it that this party, once so formida

to such pitiable condition2 Can

OF injustice, encouraged by the De.

James Buchanan as the candidate
for the Presidency, and gave the peo.
pie the most positive assurance, that
he was the very man above all men,
capable Of settling those difficulties
and Of restoring to the country peace
and prosperity. Woll, very many
voted for Buchanan with this belief.
Many in Hancock county, cast their
suffrage for him with the fullest con-

might be relied upon. But how

Has not every taxpayer learned
by bitter experience that for the
past two years his tax has been

has this Democratic Legislature done

For the lord of her life, alas, was dead;
And though she was young. Just forty or DER.

And her pockets were heavily lined with

And bore her sad loss with so touching an air,
That all the men said-nay, some OF them

And a blush sprung upon her rosy cheek,
As she heard the door give sudden squeak
And voice spoke soft--"Oh, you adore
