MR., STOKELY'S LETTER.

We lay before our readers today an
excellent letter from the Hon SAMUEL
SToKELY, the faithful representative Of
the jefferson district, in Congress to a
portion Of his constituents who had for.
warded to him their memorial for an in.
creased tariff on the Importation of for.
eign goods. We do so. because the
facts and suggestions contained in that
letter are OF interest as we'll to the peo-
pie OF Ohio at large, as to the individuals
to whom the letter was addressed. And
we cannot dismiss the topic without ex
pressing our qualification at the mode
adopted by Mr.. SlokoIy for presenting
his views to his constituents, viz: BY
a circular letter instead of speech -
There are 237 members of the House
of Representatives. Supposing then
that each member makes one speech
only, Of one hour IN length, during the
session, (and some members are on their
feet almost every day) a large portion
OF the session Of the House would be oc.
cupied in making speeches to which
nobody there is listening. The object
is, to get those speeches into the news
papers, that they may be read at home
In other words--nine lenths OF the Con
gresslonal speeches, which consume SC
much time, are made "for Buncombe,' =
Mr.. SokeIy has set the better example
of putting his views in print, and for
warding to such as may wish them, {
copy. Thus the intercourse between
the Representative and his constituent,
is more direct, more satisfactory, anc
maintained without a needless sacri
flee of the time of others. We COM
mend the letter Of Mr.. Stokely to the
attention of our readers-and his exam
pie to his fellow memhers.-O. S. Jour

TO THE OFFICERS OF THE LATE
WAR, IN OHIO.

Gentlemen:
II is probably we'll known TO you all,
that a meeting was held in this city du'
ring the last winter, composed OF our
brother officers from different parts OF
Ohio, who we're drawn here on particular
business during the sitting of the Leglsla'
ture, and that in a full and free consuIta'
ton with each other, among other things,
it was agreed, that State Convention, TO
be composed of those who shared in the
suffering and difficulties of the last war
should he holden in this place on the 4lh
day Of July next.
The undersigned Is In the receipt ol
several letters from his old associates 10
arms within the past few days, some o.
whom intimate the necessity Of their at
tendance upon tho extra session OF the
legislature, which is to convene during
the last days of July and others, that they
desire TO be present at the military en-
campmert, which has been postponed IN
til 9Th july.
Under a full conviction Of he necessity
of delaying our proposed conventions
have ventuIed, as one wbn feels very
lively interest in the subject, to sugges
to our friends throughout Ohio the ?Io
priely Of adopting later period for tn
meeting agreed upon. A difficulty OF n
little magnitude has arisen, however i

From lie LnnispiNe Journal.

Here is another exquisite poem from
the heart OF our fair friend Amelia. -
Il is worthy TO be associated with the
most beautiful productions Of the age;
THE GOLDEN RINGLET.
Here is little golden tress
or soft unbraided hair,
The all that's left oil loveliness
That once was thought SO fairj
And yet, though time hath dimm'd ita
sheen
Though all beside hath fed,
hold it here, link between
Ny spirit and the dead.
Yes, from this shining ringlet still
A mournfuI memory springs,
That mets nv heart, ahd sends thrill
Through all its trembling strings,
| think Of her, the loved the wepl,
Upon whose forehead fair,
For eighteen years, like sunshine slept
This golden curl Of hair.
Oh, sunny tress! the joyous brow,
Where thou dldst lightly wave
With all Thy sister lresses, now
Lies cold within the grave.
That cheek is Of its bloom berelt,
That eve no more is gay:
OF all her beauties thou are left
A solitary ray.
-Four years have passed, this very June.
Since last we fondIy met
-Four years. and yet 1t seems too soon
To lei the heart forget
Too soon to let that lovely face
From our sad thought depart,
And 10 another give the place
She held within the heart.
Her memory still within my mind
Retains lis sweetest power;
1t is the perfume left behind,
To whisper ofthe flower.
Each blossom, that 10 moments gone
Bound up this sunny curl,
Recalls the form, the look, the tone
Ot that enchanting girl.
Her steps was like an April rain
Ger beds of vlolets AUng;
Her voice the prelude TO a strain,
Before the song is sung:
Her life, twas like half blown flower,
Closed ere the shade of even;
Her death the dawn, the blushIng hour
That opes the gate Of Heaven
A single tress! how slight thing
To sway such magic art,
And bid each soft remembrance spring
Like blossoms in the heart!
1t leads me back 10 days Of old
To her loved so long,
Whose locks outsbone peI!ucid gold,
Whose lips o'erfowed with song.
Since then, I've heard thousand lays
From lips as sweet as hers;
Yet when strove 10 give thempraise,
only gave them tears.
| could not bear, amid the ihrong
, Where jest and laughter rung
To hear another sing the song
That trembled on her tongue.
8 A single shining tress Of hair

: But, tears are on its Iustre-there
