Now the golden summer time
Claims the notice Of rhyme;
Winter now lies still and cold
Matching storm for chill December,
And beneath our skies Of gold,
We must winter still remember;
So simple moral here,
Nothing can from notice smother;
Changing seasons best appear,
Each contrasting with the other.
Spring serenely slides away,
Yielding TO bright new conner,
Fading into swift decay
Meath the glowing sun OF Summer
Summer on the heels OF Spring,
As the scythe OF Time is flashing,
Comes, IA with dancers ding,
Into sudden empire dashins.
Welcome be the seasons reign
Welcome, Summer, once again!
Now the God Of Light is glowing
In his majesty supreme,
Lite and love and JOY bestowing,
Kissing Terra with his beam;
And beneath his burning face,
Mother Earth, with kindling fire.
Springs 10 meet the Suns embrace,
In delight Of new desire.
Green things flying into birth,
Tell The rapture Of the Earth
Sunny, leaty, breezy June,
Welcome sings our simple tune.
Bid the green earthto rejoice,
Give the birds of Summer voice;
Call the buds Of flowers forth,
Melt the ices Of the North,
Ripen fruit OF sunny South
For the eager melting mouth;
Hasten in our Summers noon,
Merry, smiling, sunny june

THE MORAL WARFARE.

u
When Freedom on her natal day,
Within her war-rocked cradle lay,
An iron race around her stood,
Baptised her infant brow in blood,
And, ,hro' the storm which round her swept
Their constant ward and watching kept.
Then where quiet herds repose,
The roar of baleful battle rose,
And brethren Of common tongue
To mortal strife astigers sprung,
And every gin on Freedoms shrine
Was man for beast, and blood for wne
Our fathers TO their graves have gone;
Their strife is past-their triumph won
But Steiner trials wait the race
Which rises in their honored place
A moral warfare with the crime
And folly of an evil time.
So let il be! In Gods own might
We grid US for the coming fight,
And strongin Him whose cause is ours
In conflict with unholy powers,
We grasp the weapons He has given,
To Light, and Truth, and love OF Heaven!

CoLoRED EMlGRASrs.-The Brig Flora, which
arrived at this port on Saturday, from Turks
Island, in addition to her cargo of SALT brought
some thirty odd colored men, women, and chill
dreD, who intend seltlng in this country.
We believe this is the first arrival of colored
people from foreign countries since the abolition
of the slave trade. We hope the aboiilionisls
will now make good their professions and take
good care of their people.
Quare-are the abolitionists encouraging this
kind Of immigration 10 this country?

GEORGI,IS THE rirI.D,

Last Monday The Democratic Nominating
Convention assembled in Mledgevilp The
Hon. Joseph Day OF Jones was unanimously
chosen President, and F. Fl. Sanford and G.. w.
Fish Secretaries. On motion OF our worthy
friend, Judge Gone, il was resolved that two
thirds Of all the votes present should be- necessary
Tor choice. The Convention then proceeded 10
ballot for candidate for Governor. Al this
junclure, DR.. Foot announced The withdrawal oil
the name of Col. H. " johnson as a candidate,
rendering 10 the Convention his highly patriotic
letter Of withdrawal which was read amid The
Convention. In The same manner the name of
Col. Ct. w. b. Towns was Withdrawn By MIR. l..
b. Smith Of Talbot. The ballot then proceeded,
and the Hon NJ. Hal McAlsler received 2O9
votes; The Hon. Hiram Warren ca; scattering l..
Mr.. McAl:sler was lien announced as unani-
mously nominated the Democratic candidate Tor
Governor of Georgia
The MiIledgevile Union truly says
"Thus our friends in le distant counties have
in this short summary he most gratifying eXhi-
hilton of the zeal and un;nimity with which The
Convention has performed high and delicate
trust Nj things are now fair for The most slori-
Gus result"
This is The spirit whchwe wish 10 see carried
out BY our friends all over he Union. Let them
consult the interests OF The party and the good of
The country, rather Than lie ambitious or selfish
views Of any man Or sci oil men, and Democratic
principles will surely flourish. In many points,
the proceedings of this Georga Convention close
Is resemble the events Of the glorious Baltimore
Convention, where all private aspirations were
sacrificed 10 the general veal. Do we not see IN
The harmony and enthusiasm OF our Georgia
friends the same bright signs Of signal triumph!
We bid them "God-speed," and Shall confidently
watch the result.
