THE MORNING FRESH.
ANONYMOUS.

The morning fresh, the sun in east
New giIIs the smiling day;
The lark forsakes his dewy nest,
The fields around are gaily drest,
Arise, my love, and play.
Come forth, my fair, come lovely maid,
And bless thy shepherds sight;
Lend every folded flower thine aid,
Unveil the roses blushing shade,
And give them sweet delight.
Thv presence bids all nature smile,
Thy smiles its charms improve,
Thy notes the listening birds hegrile
They strive TO catch the air and style;
And tune their lhIosis 10 love.
TO weave garland for thy hair,
Each fragrant flower III twine,
A chaplel for thy brow. ny fair,
And let the task to bind it there,
The happy task, be NINE.

Tie population of Utah is estimated at

adherenls Of Mormonism in adjoining
States and Territories, according TO Judge
Hammond. The entire community OF
Utah is Mormons, thoroughly so--aciua-
ted entirely by the will Of Brigham. They
are mostly EngIishmen or Europeans, and
very few of them uaturalized and never
probably will be. as they have no afec-
lions for The institutions of this country.
The tiIlable portion Of The soil in the
Territory is supposed 10 be capable OF
sustaining a population Of two millions.
aud every foot OF il is susceptible OF Guilt

Hon. Henry Winter Davis.

The unanimous denomination OF this distin guish-
ed gentleman by the convention of the Fourth
Congressional district, shows the entire satisfac.
ton which he gave to his constituents in the dis
charge of his duties as a member of Congress, and
the confidence that if elected, he will continue 10
perform his duties with equal fidelity. The vote
Of the convention must be gratifying to his feelings
as it is certainly pleasing TO the Americans, not
only Of his district, but Of the whole State The
distinguished position which he occupied in the
House of Representatives-his acknowledged
ability-and his firm and satisfactory defence of
American principles on all OCCASIONS naturally at
tracted TO him the "cnvy, hatred, and malice" of
the opponents of that party-and their assaults
upon him were many and violent. He was stig-
matized as an abolitionist and il was sought TO
break him down upon that charge. But his enc
mics failed, because their charge was false. Henry
Winter Davis, was not, and Is not, more of an
abolitionist than Governor Wise, of Virginia, who
now thinks that the Buchanan and Walker policy
of permitting the people of Kansas TO decide upon
the slave question for themselves is just and proper
He did not give single vote in Congress, which
calculated TO disturb the institution Of slavery.
He refused 20 vote for Democrat as the Speaker,
and Of course incurred the condemnation of the
members Of that party
He acted with independence, boldness, and hon.
esty, and his constituents have said in convention
that they approve his conduct and as an evidence
VI
House Of Representatives. The manifestation of
this intention has given rise to renewed attacks
upon him by the foreign organ OF this city-but
the assaults Of that paper will exalt instead Of
depressing him in the eyes Of his constituents
and We therefore anticipate bis reelection by an
increased majority. An ablcr representative could
not be selected; and his constituents may point to
him with pride and pleasure. Who will be his
competitor? The gentleman who was his opponent
at the last election, il is understood will receive
an appointment TO foreign mssion-and there
can be no doubt that Mr. May is well qualified for
such position, having the necessary education,
talent and tact. He will hardly decline the ap-
pointment for the very uncertain prospect OF be-
coming the representative in Congress Of the
Fourth Congressional district. As the nation must
be represented abroad by Democrats and as Mary.
land should have share in such representation.
