And nature wears a1ifely hue

With sunshine all the while,
And All the glad and joyouf earth
Seems with delight to smile.
I'll tb;flh d thee ia the summer days,
When by the running brook,
We read the language Of the flowers,
As from an open Dooi;
When the riprlins streams WITH ffeshsF speed
Flow with sweeter strain.
And all The air the wind-harp strings,
a bird-lik4 tone attains.

From the universal expectation that Hon.
Alyah Sabin was to be re-nominatcd by the
Convention at st. Adams yesterday, without
dissenting voice. fewer persons assembled
than would have done, if there had been any
doubt us to the nominee We judged that
125 to $50 were present from different parts
of the district, men Of intelligence and good
purpose-and the proceedings was conducted
in the most harmonious manner. After the
denomination of Mr.. Sabin, he was called
upon for a speech, He alluded modcstlv to
the circumstances of his former eection,-
his feeling while in Congress, that his con-
sttuents would lie better served by his
making himself acquainted with the bust
ness to be done, and aiding it Alright by his
vote, than by his making any speeches for
Buncombe, as the sayingis. He then sketched
in direct and forcble way the course of
things in Congress, especially OIL the measure
which engrossed most Of the time and interest
of the whole session. He exposed the bad
faith involved in the repeal OF the Sth section
Of the Missouri Compromise act, and rightly
spoke of the pretense Of non-intervention set
up by the administration party, as prepo.-
ferrous and contemplate humbug. As well

ed for. He said he should give his voice and
vote with hearty good will, to aid the re-eec-
ton Of the nominee. lie had luborcd honest
y and earnestly in the Frce-soil party in for
mer years, in the hope that as a consequence
to the existence and action of that party, one
of the great political parties Of the coun-
try would lie found to take bold and decided
ground to resist the encroachments of the
Slave power of the nation. lie considered
that ground to be fairly taken now by tue
Wing party Of the North.-that in "a cause
which all advocated alike, there ought to be
ho strife about names wings, Free sellers,
Democrats, were to him words Of no magical
import. To 50 for the right cause, and to be
willing to work heartily with all who agreed
to promote it, he meant to have his rule of
action His speech was good one, and was
loudly apIlaudcd.
Mr.. Weston, Mr.. FELTON,, and Mr. c. Adams.
expressed their warm concurrence in the nom
nation, and their readiness TO do all in their
power 70 secure the election of the nominee.
Mr. Sampson said that though he did not
vote, and thought another way OF getting at
the result of the meeting, viz by appointing
nominating committee, would have been
more acceptable to some, he thought the result
was right, and lie should give Mr.. Sabin an
earnest support.
