There is no paper in this State, and very few

ing no allegiance to any National Party, nor
seeking to advance its interestsby subservien.

ion on public men and mcasures-in short the
aim will be to make it faithful representative
Of the people, and a fearless advocate Of tho
interests of the State. The position of the

OF the arrointecs and organs of the Admins
tration to the Free Soil or Black Republican
Party, as exhibited In the course of the Govern

South should shake off the shackles of party,
and unhesitatingly define its position. and
avow its determination to main tain and defend
the rights of tho Southern States. It is now

Full rounded limbs IL doth recall,
For fa'scy's eyes to trace.
If your foot is pretty, show it,

Twill help your other lovely charms,
To win some nice young man.
The practiSei eye may we'll distr"st
a nicely padded breast;
But when it rests upon your foot,
1t kno.cs Of all tie rest.
