MR. EDITOR: The following lines were suc gested on visiting the grave of sister, If yo, think them worthy of publication, please inser them in your paper and oblge the author: Sleep on, sweet sister, sleep on
 Tho cherless and cold is thy bed Gods trump will anon awake thee.
 To bask where again live the dead. Sleep on, bright glory awaits thee--
 Prepared Is a circiet in Heaven, To adorn the fair brow, wh ich to earth s But for brief space was given. Sleep on, sweet sister, sleep on
 Lfe's perilous journey is oer, And Angels are lowering around thee To wait thee to that mystic shore Where sorrow ne'er tortures the heart, Nor tears dim the bright eve, Where peace and tranquility reign
 And the breast heaves not with sigh. Sleep on, dear sister, sleep on,
 II life our hearts were entwined, In affections strong bond, and as one In Heaven they will be enshrin ed. Sleep on, loved sister, sleep on,
 Tho with grief this heart is now riven. Soon Pll part with the loved ones of earth, To meet thee in wonders bright Heaven.

Elegant Extracts.

The Nashville Union and American in the article copied below, hits some hard blows:
 "The know nothing papers almost without exception exulted over the black republican victories in Pennsylvania, New York, etc. So do the free negroes of Ohio. Our southern op- position contemporaries desire to see the demo- cracy routed and overthrown. So do the black brethren of Ohio.
 Compare the language of these southern journals with the resolutions and speeches at a free negro convention held in Cincinnati on the 23 instant
 They afford faithful portrait of democracy in all its hidcousness and show to what a cos- diton our country will soon be reduced, unless the people rise in their majesty throughout the whole Union, as they haoe done in Pennsylvania, againt the democratic administration and A,e democratic party.-NsahuiUe Burner.
 He hated the democratic party because it was pro-slavery party. He exhorted his friends to oppose Tn every way in their power that par ty. The people a0ere killing out hat party aH through the north, aud he ,oas qlad to hear of a. Has motto aoas, the democratic party must De de- stroyed.-Report cf speech of John ". Langstor,, free naan ef color, at tue negro convention in Cincinnati.
 Why may notsouthern men exult ss earnestly over the triumph of the opposition at the north as over the triumph of the democracy there?- Richmond Whag.
 The next speaker was Mr. w. Watkins, who is connected with Fred Douglass paper He believed that the democratic pirty was the great foe of the black; that the republican party in New York had done something for the colored man and he belived it would do more. The important thing to do in the late election ,oas to deteat the Democratic payty, and they had done Mat.-Speech at Free Negro Convention.
 We have no confidence in them, and we can not suppose any probable case in which we would prefer the success of northern democrats to the success of republicans-Nashviue Ban. ner.
 Resolued, That we rejoice at the declension of the democratic party in the north, and hone that Its defeat presaSes the downfall of slavery of'whlch accursed system it has been a firm suPporter'-ffesos'taon cf Free Negro Conven- ton.
 A wonderful harmony of opinion and feeling seems to exist between our opponents and the coiored brethren with regard to the democratic party.
 To which we add the following elegant ex- tracts from the Gazette of this city. Speaking of the democracy and aboitionists he says:
 The contest between them, for spells, is like fight between snake and pole. cat-one ln which we can't see how good southern man can take sides."
 We can't see how good southern man can belong to either of these two parties-but, that is matter of taste and preference, in which every man is his own judge"
 "The republican party, the great opponent of the dnmocratic party"

For the True Democrt. To Ellen Singleton, of Calhoon, Kentucky

BY viKGINIUs HUTCHEN. Fair one. my spirit flies to thee,
 Unto thy wave washed home afar- For thou art nov bs.oms tp me
 My dark lifes living dream star; And should thy blue eye sparkle bright In loving smile sweet one. on me, No brilliant orb that glIds the night Were hail So radient as thee. 'Twere bliss to know, pure hearted maid, Within whose soul gay fancies shine, That love for me had kindly made dwelling in that heart of thine; No joy hath mankind here below, To draw the sting from scorpion care, Like that dear jioy it is to know
 That we are loved by young and fair. A child of care and pain and sin, Through many lands 'tis mine to roam, But thou hast rayed new light in
 An eXiie's Occidental home; For oh, my soul with rapture fills, To think that loving heart of thine With something ike affection thrills To hear the stationed songs ot mine. Yes, It were heaven on earth to feel, If love is biisstul as 1t seems. That loving thoughts of me would steal Into the circle of thy dreams Sweet Woman of Kentucky's cline! Enchanting as know thou art, Thou art the sweet Eve in my rhyme, Within tine Elen of my heart Oh, would like to hear the tone
 Of thy soft voice upon my eur, For, Ellen fair languish lone,
 Oh, very sad and lonely here; No hearts in this strange land there be That tender love for me enshrine; A place Is in my soul for thee
 Is there a place for me in thine! tain would see the auburn mesh Of thy wealth of soft and shining hair, lmbanded OCT the rose tint fresh That makes thy virgin cheek so fair; And oh, I'll yearn and often sigh
 In many waking dream you, To see your art-transfixing eye, Bright as moonbcam on the dew. As torches bright in caverns shine, Brighter because of the darkn .ss there, So in this shadowed soul of mine
 Will glow thy likeness, Ellen fair; But fir thee well, delightful theme That claimed the tribute of a song! am not worthy thus to dream
 Of charms that to myself belong Emit be all the days to thee,
 And softly may tEey lapse, and glide As floating ospreys on the sea,
 Or shaliops down visions tide May all the paths thy feet may rove, Be ever green and rose besprcnt, And pleasant as Persian grove,
 Where CT their windiugs may be bent. Nohticelio, .4rkaDSds.
