Extract from the Ode Of J. 4.
Thomson, Esq,

a., ryr IxAUouRArioN OF THE EaUEsTRI-
AySrAruE OF WAsHISGroN.
And now, my brothers, what to US remains
0f solemn duty which the day ordans'
While vet Virginia. gifted sons prolong,
In thoughtful eloquenee and lyric song,
The fond Inscriptions Of a nations praise,
Which my too feeble voice attempts to raises
'Tis that we here in gratitude renew
The patriot-vows to country ever due,
And on this holy altar firmly swear
The blessed compact never to impair
Which the Republic fathers gave, to prove
The bouudless wealth Of their undying love,
As when a planet, first in motion wheeled
In placid circles sweeps Creations held,
Nor tumult causes there, nor haply fears,
Theangry jarring of its sister spheres,
Rat moves forever on its destined way,
+, Gouid music with benignant ray;
S,may each added star, that makes in turn
Oar consolidated glories brighter burn,
Drop silently into its ordered place
r, run its radiant and unpauslng race;
Blessing and blest, 'gainst every shock Sc
cure,
Throuoh times revolving cycles to endure
Fill. like Orion's belt, our ensign's bars
Shall blaze with countless multitudes OF
stars,
Their mingled Light into one halo thrown,
Bu eacha planet dazzling when alone!
aut Fine, alas! still crumbles into dust,
The brazen column and the marble bust;
Da.ne5 the image from It's pedestal
And weavus for mighty States the funeral
pail;
Thus the proud Statue, which we rear III
bronze
And wr.alhe to-day with Freedoms gon-
ialons,
MAY .noulder into ruin, when the State
Winch gave it birth is waste and desolate.
Bl, ruth uninlured shall forever stand,
Anl dsathless mind can mock the spoiler's
hand:
And 50, wherever Law shall build its fame
And Learning push its humanizng reign
Wherever DER the futures misty seas
Men shall revere the name of Socrates,
Aud generous youth with rapture dwell
upon
The shiningpage which tells Of Marathon
INTO what clines remote the sacred ark
Shall ye, be safely borne in Freedoms bark
Freighted with legacies of worth unpriced,
The truths of Luther and the creed of
Christ
There Washington shall live, and there en-
shrined
Within the vast hcart-temple of mankind,
Our honored Commonwealth shall still re-
ccive
Thcpurcst worship grateful love can give
Hcrpraise according millions shall proclaim
And earth's remotest age shall bless Nir-
ginia's name!

Newspaper Patronage.

Newspaper patronage, saFs
cotempofary, is a curious thing in The
estimation of some people. a man
lives near you-never took your pa

too something else; yet goes + gllary

Among the other advantages of the
late row in Congress is the bright
prospect which it holds out of a speedy
settlement of the Kansas question
Mr.. Buchanan and various other sa-
ses and statesmen had been endeavor-
ing to unrayel this tangled problem
by appeals to the reason and patriot
ism of the country, but, as every body
must own, without the smallest sue
cess. The solution of the Kansas
complications was apparently as re-
mote as ever, when the late breeze
sprung up in Congress, and matters
were at once brought to head. 1t
is clear now, that we have made a
beginning, and, if Congress possessed
influence in any degree proportioned
to its merit, the end would not be far
off. However, the prospect is prom
ising. Do not schoolmasters, when
boy turns a deaf year to reason, ap-
peal to other portions of his body be-
sides his hesd3 The seat ofhonor'
is sometimes the readiest road to the
brains, and few vigorous licks will
often clear the most clouded under
standing and promote the most har-
monious relations between teacher
and pupil. On the same principle,
we take it for granted that the Con
gressional pugilists have made some
progress in settling the Kansas i'm
broglio. Still, we are not sufficiently
advised as to the character ofthe blows
and which ofthe parties suffered most,
to predict with certainty the result,
As a general thing, we would say that

gument, though a socdolager in the
centre Of the abdomen is more apt to
exhaust the subject. We should have
been pleased, however to hear of
some gouging and the biting OIL of a
fe W ears and noses. This is pecu
liarly American feature of a free fight,
or rather a collection ofEeatures, pre-
senting a lively illustration Of ma
tonal propensity. 1t would have ad-
ded an appropriate decoration to the
new Hall Of Representatives if the
main aisle could have been garnished
with heaps Of dazzling eye balls, sur,
rounding here and there, dl.;H:s1a''ed
and prominent proboscis. We sug
gest that Rogers find room in one of
the pannels of his bronze Congre.-
sonal door for representative of a
free Congressional fight, and avail
himself of a poetic license in pepper
ing the scene with a few pulverised
"peepers and smellers," the whole
uhowng to posterity a republican
mode Of deciding great questions.
We would speak of the matter
gravely, but it is too grave; too morti-
flying; too humiliating. We cannot
bear to think of it, in its effects upon
our national good name, and, above
all upon that, which is involved there
in, the cause Of liberal princi piles
throughout the world. We see no
hope of improvement. Single fights
have increased to fights of dozens;
how long will it be before these will
swell to fights of thousands, and of
tens of thousands.

The North and the-.South

The editor of the Richmond Eyami-
ner, calm and dispassionate obser-
yer, who has recently been sojourning
at Washington, says that the ill-leel-
ing between the slaveholding and
non-slavehoIding sections of the I'm
ion, which has been rapidly increas-
ing of late years, lis apparent in the
bearing towards each other Of the
members from the various sections.
The representatives of the several
States" says the editor, "no longer
meet as brethren of the same house
hold, or as members Of the same firm,
with one feeling, one interest, one des-
tiny They meet rather as the req
resentatives oftwo hostile nations, the
one seeking 20 invade the rights anil
crush the power Of the other. l. is
probably not gong too far to assert
that there was in l775, as much
sympathy between the people Of the
American colonies and the govern
msnt Of the mother country, as ex-
lists at this moment between the ma
jority of the representatives of the
two grand section. of the Union. This
assertion may be deemed by some
as a bold and reckless one, but eve
ry calm observer Of passing events at
Washington must admit, without
hesitatian, that it is startling fact"

We hear Of sad case Of death in
Frankfort, which happened Yesterday,
BY using a quaek medicine bought Of
a pedlar. A middle aged lady had
been complaining Of rheumatism in
her back. A few days since a pedlar
called al the lady's house with medi-
cines for sale. Amongst them he had
a specific for the disease Of which the
lady complained. i being cheap, and
the sufferer thinking it would do her
no harm, bought bottle Of the pre-,
tended remedy and applied II portion
Of it to her back, the medicine being
very powerful, drove the rheumatism
inwardly to the heart, SpaSms oc-
cured Immediately and the woman
was prostrated. An eminent physl-
clan was called, and everything done
to relieve the patient, but il was Of no
avail. She fingered along until yes
terday, when she died When will
people learn TO let these nostrums a
lone? Time and time again have we
warned our readers against them, but
still some folks will persist in buying
and using them. This i. another sad
death and warning should be taken
from it. The medicine used, we un-
derstand, was oil Of cedar.--RocacStr
