The bolt" at the American Convention

NOT so BAD AFTER ALL--THE FEELING or
THE CONVENT ION UPON THE NomINA-
TIoNs.
The telegraph announced two or threa
days ago that no less than six entire North
ern delegations, and portions of four or five
others, bolcd" the American National
Convention before the nominations were
made We have Philadelphia papers of
the 28th, which represent the case somewhat
differently.
There were twentyseven States original
ly epresented-Georgia, Vermont, South
Carolina, and Maine. the remaining four.
sent no delegates. The New Hampshire.
Connecticut, and Iowa delegation seeded.
together with portion of the Indiana dcl-
egafion, six members of the Pennsvlvania
delegation, two of the Illinois, and two O..

adopted an address, calling for a Con

ceders alluded to, comprise a majority of the
following delegations: Ohio, Michigan. Wis
consin, and stragglers from other Northern
delegations.
Thus, it will be seen, the "splt" which
seems to have given the anti American or
gans such huge satisfaction, amounts TO n
vast deal less than they would be glad to
see

town, few evenings since, Il conclavc of some six
melancholy individuals sat. II was the hour when
graveyards yawn, and the hoot of the funcrial

solcmnity and dolclulncss. For long time the
dread silence in that deserted tenement was un-
broken save by an occasional and violent sob that
seemed to well up from the very hearts core
Sadness and extreme sorrow seemed to have
ploughcd deep burrows in the countcnanccs of
those young men which concentrated into an ag-
onizcd expression as from time to time they fur
lively gazcd upon each other. A grief so intense,
so oycrpowng, mist have audible vent, and now,
as if by prcconCcrtion, the eyes of each were suf

d" 4 SISTERS APPEAL. There is a melancholy
sweetness in the following lines written for the
JOURNAL by young lady in Illinois. " Sisters
Appeal" What theme could sparkle 80 brightly
in the fountain of pocsy! What theme could SO
sensitvely and quickly arouse the pathetic inspi-
ration Of kindred heart. While We welcome 10
our columns these tender and touching lines, and
accord to them the greetings of admiration which
true genius never fails to exact, we are not inca
pable of sympathizing with the sister who feels
her loss so deeply. That this appeal will be sue
ccssful (ior no advocate was ever more sincere,)
we sincerely trust The brother who will permit
himself to he separated from such an idol does
not appreciate the true worth of the loved at

BY II. l.. ADAMS.

/ We miss thee sadly brother, from onr broken band
Those who gathered oft around our ancient hearth
Have fed The ties so closely knit are sadly sun
dcrcd
Some scattered far some in the valley lOwy lie
And as the chilling zephyrs fan the living brow,
/ Or bowling winds sweep DER the lonely dead,
Our bleeding hearts gush forth anew
And as in days of yore, when severed first from
ye, or living loved,
/ Or earth received the sacred relics of our dead
/ We feel the bitterness of life
! And rs we backward farther gaze into Oblivious
depths,
Pale memory comes. and lifts the sable pail
There We behold an honored sire, low bending
At the fOotstoOl of the cross. Aud as he knccls
| With reverend brow, his trembling voice upliftcd
high
Reaches the Fathers throne. and brings blessing
On his hOary head. We too, unworthy children
of our sire,
Are bcst-a are douhly blest,
While with parental care upon the cOnsccratcd
hearth
Each tarnishcd link is brought, and there relend
BY Heavens celestial fire.
o, happy day thrice happy were we then;
When thus around one common altar We the loved
ones bent,
And there in accents hushed and low, to Heavens
Eternal King.
Poured forth our hearts.
But o how changed the scene:
Low in the depths of earth our reverend sire il
And sister there and brother too lie wthcring
with the dead
While far on Calais. distant coast,
Our mothers pride and hope is staying.
Earth hath no charms can WOO the saintcd spirit
back
The soul transported once across Deaths dark
some wave
Asks not return Far, far beyond this fading
realm,
30 storms arise the trusting soul to shake
Lo, in the heights Of glory far obscure from NOR
tai light
around them pour.
All no earth hath no charms to lure those loved
ones back,
We ask it not. But O. the fcrvant soul sincerely
hrcathcs
One fond desire, that we the loving, loved,
May meet once more around our ancient hearth !
b, other, too long thou st stayed,
/ The heart that n0urishcd thee grows old
The ustrc of her eye grows dim and deeply fur
Is that angel brow With fearful eye and sad
dcnCd heart
She ycarns to greet once more the pride, the hope
the solacc
Of her doting years.
Then tarry not, Q. tarry not Each passing day
H'''
And soon, nh far in the earth,
Hid from thy warm embrace.
Pale, pdic and lusrclcss, thy sleeping mother lies
Then fly ia her the wealth of worlds cant
buy u love like hers;
The gittcrng dust of CALAIS richest mines,
Or pearls of oceans caves. may not with her com
pare
Then homcward fly her lonely heart to cheer.
There too thy sisters dear with oustrctchcd arms
extending far,
And ycarning hearts and longing eyes in anxious
hope
Await thy fond rctnrn
Then chidc me not my own loved brothcr
For this my fond appeal
What is the wealth Of gold or what the price OF
pearls
To kindred hearts.
