In Summer, when the days were long,
We walked together in the wood f;
Our heart was light, our step was strong,
Sweet iutterings were there in our flood,
In summer. when the days were long.
We loved. and yet we knew it not
For loving seemed like breathing them
We found heaven in every spot;
Saw angels, too. in all good men;
And dreamed Of God in grove and grot.
In Summer, when the days are long,
Alone L wander, muse alone
i see her not but that old song,
Under the fragrant wind is blown,
In Summer, when the days are long
Alone / wander in the wood
But one fair spirit hears my sighs;
And half see, SO glad and good,
The honest daylight of her eyes,
That charmed me under earlier skies
In Summer, when the days are long,
love her as we loved of DID,
My heart is light, my step is strong,
For love brings back those hours of gold,
In Summer, when the days are long.

The New LoooFoco DOCTRINE, promulgated
at Cincinnati and endorsed by the Buchanan
Union savers, that Congress has no jurisdic-
tion over slavery in the national territories
because it is a domestic institution, will yet,
If carried out, lead to terrible results. Mar
riage is also a domestic institution, and if
shareholders have the right to introduce their
property anywhere in our territories, then
have the polyganists of Utah, with their do
zens of wives, the right of introducing polyga-
my. The doctrine is monstrous, and Chris
tian men, aye and women too, should pause
and reflect deeply before they lend themselves
to such political prostitution.

aaELP ME. cAsIus. Or I SINK :.

The Albany Erening Journal says that the
Buchananites are calling for s'Help!'' The
loud pulsations OF the public heart for FREE
DOM and Fremont alarm them. Hence the call
for money, embodied in the following circular
forwarded to us by-s Post Master who rcceiv-
ed it (pRIvATE.)
TO The Posi- Atcster Of -.
DEAR SIR-At private consultation of the
leading Democrats of the Union held in this
city, Immediately upon the adjournment OF
Cincinnati Convention, it was recommended
that each Postmaster be requested TO contri-
butte an amount proportionate to the receipts
of their respective offices. Upon examining
the returns of the Post Office Department 1t is
found that your proportion will be three dol
lars, which yen will confer favorby remit
ting by return of mail.
The principal object in making these collec-
tions is to throw into the doubtful States an
immense quantity Of speeches and documents
in favor OF the policy of the Democratic par
y, and also TO assist in defraying the expen-
ses Of speakers that viii be employed during
the coming canvass. You viii therefore per-
ceive that every Post Master ,cho Ci,he, Jfo: a
continuance Of his fetal position will find it
for his interest to use every effort TO bring O.
bout so desirable result.
gC-Post Masters are appealed to because
they are considered the representatives OF the
party in their respective localities, and being
the recipients of the patronage of the Admin
istration, it is but just that they should COM
ply with its demands.
Please send US the name of some reliable
leading Democrat in your town whom We can
confer with hereafter.
Address, PERRIN ". Brown, Jun.
Washington City, (D.C-) 1856.
Instead Of sending the s'three dollars to
Washington, as requested, the gentleman ad-
dressed sent it to us 10 pay for ten copies of
the Campaign paper! This may be taken
as i ST ignificant s.sign OF the tiInes.''

parson yonder.-Here, parson Jones, come
hither ~
y man of vulgar appearance-his face beto-
kening the habit of constant potations-now
came forward, book in hand, and wearing a
faded surplice which hung in disorder from his
shoulders.
'sLook at him. exclaimed Daslwood, with
ali air of ruflianly effrontery. 81 call all per-
sons present to witness that this is true blue
parson, (Giles Jones by name,) whom l have
brought with me all the way from Scragg's
Greek, believing that should want his seryi-
ces. So, Parson Jones, spout away: here am
I, and here is Miss Mary who doubtless is will
ling enough, ouIy little coy. Oakman, stand
by the ropes. Now then, my dear, you had
best be pliable, or your brother will have to
swing for it -
He essayed to take her hand, but though
faint and scarce conscious of what she did,
she thrust it away with instructive disgust.
'sString him up, Oakman - exclaimed
Eastwood, his face infamed with rage. Cup
to the raftcrs with him I'll not be fooled in
this way -
Oakman was in the act of obeying, when the
hOtliCli, Will tHS RESOLUTION OF despair, threw
themselves in his way. While he rudely
struggled against their frantic efforts, the door
flew open, and a score or more of men rushed
into the room, overthrowing Eastwood and
his murderous tool, and disarming their mates.
Frank was released, and Mary found herself
in the arms of Castor, whe, in a few words
told her how he had been apprised by accident
of DashwOoG's probable designs, which he had
thus barely been able to prevent. Eastwood
was bound with the rope which he had proyi-
ded for another, and carried to the camp of
General Sumpter, who lay about fifteen miles
from the dwelling of the Harpers. Here he
was placed before a court-martial, charged
with murder in cold blood, and also with de-
sertfng the continental flag, under which he
had at one time taken commission. The ac-
cusations were proved, and he was executed
forthwith-the country being well rid of bru-
tai and faithless ruffian. Mary and CASTOR
were married near the close of the war, and
settled on an estate which he recently purcha-
ocd near The Harper pIantation.-Battow-s PC

BLACK REPUBLICANs.-Some OF the lower
grades of Democratic papers style Fremont
and Dayton the .sBlacl'' Republican candi-
dates. We viii submit simple statement Of
facts, and leave the public to decide whether
the epithet ssblacll'' would not be more ap-
pEasgiately applied to the Democratic party ;
fremont and Dayton are pledged TO favor
the adnissionof Kansas under the Constitu-
tion already formed-which Constitution pro-
hibits the admission of negroes into the State
either free or slave. Consequently under that
Constitution, the State would be forever con-
secrated to an unmixed white population
While, on the other hand, the Cincinnati Plat
form allows slave owners to carry their ne
groes there in droves, and if that Platform is
sustained by the people, and the expulsion of
the Free-State settlers approved OF, the black
race viii soon become permanent institution
there. The success of the Republican ticket
would tend TO make it White State-whfle
the success of the Democratic ticket VIII, in
all probability, make it biacls or stare State.
Now, to which party does the epithet "biGcb'
more appropriately belong ?-Er.

House of Representatives that he was author
lied to say, if Mr.. Buchanan was elected Pres
ident he soouid veto any bill which Congress
might pass contemplating The restoration of The
Missouri Compromise, or the principle which 1t

vailing that secret pledges have been given by

if possible, even larger concessions than those
contained in the Cincinnati platform.

Parliament would probably be prorogued on

that the propositions submitted by Mr.. Dallas

question are likely to prove satisfactory to the
British government. They propose the estab-
lshment Of San Juan as free port under the
sovereignty of Nicaragua, rcserving to Costa
Rica the right of traffic through it, and such
portions Of the river San Juan as are necessa-

pudiated the Democracy of Jefferson and Jack
son, by endorsing the sectional measures OF the
Pierce Administration, and adopted plat
form destructive in its character to the whole

Eric Constitution, calm and unexcitable print,
says, that it is frequently interrogated in re-
gard to its views Of the prospects of Fremont
in Pennsylvania, and adds, We believe firmly
that he can carry the State, but do not assume
to give figures for any but that portion in which
we are intimately acquainted with the state Of
popular feeling. In Erie county we snail Ger
tainly have 1000 majority; Crawford not less
than 1900, and possibly 1900; Warren over
500; in Venango 500; Mercer probably 700
Lawrence 1900; Butler 700; Beaver 500; Al
legheny 1900; Westmoreland is confidently
claimed for Fremont-we name no majority
Washington 500; Fayette 500; Armstrong
SOC Indiana 1000; Jefferson 800; Clarion and
Greene will probably give nlajorities for Bu-
chanan. The counties named gave Pollock
IG 800 majority, and according to our esti-
mate, which is certainly moderate, they will
give Fremont not less than II 500. All the
indications are that our majorities viii greatly
exceed, in many counties, the figures We have
claimed. If the campaign is conducted with
the energy and enthusiasm which the signs in
dicate, there is little doubt that the counties
embraced in our list will roll up clean ma
iority of %, GOO. II must DO borne in mini
that the counties where the Republican gains
are largest, have always been heavily Demo-
cratic. In the same territory, Pierce had near

A farmer belonging somewhere in Iowa,
bought keg Of whiskey and carried it home.
Well knowing that his better half occasionally
took ssdrop or so" if it came in her way land
now and then would have drop at all events,
he then endeavored to conceal the ileg from
her by suspending it in the barn, somewhere
near the ridge pole.
The eagle eyed, or rather e"hawkeyed'' wife
got sight Of it, however, and resolved upon
obtaining taste. 1t was impossible for her
to reach it. At length she hit upon the fol-
lowing eXpedient, which worked to charm
Taking down her husband's rife, she put IN
a charge with good ball, and taking delber-
ate aim at the keg, tapped it with ball, and
brought down the whisiey at the first shot
Having tub previously prepared, she was
thus enabled to catch all, without losing
drop, and left her poor husband to weep over
and ,yo1Icr at the loss OF his whistey.
