Henr'st thou the purling stream
Thsts through the flowers sotIly gliding,
with notes SO ,weetly, gently breaking
On nv ear 10 rapture waklngT
Hear'st thou not its sunny dream,
Murmured In its music gliding!
See the rose-lip,
In it dipping
See it sip,
As its Skipping
R,er with such lips, their sweetness bringing
That stream will flow, thus softly singing
Hearst thou not the woodland bird
That sings upon the mountain tree,
Whose notes are wandering Ger eacn zeal,
And echoing from cliff TO cllt
Hears, thou not those sad notes stirred
From out his breast once gally freef
See that high cliff
Der him bending
See that leaf
It's shadow lending
Thus, with such foliage round him ciinging
That mateless bird, is sadly singing
Hearst thou not the signing breeze
That hangs its strain on leaf and Hover
That on the wave in song ls playing,
And DER the hill in music strayng2
Hearst thou not the trilling keys
PLAYED on in the leaflet bower?
See the proud vine,
It's flowers giving
See it twino
Where perfumes breathing
Thus, with such fragrance DER 1t tilnging,
That breeze will flow, in sweetness, singing!

Friends Of Scott.

We address you thus rather than as
Wings because, all over the State, there are
hundreds never before recognised as wings,
who intend voting for the gallant Old Pat
riot who has so long and SO faithfully serv-
cd his country.
1t is in your power to carry this State at
the approaching elections. Let no one be-
come discouraged because of former de-
feats. A majority of the voters ofthis
State, we are very confident, desire the
election of Gen. Scott, and if they can all
be brought to the polls, the electoral vote
of the State will be given to him. This can
only be done by the most active, energetic
and thorough organizations, in every town.
ship We do not object to stump-speaking.
Often much good is accomplished by it;
but, that Wing who will go to work and
organize his township will accomplish more
good than can be done in any other way
by one man.
In every township in the State may be
found men who have heretofore voted with
our opponents that arc now inclined to
vote for Gen ScoTT Let all such be
sought out, and let the proper information
be placed before him to enable him to ar
rive at a correct conclusion. Let all such
be reasoned with and they cannot but see
that it for their country's good that Gen
ScoTT should be the next President,
Let the friends of General Scot
make vigorous effort for the State
ticket at the October election The result
of that election cannot fail having some In
(luence on the November election, 1t i:
important, then, that it should be carried
by the friends of Gen. ScoTr. Let every
man 90 to work, and it will be done.

A SIGN FROM IowA.-We rejoice, says the
Washington Republic, to see that the Iowa
Stats Zeitung, which has been published
for the last four years, at Dubuque, as a
Democratic paper, has withdrawn the
names of Pierce and King from its columns,
and raised the flag of Scott and Graham.
The large gains of the Wing party at the
recent election in that State, predicated up
on the then late nomination of Scott. and
the ardor with which the Wings are enter
ing into the canvass, with many encour-
aging signs from the numerous and intel
hgent German population in the State, leave
us little room to doubt that we shall carry
Iowa triumphantly for the Wing ticket
We warmly welcome Stats Zeitung as a
CO. laborer in the cause
