The NATIONAL NoMtNATIoNs.-The ex-
prcsslons OF several OF the leading demo-
cratic press OF the country, which we have
given in the Daily and Semi-W eekly Ar
gus, and OF which there are many vet to
follow, show the spirit of the democracy
We do not doubt that it will be aroused
throughout the Union, and that ii will come
in with potency that will as,onish and
overwhelm Conncry, its schemes and It's
gasconade.
The indications are that we shall sweep
the South and West. The Union, which
rarely reckons without its host, promises
"a round 10000 majority in the keystone
state; and we have little fear that Henry
Clay, the Bank, the Bargain. and their
federal and coon auxitiuries can overcome
the Democracy OF New York, or of the
eastern democratic states.
! In this state, the nominations ere re-
ccived, every where among the Democra-
| cy. with approval Concerning that next
TO their own choice, no man could be mo 70
acceptable than NJ. Polk, and that throug..
him and his associate Mr.. Dallas, they as
scrt the principles for which they have
con,cnded, they will be found among the
foremost in arousing the friends OF the
Cause 10 the magnitude and importance Of
the contest.-Afbmy Argus.

The event, Of the last week have shown
a self sacrificing devotion to the advance
ment OF the Cause on the part OF Demo-
Gratis, that is matter of profound sratIhca-
ion. We scarcely ever recollect more
united front, from Maine TO Louisiana,
The Democratic Party now present 10 the
wings of the Union. The nominees ofiEe
National Convention are sustained cordial
Iy, zeaIously and vigorously. There is no
falier-thcre is no despair. The prospect
of sweeping, the South and the West. gives
a nerve and a hope to the democrats OF the
Northern and Eastern states, which is one
hall of the labor OF the whole campaign.
1t is but few days since, the Democratic
tiag was run up, and yet change IS al
ready percepiialc The enthusiasm among
the masses is rising: The large ratification
meetings at Washington, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Newark. New-York and Boston.
are at once IA earnest OF the preseRI, and
still more, Il promise for the future,
The wings, who at first afftcted to think
lightly of our nominations, will soon per
ceive that rs usual with them they have
und=r estimated the currents among the
great mass Of voters. AID of that union,
energy and deep sarnesrness which springs
up, magc-like, among Democrats when
their standard is unlurled for the campaign.

five miss them below, we SHAH h'ee' ''''-
The departed the departed
They visi, as in dreams;
Ashley glide above our memories
Like shadows over streams;
Ri where the cheerful lights OF home
Ii con slant lustre burn,
The depaned--lhc departed
Can never more return!
The good, the brave, the beausfol-
How dreamless is THEN sleep,
Where rolls the dirge-like music
Ofthe evsr-tossing deep:
Or where the mournful night winds
Pale winters robe have spread
Above their narrow palaces
In the cities Of the dead!
look around, and fee! the awe
Ofone who walks alone
Among the wrecks offoFmer days,
In dismal ruin saown;
Islart to hear the stirring sounds
From the leaves OF wlIhered iTeei,
For the voice OF The departed
Seems borne upon the breeze!
Tim, solemn voice it minglss with
Each gay and careless strain;
IscaIco can think ear,h's minsuelsy
Will cheer my heart again.
The glad song of the summer waves,
The thrilling notes of birds,
Can never be SO dear 10 me
AS ,heis remembered words.
I sometimes dream their pleasant smiles
Still on me swoetly fall;
Their tones Of love family hear
Ny name in sadness call;
I know that they are happy,
With their angel plumage ONT

Be SoMETHING.-The following
brief but sensible article, which we
copy from an English paper, contains
excellent advice. We commend it in
an especial manner 10 the attention Of
parents and guardians:
at is the duty of every one to take
some active part as an actor on the stage
OF life. Some seem TO think that they
can vegetate, as it were, without being
anything in particular. Man was not
made TO rust out in life. Iii expected
he should act well his part He mus,
be something. He has a work 10 per-
form, which is his duty 10 attend to.
We are not placed hereto grow up, pass
through the various stages Of life, and
then die without having done anything
for the benefit Of the human race. Ii
is j principle in the creed Of The Ma
hometans that every one should have a
trade. No Christian doctrine could be
better than that. Is man 10 be
brought up in id'eness? Is he to live
upon the wealth which his ancestors
have acquired by frugal industry: Is
he placed here 10 pass through life like
an automaton? Has he nothing 10
perform as citizen Of the world? 4
man who does nothing is 4 mere cipher.
He does not fulfil the obligations for
which he was sent into the world
and when he dies, he has not finished
the work tina, was given him to do
