Col. FrcInOnl's Career.

The Pennsylvania makes the fnlowin!
remarks, on the career of the Republican
candidate tor the Presidency:
"For the sake OF Mr. Fremoni's ow n fame
he should ncver have placed himself IN 1
position which will never render it ne ecessary
that the true history OF his life should be mad,
public, the veil of tinsel with which he
has been bedecked be rudey snatched aside
and tho facts connected with his career
exposed. His friends will be very apt tu
maintain close silence upon his feats as
an explorer, when the history of his blum
ders and heurtlessness becomes known
They will not boast much Of his famous
Coochatope Pass, which eventually proved
TO be the highest peak but one of the Rocky
Mountains, nor of his favorite route for the
Pacific Railroad which, on examination,
proved so crooked that it received the sobri-
quet of the Rams Horn Route-nor OF the
Schools oi Engineering which he establish
ed viz: that the movements OF the Buffaloes
were the best guide to the explorer-nor
will they be apt to particularly laud the in
famous desertion of his corps in the midst
Of the perils in which he had inveigled them,
IDhut up in snow thirty feet deep, which &C.
Cured near Toas, in New Mexico.
"Perhaps, no mon Of his age has more
unfortunate record than Col. Fremont
He was court martialled and dismissed from
the army for nsubordination-his financial
transactions with the government funds will
probably be found to be not at oil times of
the most creditable charac,er-he failed as
a politician; and. after serving a short term
in the Senate, was superseded as soon as he
became fairly known by the people of Cali.
fornia; and although he may be very fast.
very romantic, and very enterprsing young
man, he will find that no "buffalo engineer.
ing" willtake him within hFiling distance
Of the White House--that obstacle high and
insurmountable as his famous pass, will rise
before him-and that his political "rarns.
horn route" will lead him into dificulte az
those by which he was surrounded when he
ignominiously deserted his companions in
the snow at Toas."

IT WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.


wedo not for moment, says the New York Atia,
hesitate to place the following eusOn from the pen
William Cullen Bryant, in juxtapostlon with any sim
liar effort in the English language The last stan1
connOt be surpassedin the whole range Of English pc
stry:
To him who In the love of nature holds
Communion with her visible iorms she speaks
A various language; for his gaysr hours
She has q voice Of gladness, and u smile
And e!oquence NJ beauty, and she giidss
Into his darker musings, with q Iuild
And gentle sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness ere he Ii aware.
When thoughts
or the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sud images
or the stern agony; and shroud, and pail,
And breathless dSrkDess, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shuddcr, and grow sick at heart,
TO forth, under the open sky, and list
To Natures teachings, while from all around,
larth and her waters, and the depths of air,
Comes still voice; yet few days, and thee
The all beholdng shall see no more
In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,
Where thy pale form laid with many tears,
.Tor in the embrace Of ocean, shall exist
Thy image.
Earth that rourished thee shall claim
Thy growth, TO be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surreHderlng up
Thine individual being, shall thou go
To mix forever with the elements,
To be a brother TO the insensate rock
And to the sluggish elod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon.
The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould
Vet hot to thy eternal resting place
Shalt thou retire alone; nor cOuld'st thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
With patriarchs OF the infant world, with kings,
The powerful Of The earth the wise, the good,
Fair forms, and hoary Seers Of ages past,
All la one mighty SepulchTe.
The hills,
Rocked-ribbed and ancient as the sun; the wales,
Stretching In pensive quietness between;
The venerable woods; rivers that move
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
Thatmak the meadows green; and poured round all
Old oceans gray and melancholy waste;
Are but the solemn decorations all
OF tie great tomb Of man.
-
As the long train
OF ages glide away, the sons OF men
The youth in lfe's green spring, sand he who goes
In the full strength Of years. matron and Iaaid,
And the sweet babe, and the grayheaded man,
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side
BY those, who in their turn shall follow them.
No live. that when thy summons comes to Join
The iunumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber IN the silent halls Of death,
Thou go not, like tho quarry slave at night,
scourged to his dungeon but, sustained and soothed
BY an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
