SUNRISE on THE HILLS.
BY HENRY W. LoNsFE Low

| stood upon the hills, when heavens high arch
Was glorious with the sun returning march.
And worlds were Frightened and soft gales
Went forth 10 kiss the sun clad wales
The clouds were far beneath me bathed in lish
They gathered mid way round the wooded heigh
And in their fading glory shone
Like hosts in battle overthrown,
As many pinnacle, with shifting glance
Ihro' the gray mist thrust up It's shattered lance,
And rocking on the cliff was left
The dark pine, blasted, bare and cleft,
The veil OF cloud was lifted, and below
Glowed the rich valley, and the rivers flow
Was darkened by the forests shade,
Or glistened in the white cascade;
Where upward in the mellow blush of dav,
The noisy bttern wheeled HIS spiral way
| heard the distant waters dash.
saw the current "hirl and flash,
And richly by the blue lakes silver beach,
The woods were bending with Silent reach,
Then o er the vale with gentle swell,
The music OF the village bell
Came sweetly TO the echo giving hills
And the wild horn whose voice the woodland fills
Was ringing TO the merry shout
That faint and far the glen sent out,
Where answering TO the sudden shot, thin smoke,
Thro' thick leayed branches from the dingle broke
Ii thou art worn and hard beset
With sorrows that thou woulds forget
IL thou wouldst reap lesson that will keep
Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from Sleep
Go 10 the woods and hills! No tears
Dim the sweet look that nature wears

The Election, OF Mr.. Van Buren,
hy she nBGOISkG,

| people is an easier matter 10 accomplish thar
is generally supposed b. Il ose who hav,
made no estimate of the case. The Phlla
delpha Bulletin has made some calculation:
on this subject which will surprise those
who have not scrutinized the popular vote
1t says:
1.-THE improbabilty of the case is not re.
ally so great as appears at first thought
A detection of one third from each party,
united to the abolition strength, would give
Van Buren, the electoral vote of any, or ev-
cry of these commonwealth"
In illustration Of the truth of this PROPOSE
lion, the Bulletin makes the following cal
culations:
"Here is Indiana. In ls44,,it polled
81 ,s67 votes for Clay, 70,l7l Tor Polk, and
2,IO6 for Birney. Now, suppose Van Blu
rem takes off one third of the Wing vote,
viz, % 1922, and one third of the Democra-
tic, viz, 23,393, these together would give
him 46,OI5. Now add the abolition vote
to this, viz, 2,lO6. and we have his whole
vote, viz 40, l2I. If then we take the vote
Cass, which would be 7O,lSl less 1888,
we have poll for him of only 46,7ss, or
1900 less than Van Buren, would get. The
vote for Taylor would be 67,S67, less %, y
622, or 45;246, which would place him
nearly $500 votes behind Van Buren,. To
recapitulate, we leave for the three candi-
dates, calculating on the vote of 1914, for
Van Buren,, 1921
Cass, 46,7SS
Taylor, 45,24o
"Of course there will be more votes poll
ed in lS4S than in 1914; but the result
will be the same if the relative strength of
the Wings and Democrats remains the same.
A similar calculation for Ohio would show
for
Van bprsr lO0442
Cass 99ill
Faylor lo2a -
If we turn to the New England States,
we shall find the same surprising result
The vote of Massachusetts, in 1874, was
81 900 for Clay, So, O39 for Polk, and TO-
$50 for Birney. Now, a detection of one
third from each Of the old parties, united to
the abolition vote, would give the following
result:
For Van Buren, 5O,SlS
q TAYLOR 4l,670
Cass 35,36O
Connecticut, in like manner. would be
carried by Van Buren,, if he could secure
third of the Wing and Democratic vote, and
the whole of the abolition vote. Michigan
would also be under similar circumstances !;
while he would miss Vermont by only few
votes. New Hampshire would give HIM
IN such contingency. her electoral vote by
a clear thousand majority. In word, II
the free soil" principles are disseminated
as arden,ly as Hale and Corwin contend,
Van Buren's nomination will put the old
parties into bodily fear, and send the cleo
ton into the House"
In order TO place before our readers the
full result of the election in the free States
surprising the Free Soil Ticket to obtain
one third of the old Wing and Democratic
vote. in each, and the whole liberty vote be-
sides, we present a statement OF the Liberty
vote and the party majorities in those states
in the election of DISCRIMINATING with an
asterisk (* each State which the rule would
give to Van Buren, and Adams.

When the cholera broke out here, the at

The REPUBLIC OF SIERRA MApRB-CoI.
KINNEY.-This gallant and distinguished
gentleman, so well known to the whole
country as the only American who e~-lL
uIaIIIrdn himself on the west side OF the
Nueces, where, for many wears, his celebra>
ted Ranchcros defied the whole power of
the Mexicans, and survived thousand per-
lis, is now in our city, enjoying little qui.
ct after the active scenes of war, in which
he has been participation from its very ctm-
mencement.
Colonel Kinney is a master spirit. His
courage and GOODNESS in battle, his skill III
the use of arms, his familiarity with Next
can character and language, his energy tact,
and judgement, point him out as leader,
chief, worthy TO direct the most difficult en-
terprise. Those of our readers who feel
an interest in the Success of that great en-
terprise which we have the honor first TO
develooe and advocate, by which the beau-
tiful region north of the Sierra Madre will
be redeemed from Mexican misrule and
made all independent republic, modelled on
that of our own, will be gratifed TO learn
that Colonel Kinney has engaged in that
movement with his ardor and great resour-
ces, and has already collected at Corpus
Christi abundant means to support the stand
which, it is calculated and arranged will be
made by the Mexicans in this territory
ANY doubts which we ever entertained of
the praciicabilily of this enterprise, and we
never had quite so many as some of our
contemporaries, who have treated it with
remarkable skepticism, are now dissipated
by the factol Col. Kinney's cooperation.
