"A

By Straws."
eighol dear me! I'd tive the world
Just to be miserable!

That sort of thing to babble:

In m i (1 n i gh t rt v e rie, ?
nt when one is a ''happy man
He goes to bed you see.
I've watched old Ursa M-tjnr round
A quarter oi his course,
Till the last moruing katydid
Had dropped asleep, quite hoarse;
So sweet lb musen rnisntithropc,
With now and then a drink,"
And stand on corners till the stars,
. As well as watchmen, wink!
Heigho! well; as one wpxs old,
.His .'pleasing pains" will vanish;
His finer feelings tddle off,.
And poetry walk Spanish;
He don't stay out till morning and
Then, fearless raise the latchet
He's wanted home, and got to go,
Or else he knows. he'll catch it!
. Uj . .v.-
Yet, still, he is a lucky dog,
His" hopes a 1 1 , gratified ;
A pair of cherubs at his knee,
Ari angel at his side;.
It's very strange hovv hopes fulfilled
Will lead to new exaction,
And how unsatisfactory
i s perfect satisfaction!
Poor human nature! one achieves
What other blindly sigh for,
Then blind, his eyes while gazing on
What crowds would give an eye lor.

Dear Sir I have had the honor to re

I have read thern with great satisfaction,
and do not, in the least, doubt that they
speak also the sentiments of the Democra
cy of the whole city.
Wiihout a more particular notice of the
contents of the Resolutions, in respect o
all of which my sentiments are well unde -
stppd, I content myself with a sing e
remark upon one only of the points they
erdbrace. It is well known ihat the pri;
liminary steps taken by the late Adminis
tration for the annexation of Texas; tlid
not, under the then existing circumstance?,
meet with the approbation of portions of
the Democratic party. Yet you are, in mk
judgment, quite right in assuming th:.t
that measure has been so far constrmmateil
under the sanction of the constituted at
thprities of; both, Governments, as to ren

the .imperative nature of tht duty would
be increased, should our country he invol

of the adoption of authorized measures to
carry into full and fair effect the compact
of annexation. That no such consequen
ces may follow, is, for many reasons, to be
most earnestly desired. Hut if the result
oe otherwise, I cannot permit myself to
doubt that the Administration will, as it
ought, be supported in the pr sedition of
suen a war by the hearts and hands of the

Fossil Rones of the Sea Serpent. The
existence of such an animal as die: Sea ber
pent seems now proved beyond doubt, by
the discovery in Alabama, this year, of the
unpiense skeleton which is now exhibited
in this city, by Dr. Koch, a scientific gen
tleman from Saxony, who has been travel
ling in this country on a geological sur
vey. . This; ske'e'on was accidentally dis
covered in Washington county, Alabama,
by a farmer, in ploughing his land. It w;s
embedded jn a soil lime-tone, or marl
The Doctor heard of it, and wilh great la
bor and expense obtained all the bones.
v hich shovy the animal, when alive, to be
jbouL 130 feet long' It wilj shortly be ta
ken to Kurope. The Doctor says, had hV
cotisuheil only his interest, he would not
nave incurred the expense of putting it up
heie; but he eon.-.idcred it tlue to the coun
try in which it was found, to give its natu
ralists an opportunity of inspecting it, and
we understand that Protessor Mlliman
came here from New Haven lor this pur
pose. This relic is thought to be, without
exception, the largest of all fossil ske.letons
found either in theOld or the New World.
Its length, as now placed, is 1 14 feet; and
its circumference was probably about 24
feet. From the character of the teeth, the
animal did uot masticate its food, but gor
ged it enl irfi. Professor S i 1 1 i m a n , i n a 1 e t
ter of Sept. 2d, says, "there is the fullest
ground for believing its genuineness." We
advise all who intend to see it, to go soon,
before it is taken avay

A band of Murderers. Sometime in
May last, a man named Davis, was enticed
from Hopkinsville, Ky., where he had col

out of the placj hy two persons named
Cisner and Edwaid A. Pennington,
who murdered him, robbed him of the

sink hole; Cisney afterwards rode Davis's
mate over into Tennessee, where it was re
cognized by an acquaintance of t he murder
ed n.an, whose unaccountable absence hail
excited much remark. A threat of being
l vnched, ' extorted fiom Cisney, not on

concealment, of the body, but also that
there has been in existence for several
years, a large and well organised band of

and do not scruphi to commit murder, and
that it expended from Cincinnati to 'Nash

was found, together with two other skele

GREATLY REDUCED PRICE,
From $5 to $3 per annum.
1; SINGLE COPV 25 CENTS.
' . : ,
JPt'ospectus of the near (or. I7tli)
npHEj rice of the DEMOCRATIC
REVIEW has heretbfore been too
high not for its size, cost, and character,
but for the means! of tens of thousands of
readers who would be glad to receive it.
and among whom it is highly desirable
that it should circulate. For the pur
pose therefore, cf largely widening the
range of its usefulness, and of multiplying
the numbers of those to whom it may be
accessible, it has been determined, simul
taneously wilh the great reduction in
the expense of the postage, to reduce its
subscription price also, horn- Five to only
Three dollars; and when several unite in
subscription, to as low as $2 50, or even
S2 SO per annum. -
This very large reduction in the receipts
(accompanied with but a comparatively
small diminution of its expenses) involves,
of course, an entire sacrifice of profit upon
it, unless compensated by a vast multipli
cation of its subscribers. There will be at
the outset only a small reduction in its
number of pages; soon to be restored to
its old number, without increase of price,
when the anticipated success of the exper
iment shall justify it.
The Portraits of Disliiittished Dem
ocrats will be continued engraved in
helter and more costly 6i3Tle than heieto
fore. The Postage will hereafter, for any dis
tance, be only Jive and a half Cents it
has heretofore been, for over 100 miles,
eighteen cents.
We look for an extension of circulation
to be reckoned by (ens oj thousands, as
the result and compensation of this greai
reduction of price. Every friend of the
work, and of the Democratic principles and
cause, is confidently appealed to to exert
himself with ah active interest to procure
it subscribers; both to extend its useful
ness, and to carry it successfully through
the crisis of this great reduction of its re
ceipts. Those who have paid in advance for the
coming year, will receive, it at the reduced
rate for a year and. a half.
TERMS HENCEFORWARD.
Invariably in advance J
Single copyr S3 00
Four copies, 1 1 00
Eight ' 20 00
Thirteen, " 30 00
It will thus be seen that when thirteen
copies are ordered at once, the price is
brought down to about $2 30 each, For
six months, half these rates.
These rates afford high inducements to
agents and others to interest themselves to
procure subscribers.
The Cash system and payment in a$
Vance must be uncompromisingly adhered
to. The past relaxation of it has caused
an accumulation of not far from S40.000
of debts due to the work. Hereafter, this
must be wholly reformed; nor must either
the most eminent political friend, or the
most 'intimate personal one, be displeased
on experiencing its application, in the stop
page of their numbers, if they neglect this
rule; the vital necessity of which, at the
present reduced rates, must be obvious to
all. . ,
No communications will be taken from
the Post Office unless free of postage.
AH communications, both on editorial
and publishing business, must be addressed
henceforward to the undersigned. Those
