Farewell of the Soul to the Body. BY MRS. SIGOURNF.V. Companion dear, the hour draws nigh, The sentence spreads to die to die; So long in mystic unien held: So close in strong embrace compell'd. -How canst thou bear the dread decree That strikes thy clasping nerves from mc. To Him who on this mortal shore, The same encircling vestments wore To Him I look to Him I bendTo Him thy shuddering frame commend.
If I have ever caused thee pain, The throbbing breast, the burning brain, With cares and vigils turned thee pale. Or scorn'd thee when thy strength did fail; Forgive! Forgive! thy task doth cease, Friend, lover, let us part in peace. That thou didst sometimes clog my course, Or with thy trifling check my force. Or lure from heaven my wavering trust, Or bow my drooping wing to dust I blame thee not: our strife is done:
I know thou wert the weaker one The vase of earth, the trembling clod. Constrained to hold the breath of God. Well hast thou in thy service wrought. Thy brow hath mirror'd forth my thought, To wear my smile thy lip hath glow'd, Thy tear to speak my sorrows fiow'd; Thine ear hath brought me rich supplies; Of varying-tissucd melodies; Thy hands my prompted deeds have done,
l hy feet upon my errands run: Yes thou hast mark'd my bidding well, Faithful and true farewell! farewell!

From the Ohio Monitor, July 31. Cholera The punishment ol God. with which he is now scourging the iutions of the earth, is fallen upon Columbus! Much mercy is, indeed, ining ed with the punishment! It has been ing
deferred. The rod has long been held
up to view before the stripe has been in
flicted! We have had time to pieparc, so far as human preparations avail, for the pestilence, and avail ourselves of the skill which may be acquired in the sufferings of others. Probably the mortality has been less in proportion to the cases of attack than has occurred in any other place, and some cases as despe
rate, apparently, as any others have been cured The number of recoveries has done much to mitigate the terror usually attendant on this awful malady, but,
withal, it is a sore chastisement: Lieath, in this complaint, appears in all its horrors sudden, agonizing, and awful. Of the fourteen citizens who have died, five died within six hours after they were actually known to be sick, though it is probible that a slight diarrbecj may have nreceeded in all cases. In some, per-
h:i. the most ot the cases, persons oi
eood constitutions and as temperate as
lived here, have neen nurrieu away u i probable, however, that there had been an indulgence in green indigestable vesctabips, or a neglect of the premonitory symptoms, in all cases. A we believe the Botanic method ol ticating the Cholera is far more success ful than any other, we will not be wantinc to the cause of humanity nor to our

testimony, irrclragable testimony ot the truth ofour assertions conclusive proof, that even Ohio, enterprising as she is
independent as she believes herself to
be and intelligent and responsible as her citizens may be held by their fellows in the Union, has come under the West Point yoke. Wc shall take but two simple cases from the many which can be
adduced.
this insiduous and corrupt usurpation o
the rights of the people, or rather, to
blind the eyes of the community, it has
been the practice, now and then, to send
to tho Academy some poor bey, of ob
, m - scure connexions, on the application of some member of congress, (friendly to the institution) whose popularity was on the wane; and he would be sure to make his own account out of it, after returning home. The Sentinel admits that the appoint ments arc made on the recommendation of members of congress. It is generally, though not always the case The President, the heads of departments, and chiefs of the arlfiy have also their
cation are every- where appsrem tba: iho foundation is laid Cor the organization of a separate and distinct crdcr among ii; and that that order must be composed of the children of those men wnom the people have elevated to important stations. Already are they invested witb the privileges necessary to sustain them as nobility, although deprived of the name. Their leading object are, to kiep the poor ignorant ; of this we have evidence sufficient in the fact that they give edu cation to but few of those who rank not, either in power, influence or wealth, with themselves To encoerage peculation and fraud upon the pub'ic treasury for what other effect that system can produce which considers the honor ot a cadet tantamount, nay. superior" 10 tho bond and security of a citizen, than this, we cannot divine. To create end maintain a monopoly of political power in
their own hands, by parcelling out all the valuable offices in the rar.on among tnemselves: thus acquirjr.f as extensive and overwhe'rr.ir.g an influence over tho Working classes is inc robiliiy of Europe. The baleiul and dcstc;atin bles
sings of that influence is wafted, i-i tho gioans of the oppressed, by ete.y brtezo upon our shores. It has fHd England with poor houses watered France with blood polluted the fountains of happiness, and banished peace from the green shores of butchered and degraded Ireland. The same influence has gleaned every corner of creation ran sacked every naiion but to concentrate upon tho derotcd heads of the magnanimous Poles, all its multiplied curses its avalanche of degredation. We now ask the unbiassed reader, if
he conceives our reasons to be based on just principles? Is it no1 evident that our opposition arises solely from the dangerous nature of the institution? The expense incurred i weighty, bui itia nothing in comparison with the vtnaliiyand political profligacy induced by its waste. The intrigue engendered by the eager grasping after office, is ample enough to work out the complete destruction of our fiee institutions. The iavjriti&m
shown, gives lull prool that oihec too frequently is made the pander for tho ni3st debasing schemes of se'f aggrandizement. Ard tin results o the wt olo combined, display an rra ot profligacy, aristocracy, pride, insoJcii e and peculation, astounding indeed to the individual who hs heretofore been uninformed of the nature of the principles upon which the West Poinv Actdt my is bast d.
