THOU ALONE VAST FAIR.

Into my heart silent look
Flashed from thy careless eyes,
And what before was shadow, took
The light Of summer skies.
The first bornlove was in that look,
The Venus rose from out the deep
Of those inspiring eyes.
NY life, like some lone, solemn spot,
A spirit passes DER,
Grew instinct with a glory not
In earth or heaven before.
Sweet truble stirred the haunted spot,
And shook the leaves Of every thought;
Thy presence wandered O'erl
Nv being yearned, and crept to thine,
As if in times Of yOre,
Thy soul had been a part Of mine,
Which claimed it back once more.
Thy very self no longer thine,
But merged Ia that delicious life,
Which made us one fyOre
There bloomed beside thee forms as fair !
There murmured tones as sweet
Butroundthee breathed tn enchanted air,
Twas life and death to meet
And, henceforh, thou alone wert falr,
And though The stars had sung for loyr
Thywhisper only sweet

Gentlemen -
To day have had the honor to receive
your communication Of the 2lst inst, en-
closing copy of the preamble and resOlu-
tons which were unanimously adopted by
a meeting of the Democratic party Of the
county Of Madison, convened at the Court
House in the town of Canton apprising
me ofmy being nominated by the Demo-
Gratis Of Madison, for the Office of State Sena-
tor from the District compOsedof the cOun-
ties of Madison and YazoO.
Highly and gratefully approaching the
great honors done me by this mark Of the
esteem and condolences Of the sound and in
telligent democracy of Madison, in over
looking the claims of so many worthy sons
of her own, and confirming the nomination
Of our Democratic brethren of YazOo, pre-
viously made and conditionally accepted by
me; though difident Of my capacity to
meet the expectations Of such intelligent
friends, yet entertaining the opinion that
every true patriot should hold himself ready
to serve his country to the best Of his abil-
ity whenever called on by his fellow citi-
zens, and believing as humbly do, that
majority Of the people Of the District viii
sanction your SELECTION cheerfnly ac-
cept the nomination.
Il is evident that we must rely for sue
cess in the canvass, upon the aid Of the in-
telligeut and patriotic Of our fellow citizens
of the Wing Party-and / confidently ex.
pect thai aid. The present position Of the
Democratic party with refeFepce to impor-
tant questions Of State policy, justify rs ia
relying upon that aid without taking into
the account, the greatand favorable change

MIND.

Let others praise the hue
That nantes on thy face,
Thine eyes of heavenly blue,
And mien of fruitless grace;
These charms l freely own,
But still a higher find;
twill last when beauty's flown
Thy matchless charm of mind.
The damp of years may quench
The brightness of thine eyes,
Times icy hand may blanch
Thy cheeks vermillion dye;
Thy form may lose its grace;
Thy voice its sweet control
But naught can e'er efface
The beauties Of thy soul.
Whats beauty but a flower
That blooms in summers ray;
When pours the winter shower
Its charms will fade away;
The minds rich perfume
That winter cannot chill;
The flower may lose it's bloom,
But fragrance fingers still.
Stars gem the vault of heaven
When days last hues decline
AS darker grows'the even,
With brighter ray they shine !
Thus. in the night Of years,
When youths gay light is DER,
More bright the soul appears,
Than ere it shone before.
The leaves when autumn busters,
Forsake the tree and die,
But falling show rich clusters
OF fruitage to the eye
Thus time, in flying, snatches
Thy beauty, but displays
One charm that all O'ermatches--
A soul that ne'er decays.

!
Dear Sir:-The enclosed preamblcand
resolutions were this day unanimously zdop.
ted by a Democratic meeting, convened at
the Court House in this town from which
you will find that you have been nominated
by the Democrats of Madison for the Office
of State Senator.
The undersigned were appointed by the
chairman of that meeting, in compliance
with the last resolution for the purpose OF
communicating to you the resolutions, and
Of receiving your answer.
We think the final battle is to be fought
the coming fall between the people and the
Banks, when we trust the latter will be
vanished, and they and their evils disap-
pear from our State together and forever.
1t is popular saying that snakes tail
never dies until the sun goes down, Is it
not high time that the great sun Of Repub-
lican equality had gone down on these
Banks Whose tails only are now alive) so
that they might die throughout; the counts
be relieved from harrassing litigation
the people from taxes to sustain it? One
of our political friends whom we delight to
honor, and whom we will honor because
he will go 70 post where other great ques-
tons will claim his attention) has said that
the doctrine of forfeiture smacks too much
of the feudal system. If so the doctrine Of
private corporations and franchises, smacks
of something worse-court favoritism-the
granting of monopOlies-royal grace and
favor won by corruption--the surrender Of
the rights of the many into the hands Of
the few. Practices which undermined the
throne of the first Stuart, and laid the foun.
dation for the destruction of the second
As we have adopted the evil, let US at least
have the remedy, ifnot there is no redress
for the violations Of law by corporations,
but in the repeal of charters. A doctrine
against which most Of the Wing lawyers in
80 Illuminated their denunciations-chall-
enging us to pursue the very course which
Briscoe's Bill requires, to wit, judicial in
vestigation-and where there should be
made to appear the violation ola charter
Judgment and forfeiture.
But it would be inconsistent with the
purpose of our appointment to dwell longer
on this subject. We have but to add there
fore, thS>expressiOn Of our hopes, that you
will find it convenient to comply with the
wishes of your Democratic friends in this
country; and to assure you Of the high
qualification which it affords us Individually,
to be the medium Of making known those
wishes to you.
We are very respectfully,
