We hasten to announce through an.cX-
fra slip that the great Central Mass
Meeting yesterday, at Camp Hickory in
the vicinity of Nashville, was one of the
greatest and most brilliant popular gath
erings ever known.
On Wednesday Nashville was Mill
tary Camp. On every road to the city
was to be seer approaching companies,
battallions and regiments, mounted and
on foot, with their bands of music. their
banners and their notices, on their way
to this great cncampnent OF the sofer-
eign people. Their reception by the
city escort; the loud continued and al
most deafening huzza, with which they
were greeted by III citizens who sur
rounded the public square, and literally
crammcd the balconies Of the Nashville
Inn, Tar surpassed anything of the kind
we ever witnessed. The ladies', TOD,
were there. Their white handkerchief
waving from almost every house, and
their bright smiles bcamine from every
window. in approval OF tho magnificent
display. All who could not be accom-
mo1atcd at public and private houses
within the city, repaired TO the Encarnp-
ment Of the People, and there pitched
their tents.
After the lighting Of candles for the
night. the Hon. Thomas +. Marshall, OF
Kentucky. addressed thousands IN front
of the Court House, on the annexation
Of Texas.
On Thursday morning, at day break,
4 national salute aroused us all from ouT
sluInbcrs; the streets wcrcscon crowded,
and the road TO Camp Hickory was filed
with passengers, who continued 10 move
in that direction until eleven or twelve
o'clock, when the great grove of Camp,

From breads inyi,;ns store
But. oh ny :aded flower. for this.
Was thy young being given,
To meet with nousht but wrctchedness,
And Eowns from earth and heaven7
Was this the pledge o: cradled smile
That spoke tho happy dream,
And gave me, worn with pain and toll.
Ofpassins bliss CLEAN?
And yet, u,ayhap, thy fate is bless'd.
And should rather joy q.
That thy young heart the woes have niss'd IS
That wait the poor mans boy
The cold repulse, the CALLING sneeE
That drives to theft and shame;
The madc'nins thoughts, the soul that scar,
The scorn'd and b!ishted name.
O, yes; or haply worse than all.
Thou misht'st have lived to be
A servile, crouohins, Aatterins thrail
At some wealth-dagon's knae.
Than this, thy eyes I'd rather close
On all thou mi sht'st have seen,
All stricken through ith many woes
As thy young heart hath been.
