In Europe, closed the Crimean war,

In Europe, closed the Crimean war,
 By which the Czar's broad throne was shaken The cannon's roar died on the shore,-
 Sebastopol's proud fort was taken; Peace, like the sunbeam through the storm,
 Whose piles had just dissolved in thunder, Came. with her blessings bright and warm,
 Scatt'ring the clouds of grief asunder. But short her reign-ere long they play
 Again the bloody game of Kings! Italia's plain, for many day,
 With din and roar of battle rings; And ships, by hundreds, sweep the wave
 From west to east, while on the land, In serried ranks stand warriors brave,
 With flag and plume, with spear and brand. Now thousands fill a soldiers grave,
 Resting on fields all dark and gory; Widows and orphans mourn the brave,
 Who died to swell tyrant's glory: The blood, the treasure, spent in vain,
 What has it brought that we can see? Der Russia vast the Czar still reigns, ltalia's sons are not yet free.

Before which time each of my de- puties will be furnished with commission, forms, blanks, etc.. etc.

FROM WAsHINGToN.-Up to the night of the 2sth ult., the house had not organ ized. Sherman, the black republican can. didate, came within four or five votes of being elected several times On the 23d ballot, Horace Maynard, southern opposi- tion, received 65 votes; Sherman 101.
 The South Americans will have much to answer for. If Sherman is elected, they, who might have prevented it, may blame themselves.

Der our fair land the clouds are gathering fast, And plain the tokens of approaching storm; Unheaded are the lessons of the past,
 And cold the ties that once were strong and warm; The links that bound us one by one are broken,- Fanaticism. at once deaf and blind, Heirs not the truth, however clearly spoken,
 And casts all reason to the idle wind. Insulted, robbed, and even her soil invaded.
 The South, at last, is driven to the wall;- j. If, in the Union we must live degraded,
 Better live out of it-aud if we fall Let it be while struggling 'gainst oppression,
 Meeting the tvrants boldly, face to face; And though the last resort should be secession,
 Still welcome that in preference to disgrace. Alas! how holy things are desecrated,
 And crimes committed in Religions name, When war and treason are inaugurated
 By a false plea for freedom, and when shame Seems to have fled from pulpit and from altar,-
 When starving white slaves vainly seek relief; When abolitionists would make martyr
 Of old John Brown, the murderer and thief.

For more than eighty years our nation stood, And freedoms star shone brightly Der the food,- Must it, at last set ill a sea of blood?
 May He who holds all nations in his hand, Avert the civil war,--the sword and brand That threaten now to desolate the land. And let us hope the gloom will pass away,- Ger northern minds Reason resume her sway,- And true democracy shall win the day. After the long drought comes the welcome rain,- Land comes ill sight to those who sail the main,- Though winter now, the spring will come again. But if our hopes should fail and suffer blight Ii on the South is forced this fearful fight, Then, to your tents and battle for the right!

has ever proved to the opposition of what ever hue or name, an indomitable, fearless, and redoubtable champion of the liberal and humanitarian principles of democ- racv. And when know nottingham reared it's huge head in our midst, and was gather ing daily in its insidious folds thousands of the unwary and unsuspecting of our land; and by its alluring colors was daily beck oning hosts from our camp, he, like gal lant kni h. lily impressed with the great and overwhelming importance of the cause girded on his armor of crippled steel, and at great and ever memorable rally of the iron-nerved democracy of old Hampstead, in "vords that burned and thoughts that breathe" was he first to meet the gaunt and hungry monster, and repel him with his insatiate minions from the parapets reared by the hand of patriotism, in de- fence of our constitution and of this glorious confeleracy. And in his efforts and devo- tion he has never in any manner faltered or wavered Upon the stump, and by their firesides, he has appealed to the hard-fisted yeomanry; and on days set apart for cleo tions he neyer maakesa convenient to absent himself from his county, far aacay from Me field of excitement, in dread ef syuring his popularity; but he ever hunts the most populous precinct, and there discourses with the voters upon the great principles involved in the impending issue, and there casts his vote for the democratic nominees the chosen opponents of his creed, and the standard bearers of his faith.
 In regard to the comparative strength of the two in this judicial circuit, this is yet to be tested, the opinion of Jackson Demo- crat to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Much has been said in regard to the a tive attainments and qua ifcations, but of these we will all have an ample opportunity afforded us of judging dur ing the campaign before the meeting of the convention. It is not the inten- ton of this communication to disparage the claims of any aspirant, for the purpose of giving undue weight or importance to those of another It should be the object of every good and true democrat, to see that the several county conventions are fairly represented, that the delegates from each may meet in convention, fairly and justly refecting the will of the masses, that the nominee thereby may truly be con sidered the choice of the party. Armed with such commission, he will go forth on the arena of conflict, conquering and to conquer FAIR PLAY.

The year now past, to our lov'd State Now fast becoming rich and great,
 Brought blessings manifold; Rich harvests from the teeming soil Amply repaid the farmers toll
 Whose worth can scarce be told. A politician, making sure He could succeed, went on a tour,
 Democracy to rout,- The tricks of demagogues then trying, Bullying-caj ajoling-threat 'ning-lyng-
 He played himself quite out. But all in vain his rant and spouting, All futile were his cries and shouting,-
 The people saw his aim, His tricks exposed-his cunning schemes Vanishd at once like baseless dreams
 And left him nought but shame. So it is always-soon or late The traitor meets a traitors fate,
 His star has set in gloom,- Disorganizers every where This politicians fate shall share,
 And meet common doom. Dear Patron, if by rhymes I could influence Fate Could adorn life with smiles, and destroy all it's hate; Could make it withhold storms of grief and of fears, And stay its unpitying scissors or shears; If by rhymes 1 could save you one sorrow or pain, An excuse night be found to continue this strain, But only can wish that your life may be bright And rounded with happiness, beauty, and light, . And, at last, when you quietly sink to your rest, That your home may be found in the land of the blest.

Massachusetts, alone, of the four colonies,

For a little time there seemed reason to
hope that the law would do its office without
harm to any one. The first six Quakers who
were banished after its enactment went away
and returned no more. But men more desper-
ate than these mad the matter in hand. Viii
liam Robinson, "being in Rhode Island" con-
ceiyed that "the Lord had commanded him to
60 to Boston and to lay down his life there .
Marmaduke Stevenson was at the island of
Barbados when he "heard that New England
had made law to put the servants OF the liv-
ing God to death, ii they returned after they
were sentenced away" He took passage for
Rhode Island, and there ''the word of the
Lord came unto him, saying, Go to Boston
with thy brother, William Robinson" The
pair went accordingly. Mary Dyer "was
moved of the Lord to come from Rhode Isl
and to visit them and they were also Joined
at Boston by Nicholas Davis, from Barnstable
in Plymouth colony. The four were appre-
hended and received sentence of Punishment
with the addition that they should suffer
death unless they withdrew from the
jurisdiction. nicholas Davis and Mary
Dyer found freedom to depart; but the
other two were constrained in the love ard
power Of the Lord not to depart, but TO stay in
the jurisdiction, and to try the bloody law
unto death" Possibly they doubted whether
the magistrates had nerve to execute it, or
would be able to resist the popular pressure in
favor of mercy In that case, their own tri-
umph would be signal. But, in the last resort,
they expected TO conquer by dying.
