all this gain has been made in Milwaukee,
where one Of the most remarkable political
revolutions of the year seems to have been
effected. The republicans of Milwaukee are
about to have grand banquet in honor OF
their hard won victories.

P 0 Il T r Y
WE TOO HAVE AuTUMNs.
BY JAMES HCSSrLL LOWELL.

We, too, have autumns, when our leaves
Drop loosely through the danpencd air,
When all our good seems bound in shcaycs.
Aud we stand reaped and bare.
Our seasons have no fixed returns,
Without our will they come and CO.
At noon our sudden summer burns.
Ere sunset all is snow.
But each day brings less summer cheer.
Crimps more our Intellectual spring,
IND something earlier every year
Our singing birds take wing.
As less the olden glow abides
And less the chillier heart aspires.
With drift wood beached in past spring tides
We light our sullen fires.
By the pinched rushlight's starving beam
We cover and strain our wasted sight,
To stitch youths shroud up, seam by seam,
In the long arctic night.
Itwas not so-we once were young
When Spring to womlnly summer turning,
Her dewdrops ON each grass-blade strung,
In the sunrise burning.
We trusted then, aspired, believed
That earth could be re-madc tomorrow -
All, why he ever undeceved?
Why give up faith to sorrow,
o, thou whose days are yet all spring;
Trust blighted once, is past retrieving;
Experience is dumb dead thing;
The victorys in believing.

ginning. She does not need to do any thing
for the sake of having it talked about, nor is
it worth while to make unnecessary laws,
merely to have it said that we are going

MIR. NICHoLSON's BILL.

We give an extract or two from the debate
in the Senate, November 10, on Mr.. Nichol-
sons Bill relating to Fusitives from Service,
as we find it reported in Walton's Journal,
We considered the Bill when introduced
as a bill for political eifect-a kind OF bill
Halls of legislation. In our view no good
could come to any one from its enactment in
to a law, and its chief effect would be to place
the legislation Of the State and the people of
the State in false positions.
Mr.. Wilson, of Franklin Co., showed with
force the injurious consequences of passing
such an act. Slaves, apprentices and runaway
children are to be treated alike--a slave
catcher and parent are in the same condi-
ton before such a law.
In his judgment, one hundred claims Of
parents for their children, OF guardians for
their wards, and Of masters for their upprcn-
tices. would arise in Vermont, where one fu-
gityc slave would be arrested here, and to
require the first named class Of claimants to
submit to the provisions Of this bill, would be
rIinou- in pccuniary point OF view, in yio-
lation Of the Constitution, and subversiye of
every principle of natural and civil liberty.
Suppose minor child, residing in the State
Of New York. should escape into this State
he is pursued by bis father; and the father,
instead Of taking the child Immediately back
to his home. "a by the law of that State and
by the present laws Of our State. he would
have the right to do. he is required to submit
to the provisions Of this bill what might be
the consequences? He may not be able to
furnish a bond in the sum OF two thousand
dnIlnrs. he loves his child. and is not willing

The friends of the bill claimed that it is n con-

the State to have these exhibitions travelling upon

these exhibitions could be made a source of profit
