Parting Friends,

ere we not happier II we made no friends,
Fettering our being round with golden links,
That some new parting ever moment rends-
At whose reft chain the saddened spirit sinks?
The travellers on beaten highway go,
That in the dim blue distance melts away,
A thousand paths divergent to and fro,
Ope from it through the Sunshine of the day.
And. ever as we move from out each band,
Some dear companions with them even now,
Wave at dim opening paths their parting hand
They them in their farewell sorrow bow,
And then they go receding from their 81 ght,
Upon their separate paths among the years,
Never the eyes at their return shall light
That see them fading through tie mist of tears
For as our Journey. only yet began,
While yet the young leaves fluttcr DER our path,
Up to the purple zenith flames the SUM-
And all before a golden radiance hath
And yet, how many we have seen depart,
Across the light and shadow. far away;
Even now, quick pulsaton at the heart.
Sayeth that some depart. and who are they?
Even those it were glory to have known,
For noble souls are scarce upon this earth
This earth that sees through every verdant zone,
Its race decaying from their glorious birth;
But thesc-one was of the old hero type,
Such as amid earth's primal grandeur sprung
Such as with all its first luxurance ripe,
Beside the carly waves the Sciau+ sung.
The other was gentle woman soul
Ev' such Il soul as Rachels was of old,
When from the valleys. where her years did roll,
And from the watchings of her fathers fold,
She went with Israel forth into the wild,
And saw the laden camels slow depart
Where the red dawn above her fair home smiled
The home she left in loneliness of heart.
And when by unknown waters in the eve,
They pitched their tents, while round the hills
grew dim.
And up the stars aroses though she did grievc
Within her silent soul, twas hid from him:
And over the hills and plains they journeyed on,
Through the green silence of the new made earth
rnknowing of the land she looked upon,
Far from the tented valleys of her BIRTH
But they are gone, receding far away
Into the deep brown shadow of the woods,
Where radiant summer in her free wild play,
Crowns with her wealth of flowers the soliudes
And filings herself beneath the old green trees.
Upon the velvet moss, and sings aloud
Unto the careless chorus of the breeze
Far from the heat and tumult of the crowd
They go, but not in silence bide they long.
The naughty soul that scars above the shock,
Meet for lile's armed battle prompt and strong,
That breasts the idle surges like rock
Was never born to dream in forest caves,
Or chase the flying deer at dawn of day;
No, no. for it the tempest and the waves,
The wreath and crown the banner and the sway

The New Scheme OF the Republican Leaders

When the Legislature met in January, the
intention Of Thurlow Weed and the other repub
lican leaders was to disfranchise this city by put
ting the various branches fits government in com
mission and authorizing the Governor TO appoint
the commissioners. This scheme was fully deye-
loped in The several bills 10 which we have refer
red from time TO time. II has been practically
killed by the opinion Of the Attorney General Of
the State, denying it, coDshtutionality; for
though The republicans would willingly step over
the body Of a Know Nothing official, the litga.
ton TO which his opinion would afford a text l.
enough to deter them from carrying out their
scheme in the shape at first intended.
They have now devised plan which they think
will secure them all the benefits of their original
scheme without conflicting with the constitution.
They propose. as before, to put the Police, City
Hall, Central Park, &c. in commission, but they
arc willing 10 select the commissioners out of the
officials at present in Office having been elected
by the people OF the city. They simply intend to
pick out Of the various city officials all the
leading republicans, and make them commission
ers. BY this adroit device they calculate to carry
out their original intention of securing the spoils
for their party, aud Gripping the democrats 10

THE NEw MEXICAN TREATY.-The more we
look into the terms of this new treaty concluded
with the Mexican government of General
Comonfert by our Minister, Forsyth, the more
we think it entitled to the approval of our Cabi.
net aud Senate 1t proposes that Mexico shall
have the liberty to borrow fifteen millions
upon the faith Of our overflowing treasury; and
that in consideration therefor, new postal acili-
ties, new commercial facilities, and frontier re-
ciprocities, on the Canadian principle, shall be
conceded 10 US, in addition to the payment OF
American claims to the extent of three millions
of dollars. 1t appears, also, that the treaty is
open to contingent land arrangement whereby,
in the last resort Of Mexican inability to settle
up another slice of Mexican territory will fall
quietly into our possession. We presume that the
treaty will so over to the new administration and
We hope that both this and the Dallas Clarendon
treaty may be finally adopted in that shape which
will best contribute to the relief and elevation of
Mexico, to the peace Of the world, to the success
of our commerce and TO the dignity and honor
Of our country.

Governor Geary has proved himself the very man

strengthened and sustained in it by the govern

be instantly reinstated by Mr.. Buchanan; or, if
Pierce should spare him, the President elect,
among his first official acts should address him.
