MAHASKAH'S LAMENT.


Rantchewaime lt--in the wildwood
BY the mountain-by the detlt
The voice is hushed that oft from childhood
Charmed us with its magic spell;
The eyes that once, SO mild and winning,
Hightless in their chambers sleep
The guileless soul, so free from SHINING,
Vigils round our slumbers keep.
Rantchewaime /; from the fountains,
Soft and low the brooklet sings,
And echoes from the distant mountains
Bear the music on their wings;
But they sing song of sadness
To the silent list'ning grove,
That oft would drive my soul to madness,
Only for thy cherished love.
Rantchewaime-who can cheer me
Down the weary stream of lifel
Nor foes abroad or braves that fear me
Can strange me from my wife;
By the VOWS so soft and tender,
That we plighted long ago,
Memory never can engender
Aught to heal MahaslSah's woe.
Rantchewaime remember,
When the bloom was on the world,
IRE the winds of cold December
Turned thy happy bosom cold
That my wigwam always CHEEKY,
With thy presence ever smiled,
Gave a welcome to the weary
To the simple forest child.
Rantchewaime who can love me
When my forest home is drear,
And the spirits far above me,
ALI disdain to hover near 7
Is curse upon the savageft
Is my Manitou in wrath
Is a pestilence to ravageS
Is a serpent in his path
Rantchewaime, art thou dwelling
In the happy hunting ground,
Where the songs of birds are swelling,
And eternal spring is found
Where the Wounding Arrow's"s greeting
Welcome Rantchewaime home
Where our spirits fondly meeting,
Truly love and freely roamf
Rantchewaime, who would linger
'Mong the memories long gone by,
When in dreams my fancy's finger
Meaning points to yonder SKYE
Sad my brow, my heart is wailing,
Tears like fountains freely flow,
For Mahaskah's spirit quailing,
Spurns the world and longs to go.

From the Ohio state Journal


The Cleveland Ptaindealer is what is called
Democratic organ; it is recognized as such by
the party generally. We take pleasure in cx-
tracting from its issue of October 80, 1850, the
following article, which re commend to the at
tention of the Democracy generally:

This quotation from Macbeth will apply with
as much appropriateness to the late fugitive
law, as it did in its original utterauce to that
black spot of guilt which the wicked murderer
in the play could not wash out.
The institution of slavery is an anomaly in
civilized governments, an exception to liberty
every where, and most outrageous contradic-
ton to our pretensions model republic. It
was barely sutferable in this country sixty years
ago, and unfortunately recognized in one of the
compromises of the Constitution Even then it
was denounced and would have been forever
discarded, had not the colonies been weak and
threatened with an overwhelming and anniha
! ting power of England, had they not collected
their scattered strength into one federal compact
But no Trainer of the Constitution no endorSer
| OF ats compromises ever dreamed that slavery
would exist in this country at this day. Every
act Of Congress that has tended to support or
PcEpetnatc in the least this institutions has been
In violation of the intent of the original trainers
OF that instrument.
This fugitive slave law is on of that charac.
ter, and were its operations like most other
slave laws, confined to the slave States, it might
escape repeal But this is not the case; its op.
erations are wholly in the free States, and to be
executed, if executed at all, by .treemen. The
service it requires is not the kind we owe to
I either God, man or the devil. We read in the
good book that Satan CUES about like roaring
lion, seeking whom he may devour" 1t appears
that he hunts in person, and asks no intermedi-
ate party or agent between himself and victims.
The south must do their own slave catching
under this law, constitutional or not consttu-
tionai and by the time they have taken back a
few thousand who have participated in the spir-
it of rebellioWS freedom, which this Jaw every
where awakens, and scattered them throughout
the Southern States, they will find leayen at
work in their midst worse than abolition news.
papers, and as uncomfortable as the waves of the
sea.
This was sound Democracy in I85o-why is
it not sound democracy in 1859? Can anybody
tell? We pause for n reply
