POETRY.
Song of the American dilrl.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her glory j '
Hit warrior's wreath Is In our hand,
Our lips breathe out her story.
Her lofly hills and valleys green
Are smiling bright before us j
And like a rainbow sign is seen,
Her proud flag waving o'er us.
And there are smiles upon our lips,
For those who meet her foe men ;
For glory's star needs no eclipse,
When smiled upon by women.
For those that brsve the mighty deep,
And scorn the threat of danger,
We've smiles to cheer and tears to weep
For every ocean ranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her freedom,
Our prayers are for our gallant band,
Who strike where honor'll lead them.
We love the taintless air we breathe,
'Tis Freedom's endless dower
We'll twine for him a fadeless wreath,
Who scorues a tyrant's power.
They tell of France's beauties rare,
Of Italy's proud daughters,'
Of Scotland's lasses England's fair,
And nymphs of Shannon's waters ;
We need not all their boasted charms,
Though lords around them hover,
Our glory lies in Freedom's arms,
A freeman for a lover.
The Plow.
God speed the plowshare 1 tell me not '
Disgrace attends the toil
Of those who plow the dark green sod,
Or till the fruitful soil,
Why should the honest plowman shrink
From mingling in the van
Of learning and of wisdom, since -
'Tis mind that makes the man.
God speed the plowshare and the bands
That till the fruitful earth I
For titers Is in this world so wide
No gem like honest worth,
And though the hands are dark with toil,
And flushed ths manly brow,
It matters not, for God will bless
Ths labors of the plow.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Ilurp Sermon.
Mr Belu v-ed Breethrino. I am an
unlnnit hard shell Baptist preacher, of
whom you'v no doubt heern before, and 1
now apper here to expound the Scriptures
and pint out the narrow way which luatU
from a vain world to the streets of the Ju
rooaluin, and my text which I bhall choose
for the occasion is in the leds of the Bi
ble some where between the second Chron
ic ills and the last chapter of Timothy Ti
tus, and when you find it you will laid it
in these words :
"And they shall gnaw a file and flee
unto the mountains of Ilepsidam, where
the lion roreth and the waug-doodle mourn
eth for its first born." n
Now, my breethering ns I have before
told you, I am an uneducated man, and
know nothing about grammar talk aud col
tidge hightalootiu ; but I'm a plain unlarnl
preacher of the goi-pil what s been foreor
dained, and called to expound the Scrip-
ters to a dy in world, and prepar a preveise
irenera'tion for the day of wrath; for
'they shall gnaw a hie and flee unto the
mountains of Ilep-Mdam, where the lion
roreth and the wang-doodle inourneth for
its first born."
My leluv-ed breethcring, the text says
" they shall gnaw a file." It don't say
they vwy but they shuU. And now there's
niore'u one kind of file. There's the
huud-saw file, rat-tail file, single file, doub
le file aud profile ; but the kiud of file
spoken of here isn't of them kind neither,
because it s a Iigger at speech, my breeth
ering and means go in it alone, getting
ukered : for " they shall gnaw a file and
flee unto the mountains of llepsidaiii, wliar
the lion roretn anu ' the waug-doodle
moumeth for its nrst-born.
Aud now there be some here with fine
close on thar backs, brass rings, ou lhar
finders and lard on thar bar, what goes it
while they'er young ; aud thar be brothers
here what, as long as lhar constitutions
and forty cent whiskey last, coes it blind
aud thar be sisters here what, when they
get sixteen years old, cut thar tiller ropes
ana goes u wim b rusn; out i say, my
dear breetheritig, take care you don't fiud
when Gabril blows his last trump, that
you ve all went it alone and rot ukered
for " they shall cnaw a file and flee unto
the mountains oi Hepsidam, whar the li
on roareth and the wang-doodle inourneth
for its first-born."
And, my brethren, there's more dams
besides Hepsidam. Thsrs Rotterdam,
I lad Jam, Amsterdam, mildain and don't
care-a-dam the last of which, my dear
brethuring is the worst ot all, nnd returns
me of a circumstance I once knew in the
Stale of lllenoy. There was a man whnt
built hi ii a mill on the enn fork of Agur
creek, and it wns a good null and ground a
site of grain, but the man w hat built it wns n
miserable sinner, and never giv any thing
to the church ; aud, my breclliering, one
night lhar come a druudful storm of wind
and rniu nnd the fountains of the great
deep was broken up, and the waters rush
ed down and iwept ihnt man's milldmn
into kingdom come, nnd lo and behold, in
the morning when he got up he found e
wns not worth a dam. Now, my young
breetheritig, when storms of tcmpiation
overtake ye, luke care you don't full from
grace and become like that man's mill
not worth a dam ; for " they shall gnaw
a file and flee unto the mountains of Hep
si'luiii, whar the lion roureih and the wang
doodle inourneth for its first-born."
"Whar the lion ronreih and the wan
doodle inourneth for its first born." This
part of the text my breethuring, is anoth
er (igger of speech, aud it isn't lo be
taken as it eays. It doesn't menu the
howlin' wilderness, whar John the hard
shell Baptist was fed ou locusts and wild
asses, but it means, my breethermg, the
city of New Yorleans, the mother of har
lots and hard lots whar com is worth
six cents a bushel one day and iiarry red
the next; whar niggers are as thick as
black bugs in a spoiled bacon hain, and
gamblers, theives and pickpockets go
skilmg about the streets like weasel in a
barn yard whar they have cream-colored
horses, gilded carriages, tumble sal
oons with brany and sugar ia em -whnr
honest men are scarcer than hen's teeth,
and strange woman once luk in your be
loved preacher, and bamboozled him out
two huudred and twenty-seven dollars
in the twinkliu' of a sheep's tail: but she
can't do it agin, Hallelujah! for they shall
gnaw a file and 11 ee unto the mountains
of Hepsidam, whar the lion roareth and
the wang-doodle moumeth for its l.rsi
born."
My breethering I am captin of that
flat-boat you seed tied up thar, and I've
got aboard of her flour, bacon, aud oats,
and potatoes and apple, and as good Mo
nougahaly whiskey as you ever drank:
and I'm mighty apt to get a big price for
all. But what oh, my breetherinir,
would it all be wuih if I hadn't relidgiun?
Thar's nothing like relidgion my breeth
ering. It's belter nor silver, gold and
uncracks and you can no more get to
heaven without it than a jay bird can fly
without a tail. Ibank the Lord 1 in an
unedecated man, my breethering, but I've
sarched the Scripters from Dni to Bur
shebee, and found old Ziou right s ide up
and hard shell relidgin the best of rend
gins. And is not like the Methodist
what expects to git into heaven by hollor
iu helinre: nor like the Uui verbalist what
gits upon the broad gage and goes the
whole hog: nor the Lulled Breetheritig
aim takes each other by the scat of the
trowsers and tries lo lift iheir selves into
heaven nor the Calherlicks what buys thru
tickets from the preests but it may be
kened, my breethering, unto a man who
had to cross a river, and when he got
thnr the ferry boat was gone, and he jusl
rolled up his breeches and waded over
hallelujah! for "they shall gnaw n file
and flee unto the mountains of Hepsidam,
whar the lion roareth and the wane-dood
le moumeth for it's first born."
l'dks the hat, brother Flint, and let
every hard shell shell out. Amen.
For the Bellevue Gazette
The l'ress.
No part of die world's history, from the
earliest record, down to the present mo
ment, has there ever ban a period where
intelligence has shown forih with a lithe
part of the brilliancy, that it does now ;
and has done, sine the dawning of the
fifteenth century, when printing was firt
practiced. That epoch is ever to be re
membered by civilized nations, for it is to
that which they are indebted for their
civilization and their liberty. Printing
was first practiced in Italy, in the 16th
century, andtoward the close of the same
century, it was introduced iuio England
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, in
the year 1588 ; and at a still later day, ii
fcund its way across the broad briny bil
lows of the Atlantic. ' The first issue on
the American Coutuieut, was the " Boston
News Leuer," April 21th, 1704. .
But at that early day, printing was too
little practiced to efTei much good in the
intellectual world. . From that timet
henceforth, we behold the sun of liters-
tare, wending its way toward the zenith
of tho intellectual hcavets. gathering new
accessions of light as it moves along; and
now i'. eheds its golden light of intelligence
upon millions of our race. Since print
ing, that grent invention, has como to
liyhl, the car of erudition has moved for
ward with the fpeed of lightning, and
may it continuo on iu its glorious course
until the sable clouds of intellectual gloom
nre dispelled, nnd thn press sheds its light
throughout the distant parts of the earth.
It is the presa, that Holes tho career of
nations and men, and tell us of their rise,
prosperity and fall, and make their great
ness known and felt, nnd mark nn exum
plo for coming generations to follow, or lo
shun. It if the grand medium through
which our idens nro interchanged tho
grand fountain of knowledge the chief
source of greatness. It is great inochino
through which wo are mudo acquainted
with iho transactions and doings of other
nations; and brings us witliiu a whisper's
hearing of the inhiibitans of the distant
parts of tho earth. It is the press that
moves forward the scholastic, eclcsiastic
and political prosperity of society, and we
may truly say that the 1'ress is the bone,
sinue, life and uerve of every nation.
Of this fact, we can be assured, by cast
ing an observing eye to thoso Nationst
Kingdoms, Empires and Republics, where
the fellers of oppression have been sever
ed, and the press permitted to move un
molested. We behold their prosperity
going forward with impetuous speed.
The great good that is brought about by
the press, is not confined to the columns
of newspapers alone. The recording of
the writings of our great authors, is an
other channel through which a vast amount
of menial knowledge profusely flows, to
those seeking for mental worth. Were
it not for the press, how little would we
know of the celebrated Dr. Dick, whotfi
greatness is only mi do known through
this medium. His writings, which are so
many monuments of living light, are des
tined to shine with growing brilliancy;
while tho grand march of civilization
moves forward. Though death' has stop
ed his mighty pen, yet his goodness, thro'
the agency of tho pres is growing in
greatness. The far famed and widely
ipread writings of Geo. G mb, would be
as useless as hidden treasures of gold,
were it not for the press, proclaiming bis
greatness throughout the world, and ia al
most every tongue. Them are thousands
of other that might be mentioned, whose
greatness and goodness is only felt thro'
the press, When1 we come to consider
the vast amount of good, that' is brought
about by the press, and then look around
at our neighbors, and see them without a
book or a newspaper, excejd when their
neighbors give it lo them, they appear to
be insensiblo of the vast ocean of good
that humanity derives from' this source.
It is not a channel through which intellec
tual wealth flows alone ; but enriches alike
mind, soul and pocket. There is nothing
pertaining to the happiness of man, but
what it embraces. There was a lime
when only a few was within the reach of
books, and they wdtv the most wealthy ;
but that day, thank Heaven, has gone by,
and now books and newspapers aud every
source of icental improvement, are within
the teach of every industrious man. Now
I may say that those persons who are
without books, and newspapers, do not
understand their own interest, and. their
owu welfare. . , .11. W. W.

To the Public Truth Is Mighty,
and will Pre all.
Anxious to see questions of interest to
the social community exhibited in their
true colors, when presented tu the public
mind, through the medium of the press,
we the members of the " riaUwuan Bach.
elors' Union," were paired to notice an
article in the columns of the Gazelle, Mir'
porting lo have emanated from the Bach
elors of BelUvueja Convention assembled;
which, if it embodied the sentiments of
that respectable fraternity, would have a
tendeucy to detract very materially from
the respect awarded to the brotherhood by
t every community. And kuowing ihe csti-
NO. 2.
inntion, in which we, as a body, must be
held by every liberal mihdi were such
sentiments to go forth to the social world,'
uncontradicted, we feel called upon by ai
proper oppercintion of that self respect of
which we have been shown, by the whole
sale assignment mndo by tho article in
(juention, to raise our voices against every
thing calculated to misreprsent our true
position, and degrade us in tho estimation
of tho world and our own conscience
Tho common courtesy, which is but the
just tribute to tho worth and modesty of
tho fair sex, which we freely acknowleilgo
and which 1ms been so slanderously and
unjustly assailed, and tho indignation we
felt; as we witnessed the want of chivalry?
and libern'lity which characterises tho
"Defcnso" of thoso who claim to reflect
the Bcnlimcuts of our Bachelor brother
howl. Also, both tend lo incito us to ic
lion, and prompt us to the course we have
chosen lo pursue. Uo it therefore '
Resolveii, That we, the member of the
Tlatonian JJaehelors' Union, feel, pur-,
selves bound to stand ready at all limes, to
protect and foster the spirit of true moral
ity ,fnendihip,and Justice; and to denounce
all fulse ideas; which originate in iheJ
social circle, or issue through tho public
prints., , . ,r . , ,
7?wW, That the self respect, which
every high minded man, must fee), calls
upon us to condemn the course pursued
by ilia so called Bachelors' ConventlonV
and denounce, the attack made upon wo
man, in their "Dtefence," as .unworijf
and entirely1 uncalled for. ' ,
Ruolttfd, That a sense o.f gratitude W
the mother, who gave us binhj 'toi her
many kindnesses and constant care, should
ever actuate us in resenting attacks made
upon her sex, by those lost to that lofty
chivalry which should ever characterise
die true gentleman. i
Jle.iuived, That in our estimation, the
standard of woman's excellence, has ad
vanced instead . of retrograded, and, can
only account for the want of discernment,
on the' part of the Committee, who framed
that "Defense,".; by the inference, (hat
f mind must be met with mind." ; , ;; ,
Resolved. That our standard of woman's
worth, is not measured by the amount v(
crinoline,1 she wears;' but her moral, social
nd intellectual qualities; and ' that good
taste in woinan, will always lead her to
follow the prevailing fashions. -. ; ;.
Resolved. That in our estimation, the al-
tack of the so called Iiachelors'Coovention,
would lead all sensible men to infer,
that the wrong answer from Kitty, must
have stimulated 'them, in their arduous
task, of detracting from the fair fame of
woman. . , . , i , .. ,, , , ...
In reply to Chaucer, wt will only say,
that having carefully perused his article on
the Bachelors of Bellevue, , find the only
point worthy of notice, to be where he at.
tempts to fortify his positiou, by quoting
from the writings of a Jncmber of our fra
ternity, whom we highly esteem, and
whose truly honest and upright mind, waa
never guilty of entertaining, or propagat
ing a. thought, defametory to the class to
which he belonged. ( Sf. Taul says "mar
riage U honorable," from which Chaucer's
mighty mind can draw no oilier conclu
sion, than that ihe married are w-honor-able.
Now Chaucer, let us enlighten
you. "Perch yourself on the stool of re
pentance,' and read father, where he says,
" say therefore to the ynmarricj, it it good
for than if they abide ev:n as I And also
this passage, " So then he that givrth her
in marritge itoelh well, but he that givelh
her not doeth belter." ' What tbeji would
be the natural inference? Are we not
plainly left to follow our own inclinations,
in respect to the course we should pursue
in attainiiiij: happiness, the great dbject of
our being? ' ' ' 1 -
In conclusion, we would merely advise
our friends, of the Bachelor Convention, lo
cultivate a spirit of true liberality; acccor
ding to everv one. a iust anDerciation of
' . - Tf1, - ----
moral worth; nor condescend to "speak In
terms of censure,' of those of whoin'.'per
haps, they are not capable of judging cor- '
rectly. And to Chaucer, we would say,
be not to ready," to follow the phantom "of
a biased l' imagination i but diligently
search for facts, and In presenting them lo
the public, let them be clothed with an air
of Gossple truth. ' ' ' Y "
