gust next The result of these elections will be
looked for with no little sOlicitude. as it will fur
nish pretty accurate test Of the state of public
opinion inthe " est in regard to the approaching
struggle for the Presidency.
In Kentucky, the Governor is elected every
fourth year: and. as the term of Governor Met
cafe will expire in September. both parties have
already buckled on their armor to fight the bat
tie manfuly. Judge Buckner is the candidate
of Mr.. Claws friends, and Mr. Breathitt. of the
Jacksonians. We have the most positive assu-
rance that the triumph Of MI. Buckner is certain.
In Indiana, the political complexion of the
next General Assembly becomes important from
the fact, that the election Of United States Sc
nator for the term Of SIX years. will devove upon
that body. We trust. that Mr.. CIay's friends
will not commit another such faur pas as they
did last winter. BY eIectns Jackson man. when

Oh! for my bright and faded hours,
When life was like summer stream,
On whose gay banks the virgin flowers
Blush'd in the mornings rosy beam,
Or dapc'd upon the breeze that bore
lis store OF rich perfume along
While the wood robin poured OH air
The rayishing delights Of song
The sun LOOKED from his lofty cloud,
While flowed its sparkling waters fair,
And went upon It's pathway proud,
And threw brighter iustre there
And smiled upon the golden heaven,
And on the carth's sweet loneliness,
Where light and joy, and song were gwen,
The glad and fairy scene to bless!
Ay, these were bright and Joyous hours,
When youth awoke from boybood's dream,
To see life's Eden dressd IN flowers
While young Hope bask'd IN mornings
beam,
And proffered thanks to heaven above,
(While glewed his fond and grateful
breast,)
who spread for him that scene OF love,
And made him so snpIemely oiest
That scene Of love where hath il gomez
Where have its charms and beauty sPread9
My hours of youth that DER me shone,
Where have their light and splendor fled?
into the silent lapse OF years
And am left on earth 90 mourn
And am left to drop my tears

Yet. why pour forth the voice of wah,
Ger feelings blighted coronag
Ere many gorgeous suns shall Ian,

And shall soon bid life adeu.
