All was done, and as th files of motionless men, stood on that field, fresh with nature's fondest gems, who can tell the deep current of various feeling that flowed in the hearts of that warlike assemblage. There they stood, the cool and matured bravery of the veteran, side by side with the fair haired boy, on whose check the down of incipient manhood had just eprung -in whose young heart throbbed the daring blood; the sunburnt check and flashing eye of the South, by the Saxon form and features of tho Northern states; all good men and true, and though hundreds of miles were between their native spots of earth,

Washington, finding that they were almost alone among the British, who were rallying upon them, turned bridle, and said to Edwards, "Come, my good friend, it is our turn to run," put his horse to speed, and sent his complimenis to Colonel T , by a fugitive whom he spared, and bid him say he would be happy to see him at any other time. The Americans rem lined upon the battle ground that night, and buried the ghastly relics ot' the fight. It is a sad thing at any time to sec the cold and crumbling form from which the m tving spirit has departed; even when death has laid his hand calmly and quietly, it bears an awful impress; but when the glorious frame, lately proud in strength and beautiful in action, lies lopped, disfigured, convulsed; stained with the life blood clotted upon the writhing features, yet wearing the grim and fierce look which death has fixed there, or livid with incipient decay, gashed, pierced Oh! all the comeliness, the sad beauty of death, is gone. It is a sight to rise up in one's dreams.

This it the great and primary oljcctof tho Whig parly, to which every thing else is admitted to be secondary. It is also admitted that tho only means by which this signal good is to bo achieved to the country, by rescuing it from the selfish domination of tbe spoilers, is by concentration upon a single candidate in op;nsition to the present incumbent, at tho next election for President. The principle of ejecting a corrupt party from power, and of savin g ihe country from its farther abuses, being thus obviously paramount; are tho means wo may say the soic mcou?, of accomplishing that inestimable good, so evident what secondary circumstance in reference to men, thou Id be permitted to weigh as a feather againiii it?
