Shadows they come, while the angry drum
And the trumpet fierce the war-note sound;
Calmly and solemn marching in column,
But noiseless their feet along the ground
Heading the lines, where standard shines;
banner of fire to daunt the foe;
This sacred band, from the unknown land,
Has joined our ranks, as On we 60.
Far ia the van, like livingm man,
Rides the kingly shade of Hero gone,
The CHIEFTAIN-SAsE OF the HERMITAGE!
And his flaming sword waves-On march ON

The AUGUST ELECTIONS. Elections have been
held in five States of the Union, Iowa, Missouri,
North Carolina, Texas and Arkansas, and all have
gone in favor of the democrats by large majortes.
Iowa has elected a Democratic Governor, Demo-
cratic Legislature, securing a Democratic United
States Senator, member of Congress Democrat
and the other Wing. Missouri has given Demo-
cratic majority for Governor of several thousands,
and elected three Democrats to Congress to two
Whigs-a gain OF one member. Arkansas is Demo-
cratic usual. So undoubtedly is Texas. In North
Carolina, the Democrats have elected their Governor
by majority of nearly quite 6,O0O-doube the
majority of 185O-and have also majority in the
Legislature, securing Democratic U. S. Senator in
the place of Mr. Mangum. Not single beam of
light has fallen upon the prospects Of the Wings so
far. Iowa and North Carolina contested ground,
and in each the myrmidons of Scott strained every
to victory. The result looms up in
startling signifcanc and the Wing leaders of
the doom that awaits them in November next Even
the home of Graham frowns on Wing prospects, and
Wings are routed with loss of 5000 killed, to say
nothing of the wounded who will not be able to sup
port Scott The tendency of public opinion has been
ascertained, and it is most decidedly towards the
election of the Democratic candidate for the Presiden-
cy. This result regard as certainty.
