How Cyrus Laid the Gable.

A BALLAD pY JOHN G. SAKE.
Come listen all unto my song;
1t is no silly fable;
'Tis all about the mighty cord V5 T
They call the Atlantic Cable.
Bod CYRus FIELD be said, says he,
have have pretty notion
That | can run telegraph
Across the Atlantic Ocean.
Then all the people laughed, and said,
Ykey'd like to see him do il;
lle might get halfseas-over, but
He ueyer could go through it,
To carry out his foolish plap
he never would be able;
lie might as well go hang himself
With his Atlantic Cable.
But CYRUs was valiant man,
A fellow of decision;
And needed not their mocking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did bis bravcst efforts fail.
And yet his mind was stable;
lie want the man to break his heart
Because he broke his cable.
"Once more my gallant boys!" he cried;
"Ihree times!==you know the fable"
("Ill make it thirty" muitered he,
''But will lay the cable"
Once more they tried hurrah! hurrahl
What means this great commotion?
The Lord be praiseds the cables laid
Across the Atlantic Oceaa!
Lond ring the bells, for, flashing through
Six hundred leagues Of water,
Old mother England's benzon
Salutes her eldest daughter.
Der all the land the tidings speed,
And soon in every nation
They'll hear about the cable with
Proloundest admiEatiop,
Now long live JEMEs, and long live VIC.
And long live gallant CyRus;
And may his courage, faith, and zeal
With emulation fire us;
And may We honor eyermore
The manly, bold, aud stable,
And tell our sons. to make them brave,
How Cyrus laid the cable.

9 We taxi the following extract from the
report of the New FORK Erening Post, of
FOrney's Tarrytown Speech
Mr.. ForHey reviewed the course. Of Mr.
buchanan, who was elected, he said, on the
Shibboleth Of popular sovereignty. Mr.
Buchanan had told him thousand times !:
"'rhe South wlsa vote for me, and the north
must be secured and the only way to Sc
cure the North is TO convince the people
that i will do right with the people of
Kansas
Mr.. Hickman, whom the Republicans
trusted, who had voted for the Topeka
Constitution and denounced the Kansas
Nebraska bill was asked to take the stump
and pledge Mr.. Buchanan to the principle
Of popular sovereignty. If he had carried
out the pledges Of his inaugural address,
Mr. Buchanan would have extinguished the
Republican and American parties. Whep
he nominated Mr. Walker for Governor Of
Kansas, that gentleman protested that it
would be his ruin, and refused TO accept
until he had met the cabinet face TO face,
and all but one conquered with Mr.. Walk
er's programme, and his consent was secur-
ed. When the administration departed
from those instructions, Mr. Forney waited
on Mr. Buchanan, telling him that he had
changed, and that they two were At yari-
ance' Mr.. Buchanan asked him. eff |

he meant to make his Kansas policy test.

Presidency transformed a man into god,
in his own estimation, or lunauc. No
body could approach power 70 tell The
truth. The independent man was hurried
away as rude Intruder. This presiden-
tial patronage, greater than that Of the
British King, equal to that OF the French
Emperor, made Mr.. Buchanan believe ne

Dewey in one Of his lectures on the Prob.

'The expression of the face is a beauti-
fnl distinction of humanity. We are little
aware Of the influence which it constantly
exerts over the dumb animal, on whom man
exercises his cruelty, if the horse or dog,
when suffering by blow from the violence
Of man, could turn npon him with look
of indignation or appeal, could any one
resist the power Of the mute expostuIation?
How extraordinary, too, the difference of
expression in the human face, by which the
recognition Of personal identity is secured!

establishment ot state Government justi1cs the as
scrton that Minnesota is n Satc-.nOt within the
lnon, it is true but still State. At the same time
the State constitution was adopted by the people an
election was held, in pursuance of its provisions for
Goyernor members Of the Legislature and other Of
lccls Of the Sa Ii directed. also. that the first ses-
sion Of the Legislature should meet at the City OF
st. Paul. OF the first "Wednesday Of December. 1851
Accordingly. the Legislature convened on the 2d ult
and Immediately proceeded TO perfect It's organiza-
ton. thus actually putting the Legislative depart
mcnl Of the State government in full force The or.
santzaion Of both branches Is Democratic.
The constitution contains the following clause rel
nilve IN the exercise Of the executive authority, while
Minnesota i passing from the condition Of Terrific
ry to that Of State OF the Union.
" All territorial Offices civil and military now
holding their Offices under the authority of the Uni
ted States or Of the Territory Of Minnesota shall
conlnne TO hold and exercise their respective offices
until they shall be superseded by the authority of the
State"
The Minnesota Pioneer says that this provision
wGs intended 10 secure the services Of executive Off
GERS until the State should be admitted into the
Union when the officers already elected will assume
the responsibilities of the positions for which they
have been chosen.
Three members of Congress were elected at the
same time the constitution was adopted, and we pre-
sumo that the legislature will select two United
States Senators, completing the Congressional repre-
scnfation of the now State.
Thus we see the peaceful transition Of Minnesota
