Oh long delay! Oh, long delay!
How many dreams-sweet dreams of thee
Have blessed my siumbers since the day
nhan thy iast kind smile beamed on me
Oh sacred from that hour have been
Each shrub and flower, each stone and tree
That we together looked on then-
Aud sacred ever Shall they be. @
There's not path along whose shade,
Thy gentle footsteps used totread--
There's not flower along the glade,
Which bent to thee its blushing head,
But oft along whoes winding track,
But Ger whoes petals rosy glow,
liingerng, call those bright days back
Through the dim past to cheer me now.
Dost thou remember one brigh morn,
left thy side to stray alone,
In that fair grove, where blooming thorn,
And blooming maple mingling shown?
Deep in their shades, beneath one tree,
OfalI the rest most lovely there.
A bright stream flowing pure and free
Close by, while all the breezy air.
Was tunefuI with the song of birds;
And fragrant with the flowers about me,
traced for thee, those tuneful words
That all this world was drear without thee.
That flowers might bloom and birds might sing
And rivers flow forever free
The year be one perpetual spring
Yet ali was cheerless without thee.
Dost thou remember when again.
| came at eve, and to thee brought,
The homage ofmy MUSES. strain,
From flowers, and birds, and waters caught!
Oh! many time, beneath that slade,
Beside that gladly laughing stream
A calm retreat for such dreams made,
Atmorn and eve i lingering dream.
And fancy then, with my mystic wand,
Calls round me many an absent one,
greet the smile and press the hand
OF those I've loved to look upon.
And brightest fairest of those faces,
That shed their smiles upon me then,
Thine own with all its matchless graces.
Beams on me kindly once again.
Oh! long delay! Oh, long delay!
How many dreams--sweet dreams of thee,
Have blessed my slnmbers since the day.

| The American ConsuIs assertion that the

the United States, at all acquainted with
Spanish law and Spanish rule, must see at

in Havana, other than by the gayTOte, or by
shooting in the back, which Mr. Owen
knew at the time he penned his letter, as

+ From The Ftcksburg Sentinel.

Ug- The vote cast in the September
election is against the State Rights
party between majority Of six and Sc
ven thousand. A change of three
thousand five hundred votes will elect
Col. jeff Davis Governor, if the same
votes cast in November that were in
September. We believe certainly their
will be that great change. But this
is not all that Col Davis has TO make
in bis favor. The vote then cast tell
over twenty thousand short OF the full
vote. There was nothnn to bring out
the entire vote in the Convention elec.
tion. When the November election
comes on, the county officers will be
elected, Many men will go out and
vote for their neighbors that would not
go to an election at all, ii there were
no county officers to elect, but who
Twill vote for Governor and other State
officers when at the polls. Many. a
great majority Of them will be for Da.

Of those votes will be Tor Eayis. This

A picture Of FOOte drawn
by O Virginia Democrat.

We copy the following truthful
sketch of Foote from one of our best
and purest Democrats in the old do
minion, the Editor of that able journal
the Richmond Examiner;
Among the most absurd and detest.
able insects of the musquito species
that have ever been generated in the
snn and mud of Mississippi, we reckon
Henry S. Foote. late Senator from the
State of that name. His antics in the
Senate of the late sessions, have scan>
dalized all the respectable portion of
the Democratic party, in such de-
gree, that the announcement of his
complete amalgamation with the ultra
submissionist wing of Federalism is
not calculated to give much concern
to any reader of the Examiner news
paper. Foote the frantic democrat in
the train of President Polk, is now
playing the part of luna,ic toad to
Henry Clay, He is completely identi-
fed with the Fillmore administration,
with Webster, with Clay, with Cor
win, and with every other name which
is odious to the ears of freemen and Re-
pubIicans and with them we pray
most lervently he will remain identif-
ed until he meets the "fat goose" who
shall undertake the job of knocking
him on the head.
1t is a curious example of "hunkey.
ism grown truculent and transcend,
ent"-of impudence gone stark mad -
that this renegade Democrat, and Mis-
sissippi Arnold. has undertaken to run
against the heroic jeff. Davis for the
gubernatorial bonors ofthe State which
he has betrayed an outraged, and by
which be has been censured and cash
Iefed 10 the Senate's presence. The
Whig politicians OF course unite upon
him. They described Mr. Foote as the
basest Of humanity while be bore the
name Of Democrat. They have now
