OLD BALLAD.
Give place, you Indies nil,
Unto my mWtress fair,
For none of yon. or great or sninB,
Can wilh my love compare.
Ifyoa would fcnow her well,
You ahull her now behnM.
If any (ougue al all may tell
Her beautyJ manifold.
She in not high nor low,
Hot just the perfect height,
Below my head, above my heart,
And then a wand more straight.
She i nor full nor spnre,
But just as she should be,
An armful for a god, f wrenr
And more she loveth mc.
Her shape hath no defect,
Or nunc thai I can find,
Stirh us indeed you might expect
From so Wvll-lbroied a mind.
Her akin not black nor white,
Hut of b lovely hue.
An if enured fty delight;
Yet she is mortal too.
Her hair is nottoo dark.
No, nor I ween, too light ;
It is u hut it ahorjld be; and mark
li iileikieth me outright
Her eyes nor green nor gray,
Nor like the heavens above ,
And more of them what need I say,
I yfv nut mi
iy Her fool
pi' And w
nut mey look and ovc 7
not short nor loncr
hut may more surprise, f wrontr
Though some, perchance, may think mc
'Tia just the fitting eize.
Her httnd. yea, then, her hand,
With fingers large or fine,
It is enough, you understand,
1 like it and 'lis mine.
In brief. I am content
To take her aa nlie is,
Ami hold that she. by henve.n was sent
To make complete my blunt.
Then. Indies, all give nlnre
Unto my mislrcsa fair,
For now, you know so well her grace,
You need mutt all despair.

THE UNION.
The London Standard, enumerating aoine
imaginary causes of disunion of the United
Stales, sayB :
' To this, which may be regaxded as an
inert gagse of separation, more active repug
nance are added the Northern States are,
in great part, manufacturers the Southern
States exclusively ngricu.'ttiral. The North
ern States are wisely resolved to protect
tlteir manufacturing industry, by high
tariffs, and being sufficiently agricultural
to supply their own want, thcjnrc wholly
independent of tho Slates of the South,
upon which States the high tariffs of the
Northern States recoil with injurious effect.
Thirdly, the NorthcWiStates have abolish
ed slavery in ll eir own territory, and are
manifesting a strong disposition to compel
the Southern Slates to abolish it also The
people of the Southern States, however,
have lorigtelreved thnt, to einnncipat their
slaves, would throw their land out of culti
vation, nnd render it perfectly worthless.
We may believo that they are mistaken in
this opinion, but questionless, the late prac
tical proclamation of the British Legisla
ture, that slave labor cannot be dispensed
with in hot climates, must tcnJ powerfully
i to confirm this opinion in those once pos
sessed by it Meanwhile, the abolitionists
of the Northern Plates ,-ue as violent and
. : i . . n" c I
as intolerant as ever 'u, u"i utnmvn ui
the righteousness of abolishing slavery has
ndver for a mmnenl, wavered. We believe
that the Creator has destined all the earth
thai he ha formed for cultivation, and that
lie has destined all his rational creatures to
freedom . we, therefore, cannot admit that
there is any portion of the world, least Of
all the richest portion of it, thnt can becnl-
a' at."
tivated only br slnve; ana u our aooimon
have failed to any extent, wbtc'.i we doubt,
the failure is, we nre satisfied, due to the
neglect of raising the West Indian negroes
lo the rank of rational bemgs, oetore ma
king them free agents. But though our
opinion of the righteousness of the aboli
tion of slavery has never wavered, we
are bound to confess that the last few
rears have greatly modified our optn
ton of ' abolitionists.' These few years
have proveo that at least three fourths of
those who most loudly clamored for 'ernan
cipanpn,' in 1 53 1 and' lt?32, were nothing
belter (Uuakcxs included) than disgusting
hypocrites men who coxed nothing for the
happiness of black men or while men, or
anything but their personal popularity or
personal profit As men are not found to
improve by crossing the Atlantic we must
fonehide that th proportion of honest and
good men amonar ,,' abolitionists' ir the
Northern Huitcs ia not ttreater than it has
proved among our own 'abolitionists,' and
if such be the , case, or, thearoo thii) Jf
the Southern republican! ktieyaf after
example they wclL tnajr)'.auch to Le ihe
case, they must feel insulted as welt as
endangered, when threatened, as they ar
by their northern fellow-cituerm with ,a
compulsory of slavery
We give the above specnlntiont that our
renden may aee how much these educated
ami talented men, an Iondon editors are or
might to be, know of the world whkh they
inhabit. It seems ,aa if everything eouM
find its way ncrosg the Atlantic ocean but
facts. Emigranta of all classes, convicts,
cockney tourists and British manufactures
can get here, and our cotton and some
other products can get therr hut the tailing-vessel
has not yet betfn launched, nor
trie steam-pacKet bunt, whtcn ha conrty-
d to bngland a rational idea of thte cotfn
try, of its institutions, pf its character, of Its
capacity, or of ita prt)ect More than
evenly years have passed since our coun
try became independent, and started on
that caieer of freedom and greatness which
i destined yet W throw it broad shadow
over the mins of the British Empire ; and
till, to this day; the writer and statesmen
of Great Hritnin have pronounced it a 'Jo
nah's gourd,' ring in a nighty and destined
to perish ere morning. Day has pasted
after day, and the 'gourd' has not wither
ed j month has passed after month, and it
has become more green nnd strong ; year
has followed yenr, and it no longer looks
like a feeble vine, dependent upon otfrer
objects for support and elevation, but has
become n great nnd glorious tree, the mon
arch and the pride of the forest, striking its
rools deep into the generotls earth, and in
viting beneath its broad branches, the op
pressed of every clime. Yet, still its down
fall is predicted with a3 much 3WaI aV(5)
cnty years ngo. Still, disunion, and ,Ctvil
war are tho burthen of British tongues
Still they are talking of our downfall, for
gc.tipg all the time that, while we are
Itrogpeioua and growing and happy, tho
very reverse is" their own confrilion. Let
them look at the storm which is gathering
over their own ship, instead qf straining
their eyes lo sec if our Republic will not
go down. Englishmen talking to ;the
Americans of the end of thoir government !
It u like haggard and decrcpid Age, with
one foot in the grave, running its finger
over the smooth anlosy cheek of Youth,
and mistaking its joyous dimples for the
furrows of decaying life, and its healtbul
flush for the hcciic of consumption.
Our wiso London paper mentions among
the "active repugnances" of our unfortu
nate country the fact that "the .Northern.
Stales nre, in great part mamrfactarera
the Southern States, exclusive agricultural
Now, even admitting this to be true, we
should regard it as a buid of nion instead
of an entering wedge of disunion. If all
our Slates were manufacturing, or all ag
ricultural, there would b a fatal collision
and conflict of interests, but when there ia
a diversity of employments, and one pdrtion
makes bread while the others make cloths,
we should consider it an arrangement
which would be 'found quite convenient
and comfrtrtable for both parties. L.V one
section wehav5 sugar, in another' 'corn,' in
another cotton, in another 'manufacturers,
and the only.rcsult produced is a mutual
dependence, leadeing to a mutual union.
We admit however, thai there is no reason
to prevent the south from becoming a inan-
lfactunng country nnd supplying ber own
w.tn s ih clothing as well as food, but even
then, our ingenious Yankee friends will
not desert us on thnt account. They will
find oul some new branch of enterprise and
energy, in which to retain ibeir old and a
clneve niw prosperity.
As to the subject of slavery, to which
the English paptr refers, that is u a horse
of another color " But the "Standard" is
as far out in it facts as it is possible even
for an English writer to be in any thing
that concerns this country. The Northern
States are not manifesting a strong digpoai
