UP SALT Rivera.
AIR :—"All on I-lobbies."
Come locus and Polk ats. and Nullifiers too,
And all the opposers of Tippecanoe,
. Our vessel is ready and cannot delay,
For Harry Clay's coming and you intist away——
Up Salt River, up Salt: River,
Up Salt River, Salt River, heigh ho !
The journey is rough, but never mind that,
Yoit went it in '40 with Kiiidcrhook Mat;
And twice has Polk threaded its mazes before,
sho re——
Atvzty up Salt River, &c.
And plenty ol'Polk-weeds we’ll have there to eat,
Our sails all unfurled the ‘lone star‘ at the must,
The breeze of Noveuiber will drive along litst,
Away tip Salt River, &c.
The first in the fleet is the old ship of State,
Joliu Tyler at helm and Bob as chief mate,
With V\’icklifi'e and Porter, Calhoun atid old Bibb
And all the ‘store cattle’ that feed front the ‘crib.’
Up Salt River, &c.
The ship Louisianna, the next one in rank,
VVith canvass wide spread now takes the right flank,
With full cargo of Polkuts, ti thousand or so,—
Hurrah for the country where Polk berries grow,
Away up Salt River, &c.
And old North Carolina, that famous old ship,
Has hoisted her sails and her cables let slip—
She started thus early to prepare under Hoke,
A glorious reception for Coiiitiiodore Polk,
Away tip Stilt River, &c.
See the old Empire Ship she's following fast
iiVith Slant, Bang &, co. hound tight to the mast
And old ‘farmer Bouck,’ Van Bitten and \Vright_.
VVith ten tliottsaiid ‘barn burners’ tostrikc tip alight,
On the shore of Salt River, &c.
The old Massachiisctts. the next one behind,
\Vith ‘sterotype’ Morton, sails swift ‘fore the wind,
He’: been there so often, no sorrow he feels,
And can now whittle shoe pegs and go ‘bobbin’ for
eels, ‘
Up Stilt ‘River, &.c.
The good ship Connecticut steady and trite,
With Cleveland to steer, and d. numerous crew
Ofrabid old Polltatswlioive laid in a store
Ofoiiioiis and Polk weeds to plant on that shore,
Away up Salt River, &c.
The noble Ohio is ready likvvise,
The pride and the glory oftill the Buckeyes,
Shels filled to the brim with live stock to pass
Far away up that country to run out to grass;
Up Salt Rivet‘ &.c.
The old Keystone state is also on hand,
\Vell rigged for ilte cruise, provisioned and maimed
Willi low wages Buchanan and others of rank
Who are going with Dallas to establish at batik
Up Salt River, &c.
And there comes Kentucky, but with a sinallcrew,
Forthe restate all going for Harry the trite,
\Vith rifles all ready and powder in store
To hunt up the foxes that dwell on that shore
Away tip Salt River, etc.
And old Tennessee will not be in the rear,
Hurrah, my brave boys, you need never fear;
\’Vith so skilftil tl captain you'll make a quick trip.
Up Salt River, &c.
And as you sail on you'll be still looking back
For the ships you expect on the very saute trtick,—
For Virginia, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Maine
And some halfdozeu others will follow in train,
Up Salt River, no.
And when the last vessel has got under way,
VVc'll_give a lottd shout for ottr own Harry Clay,
He’ll be President next and that \\illl0llt_j0k8,
So away tip Salt River with Dallas and Polk.
Up Salt River, up Stilt Rivet‘,
Up Salt River, Salt River heigh ho !
MISCELLANY.

proach. ..
After having walked about a mile farther
he saw something ‘looming in the obscurity.

His eyes by this time were so accustomed to
darkness that objects which would be invisi-

PROMISES.
Promises are of two kinds, simple and mu-
tuiil. Asimplc-‘promise is made by one
party_only. It is not conditioned on the
promise ofany one man or body:uf men, A
parent makes a simple promise when he
tplls his Children, that he will, at in future
tirrit-., take thetii to ride. or to visit the muse-
uui. A mutual promise is usuzilly styled a
contract, and consists in the promise of one
party, that he will do thus and thus, provi-
ded the cther party tvi'll'7‘d'o so and so, to
which the latter accedes and pledges himself.
.Einbarr.-ssinent often urist-s from the e-
quivocal teruis in which a promise is express-
ed. The same is true in respect to ambigu-
ous declarations. Thus if a boy keeps his
eyes shut. \\‘llllt3_ hisbroiher is doing a mis
cliievous not, he niziy tell his parents he did
not see his brother do it. ln one st-nse he

The same narrow spirit as was displayed
by Mr. Polk in regard to the Revolutionary
Survivors generally, was displayed towards
faithful public servants, in his votes in other
particular cas-s. If the Republic ever had
a true patriot and a faithful servant, James
Monroe was that man. He had a claim
upon his country, for arrearages and expens-
es incurred in the public service, which in
l826 Congress declared to be just, and or~-
dered to be paid. Mr. Polk voted against
paying either the principal or the interestof it.
Again, in l83l, upon some supplementa-
ry bill for the final adjustment of that claim,
Mr. Polk voted ‘against it, and accompanied
his vote with the remark, the harshnes of
which would have choked almost any other
man. that “this individual has no claim upon
the Nation !’ —
