NATURES SONG OF LOVE.

NATURES SUNG VI LIVE,
Oh Natures heavenly music
Is floating on the air,
On wind and stream and wavelet,
From bud and foweret fair;
Soft Ter my heart it hingeth
It's gushing melody,
And overmore il singeth
It's sweet song unto me.
The bubbling brooklet onward flows,
And gushcs forth in song,
While murmuring breezes, floating by
The ripping notes prolong
The warbling birds, with merry trill
A iorf-lay ever sing
The flowers from forth their fragrant lips
A r0ictiss music fling.
The sportiyc winds sweep through the trees,
And sing with changing tones.
Their soft and sweet and soothing strains.
Mingled with plaintiye means
The sea its lofty anthem rolls,
And gloriously it sings
Rich music in its chime enfolds.
That cver-changing rings.
The moon IT, silver melody
Oer tbi, fair world doth ding.
And. in the dawn their morning lay
The stars together sing
On The bright lips Of the flowers
That bloom uVon the sod,
The birds that trill their loving notes
Into the ear Of God
The clear east wind that bringttl
The roaring Of the sea
The soft north breeze that fingeth
It's fragrance 0 or the lea
All have voice ihat ,ingeth
A lJr.-song, louI and free;
From Nature h,01 it springcth,
Our Father up 10 Thee

THE public will be gratifed to learn that ths
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that eirArangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation OF the great
number then desirous TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Janero ut the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence of
passengers in going forward against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions now all removed.
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des
patch.

The Ratification Meeting.
The Standard says:


awe invite attention 10 the inquiry of the
people as to the reasons why there has not
been a meeting to ratfy the Democratic nomi
nation. There is for such ratification prece
dent worthy to be follow 3D. We well remember
the enthusiasm with which the nomination of
Mr. Polk was received and promptly ratified
It pave an impulse to his eau Q which was felt
in other States throughout the canvass; it fur.
nished proof inconteslible that South Carolina,
whilst she chose to keep aloof from the conven-
ton, was etil ready to give a hearty support to
the man of her principles. The present Demo.
cratic nominee belongs to the same school that
Mr. Polk did. He stood up manfulIy for the
annexation of Texas; he has always opposed the
tariff, and in every respect he has the entire
confidence ofthe Constitution party. Then let
US scorn to give him only reluctant, ungracious
vote, as if it were wrung out of ns forced
choice between evils. Such spirit bellies the
character Of our noble State, and chills the ar
dor of our Southern friends. Let us then have
a prompt, hearty ratification of the ticket"
The Evening Ne,cs says:
"The names of the distinguished fellow
citizens which appear at the head of our column
are presented to the citizens of Charleston, and
the State. for their approval, as candidates for
the two highest Offices in the gift Of the people
of the United States It will be admitted that
a more UNI xceptionable Democratic nomination
could not have been mnde. under the circum-
starces--one that was made with perfect un
animity-with the most disinterested surren
der of personal claims, and generous acquies
cence on the part of all the rival candidates.
General Pierce, although he does not come be-
fore the American public with the historical
antecedents of some Of the Democratic candi
dates, il not undi-tinguished among those who
have place on the roll Of national fame. He
has served in the Senate with credit to his
State, and honor to himself Those with whom
he has come into political intercourse on that
public sphere, speak approveingly Of ha firm
ness, his consistency, his intelligence and intel
lectuaI merit. He has no sectionalism---no
party predictions above and beyond tie Con-
stitution
"Col. King, of Alabama, is so well known to
his Democratic feIlow-clizens, that it is only
necessary to announce his name to eneure gen.
eral attention and respect He has represented
his State for many senatorial terms, and has
presided over the Senate with unsurpa sed dig
nifty ability, and impartia'ity.
these distinguished fellow citizens occupy
platform that must render them acceptable to
the Democracy of the whole Upion, the State
Rights men in every portion of the South and
we hope and trust to the people OF South Caro-
lima.
"We therefore call upon all who approve Of
the nominations made by the Baltimore conven
ton to resemble at an early period 10 endorse
the nomination ofPerce, of New Hampshire, for
President, and King, of Alabama, for Vice Pres
ideut Of the United States"
