FAREWELL TO WINTER. BY LEAH LEI. Haste, haste away, cold iutcr. You have tarried now too long, We want to ec the green grass Bpriuj, And hear the wild bird's song, Among the pebbles of the brook The rippling waters gush, Alon its mossy b-.mks the flowcra In gorgeous beauty blush. The birch and willow tasstll, Ard tho ni-ple keys come forth, And the winter snows his homeward, To the caverns iu the North : To see the farmer sally out To meet the rosy dawn, An?, whistling, drive his Uam afield, Aerosä tue dewy lawn. Yet we would not be ungrateful To winter old and hoary, We thank him lor his long evenings, With their pleasant song and story We thank him for the sleigh ride3, .And the merry chime of bells, For the snow-balls and the slatinga And the coastings down the hilis For the irridescent crystals That decked the forests green With jewels bright and ever tawed In crown of k iigVrueen For the treasures of the snow, So beautiful and pure, Like childhood's spotless innocence, Too heavendike to endure. Yes, here's enough to make the heart O'eitiow tith gratitude ; All God has made is beautiful. For all His works re good.

Then it proceeds to indicate a line of policy for his Administration. He declares that, in view of the Constitution and laws,

There may be a separation de facto, temporary or permanent, as the sequel may prove ; but in contemplation of the Constitution and the laws, the (Juion does remain unbroken. I think no one can deny the correctness of the proposition, as a Constitutional
principle. Let us go further and see what there is in the address that is supposed to pledge the
President to a cot-reive policy. He says : " I shall J take care, as the Constitution itswlf expressly en
joins upou me, that the laws of the Union be faith
fully executed in all the States." Tlis declaration is relied upon as conclusive evidence that coercion is to be used in the seceding States; but take the next sentence : " Doing this I deem to ha only a simple duty on my put. I shall perform it so far as practicable, unless" unless what ? Let ussce what, the condition is on the hipp.'ninx of which he will not enforce the laws "unless my rightful masters, the American people, shall withhold the requisite means, or in some other autherities manner direct the contrary." This condition, on which he will not enforce the
mean to say that inasmuch as tho existing laws ful solution, he is pledged to their enforcement ;

The language employed would seem to imply that the President was referring to the future action of Congress as necessary to give him the requisite mean ti enforce obedience to the laws in the seceding States.

gre withholds the requisite means to do so, is he I not to be understood that whether he docs enforce j them or not depends on the future action of ConI gress ? I think that is the proper construction of
his language. In a subsequent paragraph he says : " The power confided to me will be used to ho' occupy and possess the property and places beiwnging to the Government, and to collect the duies and imposts." What power ? Does lie mean that which lias been confided, or that which may be confided ? Docs he mean thithe w'll cieriise the power unless Congress directs the contrary, or that he will exercise it when Congress confers it? I regret that this clause is understood by some persons as meaning that the President will use th w hole military force of the country to recapture the
forts and other places, which have been seized without tke assent of Congress. If eucli was his meaning, he was unfortunate in the selection of words to express the idea. He does not say that he will recapture or retake, hold an! occupy the forts and other places. Nor does he say that he will recommend to Cingress to furnish li m men and money for such a purpose ; but " the pow r confided to me will be used to hold, occupy and possess the property r.nd places belonging to the Government." To say the least of it, this is
equivocal language. I am not goin to condemn him for i' ; my present object is not to censure, but to ascertain the true meaning of the inaugural, in order to learn whether tha Administration is committed to an rggrcssivc policy, which must.
I submit, then, to the Senate, whether the friends of peace have not much to rejoice at in the inaugural address of the President. It h a much more conservative document than I hid anticipated. It is a in nah more pacific an-! conciliatory paper than I had expected I would not venture the expression of an opinion upon it on hearing it delivered, until I had carefully examined and analyzed it. After examination, I am clearly of the opinion that the Adm'nistration stands pledged by the inaugural to a peaceful solution of all our national difficulties, to do nonet which leads to war, and lo chinjre its policy just ho oftt n, and whenever a change is necessary to pieserve the
peace

If, on the contrary, the people AiiW say that they are in favor of the Crito-nkMi proposition dividing the Territory by a geographical line on the principle of an equ" table partition, Mr. I :ncoln savs he will not oppos-3 that He is in favor of such amendments as will settle lhequetion forever, by an espresi provision of the Constitution, and ha leaves the people and their repieen'iatiyes t da via what these amendments shall be, and he will accept them ihc-t-i fully, and not throw a:iy obstruction i t the way of their r.dopiiua. Taking t'ne.e t .v propositions together, I find much cause for hope, for ineouragernent, in his ina-Jguial. First, his policy will be peaceful, and
