GENTLE WORDS.

That glimmer on the sea;

And hands to clasp my <
Tlie sun may warm the grass to life,
The dew the drippling flower,
And eyes grow bright-Qud watch the light
Of Autumu’s opening hour,
Bnt words that breathe of tenderness
And smiles we know are true.
Arc warmer than the summer time,
And lighter than tlie dew.
It is not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art,
And. gold and gems are not the things
To satisfy the heart;
But, oh ! if those who cluster found
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth !
THE MIDNIGHT WIND.
ully!
The midnight wind doth sigh,
Like some sweet plaintive melody
Of ages long gone by:
It speaks a tale of other years—
Of hope* that bloom to die—
Of nanny smiles that set in tears,
And loves that mouldering lie !
Mournfully! O, mournfully
This midnight wind doth moan;
It stirs some chord of memory
In each dull heavy tone :
The voices of the much loved dead
Seem floating thereupon—
All, all my fond heart cherished
Ere death made it lone.
Mournfully! O, mournfully
This midnight wind doth swell,
With its quaint pensive minstrelsy,
Hope’s passionate farewell
To the dreamy joys of early years,
Ere yet griefs canker fell
On tlie heart’s bloom—ay! well may tears

were only kept whhin bounds by their
commander’s presence. The cook, who
appeared to glory in his deed, was in
stantly seized and confined. ~ The
corpse was taken below, while the
wretched betrothed was carried in a
state of insensibility to her cabin.
Eight hells had struck the following
evening, when I received a summons to
attend on deck. I, therefore, instantly
ascended, and found tho whole of the
crew, dressed in their Sunday clothes,
together with all the officers of the ship,
and the mule passengers, assembled.—
The men off duty were lining either
side of the deck ; the captain, surround
ed by all his officers,- was standing im
mediately in front of the poop ; and the
body of the unfortunate victim lay
stretched on a grating, over which the
national (lag of Denmark had been
thrown, immediately in the centre. In
an instant I saw that 1 had been sum
moned to be presantatthe funeral of the
chief mate, and my heart beat high with
grief as 1 uncovered my head and j
stepped on the quarter-deck.
It was nearly a dead calm : we had
passed the trades, and were fast ap
proaching the Line: the sun had begun
to decline, but still burnt with a fervent
heat; the sails hung listlessly against
the musts, and the mainsail was trail
ed up, in order to allow the breeze, should
any rise, to go foward. I had observed
all the morning a more sure indication
of our approach to the torrid zone.—
Through the clear blue water I had re
marked a couple of sharks following the
vessel, accompanied by their usual com
panion—the pilot-fish. This the sailors
thus bend bis hardened spirit I was at
a loss to conjeqtn re.
Four men now approached and lifted
up the corpse. A similar number seized
the prisoner, while ten or twelve others

were captured at Buena Vista exhibited
at the same time in a remarkable man
ner his benevolence and his judgment.
“Don’t shoot them,” said he; “the
worst punishment I will inflict is to re
turn them to the Mexican army.”—
When Napoleon said to one of his' bat
talions, “ Inscribe it on their flag, * No
longer of the army of Italy,”’ he used
an expression which was deemed so re
markable that history preserved it for
the admiration of future ages, yet it was
not more forcible as nn illustration of
his power in touching the springs of hu
man action than is that of Gen. Taylor
illustrative of the manner in which he
would make an example for tho benefit
of the army.
5. He is a man of business habits. —I
never have known Gen. Taylor to give
up a day to pleasure. I have never vis
ited his quarters without seeing evidence
most of his days in the free wilds of the
West—has served his country long and
failhfully, and has enjoyed the confi
dence of Jefferson, Madison and Jack-
son in the more harmonious days of the
democracy. Such a man is now the
standard bearer of our party; and we
support him ; and this wc could do wilh
a nearly good will, independent of our
obligations to party.
“ Wc think Gen. Cass’ construction
of the Constitution is an ample “ provi
so” against the further cxienson of slave
ry. He says Congress has not the pow
er to abolish slavery where it legally
exists, nor to institute jt where it does
not. It docs not now exist iu the ter
ritories of New Mexico nnd California—
and according to (&n. Cass’ doctrine it
cannot exist there by any act of Con
gress. It follows, of course, that said

5 see if Gen. Cass’ doctrine
such a result. Slaveholders
will not emigrate there because there is
to protect slave property. Should
Congress pass such a law it would be
unconstitutional and of no binding effect.
There is no law of the .territories by
which a Southerner could hold a slave
one hour after he had become settled
there ! The present inhabitants are all
opposed lo slavery. No law would be
made by them to sanction.it, and under
sucli circumstances what can our South
erners do? They can give up slavery
and go there, which they will not do,
or they can stay away, which is tho
most probable.. They never will haz
ard their property where there is no
law to protect it.—Mark that!
When the Proviso was first sprung
upon theHousoofRcpresentatives, John
Quincy Adams arose in his place and
denounced it as unnecessary. Why?
Because” he said, “ the territory was
jw free and Congress hail no power to
make it slave." This is General Cass's
opinion. Judge McLean, of the Supreme
Court, holds the same opinion—also John
P. Hale, Joshua 11. Giddings t Editor of
the National Era, and all the Liberty pa-
pers. Congress has no more power to
make a slave than to make a king, say
they. There is no power in this coun
try to make a slave except by the sov
ereign States, and they can make a slavo
of a »/7t ife man as well as a black.—
