Brighter Days. BY PARvus.


sfis folly, Oh, tits madness,
To grieve thy life away
To yield thy heart to sadness
A ready, willing prey;
Since life at best is feeting,
And pleasure fingers not, ..
In joys gladstone greeting
Let sorrew be forgot;
Though clouds may now be hiding
The suns refulgent rays,
With faith in God abiding,
Wen hope for brighter days.
Have friends thy hearth forsaken,
Whose friendship thou dids't prize
Let not thy peace be shaken
Nor anger botly rise;
For friendship, like earth's treasure,
Is vain and fieeting, too, II,
Adversely doth measure,
And prove il false or true
Then let not grief opprcss thee,
For earth's unfriendly ways,
But, asking God to bless thee,
Hope on for brighter days.
Is't thy determination
To gain an honored name,
A high exalted station,
Or bright and lasting fame
And is the prospect cheerless
Which opens now to views
Be undismayed and fearless,
BE patient, firm, and true,
For that which now is hiding,
The suns refulgent rays,
If thou hast faith abiding,
Will fade in brighter days.
What though the world should scorn thee,
When fortune hides her face, ..
If virtues crown adorn thee,
And all thine actions gracer
If truth thy course is guiding,
And honor is thine aim,
Fear not the worlds deriding,
Nor tremble at IFS blame
But losing courage never,
Thy heart to heaven raise,
And trusting God, endeavor,
To hope for brighter days.

nY3 Certain Buchanan men of this city,
with their pockets lined with gold, (where it
came from we know not, whether obtained by
Forced loans from trembling clerks, or furnish
ed by Belmont, the foreign Jew,) are offering
to wager large sums of money upon the result
of the Presidential election, as If every sensi,
BILE man in the nation does not know that the
votes of the people are not to be given to that
party which, having now the keys to tho
Treasury, can Drag the highest? ..
We doubt whether these gentry will fright
en- away anybody by the array of their gold,
from voting for Fillmore! Gold does not fur
nish any argument, except with those who
take it as pay for services rendered. Ameri-
cans seek the right-they mean to fight for
the right side and take the consequences.
Gold will neither convince them they are
wrong, nor buy up their consciences. Won

man should make Would not his elevation be
lesser sUiL than that Of BuchsnanY Who
then should fear to deyolve the election upon

more, tootla IN all probability be elected, BY
the House of Representatives, or if unfortu-
nately not, then as an alternative, man noe
stepped in all the political iniquities Of forty
odd years of bargain, intrigue and corrup-
ton :"
We are not afraid of the House of Repre-
sentatives--we believe that Mr.. Fillmore would
be certainly elected by that body-but if not,
we should have some consolation under our tenn
porary defeat, in the considerations we have
mentioned.
The advocates of Buchanan, in the South,
have sought to infuse horror into the public
mind, at the bare idea of the election being
thrown into the House. assuming that the
election of Fremont might result from it. We
have heretofore shown that Fremont's election.
by the House is impossible. Every man who
understands the condition of parties in the
House, and who knows that each State has but
one rote in the election of President by the
House, k7loaos that the idea of Fremont's cleo
ton by that body is simply ridiculous. The
advocates Of Buchanan, however, dread the
House of Representatives they knos0 that he
cannot be elected there-they k,oW that the
Fillmore States hold the balance of power, and
that theycould giyethe Republicans their choice,
to permit Breckinridge to become tho Prcsi-
dent, or to elect Fillmore to that position -
The argument, then. which has been used at
the South, in favor of union upon Buchanan,
to keep the election out of the House, is de-
ceptious and ,jesuitical
1t is more, it is dangerous in the extreme,
for if by such arguments the South should be
induced to unite upon Buchanan, the country
would be at once arrayed in q sectional con-
test purely so, and were such contest to be
rendered by the South to the North, and ac-
cepted by them, the result would be the tri
umph of a Northern sectional party. But the
pretended danger, if the election were thrown
into the House, is a transparent bugbear,-a
phantom which would not frighten half-gown
children. We hope that Fillmore may be elect
ed by the Electoral Colleges-but if not, we
shall not despair of the Republic" if the cleo

With all classes IN the South, the election of
Breckenridge as Vice President, and his acces-
sion to the Presidency, would be greatly pre-
feTred to the election of Buchanan as Presi.
dent. 1t being certain that the Democratic
Senate would elect Breckenridge as Vice Presi-
dent; and that if no election were made by the
House, Ihe would become the President, by yir.
tue of his election as Vice President, it follows
that no Southern or conservative man can
reasonably object to haUiag the election thr01n
into Congress-. The failure of an election by
the people, under this state of the case, brings
no increased danger to the South, or to any
portion of the country; for, the House would
either elect Fillmore as President, or, there
being no election by the House, Breckenridge
would become the President
IfFillmore were thus elected, the whole
country would rejoice-poace would be re-
stored, and harmony would reign--the other
alternative, to wit the accession of Breckin-
ridge to the Presidency, though in no respect
satisfactory to the American party, ,,would not,
in our opinion, bring with it, either a restora-
ton ofthe Van Buren dynasty--the ascendency
Of Forneyism in the National Councis-or the
introduction of Romanism into the govern
ment. Our party would, it is true, be beaten
this we should deeply deplore, but we
should still have hope that the government
might endure, and that the year 1860 would
witness an Americaa triumph.

By the steamer Northern Light, which arrived
last night from San Juan del Norte, We have the
details of two weeks later news from California
Oregon and Washington Territories, the Sandwich
Islands and Nicaragua brief summary of which
received by telegraph from New Orleans, appeared
m the HERALD of yesterday morning. The North
ern Light brought nearly 100000 in treasure on
freight. The news from California is unimpor
tant. The intelligence of the most importance is
that from Oregon and Washington. 1t will be seen by
the accounts which we publish that in both Terri
tories some hard fighting with the Indians has taken
place, accompanied with considerable loss Of life.
The details Of the actions are painfully interesting
It will also be seen that Gen. Wool is placed in
very unfortunate position, having power to raise
volunteer troops. Without doubt the necessary
authority viii soon if it has not already been sent
out to the General to do so; and it is probable that
ere this California has been called on to aid the
suffering people OF the Territories. Much more hard
sighting was expected near Walla Walla. There is
nothing particularly important from the Sandwich
Islands. The arrival of the frigate Potomac at San
Juan had given rise to considerable speculation as
to the designsof the United States government in
that quarter. Throughout Nicaragua everything
was quiet. There were reports that Ramon Rivas
had organized band for the purpose of attacking
the Transit Companys steamer Oh the lake and
taking possession OF it. Prompt measures had been
taken to Illustrate the scheme. To this circum-
stance, perhaps may be attributed the reports re-
Gently published Of revolt against the constituted
authorities. The reported landing of Capt. Zermon
and a party of flibusters at Cape San Lucas is
corroborated.
The list of the names OF the hard shell delegates
to the Cincinnati Convention which we published

caused by the resignation of Of the gentlemen
who we're originally appointed, and their places
having been filed without extended public notice
