tn the Loved Ones nj Home

Loved onesl think OF ye
When first my eyes behold
The glowing tin,s of the morning sun
From the radiant east unfold,
.,d b,nish from the shrouded earth
The gloomy, ghosdy night
O ,hen think of We, loved ones!
Ia memory so bright!
Loved ones think of ye
When the suubeams touch IN PRIDE
The quiet, glistenlns face
OF the Cedar's gentle tide;
And when Auroras golden rays
In midday glow appear,
o then think of ye, loved ones
To memory so dear.
Loved ones think Of ye
When the sun is sinking low.
And last upon the mountain tops
Reflects his fading slnwi
And when the twillshts sacred hour
In stiffness drawe,h near,
think OF ye, beloved ones
Your memory doth cheer.
Loved ones! think OF ye
When win,ry winds may blow
And all this proud and lovely vaie'
Win IufdHy, >HiOuu IA o"S
And when view the rising height
OF 7ussey from afar,
Thy memory, beloved ones!
Is like golden star.
Loved ones, think OF ye
When midniehl's hour draws nigh,
And stars she'd forth their silvery fakes
In eladness from on high;
And when DER all the armament
Grim darkness spreads her pail
Kind memory. beloved ones
Still cherishes ye all.
Loved ones, though far away,
Yet do We think Of me
Whene'er bend the knee in prayer,
Then most think Of ye.
And when sweet slumber seals my eyes,
And drives away the tear,
Fen then think Of ye, loved ones.
In dreams so strangely dear.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The action Of

deemed judicious. Ilcarned from gentie'

of the principal Auti-Lccompson Demo-
Gratis before the Convention assembled T.;
and it was agreed upon, in Convention,
tha. they would not proceed to take any
action against the Lecomp.on Constitution
as Republicans, but adjourn sine die, with
instructions to their State Central Com
mi,tee to call q Convention, at an carly
day, of all those opposed to the Lecomp-
ton fraud. This will be done, and the
Convention will, probably. be held some
time during the last Of June. This &C.
ton of the Republicans meets the wishes
Of the Anti-Lecompton Democrats OF

Lecompton Democrats Of the House OF

"The King can do no Wrong
MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1855.

Throughout the Free States Just now,
there is wonderful unity of effort among
the Buchanan men to prevent all freedom
Of thought aud action on the absorbing
Kansas issue. The following, from last
weeks Union Argus, is fair specimen of
the sentiments advanced :
"Mr. Buchanan and his able Cabinet, COM
posed of the WISESr and BEST men of the
nation ARE NOT LIKELY TO ERR on SO simple
and plain question as the expediency OF
admitting Kansas as State; and that Demo-
erat ,pho sets his olrr opinion up against faeirs,
mus, not only have great confidence IN his own
ability. but MUST HAVE SOME OTHER
OBJECT in view besides the peace and vel
fare of Kansas and his country.
Look at the letter aud the spirit of the
sbove-so insulting to the manliness OF
every intelligent American-and say II
they do not be,ray the very dntn'us OF old
fashioned Toryism and kingcraft! The
truth is, Buchanan and his slavery-prop-
sga,iuc Cabine. are only mcn-no wiser,
bnt moro ambitious and less di5interested
than tho masses. They have right as
freemen to ''set up their opinion against"
President, King, Or any one else, without
being suubbcd for their temerity oy party
slave who controls press, or denounced
as acting from bad motives. Were the
base and scrvile spirit Of the Argus aud
Its kindred sheets embodied in the form
OF law, the relentless, crushing power OF
Napoleon over the press and the speech of
France, would be felt in America.
