Correspondence n. l..
WASHINGTON Wednesday, Jan. 90 1856.
The Democratic caucus, this afternoon, was ex-
cited and tempestuous. Mr.. Richardson declined,
and Mr.. Orr was nominated for Speaker by a
large majority. Mr.. Cobb Of Georgia wanted to
run Mr.. Richardson anyhow, but was overrulcd.
He insisted on the reafirmance Of the platform,
which was conceded. The plurality rule was pro-
posed and voted down by only thirty.one to
twenty-nine.
The Southern Americans have had q meeting and
resolved to stick to Mr.. Fuller. They would 60
Extra Billy" Smith, but not Mr.. Orr, on the
Richardson platform. Some of them may vote
for Orr, if the plurality rule is adopted; others
will not We challenge them to propose and
adopt the rule. H.G.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The Anti-Nebreska caucus, this evening, was
more harmonious and determined than ever be-
FORE A Member introduced resolution looking
to q change Of candidate, but after discussion
withdrew it, declaring himself convinced and
heartily with the majority. Three who have been
esteemed shaky made speeches declaring them
selves henceforth cordially for Banks. The eau
Gus finally adjourned without day, it being settled
that the Anti-Nebrasks Members will vote solid
for Banks till March 4, 1857, unless Speaker
shall in the meantime be chosen. If the various
hostile parties combine to pass resolution ruling
our candidate out of the field, the true men will
still vote steadily for Banks H.G.

How often do We hear men, eager in the pur-
suit OF partners for life inquire for a beautiful
woman and yet how brief the existence o..
what they seek, and how unproductye Of hap

beneath the snow white lids of beautiful eve !:

the Intellect is uncn!tured, and the Imagination

upon the dream OF beauty, and the tiImr of af-

With men of genius, strong-feengs and power

| Years ago. c. was a quiet orthodox
sort of town. Old DR.. NJ was pastor
over the only church existing in the place. He
was very worthy man, and by his church was
considered second Daniel. He CHANGED to
own the feetest horse of the season, and the
fame of the beast for speed was somewhat WIDE
ly extended One autumn day one OF those
strolling peddlers, who come from nobody Knows
where and depart as strangely, came over the
border. He was a Dragging genius, reverential
to nothing earthly. About the hotel he said
his horse was a marvel for speed, that he could
out-run or out-trot anything travelling in those
parts. This Boosting was a source OF great
trouble to the manor-born citizens. 10 be
cowed down by the braggart was beyond en-
durance yet his horse possessed strong WIND
and limb They had no faith in being able to
find its equal in the circle of their acquaintance,
save only the parsons roam mare. The hope OF
putting her on the course was forlorn one but
to make an effort was settled upon. Accord
ingly some of the most respectable Of the tavern
loungers called upon the good man. and, with
some art of logic, stated their case.
1.-The peddler was,' they said, boastfnl
heather, who spoke derogutorily of the town,
its people, and particularly of its horses. II
they could borrow his roam mare, they had no
doubt of their ability to at least convince the
varlet of bis under estimates of their stables,
aud thus they might shake his belief in the other
points of his doctrine"
The d. D. appreciated their position. He
said he considered horse racing q very bad prac-
tiee, morally wrong in ITSELF and productive Of
evil in its results He could not consent to lend
the mare to them for race aud would only
remark further that she was in the pasture,
and if he noticed her at any time to be missing,
he should make no immediate search for her.
The following day the mare was missing"
and race made up with the peddlers beast.
The course was the main street, which led right
by the parsonage The good man was some
how informed of the hour for starting, and his
interest in the result led him to take up posi-
ton behind window-blind, where good view
of the street could he had The time came,
and he grew nervous and excited, and strained
his eyes to catch the earliest glimpse of the con-
tending steeds At length they came in sight,
but so far away that no keenness of vision could
determine which was in advance Greatness
ly he awaited their coming. AS they drew
nearer it became evident that the mare was
ahead and gaining bravely.' As they passed
the house, and the amused divine saw his
horse leading the other at good square trot,
he left his covert, crazy with glee, and, despite
the assembly, called out, in spirit more con-
sistent with the turf than the pulpit "Tsco 10

The AeEs DARKEST Blot If this age in its
political, social and literary aspects, is peculiar
for any one thing more than another, it is for
its shame Of hypocrisies- its shifts, peryer-
sions, and unrealities. Its consciousness is
eaten quite out of it. 1t takes more infinite
pains to do the false than the true Varnish is
better than gold--notorie:y than character
the seeming than the reality. Popular opinion
is carried by flourish of trumpets, and the
humber aud sterner virtues are elbowed out of
Church and State Office falls upon begging
importantly or audacious presun ption-while
merit is neglected because it is modest and
scorns to publish its own praise. The public
officer pays for the service Of plate presented by
his retaiaers, and the judge draws up the reso-
lutious which prove him incorruptible. We
shall ouly rise above all this mcanness and dis
honesty by cultivating manly conscientious
ness-by feeling that we have duties to dis
charge as well as privileges to enjoy-that our
standard and character depend upon our sacri-
fees and our tois-upon apprehending. keeping,
and doing the truth. The cringing and truck
lings Of one class, and the audacity Of another
results from the absence of that many indepen
dence of character and selfrespect, which an
honest acting out of the truth eugenders. We
break the heart of the living from neglect, and
lie our eulogistic mementos over the dead
Away with all such mocking and hollow heart
ed acting and thinking! Be an honest, whole
hearted man. Scorn to act . lie AZ to speai
it. Let sincerity mark every volition and prin
ciple and stimulate every act. Let your mora
aud political creed be read in the vital hero
glvphice of your Liz.

No Work to Do.

Ho ye who at the anvil toll
And strike the sounding blow,
Where from the burning iron breast
The sparks fly to and fro,
While answering to the hammer ring,
And fires intenser glow
0! while We feel It's hard to toll
And sweat the long day through,
Remember it is harder still
To have no work to do.
Ho We who till the stubborn soil
Whose hard hands guide the plough,
Who bend beneath the lummer's sun,
With burning check and brow
Ye deem the curse still clings to earth
From olden time till now
But while We feel It's hard to toll
And labor all day through,
Remember it is harder still
To have no work to do.
10 ye who plough the seas blue fields
Who ride the restless wave.
Beneath whose gallant vessels keel
There lies yawning grave,
Around whose bark the wintIy winds
Like fiends of fury rave
U! while We feel it's hard to toll
And labor long hours through,
Remember it is harder still
10 have no work to do.
Hoi ye upon whose fevered checks
The hectic glow is bright,
Whose mental toll wears out the day
And half the weary night,
Who labor for the souls Of men,
Champions of truth and right
Although We feel your toll is hard,
Even with this glorious view,
Remember it is harder still
To have no work to do.
Ho! oil who labor-all who strive
ie WELD lofty power:
Do with your might, do with your strength
Fill every golden hour;
The glorious privilege to do
Is mans most noble DOVER
o! to your birthriaht and yourselves,
To Jour own souls be true
A weary wretched life is theirs
Who have no work to do.
