings to please or vex US;
OF mans jumping overheard,
Another gone to Texas.
They've told how long sweet summer days
Have faded from our view;
How Gutumn's chilling winds have swent
The leafcrowncd forest through;
How winters reign hath come and gone
Dark reign ofstorm and strife
And how the smiling spring hath warmed
The pale flowers back 10 life.
! can't pretend TO mention half
My lnkey friends have told,
Since shining bright and beautiful
They issued from the mould
How unto some they JOY have brought.
To other. grief and tears,
Yet faithfully they record kept
OFT receding wears

ANOTHER REVOLUTION. The Cayuga Indians,
in Western New York, have revolted, deposed
their chiefs, and set up new rulers. The revolu-
tionists have issued their manifesto, from which
i appears they been victimised by their chiefs
Initiating their more civilized neghbors, the
Cayuga ofhce-holders have kept up watchful
eye upon the spoils, and instead Of administering
the affairs Of the tribe honestly, ii is alleged,
have awaited themselves Of their official positions
to unscrupulously plumber the people Of the an
nuity received from the State by virtue of certain
treaty stipulations,

H. In an editorial article in late number
Of the Sentinel, we stated that we knew Of but
one Abolitionist in Virginia In naming this in
dividual, we made a mistake in the Christian
name, and this mistake is calculated TO iniure
a gentleman who bears the name which we mad
vertently wrote, we feel it to be our duty to
make the ProPer-e correction. The name should
have bcSs~written "Tom" Pitts. This is the
person, II we mistake not, who was one Of the
electors on the Van Buren, ticket in l84s.

THE HONORABLE-ALFR OSBORNE
PERKINS NICHOLSON, EDITOR AND
PROPRIETOR OF THE .swAsHING-
TON UNION,D

TON UNION
We have the best authority for ascribing praises
to this distinguished gentleman
We do SO in terms of grateful plaudts, because
he has not only shown hinlselfto be, but has rep
resented himself through his own public vehicle
as the great Giant OF Democracy, and the imper-
sonation of the principles and platform Of our
party.
He was right TO go TO Tennessee albeit his pa
per should be without an editor; for what mat
ter, when the spirit-world gives him full ac-
acknowledgement Of his splendid services
We had occasion, few weeks ago, 10 refer to
peter" but we had no idea that the recognition
of that claim to the commentator of the Demo
cratic party, would have so emboldened and in
spirited the great impersonation Of the views Of
the Administration. "Tickle me here, and will
scratch you there, " is homely illustrations but
quite true in the present case The incog. junior
is the lively and Justly grateful author Of the
article in the Washington Union Of Sunday last.
The sole editor and proprietor, not a great time
back, did the same eompiaisant service to him,
and gratitude is noble quality and nobly has
he redeemed il We give the comments Of the
distinguished gentleman from Tennessee upon his
orn resolutions, and are too anxious that they
shall be appreciated by the Democracy Of the
country in like estimate that he places upon
them himself He deserves well Of his country
for Jefferson and Madison have failed to pro-
duce the patriotic impress has resolutions will
doubtless galvanize in the whole country withal
Still, what strange things we see; What dire
necessity must surround the exodus Of the present
Administration, when the "sole" editor and pro-
prietor of the Washington Union is required TO
sound his own praise in the fulsome terms that
we find in the Union of Sunday last
The Hon. Alfred Osborne Perkins Tor Pope,
VIC do not remember which, Nicholson, sole
editor and proprietor" of the Washington Union,
can scarcely find words large enough to express
the admiration which the Democracy should en-
terrain for the very able, lucid, and patriotic
resolutions "offered and prepared by the Hon
Alfred Osborne Perkins Nicholson They are
truly good resolutions--we subscribe TO them
most cheerfully; and we think the tenth resolu-
ton, setting forth the "unexampled prosperity
and happiness which distinguishes every portion
OF our country furnishes the best evidence of the
wisdom and fidelity with which President Pierce
has administered the internal affairs Of the gov
eminent, exhibits, in addition TO the patriotic
sentiment IT conveys, the most laudable and
grateful homage 10 the source Of all his good
Washington sentinel. [volume] (City of Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1856, 1855-09-06

Between THIS platform and that lately pro-
mulged by the National Democrats, there is no
sort Of comparison to be made. On the slavery
question the resolutions of the National Demo
Gratis or /" Hards" are acceptable TO all sound
men. They contain no declarations Of /" hos
tilty to slavery" no invcctives against the bor-
der rufiians" Of Missouri, and no protest against
the extension Of slavery, as do those Of the
former
Here, too, il contrasts very strikingly with the
know-nothng platform, lately issued by the New
York convention, which spoke most disapprov-
ngly Of /" the repeal of the Missouri compro-
mise of the "aggressons upon the government
Of Kansas" Nor does it declare, like this same
know-nothing platform, that " the institution Of
slavery should derive no extension from such re-
peal"- Of the Missouri compromise.
The platform Of tho National Democrats is a
sound, constitutional State-rights platform. A
practical adherence TO the principles embodied in
il will at once place them high in favor with all
the sound Democrats of the country
How the Sots with such creed as they have
promulged, can expect TO challenge tho approba.
