OR,
??THE OLD CAMPAIGNER PR EL
Air ?The Old Cjuntry Gentleman.
Come listen, boys a tak IUl tell,
I'm sure 'twill please your taste,
Of one who love* his country well,
And oft it* name has graced,
A noble old campaigner he,
\ et never fond of strilf,
Who'll always keep our honor Iree,
Or sacrifice liii life,
Hi* name is ?? Rough an.l Realy," boys,
The old campaigner. free.
In proud Virginia he was born,
But then it was hi? luck,
To go where lolk are lond of corn,
And live in old Ken tuck;
And there, amid the wilderness,
With gallant heart and true,
To guard our frontiers from distress,
And sport the "bufl and blue,"
His name is '* Rough and Ready,' boys,
The old campaigner, free.
When fighting is the word, he's there,
But when the battle's o'er,
Hi? heart's as kind as maiden's fair,
And tender to the core.
And ne'er has focman seen the time,
When Mercy's sort appeal,
Has failed to make his soul sublime,
For human sufPring feel,
Hi? name is " Rough and Ready," boys,
The old campaigner, free.
His mind was cast in Wisdom's mould,
And never spoiled by art,
And selfishness or love of gold, '
Has never steeled his heart,
He knotea and does the thing that's right,
Unshaken by a fear,
And ne'er will draw the sword ot migh%
To dim it with a tear,
His name is " Rough and Ready," boys,
The old campaigner, free.
The " People" say they want ' Old Zacli,"
To hold the helm of State.
And when they say a thing good, lack;
Let "Politicans" wait,
And such as Marcy. Polk &. Co.,
Must sneak to whence they panic,
And learn that though they cheating know,
Frank honesty's hit game,
His name is " Rough and Ready," boys,
The old campaigner, free.
And now to " Rough and Ready," boys,
Your honest bumpers fillr
Be only true and steady, boys,
You're sure to have you will ;
The good old times we'll soon bring back,
When we were brothers all,
" Perdition seize each hireling hack,
And speedy be his fall,
With brave 'Old Zach' as President,
The old campaigner, free."

THE BOOK OF KINGS.
nir > ? ?; -
T Then rolk, the Teunessean, saith unto
Buchanan, the Pennsylvanian, Take a book
and write in it, and send it unto John Bull,
the son of Albion, even unto Victoria, the
daughter ol her father, whose brother reiznpd
aforetime in the land of Britain ; an.J write in
the book, saying, Get quickly uut ol the land
of Oregon, for it is all the inheritance of the
children of the Republic.
2. And all the men of Britain, even thanTen
who sit in the chief seats thereof, said unto
Pakenham, the son of Richard, who sat in the
high gate of Polk, the Tennesseean, say unto
Polk the King, Make a covenant with us to
divide the land of Oregon by the river thereof
which is called Columbia, and we will be
friends with thechildreu of the Republic, even
the children of Albioa with the sons of Wash
ington.
3. And Polk, the Tennesseean, said unto
Buchanan, the Pennsylvania^ Answer the
men of Britain this-wise, On this condition will
I make a covenant wiih you, that 1 may take
all the land ol Oregon even from the line ol 42
south of the riv?r thereof, to the line of CA
40, to the north of the river thereof, for our
right to the whole of Oregon is unquestiona
ble.
4. And Pakenham, the Q,ueeu's servant,
who sat in the gate of Polk, the son of Eze
kiel, said unto Buchanan, the son of James the
Federalist, Give me respite that J may send
what,you have written in a book unto the
coast of Britain unto the men of Britain who
sit in the high places thereof: and then if there
be no right of the children of Albion to the
land of Oregon northward of the river thereof,
we will give it all unto thee as thou sayest.
; 5. Then Polk, the son of Ezekiel, sent the
writing he had written unto the men of Brit
tain, by the hand of Buchanan, the Federalist,
and laid it before the Council of the Republic
in the Senate Chamber, even the Senators of
the tribes who were assembled together; anil the
Senator? sent the writings which Puik, the
Tennesseean, the King of the Republic, had
laid before them unto all the People, and the
People lifted up their voices and said, .\ay,
this shall not be.
6. And behold, Polk, the King, came out
of his chamber and said, What aileth the peo
ple that they say, Nay, this shall not be? And
the Senators iu the Council Chamber and the
Pharisees who sat in the Sanhedrim, even the
Scribes and Pharisees of the Iiou9e of Repre
sentatives told him, that the land of Oregon
had always been in dispute between the chil
dren of the two nations, and that Polk, the
King, must end the dispu'e in peace and not
in war.
7. A?i! when Polk,,the King, heard
idings, his anger wa* kindl**d gieatlv.
6. Ami lif-.iotik ail lit at he had written b*
he hand of Buchanan, his principal officer,
ind sent ii hy the hands of a messenger unit)
lie <\ tiiu il Chamber, even unto the Senators,
aving, Yf have said. Nay, this shrill not he,
Vfn as I desire ii to be ; so do ye now as ii
? hall seem good nnlo you, and lay not the
(anil al my door ;
9. Beiio!d, here is the covenant which Bo. J
i-hanan, the Federalist, my principal officer
nid ihe King's Iriend, liaih made with Paken
iam, the son of Richard, the servant of the '
duoen of the Isles, ihe tame servant who sit
teih in tny gate ; now swear one to the other
to confirm this covenant and keep it, for I will
none of it.
10. And so, on the morrow* the Senate, even
the Senators, confirmed the covenant, the trea- <
iv with John Bull, that the land of Oregon 1
should be divided imo two pans hy the line ol '
the 49ih degree from the equator north
ward ; and s>, it was dune. '
11. Then said Polk, the King of the Repub
lie, to the people, C'ome, the fcenate hath con
firmed the treaty made by my principal officer
with John Bull, let us renew the covenant ol i
friendship with the children of Albion, for so ?
the Senate haih, nathhss 1 would nut. 1
12. And the people sacrificed sacrifices ol 1
t eace with the children of Albion, whereat the
people were greatly rejoiced; but P^lk, the 1
King, and ninny ot his chief inen in the Sen- 1
ate Chamber were wroth at this thing.
13. Howbeit, they spake not any more
| thereof, but held their peace. <
14. And so peace was kept with Albion.

Navy Yard, Washington,
May 14th, 1847.
To the Editor of the National Wig.
"Many compliments have been passed upon t' e
ilhuninati >n and fire works in this city. We arc
informed that it was by ihe perseverance of the stur
dy und independent mechanics of the Navy \ ard,
(ni s' of tbtMi D? m icra's) and-the Democratic As
j fOciaii??n, thai this beautiiul spectacle was at last ac
complished. .Efl'irts had been previously mads to
eikct it, but they we e abandoned as hopeless."
Washington Union, May 12.
Mr. Editor: ?We oi the Navy Yard, made
hut one effort, and that was carried through
by Whigs and Democrats, unassisted by any
Democratic Association. We went to work
jointly and did that which was right, and we
are well pleased with our entertainment. W ho
ever the informer is, 1 think it no more than
justice to him that he should be informed other
wise.
1st. The Committee of Arrangements was
composed of three sterling higs and two
Democrats.
The Committee on Collection, &.c.?three
Whisrs and two Democrats.
No sir ee?we went to work op our own hook
? the Democratic Association can't come it.
FAIR PLAY.
The Ahf Planet. The observatories of Al
toua and Washington have simultaneously re
corded that a star of the seventh or eighth
magnitude, observed by Lalande, on the lOih
of May, 1795, could no longer he found in the
Heavens at the place wheie it should be; and
inai if the path of the new planet be traced
back to the 10th of May, 1775, the planet
would have been found near to the spot where
Lalande at that date noted the star.
Many of the up country papers says the Sa
vannah Republican, have responded in the
warmest manner to the proposed nomination
of General Clinch for Governor, while some
of them have already placed his name at the
head of their columns. With Clinch and Tay
lor in the field, the VY higs ol Georgia will give
the administration a Buena Vista defeat.
Your University, (Chapel Hill) has been justly
celebrated. It has given to the Union many dislin
gu:thed c.tizens who have Oeseived ihe gfutitude
of iheir couirry. Mr. liuchinan.
It has indeed become celebrated. It has pro
ducted a Benton and a Polk?Sylla and a Cat
aline. It could not do more!
The late fire al Nashville burned 20 houses.
The loss is estimated at $30,000.
They have steamboats regularly running on
the Apponiatox between Petersburg and City
Point.
The Charleston Courier says that the dinner
given by the bar of that city to Mr. Webster
was distinguished by a regular cannonade of
wit?a irtuch more rational employment for
Repub icans, in our opinion, than the cannon
ade ol iron and lead kept up by the administra
tion upon our brother Republicans of Mexico.
Senator Bentou reached Si. Louis on the 3d
instant, on a visit to his constituents.
Railroads. They ore about to build a rail
road from Columbia, S. C., to Charlotte, N. C.
The people on the route have subscribed freely
to the undertaking.
Some Virginia Judge has declared, so says
ihe Union, that Mr. Polk's administration is
ihe hrsl the country ever had. The best for
usurpation, of ihe Constitution, for the display
of political tcuundreiwrn, and for trampling on
ihe country's interest and rights!
Tim-. '1 he taxes lor the city of Baltimore
have bi en raised Irom 91 to 123 cents on the
hundred dollars, though the assr ssable property
is 17 millions greater tiiou it was last year!
Why is a piece of coin with a hole bored through
it, iike a polislv d man devoid of principle ?
Because it parses for more than its intr'.n-ic va

No mail South of Wilmington.
<jy- We learn from the Columbu- Enquirer, that
Win. N Nelson and A. A. llunl, of that city, uie
engaged in raising a company of Volunteers, un
der the late call from the Executive.
Extension of the Road.?The enterprising
chief engineer of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, has extended the distance of the running
cars five miles this side of Oothcaloga. Its pre
sent terminus is at Rasaca, on this s de of the
High Tower river. We understand that the iron
for the completion of the road up to Dalton (Cross
Plains) has arrived in Charleston, and that the
work will be vigorously pushed forward.
More Volunteers.?A company was organiz
ed on the 5th instant in St. Clair county, under
the late requisition upon the Governor ot I Hindis,
of which G. W. Hook was elected Captain, Wm.
H. Snyder 1st Lieutenant, Enoch Luckey 2d do.,
and Wm. S. Fleming 3d do. St. Clair county has
Furnished seme of the bravest soldiers that have
;one to the field during the war.
Fim at Jacksonvilie.?The extensive steam
mill owned by Col. DuxiAr.in the neighborhood of
Jacksonville, III., was destroyed by fire last week,
[t contained at the time about two hundred barrels
,f flour and one thous nd bushels of wheat, all of
cvhich was consumed. There was insurance to the
amountvf $6000. but Col Duulap's loss will still
amount to about the same sum.
Flouring Mili s.? We understand that Mr. R
Hiwcklet, of Beileville has become the purchaser
bf the extensive mills known as Caban;;e's,in Belle
ville, Illinois. The town which we have mentioned
is the centie of a fine wheat-growing country, and
has several extensive milling establishments.
Charles Oldham, a gambler, has been arrested at
Milwaukie, Wirconsin, on a charge of murdering
J. Y. McColhum, on the 5th of April. His body was
found on the 28th ult., in the river, some distance
below the Wulkei's Point Bridge?the carotid artery
cut, and maiks of two severe blows on the head.
Money, which he was known to have in his posses
sion that evening, hud nearly al! disappeared. Old
ham was with McColhum on the evening of the
murder.
Heroic.?An act of heroic bravery in a lady was
related to us yesterday, says the St. Louis ? Rcpubli"
can of the 6th instant, which deserves to be record
ed. While sitting alone a few nights since in her
house on Ninth street, her husband being from
home, she heard some one raise the sash of a front
window; immediately hastening to another room,
she snatched up a brace of pistols, and returning,
walked without a light into the front room, in the
middle of which she met the fellow who had just
entered by the window, and demanded "what he
wanted. Receiving an evasive reply, she discharged
one of the pistols at him. He immediately turned
aud hastily retreated by the way he had entered;
but on the carpet and window were left traces of
blood, showing that the courageous lady had made a
CCj Gen. La Vega, perhaps, may tdlle down in
New Orleans, and represent Louisiana in Congress.
Why not, as well ns General Houston Texas! It
is said that La Vega intends to marry in New Or
leans?having lost his heart whil^ there last sum
mer.
The Washington Union contradicts the state
ments made of late, that orders have been sent to
Gen. Scott to halt for the present at Jalapa. The
Union also positively contradicts the rumor that
an extra session of Congress is about to be called.
?Bait. American.
The contradiction of the Washington Union is
no proof that the things contradicted are not so.
Indeed, we have observed, that its contradictions
have been invariably followed by the occurrence
of the things contradicted.
QTj- Atocha was here, says the Mexican Republi
cario, in certain times of pilfering and immorality ;
he made a rapid fortune, such U3 are made under
cover or under the auspices of certain cabinets; [San
ta Ana's] he was exiled and proscribed, In the year
1844, as nn enemy of the national representation, as
a traitor, and as an exciter of revolt. He had the
shamefacednes-. to return to Vera Cruz in February
last to propose a peac?. This is the worst that can
hap, en to Mexico ! Atocha, the immortal pimp of
the heartless h eches of limes past, c >mes as the bro
ker ot a peace which Mexico is asked to make !
Oh! God ! this is the greatest sign th it thou hast
forgotten us! Send upon us botnbs, rifles, grape
shot, and every clats of projectilea and misfortunes ;
burn us, reduce us to ashes, destroy us?these anni
hilate but do not dishonor us; but let not Atocha be
the broker of a contract of peace.

well aware of the seeming insignificance of i's first
warnings or incipiency. The individual suffering
from slight pains in his chest, back, or stomach, or
from occasional r:au?ea, dull headache, extreme ner
vou-nes?, sleeplessness, trifling prevarication of ap
petite, and other di?agreeable visitations so c mmon

not know that these symptom*, treated s > contcmp
