THE ADORED AND LOvELYSTAR
OFsT. LOUIS CALLS TO OUR
FRIEND.
AN ocRosTIo.

To thee, my worthy friend, these lines send;
Humble Ills true-yet let not that offend.
o, words are too feeble to impart
My tender thoughts, the promptings of my heart ;
And though the poets art were all my own,
Still would strive in vain to make them known.
Joined with each manly grace, in thee we find,
All that can captivate the heart and mind;
Youth, honor, virtue and intellect combined.
Soon may thy friends behold thee here again;
May absence nc'er dissever friendships chain;
In all our hearts place is kept for thee;
Thy visage with our mental eyes we see,
Hoping that shortly thou wilt with us be.
o, hasten to thy friends without delay,
For my heart is dropping whilst thourt away.
Kind, cordial greetings are in store for thee;
Each hand to thee-each heart will open be;
None could a warmer welcome find
Than those from faithful hearts, and kind
Unchanged by absence, still with love they glow;
Come to st. Louis-thou wilt find it So
Keep us not wishing, hoping all in vain
Young, old and mddle-aged say "come again"
O#-sss..

Past Records.

Mr. Douglas has said that he intended to
act and vote on the great questions which
now threaten to destroy the country, with.
out any reference to his antecedents, just
as if he had never cast a vote or made a
speech on the subject. This is the senti-
ment Of patriot-ot a truly wise and sa-
gacious statesman. Why should any man,
when the Union is at stake, when all the
great interests which have grown up un-
der its fostering protection are threatened
with destruction, be particular or tenacious
in adhsring to individual views, when, by
surrendering them, the peace of the coun-
try can be preserved =? There is nothing
whatever in the question that is worthy Of
contending for at such sacrifice. If the
Republican leaders would throw overheard
their narrow prejudices, and act for the
country regardless of them, we should
have peace in thirty days,--Cn, Eng.

Thou dearest one on earth, good-byei
'Tis fortunes fell command
A foreign shore invites, and
Am waiting on the strand;
The bark that bears me from thy sic
Is rocking on the sea,
But ere try the stormy tide,
A fond adieu to thee
No other grief my parting knows
Save on my countrys score,
Whose sod love far more than fose
l leave uponits shore;
For few will grieve to see me
Or wish me DER the brine;
A health alike to friend and 70
Ny only tears are thine.
Unmoved I've met the deepesrown
On Fate opposing brow,
Or if too heavy sorrows cron,
None saw the tear but tia r.
And now, would not weefor thee,
If could Ger forget
When no one else had sigh for me,
I've seen thy eyelids we
Then fare the well andy this tear,
Believe me ere we pN
Tho farthest Of, thou sit be near
Unto thy lovers heai;
Full oft a fervor-treighd kiss
I'll toss thee DER thmain,
And 10 some brighter our than this,
I'll kneel to thee aen

TO HoACE GREELEY, Esq,
REPLY.

My Lar General You are a soldier,
and / al not yet we agree on one thing
-franhcss. | have as little time or taste
for arament as you, and will strive to
emulai your directness and brevity.
| age with you that it is well to settle
the di iurbing questions you indicate now,
and stle them finally.
] ppose then that we settle the Terri
torialpestions on the basis Of Mr. Jcffer
son sroposition reported to Congress in
Apri 17S4-within two months after the
Con deration had any territory to deal
with Mr.. Jefferson was one Of our great.
est revolutionary statcsmen--he was a
Virinian--a slave. holdcr-and especially
hopred aud con6ded in by Kentucky till
hislcath, which happened forty years af-
terard. New York was then slave State,
ye shO supported him right heartily; SO
di sixteen out of the twonty three mem
BIS present and votiNg, though nearly all
we from slave States, propose that we
NV take up Mr.. Jefferson's bill, or pro-
tted ordinance adapt and apply it to all
te Federal Territories, present and pros
,ctive, and thus settle the Territorial
destion forever. That will give solid and
sting peace to the country, SO far as the
territories can effect it.
As to all other slave questions, propose
s follows:
l. Let each State cherish or prohibit
slavery, as it shall see fit.
IL. Let each citizen like or dislike sla
very as to him shall seem good, and be at
perfect liberty TO give his reasons for the
faith that is in him.
Ill. Let every slave owner manage his
own negroes, so long as he shall retain
them in some slave State; if any run out
OF such State, let the owner be at perfect
liberty to persuade or entice him back in
to servitude, free from any impertinent in,
termeGdling. Should any third party
poke his nose into what is none Of his bu,
siness, let the master be at liberty to COW.
hide him for the intrusion. But let the
laws of every free State hold every man
free who does not choose to be slave.
". If any person goes froma free in,
to slave State aud there attempt to stil
up a rebellion, or interfere in any way be
tween masters and slaves, let him be deal
with as the law Of that slave State shall
direct.
Such seem to me the essential basis o
a settlement Of the Territorial anti slavery
questions which deem essentially fair
just and reasonable. A settlement OF
such basis would be repugnaut to no NOR
al sense, would leave no room for heart
burnings, aud would be essentially indie
structble If you will give it your sup
port, no effort of mine shall be wanting t.
ensure its success.
Yours, truly,
HORACE GREELEY.

No immediate fruit will be seen to spring
from the little trials Of strength like that
at Harper's Ferry On Wednesday; but
cyesy such encounter accustoms our men
to the use Of arms, the sound Of cannon,
the whiz Of round shot and the Kissing Of
shells gires them confidence in their own
proves, teaches them the quality Of their
enemy, and prepares them for the great
struggle which cannot now be far off The
eknmish Is the alphabet Of War; and in
some way our troops must acquire it. Such
~ encounter then as that Of which we
speak, occurring every day somewhere
along our lines, would soon convert our
raw levies into yeteransIft to take the field
against the best disciplined troops in the
