saw bright and joyous youth,
GAY, rowing, fair and free,
A noble mark was on his brow,
A bud from hopes fair tree.
But ere that bud had opened wide
Its petals to the sun,
A silkcn snare was laid for him,
This noble, gifted one.
He slipped with JOY the sparkling wine,
And thought no danger near;
Ills wealthiest friends, they did the same,
What cause had he for fear.
But soon a mothers earnest love,
Amid the thickening gloom,
Espied, but ah il was too late,
Der sons most horrid doom.
She raised fervent prayer on high.
That God might save her child;
Aud loving sisters plead in vain.
That he should be less wild,
But all was vain, he journeyed on,
No earthly power could save,
- And soon for all kind friends could do
He filed a drunkard's grave
And now young friends lesson learn,
r And meyer once begin
Tojourney on the downward road,
The fatal road of sin.

joseph II. Collins

We are glad to find that this young cham
pion Of American principles is prosecuting
the canvass not only vigorously, but effec-
nent John B. Clark. Notwithstanding Mr..
Collins is very young man while Clark is
politician Of age and experience, versed in
all the trickery of the wre-puler and dem
agogue, yet upon all occasions he pins the
old gentleman 10 the wall and administers
10 him such merciless castgations as cause
him to fairly roar with rage and pain. He
takes up the political history Of the un,iring
office-seeker, exposes his numerous twist
ings and turnings and doublings, first a
Wing then Democrat, then a Know Moth.
ing, then on old line Wing, then again a
Democrat, and the effect is said TO be cleo
trical. .
We hold that il is the duty of every A.
merican in the District and every Benton
nan and old line Wing TO support Collins,
and by his election administer such rebuke
to his time serving opponent as shall not
only prove salutary to him but 10 thousands
of others equally unreliabley by whom our
State is accursed. We like to see the po-
litical hopes of all such men blasted. Men
who are continually shifting their position
from one party to another, ever seeking the
strongest, without regard to principle, ought
to be buried so deep that the hand of resur.
rection shall not reach them. They are ex-
cresences on the body polite, preying upon
its healthy vitality, and the dissenting knife
OF popular condemnation Shout be applied
as the only eficacious remedy. Mr.. Collins
is young man, it is true, hut histoty reveals
the fact that at least three-fourths of the
brilliant actions that have startled the world
and that stand out prominently in the annals
oi the past as monuments Of human great
ness have been performed by young men.
Clark is an aged man and yet he is not the
equal Of Collins All concur in pronouncing
him most incorrgible bore upon the stump,
and wonder that such a reputation could ev-
er haze been built upon so slight founda-
tion. We say then that Collins, although a
stripping comparatively, is not only the equal
bat the superior Of Clark. He consented
TO take the field when others, who were
naturally looked to as American champions,
destined, and now, petty local jealousies
ought not to spring up and diminish his
chances OF success. We hope therefore
that the opponents of the Anti Benton ticket
will see the propristy and the Importance
not only to Collins, but TO Major Rollins, of
Lurying all tfihing dissentions which have
40 foundation nor justification in sound rea-
con and common sense and rally at once as
one man around the youthful champion oil
I .eir principles. If this be done, we believe
lat Clark may be beaten. II any anti
y mi on man in the District could be beaten
he may, for there is certainly not more ex-
{ ,hivnable -TSouihern Sentinel.

Coz. SwITzLER: | wish to give YOU a
short sketch of what took place today
Mr.. Collins and Gen. Clark spoke here,
and | assure you Collins handled Clark most
beautifully. He showed clearly his old "a
gyism and his inconsistency during the cam
vass and during his whole political life.--
He read the certificate Of several citizens of
your county on the General, which operated
on the Antics like the bursting of bomb
shell. Clark had been denying his Column
bia speech all through the canvass, and this
certificate makes him lsok sheepish. He
says that Collins can prove anything by
such witnesses, and calls them everything
but gentlemen. Clark told here to-day that
if any man had stoleu horse, he could
prove himself clear by such witnesses; and
that he would not take there testimony on
oath. Clark would not say this in the Boone
county court house, for he knows more re-
spectacle, honorable gentlemen do not live
in the State. But he failed in making the
good people Of Linn believe him. Collins is
making the road plain-sure. Neither Roll
Inns nor Collins will miss any Benton, Wing
or American votes in this county.
Collins is mailing Clark down terribly
him fighting mad sometimes. think Col
Inns will make much better race than Lind
ley. He is young man of the first order
OF talents. Hurrah for Rollins rnd Col
Inns! G.

Clark II. Green, Esq.
DEAR SIR: This has been a glorious day
for the American party! Gen. John B.
Clark the Democratic Candidate for Con-
gress in this District, and ]. M. Collins
the able and eloquent champion of Ameri-
can principles, met here to-day in the dis
cussion OF the political issues now dividing
the parties in Missouri. Mr.. Collins o.
pinned the discussion, by saying, that the
paramount purpose OF tbs American party
was the maintenance of the Union, and op-
position 10 all principles, measures, and
movements that would tend to endanser or
subvert it. Hence its earnest desire to
discountenance and forever silence the agi-
tation OF the slavery question, which can,
not possibly do any good, TO either section,
but may, and if not discontinued too surely
will, produce great and irreparable evils to
our whole country. Hence too its hostility
to the encrorchments of foreignism, against
which, we have been warned by the purest
and wisest statesmen and patriots, of our
country, and which our present experience
impressively teaches MS, is pregnant with
danger TO our Union, and to our republican
form Of Government. Hence, also, is its
unwayering opposition to that party which
is only enabled to retain its power by truck,
ling to the foreign-born population of our
country. Said Mr.. Collins, these princ.
Piles and purposed ARE NATIONAL, and not
sectional. The evils al which they strike
are felt as much in the South, as in the
North, and perhaps more. All portions of
the country are alike interested in the ap-
plication of the remedies proposed by the
American party for these evils. But we
have not the time to follow Mr.. Collins
through his mastery address. Suffice it 10
say, that, never have we heard the princ-
Piles of the American party, so ably and
eloquently handled, and so trumphantIy
yindicated, Gen. Clark finds in MI. Coi.

FIRE PRooF SAFEs,-The recent fire at

relative merits of different safes in use a.
mong our merchants. Yesterday our at

which was opend after il been ninety hours
in the fire, exposed TO all to all the fury Of
the flames. The interior of the safe was

pers were in state Of perfect preservation.
This certainly shpuld be regarded as a sui-
ficient Test OF the qualities of these safes,

Americans ought 10 be proud Of their young
though powerful defender of their princi I.
Piles. In the close Of his address, lie told
the people that in spite of all the efforts oil
old party leaders to crush out The A merican
party, its principles, were taking deep root
in the hearts OF the American people, and
that the dsy OF their triumph would come,
and in the words of the immortal advocate
Of American independence, ''through the
dark gloom OF the present, could be seen
The lightness Of the future, as the sun in
heaven" Gen. Clark then followed in an
address Of two hours in length, touching
but one single argument mooted by Mr..
Collins, but combining himself, exclusively,
to the task Of vindlcating bis past political
career. His effort was rather lame one,
but we marvel not, when we recollect how
vascillatiug has been his political career
Had we time, we would like to follow the
Gen. throughout his speech, particularly in
that portion where he attemp pied to discuss
the Kansas and Nebraska bill, but we must
desist, having already occupied too much
time and space. The Americans are in fine
spirits here, and though there is majority
OF some 80 or 100 votes against them, yet
you can safely set Linn down, as certain
for Rollins s. Collins. The American par
ty Is not dead. 1t does, not even sleep

standard. In haste, .f.s ...

The peopleswere struok with marked
difference between the cas,didatts, not only

WigRiied and gentlemanly, whilst Stewart
was pefsonbi, low and vulgar in many Of his
expressions, and by his shamefuly indecent
anecdotes, drove men from him who would
q otherwise have have supported him. Rol.
Inns lays down bis propositions, establishes
them by tesiimohy, and draws logical con
illusions, whilst Stewart makes assertions

with any other testimony than his own, and
involves himself in absurdites and plain
contradictions. will give you single ex-
ample as kind of pansa de multis; at one
time he asserted that he was in open coun-
oil, but never took any Of the degrees Of the
American order, and at another time plainly
admitted that he took two degrees.
Stewart may do in some places, but he
is not the man to core with Rollins on the
stump. The Antics will generally vote for
Stewart, as many Of them would do If he
were a Brigham Young; but there is no
question of this fact: Rollins gained and
Stewart lost votes in st. Clair county by
the discussion on the 10Th. Thave not heard
them at other points, but am told that the
same thing is true in Benton, Hickory, and
other counties where the have addressed the
people. Rollins surpasses the expectations
of his friends, but Stewart falls below.

Mr.. G. II. GREES-Dedr Sir: have

ded 10 stop and hear him.

audience what Col. Stewart would say, in

of, defamation, assertions without proof,
deAunciation, egotism, &c., and labored
hard to convince the people, that he was
