place in its editorial columns:
IA European officer, apparently Of very
superior military education, is now actively
engaged in different States of the Union in
enlisting officers for some unknown military
purpose. Only officers of artillery and ell q.

Notifications are wanted. These enlistments
are made with the ostensible design of form

putting that country in an efficient state Oh
defence against any future attack of fiibus-
tiers. According to statements made in con-
nection with these proceedings, The five re-
puhlics Of Centlal America are 10 be trans
formed into one monarchy. The plan is to
be carried out by the aid of political party
in Mexico, and the landing of a military
force is TO be effected in one of the ports on
the Mexican coast South of Coatzacoaclos.
The whole intrigue may be in connection
with the movements OF Santa Anna, though
it would appear that the immediate destina-
tion Of the officers to be enlisted is really

IAN AErfszkITTo'iTi ADDRESS ADORE S~''''


Dear antics, come give your attention,
! am grateful and wish to relate,
That honor your noble convention,
Who would make nie ruler of State;
You have fl'd me with ardent desire.
To rule and administer laws,
My heart, with political fire,
Now beats for the democrat cause.
vow, will do what you tellNnes
IL you will but give me your aid;
If the office seek is secured me,.
Your service shall all be repaid.
To fight against Rollins, now ralyR
Remember your triumphs thatfs pasf,
Let your voice, from hilltop md s4iky,
Send forth strong democrathiaSh
OF the issue, own, am fearful,
Since Rollins has taken the field,
For he uses his weapon so careful,
That many old enemies yield;
Then rally all forces together,
Domestics, and foreignurs too,
We shall need every bird of each feather,
To watt me triumphantly through.
We must still use deception in battle,
For Rollins will make bold stand,
The people are fond of his prattle,
With Joy they give him their hand;
He is playing the dell in some places,
Which | am quite sorry to see,
For know by the cut of their faces,
That many are fearful of me.
They know was reared freesoiler,
And came from the East 10 the West
They know, too, I've been great toiler
For oliice-the highest and best;
Then, help me to cut grand figure,
Let the democrat presses agree,
To say I'd ensave every Niger,
And Rollins would set them all free.
fpough ttothas'ssssl Ssss. more than twenty,
Make the people believe if YOU can,
BY sending out documents plenty.
That he is no pro-slavery mar.
am sure no man will fight drawer
Than /, for the democrat cause,
linen publish this trick in my favor,
And sanction pro-slayery laws.
Now, blockheads arc laughing quite hearty,
For which should lightly complain.
. That peep'd in, Know Nothing party,
But shortly peep'd out again;
But 10 tell you the truth of this matter,
did like great many more,
fear'd that the party would shatter,
Then | could no office secure.
So thought that was mistaken,
b. In getting high office, width thanks,
| would dodge,ju to save my own bacon,
And fight In the democrat ranks:
nov hope you will sanction this reason,
For quitting the Know. Nothing lodge;
AS money sometimes causes treason,
And office will make people dodge.
For thought that Sam surely was dying,
And soon would be laid in his grave,
But our leaders were forced into lying,
The spoiIs and their office to save;
.'Sam's boys by this method were beaten,
We frightened and put them 10 flight,
Thus Buck and his friends got seat in
The house that the nation calls white.

can be followed here with great safety,

genevally leave their household goods behind
