a. The Davenport Gazette says that Mus
catine, Burlington aud Ksokuk papers have
exaggerated the number Of hogs slaughtered
during the late packing season. We cannot
speak for Nuscatine and Keokuk, but We have
obtained our figures from the packers them
selves, and published the numbsss just as We
obtained them. And We have every reason to
believe they are accurate aud presisely correct
as to the number packed by the three slaughter
houses, which was, up to Saturday last, 3D.
2S5, . few having been killed since. And it
is but fair also to say that this does not in.
clude dressed hogs brought to town in wagons,
and does not include some $4,000 sent East over
the c. B. T. Q. Road, before the commsncs-
ment Of the packing season.
The Gazette will please not measure the
veracity and tru,hfulness Of Burlington papers
by the Davenpors standard We are not going
it upon the high pressure plan. Market reports
and quotations, to be Of value, should be ac-
curate and reliable. We labor to make ours
so and challenge any one to show anything
to the contrary.

Independence of the Press.

Mr.. FoRNEY, of the Philadelphia Press, in
discoursing upon Party Newspapers" says:
The index of an improving public taste,
and of spirit of inquring independence, on
the part of the masses, is to be found in the
rapid decadcnce OF mere party newspapers.
We have known what il is to reflect the
sentiments of merely mortal men; we have
known what it is to walk the dull and dis
NAL routine of mere organization; and we
can sympathise with those who groau and
sweat under the yoke which has been put
upon them (by party exactions.)
Mr.. Calhoun, in one of his greatest
speeches, said "opinion is power" in this hap
py country of ours; and if this was true for
ty years ago, it is forty times truer to-day
Imagine, for instance, what would become of
science in all its abstruse varieties and won
derfrl mysteries, if it were graded and clip
ped by some mere individual authority! and
where is there a grander science than that
OF human government, and particularly the
government Of free people? A newspa-
per, to be popular, must excel in every de-
partment Let it be but honest, and its
mistakes will be forgiven. Let its tone bo
elevated, and even its prejudices will be res
pected. Let its antagonisms be erect and
honest, and they will be believed in. Let
it dare to do right, and it will prove to be
most terrible opponent OF wrong. "Reu-
dering unto Caesar the things which belong
to Caesar" and giving "Lonor where honor
is due" applauding an euomy if bis acts are
worthy of appause-any Journal standing
upon this conviction cannot fail to COM
mand and hold wide and increasing in
huence.

SPRING,
ny ALFRED TEyNysoS.

Like souls that balance Joy and pain,
With tears and smiles from Heaven again,
The maiden Spring upon the plain,
Came in a sunlit fall Of rain,
In crystal vapor everywhere.
Blue isles Of Heaven laughed between,
And far in forest-deops unseen,
The topmost elm.tree gathered green
From draught Of balmy air.
Sometimes the linnet piped his song:
Sometimes the lhrostle whistled strong;
Sometimes the sparhawk wheeled along,
flushed all the groves from fear of wrong;
By grassy capos, and fuller sound,
In curves the yellow river ran,
And dropping chestnut buds began
10 spread into the perfect fan
Above the teeming ground.
Then in the boyhood Of the year,
Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere
Rode through the coveris of the deer
With Jlissfu treble ringing clear,
She seemed part of joyous Spring;
a gown ofgrass-green silk she wore,
Buckled with golden clasps before;
A light green tuft of plumes she bore
Closed in golden ring.
Now on some twisty ivy net,
Now by some tnkling riyulet,
In MOSES mixed with violet,
Her creanl.white mule his pastern set;
And fleeter now she SKINNED the plain
Than she whose ein prancer springs
By night to merry warblings,
When all the glmmering moorland rings
With jingliug bridle reins.
As she fled fast through sun and shade,
The happy winds upon her played,
Blowing the ringlets from the braid;
She looked so lovely n she swuyed
The rein with dainty finger tips,
A man had given all other bliss,
And all his worldly wealth for this,
To waste his whole he art in one kiss
Upon her perfect lips,
