Oftorch the gathered pile of brushwood fred,
The hounds, mute, weary, tethered fast, and high
Inc Deer by we-aimed rifle shot, and dressed
With skill and care, uphung oak trees limb;
And then the days long fasting broke, and smoked
In calm repose, the glowing pipes Then passed
The hours with voices strange, and wizard shows
The merry, banded jokes, and sang, and told
Their tales the grave and unused and dreame
The countless stars with cleares, iustre burned.
The moon, with tremuous and mellow disc,
From deeps of space beyond the hills, uprose,
And poured her silver light on trees and food.
The campfire roared and blazed in faring sheets,
And heavenward shot in minarets and spires.
The wood transformed into temple vast,
Its floor and aises, and pillars tall, and vaults
Ofleaves all turned TO gold, with glory shore
bridge of golden spendor spanned the lake,
Which, silently, from shore 10 shore the shapes
offancy crossed, the bridge of faith,
From earth 10 heaven, the shadows OF the dead.
Al last the senses closed and bolied fast
Their gates, outshu,,ing from the soul all forms
Intangible or real, all voices known
Or strange, of midnight, lit by moon and stars,
And grave and merry sank fragrant couch,
To rest Till morn in undisturbed sleep.
When returned, reminding on the hills,
Upheaved against the Eastern sky, its bright,
Yet unconsuming fires, woke, refreshed,
To view the glory OF the blazing heights
The rosy, mantng flashes OF the heavens,
The tree-tops. touched with crimson light.
And golden brilliancy. the briehtning forms
or mist, retiring from the day, like ghosts
In flowing notes, from opening eyes of men,
To listen to the lonely looms wild CALL
The noisy splash and flight of wood-ducks scared
And 10 renew, with healthy, bounding heart,
The hunters grand, nvigorang sport.
O lake of light and beauty. 10 my soul
mirror clear wherein, forevermore.
My eyes shall view the brightest memories,
However my steps may wander from thy shores,
Whate'er may prove my aims of active life,
One hope, one wish, henceforward, shall be mine:
That, in lifes eve with her OF weaker form
And paer face, but with in heart
In love of nature, love of good and two
Sweet girls who now but pluck the flowers of youth,
may Withdrawn from human works, from mans
Proud shows, and loud, tumultuous din, with warm,
Glad heart, and countenance serene and bright,
Oerlook, from vine-clad cot Mount Balds slope
Thy face, with laughter stirred and grave, rough
With passion and with pureness calm by turns,
And live again with thee past times of JOY.

Read This,

The editor of the Neac York Day look saws
that the South does not want to carry its ne
groes to Kansas Hear him
THE South, then, does not want to migrate
to kansas-does not want TO carry its negroes
to Kansas. to Nebraska, nor to any portion OF
the great West, lying north ofthe 36th parallel .
Now read what the great organ of the negro
breeders says on the same subject:
"Again we call on the South to assert her
equal right to the fair fields of Kansas. We
claim no exclusive right we only ask equal
participation. We would not exclude men with
out slaves. but insist that men with slaves shall
be allowed to enter it and settle it, as freely az
men with mules and cattle, Northern merchan-
die, or Northern manufactures. Our cause Is
Just, and honor and interest and security alike
call ON us to spare no labor. peril, no expense

Each of these papers is devoted to the inter
ests of Mr. Buchanan, and each addresses a diff
ferent class of arguments to a different class of
readers. The Southern sheet is in earnest but

THCLEGISLATURE

Both branches of the Legislature met at Mad
ison on the Sd, pursuant to adjournment The
most important business of the session, we have
doubt, will be the disposition of the Land
Grant. which we trust viii be made judiciously
for the people of the State regardless of the eff
forts of the horde of land grabbcrs who are at
tempting to manage the matter their own way
The report of the investigating committee is
expected to be made soon. but we are unadvised
to it's character. There Is little doubt, how
ever. that a stupendous system of stealing will
Re revealed
The subject of appo:tioning the State viii
also be brought forward, but are inclined 20
believe that nothing will be done at this late
day to change the present districts until after
the approaching elections
There appears to be disposition TO crowd a
large amount Of local business upon the Legis-
lature, but it is to tie hoped that but little OF
that class of legislation viii be done. We hope
II may be short session, and oaly such busin-
ess attended to as the interests of the people
generally require.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The Message of Gov, Bashford, which will be

TO the attention of our readers. Its breyity Is a
quality which printers, at least, Will admire
The Governors recommendations in relation TO
the Land Grants, are worthy the consideration
Of the Legislature, and we trust may be carried
cut by that body. The outrages committed BY
the MIssnurians upon citizens of Wisconsin
while on their way TO Kansas is very properly
brought before the Legislature in the Message,
and should be duly considered by that body
The Message Is document that reflects honor

PUB. Doc's.-Is it part of the regular duty
of our Representative in Congress to frank to
his District mere partisan speeches by the hun
bred for circulation among those who may be
won over by reading those productions of the
Washingron Republican Association? Was such
the object and expected benefits ofthe franking
privilege?-D Democrat.
Quite as much his duty neighbor, to frank
hundreds of political speeches ard documents
to his constituents, as for the Hon. Vice Presi-
dent pro tenn of the United States to frank thou
sands OF Border Ruffian speeches and documents
to this place, or for Hon. Eco. Vail of New Jer-
sew TO frank hundreds of slanderous falsehoods
in the German language for the purpose of de-
ceivins that portion of our citizens into TIE sup
port of the pro-slavery party.
Did the Democrat ever hear of one of his par
ty ranking political speeches, papers'and docu-
ments TO his constituents? If SO, was it a part
of his duty?
The Washington Union says the Democratic
Association at Washington distributing over
forty thousand day of their pro-slavery Pub
Docs" Wonder if they understand the :" OBJ
