people for this most open aud d. fiant trea-

against them. and lends its power to those
who are openly plotting its own destruc-

borrowed from the people to help its own
subversion. the case is past all remedy ex-

Let Li' colo once enter the White House,
and these hstchers of treason will darken
its doors no more. Is it not a wonder in
history that two of the chief officers of
Government are openly plotting its de-
struction, and boastins of their power to
effect it, without punishment, and even
without rebuke! Such is Democracy,

5000 forged naturalization papers for the
use Of his party at the State election In

AUTUMN LEAVES.

-
Vow Ausumn's sere and withered caves,
Are falling TO the ground,
and Autumn winds are signing, with
A strangely altered sound;
No more the summer sensster's notes
Through greenwood bowers resound.
Spring epened with her ganial warmth.
Her soft and gentle showers,
Her bursting buds, expanding leaves,
And sweet and lovely flowers:
How saily sped, with ~anton haste,
Her cheerful sunny hours
ffHl44
But as the seasons, each the last
In quIck suceessi on sehase,
Soon to the sober summers toll,
Spring, gala-day, gave place:
And all day long the folds were rife
With many teemiDs race,
With blcating f5eks, and lowing herds.
Earth seemed busy place.
But Autumn, twilight OF the year,
Has brought its charm once more,
Its dreamy mist. that cuttsin.
The distInt hill hangs e'or-
Such tranquil, soul ul-entrancing power.
Earth ne'er possessed beforci
EnchsntmenI re'gns, tits an hour
To contemplation dear,
When Au umn's fading beauty Ibrings
The closing Of the year;
For sosn her last green wreatbs will fade,
Her charms will disappear.
Beneath the cold and snowy shroud,
or Winter, bleak and drear
Behold o man, an emblem here
or what thy life should be,
Its short bat ever changing course
In panorama see,
A picture drawn by Heavens own hand,
A guide and chart for thee
If thy Spring the flowers have bioomed,
IL Virtue. Love and Truth
Have lent their fragrance and their charms,
To beautify thy youth;
II manhood's Summer thou hast spent,
And sought toll TO shun.
Canst show a record of the past,
or duties rightly done;
IT thou hast well improved its hours
ofsunshne and of song,
Hast well contended for the right,
Hast ever Stunned the wrong.
II Autumn with the ripencd fruit
OF Faith andaope sboun
Ifjoy and peace within the heart,
At lile's decline are found,
II patience with her sacred charm
A we'll spent life has crowned,
Then may'st thoa greet, with cheerful smile,
It's fast approaching close,
And welcome with a thankful heart,
The winter of repose.
And, as into its mothers arms,
The infant sinks to rest,
And all its cares and sriefs forget
Upon her loving breast, f
So may'st thon turn from earth aside
Give back to God thy breath,
And till happier morrow dawns,
Yield TO the embrace of Death.
