THE EARTH. FROM THE GERMAN. Mother earth ! Mother earth ! Countless years have past away, Still, amid the circling stars, Defying decay. Unworn, untiring, firm ami strong, Thou speedcst thy broad path along, Swiftly, as when from chaos sprung Upon thy first day. All bhunteons parent! Man and brute have” sprung ftonr thee ; Thou givest them daily food, Prodigally free; And thy weak offspring, worn with pain, Or wearied with life’s labor vain, Thou soothest in thy breast .again, Sorrow blesses thee. Towers crumble into dust r Proud empires to min bow, Time lays waste man's fragile works,- Yet changeless art thou. Mortals may fell thy forests- old,- Or dig thy mountains deep for gold, They cannot pierce thine outer mould, Thy depths none may know. Steadfast and eternal! Can any tell of thy birth ! \Vho may show thy beginning. Or doom Mother Earth f Many a race shall from thee fade, Myriads be within thee laid Before thir.e onward course be stayed, Undecaying Earth. POLITICAL, THE AWFUL DISCLOSURES OF 1841. The whole land is ringing with “awful disclosures,” but these are nothing to the developments which will be made in the year 1841, when President Harrison shall order a general inquiry. They will be “awful” indeed! At present, the power of executive influence, like the ehainofsilence spoken of by the Irish bard, keeps many things under the spell of repose; but this hushing up influence will be broken after the 4th of March next. Mr. Calhoun, before he joined the party which he had so often and so emphatically denounced, asked this pointed question: Does any man- entertain a doubt that the high officers of Government have used the deposites as Instruments of speculation in the puclic lands? Is not the- fact notorious? And whatis the effect of the sub-treasury system but to throw into the hands of the executive and- bis officers a more abundant supply of “instruments of speculation” whi, oh they may employ in building Op their own fortunes? The people, through the trea son of their Representatives, have been- de prived of the power of controling the expen diture of their own money. There is not a shadow of guaranty for the security of the national revenue. The Administration has seized it as “spoils.” When General Har rison shall commence an investigation of the abuses of the party now in power, we may look for disclosures which will shock belief, and let loose a torrent of indignation over the land. The immense losses which we have already on record from public de faulters will appear but as a drop in an ocean, when the total of waste through the “TWELVE YEARS OF MISRULE” shall COme tO be summed up.— Baltimore Patriot.

Published every Saturday, by Wilson &. Cos., 162* Nassau-street, New York, AT THREE DOLLARS PER ANNUM IN ADVANCE. Upon entering the second volume of this pioneer in the intfroduction of newspapers of its class, the publishers may be excused for congratulating themselves upon the con tinued prosperity and advancement of their periodical, from its first number to the pre sent time. Aware that competitio* is the life of business, they expected, and have met with rivals—those rivals harve, so far,’ been essential aids to the publicity and cin culation of the JONATHAN.- New rea ders have been made,where comparatively, few existed before, and the taste created for the elegant literature of tge two hemis phere, carried into all parts of the country, and accessible to all, has produced a de mand for the BROTHER JONATHAN, which it is gratifying to state is constantly on the increase. With such addition to their resources and emoluments, the publishers have aimed to give a commensurate increase to the va lue and interest of their sheet. In addition to the labors of the gentlemen whose names are announced as editors, the publishers avail themselves constantly on the in crease. For the foreign correspondence of the JONATHAN the services of Isaac C. Pray, jr., have been engaged ; and his fine literary taste will also be exercised in he selection of things rare, new, and worthy, in the European literary mart. Selections from the cream of the foreign magazines will, of course, be continued. In the progress of improvement, anew feature has been added to the BROTHER JONATHAN —the publication ot new and popular Music. Every paper will contain something in this way, new and pleasant; reference being had in the selec tion, rather to such pieces as all can sing and play, than to recherche compositions, suited only to the scientific. Anew font of music type has been purchased, and a gentleman engaged to superintend this de partment, of excellent experience and knowledge of Music. This will enable us to give Music a publicity which it never enjoyed before ; to carry the same themes for carol to the sylvan maid in the farthest backwoods, which delight the party in the city drawing-room. A simultaneous po pularity will thus be enjoyed all over the country by such compositions as are adapt ed to the public taste, and worthy of the public favor. Whatever other improvements may sug gest themselves, will be adopted ; and no pains spared to make the JONATHAN a welcome visiter to all sorts of people, whese tastes are worthy of gratification. Other periodicals may be addressed to particular opinions, or particular classes— JONA’ THAN will wander free, “ from the grave to the gay, from lively to severe ;**■ and strive, with all the aid he has ealTSfi-d, to compose the whole circle. To give, in a word, a Cyclopedia, of whatever may be desirable in a literary magazine, and weekly newspaper. He appeals to the pasty for vouchers of what he can ' 1 he can, he will. Terms :—Three Dollars a year in ad vance. For Five Dollars, two copies of the paper will he sent one year, or one copy two years. In no case will the paper be sent out of the city unless paid for in ad vance. All communications and,, letters should be addressed, postage paid, to WILSON <k CO., 162 Nassau-street, New York.
