THK EMIGRANTS FAREWELL.
Adieu, my nalive land, adieu!
My friends I hid farewell to you
Alas! I feel how dear thou art.
And grieve to think how soon we part.
Though I no longer with you slay,
I'll thi nk of you when far away;
Vnd I most from this land be gone,"
For Texas has for me a home.
Rehold proud Santa's banner wave,
OVr the slaughterM Texian grave;
Hehold the gallant Texian band
Wrench the standard from his hand.
And dash the bloody traitor down.
And tread his laurels to the ground.
"And I must from this laud begone,"
For Texas has for me a home.
"And whi be ye," that cannot feel
Over a patriot bosom steal
A fond pulsation fir the fate
Of that young but giant state;
Which sprang as from enchantment's hand,
Into a free a id happy land.
And I will "from this land begone,"
For Texas has for me a home.
Yes, Texas, thou hast charms for me.
Thy son are noble, brave and free;
Unlike a sordid seivile set,
Who set their s-uils at nought to get
More "yellow gold" I think a cent
Should be their watchword fir content.
So I will "from this land be gone,"
For Texas has for me a home.
Nor is the thirst fnr fame the cause,
(That brealli of fools ihe world's applause,)
W hy I do seek a foreign land.
Ami fly the cruel haunts of man;
Ay, 'scape ihe poison of some hearts.
Deep skiilM in scandal's mystic arts.
Why I will "from this land begune,"
Now Texas has fur me ?. home.
But 1 do seek that brighter clime;
here the vine and wild rose twine,
Into a sweet and lovely bower,
That gives the voice of love the power
To soothe this weary heart to rest,
Upon a soft and rosy breast.
And I will "from this land be gone,"
To seek that fair and happy home.
Yet once this heart was bleak and lone,
Like some mute lyre without a tone;
"As some lone bird without a mate,"
This "weary heart" was "desolate."
Tills eye was dim, this cheek was wet,
My brightest star of hope was set;
But now I'll "from this land be gone,"
For Texas has for me a hornet
As some lonely wretch forlorn,
Without a hope, a friend, or home;
No, not one friendly eye to cheer
The throbbing heart or chase ihe tear;
Without one remnant feeling dear
To a heart chill blight and drear.
But now I'll "from this land begone,"
For Texas has for me a home.
But now methinks there is forme,
Some happy land where I may he
Eufreed from all that can molest,
Or torture still a wounded breast;
With some bright cherub by my side,
Some hallow'd being for a bride.
And I will "from this land be gone,"
For Texas has for me a home.
Yes, I will try a land of flowers,
To pass a few delightful hours;
I'll revel in the sunny smile
Of all I love on earth the while;
An! as I breathe the balmy kiss,
I'll dream away a life of bliss.
And I will "from this land be gone,"
For Texas has for me a home.
And who that dear lov'd one will be,
Is not for vulgar eyes to see;
And what her face, her form, her air,
Is not for fools to know or care.
Suffice it she is bright and fair,
As some sweet spirit of the air.
So 1 will "from this land begone,"
For Texas has for me a home.
Once more, friends, a kind farewell,
Thy names within this heart shall dwell
As long as ihese life pulses beat,
Ay, long as mem'ry keeps her seat,
Still treasur'd in this soul shall be
Those sweetly shades of memory.
And I will "from this land be gone,"
For Texas has for me a home. OSCAR.

THE PAPER MONEY PARTY.
The party which deserves the above ti
tie has now been in power one year, and
certainly have done more to degrade the
moneyed character of the redera! Govern
ment, than ever was done by any parly in
any Government upon earth in the same
length of lime. Hy repealing the harri
money clause in the Independent Treasu
ry, resuming the system of deposites in
local banks, thereby making their notes
Federal cunency, although in a state ol
suspension in three-fourths of the States ol
the Union, and profuse issues of Treasury
notes, thev have now got to the point of
exclusive paper money currency, and that
depreciated. The Federal Government
now pays nothing hut depreciated paper;
and instead of retracing its steps, ana get
ting back to the currency of the Constitu
tiou and of the world, no less than three
pi ins are now before Congress to perpetu
ate ami exiend the paper money issues, un
I til the Government is as completely swam
ped in it as the Revolutionary Congress
was swamped in continental bills. The
three exchequer plans are all paper money
plans. 1 hey are all contrivances to fabri
cate paper, in violation of the Constitution,
to the ruin of morals and the disgrace of the
Government. I he Government is now
disgraced. It is making forced payments
in depreciated paper, and the people have
submitted lor several months. Hut sub
mission seems to be at an end in somequar
lers and it is seen in New York that the
depreciated Treasury notes are refused to
be received at par, and that Government
payments have stopped there in cass
where the creditors are strong enough to
contend for their rights. In the face of
this disgrace, the Administration, instead
of reclaiming the land revenue, persevere
in squandering it among the States, anri
riemanri a new loan of three millions to
prevent a new deficit of that amount in the
ensuing two months; also demand the priv
ilege of celling Treasury notes under par,
and push on their insane, unconstitutional,
and vicious plan of permanent paper money
currency through a Federal exchequer
bank. These are the things for which
hey still contend; and surely such people
are doomed! It must be doomed men
men condemned to destruction who, in
ihe face of all this disgrace, can still fling
away the land revenue, and call out foi
more taxes! more loans! more Treasury
notes! and a permanent supply of exchequer
hills from their grand piper manufactory!
and in the midst of the whole, demand the
privilege of selling Treasury notes under
par! Tnis is a disgrace which this Gov
ernment never reached before; yet Whig
ery Ins brouhgt us to it in the short space
of one year, and that not in i state of war.
but in a state of universal peace through
out the civilized world! And this is Whig
cry which was to carry on the Government
for THIRTEEN millions! and which was
io give the country the blessings of a
SOUND currency! This is Whigery, anil
this the end of its promises! Instead of
III I U IE EN millions it is TH I RTY-ODD
millions: instead of SOUND currency for
the whole Union, the Treasury itself has
nothing but depreciated paper, and forces
that upon such ot its creditors as are too
weak and feeble to defend themselves from
Government tyranny. The lantt revenue,
if recalled, and the specie feature of the In
dependent Treasury, and a tythe of that e-
conomy which was promised before the e
lection, and never thought of since, would
restore the disgraced finances at once. But
what can be done with doomed men? Who
can make the blind see, the deaf hear, the
senseless understand? Who can reform
Wh igery? The thing is impossible; and
therefore, Whigery must go on . squander
ing away the land revenue, taxing and bor
rowing, making paper money, and calling
for exchquer banks, until the people can
get at them and terminate all their follies.
Treasury. We see by the New York
Herald and the Journal of Commerce, that
the conduct of the present Administration
in giving away its revenue from lands, and
augmenting so lavishly its expenses, has
ed to a lurther depreciation of the public
credit.
Treasury notes have fallen to one and
two percent, below par. No loans can be
effected, and the creditors of the Treasury
cannot obtain either specie or its equiva
lent for their demands. They are thus o
bliged to sustain losses and make sacrifices,
or lay out of iheir honest debts and inter
est on them.
The Dank of Commerce, also, the pet
depository, has, it seems, refused to take
I reasury notes in payment, and the Gov
ernment drafts are to be asain protested.
How this is, in point of fact, we know not;
but we ask the official gazettes here and
the country ought to have the whole truth
if the Secretary of the I reasury did not
yesterday write to the Committee of Ways
and Means, admitting, in substance, the
truth of all this? And did he not also pro
pose the last desperate shift of a spendthrift
in private or public life, instead of retrench
ment and a recall of the public lands so
recklessly given away, the sale of the Gov
ernment stocks at any loss, at any depre
ciated price that could be got for them of
shavers, sharpeis, of brokers?
We pause tor a reply. to.
The Bankrupt Jict. In the New
York list of bankrupts no less than5VAiy-
wo applicants are classified as "gentle
men" and in the schedules which they de
liver in, there is generally a nulla bona
return with respect to every thing except
wearing apparel. Of this there seems to
be a goodly quantity, many of the gentle
men having on them a rich supply of
broadcloths, silks, fine linen, &c. at the
time they apply, and having at home a
wardrobe ivorlh thousands; but besides
wearing apparel rightly so called, it seems
that jewellery, and gold and silver orna
ments for the person or dress,' are also
claimed by these gentlemen as wearing ap
parel, and sometimes to the tune of lei.

taxed to their wits' end to decide

niceques ions. I he following is a
pie in the New York Dis-trict Court:

which were conidereri indispens ible to

render of the bankrupt's tfikcts, leaving
with him such as he considered proper.
If the bankrupt or Ihe creditor ft It agneveJ
by the assignee in this roped, thev were
at liberty to present the case to the notice
ol the Court. With a view to obtain a
special decision from the Court on th sub
ject, Mr. Campbell objected to the jewe I-

Judge oetis will probably g'e viws
this forenoon.
"Gen. Sanriforri stated that he hail a sim
ilar case, and was of opinion that j-wellei y

' This ;s an impoitant subject; several
of the petitioners staling in their schedule

wives previous to their mairiair, That of
Mr. John II. Cosier, for instame, in dia

&c. Truly this Mr. J. H. Coster is to be
pitied. A bankrupt with ten thousand
dollars' worth of diamond rings, &c. and
of course ten thousand dollars more of
wines and other small items. Our farmers
in the West mpst be astonished al leading
of such bankrupts, and more so, to read of
a judge who can take it gravely under con
sideration whether ten thousand dollars'
worth of diamonds is, or is not, a part ot
the wearing apparel of the family. After
that we should not be surprised to hear the
same question raised as to wines, and
whether a cellar of old selections to the
tune of five or ten thousand dollars was not
a part of the provisions of the family and
as such to be retained b the bankrupts.. .ib.

the lollowing remarks in reference to
subject which is attracting much attention:
Hut the whole secret of this alarming
increase of East India cotton, is the si mpk
fact that the Chinese market has been bro

whole surplus of that article, and that con
sequently, its price has been reduced to the
very lowest; but a verv low price, as all the
