Despair should never find a resting place in the

unworthy the name Of an American, and il a deep

American Republican Principles.
lst. That the elective franchise should be pre-
served pure and interrupted.
I'd. That the term of probation for the natural
ization of oil foreigners ought to be extended to
twenty-one years; and that the proceeding neces-
sary to obtain certificate of naturalization, ought
to be so ordered by law, as to prevent fraud and
corruption therein.
Sd. That do not propose by Legislation to
divest foreigners Of any rights already acquire un-
der existing laws, but that in our opinion the
rights Of citizenship to be extended thereafter,
ought be so qualified to deny to their recipi.
ents the privilege Of holding any Office Of trust
and profit under this government.
4th. That all men have a natural and indefea-
sible right to worship Almighty God according TO
the dictates of their own consciencies. and that
therefore wo do not propose to interfere with or
inquire into the religious opinions of any indi-
vidual.
5th. That the people have the undoubted right
peaceably to assemble, and discuss al: questions
of general and particular interest, and when so
assembled are entitled to protection.

against the admission Of foreigners, or to deny to
them asylum from persecution in our land.

joyment of property, which our constitution fur
nishes to our own citizens. but that we do most
sincerely deprecate tho introduction into this

volving foreign politics or calculated to embroii
u with foreign governments
It'll. That we discountenance all distinctions
between our citizens, founded upon the accident

who arc 50 ssudious to preserve them. and are dis
posed to question the fidelity Of any foreigner of
what party soever no may be. who rejoices in his

Ii is curious fact that Clay received moro

AGO votes less than were cast for Clay. This
fact would seom to Justify the expectation on:er-
tanned by the wings that they could carry the
State for Clay. But VIC have remarked that in
Pennsylvania the locofocos could increase their
vote to almost unlimited amount. Thoy

but except in that instance. they have always

SUNSET AND AUTUMN.

The sun was just settng-a conqueror as he
went down for every cloud that had fitted about
during the day, now gathered on the west, mant-
ling with crimson and gold. There was some
thing trumphal in the rich coloring that arrayed
every object. The vivid green OF the oaks stood
out more distinct amid the scarlet Of the sycamore
and the yellow of the thyme, together with the
rich brown that was covering the chesnuts. The
grass, too, of the park was in strong contrast to
The purple heath that clothed the distance, only
broken by the bossoming furze, which intersect-
ed it like golden sea; faint perfume came on
the air, more subtle than the breath of flow
ers it was like the last sigh Of each falling leaf
that fitted by noseless as ghost.
To me there is no season SO lovely as the au-
tumn There is a gaye.y about the spring with
which have no sympathy: it's perpetual revival
of leaf and bloom is too great a contrast to the in.
ner world, where SO many feelings lilo barren, anc
so many hopes withered. There is activity
about il, from which the wearied spirits shrink
and joyousness which but makes you turn more
sadly upon yourself; but about autumn there IS

YOUTH AND AGE.

There are in existence two periods when we
shrink from any great vicssitude-early youth
and old age. In the middle Of life, we are indf-
ferent to change for we have discovered that no.
thing is, in the end, good SO bad as it at first
appeared. We know, moreover, how TO accom-
modate ourselves to circumstances; and enough
of exertion is still left in US to cope with the
event. Fa s af, II
But age is heart-wearied and tempest-torn it
is the crumbling cenotaph of fear and hope!
Wherefore should there be turmoil for the few,
and evening hours, when all they coyet is repose!
They see their shadow fall upon the grave; and
need but to be at rest beneath!
Youth is not less averse from change; but that
is from exaggeration of its consequences, for all
seems to the young SO important and 80 fatal.
They are tmid, because they know not what they
fear; hopeful, because they know not what they
expect Despite their gayety and confidence.
they yet dread the first plunge into LIES unfa-
thomed deep. MT

FAME AND HAPPINESS.

This earth is no home for the more spiritual
part of our nature-those destined to awaken ouI
highest aspirations, and our tenderest sympathes
are victims rather than votaries of the divine lgh
within them. They gather from sorrow its sweet
est emotions they repeat of hope but its mobiles
visions; they look on nature with an earnest love
which wins the power of making her hidden
beauty visible; and they reproduce the passion
ate, the true, and the beautiful Alas they
themselves are not what they paint; the low
want subdues the lofty will the small and pres
ent vanity interferes with the far and glorious
aim but still it is something to have looked be.
yond the common sphere where they were fated
to struggle. They paid in themselves the bitter
penalty Of not realizing their own ideal but man
kind have to be thankful for the generous legacy
of thought and harmony bequeathed by those
who were among earth's prescribed and mlsera-
BILE. Fame is bought by happiness.
