CHILDHOOD. Bv 11. Howard. We come to being from the niht, A coniet'i forth the morning lijht; . The woild is beautiful and ne-, Tiie taith i filed with flowers and drv; Blius loudly sing on wing and spiay, And we uiore merrily than they.
We gatliti strength, we lun, we leap, l'iud joy in every thing and sleep. With mirth and beauty hand in haud, We take possession of the land : Life then, is surely not a breath What Ihcri has life to do with death? A mother's love, her smiles, her teats, Are with us in those blessed years; The seeds of fond affection sown lay o'Jlh, that strong in age are grown ; Love, that in part her love repays, tier solace in declining days Warmth, liht inage wintry gloom, XVir furs, sneet blossoms to the tomb. Th.cn knowledge comes with manhood't noon, With care and sorrow all too sooa. The springs of mystery aie unsealed, Wlme'er was hidden is revealsd : A common vision is the Eprinj; The rainbow it a common thing; Ti e morning and the suiiFft skies Aif jazed on with familiar eyej; The icijn of wild delight is o'er, And the bright eauh is heaven ro more !
PATERNAL AFFECTION. Br Barsv Coin wall. The foi lings of a parent, regarding ft child in a daujcoious sickness, are beautifully expressed in tLe following stanzas : Send down thy winged Angel, God Amidst this ni;;ht ( wild, And bid him come where now we w atch, Ar.J bieathe upon our chilj.

TIIE BANK QUESTION. From the National Intelligencer. If there be any one principle in Government more sacred than any other, it is, that, in every formof Government, the sovereign
ty resides in the body of the People. In the monarchies of Europe, the principle is practically acknowledged, though in theory denied. Kings take care to hazard no important movements without having the People on their side. If the monarch errs only in
his judgment as to their opinion, the plea of
error will not avert the consequences. e have seen this singularly illustrated in the yet recent description of Charles X. by the
People of 1 ranee; and all America applauded the Revolution, which was the consequence of that Monarch's listening to evil counsel, in opposition to the wishes of the
People. The time has gone by when a King would dare to tell the Representatives of the Peonle in the Parliament of England, as James I. did, that all their privileges were derived from his grant, and that, therefore, his will ought to be the law to them. There, also, the People arc Sovereign, and now know their own rights : through their Representatives they give law to the King, in
stead ot his wilt being the law tor them.
It it be true, in genera!, that the people of
a country are sovereign, it is emphatically true in the Government under which we
have the happiness to live. The Constitution of the United States confers on certain officers and bodies of men, selected from the People in prescribed forms, various powers, which they exercise independently of the People, for certain periods. To Congress is given the power to make . laws, for enu
merated purposes, and to the Executive a qualified control over that power. This controlling authority, better known now by the name of Vt ro, is that power by which alone the Cabal expect to compass the downfall of the Bank of the United States. Thev
have no other reliance on which to found I ll s bound to respect ?
their calculations of success, than their confidence that the President will oppose his single voice, on this question, to that of the whole body of the people, as expressed through their Representatives. The President has done it once, the)" argue, and he
will do it again. Whether he will, or will not, we shall not here inquire. Our busi
ness is not now with the President, but with the Cabal. Under their importunities, an agent has been appointed to treat with the State Banks, who presumes so far on success from the manoeuvres and intrigues of the Regency folks, as to declare before-hand in effect, that the Senate and House of Representatives go for nothing in the Government. Their opinion is of no consequence in the matter, one wav or other. The Go-
rcrmncrity the Agent intimates, has settled the question. ; What may be the decision of the twollouscs
of Congress on this subject, when they com together, can at present only be conjectured. We know very well what was the opinion of the last Congress on this subject. We know that the elections which have most recently taken place indicate a change of opinion among the People, where any change is perceived, decidedly favorable to the Bank.
e do not ourselves doubt that a majority m both Houses of Congress will be opposed to the wanton destruction of the National Currency. On this point, the Cabal arc of our opinion ; and they arc now engaged, might and main, justifying the President, by anti-
cipation, m nullifying the willot People, by
mote the happiness of society. The objects
for which our Government in particular was established, arc written in the face of the Constitution itself. The People of the United States ordained and established it to form a
more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity. These arc the objects, to effect which Representatives,
senators, and Presidents, arc elected by the People. These are the objects towards which all the aims of these officers should
be directed. These arc the objects towards which all the action of public agents, and especially of the Executive, should tend, in all matters in which they have to exercise a discretion. Though these ends of good
j government had been less plainly enumer
ated, or the Constitution had been silent upon the subject, the duty would not therefore
have been less imperative. Power is conlidcd to a Chief Magistrate, whether King or President, only to be exercised for the public good. Such a public agent has no right to consult his own pleasure in the use he makes of power confided to him. In the use of so tremendous a power as the Veto,
especially, he ought to purge his breast of
every thing hkc passion, or personal feeling, w hich might master or mislead his reason. It becomes his duty to take counsel,
not from flatterers, parasites, and secret cabals; but to repel and resist all such influences, by whomsoever attempted to be ex
ercised. In a case like that of the Bank
question, which has been several rears un
dor the consideration of the People, and in w hich the President himself appealed from Congress to their judgment antecedently to any of the clecfions for members of the Congress which has to pass upon it, can it bo doubted, that the judgment of the two Houses, w hatever it may be, ought to be regarded
by the Executive as the moral law, which
It is quite possible
that the President would so regard the mat
ter. But it. is very certain, if he follow ed
the lead of the Regency, or the counsels of his Cabinet improper, he would disregard the impression of the public will, and set him-
:self Sovereign over the people. W hat a
King ot England would not dare to do, i.nd what a King of France lost his crown by attempting, three years ago, the. organ of the
Albany Regency, in the article which has
now charging interested and mercenary mo
tives upon all w ho dare to oppose their project, for pulling down the Bank because they could not corrupt it. If they had succeeded
in their practices against its integrity, and so converted it into an instrument of Rewards and Punishments, we should have had no opposition in that quarter to a renew al of the Charter of the Bank. We should have
had no Veto upon it either; for the Presi
dent would have been persuaded of the great
value, ami, indeed indispensibihty ot the In
stituticn, by the very persons who have artfully and insidiously wrought his mind into
a prejudice against it.

nccts from the President ol
States. I The suggestion which is thrown out by the Argus, that, because the People have re-elected General Jackson, they have expressed un opinion adverse to the Bank, is too preposterous tole argued. It is utterly
disproved by tacts. Ihe State ol Pennsyl
vania, for example, gave Caen. Jackson by a large majority, the unanimous electoral vote for the Presidency : in the same State, it is certain that both her Senators, and a majority of the Representatives in Congress, are opposed to the views of the President concerning the Bank and the Currency. But "the Democracy of the country feel it a solemn duty" to put dow n the Bank. So says the Argus. We have already show n
that the reliance of the Cabal is upon the
Veto of the President, annulling the w ill of
the People. This is the Democracy of the
Albany School, lhis encroachment ot Lxe

their present test of Republicanism. Say, ye Republicans, who understand the meaning of term, are you ready to embrace the doctrine of the Spoils-men? Or will you adhere to the faith, as understood and delivered bv the Fathers? "As soon as the Govern
ment was put in motion," said Mr. Jefi krsox, under date cf June 27, 1S13, "the line of division was draw n. We broke into two parties, each wishing to give the govern
ment a different direction; the one to strengthen the most popular branch the other the more permanent branches, and to extend their permanence." Who are they that now endeavor to "strengthen the more permanent branches,'1 of the Government? Are they the Democracy of the country ? Are they Jefcrsonian Republicans? Arc they Republicans of any sort? No: by their workslf you judge them, whatever they may call themselves, ihey are Monarchists at heart. For they would clothe our elected Chief Magistrate with power, practically exceeding that of any hereditary monarch,
in those Governments with whose institu
tions and history w e are most familiar. It is not true, then, that the Democracy of the
country desire the Bank to be put d nn by the President. But it is the Cabal, the Regency, Kitchen Cabinet, or call it what you will, who flatter themselves that they are the keepers of the President's conscience, and can mould it to their will. It is they who arc making war upon the People's Bank. It is they w ho arc now applying all their energies :nd all their conning to lasten on the mind cT the President the impression, that the People will approve, hi rejection of a Bill for extending the Charter of" the Rink, should Congress present, one for his signature.

OPOSSUM HUNTING IN INDIANA.
Fiom an unpublikhed work about to be issued in the
W est.
One dav, as I w as leisurely riding along
through a heavily timbered district, I came
suddenly upon a lad apparently between ten and twelve years old. I had passed no house for many miles, and could see no 'clearing' in any direction around me. I w as surprised to find a mere child alone in such a wilderness. I dismounted and approached him. He stood at the ft xt of a
dead tree, from a hole among the roots of
w hich every now and then issued a treincndious growl. He turned his eye upon me for a moment, as I nearcd him, and I was
struck with the intelligence of his countenance, and his apparent indifference at the
I approach ot a stranger, lie had a certain
waggish lookj and on the whole I was satis
tied that he had seen travellers before, and that notwithstanding his youth he knew
perfectly what he w as about. lie was armed w iih a long stick, or pole sharpened at one end which he was very dextrously, but most unceremoneously, thrusting into the hole whence proceeded the terrible grow ling that had at fust arrested my attention. "What have you, my boy?" inquired I, after surveying him for a moment. 'A stick, if 1 know,' replied the urchin, turning up as quizzical an eye as can be found in a thousand, and then giving the occupant of the hole a trcmendious punch, w hich brought forth a growl that made tlie
woods reverberate. 'And a pretty sharp one too, if I know,'
I responded I, smiling. 'But what have you
treed?'
'I have a "possum holed, replied the bov,
giving a second arch look, and anther tre
mendous punch. 'I should rather think you had him hahcjj' said I, stooping down and peeping into the burrow. 'Do you belong in these here parts?' asked he, eyeing me attentively, though with something of a leer, as before. 'I do not, sir.' 'You're a traveller, looken at the land,' specten to purchase, if I know,' continued the bov.
'Specten to purchase. It cannot be the
imp of a band of robbers, thought I, w ishing
to sound my purse. But 1 almost immedi
ately replied, 'A traveller though not on a
land speculating tour, it 1 know.'
iV.tn nnl'n It, flirt tl-Wl.le ' T
1UU ill; VI IlltU AA KLIKy HWUCj A IU H said he.
'I never did. But how do you know that?1
'I think so. And you never hunted 'pos smus?'
'No never.'
'I thought that too. Why," he continued,
dropping his pole, and assuming a look ol
some importance, 'wtien you've been as long in these here backwoods its me, you
won't talk of halving a "possum in its hole.
They've more lives than a cat, and I might stand here till harvest and punch, and be no better. Wait a minute or tw o, and I'll show
you how to hole a 'possum a little the slick est.'
Saying this, he took a large jacknifo from
one ot his pockets, and an arrow head flint from another, and heaping together a few
pieces of punk, or dry rotten wood, he struck, and in the course of ten minutes had a "pret
ty smart' fire kindled at the mouth of the
'possum's hole. This, he said, was for the purpose of "smoking him out." Pleased
w iih the boy's activity, and the almost man
lincss of his every action, I seated myself at
a short distance, to watch his movements.
"The tree may burn, and your horse may
get scared and break away, if I know," said
he, "and you had better look out."
But before I had time to look around, a
large possum galloped past me. i lie young ''lloosheroon. however, was close in the
rear and the animal's flight w as soon stopped
for no sooner did it feel the weight of the bov's stick, now that it had emerged to the
light, where its movements could be seen, than it dropped down, and keeled over on its side, to all. appearances dead. "That w as a well aimed blow, my hoy,'' said I. "But it han't done much, though, if I know ;" said lie, with a knowing shake of the Iwnd. "Why, you have killed the animal," said I, "and what more d-j yt u want'?" "I w ant to Adre it," replied he, not for-
tctting my witticism, and with an arch smile, which I did not exactly understand.
"And it you 11 hold it bv the hind-legs for
a moment, I'll show you how we do these things back here."
1 assented, though not without some fears
of his waggery, and he again w hipped out
his jaeknile but the blade had hardly found
its wav through the animal's skin, when I
Hung the opossum over my head to the distance of twenty feet, aad jumped nearly as
far in the opposite direction. 1 lie truth was I soon felt the animal's cold tail against my wrist and looking dow n, saw its jaw s extend
ed and its back curved to a degree that would soon have brought its mouth in very close neighborhood with my hands. I thought it best to get rid of such a dead charge, as soon as possible; and "in less than no time," as the young lloosheroon would say, I and the opossum were something like a distance of forty feet apart. The bov had anticipated the result and seizing a
club, he hounded after his enemy, and soon brought it back again, "as dead as ever."
He turned round, and enjoying a hearty
laugh, at my expense apologizing, however,
by "sposing I'd pardon him, as it mought
have been dead. ' And, though 1 was not ignorant of the character of the animal,
dead, 1 certainly thought it was after re
ceiving such an unniercitul punching and such a blow as the young Hercules had given it when it emerged from its hole. "I presume it is dead now," said I, again approaching? "As dead as it was afore, if I know," answered the boy. "Why these here things has fifty lives, and will sometimes run after their heads are ofi". 1 understand managing 'r-i Ti-r 1 1 ttOOfrll nnil lT 'Oll mn lifir !
hurry, and'll wait a leetle bit longer, I'll show you how to kill 'em. "But this is certainly dead," said T, turning it over two or three times with my f xt. "As dead as it was afore, and I'll show you, if I know," replied the boy, as he moved off in ihe direction of the tire he had kindled, to "smoke out" the 'possum. He soon returned with a live coal stuck in a split stick, and opening the jaws of the animal, he forced the fire into its mouth, and held it there till the dead came to life, and began to scamper away again.
1 now expressed mvselt satished that it
was not dead, and he quickly pursued and
overtook his victim. Again it was stretch
ed upon the ground, and the young lloosheroon began his preparations for i's execu
tion. He cut a forked limb from a sapling, and sharpened the prongs. This he placed over the opossum, one of the prongs on each side, and driving them into the earth, thus
confining the animal so that it could not pos
sibly escape, lie then took his jacknite and
proceeded with great deliberation to sever the animal's head from its hotly. Its struggles were great, but availed it nothing; and
in a few minutes it was not onlv halved but
quartered too, and its different parts were
scattered over the ground.
It was near night and I accompanied the
youth to his home, which was alwut a mile
distant from the scene of the preceding ex
ploit, where 1 was made comfortable till tlie next morning. I thought the little fellow had performed quite a heroic action, worthy of being recorded, as illustrative of the character and habits of the hackwood's 3"outh.
His parents, how ever, seemed to look upon it as common affair; and his mother chid him th;H 'he had not taken an axe with him, instead of going and butchering the animal so unmercifully."
he fled, and his victim, divested of almost every vestige of her clothing, dragged herself to the nearest neighbor and gave alarm. In a few moments the whole vicinity was in pursuit. They chased the heartless, infernal monster into the forests of Monroe, where he was surrounded and taken. Ho denies not the crime, but only wonders how
the woman could be such a liar as to break her word, when it w as only on her promise of secrecy that he spared her life. Compared to this brutal whelp, Clough appears virtuous and noble. He had the charity to put his victim quietly to rest. The monster not
only gives his a thankless existence, but
would have rendered that existence still more burdensome, by loading her with a disgraceful, soul-sickening secret Yet his
punishment is only imprisonment.
HORRIBLE AND DISTRESSING OUT RAGE.
It has never fallen to our lot (says the Berkshire, New Hampshire, Advocate) to record a transaction, at once so revolting in its nature, so disgraceful to humanity, and so harrow ing to the feelings of friends, as one that lately occurred at Rendsborough, Vermont. For several days previous to Saturday, an idle, transient man, whom no one knew, had been loitering about the place. Sometime during the day, a Mrs. Ames, the wife of Fisher Ames, Esq. and
the mother of a highly respectable family,
came into the village to transact some busi ncss at one of the stores. Having purchas
cd a few articles, she got on her horse and
started for home. She had not proceeded far when coming to a hollow in a small piece
of woods, she was beset bv this stranger
man, pulled from her horse and insulted with the most infamous proposals. In a lone and unfrequented spot, beyond the reach of human aid, she found herself dependant upon her own feeble strength to resist this merciless, fiend-like monster. Though he presented a knife and threatened her with instant death, she nevertheless resisted, and it was not until after an hours struggle, that nature became exhausted, anil she sunk insensible to the earth. Even after he had perpetrated bis hellish purpose, and his victim was vet writhing in his brutal fangs, he
presented his knife with the intention of
finishing his brutal work, py putting an end to her existence. She summoned all her remaining strength, and in the name of her innocent and tender babes, she implored her execrable destroyer to spa re her life. To this, he finally consented, on condition that she would not reveal the affair. This done,
NULLIFICATION. From tho Louisville Herald. Although the proclamation of the President, and the compromise bill, so happily devised by Mr. Clay, have dispelled tho storm which threatened to burst upon us, there are some restless spirits, who for their own selfish purposes, and their own personal views, are willing to throw the country once more into confusion. The spirit of Nullification is still abroad in the land it
is still manifest in South Carolina, and is spreading its contagion to other States. In the ''Old Dominion," it appears to be gain- . ing ground, and we regret that amongst its advocates, we find some of those w ith w hom we cordially united in endeavoring to arrest the march of Jacksonism. Should these politicians succeed in rendering odious tho sound and wholesome doctrines of the Proc
lamation, and in establishing in public opin
ion the doctrines ol nullification, of secession, and of State rights as held by tbemr then mav this country bid '"'farewell, a lono-
k'rew cll to all its greatness.'' Instead of being an united, prosperous, and happy peo pic, with the star spangled banner, the symbol of union, waviricr over ihn riroorl rnnn.i.
lie of the United States, the melancholy spectacle will be presented of a disunited people of petty states, standing upon their sovereignty, but torn and rent by conflicting; interests, petty jealousies and imaginary wrongs. Nothing can hold us together but love of country, and a firm and abiding faith in the principles laid down in the document above alluded to. This we firmly believe, x and believing so we will endeavor to maintain them. No people on the face of the earth havo greater cause to love the country which gave them birth, or which yields them protection, than the citizens of the U. States. They have a country with almost every variety of climate abounding in every thinothat can make life desirable, and a government of their own choice, based upon tho principle of equal rights. For fifty years w e have seen our republic glorious, happv, and prosperous, enjoying peace at home, and respected abroad; advancing in agriculture, commerce, manufactures and improvements
of every kind. Although a dark spot is visible in the South, and some restless demagogues talk of disunion, still if love of country prevail and pervade all classes if dispeople feel that Our country's w elfare is our first concern, And who promotes it best, boat proves hisduty -then may our institutions bid defiance to internal as well as external enemies. Our political controversies have been better, but as yet we have only waged a war of worcV May we never wage any other! May our present free and happy government bo transmitted unimpaired to the latest o-encra-i . l i .
uon, anu m tnc language ot the patriotic, Drayton, may the star spangled banner continue to wave over free, happy and United States, till time shall be no "more ! Such should bo the language of every patriot; such the hopc3 that should swell the bosom of every American, of every man who acknowledges our soil as the land of his birth, or the land of his adoption. With such sentiments the palmetto Hag with its single star will be reared in vain, und all the efforts of the nullilicrs will prove abortive.
Who is the Father. Nullification seems to be the 'child of six fathers.' At the late anniversary its paternity was ascribed to Mr. Calhoun, Governor Hamilton, Mr. Jefferson, Dr. Cooper, & c. Ike, and some havo traced its pedigree to Mr. Madison. Tho latter gentleman, however, indignantly disclaims all connection with the illegitimate bantling, and we arc of opinion, that, in a few years, all the other living gentlemen w ill be equally as anxious to 'wife' the foul stain from their dishonored brows.
