FOR THE OHIO DEMOCRAT.

'sTANZAs, TO MISS E'''"
Tis not that hopes fair orb;Isse
Dance in anticipation,
That bids mo pen these sentiments,
In strain OF alteration.
Nor while my pen sport Ger this rage
Does aught to me imply;
That you will render in return,
The tribute Jf sigh.
'NIuch's yet unsung. ,the Minstrel said,
And sure the Minstrel knew;
Therefore well pleas'd my dormant harE
string. and sing to you,
Give ear, though hGarse the numbers are,
Yet warm the heart that sings,
And black he evry flattsring line
That wakes its gentle strings.
But Ali the cold affected world
Spurns every tender theme;
Aud clangours of disgust are hurl'd
Against the poets dream,
If should sing of tears, the gay
Wonld smile at such a song;
Enthusiast! each one would say
Led by magic throng.
Is such thine cwn.-Echo says no.
And no, my heart replies,
Thine aspect shows penslvs star
That points TO miller skies;
Se,encly hangs eau ecu4 veil
Oh graces mild and meek;
Enamelllng the veStal charm
That glows uroathy cheek.
No frivolous laugh Of folly's train,
Can lure thy modest care;
Nor anxious seems thy placid mind
Such unreal bliss to share;
Nursed in thy bosom's downy lap
Quiet each virtue sleeps:
Like moonbeams on silver d lako,
W! 20 love retIros, and weepS!
Emotions, Heaven horn must Inspirs
A Bosom like thine own;
And sorrow in thy confidence
Would Iull ITSELF and sweoD.
If Elou hangs on fanry's heights,
MehlnKs thy soul might rise;
Where pleasure waves its magic wand
Meath cloudIess, halcyon SKIES
These be thy o,-ihe JOYS that spring
From friendship, Hope, and love.
Contrasted with the jarring world
AiVuIture and Dove
But cease my muse the pleasing theme,
A kindred heart would WOO,
And lot expressive silence still
The mystic train pursue.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION I!
THE VICTORY IS GLORIOUS.
$500 Vyllig gIaiority.
From the Hartford Couran.


We have the proud satisfaction OF an
nouncng to our readers that Connecticut
stands Grm--hcr sons are true to them
selves and their country. Yesterday our
annual election for state officers and mem
bers of the Legislature took place, and
the returns brought us by our expresses,
arc of the most cheering character. The
Wings have swept the state by large
and increased majority, and carried both
branches of the Legislature. Our ma
ioritv for Governor is not less than
4SCN. OF the Fl Senators, we have
carried 10, and more than two-tllrds OF
the House olRcprescn;atlvcs. Consider
ing the character of the foe we had to
contend with, what they had at stake,
and the means at their disposal, we have
achieved one of the greatest political tri-
umphs ever known. The Importance of
the result was we'll understood by the
party in power at Washington, and they
made desperate effort to recover their
ground here. Their presses tcemed with
abuse, and falsehoods the most barofaccd
and wicked-and not only were those in
this state, who were dependant upon
them for office, active and untring in their
exertions, but of1ice-holders from other
States we're sent among us to lecture our
frcemen on their political rights, and in
struct them how to vote. This attempt
at interference with our opinions has met
with most signal rebuke. As an evil
dence that the party considered all at
stake they had on their handbils, put out
on election morning, the imposing words
"THE LAST EFFORT"-thus ac-
knowledgng, that if they were defeated,
al was lost. This is confession which
should be borne in understanding to
their own admission, the Locos are down,
and do not expect TO rise. The battle
was fought on the part of the Wings,
under the broad banner of"HARRISON
AND REFORM" and our brethren
throughout the Union may rest assured
that Connecticut will 90 for the Hero of
Tippecanoe next fall by at least G00O
majority.

Shall we have any? No. Why d?
Because Mr.. Van Buren, does not regard
the boundary question as one Of sufficient
importance to hazard war upon, and
because he has not got the nerve and en-
crgy for it, i, were necessary. As Gen.
Jackson said OF Mr.. Madison, che can
not look upon blood and carnage with
composurc." In addition to this, he has
proposed to the British government a new
arbitration of the whole matter, which
will doubtless be accepted; and the last
Ogdensburgh paper informs us, that a
letter received at that place from Silas
Wright, Jr. says, positively, "there will
be no war on this subject" This may
be considered as official.
