In pursuance to a call regularly made, the "Democratic National Committee,' consisting of one from each State, appointed by the de- mocratic national convention of 1852, to pro mote the democratic cause" and "deslgnate the time of holding the next convention" met at the National Hotel, in the city of Washing ton, at F M on the 8th day of January, 1856, and, with entire unanimity-

A Just Rebuke.

On the reception of Governor Glasses mes sage, relating to Kansas, by the Ohio House of Representatives
 MT. Sawyer (democrat) rose to express his astonishment and regret that the Governor of Ohio should, to the neglect of other great and all important questions concerning the domestic interests of our own State, thrust into our faces such inhammatory abolition doctrines and re- commendations as are contained in his message. He claimed that the Governor was, by this very act, interfering with the rights of the people of Kansas, who ought to be able, and were able, to manage their own business, and encouraging the very state of things he pretended to de- plore. He had heard the Governor, in pub- lie speech, on another occasion, recommend the use of Sharpe's rifles to prevent slavery in Kan sas and offer to give fifty dollars to aid aboli- tionists to go to Kansas, and shoot down the slaveholding citizens; and, now, as the Cover nor of Ohio, he is inficting the very difficulties which we all so much deprecate!
 "Why, sir, where was his voice when our own citizens were shot down in the streets of our own cities by mob, and in a neighboring State! Not word was heard from him then. lie belonged to a party which respected the white citizens more than the negro; but the Governor would embroil the country in civil war in order to befriend the negro! He regret ted the introduction of this subject into this body, to distract our attention from our own important business"
 Ihls was sharp but most just rebuke--just such rebuke as ought to be administered by an emphatic conservative public sentiment to all improper interference in the affairs of the inhabitants of Kansas

 Yes, stretch thy tiny arms to me, My only daughters boy! Thy loving guardian l will be, Be thou my lasting joy! Yes! raise to me thy tiny hand, With eyes so full of glee; A stranger, I, in foreign land, No stranger though to theel Most of thy kindred live afar, Beyond the ocean wave; Where brilliant the morning star His silver rays doth lave. 'Tis there where many a loving heart For me and thee doth ache;- Where l play'd merry childhood's part They love thee for my sake! Come, noble boy, come to my breast! Thou,art of proud descent! Thy sires dashed the tyrant's crest, Their knees they never bent. Thou art a son of William Tell! Transplanted in the West; That name is still the tyrant's knell, Though centuries have passed. Come to my heart, my laughing boy! know thou wilt be brave, Thine eye tells me with ardent joy IW ne0er Dc c stGue!" 0mnipotent!-Thou art the guide! Oh keep him in thy path Grant him to be his country pride, Before he sleeps in death.

Extract from an UnWritten Poem.

And then what frenzies racked his brain As hope his vision fled, The midnightstars heard him complain, And saw the tears he shed. And as he lay upon the ground,
 Communing with his woe All silently the snow came down
 And kivered up poor Jo; And when the early risers came
 To give the cows their hay, They heard fair Arminta's name
 Come up from where he lay.
