My Dear Str: Iintened to speak TO you
more fully upon the subject of the Com
promise Measures than | had an opportu.
nifty to do. The Importance OF the action
of the Convention upon this question can.
not be over.estmated believe there will
be no disposition on the part of the South
10 press resolutions unnecessarily offensive
TO the sentiments of the North. But can
we say as much on our side VIII the
North come cheerfuly up to the mark OF
Constitutional rights II not, breach in
our part is inevitable. The matter should
be met at the threshold, because it rises
above party and looks to the very existence
of the confederacy, The sentiment of no one
State is to be regarded upon this subject
but having fought the battle in New Hamp-
shire upon the fugitive slave law, and Upon
what what we believe to be the ground OF
Constitutional right, we should of course
desire the approval of the democracy of the
country. What wish to say to you, Lally
is this
1t the compromise measures are not 10
be substantially and firmly maintained, the
plain rights secured by the Constitution
will be trampled in the dust What differ
ence can it make to you or me whether the
outrage shall seem to fall OH South Carroll
ma, or Maine, or New Hampshire ? Are
not the rights equally dear TO us all
will never yield to craven spirit that, from
considerations Of policy, would endanger
the Union. Entertaining the views, the
action of the Convention must, in my
judgment, be vital. If we of the North
who have stood by the Constitutional rights
of the Sonth are to be abandoned through
a time-serving policy, the hopes of Democ.
racy and of the Union must sink together
AS told you, my name will not be before
the Convention; but cannot help feeling
that what is there to be done will be i'm
portant to the hopes of democratic pro
grcss and civil liberty.

Gen. Pierce,
ON THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL,

The whig journals, finding it impossi.
hle to attack the private character, or the
nationality of Gen. Pierce's public career.
have begun in rather a housing spirit. ia
ransack the journals Of Congress for his
votes on appropriation bills, with the hope
that, because he voted against that whole.

and Harbor Bill or against isolated meas
ures for the improvement of some insight

pfovoke mean sectlonalsm and deprive
him of few votes.
In this magnanimous and mighty war
the Washington organ of Mr.. Fillmore,
has led OFT, and the Bee has based on its la
uUiious tcevdfciIes tnunJerIng leode,
We have overhauled the journals OF Con.
gress and find that Gen. Pierce did vote
against the River and Harbor bill OF $40,
and after the facts have been fully stated,
we doubt not the people Of Louisiana,
with little distinction of party, will uphold
and approve his course.
Ageneral bill had been framed providing
for the improvement of rivers, harbors.
creeks, inlets, &c, all over the Union, and
appropriating in the aggregate. millions OF
dollars. 1t was complete kog>gotLing af-
fair, and with the view Of getting votes
enough to carry it, here little and there a
little. or in homelv words, "a sop" was
thrown to every member in the shape of an
appropriation for some little miIl-stream
that happened to penetrate his district. In
this way, it was expected to carry through
a bill that made vast appropriations for one
section OF the country, and totally made.
qnate appropriations for objects Of greater
magnitude, in other sect;ols Of the coun.
try.
In these squabbles the South was gener-
ally chisseled; always came off s,cond
best, and had to put up with the bone While
New York, Massachusetts and one or two
favored States get the meat. This system
OF grouping appropriations for thousand
different objects in ole bill, and then fore,
ing that bill through by combination Of
sectional interests, had become great evil,

many members OF Congress Of both par
ties--and party spirit then ran high who
were sincere friends Of judicious Internal
Improvements within the limits OF the Con
stituiions and who would cheerfuIly have

sIppL Or by other national object--xntte1l

From Teanyson's Princess.
Tears, idle tears know not What they
mean,
Tears from the depth OF some divine despair
Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering on a
sail,
That brings our friends up from the under
world.
Sad as the last which redden over one
That sinks withal we love below the verge
So sad, 50 fresh, the days that are no more.

To dylrg ears when unto dying eyes
The easement slowly grows glimmering

So sad, so strange, the days that are no
more.
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'd
On lips that are for others deep as love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret ;
% death in life. the days that are no more.

When last the April-bloom was filming
Sweet odors on the air offspring,
In forest-aisles thy oice was ringing,
Where thou didwith the fed-bird sing
Again the ApriI-bioom is flinging
Sweet odors in the air of spring,
Bat now in heaven thy voice is ringing,
Where thou dost with the angels sing.
When the last maple-bud was swelling,
When last the crocus nIoomed below,
My heart to thine its love was telling
IhY soul with mine kept ebb aud flow
Again the maple-bud is swelling,
Again the crocus bloom below -
In Heaven thy heart is love is telling,
But still our souls heep ebb and flow.
