Heavy Winter comes with spectral train,
And he rides upon a dusky cloud,
From the hills of mist unto the plain,
Like the demon Death in mourning shroud
And feel the breath of the Ice King,
And | see his misty eye expand,
As his frozen tears fall on the pane,
Like "rappings from the spirit land
And hear him chant i'll grove and dell
Mournful requiems DER the parting bloom
And they strike my ear with dismal knells,
Like ghostly echoes from the tomb.
o, when will the roses bloom again,
And the sunshine come and summer breeze
And the minstrel choir pour out their strain
From their leafy homes in blossomng trees
And when will the merry streams come down
From their ice-bound cells in hills Of snowf
o, when will they rend their chains and bound,
Free and unfetter'd, to the wales below!
For weary with the long and stormy night
With the dark and gloomy winter day,
And long to see the summer sun shine bright
And drive these cheerless clouds away

1t is not little gratifying to know. that
the Democratic party is at length effcctually
rid of the Traitors, Hickman Of Chester and
Schwartz of Bcrks. They both when they
took their seats in Congress at the commence
ment of the present session, profcssed to be
democrats, and many of their friends asserted
that they would assist in electing Democrat
ic Speaker They have however been enga-
ged for nc arly two weeks in veting for Black
Republican for that office. Schwartz told the
Democracy of Berks county, when soliciting
their votes, that he.was democrat and a
friend of Mr. Buchanan. If he had not done
so he would not have been elected. But
Forney & Co were the men who urged him
to run as q candidate, and we are not there
fore at all surprised at his treacherous course
in Congress. Hickman was the right boper

Letter from Ex-Prcsiden mt Pierce.

Ex-President Pierce, in reply to an invi-
tation extended him to be present at the re-
cent Union meeting at Boston, sent letter,
dated Concord n. ii December 7th. from
which we take the two concluding para
graptss
Il dony. in the name of all that is most
sacred and precious in our inheritance, that
there is an element of .:irreprcssible conflict"
between the Southern and Northern members
of this Confederation The doctrine is as un-
sound and untrue as it is fearful 1t is con-
tradicted BY the unbroken experience of the
first fifty years of our history 1t would have
been the price of the loss of reputation for
life to have uttered it while the men who
fought the battles of the Revolution, and
framed the Constitution, were yet alive. No.
1t has not come. and with the blessings of
God upon the exertions of good and patriotic
men, it will never be nearer.
Il have faith in the power of your efforts,
my fellow citizens; faith that your example,
in this relation, will be followed and your ac-
ton initiated, not only in other parts of Mas
sachusetts, but by citizens of other States,
who appreciate the blessings which the Con-
stitution has conferred upon them, and who,
come what may, intend, on their native soil
and with their children around them, to claim
It's protection aud uphold its authority.
faith, above all, that the continued favor OF
the God of our fathers, who watched over eul
feeble political beginnings, who preserved Us
through the innumerable perils of the strug-
gle for nationality, will yet make the wrath
of man s1bservieut to the peace and durabili-
ty of this Union

If nominated we entertain no doubt of his
triumphant election As Chief Magistrate of
the Republic, he would doubtless administer
the Government in manner that would re-
dound to the happiness and prosperity of the
whole country, and prove himself einincntly
worthy to wear the mantle of James Buchan-
an. We are not however disposed at pres
ent, to urge or insist on the claims of auy
particular aspirant. Give US an able anu pa
triotic Democratic Statesman for cur leader
next year, and We ready to support him
zealously and cheerfully. Any man but a
demagogue willing to sell his party and unite
with Black Republicans, for the purpose of
carrying cut his schemes for promoting his
personal success AID greatness.
