Morpheus rel gas, and there a stately
Structure saw " hose foundations
Had been sapprd and on the crumb!iny

DAYS il might have been edlfice
Destined to stand by time unhu..
] entered in. and found It's
Occupants, who, formerly in peace
Did dwell now, in constant
Qnarrels aud feuds engaged.
From information then received
learned preparations were being made
To celebrate bridal hour. The
Ceremonial platform, by slaves
Supported was; by slaves too,
Whose destiny Of seryitude, this
Marriage was TO forever seal.
Near the western wall Of this hall,
Deal men bones in heaps
Were laid; for wrongs deep, and
Deeds dark, had there been
Done. The preparations finished, ths
Bridegroom entered; he claimed
To be "a child of Jefferson, who, in
Former times Ger the land of Freeman
Did preside his name though III
Applied was Democracy Ihoush ne
OF iNas,tious ancestry and lofty
Name did boast, yet now he stood
A seller of right; of principle merchandise,
And with him stood a motley
Crew whose Bacchanalian howl
More the voice of He'll, than Earth
Resembled.
And near him stood some who,
Ia former times his friends
Had been aud who now. in solemn
Tones did plead, him to dissuade,
From wedding one who to them
So vile appearel-but in vain their pleadings
Were, he ready stood his bride to
Receive.
She entered, and with her came
A Priest of Rome, on his head
A mitrc, and in his hand
Gross
But the bride who was she?
Slavery was her name, the eldest
Daughter of the Devil, and who
Now on uymens altar swore,
That freemen her soil should serve
The bride arose, and with her, her
Twin sister Polygamy who much
Desired with her sister to sojourn;
Side by side they stood, so vile,
That Hell Of them would have been
Ashamed yet vile as they were,
Democracy arose, and on them smiled
The ceremony now commenced.
Firstly, they swore fealty to the
Papal cause; secondly, they promised
Their twin sister to shield, nourish
And protect; and lastly the bridegroom
Swore tie will OF his
Father in-law TO do; after which.
The Priest did say, thou Democracy
And Slavery art nov one,
And what have joined together,
Let not freemen put asSunder.
The Goddess of Liberty, who. present was.
Wept, bid her friends adieu, and
Disappeared. All freemen wcpt, because
Their children slaves might be;
And every slave did weep; for they
Plainly saw their dooms were sealed;
But Satan grimly laughed,
To think his relationship extended was,
And his cause advanced, aud the
Imps of Hell did laugh, laughed
To think that ecr long, many more
Their fate would share.

Destructive FIRE in Fulton County, Illinois.
10000 WORTH OF PRODUCE DESTROYED.
The Canton Register Of the 21st, published
in Fulton county, illinois, says: Just as we
were going to press we learned that two ware
houses and dwelling house at Copperas creek,
were consumed by fire on Tuesday afternoon.
One of the warehouses belonging to Messrs.
Smith, in which the fire originated, was liter
ally crammcd with grain, pork, whisky, &c,
belonging to merchants and farmers Of this
place and vicinity. Two other warehouses
were only saved by the greatest exertions.-
We believe there was no insurance on any Of
the property" The Register says the loss is
estimated at one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.

The Platform.

The N. Y. Express, which opposed the
adoption Of a platform by the National Council
or Convention, thus allades to the platform
adopted
The new Platform-the more it is consider
ed-the better it takes, all around. America
now is something, and Africa, not everything,
The famous 18th Section is out and better
Section is in. The platform taken came from
the District of Columbia, neutral ground, the
yey best place for platform making -inasmuch
as it is representative not sectional Capt.

Rejoice, reioice-that ''Sam" has escaped
one set of rooks-but navigation is now to be
tried among another SET, in the Convention
IF Sam steers safe through all these Archi-
peligoes Of rocks. he is great navigator. Old
Palinurus will have to yield the palm to him
SIM dill steer we'll, and escaped the rocks
nicely, although few lubbers jumped over
board in their fright, and are probably lost.

The Battle Observation-Disclosures the Documents.
The Presidential battle has opened Our
banner is waving, the names of our leaders are
before the people, and we are in the fight
The American party has boldly placed itself in
the van of this Presidential battle, and there
IT'S colors will wave till the roar of the last gan
has died away, and the sword of strife is
sheathed. We enter into this battle with the
enthusiasm Of a just cause, and with the in
spiration of honored and gallant chieltains. We
adopt the language Of the Louisville Journal,
when we say to our friends, that the flag of
the Evansville Journal, like tho tall plume Of
Murat will ever glean in the thickest Of the
fight We shall be wherevera devoted patri-
OTIS duty is to be done. We shall meet the
enemy wherever his charge is fiercest and dead
lest. ALI that we ask of our friends is to sus-
tain us in our exertions; and, if in any crisis
of the battle they find us recreant, let them
trample US under foot and dash on to q victory
in which we shall have no share.
We now appeal our friends and to the
friends of Fillmore and the American cause, to
lend US their aid. five fsht the good fight
properly, and we certainly hope to do SO, and
will promise our friends that no industry nor
energy shall be lacking on our part-the
American party Of this District can in no bet
ter manner aid their cause, than by general
and widespread distribution Of the Journal,
throughout this region.
We shall fix the terms Of the Weekly Jour
nal so low, as to make it but small effort on
the part Of those interested, to send US scores
and hundreds OF new subscribers Let the
friends Of the cause but take this matter in
hand, and each devote few hours to the good
work, and the Journal will during the cam
paign weekly talk to hundreds who now never
hear its voice. We shall make the terms low
as possible, being willing to devote the greater
part Of the usual profits Of subscriptions to
the cause. There is not neighborhood in the
District, even where VIC have large clubs now,
in which by little effort, campaign clubs for
the Journal may not be made UP. We should
like to have in as many as possible Of these
clubs by the LIST of April, but will receive cam
paign subscriptions to the 1st of June.

Mr.. EDroR:-
hasten to avail myself Of the first opportu-

CARL concise account Of the conflict in which we
took part yesterday. At an early hour yester-
day morning, from intelligence received from
above as we'll as from various indications in our
immediate vicinity, we learned that the ice
which has kept us in a state of blockade for the
last two months, designed making an attack,
thro' the course ofthe day. We Immediately
put ourselves in readiness to give it as warm a
reception, asoar feeble means would admit of
We had scarcely completed our preparations
as the cakes were seen advancing from above

AS you may readily suppose, the anxiety on
board the "Kate," in regard to the result was
great, but feeling that our cause was Just, and
that we had been much injured, we deter
mined not to surrender an inch of ground to
the enemy. The first shock was terrible, but
lasted only for a few minutes and resulted in
the total discontinue of the enemy. The
Slaughter was great, our men in several in
stances springing upon the enemy with axes,
capstain bars, &c, and cutting and heaving
right and left till it was compelled to retire
in the greatest confusion. Our loss in killed,
wounded and mis- ing, is trifing, while that Of
the enemy must be very great. BY night, last
evening there was not a cake to be seen on the
field. We intend starting in pursuit this
morning Of the main army but hope not to
overtake it. The messenger by whom | send
this is in waiting. and must close. write in

a recent sitting ofthe faithful, remarked that
he had just received intelligence of the death
of a dear, devoted, and estimahe friend in Cali

Democracy backing the Know Nothings!

1t is we'll known to our readers, that the
Aiken for Speaker, and nearly elected him
To succeed, they united with the hated, the
detestcd, the denounced and abused "Know
Nothings"-and to get the Know No hing
support, even in part, Mr.. Aiken pledged him
selfand in writing, to a certain effect When
it was charged in the House, that correspon-
dence had taken place between Aiken and the
Americans, Mr.. Aiken rose and said he was
not a candidate for Speaker. Mr.. Humphrey
Marshall declared he had no correspondence
with Mr.. Aiken. BUTT appears Mr.. A. K.
Marshall had obtained the proper pledges from
Aiken. We clip the following from the Balti-
more American Democrat 1t states that
On the morning when the plurality rule was
adopted by the House, and when Mr.. Aiken's
chances for the Speakership were canvassed,
Mr.. A. K. Marshall, of Kentucky, a stanch
American conservative, being reluctant to vote
Mr.. Aiken without understanding his ground for
fully, wrote down, and carried to him in his
seat, a series of interrogatoriss, which, with
their anwers, we here subjoin:
''1st. Are you hostile to the American par
ty? and have you ever pronounced, or do you
now believe, that party enemies to civil and
religious liberty? ae
"Answer to 1st-To the first answer, I
neUer hare.
"2d. Are you in favor of the Union Of the
States so long as it can be continued without
such violation OF the spirit of the Constitution
as would justify revolution?
answer 2d--I am in favor Of the coritinu-
ance of this Union as long as the rights OF all
the States are preserved.
I'D. Do you belong to the Democratic or
ganization? and do you fully indorse the course
aud policy Of the present Administration, so far
as to favor the election Of the present incum-
bent to office again?
ANSWER Sd do not, strictly speaking
belong to the Democratic party organization.
] approve whae Ibelieve right and will oppose
what think wrong, in that as in all other
parties.
9TH Would you object to such a modifca-
ton Of the naturalization laws as would re-
quire citizens Of other countries to remain here
before they become citizens of this country for
a decidedly longer term than at present?
''Answer 4th--I would not object, but would
favor material extension of the naturalization
laws"
Thus it appears that the last Democratic
candidate for Speaker, and who came within
three votes ofelection, declares that he would
favor material extension Of the naturalization
laws. To what small point does all this
bring the abuse and denuneiation Of the Dem
ocrats against the American party. Here are
the Representatives in Congress of the Demo
cratic party, uniting with the Americans to
elect man who had pledged himself to one Of
the cardinal principles of the American party,
who would not declare himself hostile to that
party, and who says he does not, strictly
speaking, belong to the Democratic partly
