erent. The mind is active. Men are continu-
ally changing their views to suit the occasion.
Popular Sovereignty year or two ago, was a
very different thing from what it now appears
to be. The right to alter constitutions may
come up hereafter in a very different light from
what it now presents itself. 1t is, to say the
least, better to make instruments right in the
first place, than to rely on alterations; more es-
pecially when Liberty and human rights are in
jeopardy.
Unjust be clear, to every unprejudiced mind
that the President takes a one-sided view Of the
whole matter, and has determined to make that
view party test. Tests of true Democracy, I'M
known to the Fathers, are constantly presenting
themselves, and every new test shakes the party
to its centre. A few more only are wanting to
sweep it from existence. The Fugitive Slave Act
took its numbers. The repeal of the Missouri
Compromise made another inroad. Next comes
the test of enforcing Nave Constitution upon
State against the toiH of its citizens.
Would to God there were no pensioned presses
or Government lackeys to advocate these damna-
bic heresies but such is not the fact. They
have been pressed upon the people, and the effect
has been to drive such men as Hale, RantouI,
Chase, Boutwell,, Hamlin, Fremont, Houston,
Bradley, King, Blair, and host of other men,
good and true, from the Democratic party; and
the last test bids fair to drive off most of the
Northern wing that is worth retaining.
1t stands the friends of Freedom in hand to
look to one thing, and that is, to see that those
men who are disfranchised by the Administration
on account of their independence and manhood,
are not sacrificed. We must adopt the rule Of
giving the eleventh hour man his penny. The
patronage of the Government is resorted to, AND
men are induced to vote against the will of then
constituents, by the promise of better place
than the one they occupy. If men are to be re-
warded, on the one side, for doing orong; shall
they not, on the other side, for doing rigM?-
Those members of Congress who will not swervt
from duty, at the nod of the Administration
must be sustained, though the poacerS that be de-
sert them. Let us have sentiment in the Free
States that knows no past, but looks we'll to the
present course of every politician.
Democrats have held on to party, hoping ant
believing that this and that test of devotion tx
Slavery would be the last, but they come thicker
and faster; and the end is not yet, unless firm
stand is taken against further encroachments
Minnesota stands knocking for admission int
the Union, with two Senators elect at Washing
ton, both Democrats and elected as Buchanan
men, with Constitution sustained by the sam,
party and approved by the people; but she mus
wait and come in with Kansas and Slavery
against the will of the people, or the Uniol
must be dissolved. Rest assured, that so long a
Democrats will take such medicine, Just SO lon,
it will be thrust down their throats-and II,
longer.

g We regret exceedingly that the President
feels it to be his duty to recommend the adms-
sion of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitu-
ton, while so large majority of her people are
opposed to it. We have been, and are now in
favor of having each and every article of her
Constitution submitted to her people. "-Rut-

sing this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Using humbug to the world, it is but ma
tural that we should come in for por-
ton Of the effluvia cast from the expiring
poZe-coi.
An individual, who from moral defect
in his character can trangYess the law in,
one case, and publicly exult over its eva
sion in another, is not apt to be over
scrupulous in any emergency that may
arise. 1t is easy for such person to amass
wealth, and no great credit will attach to
him either for the jecrs he may cast at one
who prefers the slow and honest bread Of
industry, except among birds of his own
feather. We confess to, at one time, hav-
ing vely small Office, in very small
back room of our store, with a small press,
&C.; and probably if our computations of
conscience had troubled us as little as
some others in this world in our TRANSACT
tons with our fellow men, and our regard
fol the laws Of the land-we, too, might
have gloated over ill-gotten wealth. But,
however detective, such was not the force
Of our education.

sSuGer little children come unto me, and for
bid them not: far Of SHeh stte KiMg,toDs OF God. "
When hoary age has run its course.
And then. in faith, lies down to die,
We yield submission to the force
That sewers us-with scarce n sigh
We reason thus Our ighest hope.
Our mission here earth is flld;
Why then, with vain regrets, invoke
longer term-a wider field.
But youth presents diff rent case,
long perspective lies before;
golden mi irage we mbrace
Of future bliss laid up in store.
But who can sketch fathers care2
Or who can paint n mothers love?
The anxious thOught-the fearful pray'r-
Bright emenatiOns from above!
Oh how delusive how unsound-
The past has often prov d it So
A heartless world is always found,
To cross our path where eer we go.
Temptations lurk on every side
Our path is strewn with many thorns
For every hour in peace we glide,
A thOusaeid tell of ruthless storms.
But now there is a better thought
A brighter hope to you is given,
Your dearest boy-it's true-is NOT,
But he has been transferrd to heavn.
Ny dear kind friends, we all must die,
Our parting then, is only brief
Then dry the tear-restran the sigh,
And look to God for sure relief
