A SONG.

When 1 am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad song for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree;
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dew-drops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
] shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain,
l shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Happily I may remember,
Or happily forget.

ruled by vote of three fifths Of al the
members elected to the Legislature, in.
stead Of two-thirds as generally prac-
tised. We are inclined to favor the
grant Of the power in this State as a
necessary check on improvident legisla-
tion. It can never be any thing more
than check, as the Executive can only
participate in legislation by its means
in negative way. It obliges the Gov
ernor to keep strict watch over every
law passed, and may be the means of
pointing out defects in the laws which
members sometimes overlook. Should
he make bad use Of the power, for
which there can be little indueement, il
can Only produce some delay, as tho
popular will would soon find way to
secure the law notwithstanding the veto,
In our experience VIC have found the
exercise Of the power generally benef-
eial to the interests Of the people.

a Man Hung by I, Mob la Queen
Annc'S COUNTY. MD.

We ind the following in the Easton
(Md) Gazette Of Saturday
Just as we were going to press last
evening intelligence arrived in Easton,
in very reliable manncr, that pippin,
who was tried iu the Circuit Court Of
Talbot county us being accessory in the
murder Of j. Edwin Roberts, Mt Church
Hill, last year, was hung BY fifteen men
. on Thursday night, in Queen Annc's
county 1t viii be remembered that he
was also Indicted for stealing cattle,
but was released Oh his own recogni.
zance on Thursday, (the same day he
was hung at night when he proceeded
to his fathers house, from whence he
was taken and executed.
=. S.-A young man from Centre
vile has just arrived aud confirms the
above statement. Pippin had just ar
rived from Easton, at his fathers house
at Church Hill, when about one dozen
men arrived, disguised. Pippiu, hear
ing them, secreted himself, but the par
ty struck fire to the old mans house
and he told of his whereabouts, and he
was soou swinging in the air Il is said
that on his way to Church Hill, when
near Wye Mills, he attempted to take a
mans horse from him on the road in
order that he might ride himself, and
purchased on the route a pint Of whis-
Ky and a lot of powder aud shot
AS was heretofore stated, man
named NcGinnis, who was charged with
Pippin with killing Mr.. Roberts, was
convicted Of murder in the second dc.
gree, aud sentenced to the peniteutiary
for eighteen years. He is to be brought
up to that institution to-day.

bound to mako sensation, at least
among his Abolition friends, as his
present work is now intended to helD
the other side. He maintains that one
work is consistent with the other. In
the FIRST he wanted to destroy slavery,
and in the second he wants t. abolish
the Negro. From the extracts We have
seen Of the late work, 10 is awfully Sc.
we're on the poor Negro, and on the
present Black Congress. His dcRunci-
alton of the Negro appears to be too
highly charged. He is said to be also
abusive Of the Catholics. We suppose
him to be an irrepressible fanatic, and
possibly may be honest in his views.
aud docs not change them for the mere
purpose Of making sensation aud get

his last book may be useful in uudeeeiv-

that the Negro is aud should be the

and it should also open the eyes Of the
deluded Negroes to the strong opposi.
