POOR MAMIE!

r1bute worthy OF SWcct iduy Wiosc sAS' ~
For the Enquirer.
POOR MAMIE!
Day dawns upon the tho glorious sun
IL gladd'ning all things that he shines upon;
But ah to light he can impart,
Black grief hath cast his shadow DER my heart
But yesterday casped her in these arms
And eazed upon her face so Innocent
And nv heart laugh'd in fullness of the JOY
That she was mine. All transitory thought!
Already Death had am'd the envious blow
That cru.h'd my heart, and laid my Mamie low!
OIL was it sin to love as did love2
Twas not the light that dwelt within her eye,
Nor the soft glow of beauty in her cheek
Nor tho sweet smile that brighten'd over ALL
No,-twas the meek and quiet spirit, pure
And peaceable, and full of gentle fruits,
That from her face reflected heavenly Joy
In smiles and light, and beauteous lovelincss,
And wrapp'd my soul in their delicious sense
As when, upon the bosom of some lake
Serene and calm all SHELTERED from tho storm,
And heavily glories seem TO dwell on eartn
Within the bosom Of that tranquil lake:
So Mamie seem'd 10 Oh sad the day
That breaks my dream of bliss, and steals away
That gentle spirit from this lower world
Yet this for me.
Her spirit too pure
Too faultless excellent. to dwell on earth
And thus it early sought, and found in heav'n
A home where all ID purity and bliss;
Where never moro may come the sigh Of grief
Or sorrows tear, or groans of agony, ~
To rlfle her sweet spirit in it's rest ECho.

EMANCIPATION OF WOMEN. few days since an
address was presented to Madame Kossuth in Eng
land, by deputation from the - Society for the
Emancipation of Women" In addition to ex-
preston of sympathy this address contained the wish
that the wife of the honored hero of the day would
communicate to these ladies her sentiments respect
ing their efforts achieve the freedom of her sex.
Madame kossuth replied, that she thanked them
heartily for this proof Of their sympathy towards her
SELF and, through her, particularly towards her
country that with respect to her own views the
emancipation of women, she had in earlier years
fined herself to the circle of her domestic duties and
had never been tempted to look beyond it; and that
lattery the overwhelming course of events had left
her, might well be supposed, still less leisure for
any speculatons of this kind. 1t would, moreover,
(such the conclusion of her little specify be
readily forgiven her, the wife of Kossuth, man
whom the general voice, than her heart,
pronounced distinguished, if she submitted herself
entirely his guidance and thought of emanci
patton! The admirable pertnence of this reply will
be doubly appreciated when it is mentioned that
Madame Kossuth altogether unprepared for the
address of these ladies'

ssffMR. TOOMBS. TI0F

- Mr.. Ioombs, Wing, has just been, elected by a
large majority TO the United States Senate from the
State of Georgia. About the time Of his election he
madea speech in Miedgville the substance of which
we find in the Athens Banner. He took the ground
that the old issues all settled that no one de-
sired National Bank, an increase of the Tariff
and he said he had acted recently, and expected
act hereafter with what he termed the Constitutional
Union party. Among other positions he assumed the
following: ' as~ "-e. .Fa
That those measures of the late Compromise
which were specially intended for the protection OF the
South were voted for by "a out of so northern demo-
Gratis is Congress, and by only "a out of 80 northern
wings. ...... .....0 .
That the northern democrats have, in every State,
gone into the recent elections with faithful adher-
ence to the Compromise as a part of their political
creed. and condemned all agitation for repeal mod
ication. ..-'
That in no single instance have the northern wings
planted themselves the Compromise in good faith,
but that controlled by the aoard wing of the party
they have either condemned it insisted upon agi-
tating the question of repeal modification of Por-
tions of it.
That, altough he could not undertake to say posi-
lively what would be the result he felt bound in
dor to say where the principles of the Georgia plat
form would be LIKELY to carry us-and that was to
act in union with the NATIONAL DEMOCRATS.
What will the North Carolina Wing leaders say
to thatl Has not Mr.. Toombs, one of their own
party, and whose recent triumph in Georgia they
much exulted, told them and the Southern people
just what have been saying all along in regard to
the fugtiveslave law, and Seward and the two par
ties in the free States? Here it is in black and White
from the mouth of Robert Toombs, that Seaoard IS
the controlling spirit in the Wing party of the free
States, and that the Wings TN that region opposed
TO efgitive-slaue a,O and the Democrats an favor Of
it. What stronger testimony than this is wanted
Mr.. Toombs candidy adds thai he is likely to be in
condition to support the Democratic candidate for
President; and as he goes SO goes the Georgia
Wings.
What says the Raleigh Register to these develop
ments Will not the North Carolina Wing leaders
listen readily to the advice of Georgia Wings, as
to that OF New York Massachusetts Wings? Or
is Gen. Scott, Se,Uardized be the Wing candidate
in this State! We shall see; but in the meantime
we can perceive events driving in that direction.
Scott and Jones will probably be the men Fillmore
and Graham may make a very pretty fancy ticket,
but that is about all. Scott and Jones-gunpowder
and fun. Very well, gentlemen that is little warm
er than Fillmore and Graham. We shall be ready
for YOU.

Mr.. SUMMERS.

The Raleigh Register, readers will remember,
is in favor of George w. Summers as Governor of
Virginia. We have already shown what sort of a
Wing Mr.. Summers is-we have shown thai he once
held that Slavery founded in injustice and wrong,
and that he awaited himself of the Southampton t.ag
edy occasion of pressing his Abolition opinions
before the Legislature of Virginia; but the follow
ing, from the Richmond Examiner. reveals a new
stripe In this genteman's cloth. The Examiner says
"Mr. George w. Summers is an Episcopalian. He
is leading member of that venerable church. He
has business with any other church. w hen the
- great split in the Methodist Church came about,
G George w. Summers took it upon himself to go
among the Methodists of his ion, and to urge up
on them by elaborate SPEECH, their adherence
10 the Northern Conference. We understand also,
that he has upon his own lands chapel in which
preachers from his beloved Alma Mater-namely, the
State of Ohio, the Magog Of Abolilion-come over
and address the faithful few of the Northern hive.
This is the gentleman whose "opinons, senti-
and instincts with the South and the South
only We have not the smallest intention of en-
ering upon the controversy between the wings of the
Methodist Church but this thing is certain that
they quarrelled about sLaOery, and that George w.
Summers went very far out of his way to get on the
side of the North"
The Wing candidate for Governor of Virginia
sympathized, it appears, with the Methodist Church
North, and endeavored get the Methodists of his
region to adhere to the Northern Conference. How
does the Register like that? Is MIR. Summers spe-
cimen of the Wing candidates to have here
after for this high Office in the slavehoding States
1.-THE Editor of the Register Virginian, would
he sustain this man for Governor
'Old Virginia - will throw December gloom
over this Summers hopes, in cay so from this.
We are not afraid to trust that State on question
like this. She will do right, come what may. The
State which bore up against the Harrison and Taylor
storms, will not elect Wing, and especially such
Wing to the Office of Governor George w. Sum-
mers.

KossUrH AND HIS ENEMIES. 1t is stated that agents
the work of endeavoring, by the most insidious
means. to poison the minds of the citizens against
the illuslrous Kossuth. and to induce them to be-
lieve that the great Magyar is not only of the
greatest humbugs that existed, but that he is
devil ncarnate, devoid of the feelings of humanity
cruel and despotc. The New York correspondent
OF the Philadelphia Inquirer says:-
ITO effect their object, the most infamous SLAM
ders and faisehoods promulgated in quiet way,
and such journals are supposed to be hostile to
him, are put in possession of these alsehoods from
