“PASSING A WAY V 9
BY REV. JOHN PIER PONT.
Was it the chime of a tiny bell,
That came so sweet to my dreaming ear;
Like the silvery tone? of a fairy’s shell
That he winds on the beach, so mellow and clear,
YV hen the winds and the waves lie together asleep,
And the moon and the fairy are watching the deep,
She dispensing her silvery light,
And he, his notes as silvery quite,
While the boatman listens and ships his oar,
To catch the music that comes from the shore ?
Hark ! the notes, on nty ear that play,
Are set to words : —as they float they say,
“Passing away ! passing away !**
But no ; it was not a fairy’s shell,
Blown on the beach,so mellow and clear,
Nor was it the tongue of a silver bell,
Striking the hour, that fill’d my ear,
As I lay in iny dream ; yet was it a chime
That told of the. How of the stream of time ;
For a beautiful clock from the ceiling hung,
And a plump little giri lor a pendulum swung ;
(As you’ve sometimes seen, in a little ring
That hangs in his cage, a Canary bird swing ;)
And she held to her bosom a budding bouquet,
And, as she enjoy’d it she teemed to say,
“Passing away ! passing away !\
(), how bright were the wheels, that told
O! the lapse of time, as they moved around slow ; j
Aud the hands, as they swept o'er the dial ofgold, i
Seemed to point to the gill below,
And lo ! she had changed ;—iu a lew short hours j
Her bouquet had become a garland of flowers,
That she held in her outstretched hands, and flung
This w ay and that, as she, dancing, swung,
In the fullness of grace and womanly pride,
That told me she soon was to be a bride ;
Yet then, when expecting her happiest day,
In the same sweet voice 1 heard her say,
“Passing away ! passing away !”
While I gazed at that fair one’s check, a shade
Os thought, or care, Hole softly over,
Like that by a cloud in a summer’s day made,
Lookingdown on a field of blossoming clover.
The rose yet lay on her cheek, but its flush
Had something lost of its brilliant blu4t;
And the light iu her eye,and the light on the wheels,
That marched so calmly around above her,
YY r as a little dimm’d, —as when evening steals
Upon noon’s hot face: —Yet one couldn’t but love i
her,
For she look’d like a mother, whose first babe lay
Rock’d on her breast, as she swung all day ;
And she seem’d, in the same silver tone, to say,
“Passing away ! passing away !”
While yet I look’d what a change there came !
Her eye w as quench’d, and her cheek was wan:
Stooping and staff’d was her wither’d frame,
Yet, just as busily, swung she on ;
The garland beneath her had fallen to dust;
The wheels above her were eaten wilh rust;
The hands that over the dial swept,
Grew crooked and tarnish’d, but on they kep%
And still there caine that silver tone
From the shrivel I’d lips of the toothless crone ;
(Let me. never forget till my dying day
The lone or the burthen of her lay,)
“Passing away ! passing away !’’

Superiority of A merican Wool. —According to
the following Irom Ihe Economist, the United
Stales cun produce Ihe hest wool of anv coun
try in tiie world :
“Ry recent scientific researches on tho part of
Peter A, Drone, Esq. of Pennsylvania, it has
established lhat the i nited Mtates can outraval
the woild in wool as in cotton. Thus, Spanish
sheen yielding naturally wool 2.000 to the inch,
carried to England, degenerated to 5)00 to the
inch, and brought, to tho United States recov
ered to 2,100, or finer than tho original. The
fact being onee established that our soil and cli
mate produce finer wool than other countries,
will give to our manufacturers invariably tire
superiorly in cloths, if tiie manufacturer is allied
in his interest to the grower.”
An editor, in dunning his subscribers, says,

Milledgeville, 21st March, 1853.
Dear Sir :— As l nion Democrats, we are
called upon to choose between tho re union of
tiie Democratic party, and the re-organization
of tiie Union party. Having fully expressed my
self favorable to the first proposition, I will give
the reasons which have influenced mv own de
cision, and which 1 think should control tiie
course of every Union man who intends to iden
tify himself with the National Democratic par
ty-
The Democratic party of Georgia was disor
ganized by tiie divisions in its ranks on the Com
promise measures of 1850. That portion of the
party with which we acted regarded those
measures as conformable to the principles of
the National Democracy—violate of no consti
tutional right of the South, and an infliction of
no grevious wrong, The other wing of tho
party holding a different opinion, the party was
dissolved, and new organizations sprung up in
the place of the Democratic and Whig par
ties of tiie State. The issue was made, and
submitted to tiie people ofCeorgia, ami by them
decided, and that decision solemnly-affirmed,—
The same issue was presented to tiie Democracy
of the l nion, and when assembled at italtimore
to nominate their candidates for President and !
Vico President, the position of the -National j
Democracy upon the compromise was clearly, I
distinctly, and unequivocally announced. With
that declaration all Union men were perfectly j
satisfied—in truth itwas all that they could desire |
The Presidential canvass was coudutted upon i
it. General Pierce did not hesitate to respond I
in the most cordial terms of approval to this pa- j
triotic declaration of the National Democracy, j
He was elected by an overwhelming majority /
of tiie electoral votes, and upon entering upon j
his responsible duties, lias paid another tribute!
to tiie “wisdom and patriotism” which carried j
tiie country safely through that ‘ perilous crisis” |
which gave birth to the compromise measures,
lie has called around him a cabinet of able and |
patriotic men, who stand as a unit in his couii- j
se!s, and to whom, as I am informed, his inau- :
gural address was submitted for approval prior !
to their acceptance of seats in Ids cabinet.
Under these circumstances, ought any Union !
Democrat—indeed, any Union man, whether!
U big or Democrat—to hesitate iu giving to the
present administration his confidence and sup
port ? To proceed one step further—ought any
such man to hesitate in cordially affiliating
with the National Democratic party ? 1 think
not. Roth tiie President and the party who
elected him, have commended themselves to
our confidence and regard, hv the course of
policy which they have adogiled upon this im
portant question, aud i hold that it is not only :
our privilege ‘hut our duty to give to hath our j
cordial arid unconditional support. Should either j
prove unworthy of it, of which 1 have no fears,
it will lie time enough then to consider “of the
mode and measure of redress.’’ The question j
then presents itself—how is this support to fie ;
given most efficiently to tiie administration and ;
tiie Democratic party ? It seems to me that
there can be but one answer to Ihe inquiry, ft
is by a cordial co-operation, in tiie Democratic
party, of all who are prepared to stand upon
the platform of principles announced by the
Baltimore Convention, endorsed by the people
in the recent election, and re-affirmed by Gen.
Pierce, with the concurrence of his Cabinet, in
his Inaugural Address. Upon this basis it is
proposed to re-unitethe Democratic party. As
at Union Democrat, it meets my cordial appro
val, and shall receive my warm support. 1 iiavo
not reviewed tiie position of the other wing of
the party: On the contrary, 1 shall avoid it,
having no disposition to re-open tiie points of
division which led to our separation. My ob
ject is simply to state our own present and past
course, to siiow that in the policy now proposed
we are acting in conformity to the requiiements
of duty and principle, it is sufficient for me to
know that tiie Democratic party of tiie State can
now he re-united upon the terms which 1 have
suggested, and I shall not stop to inquire by
what route others have traveled to arrive at the
same point with myself. However much we
have differed in tiie past, we are now agreed
upon the essential points of our political faith, j
and being so agreed, wo should strive to effect a i
thorough and cordial co-operation in the sup- j
port and maintenance of our common princi- j
pies.
To this line of policy I have heard but two j
objections, which have been urged with any
earnestness; and I avail myself of tho oppor
tunity to offer a brief reply to eacii of them.
The first is that there exists a radical difference
of opinion between the two wings of the party,
on the doctrine of “secession.” 1 admit that
suclt is tiie fact, in reference to tiie individual
members, but I doubt much as to the extent of j
this difference with the great body of the party ; j
but let the fact stand admitted in its broadest j
sense, for the sake ol argument. 1 would en- j
quire of those who make this objection, if die
same tiling has not been true of tlie party for \
the last twenty years, at least? Is it not a fa
miliar fact, that, whilst tho Jackson Democrats |
held tiie doctrines laid down by that venerated
patriot in his message to Congress, and his !
proclamation to South Carolina, tiie Calhoun |
Democrats at tiie same time contended for the j
right of secession, as advocated by their distin- !
guished leaders ? The followers of each have
maintained tiie faith of their respective leaders,
and will ill all probability continue to do so.
ThU difference of opinion, however, upon an
abstract question, did not prevent the union and
co-operation of both sections, in all the essen
tial doctrines of tiie Democratic paity, upon
which there existed no diversity of opinion.
With a full knowledge of these differences,
they continued to act together in the same pai
ty, leaving the abstract question of “secession,”
to the judgment of the individual members of [
tiie party, neither making tiie affirmance) nor de- |
nial of that doctrine a test of party faith. I see j
no reason for departing from the rule there ac- j
ted upon. It will be time enough to make “se- j
cession” a cause for division, when it is sought i
to make tiie recognition of it a test of party loy- !
ally, or when there shall arise a party who j
may threaten its practical enforcement. The !
first of these contingencies is not at present pro- i
posed from any quarter, and whenever a crisis
arrive, which shall demand the latter, in the shall
judgement of the people, Ido not apprehend
that we shall stop, to discuss the abstract ques
tion, il we are agreed upon themore important
point of tiie necessity and propriety of its en
forcement. It, however, we would not he thus
agreed, as was the case in our recent contest,
there will be no more difficuky in the future
than there has been in the past, in meeting and
successfully resisting its recognition amt en
forcement. The objection, therefore, presents
to my mind no serious impediment in the way
of the re-union of the Democratic party of our
State.
Ihe only remaining objection which seems
to demand attention, is founded upon the idea,
that there exists, among southern rights
men, such deep personal hostility to Union dem
ocrats, as to preclude the probability of our re
j ceiving justice at their hands, it is urged that
I their opposition being oi a personal and inaiig-
I mint character will not cease with tiie reunion,
j hut will be continued and felt in tiie future ope
j rations of tiie party. It is a sufficient reply to
| their objection to say that it is an argument ad
dressed to our fears, and not to our judgment;
as such it shall lie discarded without further
thought; but itisaiso founded in error to our sup
posed weakness in the party, lino oilier conside
ration should cause our rights to he respected, we
may safely calculate upon tho homage always
paid to power, carrying as we do into the re
united party all the elements of strength, which
make up in the aggregate the power and influ
ence of a party. In looking, however, to tiie
re-union of the party, I do not, apprehend such
a state of tilings as this objection foreshadows,
and perhaps I shall have as much personal cause
of apprehension upon this point as any other
Union democrat.
It is true that the angry ai.d violent contests
of the last two years have embittered the feel
ings and aroused the passions of many towards
each other, who will now he thrown again into
tiie same party association ; but time and reflec
j lion will prove successful restoratives of good
| feeling where interest and policy failed to
j accomplish it. With weak minds and had
j hearts, the process will he less rapid, but in the
j end, not less certain, it will be found that
i those who indulge iu this spirit of personal hos
j tiiity are lew in numbers, and powerless in in
fiuence. Tiie good sense and good feelieg of
the great body of tiie party will invoke tiie
better spirit, and lead to wiser and purer coun
sels. The danger to the future union and har
mony of the party from that quarter, f feel as
sured is overestimated by those who regard itas
an insuperable obstacle in the way of a cordial
re-union oftiie Democratic party.
1 am opposed to die re-urbanization of the
Union party, because it is unnecessary. An im
portant crisis in our national affairs called that
party into existence. 1 participated in its
organizations and during its existence, took
an active interest in all its operations, and
can now look hack with pleasure and sat
isfaction to its successful career, it was, in
my judgment, a patriotic organization, demand
ed by a peculiar state of our political affairs,
and having faithfully discharged its office, has
passed away with the causes which led to its
formation. It lived to see the triumph of its
principles, and ceased to exist w hen its longer
Continuance was equally impracticable aud un
neeess ary.
To revive and maintain tiie Union party as a
sectional organization, would be violative of the
great principle of nationality upon which it was
founded. On the other hand, to attempt its
continuance as a national organization, is de
lusive, as it would stand isolated from all na
! tional party association. In the history oftiie
j dissolution of the Union party, we find con-
I elusive evidence that it cannot maintain a na
tional organization, it will he remembered,
that the Democratic Convention at Baltimore
had nominated candidates and adopted a plat
form entirely acceptable to the Union party ;
our own State Convention assembled and deter
mined to support the democratic nominees, and
put forward an electoral ticket for that purpose.
A large and respectable portion of the whig
wing of tiie party, who admitted that the demo
cratic nominees and platform were satisfactory,
and at tiie same time, repudiated tiie whig
nominee as unsound and unworthy of their sup
port, withdrew from the party, preferring to
throw away their votes oil a nominal candidate,
to affiliating with tiie National Democratic par
ty, notwithstanding that party had presented
them with a platform of principles, and nomi
i nees, pledged to the maintenance of their Union
doctrines. I allude to tiiis action in no spirit of
complaint, recognizing as I do, the perfect
right of those gentlemen to pursue tiie line of
policy which they adopted; piy object is sim
ply to show that the elements composing the
Union organization of Georgia, are incapa
ble of being moulded into one and tiie
! same National organization. The democratic
1 portion of the party is not onl y prepared for,
but determined upon affiliation with tiie Nation
al Democracy, whilst a large portion of the
whig wing is equally determined against such
affiliation, as is cleat ly exhibited by the course
; pursued by their respective portions iu die late
Presidential election. President Pierce and tiie
democratic party, have no stronger claims up
on whig support now, than during the canvass;
for all that has been done since the election,
lias only been in confirmation of their previous
declarations. In this view of tiie case, it is a
manifest proposition, to my mind, that the Union
party of Georgia, if re-organized, could only
maintain a fitful existence, as a State or section
al party,and would lie dissolved at the first ap
proach of a national election.
Apart from these considerations, I regard the
re-organization of the Union party as unneces
sary, for the purpose indicated : of giving its sup
port. to tiie present administration. If the whole
people of Georgia are prepared to sustain Gen.
Pierce’s administration, I can see no good rea
son why it cannot he done as efficiently under
a Democratic as a Union organization. Why
can wo not all unite in the democratic party ?
If we are all agreed upon the principles to which
Gen. Pierce and the Democratic party stand
pledged, there can he no sound objection to
our union aud co-opeialinii in die name oftiie
Democratic party, i should be luqipv, indeed,
to believe that such was tiie condition of the
public mind of our State—as it would give to
our people a respite from the angry contests of
political parlies, and enable tlftmi to appropriate
more of their time and energy to the develop
ment of our State’s almost endless resources—
but 1 must be pardoned the expression of a se
rious doubt upon this point, and shall he agree
ably disappointed, if the future should convict
me of incredulity. I entertain no doubt that a
large number ot our citizens, who have hereto
fore acted with this party, will lie perpetrated
to utter with the democratic party as tiie most
efficient mode of sustaining an administration
which they have aided in bringing into power,
and which possesses their confidence and re
gard.
All who feel willing and ready to affiliate
with tiie national democracy, can have no con
trolling objection to tiiis course, and those who
are not prepared to go to this extent, thereby
exhibit a distrust of tiie democratic party and
its chosen administration, w hich render their
and our future co-operation in the saute organi
zation, impracticable.
I have now given you, wi'h perfect candor,
my reasons for advocating tiie re-union of the
democratic party of our State, 1 believe that
it will bo effected upon terms “fair, just and
honorable,” and that it will eventuate in the suc
cess and permanent triumph oftiie national dem
ocratic principles. If tiiis important result is
accomplished, it will be a matter of small mo
ment, what may be the effect upon mere per-
sonal aspirations, whether of the one or the
other wing of the party. lam vours, *Szc.,

Ihe Father of President Pierce.
‘Hie following interesting anecdote of the
father of President Pierce, and the era of seven
ty-six is told by a correspondent of the New-
York Times, writing from Lowell, (Mass.;)
“Among the places of interest in tiiis vicinity
is the birthplace of Benjamin Pierce, the father
of tiie President. He was born in 1757, in what
was then the town of Shelmsfnrd, Imt is now
within the incorporated limits of Lowell.
‘ Not a vestige of the building iu which tiie
family lived, or in which Governor Pierce was
horn, is now to be seen : an excavation said to
have been the cellar is still visible. On the
memorable 10th of April, 1775, while young
Pierce, about 18 years of age, was ploughing
in the field, a horseman rode up to tho door of
his father’s house, and delivering a brief lues
sage, hastened on to alarm the country. it
was the news of the battle ofLexington which
tiie messenger was commissioned to proclaim ;
it was soon conveyed to young Pierce ; and to
ascertain whether tiie battle was then ranging,
he sat down by a large rock, against which lie
placed his ear and listened. lie heard, or
thought he heard, the report of fire-arms ; but
whether he did or did not, his ‘soul was in arms,’
and leaving his horse and plough in tiie field, lie
immediately set out on foot for Lexington.—
Arriving there, he found that the Britisii troops
had fallen back on Boston, and following them
up, lie proceeded to Cambridge, where lie en
listed as a private in Col. Brook’s regiment.
“He was in the midst oftiie battle at Bunker’s
Hill, sharing its dangers and its glories, and
irom that time to tiie close of the revolution, he
followed the fortunes of his regiment, fought
whenever it was called into action, aud was
invariably distinguished and commended by his
superior officers for his gallantry and good con
duct ; and when in 1704 the army was disband
ed, lie returned home with a captain’ commis
sion, and his pockets filled w ith worthless con
tinental money as a reward on hispatriotic servi-’
ces.
“The field in which young Pierce was
ploughing on the occassiou referred to is no
longer cultivated, and as tiie fence fronting the
public road has been removed, the curious fre

lie was a man ! Well do I remember the
day i waited upon him. He sat there in his arm
chair—l can see the old warrior face, with its
snow-white hair, even now. We told him of
piililie distress—the manufactures ruined, the
eagles shrouded in crape, which were worn at
tiie head of twenty-thousaudmeu into Indepen
dence Square. lie heard us all. We begged
him lo leave the deposites where they were ;to
uphold the great Bank in Philadelphia. Still he
did not say a word. At last one of our number
j more fiery than tiie rest, intimated that if tiie
Bank was crushed a rebellion might follow.—
Then the old man- I can see him yet. ‘Come,’
lie shouted in a voico of thunder, as his clench
ed right hand was raised above iiis white hairs ;
‘Come ivit.ii bayonets in your bauds instead of
petitions—surround in White House with your
legions—! am ready for you all ! By the Etern
al ! with the people at my hack whom your
gold can neither buy nor awe, I will swing von
up, round the Capitol, each rebel of you, on a !
gihliest as high as I iaman’s !’
‘When 1 think,’says the author, of that one
man standing there at Washington, battling
with all the powers of Bank and Panic combin

assailed by all that the snake of malice could
hiss ;or the fiend of falsehood howl—when I
think that one man, placing bis back against
the rock, and folding his arms for the blow,
while lie uttered his awful vow—‘By the Etern

Greece and Rome—nay, the proudest days of
Cromwell and Napoleon—cannot furnish an in -

O'Orsaifs Successor. —The Editor of the

date for the throne of tiie dandies :
Since D’Orsay died it has been a matter of
some difficulty to determine who is the Cory
phicus of fops. A candidate of imposing pre
tensions for that dignity presents himself in
“Carl Benson,” otherwise Mr. Charles Astor
Bristed, author of “Five Years in an English |
University,” aud other icsthetical compositions.

ted time enough to making Latin verses, lias

Paris is the only place for tiie prosecution of
such important researches, and accordingly he
has taken up his residence there at “Numero
20, Rue Bai lie do Jouay.” From tiiis enchant
ing picda lerre he lias lately written a long let
ter for tiie delectation of all American dandies,
which the Home Journal publishes. Hear him
on tiie subject of gloves :

Intense Excitement !—l.ola Montez Again !
The eccentric and fascinating Lola Montez is
back among us. Let the lovers of excitement
aud novelty rejoice ! In very pity for the low
state of the item market she condescended to
enter tho green room of tiie Varieties Friday
night, and while tho play was going on, pitched
into the worthy prompter, called bint strange
and somewhat Billingsgatish names, and with
feet and fingers made a wild-cat attack to which
in fury, the attack of the famous grizzly bear,
General Jackson, oil the Attakapas bull, Santa
Aima, was not a circumstance. The excite
ment in tiie ‘Theatre became immense—the play
for a time was stopped, and tho noise of the
green room heroine awakened the echoes of all
the adjacent streets. “And then and there was
hurrying to and fro,” for Lola had to be turned
out, and those who assisted in tiie performance
ot the feat confidentially assert that the natural
perluine ot her breath was highlened and etlier
ealized spirituous odors. The police then went
in search of Lola, Dut she escaped them. We
learn that a warrant has since been issued for
tiie arrest of her ladyship.

Lansiehlt, with her agent S. 11. Henning, have
been arrested ami arraigned before acting Re

The affidavit in the case was made by George
T. Rowe, prompter at the Varieties. He deposes
that on Friday night, in tiie Varieties Theatre, in
tiie first District, City of New Orleans, Parish

ning, unprovokedly a faulted and battered de
ponent against tiie peace and dignity of the

Tho Countess declared that “Lola Montez”
was not tier legal name, and that felt disinclined
to plead, save under her legal title of Countess
of Landsfeldt; tiut. as she considered herself the
aggrieved party, she would not insist her right.
She then was permitted to make a counter af
fidavit, in which she entirely reverses the charge,
as made by Mr. Rowe. Those who heard her
pass through the Alley way and Common street,
into Carondelet, after stie made her exit from
the Theatre, declare that in a certain style of
elocution, she heats all the armies that ever cele
brated themselves in Flanders.
(Ks“'Tlie following rich anecdote from the
Rome (Ga.) Courier, is said to be literally
true:
A few weeks since one of tiie mountain boys
visited Cartorsviile for the purpose of taking his
first ride on the railroad. When the cars ar
ived at that place, our horo was there impatien
tly waiting, and much excited and elated in an
ticipating his intended ride. As tho cars ap
proached, he stood gazing, with wonderful awe,
at the engine puffing, smoking. Following the
example of others, vs soon as the cars stopped,
he hurried aboard, with bis saddlebage on bis
arm* and seated himself near a window. Then
looking around at tho passengers, manifestly
much surprised, lie put iiis head out of the win
dow to see the “critter start.” While in tiiis
position, watching with intense anxiety tho
whistle sounded. Our hero, much surprised,
and evidently not a little alarmed, drew hack
liis head with a motion that might be called a
jerk, and turning to a gentleman sitting near
him, said, ‘I golly, stranger did ye hear it snort?
it beats daddy’s Jack, and he’s some.” The
hell rang the engine moved off, and away went
tiie cars at a rapid speed and before our hero
had recovered from the shock which the snort
produced, the cars were moving slowly over tiie
Etowah bridge. Discovering a change in its
gait,’ lie popped bis head out at the window
again ‘to see how it moved,’ seeing that lie was
some distance from the earth, and supposing
tiie ‘critter,’ was flying, ho swooned and fell
from his seat speechless. Several gentlemen
sitting near, c-aught hold af him raised him up,
shook him and rubbed him until he revived a
