NEVER.
BY n. w. CUTTER.


may be asked, as l have been asked, when
Or the dissolution of the Union l answer, new,
ever, never.-HENRY CLAY.
You ask me when I'D rend the scroll
Our fathers names are written o'er,
When would Nee our flag unroll
Its mingling stars and stripes no more,
When with worse than felon hand
Or felon counsels, would sever,
The Union Of this glorious land
answer-never, never, never, neverl
Think ye that could brook to see
The banner l have loved so long,
Borne piece-meal o'er the distant sea-
Torn, trLmpled by irenzied throng-
Divided, measured, pareelled out
Tamely surrendered up forever
To crafty a soullesS route,
OF traitorsP never, never, neveri
Give up this land TO lawless might,
To selfish fraud and william sway,
Obscure those hopes with endless night
That now are rising like the day
Write one more page of burning shame
To prove the useless, vain endeavor
our race from ruin TO reclaim,
And close the volume? never, neveri
On yonder lone and lovely steep,
The sculptor's art, tile builders power,
A landmark o'er the soldiers sleep,
HaVe4eared lofty funeral tower
There it will stand until the river
That rolls beneath shall cease to flow,
Aye, till that hill itself shall quiver
With natures last convuisive throe!
Upon that columns marble base;
That shaft that scars into the sky;
There still is room enough to trace
The countless millions yet to die
And would cover all its height
And breadth, before the hour Of shame,
IT'LL space should fail whereon to write
Even the initials of Names
Dissolve the Union! mar, remove
The last asylum that is known,
Where patriots find brothers love
And truth may shelter from throne
Give up the hopes of high renown,
The legacy our fathers WILD,
Tear our victorious eagles down
Before their mission iS'fulfIled.
Dissolve the Union! while the earth
Has yet tyrant to be slain,
Destroy our freedom in its birth,
And give the world to bonds again
Dissolve the Union--God of Heaven!
We know too well how much it cost,
million bosoIns shall be riven
Before one golden link is lost.
Nay, spread cloft our banner folds
High as the Heavens they resemble,
That every race this planet holds
Beneath their shadow may assemble,
And with the rainbow's dazzling pride,
Or rclonds that burn along the skies,
lnscribe upon its margin wide
HOPE, FREEpoM, UNION, COMPROMISE.
*Mr. Clay's very words as he pointed to the mt
ment that stands upon the height near frankie
bove the slain of Buena Vista, including the
lains of his own son.

The Eastern Mail.

A letter from W. J. Brown, special agent
of the Post Office Department, dated at lndl-
annapolis on the Goth, and addressed to the
Postmaster of this city, states that the Terre
Haute and Indianapolis Railroad Company
have refused to carry the mail on their road
unless the Depar tment will pay them $3.50
per mile, or SIS, 800 per annum, being double
as much as is paid to any road in Indiana or
Illinois. The Post Office Department refuses
to pay this exorbitant demand, and the conse-
quence is, that the transportation of the great
Eastern mail, by this line, was yesterday DIS
continued Hereafter, the mail matter for
points east of Terre Haute, will have to be
sent via Chicago, involving delay OF more
than a day, and the mail for st. Louis viii
take the same route. We infer from what is
stated in the letter, that the Company have no
intention of receding from the demand, and
that the Post Master General thinks, II ne
were to allow this compensation, that all the
other roads in Illinois and Indiana would de-
mand it-thus increasing the expenditure OF
the Department at least half a million OF dol
lars. The sufferers in this case will be the
people of St. Louis and this section of the
coutry. who will be compelled to wait TWEEN
ty.four or thirty-six hours longer for theiE
correspondence. 1t is unfortunate that the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad is not complet'
ed to Cincinnati. for then we should have
communication with the East independent o.
the Terre Haute Road.--Mo. Hep. oth'

RAISING CALvEs-NEw METHOD.

While on a short visit to the farm of MIR.
Crowell, of this town. few days ago our at
tention was drawn to plan of raising calves
for early sale, which to US in this section
seems worthy of the consideration of stock
Mr.. Crowell took his calves Gall heifers) last
spring. and commenced feeding on sour milk
to few days old keeping them on the same
kind of food during the summer, taking good
care to feed them uniformly, but not very
abuAdantly so as to keep them growing thick
ly without forcing them too rapidly. In the
fall they we're put in the stables,and fed on
hay, and a little meal increasing the quantity
of the latter gradually, with view OF fitting
them for beef in the spring at one year old
or little under.
These ten calves looking like young oxen,
and are estimated to weigh about 800 pounds
each, alive. They will probably be sent to g
market soon, say next month, when we shall
Isee how such beat will sell, and it will be rel
ished by the lovers of good eating. For our
selves we should hardly find it i'll our hearts
to decline a dinner from one of the best o.
them. We understand from Mr.. T., who Is
making this trial by way of experiment, that
he is quite satisfied thus far with the present
attempt to raise beef one year, that he intends
to renew the excitement another year, wnen
he thinks some Improvement can be made.

WHOLE NO. 277
The Presidency--The Whiss.

Sufficient time has now elapsed to
enable US to determine, with entire
accuracy, how far our declaration in
favor of Buchanan for the Presiden-
ICY has been responded to by the
Wings of Missouri, and Illinois, aud
wherever we may claim an influence
from the extensive circulation Of our
journal. With the knowledge thus
derived, we are authorised to say,
that the result of this conference with
our old friends is far more satisfactory
than we had just reason to expect.
We did not address ourselves to dem
ocrats; they, Of course, would be
gratifed to learn that, in a pressing
emergency, and not for any particular
love we bore them on account of the
past, we had thought proper to an
nounce ourselves in favor of Mr..
Buchanan. But We we're solicitous.
we confess, about the manner in which
old Whigs-men with whom we had
stood shoulder to shoulder for more
than a quarter of century would
receive that declaration. All we shall
now say on this hand is, that we
are satisfied: if the response which
comes to US from all quarters be any
indication of the feelings of our time
honored friends, then we are sure
that we have done right, and have
no hesitation about persisting in our
course.-.&. Louis Republican.
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1856-08-14

The Know Nothings are barping
upon the fact that Martin Van BureD
has come out for Buchanan. We
are DO defender or apologists of Van
Buren. But the Know Nothings
surely forget what Andrew Jackson
Douelson said about Van Buren, in
1851! Here it is. 1t is their Vice
Presidential nominee that is speak
ing, not ourselves:
"If Mr. Van Buren, consented to
be called free soiler, an vhat respect
>vas he differing from Mr.. Fillmore,
rom Mr.. Webster or MIR. Winthrop?
The public have not forgotten the
letter of the first Of these gentlemen,
in which he ayowed has sanction OF
the principles uhich ercluded slaosry
from the Territories Of the United
States; nor the great merit Of The
other gentleman who claimed the
Wilmot proviso as his own measure;
nor Of the last, who so valiantly
clamored in the House for the glo'
ry Of a Winthrop proviso, founded OF
the same principles, and calculated
to strike so strong blow at the ef
forts of the Democratic members Il
allay the agitations growing out o
the whole subject Of slavery, by ad
herring to the platform on which MI
Van Buren stood in 1886, and whicl
was so eloquently vindicated by 81
las Wright, both before and after tn
nomination Of Mr.. Polk"
