The Peop e's Advent

Gerald Massey, whose every rord Is
pearl of great price, proPhesies thus beau''
fully the overthrow OF despotism:
'Tis coming up the steep OF time
And this old world growing brighter,
Wemay not see its dawn sublime,
Yet high hopes make the heart throo lighter
We may be sleeping in the ground
When il awskes the wo' Id to wonder,
Bet we have feItit gathering round.
And hear its voice Of living thunder:
'Tis coming! yes, It's coming!
,Tis coming now; the glorious time
Foretcld by seers and sung in story,
For which. when thinking was crime.
Souls Ieaped to heaven from scafiolds CORY!
They passd, nor saw the work they wrought,
Nor the crownd hopes Of centuries blossom
But the live lightning of their thought
And daring deeds doth pulse earthIs bosom.
'Tis coming! yes, It's coming.
Creeds, Empires, Systems rot with age,
But the great peoples ever youthiuli
And il shall write the Futures page
To our humanity more truthful!
The epariiest heart hath tender chords
To vaken at the name of Brother"
And time comes when brain-scorpion words
We shall not speak to sting each other,
IFS coming! yes. tbs coming!
I. Out of the light, ye priests, nor fling
Your dark cold shadows on US longer!
Aside thou world wide curse r.led King
The peoples step is quicker. s:"nser.
There's divinity within
That makes men great whene'er they Will IT.
God works With Il who dare TO win,
And the time comefh to reveal it,
'Tis coming! yes, It's coming!
Ave IL must come. The tyrani's throne
Is crumbling withour hot tea RS rustedi
The sword, earth's might have lent upon
Is canker'd with our hearts blood crusted.

Ye robber ru lers, pause no iongeri
Ye cannot stop the opening day;
The world rolls on, the light grows stronger

Wrongs we Suffer.

Listen all ye strong ones,
All We injured strong ones,
While our wrongs ] tell you
And our dangers show you,
How she women rule US,
Rule Us to our sorrow
Cla i'm neir rights with vengence,
But TO US they grant none.
Fist our coats and trowsers.
Then our hats and caps took
Now they seek to drive US
From the aisles and ravements,
Spreading out their skirts SO,
None can pass them safely;
Fashions changing, daiiy
Something new is thought OF.
Merchants hang their signs out,
Signs of invitation,
Made ofsteel and whalcbone
Crinoline and rattan,
Skeleton and whnle-skirts-
Tempting thus the silly,
Leading the unwary
in the path of folly.
Passing down the sidewalk.
Sidewalk straight and narrow,
Gentleman is Fastening
Meets a full dressed lady
Calamity aside steps,
Forced is from his mornings
Piunges then promi.cuous,
Mud six inches deep through.
Preachers sees with sorrow
Church pews thinly seated,
Wonders what the cause is.
Greatly fears he's done wrong
Showing sins too plainly,
Tinby chance he finds out
That two ladies, only,
Crowd each pew TO fulness.
Thus I've clearly showed how
Balloons, whose dimensions
Huge are and enormous,
Chick our fields OF vlsion,
Drive us from the ch rches,
Turn us from our pathway,
Shocks our moral senses
By their shapes unseemiy.
These thing cali for action,
Loudly call for action,
Action grave and serious

Should be put stop 10,
And q reformation

SEMINOLE EMIGRATION.

In August last the Government Of the
United States concluded treaty, which SUI
persedes all former treaties. with the Creek
and Seminole Indians residing west Of the
Mississippi river, wherein provision is made
for the peaceable withdrawal Of the seminoles
from the domination Of the Greeks; for the
settlement Of each tribe within plainly de-
fined territorial limits; and for the exertion
81 means Of advice and persuasion by all
the parties on the Seminoles vet ~ Florida
to induce their quiet emigration 70 the
country wes; If the Mississippi. During
the winter the relations Of the United States
and the Florida Indians have been unfriend-
~; but il is now again proposed BY the Gov
eminent, and belief in the practicability
Of the proposition is sincerely entertained,
10 cease all hostile pressure, and once more
approach them with the oliye-braneh in
hand. These efforts will be made under the
auspices Of the Department Of the Interior.
and the Secretary has accordingly authorized
the Superintendent Of the Southern Super
inteniency, Mr. Rector. and the Agent of
the Greeks. Mr.. Garnett, soon after the
stipulated money payments have been made.
TO organize delegation o. Greek and West
ern Seminoles. under the 10th article Of the
treaty. and proceed TO Florida TO induce the
remaining seminoles peacesbly 10 emigrate.
The necessary arrangements will require
several months to mature, and thus il will
not be before autumn that the mission can
be actually undertaken. Now that the
seminolcs are independent Of the Greeks.
and will have country Of their own for
their quiet and undivided possession. il is
thought the principal objection To the re-
moyal has been taken away. Those other
stipulations Of the above mentioned treaty,
whereby the United States engage 10 furnish
the reunited tribe with liberal means to
commence an improved political and social
existence, cannot but tend also 70 have a
