POETRY.
The Contented Man,

The COntented Man.
"Was trag Ich viel mach geld and guts"
Why need l strive and sigh for wealth.
1t is enough for me,
That Heaven hath sent me strength and health
A spirit glad and free:
Grateful these blessings to receive,
sing my hymn at morn and eve.
On some, what foods of riches flow!
House, herds, and gold have they;
Yet lifes best joys they never know,
But fret their hours away.
The more they have, they seek increase;
Complaints and cravings never cease.
A vale of tears this world they CALL
To me it seems so fair;
1t countless pleasures hath for all,
And none denied share.
The little birds on new-fedged wing,
And insects, revel in the spring.
For love of us, hills, woods, and plains,
In beauteeus hues are clad;
And birds sing far and near, sweet strains,
Caught up by echoes glad.
"Rise," sings the lark, "your task to ply"
The nightingale sings "lullaby."
And when the golden sun goes forth,
And all like gold appears,
When bloom o'erspreads the glowing earth,
And fields have ripening ears,
think these glories that see,
Ny kind CREATOR made for me.
Then loud thank the LORD above,
And say in joyful mood,
His love, indeed, is Fathers love,
He wills to all men good.
Then let me ever grateful live,
Enjoying all He deigns to give.

they teach that, after all the heart of the ma
ton may be sound, and that it only needs to be
convinced of its peril that it may, by one mighty

Concerning the political relations of slavery
under the Federal Constitution, and the rights
and duties of the slave States in the Union, il is
perfectly mmaterial whether the institution of
negro slavery, as it exists in this country, is
good or bad; and all Congressional discussions
of that point is as irrelevant as it is ordinarily
empty. We live under written Constitution,
and have, for more than seventy years, been ex
pounding it, commenting on it, and applying it
constantly to the business of life. There may
be topics, and they not unmportant, upon which
one generation has differed from another, one
party from another, one class of statesmen,
Judges, and lawyers from another, as to the true
sense of the Constitution, and the true weight
to which interpretations of it are entitled,
whether those interpretations are made by one
or the other Department of the Government
No doubt, of late years, the tendency of opinion
has been to attribute far more sacredness to ju-
dical interpretations than the founders of the
Rerublic allowed; and therefore we witness
such fierce debates as the true sense of the
bred Scott decision. With all possible venera-
ton tor the Federal Constitution, We are not to
forget that it was made for us, not we for it;
and. with all loyalty both towards the National
and our State Governments, let Us remember
that the highest of all loyalty is to society itself,
which is above every form it can possibly put on.
