THE SNOW STORM.

'Tis fearful night in the winter time,
AS cold as it ever can be;
The roar of the storm is heard like the
chime
Or the wave on an angry sea.
The moon is full, but her silver light
The Storm dashes out with her wings to-
night;
And over the sky, from south to north,
Not star seen as the winds come forth
In the strength of mighty glee.
All day the snow came down-all day
AS it never came down before,
And over the earth at night there lay
Some two or three feet ore.
The fence was lost, and the walls ofstone
The windows blocked, and the well-curb
cones
The hopstack grown to mountain lift;
The wood pile looked like monster drift
AS it lay at the farmers door.
As the night set in, came hail and snow,
And the air grew sharp and chill,
And the warning roar of a sullen blow,
Was heard on the distant hill;
And the Norther! see on the mountain
Peak,
In his breathing how the old trees writh,
and shrek
He shouts along the plain, ho no!
He drives from his nostrils the bindin!

And growls with savage will.

favorable opportunities ofthrowing him

that whilst happy in the presence of her

prevalent is this custom, that is not an
uncommon thing to see natives with one
or more Of these love scars on the calf ol

RACE WITH LocoMoTIvE.-Under

Mr.. Meigs was on his way to church

the locomotive, which came upon them
at fast rate, without any previous no

very much frightened, and started of
along narrow side path at furious
pace. Mr.. Meigs says -" Along this

ELECTIONEERING IN MISSOURI.

The Missouri correspondent of the New York
Tribune communicates an account of two election
eering speeches he heard at Union in that State.
One from the lately elected Senator Trusten Polk
and the other from Mr.. Blair of St. Louis, who
was last fall elected to Congaess from that CITY,
Surely it marks progress when such are the stump
speeches of politicians in a slaveholding State.

the crowd was gathered, and Senator Polk took
the stand, introduced by a political friend. Mr.,

man has been in the State, how much of taxes he
pays how intelligent respectable he may be, he
is not allowed to vote. This glariug injustice has
been seen by the people of New England, and
New York. and Wisconsin, who are moving to Sc
cure this right to all their colored citizens. And
so ought Illinois to do,
And now we ask, have we nothing to do with
slavery in Illinois, when our statute is so black
with oppression In these three articles we have
noticed, the law to preyent the immigration of
free negroes into the State upon penalty Of virtual
enslavement-the law requiring of those already
in the State thousand dollars security not to
come upon the town--the law which prevents a
colored person testfying against white mans
crime-and the disability Of voting. If this be
not oppression justice must have abdicated but
it has not. Illinois is virtually slave State
made so by corrupt legislators and kept so by the
people. And here is our remedy-elect men who
will repeal these odious enactments And to Sc.
cure right vote, public sentiment must be cor
rectcd-more of public conscience must be gener-
ated There is great work to wipe the foul blot
from our State. The State whose soil drank the
blood of the first martyr to American freedom
