no doubt the influence Of the Ad-

Yonder mountain side is dark with night
While broad orbed, Ger its silvery crow n A.,
Cynthia, slow winding into sight,
On the quiet inland sea looks down.
How start to light the clustering isles,
Each silver gemed. How keenly show
The shades Of their rocky piles,
And tree.tops in the waves below.
How very strange the mountains seem,
!. Dim towering through the pale, still light!
eke vague. vast grouping Of a dream,
They stretch into the solemn night
Yon pillared tower, with ghost-like form.
Rears its giant head-its lengthening shade
Like pail Of night, with darksome frown,
Falls athwart the stream which time has
made.
Beneath--lake, wood and peopled vale,
Stilled by the presence, grand and grave
Are silent save the zephyr's wall.
And low response Of leaf and wave.
The night-breeze, through the solemn grove,
Wake not the stiffness OF the plain,
But the cony there, at will can rove,
Unmolested by the huntsman's train.
The night birds scream cannot be hear1-
Stiffness relgns throughout the dark recess
Not single sound of beast or bird:
But all lies in forgetfulness.

How rarties ssaad.

From tbs passage Of Harris reso

posed that some considerable portion

opposed to the admission Of Kansas
Such 10 not the case. Tho present
Congress stands, In tho House, 1871
Democrats, 92 Republicans, and IL
Know Nothinga. OF these, Harris
resolution received 81 Republican
% Democratic votes, and one Know
Nothing vote. While there were
cast against against it. 1o1 Demo.
cratic, and 10 Know Nothing votes.
Every Republican present voted 70,
1t, while Of the 1873 Democrats pres
snt, but 23 voted for it. As every
vote cast for this resolution, was, in
effect,a vote cast against the admis.
sion Of Kansas; aud as every vote
cast against the resolution, was, in
effect, vote cast for the admission
ofkansas, tue position Of parties can
DO readily seen. Yet, we have no
doubt, ii the admission of Kansas

should eventually be defeated by just
such a vote, the party in this section,
would claim it as a democratic vic.

sert that the Republicans and the
Lecomptonites, have exchanged po.

and the latter that Of Intervention. -
From the vote cast in the House, it
would appear that the entire boly OF

doned their frat faith, which, as is
averred, now finds embodyment
in the creed OF the Republican party.
AS the Douglas Democrats declare
