But when, two years later, the Princess Eliza

was married at Carleton House. late on May

Free State Men Of Kansas.

The Washington correspondent Of tho y. J..
Trib"ne, under date Cf March Sth gives the
following:
Intelligence has just been received from
the highest authority in Kansas, stating that
numerous petitions, signed by the Free State
men are on their way to Washington, in favor
Of the immediate admission Of Kansas under
the LccomptOn Constitution. The President
has received letters from responsible sources
in Kansas, which state in positive terms, that
most Of the prominent Free Soil men in tho
Territory desire the immediate passage Of the
LccomptOn Constitution. 1t is said that even
Lane and Robinson desire its passage, and
are on their way to Washington. Thirteen
of the fifteen Democrats from Pennsylvania
will vote for tho Lii; ; there is gain Of four
votes from this State. The Senate have agreed
to sit till five every evening during the week,
and later, if necessary, and 10 take the vote
on the admission Of Kansas on Monday next
All other business in the Senate will bc de-
ferrcd until the question is disposed of def
nitcly."
II this had come from almost any other
source We should have hcsitntcd to publish it,
although We have long anticipated this result.
The Free State leaders in Kansas are eminent
| ly mcrcendry and ambitious, and We have
believed that they would very easily overcome
their objections 20 the Lccompton Constitu-
ton whenever they became satisfied that they
could obtain the Offices under it. This, it is
now pretty well settled, they can do, as the
Legislature will undoubtedly he in their hands
in the first instance, and they will have the
power to investigate the frauds attending the
election Of the 4th Of January, and to declare
elected their State officers, whom they will find
to have received the most legal votes. They
will thus gain control of every branch of the
government and every Office under it, and
thus their objections to the Constitution will
be removed; and instead Of rising in rebellion
to resist that instrument, it seems that they
are anxious to have it imposed upon them
These Kansas patriots are evidently getting
sick Of making political capital for other folks
and arc now determined TO look out for them.

THE CRADLE SONG OF THE POOR.

"Hush! cannot bear to see thee
Stretch thy tiny hands in vain;
have got no bread to give thee,
Nothing, child, to ease thy pain.
When God sent thee first to bless me,
Proud and thankful, too, was ],
Now, my darling, I, thy mother,
Almost long 70 see thee die.
Sleep my darling, thou art weary,
God 10 good, but life Is dreary.
"I have watched thy beauty fading,
And thy strength sink day By day,
Soon, know, will Want aud Fever
Take thy little life away.
Famine makes thy father reckless,
Hope has left both him and me;
We would suffer all, my baby,
Had we but crust for thee.
Sleep my darling, thou art weary,
God Is good, but life is drcary.
"Bcttcr thou shOuldst perish carly,
Starve so sOOn, my darling one,
Than live tO want, 10 sin, to struggle,
NainIy still, as have done.
Better that thy angel spirit
With my joy, my peace were flown,
Ere thy heart grow cold aud careless,
Reckless, hopeless, like my own.
Sleep, nv darling, thou art weary,
God is good, but life is dreary.
al am wasted, dear. with hunger,
And my brain is all oppressed
have scarcely strength TO press thee,
Wan and feeble to my breast.
Patience, baby. God will help us,
Death will come 10 thee aud me,
lie will take us 10 his Heaven.
Where no want or pain can bc.
Sleep. my darling. thou art weary,
God is good, but life is dreary."
Such the plant that, late and early,
Did we listen, we might hear
Close beside us-but the thunder
or a city dulls our enr.
Every heart, like Gods bright Angel,
Can bid one such SOFT Nv case;
God has glory when his children
bring his poor ones joy and peace.

| ity of its Legislature, or the loyalty of its
! colonists. ever could have effected; that in
truth distance between Canada and England
is now annuled,' and that for purposes of mu-
tual communication and good understanding,
the Atlanric is dried up, and the two countries
have become in reality 0ne!'
1t is for us of Minnesota, as contend that
this new tendency to more intense unity
between the Canadas and the Mother Country,
produced by this last engineering of the
electric fluid, possesses an important interest
beyond that which will enurc from it to any
other member of the American COnfederacy.
TO sustain this view need but point out that
on the other side of the northern boundary
of Minnesota lies the region known as the
HUDSON Bay P6ssessioas; that the Red Bver
of the North, bounded on either hand by a
rich valley after flowing nOrthward for about
| two hundred miles between the State OF Min
nesota and the unorganized Territory OF
Dakota, still waters the same fertile valley tor
| two hundred miles further through those very
Possessions; and that within the same Brush
dependencies, the valleys of the AsSiihoolh;
of both branches of the great SASKATCHEWAN,

Rocky Mountains; OF Peace ana ho'i,PSoh
and Frazer's Rivers afford unsettled lands
Of ,ncurnassed fertility to the home seeking
cmiarant while it has been clearly proved
that there is no greater mistake than the
common supposition that the climate of those
! northern regions is so severe as IL be any
obstacle to their dense settlement. and that
too at no very remote pcriod by millions vi
civilized beings.
The discovery of gold or tssaes'S River
has already opened the eyes u the British
Government to the Importance Of that northern
country as the probable future scat of num-
crous powerful colonies, and TO the cxpediency
Of soon breaking up the selfish and merely
trading monopoly Of the Hudson Bay CQm-
pany, whose interests would preserve as a
wilderness for the occupancy of Indians and
wild beasts, country which God formed for
cultivation and enjoyment by civilized man.
