* We are growing old?how the thought will rise
When a glance is backward cast
On some long-remembered spot that lies
fn the silence of the :past:
" - -1? T??n.n

I Or the tomb of early tears;
Bat it seems like a far off isle to us,
>Iu the stormy sea of years!
CSt:>- ' ? I-'-' / -V-' ~y, ."
*0h! wide arid wild are the waves that part
Our steps from its greenness now?
And we miss the joy of many a heart,
Arid the light ofmaay a brow;
.For deep o'er many a stately bafk
Have the whelming billows rolled,
'That steered .with us'from that early mark?t?h!
friends, we are growing old!
:
; Old in the dimness aud the dustv.^ r *'
'' Of
our daily toils and cares,
Old in the wrecks oflove aDd trust
Which our burdened memory bears,
JEach form may wear the paseing-gaie
The bloom oflite's freshness yet,
And beams may brighten our latter day^v I
Which the morning never met.
.y - c . >. v
But oh! the changes we liave seeb !
"In the far and wending way?
The graces in our path that have grown green,
And the locks that have grown gray !
*The winters still on our dwntoay spare
The sable or the gold;
But we raw their snows upon brighter hair?
And, friends, we are growing old I
"We have gairi'd the world's cold wisdertn now,
We have learn'd to.^pause and fear?
,But where are the living founts whose flow
Waa a joy of heart to hear ?
We have won the wealth of.raan^.e'Clime,
And the lore dfmariy a j'page-^
But where is the hope that saw in Time
But its boundless heritage ?
Will it come again-when the violet wakes,
And the woods their vouth renew?
We have stood in the light of sunny brakes,
Where the bloom was deep and blue; *
And our souls might joy in the spring-time then,
But the joy was faint and cold?
For itneer could give us the youth again
Of hearts that are growing old.
From the Richmond Examiner.
The Sword and the Jack Plane.
The Whig political cauldron has for some
' "* r.__:?.1.. V1T^U.?
time been nailing rrrosi lunuus^. kvuski,
jFillmore, and Scott, have been steeped in it,
and stirred round and round, by their respect
ive iriends, each hoping in the general attrition,
and trying process, his particular favorite would
come out the true embodiment of Whig public
qptoion. We learn the .great -God dike, .the ex
pounder of the Constitution, tvas hardly under
water, and had been given a twirl or two, before
the Constitution, in a gaseous form; was
* -- seen to rise in bubbles on top, and vanish into
.air. Even his Jedersonian doctrines, promulgated
under an October sun, soon rose and.escaped.
There was no need for such things;
they wanted Whig principles. And as they
stirred the Expounder, his long lite of public
service, his labors in the Cabinet, his services
jn the Senate, when, standing on the Comproj
mise, Atlas'like, he sustained on his sbouldora
the weiirht of this vast confederacy of
v*w*" ----O
.Strtes, oue after the other disappeared. Following
them carae the Hulsemari letter, and
when this appeared, it was declared he had
i - given up .the ghost, and there was no more of
Webster.
r Then Scott and Fillmore were subjected to
ribe same process, and steeped together; the
friends of Scott insisting-upon ins being full
dressed, with sword, epaulette, cocked hat
and feathers-; and wanting something which
should make a noise, without there being any
rtKing in it, they added the drum and fife. They
also basted him over with native Americanism,
[ ffiour of Sewardism, and the Constitution in a
powdered form. To offset these, Fillmore was
dressed in the robes of office, his pockets filled
with executive patronage: and they covered
,him with the Compromise and non-intervention,
and added likewise his political opinions, saying
he was of the true faith, for he was more
.like Joffersoh than Jefferson himself.
Tbia herterogeneous mass they put in motion
and awfoi was the trial and the tribulation,
VVben the boiling process commenced, first
one thing was parted with, then another, and
the two were seen whirling round and bobbing
r
their heads up and down, and struggling for
the mastery. Now feathers has it, now Executive
Patronage ; now one, now the other, and
the struggle became so terrible, it. was feared
bcth would come out together, and there would
-be two Whig fprinciples.
There was at 'length a calm, then 'perfect
quiet, and the struggle was over. The lid was
removed, and the sole residium left was a dhum

worshipped, and sang hosannahs'to this .great
Whig principle-; and'though at first there was
-much dissatisfaction in the ranks, at the roll of
the drum they fell into line, shouldered their
arms, and were ready to march.
So that all divisions in the Whig ranks, all
shades of opinion, all questions of policy, all
hatred of-military heroes, all opposition to the
conquest of Mexico, have all merged themselves
into the drum and fife the drum and
fife now stand forth as the embodiment of the
Whig party.
It is this, against which the Democrats have
to contend,; no question of policy, no opinions
.of >tbe Constitution, no question of Finance,
indeed no great national measures are to he
discussed.; all are to be drowned in the drum
and fife. Military deeds are very captivating,
and where connected as they are in this instance
with a gallant though vain and selfish sdldier,
"the great captain of the age, who comes warm
from the field of battle covered with the gar.lands
of victory, be is a competitor much to he
dreaded.
Already in fancy we hear the spirit stirring
notes of the drum and fife, and see flags flying,
with military devices, and multitudes marching
and countermarching with brilliant transparencies
of Chippewa, Niagara, and of scenes in
Mexico, and shouting themselves hoarse with
* ? 1-1 mi 1 1

to gaping crowds ipouringdbrth torrents of eloquence.
and portraying his military deeds in
the most glowing colours of the richest fancy.
They will talk of Chippewa, and exhibit the
shir spangled banner'in tatters, and the American
eagle riddled with bullets ; they will point
to that colossdl power on Whose dominions the
sun never sets, and whose reveille follows the
nacrning round the world, and tell how on the
{Jlaiu3 of Chippewa rt was trailed in the dustwhile
some son of the WeBt will kill the British
Lion right out, and sketch Scott as reposing
on him after the fatigue of the battle, with one
of bis claws for a toothpick.
Mention N-f?gara, and the rainbows of Heaven
Will be made to encircle bim and bis army;
and the rushing cataract will faintly represent
the power of the opposing forces he there encountered
By the lurid glare of torches, at
the dead hour of midnight, will they visit Lundy
6 Lane, -wade up to their knees in blood,
point out thousands .floating in their gore, and
I at last find Scott meditating on the scene, and
show you his two wounds, from which blood
will lie running like water from town pumps?
and the roar of Niagara will be interpreted ;
from that day to this, it will have cried out Scott
Scott, Scott.
Or-they will tell of Mvxico; and Vera Cruz
and Chnruhusco, and Mnlino Del Key, and
Chapulteptc, will rise in the distance ; the halls
of Montezuma will echo to his steps, and
mountains be made to tremble beneath bis victorious
march
In what glowing colours will not .fancy
wreathe his brows with laurel ?
How shall we meet these things? We know
they give no evidence of administrative talent,
no guarantees that the provisions df the Constitution
will bo faithly executed, and no security
to the South that its peculiar institutions
will be protected. They indicate no foreign
policy, nor do they say anything of thosegreat
questions whiih have so long divided the two
parties.
Still they will have their effect. How shall
we meet them ? To the vivid descriptions of
glowing fancy, charming multitudes and filling
them with excitement, shall we oppose naught
beyond a learned discourse on the"Constitution,
on the 'tariff, or on free-trade ? It
would be idle 'to do so ; we should have so
few listeners; should we seek to pourtray the
dangers of dbdlrfion, or discuss the pro
- . Ml
priety 01 toreign 'intervention, xne case win
be the same; if the Drum snd Fife, cotne
along?we will have no "hearers.
We saw this in 1840- We felt it when one
of the most distinguished of Whig orators de
dared,that he would no more think of stopping
in his impassioned discourse to answer an argument,
than would a railway train in its rap id
transit stop to punish the barking of a dog.
To all this, for it is our custom, and respect
Tor the intelligence of the people m ikes it our
policy, we must oppose a statesman of enlarged
and liberal views, whose past history affords
a true index ol what his future course will be ;
one who is identified in feeling and principle
with the Democratic party; a man of acknowledged
standing, of unquestioned talent?and
ONK wno HAS THE ELEMENTS OF POPULARITY'
Have w&Sttch mttrf- Te~ must admit that
we have many who possess the first named
qualifications; and if 'the contest between Scott
and any one of the lending Democrats who are
regarded at his probable competitors, was to be
decided by their capacities for the supreme
post of President, we should all feel easy and
indifferent. But that we have now within our
reach a chief statesman, with elements ot popularity
equal to those of Scott, is a subject of
doubt with many who recollect the military
politics of tho past. Certain it is that, we have
no military men at this time in our party whose
military achievements wo can fairly place in
contrast with those of Scott. To enter that
war with the woapons now in our rcaeh, would
be to fight a gunboat against a seventy-four,
But there are other and stronger means to
reach the people'* heart than by tho roar ol
cannon, the glitter of steel, and tho pomp of
desolating war; and we assert that in the front
j ranks of Democratic statesmen stand men who
| unite all those qualifications of personal worth
i which our party has ever declared to bemidisjpensable,
with the element* of a popularity
i infinitely deeper and more enduring than any
' which circumstances and professional talent
; have given to the vainest, the most selfish, and
! the most ridiculous of heroical coxcombs.
i We .propose' to illustrate this assertion,
; Without disparaging any other great name, we
j will single out one among the first, and let his
strength re-assure the.faint hearted and lift u|;
those who fall.
Stephen a Douglas is the adopted son of Illinois.
He entered that State as a journeyman
carpenter; and at twenty-six years of age
he sat a Judge upoE the bench of her Supreme
Court. Sinee then he Has successively filled
every honorable and high office which that
State could confer, and at the age of forty-one
he is facile princeps of-the American Senate?
'the bright and morning star of the National
Democratic Party?and is designated by millions
of voices from Maine to Texas, as the
future helmsman of the Nation. He is no relic
of the past?no fossil remain of a bye-gone
time. No past defeat casts.its ominous shadows
in bis path. Hope and youth blaze before
him ; success sits like a halo on his brow. He
has already passed every contemporary competitor,
yet all may see that the history of this
man is still a future. His political connexions
are yet to be formed. He is the new man in
the field. He belongs'to no diqoe df old. fogies?in
Virginia or anywhere else." With him
all ranks of the party?the young and the obscure,
as well as the old and hitherto distinguished,
will have their equal chance. He hus
no past :backslidings, tio indiscreet speeches,
for'the orators and fh j presses of the Federal
party to match against tlio ridiculous qualities,
the absnrd words, the follies, and the worse
errors of Winfield Scott. His Democracy is
the "ohrysolyle without flaw;" in his political
career .there has been no variance nor shadow
of turning. In his whole life there has not
been one hour of vacillation, nor has a single
sectional sentiment ever yet distorted his lips.
Boldness of movement, precision of thought,
and the most enlarged views of our na:ion>l
interests, have ever guided him. Even his geographical
position forbids the suspicion of
sectional feeling or thought A resident of a
free Stale..he is vet a Southern Planter?for
the Senator from Illinois is the master of an
estate and of slaves in North Carolina. He
has stood by the South in every trying scene
and on every test question. In every interest
he is irrevocably ^identified v^itb u&, flftd when
the uproar over the Fugitive Law convulsed
the North, he was tlie first man in n free State
who bad the courage to stand in tire midst and
. denounce its enemies as the enemies of the
Constitution and of the country's weal. -He
never gave a vote which the straitest Southern
Democrat could wish to blot. He is not. afraid
of the people, and therefore never stops tc
think how lie himself will be affected by this
or that particular question. Sprung from then),
one of them, he has confidence in their intelligence
and patriotism, and therefore, when following
his own common sense and the Const!
j tulion, never fears to find Iums<?n at variance
with popular sentiment, ile is the true type
of .this powerful and growing new country;
and its heart will recognize its perfect representative.
Sprung directly from the people,
without the most remote aids of birth or fortune,
educated by hisown thirst for knowledge,
he supported himself from Infancy 1)y his daily
labor; and battling alone against the world, he
has risen with the sheer force of a superb intellect
and nndaunted heart, step by step, until he
now stands acknowledged and respected as
the chief champion of the Democratic Party.
Each class of men love and admire him most
who carries the excellencies of their order to
the highest degree. As d?>gs follow the most
-successful huntsman and leave their masters,
so do soldiors dove more than life itself the
conquering tjeneral, so do merchants worship
the most fortunate among the children of Mammon,
and so do artists think him the greatest

and the pencil. Tried by this truism,
the axiom of universal observation, Stephen A.
Douglas possesses greater elements of popularity
In the United States than any other living
man; for-ha has exemplified in an unparalleled
degree those characteristics which attract
the eyes of all the world to this new, this
young, this growing, powerful and most successful
country. Where shall we find such
another instance of our age and our land as
the life of this grent statesman offers? He
whom we saw a few short years ago in his
shirt sleeves at a carpenter's bench making sofas
and bedsteads, now charms with his elo
quence and impresses with his profound sagacity
the first deliberative body in the world!
What a splendid illustration is here of Republican
institutions: Every American who re"gTii*tls4be
great fact, must rejoice that his land
is the one tipWrr-^th^-globe where thus much
maybe attained by labor purpose.
Where else conld this occur? WhafV>guar.
antee is given to mankind that merit will ever
be rightly estimated here when wo shall see
the great Democracy lead this humble citizen
to the highest office in the gift of freemen ? Do
you not know, that the heart of this people
will thrill when by the power of its sovereign
choice it shall take a man from the carpenter's

help. Its benefits are not numbered, it is of u- d

is work, work, work. u
This instrument is to finger in the coming ti

A slight review of the public prints will dis- r:
cover that for some time back, intelligent men, m
through the aid of patriotic editors, have been f<
endeavoring to direct the attention of farmers ft
and planters to the value of the broad stuff ft
known as rye, by giving detailed accounts of f<
its cultivation, production and uses to which a
it can be applied with solid advantago to the ti
cultivators of the soil?and it is evident that s:
this grain is receiving more attention through d
out the Union at present, than it has for years fj
past. The exertions making by our good a
npirrbhnrs of Georgia to nossess themselves of v
the best variety of this and other cereals, and o
v'triS-SUCcess they appear tffhave, ought at least n
to indue^N|o|ne inquiry among us, for we have F
been prettyftsU 1convinced for some time past t
that the mitprprpfrgjng and iutelliger^neople ti
know well what they are about.
Like many other things tending to human
comfort and health, the value of this grain is
understood vory generally from report amongst
our southern population, who seem perfectly
satisfied with the report without risking disappointment,
or mistake, by putting the report
to the test of trial.
Wo are an extremely cautious people as re*^
gards breaking in upon the trot of those that
have preceded us in our agricultural movement vi
but what is truly astonishing, is that those h
i
mong as wbo came from sections of country
there different customs and habits prevail,
rhich they feel a confidence, if mtrodnced,
t-oulu work an improvement in the state of tbo
ountry, instead -of nn exertion to introduce
hose habits and castoruSj tliey at once-fait in- \
"\MBmr ' ' i " *''

lie same trot'they find prevailing.
A preparation of the grain before mentioned
or the laboring animal would be about as superior
to our present mode of feeding, as the
read of it would be found for the lal?ortng
lan, while a -combination of it with corn, or
nts or barley, tbe-first in nieal equally desirade,
to secure the health and capacity of the
tiiinal for labor, as-also to secure durability.
It Would not be fair to suppose that any ra
lonai man wuohas practiced'lanoring tue corse
o much extent, and who has not frequently, . JS
vith much uneasiness, discovered the. effect of
orn-feediog on the auimal, during that part of
heyearin the South, when labor produces a
endency in the man and horse to a fever state.
The premonitory symptoms of disease before
lim, leaves bin* without a doubt, that the food
>n which the animal is compelled to subsist,
3 the cause, nor can he for a mociient doubt,
when he sees the discharges made. It is a fart
nown, that this Btate of the horse is rarely
witnessed where pye and straw or the first, attfl
ats are the feed furnished trim when laboring;
r where tire Irish or sweet potatoe, -property
repared, or the carrot with hay Is made his
iet. ...
That the action of a laboring hdrfie is gov*
rncd by the food on which he subsists,;is weH
nderstood, and in itS the ?irdldbrated prepara/

It would be perfectly inadmissaBIe for any

ie losses by this animal in the South, especilly
in the cotton growing region, is startling.
'ut this noble and useful animal on the diet

ursoe the honorable course of making his
wn Iking"?which he will do (for he is neithr
a profligate or a loafer,) he Witt he found to
ive longer in a Southern Jinn in a Northern
lime; for not unlike roan, his friend and ene!>y,
he feels his framedess shaken by the exremes
of the climate?consequently, with our
jnorance or folly, must plead guilty, when his
xistence is shattered?for again, like his com- J
anion, man, the tenure of life is not shortened
y rational exertions or labor.
To the value of tliis grain already enuraora.
jd, we most add, and worthy of a pointed nocl>
with us Southerners, that it surpasses in
capacity for preservation, without expense or
ibor, for while the corn would bo almost toilly
consumed and the wheat destroyed by
io common enemy of both, this grain stands
ntouched for years exposed in the stack or
nder the shelter in -the stack without deterioition
or damage?and the ruffage still an exellent
provision for "the stall of the platter (if
e has one) at once going to the support of bis
ow, steer, ox, mnle, or even borse.
Nor do the claims of this valuable grain stop
ere. In its cultivation is found an admirable
reparation for the Insurance of that valuable ?
30t, the sweet potatoe. Immediately after
otting the grain, break op Ihe stubble ground
ith a suitable plow and with a large barshear
lake wide and deep furrows, into which rake
ie mass of stubble, covering with eartb, and
ou have a most efficient and economical prenration
for an excellent crop of that root, to
e produced by planting the viue of a variety
f the Red, well known for its quality of proucing
from the vine?-and then fail not to reollect
that you are producing two excellent
rops?one of the best breadstuffs, and the othther
an almost unequalled substitute, on the
ame ground, during the same year?.ana by
le return to the soil that each is known to
lake largely, you are gaining that roost desiible
result, adding to the fertility of your land;
rhile to secure the last in a still greater degree,
?od off the product with hogs that you iutend
)r the smoke house, and you will find in the
ifcnre crop unmistakeable evidence that die
rtilizing part of the process is complete, as
