A SALT RIVER VOYAGE.
DY SAM. D. rATTErOS.
For the head of Salt rircr' In strength and in pride
The good bark " Dejiocr-.cv "' floats on the tide
Her anchors away her provisions arc stored
And all that he ncets is the pilot on board. -Her
decks are all clean and her rigg)ng all taught
And her crcv men who fear not and will not be
bought-
""And aloft from her mist head her flag is displayed
With the motto " Defeated bet never disjuy-
ed!"
Her commander brave Cass on the quarter deck
stands
And his brow lights with pleasure his bosom ex-
pands. As prouder than victor he marks with dc'ight
The bold hearts and free that he led to the fight.
And BrTiEE is there the chivalric aad true
Whose courage no nuailirg or filtenrg e'er knew
With the same noble bearing tho same eve of fiie
That melting in peace could in bittlc icspirc.

But those snows as they fill could no coldness im-

Tis the veteran Ritciiie tl e patriot who stirred
In the souls of his brethren an answering chord
And awakened the echoes of valley and hill
With democracy's clarion lofty and shrill.
His hands on the helm see the signal is spread;
Oa board one and all ere our bark moves ahead
There's " a good time before us"' and frolic and
glee
Our transit shall mark o'er this wonderful sea.
Captain Jynch o'er the site of dead cities may sail
And the arts and fair science his coming may hail.
But noaght on his log will instruct or amuse
Like the sights we shall see on our Salt river cruise.
Embarked on our voyage out course we'll pursue
Observing each object that rises to view;
Enjoying the prospect but noting with care
Wherever a rapid or rock may appear.
And a look out we'll keep lest the lubbers above
In the heat of their ardor the zeal of their love
Tor the plunder and spoils on cur bows should be
thrown
And use themselves up.in their haste to come doien.
And then the old relics we'll meet on the way
Odd notions and peojrets which flourished their day
But had -'obsolete" grown in whig parlance be-
cause Good reason those whigs could not make all our
laws.
Now whiggery's triumph will galvanize all
And one and another the mighty and small
Of these favorite whims we shall find as we go
Floating down with the tide to tho regions below.

In their might to encounter and vanquish its foes.

Then onward on this the great cruise of our lives;
And whenever we drink to our "sweethearts and

Let us offer a prayer that the Power above

That no spirit of discord may sever the chain

And the banner of freedom be ever unfurled

THE REVOLJJTIoiriTrvTENNA.
from t:ie journal of commerce.
The terrific outbreak which took place in
Vienna on the Gth instant and which resul-
ted in the complete triumph of. the popular
party in that capital was occasioned as wc
have before rcmaikcd by the severe meas-
ures of the Austrian Government towards
Hungary added to the development just
then made by the publication of a secret
correspondence that said Government had
supplied i.'ic Ctoatians with money and other
means of carry ing on the war against Hun-
giry. This war it must be understood is a
civil war both the Hungarians and Croati-
ans being nominally subject to the dominion
of Austya Croatia lies to the southeast of
Hungary proper and was united to that
country in the twelfth century by force
of arms. The population of Croatia is about
014000 and of Sclavonia an adjoining pro
vince which sympathizes nnd co-operates with
Croatia about 350000. The inhabitants of
these provinces are ofSclavonic origin while
that of Hungary proper is chiefly Teutonic.
The population of Hungary -proper is six or
seven millions. It may be seem strange
that so large a population should be invaded
and almost overpowored by a population so
much smaller. But it must he remembered
that the army of the Hungarians was and
still is in Italy with Marshal Radctzky.
their country as consequently destitute of
nalional troops whilst on the contrary the
Croats immediately found the essence of a
regular and perfectly disciplined army in
what arc called the frontier regiments.
Moreover Hungary does not contain any
manufactory of arms or arsenals whilst on
the contrary the frontier counties all mili-
taiily organized found at hand important re-
sources in the depots and the magazines
of their regiments nnd could thus very easi-
ly arm the peasants and volunteers who
came in crowds to join the army ofthc Ban
Jelialich. This explains the facility of their
tirst advantages.
This war between tho Hungarians and
Crotians grew out of the revolution in Vi-
enna in February or March last. That
revolution in a sense extended to Hungary.
and caused tho independence of the country
to be proclaimed under the leadership of
Prince Bathyani-and M. do Kossuth. The
Croatiajis and Sclaronians thereupon took

sixty complete suits once the defensive

is certain that of all the reforms of our rev -

inust be the abolition ot the titles ol nobility.
Aristocratic prejudices arc as flourishing with
them as they are extinct with us. There arc
no more nobles with us. All Spaniards wish
and pretend to be gentlemen; in this respect
it is impossible to sec two nations differ more
essentially in principles and opinion. Louis

Gen. Taylor's BiRTiintT. Yesterday
the President elect attained his sixty-fourth
year.having been born on the 2lth November
1731. There was considerable jollification
on the occasion among the guidiiunM and
admirers ofthc General. The old hero him-
self spent the dav in St. James with his old
friend. Col. Nicholas formerly ofonr Senate.
Col. Nicholas was among the first to nomi-
nate Gen. Taylor offering a resolution to
that effect in "our State Senate. Col. Nich-
olas was subsequently placed on the Taylor
clectoriil ticket but declined serving when
the General received tho nomination of the
Whig Convention. This fact has not. how-
ever interrupted the warm intimacy which
bus existed foe many years between the two
gentlemen. Delta.
Political. Mr. Winthrop. Speaker of the
United States House of Reprcsontativcs has

This nomination was at first declined in ac-
cordance with a previous intimation publicly
given but for good and suflicicntreasons Mr.
Winthrop has reversed his decision nnd has
again though very reluctantly after nine
years service in tho House of Representa-
tives assented to tho nomination"

(N. B.)aud Halifax papers record a supris-
ingly sudden and unaccountable rise and
flow ofthotideat those places on the 25th
of September: "AH at once the tide ran out
of the harbors In about 10 minutes more
it ran in again and rose very high and con-
tinued rising and falling alternately every
ten minutes or so n'eaTly all the afternoon.
Some of the old people say it was something
like it was the year Lisbon was destroyed.
A similar occurrence took place at Catalt-
