The Land of Dreams-
BY WILI.IAM C.iIRTAST.
A mighty realm is the Land of Dreams,
With sleeps tb it hang in the twilight sky>
And weltering oceans and trailing streams,
That arleuiu where the dusky valleys lie.
|jut over its shadowy border flow
Sweet rays from the world ol endless morn)
And the nearer mountains catch the glow,
And flowers in the nearer fields are born.
The souls of the happy dead repair,
From their bowers of light to that bo .dering land.
And walk in the fainter glory there,
With the souls of the living hand in hand.
One cairn sweet smile in that shadowy sphere,
From eyes that open on earth no more—
One warning word from a voice Once dear—
How they rise in the memory o’er and o’er '.
Far from those hills that shine with day,
r- And fields that bloom in the heavenly gales,
The Land of Dreams goes stretching away
To dimmer mountains and darker vales.
There lie the chambers of guilty delight,
There walk the spectres of guilty fear,
And soft, low voices, that float through the night,
Arc whispering sin m the helpless ear.
Dear maid, in thy girlhood’s opening flower.
Scarce weaned from the love of childish play !
The tears on whose cheeks are but the shower
That freshens the early bloom of May !
Thine eyes are closed, and over thy brow
Pass thoughtful shadows and joyous gleams,
And I know, by thy moving lips, that now
Thy spirit strays in the Land of Dreams.
Light-hearted maiden, oh, heed thy feet !
Oh keep where that beam of Paradise falls;
And only wander where thou may’st meet
The blessed ones from its shining walls.
So shall thou come from the Land of Dreams,
With love and peace to tnis world ot strite ;
And the light that over that border streams.
Shall lie on the path of thy daily life.
President's Message in England.
Opinion of the English Press .
The Americans seem agreed to differ with
us; for while we deem a Queen’s speech the
most perfect which says the least, Jonathan
despises a President that cannot send a lengtht
“message” that tells every thing. President
Polk’s last missive was of an average exteny;
it filled seven mortal columns, and singularly
enough, is very readable even in England, for
it is clear, comprehensive, and candid; writ
ten in a plain* homely style, and conveying a
mass of very useful information—of essential
utility in the States. In this country, much
of the argument will be found iuadmissable;
for people have made up their minds to con
demn the Mexican war, but Mr. Polk’s own
countrymen entertain a very opposite opinion,
War, when successful, is always popular with
those who rejoice in the triumphs, and the
battles in Mexico are of a nature to flatter
’ national vanity. The President strikes an
other chord to awaken interest; he identities
with the war commercial and political advan
tages, contemplates an addition of desirable
territory, and a means of excluding foreign
power from his neighborhood, lie does not
hesitate to disclose his object, and this object
is of a nature to win for him the approbation
of the people, at least as long as the war con
tinues successful, and is not too costly. The
exclusion of European power from Mexico is
obviously based on sound policy, and apart
from the honesty of the intention, it is quite
clear that California and New Mexico would
gain eminently by annexation to the States.
Perhaps we ought to have foreseen this poli
cy, and purchased California for ourselves.
The prosperity of the States is a subject of
congratulation here; Jonathan is a good cus
tomer, and we should not forget that the
popular party in America reciprocate our free
trade views.— Liverpool Journal, Jan. 1.
All other resources failing, Mr. Polk recom
mends the continued occupation of the whole
country by the American troops, the seizure
of all the public revenues of the Mexican re
public within the grasp of the army, and the
levying contributions of war on the enemy
“in every form consistent with the laws of war”
In this lust particular, which may touch the
enormous treasures ot the Mexican churches,
the American Generals have shown far more
forbearance —to their honor be it said—than the
American government. Those facts suffice to
place before our readers the broad outline of
this extraordinary state of affairs. They need
no commentary. We sec before us the un
scrupulous rules of a democratic State con
fidently appealing to the passions of the
populace which raised him to power, to carry
ou a war as Unlimited in its objects and its
duration, as it was base and unhallowed in its
commencement. And what is still more
lamentable and surprising, although we do
not believe that this violent and rapacious
policy commands the respect or willing assent
of any rational or rightmiuded class of Ameri
can people, yet its opponents want citlier the
means or the resolution to check the Execu
tive Government in its career, and to vindi
cate the laws of international justice. A Whig
Speaker has, however, been elected in the
House of Representatives by a majority of one
vote, and we trust the Whig party will make
a vigorous effort to show that the principles of
this Message are not those of the whole people
of the U. S. —London Times, Jan. 1.
As might readily have been anticipated, the
principal portion of Mr. Polk’s harangue is de
dicated to the most daring and certainly the
most reprehensible adventure undertaken dur
ing his administration. We mean, of course, 1
the adventure against Mexico. In the Presi- |
dent’s speech, the whole history of the invasion ;
of that territory, beginning with the forced i
marches of General Taylor upon Monterey,
and terminating with the capture of the capi- j
tal city, and the entrance of the conqueros j
into the palaces of the Moutezumas, is recount
ed with an admirable exactitude; and the un- I
successful negotiation of the plenipotentiary, ;
Mr. Trist, is afterwards defined with considera- ;
bie emphasis and lucidity. Whatever may be ;
thought of the justice or humanity ot the
President, in attempting the subjugation of a ,
neighbouring and inoffensive republic, we wiil
acknowledge that his strictures upon the policy
of this movement are candid and plain-spoken.
There is no blinking the truth—there is no
evasion of the reality—there is none of that
sophistical reasoning which would have char
acterised the address ot a Guizot ora Mettcr
nich under similar circumstances. Mr. Polk
speaks home —bluntly, boldly, an I (upon that
point) with becoming brev.ty. He reminds
congress, and though congress, the whole
population of the L. S. that a vast expense has j
been incurred in cousequert.ee of the incursion i
made into the Mexican dominion—that a ;
national debt has, irt fact, been fairly saddled :
upon the republic—that with the accumulation,
of these liabilities, the arms of their brave 1
soldiers have everywhere triumphed—and
that, consequently, it is both expedient in a
pecuniary sense,an 1 possibly in a military one,
that the U. S. should receive compensation for I
the expenses consequent upon the war by '
a peace with the violated country, and by the
acquisition of these portions ot it which arc
contiguous to the American boundaries. The
meaning of that is plain enough in all con- j
science, The invasion was made with the j
intention of aggrandizing the U. S. by the 1
spoliation of the adjacent soil. A quarrel was
picked with Mexico With the determination of
realizing a territorial advantage from the en
counter of powers so disproportionately match
ed. The pretext of expense and indemnity
was foreseen from the very commencement
and now that the invading forces have pro
ceeded so far in their victories the ultimatum
of the plan is divulged. — London Sun , December
31,1817. "
The annual message of Mr. President I oik
to the American Congress, was received by
the picket ship Ashburton at Liverpool on
Thursday. The document occupies nearly
eight closely printed columns of matter.
What we Have given of the nature ol the 1 ic
sideut’s message must suffice at present; and
we can assure our readers in general that they
will be no great losers it they neither see nor
hear any more of the verbose document*
Preston Pilot, Jan. 1, IS4B. !
As might have been expected, the affairs ot
Mexico are referred to at great length. More
than one half of the entire message relates to
the past and present position of the differen
ces between the two republics. We are sorry
to say there is nothing in the tone of the Pre
sident which would lead to the anticipation of
a speedy cessation ot hostilities. After allu
ding to'the prosperity of the country, and
stating that from their abundance they had
been enabled to perform the pleasing duty ot
furnishing food for the starving millions of
less favored countries, the message refei s to j
“the serious cause of complaint against Mi*x- j
i C o —reiterates that the United States is the
aggrieved nation—that in self-defence they ,
were compelled to e, c’ the invader to
“vindicate national honor and interests they ;
arc called on to prosecute the war,—although ;
at every stage a willingness lias been mani- ;
fosted to terminate it by a “just peace.” The
President adds, that the war has been waged
not only to redress grievances, but to obtain
indemnity for the future ; that Mexico has no
indemnity to give but territory, and until she j
makes a cession of territory sufficient to can
cel past accounts, and provide tor the lutuie,
he recommends that no treaty of peace be ac
cepted. — Liverpool Mercury, l)cc. 01.
There can be little doubt that the course
recommended by the President in Mexican
affairs will be adopted. In addition to the ac
quisition of California, he proposes the organ- j
ization of a territorial government in Oregon, j
and the establishment of a tribunal with civil
■ jurisdiction in China. All these measures
have the same end in view—the development
of the resources of the United States territory, j
the assurance of a position that will enable
; the Union to watch over and support its com- j
merce both in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
• and the increase of its influence in the conn- j
oils of other American States. These are all
i perfectly legitimate objects for the American i
statesmen ; objects at the prosecution of which ;
we have no reason to take umbrage ; objects,
the attainment of which we could not prevent !
even though we were absurd enough to at
tempt it. The Americans, like other nations, j
conscious of superiority in power and intelli
gence to their neighbors, are desirous of mak
■ lug it felt. And no party in the United States
• will be able to acquire, or retain ofiicc, which
docs not show itself able and willing to gratify
; this desire. On the whole, the general bear- i
iug of the President’s message, and the indica
• tioiis of the Speaker’s election in the House of
Representatives, ought to be gratifying to tis.
; That America is bent upon making its weight
ft It among other nations,is too natural a desire
to entitle us to feel surprised at it. The gfeat
liberal interests which it must be the natural
wish of England to uphold, are more likely to
be strengthened than compromised by such an
, accession to the great councils of nations. The ,'
condition and temper of the United States is
of promising augury for that extension of our
commercial relations with them which is of so
much consequence to us. —London News, De
• cember 31.

Life in Mexico-
We have been permitted to look over a let
ter to a gentleman in this city from a humor
! ous friend at present in the city of Mexico,
; giving, in graphic style, a slight inkling of the
: manners and customs at present raging in the
city of the Aztecs. The whole letter is “rich,”
and were it not that the waggish writer might
be astonished to sec his epistle, intended only
for the eyes of a private friend, looming bold
h in print, we could not overcome the temp
tation to publish it entire. As it is, we must
content ourselves with an extract or two.
Speaking of the “advance of civilization’’
and the “march of improvement,” the writer
says: “This has become quite an American
town,” and in proof of the fact he adds:
One hears English spoken at every step; it
is becoming quite fashionable with the na
tives. I was surprised at hearing so many
Mexicans speak it. Some, too, are learning
the strangest parts of the language, such as
oaths and other delicate phrases. I was very
much amused the other day to hear a beggar
boy, who had heretofore begged in Castilian,
but desirous of keeping pace with the march
of improvement, had evidently been taking
lessons of some volunteer, and now he begs in
pure English thus: “Give this poor, blind
b’hoy a bit; for he is one of the b’hoys , and
d- u his eyes if he is any thing else !”
Here you see the blessings of civilization; the
re-conquest of Mexico by lx los Yankees” is al
ready becoming apparent, and if the present
generation is not improved by the contact, be
well assured that a large portion of the next
will be-.
A Singular but Beautiful Present-
Captain Kearney, of the Ist Dragoons, (U.
S. A.) was invited to the Ball given to Lieut.
Sweeney on Monday night. The gallant of
ticcr was prevented by a previous engagement,
from being present at the entertainment given
to his friend. On the day after, (Tuesday,)
Captain Kearney forwarded to the P'.stinguish
cd young Irishman, a parcel of gloves, whic’
on ins; ection, turned out to be of the singular
n umber. They were all left-handed. It so
happened that these two gallant officers fought
together on the dreadful battle-field of Chu
rubusco. Captain Kearney was wounded in
the left arm, which he lost by amputation.—
j Lieut. Sweeney was riddled during the same
j sanguinary conflict, and it was found necessa
ry to deprive him of his right arm, away from
the shoulder. Both heroes, once again, were
caressed by affectionate friends. And Com
! hone did they receive more delicate and ex
quisite attentions, than from warm-hearted
woman. The adage, that “none but the brave
deserve the fair,” was never better exemplified k
than on the occasion of the leave of absence,
lately taken advantage of by our military men,
who served in the late Mexican engagements.
I Amongst the numerous presents these fine fel
lows (Kearney and Sweeney,) received, was
parcel of gloves, by the “bold dragoon-.”—
“Hang it,” said he, “my left flipper Is gone,
and what can I do with a PA 18, of gloves? —
By the bye, Tom Sweeney has lust a right
; wing, and he has a right to a left one, or one
left (to me without use).” And thus were
the gloves divided; the maker, and bestower,
little thinking of the singularly affecting man
ncr in which they were to be disposed of. — N.

Mr. Starnes, fur the prosecution, in an able and

livered his charge, and the Jury retired with
the case to their room. After being absent
about ten minutes, they returned with a ver

nearly lost to the stage since the death of
Geo. F. Cooke, until its revival by Mr. Boss, at
the Theatre Koval Covent Garden, which was
attended with great success—his frequent per

also stamped it with the highest American re

We learn from the Richmond papers of j
Saturday, that these distinguished officers ar- j
rived in that city ort Friday morning. A large i
crowd of citizens greeted their arrival. They
were escorted to their lodgings; and at the
hour appointed, they were conducted by the
Masonic Committee to the Grand Lodge, and
introduced to a number of visitors.
At 4 o’clock, the Masonic procession pro
, cecdcd to the Exchange Hotel, where a splen- j
did dinner awaited their arrival.
The Legislative reception was to take place
on Saturday.
A New York letter of the 29th inst. says:—
“ The steamer’s advices have infused firmness
Cotton, and some brokers report an ad
vance of Jc. per lb. The market is buoyant,
but the sales are not large. To-day about 600
bales have changed hands, partly for Liver- ;
pool and parti y for spinning. There is not I
much pressing on the market, and prices look
like advancing.-
“ Exchange is very dull, and good bills, j
Sterling, have sold at 9 per cent. Southern
Bank bilk, well endorsed, sold at 10. Lead
ing drawers still ask 10-i, but do not sell, j
The market is at least & per ct. lower than be
fore the steamer.-

The Pennsylvania Banks are represented to
be in, a' most healthy satisfactory condition,
by the Auditor General of that State, who, in
his report to the House of Representatives, of
the 19th iust., speaks well of the prudent and
able manner in which these institutions have
been managed.
The Daily Advertiser, a newspaper publish
ed in Washington city, says—“ The report that
Mr. Clay is not and will not under any circum
stances be a candidate for the Presidency, is
now regarded here as a fact about which there
is no dispute.”
Ba.EAMTU.fF ro England. —The N. Y. Ex
press, remarking on the Cambria’s news, which
is generally esteemed quite favorable, says;
“Although breadstuff's are comparatively
low to what they were, we maintain they are
high enough. At the last quoted price, flour
may be shipped from here at $6, or a shade
under, and corn from sixty to seventy cents.
Wc can well afford to ship these articles, even
at a less rate.”
End of the SraciE Drain. — The New York
Express, speaking of the favorable character
of the Cambria’s news, says:
“The general impression is, that there will
be no more shipments of specie for the
present. The Cambria has brought out five
thousand dollars iu specie; that sum is al
ready entered, and tliere may be more;”

Sands’ Sarsaparilla.
ScROFOLA.—Other disease* have slain their
thousands, but Scrofula has slain its tens of thou
sands. Thii very alarming affection appears un
der a great variety of forms, from the slightest de
viation from health, to the most fatal of local ami
1 general disease. One of the most common forms
i is tubercular Phthisis Pulmonalitf or consumption
of the lungs; diseases of the hip and knee joint
and white swellmg — f also the glands of ib* neck
and other parts of the body. Experience has
shown that SANDS’ SARSAPARILLA is a cure
for this most inveterate complaint, and in numer
! ous instances it has brought returning health and
life where the vital spark had almost lied. From
its preparation and peculiar combination with oth
er vegetable substances, it operates by removing
in the first place unhealthy action from the dis
! eased organs, substituting healthy action in it*
place, and giving tone to the general energies of
the system.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, seo pamphlets,
which may be obtained of agents gratis.

May 26, 184 k $
Dr. D. Jayne,—Dear Sir.——Onr Mr. Jones has
been in a very low state of health for more than a
year; he has had the benefit of the best medical
advice our country affords, and also visited your
city during last summer, but found no relief. On
the 15th of April last, w* purchased a half dozen
bottles of your Toxic Vermifuge, and a half dozen
boxes of Sexative Pills. Through careless
ness in packing the article in a dry goods box, one
half the Vermifuge was broken. Mr Jones com
i menced with the 1 ills, and after taking a few do
-1 Ses, felt a decided improvement. Three bottles of
Vermifuge, which caide sale to hand, brought from
i him, he thinks, not less lltatl ONE THOUSAND
WORMS, and perhaps matfy m ore. lie is now
in bettor health than ho ha» beeii in for years, and
we hope a few more bottles of your Verulifnge and
j Pills will elfect a permanent cure All our phy
sicians have entirely mistaken his case; Prof. Sam
uel Jackson, of your city at the head. Mr. Junes
is most anxious to get more of your Pills and Ver
mifuge, as soon as possible.
Respectfully. J. 13. JONES & CO.
