PUrSAM ON THE LATE ELscrIoN.- Put
nam's NJ .gazine for December contains a
finely written article entitled ''the late cleo.
tion," the frst paragraph of which opens up
the subject thus: .. .. r.... .4.
"The great triangular contest is a. an end
and the result, for the parties which were en-
gagged in it, may be summed up in the follow
ing terms tha. the Democratic, non the
Pro slavery party. has gained its candidates,
but damaged its cause that the Republican
party has lost its candidates but furthered
its cause and that the American" COM
posed of fragments Of decayed factions, has
lost both candidates and cause. In other
words, the Democrats, though victorious in
the choice of their men, are successful under
circumstances which yield them no occasion
for triumph : and the Republicans though de
feated, are beaten under circumstances which
render them stronger than they were before ;
while the Z" Americans" have injured others
but in SO doing, utterly ruined themselves -
The obstruction Of one party, the temporary
check Of another, and the doubtful ascenden.
cy of a third, is what we read in the sig
niGcant events OF November. The Demo-
Gratis have won at the expense of their pres
tige, and the Republicans have lost with an
accession Of power"

sire of ambitious men for the accumulation of
wealth, the last No. of Life illustrated makes
the following remarks
:" In all these exhibitions of human pas
sions, carried beyond their legitimate uses,
we read lesson of the simple principle, that
there can be no real and universal prosperity,
uucontaminaled by evil, till men learn the
laws of life and happiness. The great mis-
take is, that happiness is believed to consist
ia the qualification OF some one desire where
as true and essential happiness, immortal and
undsurbed, is only found in the healthful
development of GH the faculties of mind and

nepmbiican state Conycntion

The Republican State Central Committee,
the Republican members of Legislature, State
officers and other influential men, to the num-
Der Of near two hundred, met last evening
at the hospitable mansion of Hon. William
Dennison, Jr, Chairman of the Committee,
where free and candid interchange of opin-
ion in regard to the interests of the Republi
can Party was had. A number of gentlemen
from different sections of the State spoke, and
described the state of feeling in their various
localities. The accounts were most gratify-
ing. r.... -.s.rarrl 81 .. .....r .. F..
The matter of holding the State Conven-
venlion to nominate candidates, was consid-
cred at some length. 1t having been ascer-
tanned that the 18Th of July came this year
on Monday, it was deemed inexpedient TO hold
it on that day. Most of the speakers were in
favor Of having a short and vigorous cam
paign, and therefore advocated holding the
Convention about the 18th of August; and
this day was finally agreed upon as the day
on which the State Convention shall be held.
The Republicans are in fine spirits, buoy
ant, confident and ready to take the field
whenever their tickets shall be placed in nom
nation, and carry the banner forward to vic

To stain her cherub soul and form;

Yet think not death a tyrant dread,
Who rushes on his foes;
He comes with friendly hand to lead
From suffering to repose.
Your child is sure Of endless rest,
Beyond the reach Of pains
AS Sol is sure by fate, compressed,
His centre to maintain.
And wh4n disease and sorrow sweep
Across his kindred here,
Il will sooth- minds that she escaped
From misery and care.
