Here’s to the mem'ry of the Pas'.—
Oik old Hellenic sires, ‘
Whose ashes of two thousand years
Waked in their wonted firesf
On Bunker’s Hill old Gn ciar. ghosts
Saw Marathon revived ;
And thoasih >ur Warren sought toe shades,
George Washington s;ill lived !
Our hearts still vibrate to their names—
Those glorious men ot vot e
The record of whose deeds shall stand
Till time rhalibe no more i
Here’s to our good old WA'IIINOTOfV —
The Greatest and the Best—
Whose mem’ry hath a magic spell—
Whose name is Honops crest!
Joan Adams, too. the votive wre.-uh,
To him we’ll freely twine, i
Who through the vista ol long years,
Saw’ Freedom’s” bonfi e ” shine ‘.
Brs Franklin’s memory we’el pledge—
The stern, unfailing s- er. — ,
Who knew no friend in duty’s hour,
In perils pa'h no tear !

Those stem, unyielding men,
The like of whom none saw before, |

’ But why the Past > the Present bring*,

Back to the heaits ot freemen all, >
The Cause—the Man—the Hour *
Now l>e our votive ohe rings placed

Since TAYLOR’S name revive? in 3
The hopes of” Anld Lang Syne ”
“The Cincinattusof the West”—
We’ll pledge him one and all,
Who left his plough mid-furrow, when
He heard his Chantry's call !
We’ll pledge him. —for we know him well,
And every yeoman knows—
An enemy to none is he.
Site to his Country's joes !
We’ll pledge him. and will bring him, too
Forth from his peers n* aland
The hwhes’ yet. the forest man
In all our happy land !

Trave 51 iu s—<Si i cnees.
This is the season of travel. Multitudes are in
motion. Some perhaps travel under the inti ’ence o
a kind of sympathy with goers lorth, not feeling as it
they could contentedly stay at home, when so many ol
their neighbors are gone. They have gone to the
Springs to think health and vigor from the bosom ol the
tnrth • ihfu luvf i>f•-
ous breeze, to bathe in its mighty waters,to g.-.zr on the
sublimity ol the stonn ; to the woodland retreats, where
the native wailders make , such sweet mar-ic 4or the
willingear ; to the capes, that jut their salient forms
far out into the” deep .deep sea to the lonely ■segues- ‘
te. I valley, where the home ol childhood never fa if !
to kindle emotions of gladness in the btSchi weaned ;
w.ui the city suile ; even to loicign lands whore anew ‘
study, that of contrasts, arises. Thus oh the wings o!
the wind and stream, the travellers are ‘lying in every j
direction.
Some there are, who can be happy only when away (
from home. (hirers repsrd their homes aS the sine qua \
non of happiness. But all meet daily with new varieties}
of life it's they pursue their peregrinatibiis. One:;, too, I
inconvenh-nces arise which are fitted to discompose the !
mind. Now, we maintain that the spirit'of a, true and i
sound philosophy wdl enable us to meet and overcome |
these difficulties in an effectual manner.
Only let the golden rule be apptied : Wham over ye !
wouid, &r., and all inconveniences disappear. We!
must haye forethought. We must-say, i cannot be j
offended.” On the principle a opted by that reany ur- i
bane, though awkward lumi, the iamamed John Quincy
Adams, we must leei that we cannot be insulted, that
no gentleman will do it, and no other can —wh te none j
shall su: pass us in a ntlU; k.au and attaniiveucuons to ►

Attempted Murder ot Mr. Stephens.

Mr. t'h’pijens had heard that Cone had denounced
bun as a Tiy/ifor, ia consequence of his vote on the
Territorial 8.11, and meeting with the Judge during the
last Week in Putnam coumy, demamleff jf the repor t
were true, adding,perhaps,if it weie, fie inteirded to
slap his gone’s) Cone denied that he had said
so,and other words passed between the par.ties,but not
of an an,iy chnractvr. Third parties who fieard the
words ot’ Mr. Stephens, bail repeated tiiein to die pre
judice ot Mr. Cone, and he acau dmgly addressed a
Note to Mr. Stephens,of the -contents ol which, we
are not apprised. Wtien the Cars air.ved at Atlanta on
Sunday, Air. S. was detained to attend to the transter
ot his baggage, which was the lust tobe taken from the
train. Cone, who evidently was on the lookout for him,
vv.i3 on the porch ot Yh< mpson’s -Hotei, w ith an open
knife in In* band. The Let! had rung for dinner, and
the company bad e>ered the diningroom before Mr.
Sn-phei s reached the porch. Upon his arrival, Cone,

The Biteib Uitfen.
“ It is stated that iu a Late speech in Harrisonburg 1
Virginia, Mr. F. E. iliveft undertook to prove Mr. Fill
more an abolitionist, urging that he had vdled-with !
Adams, Giddings, and other noted abolilionistk. Mr.
Istewart uubiy adv>ocmvd ihe pnuiotisnj ot PkllulOrci 1
and co.npleifiy turuej the tahlesninm Rivesbv ptoVtbg
that he (K..ve) hud voted wilii Adams, Giiklifigs, Siade,
and Filllnote, and was, therefore, according to his ov.ll
showing, hjtuself an abolitionist.”
This is equal to tlie case which occurred between
Messi9. Johnson and ‘Boomus, t Fmsyth, on fYi.lny
last. JCkinson nlledged that Fillmore Whs u;i aboli
tionist, because he laid once voted toalloW* n negro tlia
rights of citizenship in holding property, dfce. To j.-aus
replietl, that the right to liold property was nCcordi >l to
negroes even in Georgin, nnd that if there was any force
in the argument, Mr. Johnson fihnstl; was a w>m
abolitionist than Mr. PALLitoRE. for that he had voted,
during the last session, lor the Mexican Treaty, which
admitted negroes, mulattoes tnld rni.o-d breeds to all the
rights and privileges ot American citizens, and that lie
supported Mr. Cass, who wished to refer the whole
question of slavery iu the Territories, to those very
colored brethren whom he had brought into the nation

While 1 was In Congress, there was much agitation

Geu. lass Presenting Abolition Petitions.
l'be Cassites say that FMttiore is an abolitionist*
because, in the discharge ol ha duties as R. piesenta
tive m Congress, lfe has presented a petfffon for the
abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia. Hold
them to this declaration, and tlien read the iollowiug
‘rom the Raleigh Register:
1 On tlie 98th page ot the Senate Journal, 1845-6, is
the follow mg entry:
“ Mr. Cass presented the petition ofeitizens of Mich
igan, remonstrating against the admission of Texas !
into the Union, with a Constitution tolerating j
slavery.”
On page 134 is the following entry :

admitted into the Union as a Slave State, with a
Constitution which Congress has no power to alter,
amend or disturb^presenting petitions which pbo

These are facts Rout the reconl, and let those who
have made tie unjust assault and preferred the charge
of Abolitionism ugainst Mr. Fillmore, for having pre
sented a petition thirteen years ago, on the subject ot
slavery, make the most of it ! They will find that
they can gain but little in such a warfare kept up against
one who, though residing in the extreme North, yet
throughout hi* public career has been ever true to his
country and her Constitution.
