Democratic Iaudation Of Millard Fillmore.


Looking over the political records OF the
past six years, we find that Millafa Flllmore
has received his highest encomums from lne
Democratic party and the Democratic press
Asa noted instance we quote passage from
the Democratic Review for December, 1855, in
which Mr.. Fillmore receives higher need OF
praise than has ever been accorded by any
Journal which now advocates his election
Speaking of the condition of things at the
period when Mr.. F. was called in the Execu-
tive chair, the Review eloquenty remarks:
"Momentus events were transpiring. The
agitation Of the question of slavery was para
mount in the public mind. In this crisis, it
was well that so reliable man as Mr.. Fill
more was found in the Presidential chair. The
safety and perpetuity of the Union were
threatened. Already had fanaticism raised its
HYDRA head. Schemes and "isms'' leaped
from thousand ambuscades. The enemies of
the Union started forth on every side-Aboli-
tionism here-Secession there-Acquisition
and Fillibusserisrn elsewhere. These were the
formidable elements of misrule with which the
Executive had to cope. How we'll he met, and
how entirely he, for the time. overcame those
enemies ofthe peace of the Republic, we leave
tosthe historian to relate; but our retrospect
would be in complete and disingenuous, did it
not accord the need of praise justly due to
high moral excellence, and intellectual admin
istratorial honesty and talent; as developed in
the Administration of Mr. Fillmore"

By SCHILLER,

OF some better and fairerday
And our days, the meanwhile, to that golden goal
Arc gliding and sliding away.
Now the world becomes old now again it is young
But Tho Better's forever the word on the tongue
At the threshold of life Hope leads us in
Hope plays around the mirthful boy;
Though tho best of its charms may withyouth be-
gin,
Yet for age it reserves its toy.
When wo sink OF the grave, why, the grave has
scope,
And over the coffin man planteth-HoPE!
And It is not dream Of fancy proud,
With fool for its dull begctter
There's voice at the heart that prOclaims aloud
1--WE are born for somet1iag 6etterI"
And that voice of the heart, oh, ye may believe,
Will never the hope of the soul deceive II

And as fast as dreamed it was eoinedinto num-

II appeared that law had lately been made
That tax on On old bachelors pates should bC
laid
And In order TO make them willing to marry,
Tho tax was as heavy as man could well carry
But the bachelors grumbled and said twas nc

Twas monstrous injustice and horrid abuse,
And swore that to save their own hearts blood
from spilling
On such vile tax they would neer pay shilling
But their rulers determined their seal to pursue,
So they set all the bachelors up at vendue'
A crier was sent through the town to and fro,
To rattle his drum and his trumpet to blow,
And TO cry out TO all that he met in his way
"Ho forty old bachelors sold here to-day"
And presently, all the old maids in the town,
Each in her very best bonnet and gown,
From thirty to sixty, white, rcd, fair, and pale,
OF every description, all hockcd to the SALE
Tho auctioneer then with his labors began,
And cried out aloud as he held up a man,
allow much for bachelor who wants to buy
And the chorus of old maidens responded, 81, II
And in short, at very extravagant. price,
The bachelors all were sold off in trice,
And forty glad maidens-somO younger SOM
older,
Each lugged an old bachelor home on her shoul

ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIEs.--Never b
afraid Of blushing. Accept no present o
value from men. Avoid lightness of car
riage. Be m Oldest and moderate in dress
Be not often seen in public. Affect ne
languishing. Don't talk loud. Never dea
in scandal. Receive salute modestly.-
Be afIable with men, but not familiar. Sym
pathise with the unfortunate, Be not al.
ways Laughing and talking. Be Giscreet.--
Suppose not all men 10 be in love with you
that show you civilities. Let no love begin
on your part. Speak out your mind on all
occasions. Seem not to hear improper con-
versation.
