BUYS BURIAL
On sunny Saturday evening
TAey laid him In his grave,
When the sycamore had not q shaken ie<i,
And the harbor not wave.
The sandhi Is lay in the yellow ray
Ripe with the sadness Of parting Mayi
Sad where the mountains blue aRd lone
That kept the landscape as their own;
The rocky slope OF the dista1t fell;
The river issuing from the deel -
And when hath ended the volne Of pray'r
The falI's deep bass was left on the air.
Rolling down.
Young he was and hopeful
And al, to die so soon,
His new grave lies deserted
At the rising OF the moon;
But when the moon comes ro1nd, and the church
bells sound,
The little children may sit on the mound,
ana tax OF him, and as they talk,
run nom the daadelion stalk
Us featnery globe, that reckons best
Their light wing'd hours while the town Is at
rest,
And the stone chucker rattIes here and thers,
And th' glittering IA u makes tune In the air,
Rolling down.

TO CotItEspoNDENTs.
Mr.. Dickinson, of New York.

A cotemporary we believe the Lynchburg Nir-
ginisn, referred days since TO the fact that at
the last Baltimore Convention. in 1852, MIR. Dckm-
sou, of New York, received the unanimous support
of the Virginia delegation and would have obtained
the nomination but for his noble disintcreStedncSs
which scarcely has its equal in Grecsn or Roman
story. But since that Convention adjourned, and
particularly within the last twelve months, we have
rarely, ir at ALL encountered his name in Democrat
ic paper in connexion with the Presidency. In all
the combinations that spoken Of in all the multi
farouS tickets which ardent Democratic fancIeS have
suggested, find no allusion TO him. The policy Of
ignoring his prctenSonS-hs very existence, appears
To have been deliberately Systematically and unvcr
sally adopted by the party. What is the meaning
of this conduct towards the distinguished Ex-senator
of New York. OF what crime has he been guilty
What pledge has he violated What point of honor
has he disregarded-what principle of party has he
violated: We know of none-wc have heard of
none. He occupies the same manly position which
he did three years ago He still uphods, with the
same indomable spirit the principles of the Con>ti-
tuition aud all its guarantees In the midst of wide
spread detection, he has stood firm, mistaken and
faithful to all his pledges and tn all his duties pa
triot aud an honest man. But thing he has done
and therein committed the objectionable Sin-ho
has dared To aTralgn the D'Pe"Sef 81 C1fe as laith-
less To his truSt-as false to that deliberately
employing it TO foster and pamper the enemies OF the
Constitution aud the public peace lie charged the
President with using the patronage of his office 10
nurse and encourage the Free Sellers and Abolition
lists of the North and thereby rendering them potent
for mischief His offence has this cxtent-no more.
1t is not our purpose To enter upon the defence Of
Mr.. Dickinson We refer to the usage he has
ceived As furnishing another garing illustration Of
the banefu ascendancy Of iactiouS party spirit
Less than four years since lac the chief of ten
thousand; all were eager TO bcstow upon him the
highest office in the land, and which lie only failed
to receive through his own magnanimous disnc-
restedneSSbut no7 forno other crime than the loss
of the favor of the Dispenser OF the Spells, he i
pudated from end of the country the other ~
every genuine Democratic politician Is it posi-
BILE for party a1ectness TO go further.

Mr.. FULLER Of PENNSYLVANIA remarked that he

OF the gentleman from Tennessee Early in the session
he had ie IL his duty in justice TO himself and 10 those
with whom he had been acii declare the opinions he
entertained and the he should pursue upon certain
questions OF public policy But hc desired To say now
what he believed was known To majority, not all ut
those who hal honorcd him with their confidence. that he
had ready any and all times withdraw from this
protractcd contest lie had felt unwilling to stand, to
appear stand in the way of any fair organization OF
the body.
In the specific inerrogatorics that had been
presented, he would To the first, that he did not
regard the kausaNcbraska bill promotivc of the tor
nation of free States and he would further that he
did not believe it promotve OF the formation of slave
States.
In reply to the second inquiry he would state
that he had aud did advocate the
