NORTH SrRlNGFiELp.-.Jessc Stedman,
Esq, venerable gentleman Of Springfield
gave number of pretty good toasts al the
celebration at North Springfield, on the
Fourth which we give below:
The Constitution Of Tie United .Sates--
Founded by the wisest OF men upon the
purcst of principles; perverted by wicked
rulers and unjust judges-A May they reap
their reward in the execrations of their
country while they live, and leave it unla-
mented.
Squatter Socereiynty--A coup de main,
devised by Saians emmisaries % introduce /
Slavery into the Territories through the
back kitchen door ; but finding adj their
schemes, like the Devils bars. 100 short at
both ends, they locked the door and threw
the key away through fear that liberty, de-
MED admittance at the front door, might
enter by that opened by themselves.
Slavery and Polygamy Both claim
Abraham to be their father: The govern
ment admits the claim of the former but
demurs to that of the latter, seizes the rifle,
puts the former UP and the latter DOWN,
while Satan sits umpire and claims the
aohofe, may he not go amply away.
Or little sister Ransas-The orphan of
the prairies, not yet in her teens Her
Guardian, the Ahab Of America, by fraud
or by force would wed her to an Othello
from the land Of womanwhippers and era
die robbers: She vetoes the bans and pre-
fers to live an old maid. We honor her
decision.
The fair Ser.-The magic of their smiles
and charms of beauty conquer when the
sword is powerless. May that conquest
which lays empires waste and mnltiples |
widows, orphans and paupers, be substituted
for this.
Old 4Haids.-The best, though left till
the last. We are half inclined to turn
norman and take the lot
Otd Observation-Disclosures in the matri-
monial balance and found wanting. May
those incorrigible sinners feel the frosts of
Autumn and the SHOWS of Winter, and like
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, be turned out to grass till
they come to repentance.
Old Maids and Old Bachelors. May
the last in the catalogue, standing at Hy-
mems altar exclailn in the tongue of the
auctioneer Last chance; Going Goiilg!!
