He Will Not Woo Again.
?'l‘was but a» word, a careless word.
In pride and passion spoken ;
But with that word the chain that bound
Two loving hearts ‘was broken.
The nasty wrath has passed away.
The bitter words remain ;
In vain the lady weeps and sighs—
He will not woo again.
No other love may light her path ;
No other move his heart ;
Yet changing seasons come and go.
-And find them still apart.
Her once bright cheek is paler now ;
His bears a trace of pain ;
Their days are sorrowful, and yet
He will not ‘won again.
They meet as strangers, calm and cold,
As calmly, coldly, part ;
And none may guess that tranquil mien
Conceals a tortured heart.
To him the world hath lost its light;
For her all joys are vain ;
Nor hope, nor memory bring relief—
He will not woo again.
Alas. that love long tried and warm,
Should wither in an hour ;
Alas, that pride o’er human hearts
Should wield such fearful power.
Oh ! weep thou not for those who die-
For them all tears are vain ;
But weep o’er living hearts grown cold,
Who ne’er may love again.

The “Twelfth Section”-=—Ameri=
cans North and Smith.
Most of the American members ofiha
present Congress who represeiit constit-
uencies in the slave States, insist. upon
the recognition of the 12th section of
the Philadelphia Platform of Principles,
and plainly say to American representa-
tives from the free States, that they will
neither act with them nor stand by them
unless they plant themselves squarely
upon the doctrine contained in that ques-
tion. If they firmly maintain this posi-
tion, a sectional ‘division of the great
American party is inevitable. Experi-
ence has already demonstrated this fact.
Every sensible man, North or South,
must be aware of it. The American
party South did not do half as well with
this plank in its platform at the last
State elections, as the American party
North did without it. Every free State
repudiated it. Not one of them could
have begn carried with it.
, Even as it was, the party everywhere
at the North suffered partial paralysis in
consequence of it, and its energies were
sadly crippled by it. Shakingil ofi‘ was
their only hopeftheir only salvation.—-
With it, New York and Massachusetts
would have rolled up overwhelming
"Rt-piib|ican” majorities, and American-
ism would have been "crushed out”
through all the free States. This fact
is palpable and cannot be denied,_ Do
not these Southern Americans know it?
Is not the history of the whole move-
ment that the North was driven into in
consequence of the supreme folly that
foisted the pro-slavery plank into the
American platform, as well known and
as fully understood by them as it is
by any Northern statesman or partisan ?
Men who keep even the most ordinary
and cursory track of political events,
are fully aware of it; therefore it is
members of Congress are ignorant of it.
Taking it for granted, Ilierefoi-e, that.
they are well informed upon this point,
we must conclude that they have re-
solved to pursue ihe course they seem
to have marked out for themselves, re-
gardless of all possible consequences to
the nationaliiyvand the permanent and
effective union of the great American
party that now exists in the United
States. We are reluctantly driven to
this conclusion by the force of circum-
siances. We could wish that the case
was otherwise, and that the Southern
Americans were willing to meet their
Northern brethren on the broad, tena-
ble, and impregnable ground of a na-
lional organization, based upon simply
American doctrines aiidprinciples, inde-
pendent of the questioii of slavery,
which has not, necessarily, anything to
do with the American party, or the
objects it seeks to accomplish. But just.
now they evince no desire or willingness
nonsense to suppose that these Southern .
Americans who are urging on the p0li(‘.}' ,
; we lnve spnlaen of, and who have taken
’ their position so doggedly in reference
to it, will get their eyes opened Wider,
than they now seem to he, and gaining
wisdom by clearer vision, relinquish
their efforts to make the principles of
the 12th section a test of Americanism.
‘Ne hopeihey will ignore this umena-
ble and unreasonable test, and base it
solely upon the principles of the balance
of the platform adopted at Philadelphia.
Upon that we can all stand—Nortb and
South, East and VVesr,——-for that is pure-
ly American, just, right, needful, and
patriotic. It is national. There is noth-
ing sectional in it. And there should
be nothing sectional in any party; cer-
tainly not in the American party.
Ignore this uncalled for and unneces-
sary issue, and the American party must
be national, united and invincible. Press
it to the “bitter end,” and it will certain-
ly be divided, cannot therefore be na-
tional, and will be able only to achieve
local triumphs. '
Convention ty” the Veterans.-—Tlic
Convention of the Veterans of 1812 ad-
journed on Tuesday evening till the 8th
of January next, after adopting the fol-
lowing resolutions 2
Resolved, That having solemnly sworn
when we first entered into the service
of our country, to support and sustain
the Constitution cf the United States,
in the hope and expectation to enjoy the
blessings and advantages it was design-
ed to secure, we will honestly perform
the obligations it enjoius, and not shrink
from the duties it imposes on us. .
2d. Resolved, That we have Wil-
nessed with pleasure the efforts now
making in Congress for the final settle-
ment aud payment of our Revolutionary
debt. We consider that our Govern-
ment is iiuder the most solemn obliga-
tions tocarry out the promises of the
Continental Congress, as contained in
the resolutions of October 21, 1780, Jan.
7, 1781, and March 8, 1786; by allow-
mg to the officers of the Revolutionary
army, the half pay foi-life, to which
f.liey_ were entitled under those resolu-
flons, for the payment of which the
faith of the nation was pledged, and all
those Senators and Members who . have
taken an active interest in behalf of the
officers of.ilic Revolution, their widows
and children, are entitled to the thanks
and gratitude of the country.
3d. Resolved, That our grateful ac-
knowledgments are due to the last Con-
gress for its enactments in our behalf,
although not carried to the extent of
our hopes and -expectations; and we
earnestly petition the present one to
supply the omissions of the former, by
providing for the declining years of the
soldiers of our Second Warof Indepen-
dence, as was doiie for those of the
l Good for Missouri.
l The St. Louis Democrat, a Benton
paper of a recent date, reviews the re-
sults of the late session of the Missouri
Legislature, and conveys to us the grat-
ifying information that it has not only
refused to endorse the Nebraska Bill,
but has expressed its dislike of the bor-
der forays into Kansas by citizens,
by taking the preliminary steps towards
mining out of office, that “ Christian”
border ruflian, Rev. Presiilein. Shannon,
of the State University. We are hap-
py to be able to lay before eastern read-
ersthe evidence that Missouri is not to
be judged by the rascals of the frontier,
even if they are “Church members and
Th-:- Democrat
its
ornaments to Society."
says :
"A session of the Legislature, more
than ordinarily vital in its actiouto the
honor and highest interests of Missouri,
has inst come to a‘ close. Among the
results achieved, we rank as foremost
the defeat of the aspirations of Gen.
Atcbison to a seat in the Senate of the
United States. The significance of this
is plain and marked. Missouri abliors
the policy pursued by Atcliisou in pro-
posing the repeal of the Missouri Com-
promise. She puts the seal of reprehe-
tion on the agitation of the slavery ques-
tion which has grown out of that breach
of compact, for which Gen. Atchison
glories in being primarily responsible.
‘The-violence and frauds practiced in
Kansas, and the excitement fermented
in Missouri on the same subject by mean
of ihe Lexington convention and other
assemblages, were intended to operate
on the Missouri Legislature, to secure
Atcliison’s election and the endorse-
ment of the Kansas Nebraska Bill. Six
weeks of incessant plotting and sche-
ming failed to bring about either the one
or the other of these measures. A sanc-
tion of ihe Kansas bill was strongly
urged upon the Legislature by the Gov-
ernor in his regular message. In pm-su.
ance of his recommendation, Col. Moth-
ersheail introduced certain resolutions
info the house, formally espousing the
principles of that iniquitous violation of
the solemnly pligbted faith of the na-
tion. Happily there was a majority
possessing the nerve and probity to re-
sist and crush this effort :0 compromise
the State, and commit it to the corrupt
designs of a factions cabal, here and
elsewhere. The resolutions were voted
down, and with them fli:-. last hopes of
the uullifiers to sustain their cause in
Missouri. Atcliiscn was dropped by his
own party friends, the Anti-Benton men
and it was well uiiderstood that if the
balloting for Senator had been resumed
at the adjourned session, Atcliison would
not again have been placed in nomina-

Wherever bright nature may weave it.
The song of the soul is begun,
And an angel is touching the strings;
We’ve only to learn from the sun
To look on the bright side of things!
The bright stars that glitter like diamonds
Bound on the blue garment of Night.
Look down on the sun in his splendor
. As he sails through an ocean of light;
And the sun lends a ray to the darlings.
Borne out on etherial wings ;
O ! that mortals might learp from the starlings.
To look on the bright side of things!
And as stars assist stars in the azure-
If"we once more live without guile,
So shall pleasure re-echo to pleasure.
And smile again answer to smile.
Look upward! enough of the devil
Inhabits the temple of kings;
Enough of the spirit of evil
Is found——on the bright side of things !
Watch the rose-bud-—’tis blossoming PW!’-
Its red lips are healthy and bright,
It will live if it hopes—-fainting never
While it holds up its head to the lighi.
It will die if it droops—pining——swayin[£
To every sweet zephyr that sings 3
Let’s learn from the rose’s decaying
To look on the bright side of things!
Yes——“ the bright side of things,” for no other
Can revive the old Eden to birth ;
Oh! that man dealt with man as a brother.
Then Heaven would blossom or earth! '
Perfection would burst from its .-tals,
And haste on millennial wings '
Till nothing should tempt us, poor mortals,
But the bright side of things.’

"I LOVE TO S'rEAL.”—An amusing
incident occured in one of out down-east
chui"ches a few weeks ago. The cler-
gyman gave out tlichymu;
" I love to steal a while away
From every cumberiug care,
And spend the hour of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.”
The regular chorister being absent,
the duty devolved upon the good old
deacon M., who commenced, “I love to
steal,” and then broke down. Raising
his voice a still higher pitch, be sung, "I
love to steal ;” and, as before, he conclu-
ded he had got the wrong pitch, and de-
ploring that he had not his "piicli tuner.”
= he deteriniued to succeed if he died in
the aitempt. By this iime all ihe old
ladies, were tiueriug behind their fans.
whilst the faces of the "young ones”
were all in a broad grin. At length, af-
fer a desperate cough, he made a final
demonstration, and mare-l out, “I love
to steal.” 'l“.iis efforl was too much.
Every one but llie goodly eccentric
parson was laughing. He arose, and
l with the utmost coolness said, “Seeing
our brother's propensities, lei us pray.”
It is needless to say that but few of the
congregation heard the prayer.
Q3?‘ It is estimated that there are in
this city some five thousand ladies, the
yearly expenses of whom, for dress, ex-
ceed what it would cost to build a com-
fortable cliurch in the country !

3:?‘ Shanghai chickens are of some
use after all. Kirkland, of Greenbush,
keeps them in his orchard to frighten
away the dogs. 3
men, who love their country well, but
who are as much slaves to the institu-
tion of slavery, as their boudsmen are
by it, As the upholders and defenders
of that Institution, they assume their
present altitude, and keep their North-
ern American brethren at arms length.
They claim concessions, hlil. concede
nothing. What they now cla_'im cannot
and will not be conceded, The Ameri-
cans of the North entertain no idea of
deliberately committing political suicide
To yield to the demands of the South
would be destruction. They are not
dictated by either policy or necessity.——-
The ism section was both lmpolitic and
unnecessary. It was interpolated into
the national platform of principles by
men who regarded slavery before Amer-
icanism. It had no business in that
pla'.form——did not rightfully form a part
of it—was not asked for or expected——
and while every free State indignantly
spurned it, the slave States clung to it,
and even with it met defeat in every
State election that succeeded its adop-
tion! How can these men, in the face
of this fact, demand its recognition and
endorsement by the North?
As we have said, it will not be‘recog-
iiized or endorsed by the Americans of
any free State, or any portion of any one
of them.
The true course to pursue is that ur-
ged with ability and candor by the
Washington American Organ-ignore
the 12th section altogether, and steer
clear of the doctrine it embodies. Leave
slavery to the States and ’I‘erritories to
be disposed of as the people of each
may elect. The American party, asa
great national party, has nothing to do
with slavery, beyond resisting its exten-
sion in_'l‘erriiories now free of it. The
free Slates oppose it,_ and the slave
States defend and cherish it; and that
will be the case so long as it exists.-
But neither anti~slavery nor pro-slavery
sentiments are or can be national. The
causes and circumstances that make. one
man oppose and another man .upliold
slavery, are necessarily sectional.
Why then is this question, upon
which men of different sections of the
Union must differ, forced inioihe na-
tional creed of the American party’!
If the success or the «liscomfimre of the
American party was to decide whether
the institution of human slavery, as it
exists in the United States, was to stand
or fall, than the case would be changed,
and that would become a national ‘is-
sue. But. this is not the fact with the
American pnrty, any more than it is
with another party; and therefore the
disturbing and distracting issue forced
upon it by unwise men is neither neces-
sary, polific, legitimate nor binding.——
Therefore ihe emire North has repudia-
ted it, and-not a few of the newspapers
and the politicians of the , Sonih have
openly condemned it.
New York will have none of it, and
iiidignamly spurns it. The American
party is triumphant and dominant in
this the greatest and most powerful of
all the States of the Union. Had it not
repudiated the 12th section at Biughnm-
ion,it would have been ignominiously
and deservedly beaten. It therefore is
foolish to waste time and energies in an
attempt to cram down the throats of
the people a nauseous dose that. they
neither can nor will swallow, and that
would destroy them if they could or
would do so.
We earnestly hope that the Southern
the United States, instead of commen-
cing at the completion of the proof, as
is now practised at the Pension Oflice,
ought, upon every principle of justice,
to commence at and from the date of
the disability, and in case of the death
of the invalid, any arrears of pension
due him should be paid [0 his widow;
and in case of her death, to the survi-
ving children.
5th. Resolved, That the subsequent
marriage of a widow who was entitled
to up pension or bounty land in virtue of
any law of the United States, should
not prevent her from receiving such pen-
siou or land, provided she be otherwise
entitled to the same; nor should the law
rendei',it necessary that she be a widow
at the time of her application.
6th. Resolved, That the bounty land
act of March 3, 1855, ought to be amen-
ded, so as to embrace the children of any
person who, if living, would be entitled
to bounty land under said act, as well as
his “minor children,” and that those sol-
diers of the war of 1812 who enlisted
for five years or during the war, and
served until discharged in consequence
of disability, or by reason of the expira-
tion of their term, ought to receive a
grant of 160 acres of land in addition to
what they have already received.
7th. Resolved, That all the provi-
sions lierctofore made for us, or which
may hereafter be made, ought to be ex-
tended to our fellow citizens who were
confined in foreign prisons during any
portion of the war of 1812-’15.
8th. Resolved, That inasmuch as
many of the records of the War Office
at. Washington, have been destroyed, it
and require the production of record ev-
idence of service to entitle Illel‘ll0|'l0llS
applicants to the benefit of the land and
pension laws.
_ 9th. Resolved, That it is due to the
memory of James Madison, President
of the United Siates, at the time of the
declaration of war against Great Bril-
ain, and who fearlessly recommended
that important measure, to have an ap-
propriate statue erected to him in this
city.
l0tli. Resolved, That we will wear
crnpe on the left arm for 30 days, in to-
ken of respect ‘for the memories of our
companions in amis who have died since
our last Convention.
Ev‘ A pious ll'lllllSi.€l', after lecturing
a ragged Sunday school class in a most
edifying manner proposed to close the
exercises by singing “ Jordan,” meaning
the hymn, ‘,Ou Jordan's stormy banks I
staiid.” The worthy man was liorrified
by hearing the whole school imineiliately
strike up, " Jordan am a hard road to
travel, I believe.”
A Mista/lzeqf the Prz‘nter.—-The prin-
cipal of an academy, in his advertise-
ment, memloned his female assistant and
the "reputation for teaching which she
hears ;” but the prinLer—cnreless fellow
is unjust to refuse credible parol proof, _
grave he has gone down in Missouri.-
His agency in effecting the breach of
ihe Compromise, his disgraceful interfe-
rence in the affairs of Kansas, so glar-
ingly inconsistent with the pretended
principles of that measure, and his noto-
rious complicity with the Dark Lantern
conspiracy, have all conduced to his
condemnation to that limbo of lost poli-
ticians, over whose dismal gates is writ.-
ten: "WIIOSO enters here, let him leave
hope behind."
Not less significant is the action of
the Legislature upon the University
bill. This furnishes a most conclusive
proof of the reaction of the publicmind
of the State upon the Kansas question
Al the regular session one year ago, an
attempt was made to pass a similar bill,
intended to silence the pro-slavery rant-
ings of Shannon, the President of the
University. The bill failed. Shannon
took the stump during the last summer,
and attempted to rally to support the
pro-slavery sentiment of the State. At.
the Lexington Convention, at every pro-
slavery meeting where he could get a
heai'in_9_;——whei'ever throughout Missou-
ri a professed minister of the gospel of
peace could parade before a scandalized
‘public an exhibition of ultraism and vio-
lence, President Shannon was ready to
explode one of his inflammatory and in-
sane harangues. All was calculated
with reference to the action of the Leg-
islature on the questions which formed
the burden of his pliillipics. The issue
however has been very different from
that so confidently calculated upon by the
Aichison faction. The bill which fail-
ed to pass last year, passed this year
with an overwhelming ma_jorz'ts/.
