Mr.. HUNTER Of Virginia, 1t will be per.
ceived from our Congressional report, is
elected Speaker of the House OF Repre-
sen,ativcs Mr.. HUNTER has never acted
with the Northern Wings, and his avnwed
political principles arc in direct corlr,
with theirs at every point He was, how
ever, taken up by them al the close of the
vnting to-day. and being supported by a
portion of the Democratic party, was cleo
lex! by a vrtc Of one hundred and nine
teen, out Of two hundred and lhrty-lwo
votes. 1t vii! be observed that Mr. Hun
TER did not, on any occasion, vote for
any of the Wing candidates for Speaker
Mr.. HUNTER is the grandson Of JOHN
TAYLOR Of Caroline, one OF the sternest
Republicans Of his time, and leader
among the founders Of the Virginia school
of politics. We trust that the descendant
will emulate the rcnown of his great pro-
genitor, an not dsappoint the hopes of
that portion of the Republicans who gave
him their confidence.
Both Messrs. JONES and LEWIS, who
were the Democratic candidates, acted
throughout the contest with great delicacy,
and, in turn, magnanimously withdrew,
upon ascertaining that they w"nld not
unite all the Republican votes. Although
ueIhcr Of the Administration can 'idates
was elected, it was solely because there
was want Of unanimity in the Democrat
ic ranks The highest Wing vote was
one hundred ard two for Mr.. BELL; and,
subsequently, one hundred and three for
Mr.. DAWSON, twelve scattering. The
highest Democratic vote was one hundred
and thirteen first fnr Mr.. JONES. and the
same number afterwards for NJ. LEWIS -
with eleven scattering in the last Instance.
As last resort, the Opposition vote was
cast upon gentleman, whose principles,
! as we bcfure observed, are diametrically
opposed to all their doctrines. and whose
concurrence with the Administration upon
all the great questions of political contro.
vcrsy is notorious.-Glo5

A RIDE.

| During the Revolutionary War, when
corpse of the American army were
oncampeh near the b'rnugh Of Eli,
zabcth.on, in New Jersey. an officer. who
was rather more of dcvotre of Venus
than Of Mars, paid his addresses tn a la
dy Of distinction whom he was in the ha-
bit of visiting nightly, in the cultivation
Of lhose kind feelings which love corr
daily inspires. On discovery Of the
cause Of the repeated absence Of the off
Ger end of the place where his interviews
with his Ducinea were had, some wag-
gish friends resolved 10 play off hand
some trick at his expense, which should
deter him from repetition Of his visits.
The officer, it tapprars, rode very small
horse, Of the poney kind, which he al
WAYS left united. with the bride reins
over his neck. in order tn mount and ride
off without delay when the business of
! courling aud kissing was over; and the
horse always remained until backed by
the owner without attempting 10 change
his position. On certain very dark night,
when the officer had as usual gone to pay
his devoirs to the object Of his affections,

THE PILGRIM FATHERS.
By REV. J. PTERPoNT,

By KEW. ]. hEkkONT. .......s
The pilgrim fathers-where are they2
The waves that brought them DER
Still roll in the bay, and throw their spray
As they break along the shore;
Sill roll in the hay, as they rolled that day,
When the Nav.FloweF moored below,
When the sea around was black with storms,
And white the shore with snow.
The mists, that wrapped the pilgrims sleep,
Still brood upon the tide;
And his rocks yet keep their watch by the deep,
10 stay its waves OF pride.
But the snow-white sail that he gave to the gale,
When the heavens looked dark 10 gone
As an angels wing, through an opening cloud,
Il seen and then withdrawn
The pilgrim exile-eainted name
The hill, whose icy brow
Rejoiced when he came, in the mornings flame,
In the mornings flame burns now. :.
And the moons cold hight, as it lay that night
On the hillside and the sea,
Still lies where he laid his kouselsss head
But the pilgrim-where is he 2
The pilgrim fathers are at rest:
When Summers thfoned on high,
And the world warm breast 10 in verdure dressed
Go stand on the hill where they lie.
The earliest ray of the golden day az
On that halowed spot is cast;
And the evening sun, as he leaves tho world,
Looks kindly on that spos last
The pilgrim spirit has not fed:
1t walks in moons hroadllight;
And it watches the bed of the glorious demd
With the holy stars, by night.
1t watches the he'd Of the brave who have bled,
And shall guard this ice.bound shore.
Till the waves of the bay, where the May Flower lay
Shall foam and freeze no more.
