We have seen repeatedly stated
by Washington letter writer's and by

will not accept the nomination of the
Philadelphia fragmentary convention,
He is now in Europe. When he left

divided, and broken into fragments.
We cannot infer from what he may
have said of being made the candidate
Of the entire party, that he will &C..
cept nomination at the hands of q
small fraction of that party. That
MIR. Fillmore would accept a NOM.
from the back Republicans, or north,
ern wing of the know nothing party,
if it were offered him, we have no
doubt. Mr.. Fillmore may make it
convenient not to return home, nor
to respond to bis nomination until
some time in June, after the other
shall have been held.
Until that time his political friends,
and those who are opposed to him,
must remain in doubt on the sub
ect.
About Mr.. Donelson there is no
loubt. (. He accepted right of: So
ae party has one cadidate sure.

ept the nomination, what will the.

Her hand is laid in mine.
And thus we watch the parting sun,
In golden haze decline.
Across the fields the shadows creep,
And up the misty hill;
And we our twilight vigils keep
At our own cottase-sill.
The distant brooklet's murmurs come
Like bell-notes through the leaves;
And many an Insects may hum
Its dreamy music weayes.
The doves last note in ripping beats,
Upon the air departs;
The breath of all our garden sweets
Is creeping to our hearts.
The russet woodbine round our porch
In clustering ringlets twines;
The honeysuckle's crimson torch
CLEANS through the dusky vines;
The sunset rays are trembling now
Amid the treliis-bars-
They paint upon my darling's brow
A glory like the stars.
Her cheek is nestled on my breast,
Her eyes are bright with tears;
a prayer half breathed and half-repressed
My listening spirit hears.
Oh! blessed be the changeless love
That glorifes my life!
All doubt, all fear, all guile, above 81
