correspondence OF i ne lT1Ouno.
Washington, May %, ls4s.
Some people may be so green as to suppose
that the resolution introduced into the Baltimore
Convention BY Mr. Yancey of Ala. in regard to
the non-interference of Government in the prop
erty over Slaves whether in States or Territories,
was intended to injure Cass at the South. 1t was
not so. The intention was the very opposite. II
roas 10 help him at tie North. 1t was introduced
with perfect understanding between the Dele
gates from the Free and Slave States. It reccv-
ed Just sufficient number of votes to give plaus-
bility TO the affair-to remove a suspicion of the
TuSe.
The argument now to he addressed to the
North is that the fanatics of the South refuse to
support Cass on account of his attachment to the
principle of Liberty, however much disposed he
may be to tolerate Slavery as an vitablc polit
ical institution. Cass has pledged himself against
the Wilmot Proyiso and with such pledge the
Locos of the South will be generally satisfied.
South Carolina will not 60 for him. tits true;
would she, whatever professions he might make.
She does not believe in his sincerity. The voters
in that State, believe his is mere lip-fcalty, but
that he bears his heart unsworn.
That such rs have stated is, if not the design,
will be the use made ofthe movement, L have the
confession of some Northern Delegates. From
the very first vote at the Convention on the POM
ination, it was evident the South had prepared to
nominate Cass. They were satisfied with his as
surances. The vote in his favor from the South
was larger than his Northern vote. Our friends
in the Free States must take care not to get en-
trapped by this weak invention of the enemy"
Many of the old Hunkers have come over since
the Convention to see Gen. Cass, and to receive
"the assurances ofhis most distinguished consid-
Grafton" They are in great spirits, rot less at
his nomination than at the defeat of the Barnburn-
crs. They hate them more than US and with
greater reason-because they received more good at
their hands. But for Silas Wrights self-immola-
ton New York never could have been carried for
Polk, and the Old Hunkcrs would have been
without Offices 1t is the nature of tho baser por-
ton of mankind to hate the persons at whose
hands they have received benefits too great to be
returned.
Gen. Cass resigned his scat in the Senate on
Monday, to put himself in better training for the
race. He intends to write no letters during the
Canvass.

to be put upon these rumors. Indeed, we in

determination to recall the Prince of Prussia
from England. The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS such

Negotiations for peace between Prussia and

LIVE TO DO GOOD.

Live to do good; but not with thought to win
From man return Of any kindness done;
Remember him w no died on cross for sin,
The merciful, the meek, rejected One,
When he was slain for crime of doing good,
Cans't thou expect return of gratitude!
Do good to all but when thou servest best
And at thy greatest cost, nerve to bear
When thine own heart with anguish is oppressed
The cruel taunt, the cold averted air,
From lips which thou has taught in hope to pray;
And ewes whose sorrow thou hast w ped away.
Still do those good but for his holy sake
Who died for thine; fixing thine purpose ever
High as his throne, no wrath of man can shake;
So shall he own thy generous endeavor,
And take thee to his conquerors glory up,
When thou hast shared the Savour's bitter cup.
Do nought but good for such the noble strife
Of virtue is, 'gainst wrong to venture love,
And for thy foe devote brothers life,
Content to meet the recompense above.
Brave for the truth, to fiercest insult meek.
In mercy strong, in anger only weak.

ALICE WESTON.-A TALE.
BY NJ. C. SLEEPER.

1t was Ten o'clock, yet Alice Weston still
sat in her little dressing room, her head
resting on her hand, and an ivory comb
gi,lering amidst her loosened tIesses A
fifty dollar bill lay on the table with which
she intended TO purchase bonnet and win

morning by her father, and she would have
noticed the reluctance with which it was
granted, but that she was absorbed by the
attempt TO decide whether a certain Edgar
Morris would prefer pink or white hat.
She was still busted with the important
question; but in vain she ransacked her
memory for some remark which might fur
nish hint as to his taste. He never con-
versed upon such topics, and carefully a.
voided commenting or condemning any
style of dress. The longer she dwell
upon the subject the more perplexed she
became.

So saying she finished dressing, glanced
con'empluously at her last years bonnie, as
she pu, it on, thrust the bill into her purse,
and took the way to the principal shops -
She was still balancing the merits of silk and
satin, pink and white, when she was stop

near, but he did not observe her for he was
engaged in conversation with his next door

TODAY AND TOMORROW.

To-day, man lives in pleasure, wealth and pride
Tomorrow, poor Of life itself denied.
To-day, lays plans of many years to come,
Tomorrow sinks into the silent tomb.
Today his food is dressed in dainty forms,
Tomorrow, is himself feast for worms.
To-day, he's clad in gaudy rich array,
Tomorrow, shrouded for bed of clay.
To-day, enjoys his halls built to his mind,
Tomorrow, in coffin is confined.
To-day, he floats on honor's lofty wave,
Tomorrow, leaves his titles for grave.
To-day, his beauteous visage we exto,
Tomorrow, loatsome in the sight of all.
Today he has delusve dreams of heaven.
Tomorrow cries, "'Too late to be forgiven"
To-day, he lives in hopes as light as air,
Tomorrow, dies in anguish and despair.
