THE SONG OF STEAM

Or waiting the wayward bl eeze;
When saw the PEASANT family reel.

As he turned away at the ia!dy wheel,
Or tugged at The weary oar.
When measured the painting courser's speed
The fight OF the carrier dove,
As they bore the law King decreod.
Or the lines of impatient love;
l could but think how the world would feel
AS they were out-stripped afar.
When should be bound TO the rushing keel,
Or chained TO the flying car!
Ha. ha. ha! They found me at last,
They invited me forth pt length, blast
And rushed 20 my throne with thunder
And laughed in my iron strength!
Oh. then you saw VI ondrous change
On the earth and ocean vide;
Where now my fiery armies range;
NOs wait for wind Or tide.
Hurrah! hurrah. the waters DER
The mountains steep decIinei

have long held prominent positions in society and
in the party-including some, like the respected
President of the Convention and FRANKLIN DEx-

taken an active part in political movements and
party action.
The whole action and spirit of the Convention
gave unexpectedly favorable evidence that the
Wings Of the Commonwealth are beginning to ap-
precate the importance of the coming election,
and the necessity Of making unusual efforts to
counteract the coalition game which the Opposition
have determined to play, and to keep Massachu-
sets as she is.

MASSACHUSETTS NOMINATIONS.

The Wing State Convention of Massachusetts
met at Worcester on Tuesday, and unanimously
nominated GEORGE N. BRIees for Governor, and
JOHN REED for Lieutenant Governor. The cleo
ton will take place next month.
An Address was adopted by the Convention,
without dissenting voice, which alludes, in ap-
propriate terms, TO the death of President TAYLOR.
It approves of the course of President FILLMORE,
and rejoices over the admission of California as a
substantial triumph over ultra-Souhern prejudices.
1t also approves, as whole of the recent measures
Of compromise adopted by Congress, with the ex-
ception of the Fugitive Slave Bill as passed with
out the trial by jury clause. 1t speaks in strong
terms of the wrong done to free negroes going from
Massachusetts in the harbors of the South, and
calls upon their Senators and Representatives to
demonstrate against it in the halls of Congress I'M
til abolished. The Address advocates a sound
discriminating tariff and denounces the coalition
between the Democrats and Free-soers a
struggle for the spoils of office.
The resolutions on slavery are not of an ultra
character. They reaffirm the opposition Of Massa-
chusetts the extension of slavery to free territory
and urge the admission of Utah and New Mexico
as States into the Union, as soon as practicable,
with constitutions like California. They also de-
clare that the Wing party North and South are one
