From the Hichmoitd Enquirer. A Rowland for an «jliver. The Texas Question lias prompted some maddened Minstrel to address a “ Rallying Cry” to New Eng land. It appears tn the 41 Boston Atlas, a paper de voted to Mr. Welwtcr—and th'.y have been attribu ted by some to the “Godlike Daniel! but with inure plausibility, by others, to Whitier whose poetic genius has been darkened by his Abolition Fanati cism. These verses, however, are much inferior to many of the emanitions of his pin. They have drawn from a young Citizen, in Richmond an indig nant reply, as follows: An Echo to the Hallying Cry, BY * VIKGINIAN. Sons of the gallant South, arise and gird your ar mar on, A rau*e of viul iuteres* u to he lost or won; « A traitor’s plot is hatching now" to rend this land mi twain, And mar into a wilderness our beautiful domain.

B. DOWB. Far southward o'er Ihe Sabine’* stream, A young republic lifts her head ; Whose single star doth proudly gleam O’er valor’s grave and glory 's bed : That star of empire took it* flight From freedom’* coronal of light Beamed o’er Jacinto's deathless plain, And watched a nation’s birth again. And there how sad, how strangely still, The Indian cjty sits alone ; No herd upon the verdant hill; No skeleton beneath the stone. Forsaken mart of ages start Life's current from thy marble heart; And I*i*l the pulse otempire beat, Through ived hail and mossy street. Beside the green and sculptured piles Whose roofs support the ancient woods, The hunter’s home in beauty smiles. And joy runs through the solitudes. And where the western Durid trod, And offered human blood to God, The gospel hell doth sweetly chitne, At Sahbath morn and even time. The fierce Cumanche seeks his home, Beyond the Rio Bravo’s wave; No more in battle p. int to roam, Around his father’s sunken grave; While the broad stream, whose bosom ne’er Knew hut the sw an and (allow deer, Whirls the swift steamboat's wheel along, And echoes to tile boatman’s song. Oh 'tis a fair and goodly land, Where restlrss spirits love to roam; Where labor spreads his rugged hand, And decks with flowers contentment’s home Where prairies vast the woods embrace, And rivers run their endless race, And wilJ winds whisper to the sea Os ages past—and yet to be. To its green breast young nation's cling, And raise the wail of infant life; While commerce spreads her ocean wing, And war’s wild bugle wakens strife. And there the freeman from a far Secs on its flag a pilgrim star; And strives the glorious hour to learn When the “Lost Pletad”shall return. There shall the wave of life roll on, As rolled the north on Europe’s shore, Till the last boundary is Won, And ocean’s voices drown its roar. O’er martyr’s grove and monarch’s tomb O’er tyrant’s throne and knighthood's plume— O’er craven hosts to slaughter fed The northern soldier's foot shall tread.

MISCELLANY. Many atid many a man and woman, threading our tenets on their way home from the toils of the day, can bear witness to the truth of the following: “ There is a pensive, melancholy feel ling, which overpowers the heart of a resident of a city, when he goes at twi light from the scenes of his business and his cares to the fireside of home. As he passes along the crowded thoroughfare, jostled hv the hundreds that meet him— ns he looks forward through the uncer tain atmosphere, to forms and dwellings dimly descried by twinkling lamps in the distance, and sees damp walls and streets receding from bis footsteps—he falls into a tram of musing. How many deeds does the night bring on! How many an unsuspected and impatient eye watches the golden sun go down into the glowing bosom of the West! How ma ny hearts beat high with suspense or dis quiet, while the wan twilight deepens in to evening, and the stars, one by one, glittering like diamonds through the in finite air, ‘set their watch in the sky !” The affianced bride waits for her lover counting the footsteps that fall upon the pavement, and taxing the discipline of her ready ear with the tesk of decision whether they l»e his or no; the church goer longs for the bell, whose voice pro claims the hallowed hour of prayer, and lingers in loud solicitude for the moment when the chapel ward step shall betaken. In unnnmhere I bosoms are kindled the emotions of praise; and they are pure and holy. Nothing can exceed the beau ty of a truly calm and chastened affec tion. It is alike lovely when bestowed on Cd or man. The relin juishment of self; the trusting dependence on the Great Power of Nature ; the fond aspira tions for better enjoyments—these are the true solace and hope of mortality.” A Grf.en one.— “ Have you any on ions'?” said a gentleman to a remarkably green looking sucker. “No,” was the reply, and the gentle man passed on his way. “ I wonder,” said the sucker, after scratching his head for some time “ if that tarnal fool did’nt means inverts!" MACON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1844. Indian mod’* of unreins; Children. Tit? invariable custom was for the “squaw” to place the “papoose” or infant, in an upright cradle, which was suspen ded from her back and which she car ried about with her throughout all her arduous toils from morning to night.— The infant was tied with dear skin straps to a board which rest against the back of the mother, and as they were back to back they looked of course in contrary directions. The feet rested on a band and from the roof of the cradle were sus pended ingenious and beautiful toys and rattles with which the little Indian a rnused itself in its waking moments.— The position was certainly one eminent ly conducive to the full development of limbs and chest, and the growth of a healthy frame. The mother, in the course of operations in cutting wood, cooking, or dressing skins, was contin ually stooping and rising, by which the papoose enjoyed an almost perpetual rocking motion. If it was cross, and cried, the mother only worked the hard er, and upon no consideration did she take it down for the purpose of soothing orconxing it to good nature. There it swung up and down till it fell fast as leep at its own convenience; hut when the mother heard that the child had awa kened and was good huinordly playing wiih its rattles, she took it in her arms and' fondled and fed it, though, on the first symptom of a frown, it was again suspended back to back in its cradle.— Might not civilized mothers take a leaf from the book of the squaw, as to the inutility of over-fondling cross infants which nredetermiuod to giverioisy proofs of their presence in the world ?— Gatlin's Lecture. Industry, Happiness, and Health. We were forcibly struck, a few days since, with a remark made by an old and affluent citizen, whom it is needless to mention. Speaking of his habits, and of his constant attention to someining which occupied his mind, he said that he al ways felt better, physically and meti tally, when employed in some useful pur suit, because in the first place he knew he was discharging his duty as a mem ber of society arid a man, and in the sec ond, he was prevented from indulging in painful thoughts. This is sound philos ophy. The idler, whether rich or jwor, young or old, is.far more apt to be annoy ed by disagreeable reflections, to feel moody and discontented, to be hurried on into temptation mid crime, than the indi vidual who, no matter what his condi tion in a pecuniary point of view, seeks to keep both mind and body properly employed, and'thus to shut out feverish desires and nervous phantasmagoria, which idleness is certain to call into ex istence. Every individual has a part to play in the drama of liie, and that man is happiest, be he rich or poor, who with a proper consciousness of right and wrong, virtue and vice, keeps his mind and his body in a wholesome state of exercise, always careful to be prompted iu its movements by honor, honesty and con scientiousness. Polite Cowardice. —The following conversation took place between the gov ernor of Pennsylvania and one of his aids, the editor of the Lancaster Demo | crat, on the subject of going to Philadel phia to help quell the riots: “ Colonel, do you feel valiant this morning?” observed his excellency, with a grim smile. “ No, sir, for I am feeling for my hand '■ kerchief.” “Ofcourse you go with us to the city?” “Could not make my arrangements to go before next month; and as 1 have no desire of experimentally knowing what a knock down means, I may not go be fore the fall." “ But the honor—” “ But my bones—” “ \\hat will the world say?” “ What will my wife say ?” “ You will lose caste.” “ I may lose my life.” “ But yom duty—” “ But my inclination—” “ You’ll be broke.” “ Have been for three years.” “ The cars will soon start.” We whispered a whisper—the Govern or smiled—and believing that a stop coind lie put to the riois without the aid of ins aid, he benevolently granted us a furlough of two months, and thus saved our military reputation. A flash of lightning at Philadelphia, knocked a “stickful of matter” from the hands of a compositor without injuring him. “ Brevity is the soul of IVit." —lt would be no small convenience to prin ters and a great comfort to readeis, if our public men had more of the “soul of wit” and less of the dictionary.— Worcester Pa ladium. Who does it mean ? A western editor, who is an old bach elor, says, “we never cared a farthing a bout getting married until we attended an old bachelor’s tuneral. God grant that our latter end may not be like his.” __ POLITICAL. h'rom the New Orleans Jeffersonian. A Southern party. We, and those who agree with us, in relation to recent political developments, and especially in relation to our advocacy of the immediate annexation of Texas, have been charged with a wish to raise a Southern party, and thereby destroy the harmony of the Democracy. This charge we most unconditionally detifi We never have encouraged sectional feel ings—we have accustomed ourself to look upon the whole United States, as one jreat family, whose interest was identical—notwithstanding their Various pursuits, habits, climate, and soil—we have regarded these differences, as con stituting the ehief element of nation*! greatness, and calculated to promote in dividual prosperity and happiness. The broad banner of the Union extending overall, and dispensing its blessing as impartially as does the light of heaven, would produce this result; but there ceas es to be any hope, for “a consummation so devoutly to be wished,” if the legisla tion of that Union, is partial in its ten dency—fostering and cherishing one sec tion of the Union at the expense of an other. No, we would make no southern party, we would have hut an American patty —but u ton the principle that a man would protect his domicil from the as saults of the aggressor, won Id we stand on the defensive; and let it be borne in mind, that if such a party should be formed, it will be done iu obedience to the great laws of defence. We will make no assault upon our brethren at the North, we will take no steps to de prive them of what justly, under the cou stiiution of the country, belongs to them, on the contrary, we will do all in our power lo maintain them in the full exercise of those rights; but whilst we yield this, we must say as candidly to them, “if by the bare force of numbers you usurp our rights, and impose upon us burthens not authorised by the con stitution, if you persist in this course, you have forced upon us the necessity of protecting ourselves, and we tan and will do it.” The Union is dear to us, we would shed for it the last drop of blood in our yeins, but you had as well be told first as last, that the Union ceases to be valuable, when instead of holding over ns the minority! the t®_res of protection, it brings with it but such burthens as a majority nmy think proper to impose.— We ask simply, that the constitution of our country may be permitted to rule its spirit and letter; we ask for no favors, we seek only justice—if that is denied us. our position is one of armed neutrality, making no assault ourselves, but prepar ed to repel all which may be made upon us. It is perhaps the misfortune of oru couutry-men, that the great masses of the people think too lightly on the sub ject of the operations, and influence of government policy, upon individual pros perity; such considerations are of a grave character. We should accustom our selves to inquire whether this or that par ty’s favorite should be elevated io office, but our inquiry should be, if elevated, what would be his course and policy, and how far would it tend to advance the prosperity and happiness of the coun try, or militate against it. Upon a calm review of the influence which a known course of policy would exert, either the one way or the other, our opinions should beformed. Our countrydemands our service; she demands an active, dis passionate, and energetic devotion to her true interest, and not a blind devotion to men. None have a right to withhold it from her. The voice of the mighty dead, speaking from the green graves where their bones are mouldering in the soil of the tented fields which has drank their blood in the cause of liberty, con jures us to reflect, and then to act. The sweet faces of our innocent babes who cling around us for protection, implor ingly admonish us that we hand down to thefti the bright inheritance of liberty, unimpaired. Yes, there is still a strong er appeal. When we hear the denun ciations daily uttered against us and our domestic institutions; when we hear an Ex-President proclaim in Congress, that if it is necessary to accomplish the ob jects of emancipation, millions of lives must he lost; when we hear the minister of the most powerful nation on earth de claring that the object of his government is to abolish slavery throughout the world; when we find that this declara tion finds a cordial response in the bosom of a large portion of our own country men; when we find them opposing the acquisition, of one amongst the most fer tile regions in the world, simply upon the ground that it will extend the slave holding influence in the government, and thereby afford them the means of protec tion; when we remember the servile pop ulation which extends itself through our borders; when we remember that it is ig norant, brutal, and easily inflamed, and in many parts of the country far out numbering their masters, and when we witness the course of political men, bow ing and cringing to the miserable faction which would inflame this population, we confess that there are times when the gloomy picture of onr murdered wives and children forces itself upon ns, and when we look with horror into the fu ture —God grant that these visions may never be realized. If the people qf the North, or those few of the South, who are determined to cling to men, regardless of consequences, desire to avoid the formation of a South ern party; let them do us justice, and there is no danger of it. Let those al the North cease lo abuse us, cease to attack our domestic institutions, cease lo foster means to alienate our slaves from us, cease to oppose the last hope lelt us for a protecting influence in the government, cease to burthen us with odious and op pressive Tariff, cease to insult us in and out of Congress, and let those amongst us who differ from us on mere party views* cause to rthrvmd, lo diem, and let both a. gree in administering the government strictly according to the constitution, tmd we shall never have a Northern party. Then it will he, that we will go forward harmoniously in the great cause of self government, and the voice of gratitude will rise up from the green savannahs of the South, and hail that from the snow clad hills of the North, and the deep for rests of the West. From the 8; erf at or . Who ift Lewis Cats? He is the son of an officer of the Revo lution. who settled in Ohio soon aflei that war was ended, and in the western wil derness Lewis ('ass “growing with its growth,” became a man. He studied law with Return J. Meigs, first Governor of Ohio, and the steadfast friend of Jefferson and Madison, whose political teuets he early imbibed, and has since undeviatingly maintained. At the earliest age permitted by the law, he was elected a member of the Ohio Legislature. It was at this mo ment that Aaron Burr and Blannerhasset embarked upon the treasonable expedi tion in the West. This movement be came the i-übject of legislativediscussion, and Lewis Cass was the author of the law under which these notorious traitors were arrested. He was despatched to Washington by the Governor, to communicate the cir cumstances of their arrest to the Presi dent, Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson soon afterwards appointed him Marshal of Ohio, Which office lie filled up to the declaration of the last war with Great Britain ; when he resigned that lucrative appointment, then rendered greatly more profitable by the existence of wnr, and joined the army. Richard M. Johnson commnndrd the Kentucky, and Lewis Cass, the Ohio vol unteers. Colonel Cass was first placed under the command of the more modern traitor, Hull; and was the author of his famous proclamation to the Canadians upon his invasion of Canada—n paper always conceded to be second to none that had ever emanated from a military commander. Commanding the van of Hull’s army, Colonel Cuss was the first man who placed his foot, as an enemy, upon British soil during that war. Up per Canada was conquered, and had Gen eral Hull carried out the precepts incul cated by his proclamation, all Canada would have belonged to us, and there would not have been at this moment an inch of the American continent polluted by European dominion. Asa member of the council of war, held previous to the surrender, he joined with ti e other members of that court in condemning that infamous measure, and, on behalf of his brother officers, went to Washington to express to the President, in their be half, their unanimous disapproval of that transaction. Placed subsequently under the command of General Harrison, he served with him in all his successful campaigns, and after the war wus associ ated with him and Governor McArthur, in their important negotiations with the Northwestern Indians. He was the au thor of all the treaties entered into by them. Thomas L. McKenny and Schoolcraft, in their writings upon our Indian affairs, attest to his paramount ef ficiency in these negotiations. Mr. Mad ison appointed him Governor of the Ter ritory of Michigan, which office he held until the sagacious judgment »f Andrew Jackson summoned him to preside over the Department of War. The next office filled by General Cass was that of Minister to the Court of France. His country has never had a more able representative abroad, and Europeans have never seen a better specimen of un sophisticated American gentlemen, im parting Republican courtesy, in its una dorned simplicity, to all iner., of all na tions, with whom he became either offi cially or socially connected. It may be truly said of him, that he “ gained golden opinions for himself and his country, “Jroin all sorts of men.” He successfully defeated the consum mation of the (Quintuple treaty, which conceded to England her long-claimed right of search, one of the primary cau ses of our last war with that country.— In this last of his public acts, he evinced a tact in diplomacy, and a knowledge ol international law, which proved him equal to the most adroit statesmen who look part in these negotiations. VOL. II —"NO 3. | In all the important situations m which he has been placed, Lewis Cass has, m (every instance, proved himself equal to whatever task has !»een imposed upon him; and should the course of evt nts place him in a yet higher altitude in the eyes ot his countrymen, lie cannot fail to add new honors to the many that alreacy belong to him. PIONEER. The lion. Absalom 11. Chappell, an ! '.he Whig Baltimore Convention. We have been shown a letter from ‘he Hon. A. 11. Chappel I, to a friend in this c: :v, who has permitted us to take from il tiio following extract for publication. This course is deemed right and proper, frr n the impression which seems to have gene abroad into the country, to the prejudice of Mr. Chappell, that lie was at the fit to Wing Convention tu Baltimore,/aid gave his vote as oiie ot lire delegates fwmi ' Georgin for Mr. Clay for the Presidency. It will be perceived from the extract be low, that Mr. Chappell did not attend that Convention, but “ refused to have anything to do with the Convention.” ilis devotion to Republican principles which he has supported through his whole life, and the continued and fearless maintenance of them in his recent role in the House of Representatives upon the Tariff, has, we peiccived, already called down upon him the enathemas of the Whig press. “I assure yon, my dear sir, that I am incapable of such a gross inconsistency as that which would exist between st tid ing such a letter as 1 have done to the people of Georgia iu regard to Mr ('lay and his party, and then co-operating in a party Convention to recommend him for the Presidency. I was not at the Balti more Convention, and refused to have any thing to do with the Convrntion.— I remained all the time at my post iu Washington. I should be glad you would give even a newspaper publicity to this fact, if it should not have been done before this reaches you.” The Tariff. Ever since the passage of the Tariff of 1812, trade has revived and every thing has been prosperous nt Boston m:d New York. We have not discover and much change for the better at New Or leans, or any place at the South. Tiir Tariff.— We see the North ern papers filled with commendation of the present Tariff, and high floating of the beautiful manner in which it works. We earnestly wish that we had some cause for boasting ever lo little in the South. The Tariff. # —We hoar no one in the Southern States boasting about their prosperity, and the happy results of the present Tariff. Here money is huid to get nt 2 per cent per month. The northern papers, however, are filled with happy arcounts—the factory girls arc getting rich-- faj iml j ays a got and interest and money is abundant at o cents per annum. Verily they arc a contented people ! Vote on (he Treaty. The following is given with much confidence in several ot the Northern pa pers, as the vote when the question is ta ken on confirming the treaty: Yeas —Messrs.

Without pretending any positive knowledge on the subject, Int merely judging from the character of the men and their past history, we predict, with considerable confidence, that the names of Messrs. Atchison, Atherton, Niles, Rives, and Sturgeon are misplaced in the above; and that when the question is ta ken, they, and we trust others, will be found on the side of patriotism and their country.
