The Turkman lay beside the river
The wind played loose through bow and culver
The charger on the bank fed free,
The shield hung glittering from the tree,
The trumpet shawn and attabal
Were hid from dew by cloak and pail,
For long and weary was the way
The hordes had marched that burning day.
Above them, on the sky Of June,
Broad as a buckler glowed the moon
Flooding with glory vale and hill.
In silver sprang the mountain riH,
The shrub in silver bent,
A pile of silver stood the tent;
All soundess, sweet tranquility
All beauty, hill, and tent, and Tree.
Then came a sound-'twas like the gush
When night winds shake the roses bush 3!
There came a sound-'twas like the tread
or wolves along the valley bed
There came a sound-'twas like the roar
Ofocean on its wintry shore
"DEAru TO THE Turk !" up rose the yell
On rolled the charge-a thunder peal
The Tartar arrows fell like rain
They cianked on helm, anu mai, anu chalh--
In blood-in hate-in death, were twined
Savage and d-bleeding-bhnd-
And still, on flank, and front, and rear,
Ragged, Constantine thy thirstiest spear
Brassy and pale-a type of doom
Labored the moon through deep ming gloom
Down plunged her orb-'twas ptchy night!
Now, Turkman, turn thy reigns for flight
On rushed their thousands through the dark
But in the camp ruddy spark
Like an uncertain meteor reeed-
Thy hand, brave king, that frebrand wheeled
Wild burst the burning element,
Der man and courser, flag and tent!
And, through the blaze the Greeks outsprang,
Like tigers bloody-foot and fang
With dagger, stab and falchion's sweep,
Delving the stunned and staggering heap
Till lay the slave, by chief and khan
find all toas gone that once ,ras man
A wailing on the Euxine shore
Her chivalry shall ride no more
There's wailing on thy kills, Altai
For chiefs the Grecian vulture's prey
But Bosphorus! thy silver wave
Hears shouts for thy returning brave
The highest Of her kngy line
FoR THERE COMES GLORIOUS CONSTANTINE

The fact that the Webster men in Boston
could collect in sufficient numbers at Faneuil
Hall, to obstruct the purposes Of the meeting,
on the night that the friends of the British abo-
litionist GEORGE THOMPSON, proposed to tender
him public reception, and howl down that for
eign incendiary, is made cause of much COM
placent graduation by the Northern hackers of
the Southern submissionists. Such an aug-
mentation of their capital, however, appears to
us much like that OF the merchant, who
exclaimed that he had made five Thousand dol
lars in one day by marking up the prices of his
stock in trade some fifty per cent.
nor anything else, indicates to our mind any
disposition on the part of the people of Boston
still less of the people of Massachusetts-to
protect the Southern people from robbery, in ac-
cordance with express constitutional stipulation.
The Native American feeling has been used
to hiss down 4 foreigner, but it has not and
cannot be used to put down a native Free
soler," nor to smother his sentiments. The
time was, when the utterance Of such sentiments
at the North was treated as moral treason to
the Constitution and the Union Would that
they had continued to be SO regarded. Then
would the voice of the native traitor have been
hushcd, as well as that of the foreign emissary,
and the turpitude of his treason been held, as it
should be, in greater horror and detestation,
than the Vaccinations Of his foreign coadjutor.
But the success Of the anti Thompsonians was
but temporary. The discovery of the hostile
element placed the Thompsonians on their
guard, ard on subsequent night they found
and put in operation sufficient legal force to
protect them in their constitutional right, to
pcaceably assemble" and listen to lis address.
And, alas, for their consistency, their loyalty
and their patriotism, they could not give efficacy
to the constitutional requisiton to deliver up
the fugitive property Of their Southern fellow
citizen-not they. The most willing among
them, fold their arms and say, we will not ac-
lively assist in the reclamation, nor openly re-
sist the law. I he stakeholder may take lis
"pound of aesh," if he can get it without our
aid, but woe to him if he spills one drop of
blood in the taking. Let him take heed, too,
that he smoke not his cigar in our streets, or
quicken the pace of his horse in the pursuit of his
fugitive, lest we hold him answerable to a
"higher law" than that which he is seeking to
execute.

The Georgia Election.

The result of the election in Georgia is pla-
ced beyond doubt, by the following dispatches
received by us yesterday, from reliable
source, and though to be deeply deplored by all
who entertained the opinion Of the vital neces-
sty of strong action on her part, to repel disas-
trous consequences to the South and to the
Union-this result is yet not wholly unex-
pected. With the powerful appliances brought
to bear upon this election, both internal and ex-
trinsic, those most confident of the good inten-
tons and good faith of her people, had yet rea.
son TO doubt the issue.
