THE DEMOCRATIC STATE TIcKET.-Our NOM
nations for Governor and It. Governor have
now been before the people long enough to form
proper judgment from the expressions of the
popular voice, with respect to them, and we are
proud to say, that from all parts of the State,
we hear but one voice in regard to them-and
that is, warm, hearty and enthusiastic approval
Under this gratifying state Of things, the dem.
ocratic party of Michigan are beyond the reach
of their adversaries in all their attempts to sow
dsnnon, or create false issues among us. Thoil
hopes Of attaining power, by their usual means
-dstracting and dividing the Democracy, are
utterly frustrated by the action of our State Con.
vention, and every where we see among them
the evidences of modification, and anticipated
discontinue and defeat.
Our candidates are eminently entitled to q
vigorous and united support at the hands of the
party, and every breeze bears with it from al
quarters, the most suspicious indication of theil
complete and triumphant success. Our presses
are all warmly sustaining the ticket, and their
advocacy evinces an alacrity and earnestness
which is but the reflex of the public sentiment
in their various localities.
We believe that it needs only vigilance and
attention,in securing full democratic vote thro'.
out the State, to ensure the election Of McClel-
land and Britain, by an unprecedented majority
and thus to achieve for our gallant Democracy Il
victory unparalleled in the annals of the State

AURORA BoREALIs.-Last night we had the
most beautiful Aurora we ever witnessed. A
succession of the most brilliant coruscations
shot up from almost from every part of the hor-
lion to the zenith, making night almost as
bright as day. Indeed so light was it at times
after the setting of the moon, that common
print could be read with facility. All the col
ors Of the rainbow were seen with great dis
tinctness; but red generally predomnated to
give rise to the question sis not prairie on
fire." The brighter of the flashes appeared
scintillating. The scene was strikingly beauti-
full. At o'clock, while the moon was shining
in full brightness, so light was it from Aurora,
that the moon made no shadow.

We publish this week the proceedings of the
Democratic State Convention, held in the city
of Detroit, on the oath and 25th days of Sep
tember The nominations made by that body
will meet with cordial and united response from
the Democracy Of the State. The favorable
comments which have been freely made herea-
bouts, since it was known that Robert McClel-
land was the nominee for Governor, and Calvin
Britain for Lieut. Governor, afford us an unmis-
taxable index Of the unanimity Of feeling with
which these gentlemen will be supported. We
have often urged the vital importance of pre-
senting good men and true for the suffrages of
the people. So long as this course is adhered
to by the democratic policy and principles be
triumphantly sustained in our State government.
Our nominees are both well known to the cleo
tors as honorable and independent men, in every
way worthy of the high trusts which the people
will require them to assume in January next.
The resolutions, unanimously adopted by the
convention, are pre-eminently national in the
sentiments which they so eloquently express,
and show distinctly the position occupied by the
Democracy of Michigan upon the great ques-
tions of the day. Grand Rapids Eng.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN CHICAGO, Oct. ga
fire broke out last evening between seven and
eight o'clock, In the carpenter shop of Mr.. Sam
uel McKearnnan. II was quickly consumed to-
gether with considerable quantity Of material
in it. The flames next caught the stable own
ed by w. McKearman, mason, which was con-
sumed together with two houses. From thence
the fire caught the stables Of ]. Harris and j p.
Alden, which were also destroyed. The dis
lance at which the fremen were compelled to
force the water prevented the arrest of the
flames.
We learn that s. w. McKearman was insur-
ed. The stable of o. Bigelow was pulled down
by the Hook e. Ladder Company to arrest the
further progress Of the fire.
ANOTHER FIRE.-About 10 o'clock last night
fire broke out in the sash factory of O. Lyon,
on the alley running through the block between
Randolph and Lake st. on the north and south,

! 1t ragged furiously, and in a short time burned
that factory, also that of Caleb Morgan, cabinet
maker; j. Strait, cabinet maker; j. E. Outlets

There was u considerable quantity Of lumber,
&c, consumed.
The iremen worked most galantly, and pass
ed splendid practical review, whether they will
be in trim to do so to-day at their sem-annual
parade or not. They did not allow the fire to
touch the street Mt any point although the block
was composed of the most combustible build
ings. Their exertions were the subject of uni
versal enconium. Daily Wisconsin, Oct 10.

Oh! Sing to me Softly, my Sister.

And smile on me, darling, tonight,
For my soul is eneompassed by darkness,
And shut from the kingdom of light!
walk in life's valley of shadows, -
Where the fountains low murmurs are still,
Where swiftly through gray mist and vapor,
Are gliding pale phantoms of i'll.
Thy voice, like the clear thread of silver,
That winds through the still grassy lane,
Shall steal through my hearts silent chambers,
And waken their music again!
Far away from the clouds of the present,
In the Eden of memory's isle,
What visions of peace and of beauty.
Shall my spirit of sadness beguile!
Once more will rove with sweet fancies,
And think the sweet thoughts of child;
Once more l will gather Youths roses,
The fairer because they are wild.
And the light which l know is immortal,
That shone on young life's dewy hour,
Shall steal from its crystalline portal,
And brighten fair memory's bower.
Then sing to me softly, my sister,
And pour out thy heart in the strain,
Till dream that the beautiful voices
OF childhood are singing again.
So my heart shall grow better and purcr,
And strength to US both shall be given,
To work out priceless salvation,
And sing with our children IN Heaven!

SPRING is the sweet soul of the shrouded year;
Psyche, the butterfly, with painted wings,
Forth issuing from the stony lips Of death.
SUMMERS queen, that to the suns pavilion
Comes with rich gifts and odors, and train
Of rainbow-girdled showers, like Eastern almas,
With tinkling feet, all musical with soft bells.
AUTUMNS stag, that, hunted through The hills,
BY the keen houndke winds, flies, dropping blood,
Or stands at bay in the full pride of beauty.
And WINTER minds me of some lone, wild bird,
That, wandering from the Arctic, makes its nest
In solitary fens, seeking for food
The red marsh berry, and the mailed buds
Of the young, tender branches; or, athirst
Striking its sharp bill through the polished ice
Into the wave below 1t hath no song,
Only few weird notes; and when the sun
Melts in shining pools the snow that lies
In the rock crevices it will go north,
With the white waterfowl, that, troopng, fly
In ranked battalions through the gates of March.

He writes
Four hundred emgrant wagons have arrived il
Oregon this Fall, and six hundred more are on the
way. The surplus population of California is alst
tending this way. There is measure to the mise

the disappointed gold seekers who are destitute bu
industrious, is to and settle upon the rich far
ming lands of Oregon These lands are easily cult
vated and the market for their productions are the
best. at this time, in the world.
There is no such thing quiet in Oregon life all
is excitement. Everybody is seeking wealth. and nc
body values it after it is acquired. They literally
throw dollars to their children to play WITH instead
of pennies and if they fall through the crack of the
floor, 'qui mporte.'
My family is quite contented here for the reason,
suppose, that they find it so much better than they
anticipated. 1t is hard life for lady,, from the
impossibility of getting female servants Most for

woman from st. Louis, who is valuable to us almost

My little girls IL and IS years old, were at school
at the convent kept by the Sisters of Nortre Dame
at Oregon City until May: They are now under the
instruction of an English lady, eight miles from the

they made most of their march from Missouri here
and upon which they ride in, week at the TOP
of their speed, doing the eight miles always within
