LET THE HEART BE BEAUTIFUL.

So the heart, the heart is beautiful
Icare not for the face,
I ask not what the form may lack
OF dignity or grrce;
II the mind be filed with glowing thonghts
And the soul with sympathy,
What matter though the cheek be pale,
Or the eye lack brlliancy.
Though the cheek the cheek is beautiful
1t soon may lose its bloom,
And the lustre ofthe eye be quenched
In the darkness of the tomb:
But the glory OF the mind will live
Though the bloom oflife depart,
And OIL the charm can never die
OF true and noble heart.
The lips that utter kindly thoughts
Have beauty ell their own
For gentle words are sweeter far
Than music's softest tone;
And tnough the voice be harsh or shriil
That bids the oppressed 60 free,
And soothes the woes Of the sorrowing one,
The voice is sweet to me.

A Wing Paper on Nebraska.

The Baltimore American, after alluding to
the signs Of the formation of new sectional
party at the north, comments as follows on the
Kansas-Nebraska bill -
g A brief period will convince the most in
credulous that the Nebraska bill, in all but
the barren principle it enunciates, is triumph
of which the north will reap the substantial
advantages. The belief has already been ex-
pressed in our columns that slavery will never
permanently enter Nebraska or Kansas, and
the impulse which has been given to free en-
igration to them by their territorial organiZa-
ton will speedily convert that belief into an
actual certainty. They will be declared by
the actual occupation of free settlers, free ter
ritory and BY bond stronger than any line
of compromise, because irrepealable, will open
their vast area, sufficient for the formation of
half score of states, to free labor and its cog
nate institutions. Extended organizations, to
which sectional feeling will impart its power
ful stimulus, have been put into operation to
accomplish this in a period of unexampled
briefness as compared with the settlement Of
other portions of our country. The north will
thus gain, with a celebrity which probably no
process would have accomplished, number
of new states Her territory will be enlarged
and her representation increased by measure
which has excited her strongest denunciatiOns
and awakened a spirit Of hostility to the south
which in all candor appears to us both unjust
and unmerited. The south in the meantime
gains nothing but the declaration of princi-
pie which may or may not prove servlceable
to her in the future. This being the case we
are convinced that very brief interval Of the
calmness that is sure TO follow the present ag-
itation will convince the good sense of the
northern people that they are contending for
mere chimera, in the pursuit of which it is
impossible for them to accomplish any object
more worthy than the exaltatiOn of the Garrison
and Greeley fanatics, or the earning for them
selves the vocation of the cat whom the mon
key made useful in pulling his chestnuts out
of the fire."

New Hampshire.

Faction, free soilism and coalition are doing
their worst and most desperate work in the
Granite State but the noble resolutions OF
the State Convention, composed Of delegates
fresh from the people, constitute sure guar
anty that the New Hampshire Democracy,
firm and enduring as her granite hills, will
come out victorious. The Nashua Gazette
says g.
The action of the Convention-of represen-
tatives of the Democracy, fresh from the peo-
pie is hailed with pleasure by every true dem
ocrat we have seen. II shows the New Hamp-
shire democracy it shows that her democra-
cy is still a national democracy, and not a
sham, or mongrel, free soil, and tcmporising
democracy. She is still the ROCK Of the
New England Democracy-she stands as
proudly erect and as firm as she did in 1910,
when the tempestuous waves Of federalism
surged and beat upon her in vain; when eve
ry State between New Hampshire and Vir-
ginia gave way and deserted from the demo-
cratic banner; and when all seemed lost but
honor and principle. Faction, free sOilism
and federalism NAV do their utmost, but the
New Hampshire democracy will not waver.
1t maintains its ancient principles and with
those principles inscribed upon its banner it
will go into the approaching canvas confident
of victory. Let the democracy, then, close
up ITS ranks, and 60 into the coming battle re-
solved to achieve such victory as will silence
faction and its revolving satellites, whiggery
and free soilism, for quarter of century.
With platform, upon which every true dem
ocrat can stand without blush and without
the slightest misgiving, brilliant future
awaits u.s.

If ever In our political experience We were
made happy by any result, il was on Wednes-
day last, when at Portland We witnessed the
deliberations and final action of the Demo-
cratic State Convention. 1t was cheering to
mingle with the representatives of the democ-
racy from all parts Of the state, and find but
one feeling-onc sentiment prevailing, viz ;
the desire and the determination to act together
in spirit Of brotherly love; and leach with
each: and I" all with all !" use our utmost en-
beavers to redeem the state from the hands of
whiggery, where it has been thrown by foul
treachery and base means; and once more
proudly over our beloved domain having been
raised to Its ancient position by the PEOPLE,
the majority-the real " SIMON PURE" democ-
racy. The published proceedings will give
our readers the doings of the Convention
The large number in attendance, composing
the old, substantial and tried democracy of
Maine, proved conclusively that a feeling,
deep, sincere and determined, existed with the
party, which feeling was to blot out the pOliti-
cal stain now resting upon us, and abandon
ing all isms, prejudices, and personal feelings,
to move in one solid mass in this work of re-

at the Convention, such was the result Of its
deliberations, and we confidently tellOur read

Faction, bargaining, corruption, outside is

prevent such result The fate of the disor-
ganizers is sealed. They tremblingly beheId
their doom and mournfullv read their sentence
at Portland on the 2lst INST. Hoping-yea
confidently expecting division in our ranks,
they pleased themselves with fanciful illusions
as to the future-when they should, by their
corrupt and dishonest means get power, Of

nomination of that faithful, firm, able and tried
democrat, ALBION K. PARIS, has come upon
the opposition, both the wings and the disor-
ganizers, like bomb shell, scattering con-
fusion, dismay and terror around.
We most heartily congratulate the democra-
cy of the state on the result thus far, and we
are sure we shall have cause to still farther
congratulate them in September, for our wor-
thy nominee is to be triumphantly elected,
and the ship of state is once more to be in
charge Of veteran and experienced pilot, un-
der whose administration she has in years past
so successfully sailed.
The duty Of the democracy from now until
the day of election, is plain and clear. 1t is
for them to act, to labor, and victory of
which they will be proud, will surely crown
their efforts. Every inducement now presents
itself for them to labor. We urge them to
continue on in the good work they have begun,
and blow severe and fatal will be given to
faction and dishonesty, and glorious triumph
Of principle and right be their reward.
