HousE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
April 20, 1856. y
DEAR SIR--To look at things here one way
the cause of Repnblicanism seems gloomy
the other way cheering. IF The old-liners har-
monize at Cincinnati, (which now seems impos-
| sibIe,) bring out good ticket, and our friends
make fsilure at Philadelphia, all is lost for the
present. II, on the contrary, the old-lners nom
mate Pierce or Douglas, and we bring out new
but true man, (Col. Fremont is that man, we

Men Of every shade of antislayery sentiment
can unite on Fremont without the charge of be
| ing inconsistent. He has not participated in
any of the troubles existing between the Know,
Nothings per SO and the Republicans per 80. AL

see the points make, and appreciate the bear
lings.
The strong currents here all favor Fremon,
i decidedly In our next election for State OFF
GERS and members Of Congress, on the heels Q
the Presidential election, our success depend
exclusively on the strength of our Presidentia
candidate, and not on the State or Congressiona
ticket. So all must see the full force o. havin
the right man.
It will never do to 60 into the contest and b
called upon to defend the acts and speeches o
old stagers. We must have position that vii
enable us to be the charging party. Fremon
is the man for this operation. Col. Lane, of Kan

will visit Lafayette and make speech, ifinvited
His whole heart is in the Kansas Free Stat,
movement.

his utmost efforts to insure its success; following

THE mist of the morn is still gray on the noun
tain,
The heather bell blooms on the brink Of the foun-
tain;
Soft murmurs the stream from the messy rock
gushing,
But wildly and loud through the dark ravine
rushing.
The heath-cock is springing eate from his nest
The pale moon Is sinking in calmness to rest;
The first streak of light is seen the ocean;
The chorister's songs put the dull air in motion.
The horn of the huntsman sounds DER the hill
The voice of the fleet hound is frequent and shrill
While painting the chased stag appears at the lake
He swims the dark stream and then bounds thro'
the brake.
How sweet is the woodbne o'er yon lattice creep
Which blushingly steals where the maiden is
sleeping,
How softly the breeze sounds that kisses the bill
low:
But softer by far is the sigh on yon pillow!
The dash of the light oar is heard on the lake;
The soft voice of love sings, 81 Awake, oh awake,
The first streak of morning is gray on the hill;
The voice of the barn-cock is frequent ard shrill
:. Then come, dearest come, where thy soul may
be free,
As the pure breeze that watts o'er the margnless
Well sport on life's stream as we gently pass
DER it,
And feel not the breeze as we're gliding before it,
The light form of one at the lattce is seen,
And ruby lips glow through the foliage green,
Like bud of the vine the fresh breezes perfuming
Ere the breath of the morning has kissed it to
blooming.
Oh come dearest, come, to the cot of thy lover,
Where souls may be free as the wings of the
plover,
And hearts be as pure as the vestal maids shrine,
And the day-star of true love shall never Decline -
The maiden now stands on the brink of the stream,
And looks upon life as fairy-like dream;
For She HES to the spot where her soul may be
blest,
With passion as mild as dove in its nest
On the stern of the skiff she is seated in haste;
Her lover beside her, with arm round her waist !;
He presses her lips as they float from the shore,
And they mingle their songs with the dash of the
oar.
With spirits as wild as the fawn at the fountain, /,
They glide Ger the lake and then stroll up the
mountain,
Where the day-star of true love in beauty is
shining,
And burns still more brightly as life is declining.

SPEECH
Of Hen. stephen a. Douglass ut the
Great Ratification Meeting
at PhiEa sieipisia

FELLow-DEMoCRATs Il have before me q
sure guarantee Of that triumph which certain
ly awaits us at the polls In this election. =
W hen on any former occasion, was there ever
such a dense mass of Democratic voters as
sembled to ratify the nominations for the Pre-
sidency and Vice Presidency? This vast as
semblage, which may be measured by the
acre, rather than counted by thousands 1t
shows the deep and heartfelt interest which
the people of this country feel in the niomen-
tuous contest in which we have just emerged
Never since that memorable contest of 500
which resulted IN the election of the immortal
Jefferson, has there been time when issues,
SO pregnant with good or evil to our institu-
tions, have been presented as in the one which
is now before us. Great questions of foreign
policy, great questions of domestic policy :;
questions fraught with the most intense I'M
port are now before us.
In our foreign policy there is question
which involves in its settlement the peace, the
perpetuty of this glorious Republic 1t is
simply o question whether the principle of
seif-government uponwhich all our institu-
tions rest shall be maintained in the States
and Territories of this Union, subject on
ly to the limitations of the Constitution of
the United States. Cheers and long ap-
plause-Hurrahs for Squatter Sovereignty. I
The Cincinnati Convention has performed
its duty honorabiy, wisely, aud patriotically,
upon all points presented to them. 1t has
presented to the country a platform which
commands the hearty appreciation of every
sound national man in the country and it has
presented candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, worthy of the platform on
which they stand. Those nominations have
been made, and that platform has been adopt-
ed by unanimous yote-receiving the vote
OF every delegate from every State of this
great and glorious Republic.
Shall it be hereafter said that the Demo-
cratic party is not National party? What
other party ever existed in this country which
could proclaim its creed by an unanimous
vote. y creed to be construed alike in Penn
sylvania and Virginia, in New York anS Geor-
gia, in Illinois and Louisiana, in the North
and the South. IL the East and the Vest
Wherever the Constitution reigns, there the
Democratic creed is one and the same. It is
creed that can command the faith and sup
port of every Democrat-aye, and of every
old line Wing who is true to the principles of
Clay and Webster.
1t is to be remarked, and never to be for
gotten, that in 1850 the leaders-the cham
pions of the '' true grit political party
your Clays and your Websters, your Casses
and your Other patriots of the Democratic
party-united in agreeing upon common
creed in respect to this vexed question of sla-
very, which should be common alike to Wbigs
and to Democrats.
