QLABZ & 00. There'* Mtwta Ul Lift Alter All. There's much in this life after nil, That's pleasant, if people would take it; On some of us trouble niusi hill. Rut sure I am most of us m ke it. Let us look fur the ups and the downs, And try to take things as we find them; And if we are me* by the frowns— Believe that a smile is behind them. What we liave. did we not rer eive ? Is the world not stiffie ently ronmy ? Then wiiy should we wish to believe We were sent into life to be gloomy ? We may meet with some rubs in om- day, But don't ht us tremblr for fear of them; Ruther hope they'll not CMne in our wnv, And do all we cm to keep Clear ot them. There are regions of quicksands and rocks, And it's difficult, too, to sieer roi.nd them ; A gnod plum-line might Bive us seine kuueks, But it's no easy m ittar 10 Souiul ihi'iii, And our chui t dii more than mislnul us. For our need e may point ihe Wrong way, Till we find tbat. ' each dog has his tUy" And a friend nil alive to succeed us. But there's much in this life after all, '1 huts pleasant, if peop'C won d take it; Though on sum of us tioub e must fall, Full sure I am most of us make it. Let us look for the ups and the downs, And try io take things ns we find th- in ; And if we arc met by the frowns— Believe tiiat a sode is behind them. Tliu Source of the Mississippi Hiver. Lift a bucket of water Irom the Mississippi river at New Orleans, and ask ynurself the ques tion, "From whence *t came?"' and the answer may be, Irnin the sandy deserts of New M>-xico, from the pine hill1- of Carolina, trem tin rolling prairies of Nebraska, or from.llie cottuii fields i Gk'Org a; frnm lhe British possessions norib the 49th degree ol latitude, K-paratvd by a th r dgi: of ice covered rocks from s;reams thai fin into the Arctic Ocean, or from bowers ol orniif and imigiiulia that perlume the cane-fi'dds Louisiana, from the frozen lakes that gem the bosoms of Minnesota and vV sconsin, or trom lhe i-miuy fountains that eu-h up from the fluwery plains ol Alabama nd Tem.essee ; from tlie I ke boond peninsula of Michigan ; fiom the hill sides ol wav ng grain ia Pennsylvania and New York | from tbe tobacco fields of Virginia and Maryhmd. It may be a part of those m gbty volumes that roll their never tiring wave?- through Iowa and Missouri, through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio ; through Kentucky and Arkansas, Mississippi and T xas. ft is a part of the ten thousand thousand little rills that come hymning their way In m that mountain range where.0 arise the Columbia and the Coloradoot the West, or of those from whence the Delaware and SttPquehana hasten away to meet the rising sun. In the spurs of the AUeglia. ny it haa saluted the Roanoke and the Saluda, and tar beyond the black hills it his lock' d arms with the mighty Saskashawan as he hurried on bischeeiless journey to Hudson's Bay. Thesprings of the Connewango listen to the roar of Nipgara. aud the fountains of the Platte overlook the craters of the volcanoes ol Utah. It has fertilized a country greater than the empire of Alexander. ar.d has carried a richer commerce than all the rivers tributary to Imperial Rome. -m*»tm»*m> Yankee Fighting—'lhe memoirs of Sir Charles N pier, just published in England, contain many passages interesting to Americans. Wa select a couple of paragraphs: ■' When at Bermuda, in 1819. with his regiment, Colonel Napier, writing to his mother,says:—Two pnck''ts are due. and we fear they have been taken, Ior the Yankees swarm here ; and when a frigale goes out to drive them off, by Jove, they take herl Yankees fight well, aod are gentlemen in tneir mode of warfare. Decatur refused Cardon's sword, saying, " Sir, you have used it so well. I should be aBliamed lo take it from you." These Yankees, though so much abused, are really fine )ws. One, an acquaintance of mine, has just got the Macedonian ; he was here a prisoner, and d;ned with me; he had taken one of our sh'p-, but waa himself taken by the Poictiers, seventy- foi.r ; being now in an English frigate, it he meets us we must, take him. or we ar« no lorger *-ov- gns on the ocean," From B* rmuda Churles Napier sailed for America, and become actively engaged io someol the daring and disastrous np'tations carried on agai> st the Americans by the government over which King George III. exreised a dcposlic power The bush method of warfare at rack h m cowardly, and as for the system of loadiiiL" can non to the mouth with odds anil ends of old iron, as his abhorence. Seven thousand men are at Baltimore, and we have no such force; still, my opinion is, that il we tuck up onr sleeves and lay our ears back, we may thrash them ; that ib, if we cauyht them out of their trees, so as to Blop them with the bayonet. They will not stsnd thai. But they mitth* Eighl unfairly, firing jagged pieces of ItQ0 and every sort of devilment nails, broken pokers, old locks of guns, gun-barreli. everything that will do mischief O.i board a twenty gun BlSlp that we took I lound this sort, of ammunilion retrnlarly prepared. This is wrong. Mand lights lo be killed according to the law of i aiioiis, and nothing is so pleasant and correct: but to be doused aghfot all nre is quite offensive. We don't then kick Ike gentlemen. A twenty four pound shot in the stomach is fine; we die heroically ; but a bras, candlestick for sinfling, with a garnish of rusly two-penny nails, makes us die ungenteeU, and with the colic. ' Democratic Platform. The following resolutions were unanimously adi ptid by the late Democratic State Convention. as ftp expression ofthe principles of lhe parly: The Committee on PI at torm and Resolutions made his majority report : Resolved, That the Democracy of the State of Caillornia unanimously endorae and cordially up prove the plaiform ot the Democratic party, as adopted in Die Cincinna i Convention. Resolved. That tlie Detrocracy of the State ol California decidedly and unequivocally advocate aud approve the conlruction ol the Paeillc rail road, as a measure ofthe great,*! importance, not only to lhe Slate Of California, but to the Union af large ; and hereby urge U| on the Federal G-v em me nt and our national representatives ol the Stole, m Mrashingteiv, tht' necessiiy Gf Ur-'ng their most united exertions aiid ulmost endeavors to secure ihe construction of thia truly important work. Rtsoli'i-d, That we hail Willi pleasure the co mencement of the Wagon■ Roads,- believing that they will bring within 'he State a hardy, enterprising and laborious class 01 cit zens ; and wi call upon the General Government to basleu their completion by liberal appropriations; Resolved, That the liberal and enlightened pol cy of our democratic government in opening to the hardy pioneer the broad field of our puhlic lands, as an invitation to his industry nnd enter- pi i»e, has already si-cured the affection oT our ear ly settlers, and that we regard an extension of that policy -o far aa to secure a homestead «very honeBt Pettier, free of charge,'against the vicissitudes of fortune, ns the wisest, most just and most reasonable course which the Ge 'tral Government can pursue; and we earnestly re commend it to the Bei hma attention ol our repre seutaiiveB it Washington. Resolved, That the Democracy of the Slate of California ate in favor of glia* an teeing to every Slate and Territory tbe rights and privileges se cured to them by the cnnstilutton and laws of the country—that for tin m there is neither North. Smith. East, or West; aid lhat duly regarding the importance of the whole as a Union, they, aB a unit of tlie confederacy, will jealously guarantee ihe rights of each individual State. Resolved, That we r commend the utmost economy id the uppri p. iation and disbursement of all public moneys j that we hold all public oflieers strictly iccountable for the administration of the public I'u.ids; that we regard it us a cardinal principle of Democracy, to preserve unimpaind he credit and resources of the State ; and that he who commits ihe slightest defalcation in thiB re' spect, is unworthy the support, and hasjustly forfeited the respect and confidence of the Democratic party. Resolved, That we cordially welcome to the ranks of the Democracy, and receive inlo full brotherhood and communion those old-l ne fflligP and members of other parties, who, regaiding the Democratic party as the great conservative parly ofthe Oidon, now join with us iu the existing struggle to pre.-erve the Constitution. Resolved, That in the nominees of this conven- in we recognise men worthy of our implicit confidence, a d deserving o! our undivided support- aod hereby pledge to them the unauimous vote of the Democracy of Hits State. R'solved, That there ia a radical defect in our ws regulating pre-emptions, whereby the owner of a floating Mexican grant is enabled lo prevent, the seti lenient of a tract of land much larger than ' claims. ResotV'd, That the rights of pre-emptions in is State ought tu be as liberal as obtained in other State', and these rights ought to be secured io settle all lauds not actually segregated as private property. Risolvid, That the policy of government whicli is sought to be established by tho present Chief Magistrate ofthe U ited States, is eminently entitled to onr most beatty and cordial approbation, as truly Democrat.c, and calculated lo secure the pn motion of the best interests of oui common country. Rusolved. That this convention acknowledge a moral obligation to liquidate the existing debt ol Slate of Califtrnia, and ils payment is hereby ree immended. R- solved, That political associations, whetlnr secret or otherwise, based upon religious intoler- ence or exclusion from the exercise of political privileges guaranteed by the constitution »b it is, on Recount ol personal rank or the accident ot birth place, are at once i neons! a ten1 with the spirit of .-ur institutions and a slander upon the liberty- loving and IrLedoiu-disaemiiutiug people of the Union. Rei.il/ved, That we consider the present natu ralization laws ofthe United States in accordance with our free am) liberal institulions, and will resist their abrogation or amendment as uncalled for. illiberal and unjust. Resolved. That the Democracy of Calilornia Will ever support the Constitution a d lawB of the r Stat' and ol the United States, and will ever use iheir utmost endeavors to preserve as acred and inviolate that pricelesH legacy of oui- fathers (.outaim d in tbe Bill of Rights and writ of halnas cot pus.

" Hi Hot I say, what did you »ay your medicine would care?" ■■Oli! it'll cure everything— heal anything!" " All ! well, I'll take a bottle j may be it'll heel my boots—tbey need it badly enough." Eloquent Extract. Gen. Cass concluded his able speech iu the Ser.-1 ale, December llth, ou the motion to pHnt 15/000 copies of the President's Message, in the following eloquent language : Sir. we nre fallen upon evil times, and the existing state of things has given me iuten^o anxiety. I have been' through life a firm believer in the duration—I may'almost say the perpetuity of this Uniou. The hope' has been interwoven with every fibre of my heart. The wish is aa"strong aa ev r, but 1 am sorry to say that my confidence is weaker. I waB born before the Constitution was adopted. I saw the difficulties of Ita'establishment. I witnessed the anxious solicitude which everywhere prevailed. Nothing carried us through the crisis but the feeling or the necessity of a more stable government, and the influence and patriotic exenions of the men who had conducted the coun" try through the toils and trials of the revolution, aud at the head of whom was Washington. Do you believe, sir, that such a constitution could be made and adopted now ? It would be impossible. There would be prejudices to encounter and overcome, and feelings to contend with which would- stand up in the path and mock your effort. Cling to your institutions as they are, for if you lose them you can never supply their place. I bave said that I witnessed the anxious solicitude for the adoption of the constitution. It contains a provisiou that, on the accession of tho ninth State, the new government should go into operation. My native State. New Hampshire had the enviable lot of being the ninth member coming Into the new confederacy. I have au impression of the feverish -atate of the public mind when the fate of the measure was pending befora the convention; and I can recall the relief that was experienced when the result was known. Mr. President, I not only witnessed the birth of the constitution, hut I have seen fhe progress of the country which it has ruled in all tho elements Of power and prosperity. We were a little collection of remote colonies, shut in between the Atlantic and the lakes, unknown to the world, poor, feeble, and almost disunited. We are uow one of tbe greatest powers on the face of tho trlobe; and never since tho dispersion of the human family upon the plains of Shinar was there a people that possessed more material prosperity nor more true freedom thairwe enjoy at this day. May we bo wise enough lo realize all this and hold on to our blessings ! To adopt lhe sentiment of Fisher Ami's, when I witness the contention!) among us, I am filled with apprehensions that, as old as I am, I may yet outlive the Union and the Constitution of iriy country. God giant that no such m sforiune may be in store for me I Taaffk, McCaiiii.l .fc Co.—A rumor gained eir" dilation yesterday to the effect that Taafl'e, Mc- Cahill it Co., wholesale dry pOOdS merchants, hud failed, This is one of the largest and most substantial firms in the city, and il they were obliged to suspend there woulil itideed be cause for alarm. We are happy to state, however, that there was no'foundation whatever for the rumor, and that 'I'aalfe, McCahill & Co. are perfectly able to meet ail their liabilities.— Herald. Fbou Mazat -an axo San Bi.as.—The Mexican cl pper schooner Lord Raglan arrived recently from Sau Bias. We learn that seventy-two rob- ben went into that town and ransacked it, robbed all they could, and killed one mair named llenri- qnez, while defending his property. The inhabitants wore in a great state ol restlessness and fear, not knowing at what moment they will appear among them again to commit their depredations. The same bailed and auimoaity were visible to foreigners, as usual. Colt's Pistol Factory.— On the banks of the Connecticut river, near Hartford, stands one of tile !ar_.e-t armories ever built ty private enterprise—Coil's Pistol Factory. It consists of one main layld'nie;, four stories high, with two wings, ach 500 leet long and forty feet wide, making the wi.ole frontage 1,500, within which is a steam engine of 350 horse power, and near 2,000 petlODI are engaged in the manufacture of Ihe murderous jiver. Colt has likewise a similar factory in England, and one In Russia, the profits from all of them being immense. Such is the result ofa pie invei»tiou made Out little over fourteoa is ago, by a friendless, poverty stricken mechanic. rEHVEiisfc; Amdition.—How common it ia to ueo men attempting to be or todo something that nature never meant them for, .Tames the First tried very hard to be a philosopher, but only succeeded n satisfying "his majesty" that he was a real Solomon." Frederick ihe Great was v ry small is a poet, in spite of his best efforts at verse writ- n^. Ditto Riehlieu. and Jobn Q. Adams. Aa eloquent member of Parliament suppo.-ing that ting "leaders" and speechea must be much the same thing, tried his hind at editing the Times, and— failed deplorably. So it goes ; nobody iB content wilh a " s.ngle string," and yet few can rxcel in more than one trade, art or ca.ll- ,ng. In determining the best fftntse, instinct ia jlten tafer than reason. Swift says, sarcastically ;: "A foundertd horse will oft debate Before '-e tties a five-barred >;aie ; A dog by instinct lurus as do Who sees a ditch lo deep and wide, But man we find the only aruature, Who, led by folly. Combats nature, ind where his genius least inclines Absurdly bends bin whole designs. The Spanish Government have issurd a decree' allowing no ivlig on:; cunlroveri-y. and permitting o journal to make any comment upon the holy Catholic and apostolic laith, or lo discuss the opportuneness of religious duty. Bob W has become a Grahamtte. His doctor ordered bin. to live on a vegetable diet till autumn. He obeys the order by getting drunk on juleps twice a day. Doctors should be more ex- licit, and leave nothing lo conjecture. On ft recent rainy day a wag waa heard to exclaim: ■ Well, my umbrella is a regular Catholic." ' How- so?'" inquired a friend. 1 BeoauDe It alw-jja kse.pa lent!'-' _ULm,
