baoting, yesterday, in the legislative convention.
Two tickets were nominated--thc one a union,

Governor Lincoln, in his speech TO the Legisla-
ture, says, The circumstances which have at
tended the late Elections such as to constitute
the strongest pledges to fidelity, in regarding The feel
inss and sentiments of our constituents. The
of former jealousies and divisions having been re-
moved or ceased to operate, the spirit of party has
yielded to that of personal Cancellation and conf
dence. The union which is manifest, has re-
suited from a conviction, that the honest and
patriotic OF all parties have but common interest

The democratic sscendency was never more de-

in what estimation the attempts made, in high

Tn childhood, beautiful, blooming and gay,-she
sported among the venerable oaks that shaded her
fathers dwelling, full Of life and animation rising
in the morning with the expectation of happiness,
and laying her head upon her pillow in the even
ing rejoicing in the fulflment of her hopes. Low
ed and caressed by all who knew her, her young
heart in return expanded its affections to admit all
who came and thus she grew to womanhood.
Her relations in life changed. Her parents
had died and left her their only child comparative
ly wealthy She had become wife and mother.
The husband of her choice was endowed with eve
ny faculty to make woman happy and never'was
willing to be happy than Lucy May.
The son of her love gave promise of virtue and in.
tcgrlty as well as beauty and call things bright
and fair" were hers.
Then came the hard hand of disappointment hea-
Wy upon her. The first uneasy thought that cloud
cd the fair heaven of her life, arose from some
mercantile losses of her husband but these were
but as :" vapour which appeareth for little time,
and then vanisheth away" They shaded her, only
they deprived her husband of happiness; and
thought of them more. But the pride of the mer
chant wounded, and would not allow him to re-
trench and regain his former amount of property
but impelled him to risk his all upon an uncertain
enterprise, which left him--pennyless Even here,
the equanimity of Lucy never forsook her. for

Have not loving husband Have not, (press-
ing him to her bosom) my lovely boy Have we
not all good health Why then should we not be
happy :" Alas her loving husband was seduced

he died The good character of Lucy had gained
many friends, and she not at loss for respecta

life, the poor boy had not received the customary

THE BROKEN HEART.
! never heard


Of any true affection, but twas nipt,
With Care, that, like the caterpillar eats
The leaves Of the springs sweetest bud the rose.
MIDDLETON.
1t is common thing to laugh at all love stories,
and to treat the tales of romantic passion mere
fctons of poets and novelsts that never existed in
real life. My observations on human nature have
convinced me of the contrary, and have satisfied me
that however the surface of the character NAV be
chilled and frozen by the cares of the world, and
the pleasures of society, there still is warm cur
rent of affection running through the depths of the
coolest heart, that prevents its being utterly con-
gealed Indeed, | am true believer in the blind
deity, and go to the full extent of his doctrines
Shall confess it Il believe in broken hearts, and
in the possibility of dying of disappointed love
do not, however, consider it a malady often fatal to
my own sex; but firmly believe that it withers
down many a lovely woman into early grave.
Upon this position the author makes some very
pertinent remarks-and further to illustrate the sub
ject, finally closes with the following pathetic story
Every one must recollect the tragcal story of
young E****, the Irish patriot, for it was too touch
ing to be soon forgotten. During the troubles in
Ireland, he was tried, condemned and executed, on
a charge OF treason. His fate made deep impress
sion on public sympathy. He was so young-so in.
telligent-so generous-so brave-so every thing
that we are apt to like in young man. His con-
duct under trial, too, SO lofty and intrepid The
noble Indignation with which he repealed the
charge of treason against his countryside eloquent
vindIcation of his name-and his pathetic appeal to
posterty, in the hour of condemnaton-al these
entered deeply into every generous bosom, and
even his enemies lamented the stern policy that die
tated his execution.
But there was one heart, whose anguish it would
be in vain to describe. In happier days and farer
fortunes, he had won the affections cf beautiful
and interesting girl, the daughter of late celebra
ted Irish ba1rster. She loved him with the disin-
terested tervor OF womall's first and early love-
When every worldly maxim arrayed itself against
him when blasted in fortune, and disgrace and
danger darkened around his name, she loved him
more ardently for his sufferngs If then. his fate
could awaken the sympathy even of his foes, what
must have been the agony of her whose soul was
occupied by his image Let those tell who have
had the portals OF the tomb suddenly closed be-
tween them and the being they most loved on earth
who have sat at this threshhod as one shut out in
cold and lonely world from whence all that was
most lovely and loving had parted.
But then the horrors Of such grave, so fightful,
