We have alluded to the Circular put

ceivod to-day copy Of their letter in
the Boston Courier as follows
The undersigned, old.lino wings of
Massachusetts, while they have been
thus far disposed to wait for the asscmb-
ling Of the Convention, which has been
called by the State Central Committee
for declaration of their purposes in re-
lation to the approaching Presidential
election, yet, finding that advantage is
taken OF the delay to throw doubt on the
views which they entertain, and to Gre.
ate an impression that the only choice is
between Mr.. Buchanan and Mr. Ere.

decided preference for Mr.. Fillmore over

PLAIN TALK.

Speaking Of Buchanan, the New Or.
leans Della has the following very plain
language, which we commend to our
readers, taking into consideration the
fact that the Delta has heretofore been
the leading organ Of the democracy in
Louisiana
"He is not against slavery, says the
South; he is not with slavery, says the
North; he approves the Kansas bill, says
Toombs; he is for 'Squattcr Sovereignty
says Van Buren,; consequently, cries uni.
Versal Fogyism in chorus, he is a "Na.
tionaI Man." 1t is clear, therefore, that
a "Nalonal Man" means little more
than a convenient Janus whose brazcn
and golden faces are exactly of the same
size, or, in less classical but more cx.
pressivc language, chip in the porrdge,
to be stirred at the option Of the office,
seekers, or permitted to rest,
What reason have to suppose (Guoth
the South disconsolateIy) that will i'm.
prove under Mr.. Buchanan more than
did under Mr.. Pierce? Will the adyo
cate Of 'Squottcr Sovereignty extend my
territory and strengthen my hands? viii
he give me Cuba? VIII he understand
the Central. American movement, and act
accordingly? VIII he penetrate the
Mexican puzzle? All me! | fear not
He will view these things as comploccnt.

THE VOICE OF AUTUMN.
BY W. C. BRYANT.

There comes, from yonder height,
A soft, repining sound,
Where forest leaves are bright,
And fall like fakes of light
TO the ground.
1t is the autumn breeze,
That, lightly floating on,
Just skins the weedy leas,
Just stirs the glowing trees,
And is gone.
lie means by sedgy brook,
And visits, with sigh,
The last pale flowers that look
From out their sunny nook,
At the sky.
Der shouting children flies
That light October wind;
And, kissing cheeks and eyes,
He leaves their merry cries
Far behind.
And wanders on to make
That soft uneasy sound
BY distant wood and lake,
Where distant fountains break
From the ground.
No bower where maidens dwell
Can win n moments stay;
Nor fair untrodden dell;
lie sweeps the upland swell,
And away!
Mourn'st thou thy homeless state,
Oh, soft repining wind!
That early seek'st, and late,
The rest it is thy fate
Not to find!
Not on the mountains breast,
Not on the ocean shore,
In all the East and West,
The wind that stops to rest
Is no more.
By valleys. woods and springs,
No wonder thou shouldst grieve
For all the glorious things
Thou TOUGHEST with thy wings
And must leave.

LAND WAnRANTs.--The Washington
Organ says:
Notwithstanding the demand for Land
Warrants continues. quite limited, there
has occurred some improvement in prices
since our last quotations. This improve.
ment is owing to the fact that there are
but few warrants coming into mar et,
country and distant dealers prefering to
hold them up for better prices. If this
practice is generally adhered to, on the
part Of holders Of warrants, we may fairly
calculate that prices will not range much
below one dollar per acre at any time,
yet frequent fluctuations in the market
may be safely anticipated, at least until
the Western Land offices are opened for
the public entry Of warrants.

No star in yonder sky that shines
Can light like woman's eye impart
The earth holds not in all its mines
A gem so rich as woman's heart.
Her voice is like the music sweet
Poured ont from airy harp alone;
Like that, when storms more loudly beat,
ItyicIds clearer, richer tone.
A womnn's loves holy light,
That brighter, brighter burns for aye;
Years cannot dim its radiance bright,
Nor even falsehood quench its ray.
But, like the star Of Bethlehem
Orold, to Israel's sheppard given,
1t marshals with its steady flame
The erriEg soul Of man to Heaven!
