Song of the Dying.
Disease had well nigh done its work the
flame but glimmered in the socket one moment
more, and it would bo out. The dying girl cal
led, by her waving hand , her sisiei to her, and
faintly breathed forth the wish that she would
sing- --sing Bonvj sweet, melody, that she might
leave earth with the tones of inspiring music on
the ear. "And what dear sister, would you
choose for me to sing?" 'Sing Harriet my fa
vorite I leave earth willingly," said the dying
girl. The sister well knew her choice, and she
sat down to the instrument and brought forth its
softest, sweetest tones; they wero indeed born of
heaven, never had music a holier influence than
when it breathed forth the elevated thoughts of
a dying one, dying in the beauty of her youth,
and yet willing to depart. We look on her with
sacred awe we felt we were in tho presence of a
being f another world, who was soon to know
the mystery of death. What a calm and beauti
ful expression was ou her countenance! What
a glow was on her chock, and a brilliancy in her
eye, as the notes of tho favored song rose swoot
and clear, and seemed to float around the couch
of the dying! Oil! is not that religion worth pos
sessing, that enabled her to wear a heavenly smile
at the last moment, and show that she felt the
words that were uttered, though she could not
speak them! and she died as the sister repeated
"I would not livo always away from my God
Away from yon lieavon that blissful abode."
There was much to wean thoe away, fair sis
tor of the gentle speech and tender eye! "Storm
af:er storm" did indeed "rise dark o'er thy way,"
V and heaven was fairer to thco than earth. And
when the pale conqueror comoth to boar me from
this shadowy world may thy sweet cheerfulness
be mine and some gentle one to sing mo to death's
sleep as thou wert. Sweet sisier! we part from
earth's melody, for the purer und noble harmo
nies of heaven! Tho strains that greet us as we
lingeron the shores of mortality ate not the last
for tlioir harps and voices in that homo 'that awaits
us all, and everlasting songs will he sung to the
praise of our Father and our God.
A I'i'itii-ie Scene.
The following incident, described by the edi
tor of the Picayune, occurred during llieSuita
Fe expedition in Mexco.
"We were descending a gentle slope when
suddenly a bultilo caino dashing by, closeiy pur

a lance, dressed in a tight buckskin shirt , ami
his long black hair, although partially confined by
a yellow hand about li s head, was floating t
ly in the breeze. Close by was another Indian,
and both wero in such hot- pursuit of the buffalo
that, although within twenty or thiry yards, they
did not appear to notice our Jersey wagon, not
withstanding it must have been a novelty.
"Los Indies !" said .Mr. Navarro, feeling about
in the bottom of the carnage for our rifles.
"Camanchcs!" said Fitzhera'id. rmmmellini!

unseemly gallop.
"The whole tribe !"s:iid I, as I looked out the

us.
ft is no use denying that wo wero all sudden
ly taken with a strong fit of the hurry to got at
our rifles and promre for an attack. Tho trail
of the advance was directly ahead, and the buf
falo with its pursuers were running parallel and
within a few yards of us. They, however, heal
us m iho race, and just as wo were turning a lit
tlo point of tho lull which concealed our men
from sight, the sharp report of two or three rifles
convinced us that succor was near if needed and
that all danger was over.
Tho Indians chased the hull do 0 rectly in out
encampment, whore it was shot dead by Lt. Sco'.t.
The pursuers immediately turned and fled, elu
ding a party of our men who were sent out after
them. I' rom the time we lust saw them until
tho buffalo was killed and they wero out of sight
did not occupy five minutes, hut there was acorn
mon life time of excitement in the scene.
Fascinations of this life.
Wo have come to the conclusion that there are
still things in this world worth living for, and for
tho benohi ol all grumblers, we shall hero men
tiona few of them.
It is perfectly delightful, when doing tho amia

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.
Go out beneath ihe arched heaven in night's
profound gloom and say if you can, "There is uo
God!" Pronounce that dread blasphemy and
each star will reprove you for your unbroken
darkness of intellect every voice that floats up
on the night winds will bewail your utter hope
lessness and despair. Is there no God? Who
then unrolled shut scroll, and threw upon its high
ftontis piece the legible gleamings of immortali
ty? Who fashioned this green earth with its
perpetual cooling waters, and its expanse of isl
and and ma:n? Who settled the foundation of
the mountains? Who paved tho heavens with
cloud, and attuned, amid the banners of the storms
the voice of thunders, and Unchained lightnings
that linger, and lurk, and flash iu their gloom?
Who gave the eagle safe eyrie where the tem
pest dwell and beat strongest, and to the dove a
tranquil abode amid tho forests that ever echo to
the minstrelsy of her moan? Who made thee,
oh Man, with thy perfect elegance of intellect and
form? Who made light pleasant to thee, and
tho darkness covering it, a herald to the first beau-
iful flashes of the morning? Who gave thee
hat matchless svmctry of the sinews and limb?
The irrepressible and dating passions of ambition
and love?
And yet the thunders of heaven and the wat
ers of earth are calmed! Are there no floods,
that man is not swept under it deluge? They
remain, hut the bow of reconciliation hangs out
ibove and beneath them. And it were better
than the limitless waters and the strong moun
tains were convulsed and commingled together
it were better that tho very stars were confla
grated by fire, or shrouded m eternal gloom, than
that ono soul should bo lost, while mercy
kneels and prays for it beneath the Altar of In
tercession.

OUTRAGE ONTIIE AMERICAN FLAG
AN INSULT TO THE AMERICAN NA
TIONAN AMERICAN VESSEL A
liANDONED TO THE BRITISH AR
RIVAL OF CAPT. DUMAS.
To the Journal do Commcrrio, Rio Janeiro:

seen by tho whole world. By inserting it you
will oblige, not only your humble servant, but
the American nation. Your most obedient,
P. C. DUMAS.
On the second day of June, at one o'clock in
the afternoon, the English man-of-war brig Alert
was lying to, at anchor, five miles off Cobinda,
Her boat came alongside manned by two officers,
ono hoy and four uerro sailors, (called crew
men.) The captain of the Alert, Mr. Bosau
quet, (after I told him that tho brig was the Cy
rus, ol JNcw Orleans, and visited once by him by
force," to save himself the trotiblo to vis't my
vessel twice, and at the same time asked him
who he was, and to show mo a power from
my government (o visit me.) answered, put
ting his hands on his flag "This tells me
who I am;" and said to me, "I will come
on board and vou will see." "very well.
sir; a protest shall be made for violating ihe
treaty." Tho moment ho cot on deck with
his officers and crew, he ordered his men to o-
pen my hatches, fore and aft went down him
self with his company, and came on deck after
he found that tho vessel had nothing but water
ballast, (nothing else,) then caino towards me,
and said, in a rough manner, "I want to soe
your papers." My answer was in the same
tune "Since, when a man like vou, takes the
iborly to jump on board of au American vessel,
against the captain's will, opening hatches,
searching the cabin, and all over ihe ship, with
out speaking a word to me, please tell me who
you arc? You are not in uniform; any pirate
can come to an anchor like vour brig, and send a
boat with an English flag, as you do please
show me a power to visit ine then, on the spot,
1 will show you my pipers." He said, "I have
it, but it is on board." "Well, go and get it."
"My word is good enough." I said that I was
not obliged to believe him; then again he asked
for my papers. "You shall not see them."
'Well, if vou don't show me your papers I shall
take you to be a pirate, and from this moment 1
take charge of tho brig."
My answer was "As long as that flag is hois
ted and my papers on board, I shall have com
mand of my own ship; or if you wish to take
charge of her you must send fur more force, oi
order your brig to come along side and fire into
me, until I am killed, holding the ensign hal
liards in my hands." During the conversation,
I held tho log-book in my left hand ; then, think-
ng 1 would show my papers quicker, he said to
me " The reason why you cannot show me the
papers is because you have sold your vessel I
was told so." "It is not true; if my vessel was
sold 1 would not have the American flag up; I
nor my crew would not bo on board now
Vexed to find that he could not succoed in any
way, he then said "Well. 1 will go m the cabin
and make search all over." Immediately 1 pla
ccd the American flag before tho cabin door,
which was held tight by myself, the mate and
two of my men; and I observed to him that he
could not "step into the cabin without trampling
on the United States flag." His answer was
that "it made no difference to him;" and he in
stantly rushed into the cabin, followed by hi
officer and a negro, who trampled the flag under
their teet in presence ot my crew. I hen i said
"Boys, our flag is insulted; it will cost dear
to the English nation ! " They all came on deck,
and the captain told mc to let him have my log
book. My answer was "Novel! andaslongas
avc a drop of blood in my veins no Britisl
subject would take it away from me." Then he
observed that he had "the power to obtain it by
force; " at the same time he ordered one of his
negroes to take the book from me, who obeyed
the order given him. I stepped baek, pushing
the negro, and called to mv mate and crew to
assist mo, and to arm themselves with hand
spines and Knives, and be ready to strike, in
case the British officer cave a new order. At
this tho Biitish officer turned pale, and with tho
voice ot a coward, said to me "captain, stop
your men; 1 do not wish to seo any bloodshed
or butchery ; then nothing took place. IIo wan
ted to go into tho cabin to make a second search
I observed to him that "my papers were on board
in my trunk," and showed him tho key. He
said let mo have the key, or I will take it by
force." My answer was ''Ilavo you forgotten
what look place for the log-book before? Do
you wish to begin again?" Then he said "I
will go iu the cabin and havo your trund broken
open." I gave him no answer. IIo sent his
officer and negro to net. I followed them with
my mate. They broke the trunk and took the
papers out of it. I observed to tho officer that 1
had money in my trunk, a gold watch, &c. Ho
made no answer, and we all went on deck, lie
handed the papors to his captain. I then told
him "Now, you are satisfied with your chief
d auvre, please to give nio my papers, as I wish
to sail-to-morrow." "No, sir, I will keep them
with ine, and pocket them and go off." I then
said to him "As long as my papers are taken
away from me, I shall have to leave my vessel;"
and thereupon mo and my crew abandoned her,
leaving every thine on board: trunks, instru
ments, chronometers, &-c.

Cadiz, October 30. 1814.
JAIUES G. Blll.XEV.
ANOTHER FEDERAL TRICK EXPOSED!!!
Roorback in Michigan!
Just on the eve of tho State elections in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, the cunning, but infamous fed
eral coons, got up the story a la Roorback, that
the Democrats of Saginaw county, Michigan,
had nominated James G. Birney, tho Liberty
candidate for President as a candidate for the
Michigan Legislature. This story was circula
ted on the wings of the wind, by the federal par
ty, to make tho Abolitionists believe that a coa
lition hod been formed between the Democrats
and the Abolitionists, and in coosequence there
of, to induce the Abolitionists to support Mr.
Battley in Ohio, and General Marklo in Penn-
sylvia. And no doubt but it had its effect.
03r But it now appears that the nomination of
Mr. Birney was brought about bv tho federal
whigs, who thrust themselves into the Demo
cratic primary meetings, so as to minufaclure po-
itical capital thereby. The Detroit Free Press
contains a lone publication by the Democratic
Corresponding Committee of Saginaw county,
which fully exposes this "good enough Morgan
till after the election," for which we regret we
cannot find room. In publishing the expose of
the corresponding committee, the Free Press
adds :
" In addition to the above, we are informed
hat there was a so called "Democratic" conven-
ion held at Saginaw that whigs for the mis
chievous purposes which are now unveiled, intru
ded themselves into the primary town meetings
which appointed delegates and went for those
who would go lor Birney, under pretence that he
would benefit the county in some local interest,
and that they thus secured him a quasi nomina-
lon by a majority of one vote. We learn also
that the Democrats who were put in nomination
for county officers by this mongrel convention im
mediately declined upon discovering the trick of
the wings, and because they would not run on
the same ticket with Birney, who is considered
the worst enemy of the Democratic party in that
county.
"Wo honor the Democrats of Saginaw for spur
ning such an association; for the Democratic
party can have nothing to do with abolitionism,
its candidates or its champion. The abolition-
s'.s are natural allies of ihe whigs; they acted
with them in 1840, and voted for John lyler,
Virginia slaveholder, for Vice Preiident; and we
have no doubt they will just a? readily and cor
dially support Henry Clay, a Kentucky slave
holder, now, in 1844.
" 1 o corroborate our information from Sagi
naw, that the whigs inlerlered to get Dimey
nominated as a "Democrat," for the purpose of
using it as evidence of "coalition between the
locofocos," we will state we know that letters were
immediately written oft v tut. prime movers of
the affair, TO WHIG EDITORS AT HOME
AND ABROAD, TELLING THEM TO
SPREAD THE NEWS AND CRY "CO A
LITION,"" &c. Letters to that effect were re
ceived at Cleveland written 24 hours after the
affair took place at Saginaw!!!
"Tims ends the second edition or "Roorback's
travels" in Michigan. What will the poor whig'
giesnowdow for political capital?"
What will they do? That's a foolish question
for a Democrat to ask! The coons can concoct
a new Roorback story overy day until the elec
tion, without doing the least violence to the
consciences.
Whistling to keep Courage up!
Reader, did you ever hoar of boys whistling
in passing by grave-yards, to keep up thoir cour
age? You have. Well, the condition of th
poor coons at present is just the same as the
boys! Although the Democracy are victorious.
not only in ine oiu ucmocraiic stales, but are
also carrying many Slate3 that have heretofore
gone for the federalists yet the organs of that
party are crowing over tne result, tor tho pur
porso of inspiring a few more grains of Hope
and Confidence into their deluded and deceived
readers. Tho last Republican is huzzaing for
Pennsylvania, although, in tho original, appropri
ate and stereotype language of its editor, the
whigs havo been "routed horse, foot and dra
goons," in the Keystone Stato. IIo also crow
over tho returns from Georgia, when ho knows i
his heart, that notwithstanding the State went for
Gen. Harrison in 1340, yet now the Democracy
have carried it by a majority of over 3,000, ma
king the State certain for Polk and Dallas. II
rejoices over tho returns from Maine, another
whig Stato in 1810, which is now Democrat!
by 12,000, and will give her electoral vole to
Polk and Dallas by the samo majority. He sings
a song over the result in Delaware, another coon
Stato in 1840, although tho Democrats have c
elected their Inspectors by a majority of 47
votes, and the inspectors election is always a
test of party strength iu that Slate. Ho is in
ecstacics at the result in Indiana, another hard
cider State in 1840, when he knows full well
that the Democrats have the Stato on the popu
lar vote by some 3,000, which loses her electo
ral vole to the murderer of tho lamented Cilley.
But why expose this truth-loving editor further?
Mortcsque states that in China the retailers of
false news were severely punished. 'Tis well
the Republican editor is not a citizen of Tea
Empire, or elso his back would be running per
petual streams of blood! Poor fellow! let him
go on in his work of deception it is the only
thing that keeps tho party from disbanding, and
retiring from the contest.
VOTE EARLY.
Remomber the early bird catches the worm;
Remember, also, the early ballot kills the coons'.
IHIMtEPKESENTATIOX.
Tho New York Sun, a neutral paper, says:
It is difficult in these times of political excite
ment to understand the true principles of candi
dates for high stations. We read in the partizan
papers of the day, the assurance that the Hon.
Mr. Clay is devoted to the present Tariff, and
that under no circumstances will he consent to
abandon a high protective Tariff, and that ap
pears to be the general impression every where
prevailing in this section of the country. On
reading Mr. Clay's last speech in iho Senate,
March 1842, on this highly absorbing topic, we
nd he uses the following frank and candid lan
guage:
"Let tne not be misunderstood, says Mr. Clay,
and let me entreat that I may not be misrepre
sented. Iain not advocating the revival of a
gh protective tariff. I am foi abiding by the
principles of the Compromise act. I am for do-
ug w hat no southern man of a fair and candid
mind has ever yet denied, giving to the country
revenue that may provide tor the economical
ants of the Government, and at the same time
ivo an incidental protection to our homejndus-
try."
We can conceive no greater act of injustice
and unfairness, than to attribute to a distinguish
ed candidate for office, sentiments and opinions
ireclly the reverse of those he utters in the
most public manner, on the floor of Congress.
We find from the above that Mr. Clay abandons
high protective tanll, and goes in tavor of the
old Compromise act.
Cassius M. t I;iy on Annexation, in the
years is 37 and
Some five or six years ago, it would seem,
Cassius M. Clay did not entertain the strong re
pugnance to the annexation of Texas which he
holds now. J hen, he too would have been
glad to see it annexed." Now, he is dead a-
gainst Texas, and claims the votes of the Liber
ty party for Mr. Clay on the samo ground.
We find in several of our exchanges, a series
ot resolutions introduced into the Kentucky
Legislature by Cassius M. Clay, during its ses
sion of 1837-'38 embodying the very best of
reasons why loxas ought to be a part of the
confederacy, and why it should not be an inde
pendent and separate republic, all alone by itself.
We copy them below, as we find them, with the
remark that they havo been some weeks before
the public, and have not, that we are aware,
been doubted to be coriect extracts from the
egislative documents of Kentucky. The Ro
chester D. Advertiser refers to page 47 of the
journals ot the House ot Kepresentatives of
Kentucky, as the source ot them:
Whereas the republic of 1 exas has deelared
herself Independent of the government of Mex
ico, and is now, de facto, in possession of the
land claimed to be within her boundaries; and
whereas she has, through her accredited minis
ter plenipotentiary near the government of the
United States of America, made formal propo
sals to bo admitted into the Union of these
Slates,

Therefore, be it resolved by the General
Assembly of the commonwealth of Kentucky, that
we look upon our Anglo-haxon brethren of 1 e.v
s with feelings of profound interest and sympa
thy.
2. Resolved, That we avow the right of two
or more independent nations to unite themselves
under one goverment for their natural protection
and happiness, and that union is in accordance
with-the laws of nature and nations.
3. Resolved, That Texas being in possession
of the territory claimed by her, and in a slate of
quietude, and under an organized government,
s, and of right ought to be, an indepeudsnt na
tion.
4. Resolved, That the power to receive "new
states" into this Union is expressly by the con
slilution of the United Stales, and ia accordance
with the practice of our government.
o. liesolved, I hat tho admission ot "new
States" into our Union has realized tho anticipa
lions of the most sanguine, and added increased
strength and value to our federal tovcrnncnt.
0. Resolved, That a confederated representa
tive gotcrnwent, like that of the United Slates, is
suitable to an indefinite space ana population
and that experience warrants us in the assertion
that a whole continent is not too large for its use
ful action.
7. Resolved, lhat the admission ot lexas
nto this Union, ia expedient and desirable, there

soiling the chances ot war giving us wealth
and population at home, and elevating us among

8. Resolved, That wo are vitally attached to
the Union of these States, and look with prid
to their legitimate extension, "north" or "south,'
and lhat we deem their dissolution tho greatest
possible political calamity.
9. Resolved, That we are not unconscious of
tho difficillies touching this great question at
homo and abroad; that we would sacrifice much
for amity at home, but stand upon the frm ground
of natural 5f national rights, vu defy dicta

10. Resolved, That a copy of the above res

Representatives and Senators in Congress, an

This, then, was tho position of this famous e-
mancipationist, and Anti-Texas whig advocate of
Mr. Clay, before parlies divided ou this great
national question, und before Mr. Clay came out
on both sides of it. It is a curious and inter
esting problem, which we leave others to solve,
how this change ol views was brought about,
and why it is that C. M. Clay supports his great
relative on grounds the very opposite of those he
assumed in '37-8, and ihe opposite of the bat
tel's latest avowal "glad to see it." Alb. Arg.

of these vessels, probably the pioneers of a new

POST THE BOOKS.
It may be cheering to the Democracy to exam
ine ttie account with ine vtiugs occasionally.
he Whigs have published so many ridiculous
and false estimates of the electoral vote, that an
occasional posting of the account with them be
comes necessary. The elections in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Georgia have just termi
nated. All of these States, except Pennsylva-
ia, were claimed, with much confidence, by the
Whigs for Mr. Clay. The result of the elections
just held shows, at least, that Georgia must be
transferred from Clay to Polk. There is now
no more doubt of Georgia than there is of New
Hampshire. In Ohio the result is so close, that
no candid man of either party can claim it con
fidently. But the condition of the Whigs and
Natives in Philadelphia will induce, we believe,
every naturalized citizen of Ohio to vote tho De
mocratic ticket. In that case the State of Ohio
11 cast her vote for Polk and Dallas.
We give the following estimate, from which
our readers may judge of the probable result:

It is admitted by Mr. Clay himself, that his
success is problematical in Kentucky. A change
rless than two thousand votes from Whiggery
to Democracy, would defeat Mr. Clay in his own
State. The friends of Henry Clay in Kentucky,
are carefully watching the movements of his ne-
ihew, Casius M. Clay, in his attempt to win over
the Abolitionists. Our friends in Kentucky
ave strong hopes ef the State; and we believe
they are well founded: yet, as the Whigs are san
guine of success there, we have considered the
State as probable for Clay.
Indiana we have classed as probable for Polk;
but we will say to our readers lhat our friends
n that State have no doubt of the result: thoy
say it will go for Polk by thousands.
We have no doubt or the election ot Polk by
large majority, both of the popular and electo-
al vote. We are satisfied of another fact, and
we think the popular vote ot each stato wilt
how it. That is, in all the States in which the
ssue on all the great questions, the Bank, Tar-
n, and Annexation, have been fairly made the
Democratic party will make a large gain; and
we will only loose in those states in which the
issue has been fairly understood or misrepresent

Henry Clay, a moral and political trai
tor. Henry Clay commenced life a Democrat,
he turned traitor to the Democratic party. '
lie turned Wing, and then became a traitor
to the Whig party; for on the authority of Daniel
Webster in 183d, he abandoned tho principles
of Protection.
He is a traitor to his private friends. Gener
al Harrison said solemnly, that he had loaded
him with benefits and been repaid with the black
est ingratitude.
He is a traitor to the laws of God, and man,
for he has always been a duellist, and has re
peatedly shown a willingness to shed the blood
of a fellow-creature on the field of honor.
He is a traitor to the decencies of public and
paivate life. He profanely cursed the Speaker;
of the House of Representatives on the floor of
Congress. Ihe unblushing confessor of all
these treasons, shall the TRAITOR be raised to
the highest office in tho gift of the nation?

mcnt in this community, in regard to Millerism,
is much greater than we had supposed much
greater than one who has not visited the "Big
Tent" conld imagine. The scene presentod
there on Sunday night, was certainly a very re
markable one. The immense tent was filled
with thousands of persons, every seat and spot of
ground being occupied, and still thousands had to
go away unable even to get inside. The church-.
es throughout tho city were almost entirely ae
serted, so eager were all to hear the doctrines'
held by Miller and his followers expounded. " A-'
moiig the vast assembly in the great tent, wo no
ticed people of every profession, and every class
of society. Tho high, the low, the rich, the
poor, the aristocrat, tho democrat, preachers,
sainls and sinners, men, women, children and
"niggers" all crowded and jammed togelhor, and'
almost suffocated with the dust, heat and smoke.;
After the sermon had beon preached, and it was
a very reasonable, sensible sermon, which none
could object to; came a scene which beggars de
scription. To bo realized, it would have to
seen. The mourners or converts, of whoim there
wero a very largo number, threw themselves in
dust and dirt around the pulpit, and for nearly '
an hour, men and women were praying, singing,
shouting, groaning and weeping bitterly. The'
negroes, appeared to bo very generally alarmed,!
and hundieds of them ero crying and making
the most hideous noises. The preachers did no
set any certain time for the destruction of tht
world, but stated that they were expecting-it
hourly, and would watch and pray until it did
come. , -1 ";!;.
