THE EVE OF ELECTION.

From gold TO gray
Our mild sweet day
OF Indian Summer fades too soon;
But, tenderly,
Above the sea
Hangs, white and calm the Hunters moon.
In its pale fire,
The village spire
Shows like the zodiac's spectral lance;
The painted walls,
Whereon il falls.
Transhgured stand in marble franco!
O'er fallen leaves
The west wind grlcves,
Yet comes the seed time round again
And morn Shall see
The stat sown free
With 6aletul taFeS or hea!thtul grain
Along the atreet
The shadows meet
OF Destiny. whose hands conceal
The msuldS OF fate
That shape the State,
Aud make or mar the common weai.
The Laugh runs loud,
Beneath the sad Tebuklng moon.
God save the land,
A careless hand
May shake OF swefve ere morrow noon
one cast amiss
May blast the hope of Freedoms year.
Oh, take me where
Are hearts ofprayer,
And foreheaLs bowed in revcrent fear !
Bey md recall
Thewritten scrolls breath can aOat:
The Crownlng fact,
The kiugliest act
or Freedom ist the treeman's vote!
A diadern.

The Re.Union of the Demo cracy.

The following despatch to a New YORK paper
embodies rumor which has been current for
some days in the pOliuca. circles OF TINS city
Senator Green Of Missouri, has suggested
compr, .nise bsFgecn the disagreeing factions of
tho Democracy, which meets the approval OF
President buchanan and Secretary Cass, and
which ii is expected, viii unite the party
He Western democracy insist on the re-ihstate-
ment of Mr.. Douglas as n regular member OF the
party. Mr.. Green proposes to drop all discus
sion upon Intervention and non-interyentlon as
on-essentials, and proposes also the withdrawal
of all opposition to the admission of Kansas,
whether as free or slave State. in the next
Congress These bases of accommodation are
accented by the Administration, and tie breach
between the factions of the Democracy is regard
cd as healed"
The object of Senator Green's interposition, if
indeed he has employed himself in the enterprise
attributed to him by the Washington cores
pondent, will receive the appreciation OF all
good democrats. Apart from the fraternal feel
ing which should always prevail among members
of the political association, it Is especially
important in the present conjecture, that the
Democratic party be reunited in time for the
campaign of 1860. 1t is doubtful if, under any
circumstances, the triumph of the Opposition
can be intercepted. Without the cordial co-ope-
ration of all the divisions of the Democracy it is
plainly impossible to prevent that most calamit-
Gus catastrophe. The question for Democrats
to determine is, whether they will agree to sus-
mend their differences immaterial issues, or
rcnounce' every hope of maintaining their as
cendancy; whether it be better to forbear contro-
versv on a metaphysical abstraction than to in
sure the rejection of all their principles aud all
their measures; whether the bigotry of indiyid-
ual opinion shall prevail against the imperative
obligations of patriotism and party; whether
in short, the Union shall be sacrificed to an IN
tangible and impracticable punctilio of the poll
ticians. This question is Of no less concern to
the interests of the South, since the surest safe
guard of its rights is the integrity of the demo
Cratic party. 1t is a laudable undertaking, then
in which Senator Green is engaged, and We can
snot bat wish him the most complete Success

From the State Gazette,
Presentation for Opininions' sake-The Black
i Rn,,,inr IInf1lrled

II was for prescription Of opinion that the first
settlers came to America. 1t is this that has
driven thousands from Europe to these shores. -
1t was for this that the Democratic party pun
their seal of condemnation upon the alien and Sc
dition laws 1t was for this that we fought the
battle of Know Nothingism.
If there is anything in the Democratic creed
standing out in more bold relief than another 1t
is FREEDOM OF OPINION. The Democra'lc
party was organized to promote great measures
of public policy to protect the hlghtS oil PERSONS
and Property. Appealing therefore, to the
masses of the voters in each State and IN the ke'
public, it is the party of Conventions, OF Plat
forms and of Nominations. 1t is therefore par
tv of the reest discussion, and it binds no one to
any opinion outside Of the simple issues WaSed
in its platform.
In establishing its platform. IS we'll as IN hold
ing its conventions, everything is put to vote
and the party is responsible for no Issues winch
does not appear in its platform.
These things are well understood by all true
Democrats. At the Houston Conventional plat
form was adopted UNANIMOUSLY and has been
submitted already in our columns. That plat
form contains the same principles avowed at Gin
cinnati and at Waco. In the free discussions

Policy of the 0ppOsition-An Admonition for

OF all the Black Republican journals. the New
York IriJuuciS the most influential with its par
tv: in some measure because of the ability with
which it is conducted, bat chiefly on account Of
its sagacious counsel. The IiTjUoo is unqurs-
tonably the most reliable exponent Of the policy
of the Opposition. Hence the consequence We
attach to an article in its Issue Of yesterday.
Mr. Grcclv is disclursing ION the Presidency
in lSGO'' lie assumes the necessity OF union
among all the clements Of Opposition; and the
problem to he solved is the achievement ot that
consummation With characteristic candor he
ayoyys himself in favor of such an administration
of the government as will restrict tha expansion
of slavery. whether by its introduction into free
Territory or b. the purchase oG Cuba. At the
same time. he does not propose to impair the Sc
curitv of tine system in the States, except insofar
as that result may be involved in the repeal OF
the Fugitive Slave law This he estecms an IN
dispcnsablc condition. So much IN respect u
the policy of the Opposition. Every intelligent
ucrs m will observe its prudent adaptation t' the
purposes of the Abolitiouists. " Wle 1t appears
to be constructed with Il view to AVOID such hc5'
of violence as would rouse the Sputh to resist
ance. its success might be none the less fatal L
the interests of slavery. la truth it is the onl,
noliry by which the Abolitionists can ever affair
their object.

We were with Capt. Baylor when the fight tool;
place with the Indians Of the Lower Reserve. Ii
occurred on the Odd day of May. Capt. Baylor
had with him 24O men, The circumstances are
briefly us follows;
Wa had approached within perhaps n half mile
of the Agency. ON the Lower Reserve, designing
to pass it and attack the Upper Reserve, when We
were met hv nm officer with escort, sent out hy
Cant plummcr vino demanded of Capt. Baylor
his reason - being ON the reservation with nm
armed force Capt Baylor replied that he was
there for the purpose of attacking the Indians on
the Reserve, hut that he had no intention OF
fighting the United States troops, and requested
that the commanding Officer would withdraw
them This Capt. Plummer refused to do, and
SAID that he would protect the indians
Rcsuming the march we pursued our way to-
wards the Upper Reserve, crossing Salt Creek.
About the time the last of our men had crossed
the Greek. some 200 or $50 Indians appeared on
the mountains to our left. They We're provided
with u. S. armcs. They cursed us, called us
towards, bantcrcd us for fight, and fired 100 or
300 guns at us before we returned shot. We
did not return their fire because they were 50 lar
off that our rifles would not reach them.
As we were marching from his point some OF
the Indians appeared in the valley, and made Il
drive ut Capt. Hammer, who succeeded in caHtur-
ing one rthcm. an old man apparently about %
years Of age. lie appeared to he icrocious In
dian. Capt. Hammer brought him to Capt. Bay
lor and they decided that they would keep him as
prisoners but the Indian made an attempt to
soizo Capt Hammers pistol, and failing in the
attempt the Capt. shot him twice with the pistol
killing him instantly. The Indians continued
the fight for two or thrco miles, waylnyinS and
firing upon us, and wounded one OF our men NOR
tally. They then ceased until we had campcd,
when they attacked us in force. The light last
nI nhout :Lrrc haurs Ono or our mon was KILL
ed and three were wounded. and six or eight In
dams were killed The Indians Withdrew about
sundown. Understanding that our party is
charged with having wantonly murdered an In
dian woman. we can only say that to the best OF
our information and belief the charge is false
There was no Indian woman killed, or wounded
or misrcatcd in any way; nor was any insult oi-
fcrcd to the Martins.
