NO CROSS. NO GROWN.

The following Poem by SHELDON CHADWICK,
AIKEN from his volume Of poems just published
England
Twas eve, and IN a lowry room
3 student sat in sombre gloom
TEirlins his fingers in his hair,
Like one in revery-or despair.
Before him lay an open book,
Sadness was in bis lAnguid look;
And as be traced the pages DER
-Four golden words his spirit bore
No Cross, No Crown!
Around. IN deaibHke silence stood
The forms Of many great and good
Prophets, Martyrs crucifed;
Stern patriots, who for freedom died;
And poets, who died desolate
Scanning the woudrous scroll Of Fate
While glory round their forehsads shone,
he rad upon their lips Of stone
No Cross, no Crown
hard was the toll, through learning's lore,
For one 50 young and worldly poor,
lis books we're precious, though but few
And deathless FIRE from heaven he drew
Esar.-wearied of and over wrought,
He traced in throbbng lines hi. thought;
And mid tbs toll this seemed 10 be
The voice alone Of destiny
No Gross, no Grown!
Sometimes his noble spirit turned
towards flames pillar as it burned,
and on he judged bis efforts vain
10 cross the burning bars Of pain,
lie Froared in sgonizsd distress;
L.fe's cup Wa dashed with bitterness;
And then he thought Of those Of old,
Who carved ia brass those words Of Eolii
No Cross, no Crown!
Thev Tough. the battle, bore the cross,
That truth might never suffer loss,
But, like the tempest Graded flower,
Spring thro' the storm-ihe martyrs dover;
Souls thar, while beaconing the free,
sunk Ike lighthouse in the sea;
Bat from their graves spirit came,
Utiering words Of winged flame
No Cross, no Crownl
His soul sometimes would droop her wing,
When envious arrows sped the string,
But, like the tempesfs martial strains,
His eountry's voice thrilled through his veins.
And, needless Of the critics ire,
Ills heart glowed with immortal FIRE;
And, like man in earnest, he
On thoughts Patmos toiled YEARLY
No Cross, 10 Crown!
And thus he wrote his spirits strings
To Inusic's rare imaginings;
To Love aud Freedom, truth ana Right,
Justice and Mercy, gods Of light!
On! cheerful fell those golden words
Upon his worn hearts tender chords;
Ia deatA those words his spirit bore
And chants them still for evyrmore-
No Cross, 40 Crown
This be the motto ofthe brave,
And this the watchword Of the slave;
The Patriots with the peoples scorn,
The martyrs with his garlands thorn.
Whoever seeks 10 win a name.
Whoever tolls for Freedoms fame,
Whoever human tears would dry,
Let this forever be his cry
Nc Cross, no Crown,

There is sleep for a.! things:
In the night.
There Is folding Of a million wingsi
A rain Of odor, through the shadowy light,
Fails on the dasies, and a snowy thought
Is moving in their ringl
The lush Wild rose is dreaming, when blush
Rises from scented darkness to is cheek,
To1ching the crimson to deeper hue!
Is parted lips would seem as i could speak.
And tel shat dreams Of iantasis and love
Beaded is eyelids With a silver dew!
Would not these red-Inouthed Peris tell a tale
Could they but break, some mild midsummer
night,
Their clasps Of silence, and, delirioas, leap
Into mel0dious utterance2 Who knows
What sombre ghosts, what visions Of delight
HI, through their brains il the dim world Of sleep
The world Of Sleep,
The beautiful old world!
The dreamy Palestine Of pilgrim thought!
The Lotus Garden, where the soul may lie
Lost in elysiun, while the music moan
OF some unesrthly river, family caught,
Seems like the whisperings Of angels blown
Upon Holiau harp-stringsl And we change
Into a seeming something that is not!
Princess Of dreams and olden memories.
Thou Purple-tiHted and fantastic Slsspl
One that is weary with his tiresome DAYS
Brings thee a soul that he would have thee keen

Immortal shapes, and bring 10 him again

and the resolutions of the Conventions Of
1854 and 1855, preclude all thought Of any
desertion Of It on their part now. Tho gem
eral odium which attaches 70 the adminis-
tntion Of Franklin Pierce, against which
they have 90 stoutly battled, must follow
the nominee of tho Cincinnati Convention,
who stands on the same platform and Is up
held by Pierce and Douglas. We counsel
all Wings, therefore, to choose delegates to
the Bangor Convention who are free from
any suspicion of desire to- support the
policy Of the administration Of franklin
Pierce, or who favor the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise.
Last year, State and local issues divided

gagged their attention.

Hon. Hannibal Hamlin.

Hon. Hannibal Ilamlin, one of our Sena-
tors in Congress, it will be seen by tho APP
pended synopsis of some remarks of his in
the Senate of the United States, declining
to serve longer as the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Commerce, has given his views on
the Platform of the Cincinnati Convention,
and indicated what his position is to be in the
coming canvass. Mr.. H., it is understood,
has always regarded the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise as most unjust to the free
States, and true to the convictions which he
honestly entertains, he has openly and man
fully declared that he cannot act with q
party which has adopted the principles which
contributed to that act, and which now up.
proves Of all the disasterous consequences
that have flowed from it. Mr.. Hamlin's SYM
pathies were always on the side of freedom,
and we are glad, the State will be glad, and
wherever truth is priced, and manliness re-
yered, his declaration, that he should oppose
the party that had approved of the repeal
and set forth the pernicious principles of
Slavery, with all the power God had endOw-
ed him, will be hailed with pleasure.
WASHINGTON, June l2.
SENArE.-Mr. Hamlin arose and asked to
be excused from serving Us Chairman Of tho
Committee on Commerce. lie said for the
nine years he had held q seat in the Senate,
he had almost been silent member upon
the subject that had so much agitated the
country. He had rarely uttered word
Ilo loved his country more than he loved
any party-more than anything that could
apitate and disturb its harmony. Although
he believed the repeal Of the Missouri Com.
promise was great moral and political
wrong, unequalled in the annals Of the leg
islation of thi, country; still with desire
TO promote harmony, concord and brotherly
feeling, he sat quiet amid oil the exciting
debate which led to that fatal result, and
onposed it not by his voice, but by consist
ent. steady and uniform vote, not only in
accordance with his own convictions, but in
accordance with the instructions of his leg
islature. passed by almost IN unanimous
vote. But the thing was done in violation
of the principles of that party with whom
no had always acted, and in violation of the
solemn pledges of the President Of the U.
s In his Inaugural address. Since, howev-
or. that wrong had been sanctioned by the
Cincinnati Convention in its contamination
and It's results, he felt 1t his duty to declare
that he could no longer maintain party as
soeiations with any party that insisted upon
such doctrines, and could support no man
far President who avowed and recognized
These doctrines; and with whatever power
God had endowed him with, II should DO
used in the coming contest in opposition to
that party:
