FALSE REPORT.

The Washington States, row un-
der the control and management Of
Miles Taylor & Co., has started the
absurd story tSat Chief Justice
Taney is san earnest advocate of
the election OF Mr. Douglas. This
story is utterly false. The vener-
able Chief Justice Is not the "esrn-
est advocate of Mr.. Douglas' elec.
tion, nor even quiet supporter of
bis preteDsions. Judge Taney, with
that true dignity and proprlety which
has ever marked bis course, has
taken no active part in political af'
fairs since he has accepted his present
high position, and it would be utterly
impossible Tor him te sustain Mr..
Douglas in his direct opposition to the
recorded opinions Of the Court, and
to his individual opinions as render
ed in the Dred Scott case. We
speak admsedly, when ~e emphatic
ally contradict the assertion Of The
Douglas organ in this matter. If
Chief Justice Taney votes at the
Presidential election it will not be for
Mr., Douglas, but for that true
Democrat and upbolder of the Con-
stitu,ion, John G. Breckinrldge.-I

ANOTHER ISLANDER -.Sincs the nonli.
nation of Mr.. Breckenridge the fer
tile blains Of the theatrical democ-
racy have been employed inveniing
calumnies, wherewitb, to damage
his political reputation and diminish
his popularity. He was said to have
signed a petition 20 Gov. Wise,
asking the pardon Of John Brown.
He was reported to have engaged
Mr., Owen Lovejoy to stump Ken
tucky in his behalf. He was said
TO have been know-nothing. All
these ludicrous slarders, remarks the
WMbington Constitution, we're inven-
te - md circulated, and successfully
exposed, not to the shame, of authors,
because they have no shame, but to
the satisfaction Of the people. The
latest calumpy is that MIR. Breck-
inridge was an "eman cipationist in
Kentucky" This charge is just n.
false as that about the engagement
of Lovejoy to stump Kentucky!
The best proof of this, is the fact
that, in 1S49. he was candidate
for the Legislature Of Kentucky on a
ticket opposed to the emancipation
ist party, and actually voted against
his uncle, the Rev. r. j. Breckin'
ridge, who was an emanclpationlst'
Thus, ene after another, are these un'
scrnpulous attempts to m.srepresen'

God of the rolling year! to Thee
Our songs shall rise, whose bounty pours.
In many goodly gift, with free
And liberal hand, our autumn stores;
No frstling of our flock we slay,
No soaring clouds of incense rise,
But on thy hallowed shrine We lay
Our grateful h sarts in sacrifice.
Born on thy breath, the lap of spring
Was heaped with many blooming flower
And smiling summer joyed to bring
The sunshine and the gentle shower;
An autumn's rich luxurance now,
The ripening seed, the bursting she'll,
The golden sheaf and laden bough.
The fullness of thy bounty tell.
No menisl throns, in princely dome.
Here wait titled lords behest
B ut many fair and peaceful home,
Hath won thy peaceful dove guest;
No groves of palm our fields adorn,
Nomvrtle shades or orange bowers,
But rustling meads Of golden corn.
And fields Of grain, are ours.
Safe in thy care the landscape Ger,
Our focks and herds securely stray,
No tvrant master claims our store.
No ruthless robber rends away;
No fierce volcanoes withering shower;
No fell simoom, with poisonous breath.
Nor burning sun, with hateful power,
Awake the fiery plaques Of death.
And here sh all rise our song to Thee,
Where heightened vale and pastures lie,
Ard streams go singing wild and free,
Beneath blue and smiling sky;
Where ne'er was reared a mortal throne,
Where crowned oppreSsors never trod.
e ere al the throne OF Heaven alone,
Shall man in reverence bow to God.
