ILLINOIS DEMocRACY.-Thc two wings
of the Democracy of Peoria county, in
attempting political meeting on the 10th,
had "a bowling time. The Buchanan
men on one side, and the Douglas bolters
on the other, each tried to get the control
and the meeting at last was obliged to ad-
iourn without action. Very different
from the meetings they held here in the
city Hail. They had great deaf oi
action here, and nothing else.
On the next evening they again met
and after most boistcrous session, the
Douglas faction succeeded in crushing GU
the administration democracy and passing
anti-Buchanan resolutions. The Buchan
an party say they arc the majority an'
they intend holding a meeting OF thci
own, indorsing the President and opposing
Douglas for his congressional interference

ING by officers McDougal and Wildey, Of
the detective force, for operating on the

POETRY
Some Things Love Die.
by THOMAS BUCHANAN REED.

by THOMAS BUCHANAN REED.
All within and all without me,
Feel melancholy thrill;
And the darkness hangs about me,
Oh, how still
TO my feet the river glideth
Through the shadow, sulcn, dark
On the stream the white moon ridcth
Like bark
And the linden leans above me,
Till think scmc things there he
In this drcary world that love me
Even me!
Gentle buds are blooming near me,
Shedding sweetest breath around.
Countless voices rise to cheer me
From the ground;
And the lone bird comes-l hear 1t
In the tall and windy pine,
Pour the sadness of his spirit
Into mine;
There it swings and sings above me,
Till | think some there be
In this drcary world that love me
Even me
Now the moon hath foatcd to me,
On the stream | see it sway,
Swinging boat like, as twculd WOO me
Far away;
And the stars bend from the azure
! could reach them where | lie
And they whisper all the pleasure
OF the sky;
There they hang and smile above me,
Till think some things there be,
In the very heavens that love me
Even me
Now when comes this tide Of even,
Like solemn river slow;
Gentle eyes, akin to Heaven,
On me glow
Loving eyes that tell their story,
Speaking to my heart CT hearts
Bu: sigh, thing or glory
Soon departs.
Yet when Mary scars above me,
I must think that there will be
One star more in Heaven to love nc
Even me-

Their night in hopeless tears.
