Hope.
By c. G. WRIGHT.

Hope is an angel, pure and bright
ClotAed in a robe of holy light,
That lifts the soul, and charms the sight,
And turns to day the darkest night
Ii is the one bright star see,
That makes my heart beat light anu free ;
Without its solace what would be
This great and mighty world to me ?
But Hopes sweet face, with beauties rare,
Oft pictures scenes so bright and fair,
They rest suspended in the air
4 moment, and then perish there.
When in her smiles think see
a bright and blest futurity,
wonder if twill evetbe
More than f,ultess dream to me !
In such bright dreams | love to dwell,
With thoughts that can my spirit quell,
And hopes that all my doubts dispel,
Till conscious memory breaks the spell.
In the uncertain future lies
hidden book of mysteries
A book ne'er seen bv mortal ewes,
Where al! those happy dreams arise.
But time each hidden page reveals,
Discloses all, and nauglt conceals
Then many heart that anguish feels,
Which only Hopes sweet presence heals.
Let Hope my guardian angel be,
Ny beacon Der this stormy sea,
Till tate fuiils my destiny,
And sets the willing spirit free

DEMocRAcY RIsIYG 1t is note worthy
fact. that the Opposition have never made
more strenuous efforts than IN the last six
months, yet with all their desperate eli
forts they have made no acquisition of any
consequence. On the other hand, tie
Democracy is steadily gaining ground
and numbers. In every city or State elec-
ton that has been held, where side issues
have not been made to influence the re-
suit. the Democrats have gained heavily.
In every case where an election has been
held this year, on the national issues, the
Democracy have been the gamers. These
political skrmiohes to the great political
battle of the year are important, chiefly
for the reason that they show by their Is
sues the uniform Democratic tendency OF
the people.

DoUGLAs' SPEECH.--The senate chamber
was crowded to-day with the beauty and
fashion of Washington, TO listen to Senator
Douglas. He spoke over three hours, de-
voting that time principally to the exami-
nation Of the records of the Southern
states on non-intervcntion The record
he made wherein they pledged themselves
to that doctrire in l848, 1850. 1852. and
1856. was terrific and overwhelming From
it there is no escape except by an ac-
knowledgement of change Of opinion.
Then he pronered them forgiveness if they
would frankly acknowledge that they were
wrong before, and had changed, and in
quired if it was too much to ask of them
that they should also excuse HIM and his
friends for having stood faithfully by the
principles which they had indorsed as fl
nalities and utimatums, only five short
years ago. The sensation was overpower-
ing, and the galleries broke out in vo-
ciferous applause. He viii finish to-
