THE OLD wATcH.

My grandfathers watch is battered and old,
1t never contained either jewels or gold:
I've carried thee now for many long years,
And cherished by me, tho some gave thee sneers.
Although thou art thick, and not outwardly fine,
Thro' summer and winter you've kept good time !;
I've seen many rival all cased in fine gold,
Yet still prefer you for time, tho you're old;
Poor, common and worn, with thin silver case
scarcely can see the time now by the face;
Yet still can hear, by that old wheezy sound,
You must be repaired, oryop' II soon run aground ;
And so long as live none shall part me and you,
Save while you re repairing by BARTHOLOMEW.
And as those old hands point the hour of day,
Ittells me how time passes swiftly away;
For soon must leave thee for none will be caring
1 60, like you then, for thorough repairing.

In July last, a number Of citizens ofCon--
necticut addressed you, as Chief Magistrate
of tliis nation, a Memorial on the affairs
Of Kansas. To this you replied, under the
date<of Aug. Is, 1857, in manner which
shows that you misunderstood, to some
extent, the ground taken by the Memorial
lists, for we would not impute to YOU the
intention to misrepresent them. As you
have, thought proper to lay the Memorial
and Reply before the public, a large part
of the Mem morialists. nave, conferred on the
subject, and have felt themselves compelled
again to address you. We would remark,
then, that the main facts alleged in, that
memorial are either passed over. without
denial. or explicitly .avowed in syorrs re-
ply S's' = - 8 -
These facts arc two: First, sfthat the fun-
damental principles of the Constitution of
the United States and our political institu-
tiops is that the people shall make their
own laws, and elect their own rulers
Secondly. ..'that Gov, Walker, of Kansas.
openly and atowedly represents and pro-
claims, that the President of the United
States is employing through him (Walher)
an army, one purpose OF which is to force
the people of Kansas to, obey. laws which
are not tlleir, own. nor of the United States;
but laws which, is notorious and estab-.
lished upon evidence, they never made and,
rulers they never elected. {" As TO these
facts. the material facts alleged Lv'' your
Memorialists,, and which chiefly: require
vindiction from you, they sayrfhat they
find no denial Of them in your reply, They
do not say that you have. attcm ped n no. o,
yindiction Of your acts and doings through
Gov. Walker; but only. that they can find
in your reply no plain or explicit denial of,
the facts referred to-not even what they
,conshidcr the shadow Of denial. These
facts stand in the Memorial then, uncon-,
tradictcd, by what .you evidently. con-.
slider triumphant reply. Why. is this2
Arc these assertions, on which the Whole.
subject at issue depends, untrue-and yet
no denial of them-not a word to prove.

can you expect your Memorialists,a and the
country to believe and to say? What, but
that the facts. which they. allegc, are mo-
torious and undeniable2. - =.
