Touch him gently the treasure how swcetly he lies,
With the seal of deep rest his beautiful eyes,
Ard light his brow, as though some angels wing
Had just dipped in the cry stc of LIES holy Spring.
nd besprinked DER with the sweet drops OF peace,
Wher the pale hand of Death gave the spirit release
Scatter fov'rs on his pillow and let their sweet breath
Float like incense around the still chamber of death;
place a bud in his hand-nOt more purely dies.
Than the bud that has faded before our dim eyes;
But it bears bright hope In its beautiful breast,
So we'll lay it away with our darling to res.
And the hope that brings, to our hearts we Will take,
II will tighten the load that would else bid them break
For twill point land where our bright bud shall Ill om
With no shadow TO dim and no breath from the tomb
To steal chill DER its beauty and bear IT way
From our fond sight in darkness and dust to decay.
Thus tits earth; all the brightest ana best
Are snatched from DOsoms aud borne to their rest
Ere the shadow ofsorrow has dmm'd the pure heart
Holy angels allure them, to bear glad part
In the anthems of glory and rapture that rise
From the Temple Of Bliss, to the Lord Of the Skies.

~ The Democratic papers are very much
in the habit of calling Gen. Scott "a hum
bug" We would thank some of them to in
form US when and where it was that he PROV
ed himself humbug. -LouisriAe Journal.
He proved himsclf ga humbug'' when he
declined to accept challenge from Andrew
Jackson, upon the ground of religious scrupIes,
and the next year challenged De Witt Clin-
ton, Governor of New York, whom he knew
was bound by his oath of off not to fight 4
duel.-Cm. Eng.
Now. the Locoroco press has certainly used
this disgusting capital long enough. The
fact is, Gen. Jackson never challenged Gen.
Scott, and Gen. Scott never challenged De
Witt Clinton, and at the time he is said to
have done so, there was no clause in the
New York constitution which prevented the
Governor Of that State by his oath of office,
to fight duel. Upon such falsities do these
LocofocOs depend to injure a brave old hero.

Conversational Candidates.

We are gratificd to hear that Reavis ID
gaining ground in every place where he has
a conflict with his opponent, Miller. We I'M
derstand, that in Wing localities, or in places
not strongly Democratic, Miller comedies
with Reavis in nearly every opinion ne Ut
tiers, so that our candidate then finds he has
a valuable auxiliary in the propagation OF his
opinions. But when they get into Demo-
cratic stronghold, Miller is rampant Loco
foco. and tries to make out Reavis nothing
but a red-mouthed Wing, to whom truth and
dccency are strangers. We don't believe
this game will win. Mr.. Reavis is privately
and publicly, the same thing everywhere
He is an honest man--honest in his principles.
honest in his dealings, and honest in his lam
puage. We are not acquainted with Mr..
Miller,ybut his friends know best whether OIL
not the same can be truthlully said of him
We hope the people of this District will hon.
estly and candidly consider the merits of these
two gentlemen, and decide for themselves in.
to the hands of which they can best entrus
the important interests of the District.

10 charge made against us in the New
Albany Ledger of the 18th inst, in connec-
ton with the Democratic meeting in Louis
vile on the night of the 18th, and nterfer-
ence in the Hon. VIM. j. Browns speaking
&C., the edt,r of the Ledger will understa nd
us as saying is entirely false, and we shall
take pleasure in repeating the denial in
stronger language when we can meet him
face to face. BY inquiry Of Gov. Powell Of
Kentucky, in whose company we were near
ly all the latter part of that evening, the ed
itor of the Ledger will find himself mistaken
and We hope in such case that he is sufficient
iy gentleman to correct the mistake.

Circuit Court.

We had reporter at the Court yesterday,
to make notes of anything which might in
tersst the readers of the Journal or the COM
munity at large. He remained till about
o'clock, and left in perfect disgust. To that
hour nothing had actually been done from the
commencement. Case after case was called
nothing was ready-witnesscs were not
present-Judge was mild and amiablc-a few
attachments were forced out, and that's all.
The day previous it was the same way, when
the Judge told lawyers and witnesses to be
ready at o'clock yesterday morning or suf-
fer the penalty. AT 8 O'Clock there appear
ed to be no case ready for trial. Witness az
ter witness was called, as we have said, but
it was no go. The Prosecuting Attorney
thought there was no use in serving attach
ments and filming as according to past expe-
rience, the fines or forfeitures Of recogni.
zance would be RENTED next Court, and the
witnesses did not care a copper for them
If this be truth, it is disgrace. We leave
comment to those interested. If they DOM
care, we don't care the first darned bit.

The Prospects.

Certainly the prospects from almost every
quarter of the country, were never more flat
tering for success of Wing candidate for the
Presidency, than at this time. We had an
opportunity last week at Louisville, of con-
versing with Wings from various States of the
Union, or of receiving indirectly from them
information OH the subject of the respective
prospects of the two candidates. Certainly
if we had ever before had doubts of the cleo
ton of Gen. Scott, they were dissipated by
what we then and there heard From every
quarter came the most cheering news. The
Wings are at ,cork-lhcy are united. That is
enough. There were no reports of distrsc-
traction or difference, but a firm determna-
ton everywhere manifested to fight shoulder
to shoulder through the contest, and triumph
antly elect the Wing candidate. In some
places, there was but little outward excite
ment, as in various parts of our own State,
but there was silent working reported,
which promised as effectual results as though
markedb the greatest enthusiasm.
AhC w poi mas HhOot lOt-
an enemy which can only be beateu by the
strongest united effort. No matter who may
be their candidate-aye, no matter if it bs
90 small man as Franklin Pierce-t is the
same. They rally around their candidate
glorify him as something above mortality, ant
Islander his opponent, though he be a Harr-
son, Clay, Taylor or Scott, as something
infinitely beneath. We then urge it as
happy sign in the armament OF our prospects
that the Wings all over the Union, appear t.
be proftirg by the experience OF the past, ST
far as to know that even Gen. Pierce canno
be beaten without defeat of the Who'll,
Democratic party, which can only be achiev
ed by hard work, untiring zeal, and genera
unition Of feeling and action. And ther,
we have got them, for the Wing Party 4
now at work, and with a concert of actor
which cannot fail to secure success. Ever,
man then to his duty, and the day is ours.

AZ Gen. Cass, in late speech in New
York, predicted that Mr.. Pierce would occu-
py the Presidential Chair next March. He
then continued-when he left it, it would be
to everybody's satisfaction. We have no
doubt in the world of that. The who e
country would, no doubt, be on fire with en-
thusiastic and heartfelt joy, the day he left
the chair. But it is scarcely probable he will
have the pleasure Of taking position so far
above his deserts.

From AUsTRALIA.-We have an interest.
ing letter on hand for publication tomorrow
from gentleman of this city, who is now in
Australia, or was at the time of the writing
of his letter, May 2, making an examination
of that country. Such an interest is now
being felt in these new golden regions, as
there was few years since in California, SO
that letter direct from there must prove
deeply interesting.

nominated by the Wing convention assem-
bled at Lagrange last Saturday, as candidate
for Congress in that District, to 6.l the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation of Hon.
II. Marshall Col. Preston is a staunch
Wing, an eloquent speaker, and man of de-
cided ability. He will certainly be elected
too, and will make an excellent Representa-
tive.

0F The Fair lately held at Lexington
KY, was a splendid exhibition of agrcultu-
raj and mechanical productions. 1t was

seats around the ring, capable of seating ten
thousand persons, were entirely filled BY
ladies'! We should think the exhibition Of
that kind of Give stock" was totally unap.
proachable by anything that has been OF

Scott "never could stand fire in the rear"
Perhaps Gen. Pierce, in the estimation of
his friends, has greatly the advantage of him
in that respect. We have no doubt that a
man who quietly submitted at card-tabie to
a slap in the front would on the same occasion
have submitted with equal quietness to fire
in he rear,
