the wall above them are brace of revol-

1t is just before noon. The reverend
Captain is not man of large stature. He
s of about medium height, aud not very
strongly made. He is quick in his move
ments, and capable of enduring much
hardship. He possesses strongly ner-
vous temperament; keen black eyes, and
a very fine set of teeth which, when he
laughs, exhibit themselves to very good
advantage. He is spare man. and at
present little pale. He is easy and affa-
bic in his address ; has passable educa-
ton, and is fluent speaker. He is a
man of "mild demeanor, but of savage
mood"
A gentleman approaches the cabin
rides to the door-dismounts from his
pony and enters. The Captain and the
guest salute each other.

BY RoRfE MORE.
I'm sore oppressed on every hand
By fortunes cold and stern demand,
That plants us on life's shifting sand,
To whistle oWre the lave OF,
Fond friends will fade like snow in June,
Or dow that bathes the flowers at noon,
And thus they send US all too soon
To whistle oWrs the lave OF.
But while there's dew to paint the lip,
And sparkling goblets bright to sip,
Deep in the cup Of joy well dip,
And whistle owre the laVe OF.
Then rave 20 tempests in dispair,
And hungry ruin make your lair.
AnG to it in defeat repare.
To whistle owre the lave OF.
For, since the past is black as night.
And future bodies no better 6ght,
Well make the present dOubly bright.
And whistle owre the lave OF.

President Polk's Views

On Territorial Popular Sovereignty are
very plainly Expressed in the following ex-
tract from his last annual message 10 Goa
gress = <% a ES M nv
HThe people of the acquired Territories,
WHEN AsskMBLEp IN CoNvEETIoN To FORM
STATE CONSTITUTIONS; will possess the sole
and exclusive power TO determine for them.
selves whether slavery shall or shall moi
exist within the limits. II Congress shall
abstain from interfering with the question,
The people OF The Territories will be left
free 10 adjust il as they may think proper
wAEN THEY APPLY FOR ADMISSION AS STATES
INTO THE UNIoN."
This was sound doctrine then (inT184s, J
and it is still and'musl ever continue sound
so long as the Constitution remains nm
changed, for il is The only doctrine on this
subject consistent with the Constitution. II
is the doctrine of the compromise measures
of Is5o;of'the Kansas Nebraska act of 1854
of The National Conversions of '52, and 'o6
of President Buchanan's Inaugural address
Silliman's letter and messages, and of the
National Democracy of The whole country
These views of President Polk are in
perfect harmony with those of Henry Clay
and his colleagues in the Senate of 1850, as
expressed in their Report on this subject, as
follows - ...,..
"The true principle which ought 10 regu.
late the Act of Congress in forming Terri
torial Government for each newly acquired
domain, is TO refrain from all legislation on
the subject of slsvery in the territory ac-
quired, so long as il retains the Territorial
form Of government, leaving il 10 the 2eo-
pie OF such territory, WHEN THEY HAVE AT.
TANNED TO SUCH A CONDITION WHICH Entities
THEM TO ADMISSION AS STATE, to decide for
themselves the question of allowance or
prohibition oil domestic slavery"
From all this, in connection with the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court, substantial
ly covering the same point, there is no
room for doubt as TO what is the true Con.
slitulional, National, and Democratic doc.
trine, in relation 10 the time When the peo.
pie OF Territory can, legally and properly,
decide the question whether the institution
of Slavery shall or shall not exist among
them. 1t may not suit higher-law and squat
Ter sovereign demagogues but it will be
maintained by all who have patriotism
enough TO stand firmly by the Constitution
in all its parts as the great sheet anchor of
our Union.
