The subioned extracts from the message Just delivered
TO the New York Legislature by Governor Seymour will
be read with interest and profit By all good democrats
We have seldom seen the distinctive doctrines OF de.

should present compact and united strength against

Esg- The prize Of 800 offered by the
COsmo potan Art and Literary Association, of
Sandusky, for the best Ode to the Greek Sidre,
has been awarded to Augustine Duganne, Of
New York City. There we're 170 competitors
for the prize. The Committee who were to
make the selection and award, was composed Of
Messrs. Storrs Willis, Hiram Fuller and Bayard
Taylor. Among the number was one by "Co.
RAJ" of Fremont, which we give below; it is
certainly very beautiful. Although it did not
draw the prize, the fair Authoress need have no
regrets tha, she sang to the Marble Beauty, as
II was but second to Mr.. Duganne's:
Dream of the sculptor's soul! what spell d.
vine,
Breathes from thy silent form, while thus
gaze
Along each rou nded limb, and chisel'd line
And Fancy b ows to thee in sweet amaze!
Turn sensual eye, abashed! here is no glow
No heshly tint OF warm aud breathing pride;
N o passion pulse upheaves that bosom's snow
But pure as vestal hame--the marble bride.
And ia ir as dreams of poets is the grace
OIL mb and feature; chaste as Dana's kiss
The curling lip the eloquent charm OF face
The silence that is beauty-the beauty that
is bliss!
gaze upon thee, till thy semblance seems
Quiverng with life the tide of young emotion
Creeps trembling thro' thy delicate limbs land
dreams
OF tenderness an d woman's strong devotion,
Light up thy pale calm brow! the faith of gods
Seems erving thee to wear the Calling
chain;
Fetter'd but not bowie down: the wrongs and
frauds
or men shall harm thee not-thou art not
slain!
Who knoweth what thy mission among men!
Or Of thine influence o'er the human hearth
Th ou hast thy lessons too. for mortal ken,
So mute, and yet, 80 eloquent thou art!
Thou hast thy teachings; and the seuIptor's
pray'r
For wrong'd humanity isbreath'd in stone:
Cold child OF beauty in thy chain'd despair
Thou hast spell that monarchs may not
own.
Net the proud strength of mailed limb and hand,
Nor thrilling voice that calls the battle hour!
Type of thy race! in meek endurance stand:-
Thy frozen sorr ow hath yet greater power
power o'er human sympathy! tho spell
or tears is thine hear the song and story
or other days, ere freedoms bann ers fell,
And bright the beacon shone OF G recian glory;
hear-and visions come Of future years
When sid Ccs shall sing the peans OF the free
When cha ins shall fall and eyes forget theil
tears
And Peace shall wave her palm OF victory!
"Sermons in stones"-yes, Slavery speaks from
thee.
Clasping its fetter'd hands in sad appeal!
Teach thou Humanity the slave to see
The soul to pity, aud the heart to feel.
