POFTRVi- -

FROM THE GOSHEN DEMOCRAT.

THE LAST WHIG SONG.Old North Bend was a jolly old soul,

And a jolly old soul was he ;

He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl,

And he called his Committee of Three.He called for a mug of apple juice,

The best there was in the larder ;

And he told bis Committee "make no excuse,

Every day it is growing harder !"

As the General sat by his own fireside

In the midst of advisers tnree ;

'I am puzzled," said he, "with my num'rous

friendsWhy can they not quiet be 1

Borne ask me one thing some ask another,

They bother me most to death ;

II I say yes and no to this, that, and 'tother,

'Twill surely take all of my breath !

If I say yes to the North, I am gone at the South,

I'm glad that the nation's no wider ;

I declare I am very much down in the mouth,

So give us a swig of that cider !

The Committee sat not a word they said,

But thev keen uo a terrible thinking ;

And thev watched the nod of the old man's head,

While the mug of hard cider was drinking!

At length they spoke "We've concluded, sir,

That vou answer no more of these letters ;

'Tu strange how the People, poor, ignorant souls,- o ... -

Will constantly pester their belters,You can hand them all over to us, North Bend,

We'll be General for you awhile,But we'll give you advice the advice of a friend,

Drink cider drink hard, or you'll spile !' "

The General nodded, as wont to do,

To this lordly Committee of Three,And ever since then the old man is micm,

For a still small voice is he ! iGo down to North Bend the old hero you'll find.

As jolly a coon as can be,

But question him notor he'll send you away

To ask his Committee of Three !

FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD.

The new comers. A lady in this countynrsftnted her husband with twin boys a few

days since; they were baptized Harrison andTylet, and are familiarly called Tip and Ty.Cincinnati Gaz.

That's nothing. There is a man down eastthat's got a slut that he calls Whiggery sjie

has one black pup that he call3 Abolition onepied one that he calls Tory and another, thathe calls Federalism; he keeps them all in a logcabin, and calls the whole 4 A comprehensiveview of the Opposition."

FROM THE PLOCGH BOV.

Prospects in Harrison County. Ne-

ver before, since my enlrence upon this politicalarena, have I witnessed such a sweeping re-actio-

as has taken place in this county within thelast two months ! Old grey-heade- d Democratsare rapidly taking the field th young" are buck-

ling on their armor, and the honest, intelligentand influential whig3 are leaving the

party, (like honest sailors froma Pirateship the Captain of which had deceived themby hoisting an American flag!)as soon as theysee the black flig of federalism, fairly unfurled !

Already the Democratic cry is onward P Thespirit of 76 has aroused the whole of the Peo-

ple ; and on the coming FOURTH OF JULYmay be seen the reaLlog cabin boys ; who willknow a " cannon from a dinner," and a logcabin from a splendid mantion the bone andisinew of the country; rallying around the

HICKORY POLE! They willpour out from among the hills of Harrison coun-

ty, like swarming bees in May-da- y; and striketerror into the ranks of federal whiggery !

Already do the knees of the Aristocracy ofCadiz begin to tremble, and knock one againstthe other; and while the log cabin will be torndown for fire-woo- d or stand as a monument ofTom (Bingham) foolery their Ague fits willnot cease, until they have taken a trip up SailRiver.

DEMOCRACYBY REV. W. S. BALCH.

The system of democratic government is mostbeautiful in its structure and benevolent in itsoperations. It is a transcript of the governmentof God. Xt h supported by the profoundestresearches of philosophy, by the sublimest teach-ings of religion, the purest piety, the deepestvirtue, the firmest faith, the brightest hope, themost extensive charity. It gives to each theritrht of all. Each man is estimated a unit, thesum of which makes up the whole. It confersno title, it bestows no immunities. It makeseach accountable for the whole, and pledges theprotection of the whole for the good of eachThe man that is born in insignificance, and bredin a corner, may by a continuance in. well doingTise to ihe centre of glory and honor, Merit isits only avenue to success. And the sons anddaughters of the rich, by the neglect of virtueand by indulgence in vice, will sink into meritedinsignificance. The man in oflice may beremoved without a revolution, while vacant seatsare onen to the emulation of all.

"I can conceive no form of government soperfectly compatible with the sublime principlesoi Christianity, or so airectiy caicuiaiea io promote the happiness of all mankind, as a democracy.. It needs only to be understood in theory,and adopted in practice, by a people qualified totest its qualities, to secure the admirations andsupport of every philanthropist throughout the

ebrated and eloquent Methodist Divine, hascomp out in

Federal Whig contempt for the mechanicsand working men.

The contempt and derision in which these meri-

torious classes are held by the purse-prou- d Aristocracy, were truly exhibited by their great leader,Nirni.i9 Hinni.R. when addressing the Federaldandies at Princeton. He there breathed the trueFederal feeling in the following passage which we

extract from his address. Hear him fellow-citize- ns :

"From vour own rreat elevation, watch calmlythis SERVILE ROUTE (the people) as its tri-nmf- ths

sween before vou. The avenging hour willat Inst rnme. It cannot be that our free nation willInner endure the VULGAR TXOMINION OFra rnr?A KCF and PR OFTAGA C Y. You willlive to see the laws These BAN-DITTI (the people) will be scourged back to theircaverns; the penitentiary will reclaim its fugitivesin oflice, and the only remembrance wntcn nisiorywill preserve of them, is the energy with whichvou resisted and defeated them."

Such is Federalism or modern Whiggery. Freemen of the U. States ye who are thus denounced

will any one of you vote for the NICK BIDDLEHARRISON PARTY ? for men who hold you

in utter contempt, and who approve of all that Nickr.irldle has said concerning vou? You have already determined that you will not. Missouri paper:
