'Tie (rile thou hast a. lovely face, A witching smile art gay But time shall furrow" up' that brow, And steals it's charms away. The eye so full of laughing light, Shall dim with age and care; The cheek aglow with health to night, Will pale before despair. And rolling years, and trying scenes Shall cool thy glowing blood, That dances through the youthful veins In frautic, laughing mood. Theu do not lift thy lovely head With proud and haughty grace, Nor cast thy queenly looks of scorn On her of homely face.

'Tis true she hath no stalely tread, No bursting breadth of brow Yet maiden, 'tis in love I speak She's full as fair as thou. She watching, knelt beside me once, When fever turned my brain A Btranger sister, mother, gone I I cray'd their care in vain. Her gentle hand was on my brow Her words of 'tender tone Came to my aching, breaking heart, Dear Mother, like thine own And when my reason came again, And when my step was strong I felt to slight a homely face, Was vile, unkind aud wrong. I learned lhat beauty sits enthroned, In hearts as well as eyes As in the deepest ocean caves, The fairest jewel lies. Then maiden let thy looks of scorn, To kindly smiles gives place.

And tread with meek and humble step, Nor scorn that homely face.

DR. D. BUT! EKFIELD, mb.12 ImB 493 Broadway. the editorial column, it appears that the proprio tors have just procured a new six cylinder press which will print the enormous number of 16,000 copies an. hour, and which they intend to run so as to throw off 12,000.

The Tribune is the organ of large party; that party that is always clear ahead of iho time, and labors for the general refor mation or politics, morals, and things in general. Such a party seems necessary in tho constitution of society, which is always prevented from going too fast by the staid conservatism which acts as a sufficient drag chain to arrdst Ihe too rapid march of progress. The party of reform seems to inherit a legacy similar to that which the old farmer left to bis sons. He told them before his death that be had buried a Ireasuie some where in his orchard, and advised them to dig the place all over to find it. They did so and found no treasure, but the increased fertility of the soil produced by the labor expended in the search, amply repaid them lor their toil.

It is so with the reform party they may not, and will not discover the golden Bub strata they expect to turn up; but by delving at the roots of society continually, they will improve and fertilize it. Old Horace is a rare specimen of invincibility He cannot be killed al. bough he is every day defeated. His armor is like leather beating thickens it and makes it the more impenetrable. He excels the Grecian hern, who was killed because bis heel was not inyulnerable, from being held by bis mother wheu she baptized him in tbe Btyx.

Head and heels of Greely are alike invulnerable. If down in one place ho is up in another, and like a cork in water, you may always expect to find him afloat.

The increase of circulation and business connected with this paper, compelled us some time ago lo dispense with ihe old method of hand press printing and resort to the agency of steam. This change lias enabled us to keep pace with the increasing de mauds of the business community; and to throw off a paper which for typographical perspicuity and nealnessof appearance, will bear comparison with any daily paper in the State. Of the reading which it furnishes we leave our readers to judge merely stating that while we do not veer round with every passing breeze of popular opinion, we ever advocate the cause of sound Republicanism, which is always sure lo find its way to the hearts of the masses in the end.

The increase of circulation and additional advertising pouring in upon us, testify to the position which this paper occupies in the sphere of journalism. Our job printing is also on the increase, and we look upon ourselves as far in advance of all competition in tbe newspaper enterprise of Long Island. State Legislature Fbidat.

Gentry of Tennessee, Mr. Outlaw of N. Walsh of spoke warmly against the whigs of the North. These gentlemen declared that heretofore when there was territory to be admitted into the Uniun, there was some excuse for Northern agitation, but now there was but one question the Fugitive Slave law about which the South feit any solicitude. This was 3 law carrying out an express provision of the constitutiun and the whigs of the South never would consent to act in brotherhood with traitors who desired to tear down the constitution.

On the other hand, Messrs Campbell of Ohio, Barker or Thaddeus Stevens of and Truuiun Smith of Ct opr poeed the introduction of any new issue on the whig platform.

Alb'iny. The House have laid to sleep the Maine Liquor law by a decided vote.

Connecticut has done the business for that law, both in New Tors and Pennsylvania. The Canal bill, which was so sharply contested in the Assembly sleeps as yet, in the Senate. As the whole matter will be covered by the case before the Court ol Appeals, which will be argued on ndayt tho bill has lost much of its importance. The general opinion at Albany is that the Court will decide against the constitutionality of the Canal bill, and sutaiu the Auditor in his positirn not to pay. We trust that a bill will he passed for a constitutional loan to complete the canals, and that the matter will go to the people 'n a regular way, and the enlargement completed forthwith.

U. S. Senate. In Connecticut, where the Democrats have carried a strong majority in both bouscs.lhe question or electinga United States senator, was tried on several limes at the last legislative session, and finally adjourned until after the election. The result of course settles the question in favor of the Democrats, who will now have their own way.

In Rhode Islaud, a Senator is also to be chosen, who will, of course, be a Whig as 11 sual. The New York Evening Post thus exults over the proceedings of tho State convention at Al bany Messrs. Seymour and Skinner, the two State Delegates elect, although both supporters of Gen. Cass in 1848. are n.iw understood 10 be apposed to his nomination in any contingency.

They willgo for the selection of a such candidate as will keep the democracy rf New York united Their first choice is understood to be Wm. L. Alarcy. A Reflection koh Bacheloes Paddy has been making a survey of some of our leading Btreets, and the result of his observation is that there are at least six dry goods stores for one male clothing establishment. The inference is that the ladies, dress some, no matter who foots up the 'bills and whoever wishes to enjoy matrimonial music must prepare to "pay the piper." He thinks the subject is worthy of the attention of the bachelor community.

Assistant Treasurer a this port, is lying dangerously ill at Washington, With a pulmonary a Tom kins Ci.uniy has just chosen auli licenso town officers by majorities ranging from 1C to stistain'the Nine Mulion'xsill tjtfiat Canal Reye nue Certificates to the amount of a million and a half of dollars had been issued, and a loan of $200,000 obtained for the enlargement of the Oswego Canal that he had regarded tho policy of the state irrevocably fixed, and had congratulated the legislature on that fact and that the opinions of our most eminent given before the passage of the law, justified the legislature in believing that it had full power to anticipate the revenues of the canals in order to provide for the immediate enlargement. But a serious question had arisen with respect to tbe authority of the letting board to make contracts for work to be done on the enlargement of tbe canals, without first submitting them to the Canal Board for its approval that the present Canal Board had unfortunately taken no steps to remove the difficulty connected with this question by reviewing and acting upon the conlracts, and that the Canal Auditor, doubtiDg his authori' ty in such a case, had refused to honor the drafts of the Canal Commissioners, and to draw warrants work performed in pursuance of the contracts. The message then proceeds in a strain which will not well bear abridgement: It appears that proceedings have been commenced against that officer to compel payment of a draft thus refused and protested that the Supreme Court has grantee! an order fora peremptory mandamus and thai Ihe whole case has been carried to the Court or Appeals ror a final decision. It is also understood that the questions presented will be argued and disposed of at the present term of Appellate Court, and that its decision will extend not only to the power of tbe letting board to award and execute the contracts, but to the constitutional validity of the law itself. You cannot fail to appreciate the grave importance of this proceeding, and the magnitude of tho interests to be affected by its adjudication.

The great undertaking up in which the State has entered, and which was supposed to rest upon the deliberate approval of the people and their representatives, must now depend upon the action of the judiciary. Novel and anomalous as it may appear, the question of enlargeing the Erie Cauai, a measure demanded by so many considerations of public interest aud policy, and so repeatedly sanctioned by an enlightened public sentiment has assumed the form of a law suit, and the capacity e.f ihe state 10 proceed in Ihe work it has commenced, is reduced lo a question of critical phraseology and technical construction. Whether the law and the constitution shall be interpreted according to the common sense and reason of mankind, and allowed lo operate benehcially to the public welfare, or shall be thwarted by the artificial refinements oi legal subtlety and abstraction, will now be determined by the court of last resort Before that elevated tribunal, composed of judgeB whose capacity impartiality and iudepend eiicce inspire tbe highest public confidence, we may anticipate the result without apprehension. The language of the law to be submitted to their consideration, is plain and distinct. It declares in express terms that the revenue certificates author ized by it, 'shall in no event be so construed as to create any debt or liability against the state or the people thereof, within the meaning of section twelve, art cle seven ot the constitution." Before the act can be construed to create the obligation, which it thus explicitly disavows, we must reverse the ordinary meaningof words and defy ihe clearest principles of interpretation.

Such a conclu. ion would, ot court override! the d. liberate and well considered action of the legislative department. It would be alike repugnant to the public judgment, and disastrous 10 the vital and cherished interests ol tbe state. An abiding confidence in the wisdom and firmness of the judiciary dispels all apprehension of a result so calamitous in its consequences.

Constitutional and legal provisions intended for the advancemen of useful and beneficial measures, have always been liberally interpreted in favor of their ubjects. After adopting a measure, deemed eminently wise and judicious, for completing tbe public works from the means which the constitution has appropriated to that object, and after. the progress which has been made in the undertaking, we canuot abandon the law and the objects it was ioteridedto insure, without renouncing our commercial supremacy, and producing a train of evils which no patriotic citizen could contemplate with composure. It is also due to your predecessors lhat measures should be taken to vindicate their opinions and maintain the rightful action of the law making power, whenever Ihe subject is presented for judicial consideration In contemplation of the momentous interests involved in the final decision of the case, I deem it respectful to tbe Court, and befitting the importance Gf the occasion, that able and eminent counsel should be engaged to appear in behalf of the Stale, to defend the constitution ality of the Canal law. Ample authority is vested in the Executive to 'employ such counsel as lie may deem proper, to assist the Attorney General in any suit prosecuted or defended by him in behalf of the State but that officer has not been connected with the pres.

ent proceeding, and in the event of his omission to appear and sustain tbe law, the provision referred 10 does not sufficiently meet tho exigency of the case. I consider it my duty, therefore, to recommend the immediate passage of an act, authorizing the appointment of such special counsel as may be deemed advisable, to appear for the Stale, in sup port of the law, making provision for ihe payment of a reasonable, compensation. Tho importance of securing an early decision by the Court is obvious. It becomes ind spensable to the efficient and successful prosecution of the work, that the questions which have been placed in issue should be finally eleteimiued. so that all doubts in respect to the rights of individuals and tbe duties of public officers may be removed.

It is hoped that your action on the subject will be as prompt as the, ordinary rules of legislation will permit. Washington Hunt. Albany, April 8, 1852.
