THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.

THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.
She may not in the May dance,
With jeweled maidens vie,
She may not smile on courtly swain
With soft, bewitChing eye;
She cannot boast a form and mien
That lavish wealth has brought her,
But ali! she has much fairer charms,
The farmers peerless daughter!
The rose and lily on her cheek
Together love to dwell,
Her laughing blue eyes wreath around
The heart a witching spell;
Her smile is bright as mornings glow
Upon the dewy plain,
And, listening to her voice, we dream
That spring has come again.
The timid fawn isnot more wild,
Nor yet more gay and free,
The lily's cup is not more pure
In all its purity;
Of all the wild flowers in the wood,
Or by the chrystal water,
There's none more pure nor fair than she
The farmers peerless daughter.
Then tell me not of jeweled fair
The brightest jewel yet
Is in the heart where virtue dwells
And innocence is set!
The glow Of health upon her cheek,
The grace no rule has taught her,-
The falrest wealth that beauty twines,
Is for the farmers daughter!

SOUTHERN CONVENTION.

The N. Y. Herald of Wednesday fur
nishes the following account of the South'
ern Convention at Washington, which i.
more particular than any previous &C
count:
When the Convention had been called
to order, Mr.. Calhoun presented the Adj
dress prepared by him, as chairman Of the
subcommittee.
Mr.. Clayton of Del. moved to strike
out that part of the Address which rec
commended resistance to the enforcement
of the Wiimot Proviso.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. Foote of Miss. then moved that
the Address be received and adopted by
the Convention.
Mr.. Bayley, of Va, compared the
grievances of the South TO those of the
American Colonies, which drove them to
rebellion.
Mr.. Underwood of Ky. asked if the
gentleman from Virginia wished the ADJ
dress to go out as declaration of indie
pendence.
Mr.. BaYley replied, not yet.
Mr.. Morehead, of Kentucky, moved
resolutions declaring the Union indiyisi-
bic; that the prosperity of the people and
of the States depended upon it that the
late movement for the abo itioniof slavery in
the District of Columbia violated the spir-
it of the Constitution that the South op-
posed the Wilmot Proviso, but believed
that the whole thing could be settled by
spirit Of Compromise acceptable to both
sections Of the Union.
Mr.. Calhoun, of South Carolina, said
that lie would amend the resolutions By
adding another, to the effect that the South
would prefer a dissolution of the Union to
the abolition of Slavery through the ag-
erosion of the North.
Mr. Morehead made an earnest appeal
in behalf of adherence to the Union.
MIR. Morehead, of Kentucky, objected
to the reception, and Mr.. Clayton, as
test question, moved that it be laid on the
table
Mr.. Clayton afterwards withdrew his
motion, TO afford the privilege of debate. |
Mr.. Calhoun took the floor and urged |
the dissolution of the Union as preferable
to submission, on the par, of the South. !
to the enforcement of the Wilmot Provi-
so in reference to the new territories.
Mr.. Foote, of Mississippi. asked Mr.. NJ.
if he would sustain the union on the pass
sage of the Wilmot Proviso with reference
10 the new Territories Of New Mexico
and California
Mr.. Morehead replied YES.
MIR. Berrien, of Georgia. believed that
The idea of disunion could not be enter
tanned. The thing was impossible. The
people of the country would never be per-
'uaded or driven to that extremity.
The report was finally recommended by
, majority Of two.

Correspondence of the n. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Monday, Jan. Is


Resolution day is one on which the House
is wont TO show itself particularly irresolute,
touching .eTTcral lhings but eta1ec!ing next to
nothing This day has proved an exception.
The Presidents Message has been taken up
and referred; the right of Mr. H. II. SIBLEY
to seat as Delegate from the territory of Wis
consin, Otherwise Minesota.) has been esiab-
lished an expression of the House in favor
Of entirely abolishing the Franking Privilege
has been obtained a resolution taking up the
bills organizing New Mexico and California
as regular Territories has been declared car
ried, and though that is a mistake, yet the
large vote in favor (1l4 to 71-not two-thirds,
which proportion is required to change the
order of business) gives good hope that the
Territorial Bills ,riH be taken up and passed
after the Appropriation and Postage Reform
bills shall have been disposed of. And these
are not all that was moved ahead to-day. The
House was mainly in working humor-no
chance was allowed for speech-and the a.
mount of business accomplished proves bow
easily and seasonably the public business
might be done if it were but rightly taken
hold of. A week of solid, steady, business
work would change the whole aspect of al
fairs.

Committee had investigated the matter, and
reported in favcr of admitting Mr.. Sibley
The minority of that Committee had present
ed an exceedingly strong counter report Both
were long since printed and distributed to the
Members. On the House agreeing TO take up
the case tins morning, the two Reports were
read. and then the previous question ordered.
The House was just as well prepared to vote
then as it would be after weeks debate. So
the previous question was sustained, the main
question ordered. the Yeas and NAYS taken.
and Mir. Sibley awarded seat by nearly two
TO one. could not vote with the majority,
deeming the Territory aforesaid legal multi
ty, and the precedent now set bad one, but
am rather glad-ior the sake of Mr.. S. who
is worthy and well likcd-that a seat was ac-
corded him.
Mr.. DIXoN's bill abolishing the Franking
Privilege was not ordered TO third reading,
and may not come up again in that shape, but
the Yea and Nay vote upon it renders the
success of the measure nearly certain. 1t will
of course be moved as an amendment to MIR.
