I.ifI heard some people say
aUpon this earth we cannot stay"
Why so? ''because the Comets near,
aWben IN an instant we shall hear

Oh what time this sure will be,
If shortly we have got to see,
This world on fire-no where to run,
No place to hide, this heat to shun

Must there yield up Its early breath;
The Mother too with it must sleep,
None left alone to mourn or weep.

Leaves NJ any friends to mourn and weep.

Then ali the world shall know its doom
How often do we hear the cry,

Of Jefferson. 1t was hoped and predicted
by the slavery extentionists that the

a temporary charactor-that as soon as the
Immediate exciting causes were remoysd,a
reaction would ensue, and that the old par

But reiterated and .unmistakeable express
ions of the people of these states, during
the past two yearsathrough the ballot box,
show that they are firmly fixed in their

zshioned democracy, and is very 10th to
aieve that his party, or bis party friends,
Build DO anything wrong. He has been
srticularly incredulous as to the alleged
brder Ruffian outrages in Kansas, and,
h great many well-meaning democrats
Rbo have not gone South, has contented
amself with the idea that "the accounts

ba chivalry at Columbia, which Mr.. Smith
Itended, has opened his eyes. The meet
II was called to listen to statement from
be Col. Baker, who has just returned from

feke up another. Mr.. Smith says, in re-
bring to The gallant ColonePs speech:
s.tHe pointed out the position Of Kansas
HI its immense Importance to the inter
Il of Slavery, and especially to its future
sonress, and justified the use ofany means
hatever, like man defending his life, to
1ake Kansas slave state. New England,
kw York and Ohio were sending out en-
rants on purpose to vote and control the
ections of Kansas, and the Missourians

Lafayette.

During his encampmentin theneighbor
hood Of Philadelphia, Washington was re.
peatedly IN that city making himself &C
lquainted with the military capabilities o.
the place and its surrounding country, and
directing constructions of Qualifications. on
the river. In one of these visits he be-
came acquainted with the young Marquis
ide Lafayette, who had recently arrived
| from France, in company with a number
of French, Polish and German officers. a.
mong whom was the Ba. on De Kalb.-
The Marquis was not quite twenty years Of
age, yet had already been married nearly
three years to a lady of rank and fortune.
Full Of the romance of liberty, be had torn
himself from his youthful bride, turned his
back upon the gayities and splendors of a
court, and in defiance of impediments and
difficulties multiplied in his path, had made
his way to America to join its hazardous
fortune.
He sent in his letters of recommends
ton TO Mr.. Lowell, Chairman Of the Com
mttee Of Foreign Affairs, andgapplied the
next day at the door of Congress TO know
his success.
Mr.. Lowell came forth and gave but lit
tie encouragement; Congress, in fact, was
embarrassed by MANY foreign applications
without merit. Lafayette Immediately
sent the following note: aA 49,. ~
after my sacrifices, I have the right to
ask two favors: one Is to serve at my own
expense, and the other to commence by
serving as volunteer" ,,
This simple appeal had It's effect; it
called attention to his peculiar case, and
Congress resolved ON the 3Tst of July,
that in consideration of his zeal, his illus
trious family and connections, he,should
have the rank of Mayor General in the ar
my of the United States. ~ ~
1t was at a public dinner, where num-
Der of members of Congress were present,
that Lafayette first saw Washington
He Immediately knew him, he said, from
the officers who surrounded him, by his
commanding air and person. When the
party was breaking up, Washington took
him aside and eompimented him in gra-
cious. manner on, his disinterested zeal, and
the generosity of his conduct, ,ard invited
him to make his head quarters at his home
Il cannot promise you the Injuries of a
court" said he, "but as you have become
an American soldier you willdoubtless ac-
cammodate yourself to the fare of an A
merican army"
