We clip from the Pioneer. The authoress should
favor the public oftener with her sweet musings
AUTUMN.


AUTUMN.
.i $500 IS ny JANE GAY.
Summer Is gone, and the Autumn
With stately solemn tread,
Comes on like q King with his banners
Waving above his headl
see the mist the river;
Ihear the breeze the hills
And the cricket all day in the meadow
Is chirping loud and shrll
Few flowers doth Autumn cherish,
And he not the robe of green
Which Spring, In her loom of beauty,
Wove fair for the Summer-Q Queen -
But he loveth the gold and purple
In which oden monarchs dressed,
And the scarlet plumes OF the warrior
Are waving above his crest:
Few blossoms doth he care for,
Yet he loveth the Aster wild,
And the lowly blue Frnged-Gentlan
Is the Autumns angel child
Pure as the Springs first violet,
1t nestles upon his breast,
Though sure am that h. lOveth
The red-lipped Lobelia best!
Go forth to the fields gray poet
There are tones to greet thee there;
Whole volumes OF unwrittcn music
Are floating through the air;
And up through the msts OF the mountains
Are glimpses of glory, bright
AS thy lifelong dream of the Beautiful
Or the blind childS dream light!
know not why-but from childhood
The Autumn's voice hath
Been dearer than the Springs soft breeze,
Or the Summers melody!
And though 1t awaken dim echoes
and lCngings cannot define,
1t leaves in my soul blessing,
And happier life is mine.

Minnesota, we still adhere to the old landmarks
of the party, and are in favor of the great ma

the leading statesmen of the party during the

which we regard judicious system of national
improv emcnts, protection of home industry; the
right of every actual settler to 100 acres of Gov
eminent and, land a liberal system of cducatio On
for the people.
Resolved, That the Wings Of this council dis

and that henceforth cngraft into time hon
orcd platform, the glorious principles of Neal
Dow. and other reforms until rum shall be ban
ishcd from our midst.

hearts are prepared to defend the cause, and we
trust every whig in the district will be up and
doing his utmost to battle the ''enemy'' until the
worthy nominees of this Convention, which we
present to-day to the people of this district shall!
be triumphantly elected to the House of Repre-
sentatives of this Territory.
