\ WORD FOR IRELAND.


Nature has closed her Oft TOO bounteous hand
The eye but dwells upon the lealess trees
Winter has deczd the late so tecEning land,
And northern winds succeed the southern breeze.
Black though the frown, which this cold season
wears,
To those whose eyes may sean these weary lines,
Oh. blacker far to those whom hunger tears,
Though near more wealth than fills Goconda $
mines
Think, We who dwell within Columbia's arms
These potent arms which open to embrace.
And lack not penty--haste fair freedoms charms,
Bask in the smile which CLOVIS upon her face
Ye she made rich, who once were poor indeed
Mean as tie very worm that crauls tie dust
Ye, who were weaker than the broken reed,
Yet mighty now in her in whom ye trust,
Think. oh yes, deeply think upon that shore
Less blcst than his, tho green in beauty still
Hear boye the tumult of tile North wind S roar
Those cries, which make the hardest senses
thrill
The wailing voice, the agoniz.ng crl-
The sigh, which issues from the breaking heart
When man beholds the hollow, CLASSY eye,
Which tells the tale OF flmines bitter dart
oh! We VINO ilotu III Iie'tIlS Oiti gains. U t-od4t
Ye who in midnight revel end the scene
Y, who can sur.eit at the oer-dl'd board,
!, And render thanks with trae Prelatic men,
r. who repose on warm and easy be1s,
Before sweet sluniber close your willing eyes
Tllin., of the hungry thousands in their sheds
Which scarce afford a shelter from the szics-
And know how small mite aea may save
How good the gilt--thc comfort, Oh! how great.
To stay but one sad tear, and from the grave
Snatch htnger's victim 1t be TOO late.
Had pen to rouse you, l couId tel
Scenes which would harrow up tl4e Utmost so.l--
Scenes, which have made that Island green hell
Which human help gan scarcely cen control;
But NINE is not the power-lo yen and all,
Mlfe in this rich and hees. bless 4 and abound
can but pray, that this appeal may lan
Where help once was and may again be found
DO not delay-gault famine is at haad-
Two-foId the git, when freely, quickly given
The act Of charity is Gods command,
And seraph tongues record the deed in Heas'n.

And there they sat-vishout covering =
their heads Oh shoes to 1heir feet. and their

the Committee was announced | said Mr. Clay
stood mo- chance Nor was disappointed as the
Committee retired aud soon returned with some
five or siX resolutions one OF which declared Gen
Tavlor TO be the choice Of the Wines of this Dis

was evident dissatisfaction la the Contention with
TINS resolution and 1t was with the greatest diff
Guilty that the wire pulers Of this city could fore
IL through the meeting Without amendment. As
n was, some Of Mr. Clays friends agreed 70 LET 1t
pass with the understanding that the Convention
would pledge itself to support any Wing that the
Philadelphia Convention might nominate feeling
assured, TOO, that the expression OF preference Tor
Gen TAYLOR by the Middle District, when the East

the resolution had passed the Taylorltcs seemed
little inclined 90 comply with the understanding
with the friends OF Mr. Clay. resolution was
offered stating the Convention would support any

was voted down.
With what face the Wings of this District can

ground that they go for Gen. Taylor any h0w,
whether hebe nominated by the Convention or not.
No,withstsndingal that has been said and done.
Mr. Clay has many warm friends IN this District,
end his nomination would be hailed with shouts of
rejoicing hope his friends will succeed in plac-
ing his name again before the people
