There Is land immortal,
The beautiful OF lands;
Beside the ancient portal,
a sentry grimly stands.
He only can undo il.
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through il,
Are mortals never more.
That glorious land ls IIeavn,
And Death the sentry grim;
The Lnd, therefore hath given
The opening keys 10 him.
And rapsomed spirits singing
And sorrowing for sin,
Do pass the gate in dying,
And freely enter il.
Tho dark and drear The passage
That lesdeIh 10 The gate.
Yer grace comes with the message.
To souls Ihat watch and wait;
And. at the Time appointed.
a messenger comes down;
And leads tie LORDS anointed
From The cross 10 glory's crown.
Their sighs are los, 10 singing,
They're bIessei in their tears,
Their journey homexard ~inging,
They leave TO earth their fears.
Dmih like an angel seeme,h--
We welcome thee they cry;
Their face wiih glory beame,h-
'Tis li'e for them 70 die.

10- Wilson, the telegraph man, issued or ders last week to the operators on the line, to raise SIS each, to pay for the news received over the wires on Tuesday night. Hence the citizens of Litchfeld, Wolcottville, and Win sted, and perhaps of other towns, are compelled to bleed to that amount. We should like to en- quire of this Mir. Wilson, if a bonus of $l ,000 each, raised by the citizens of these villages, and given gratuitously without cents considera- ton except the accommodation naturally af- foried by . telegraph, is not to be deemed a sufficient compensation for little public news once in four years, especially when full hayf of that amount went into the individual pocket of Wilson, for his great accommodation And we should like also to enquire, whether by this exhibition of paltry meaaness, he expects the public to increase their patronage of his line, and augment the profits which he receives, and wn'en are now as as large in proportion as any line in the State,

ssA- It need not seem at all strange or dis couraging to the Republican party, that where we have such immense gains on the popular vote, we lose few congressman hero and there. When, as in New York City, local feuds exist between democratic politicians, and struggle for the spells, it often happens that a Republi- can may be elected but this year, the Dry Goods element have raised sufficient fund of money to BUY OFF all the independent" democratic candidates, and the result is cleaa sweep for the Democracy.
 In Ohio, Pennsylvania and other free States, local affairs and personal feuds too often throw away district into the hands of the Sham De- mocracy. But whatever may be the result, the next Congress may be anti-Republican, but not ASrl-LINcoLN-as sufficient number of votes from the Southern oppositonists to Democracy, who will no more unite with the secessionists than water with fire, can always be obtained to vote supplies and carry on the administration of on Honest-Anti-Sham Union administration. And 50 ABRAHAM LINCOLN will be fully sus- tained by the people in the House of Represcn- tatives, and two years more will give his admin istration majority of the support of the Senate over which HANNIBAL HAN1LN will preside.

 The Woodbury Republicans turned out on nasss on Thursday evening of last week to st tend the first grand Republican rally of the cam. paign in their town. The large Town Hall was crowded and very many were compelled to go away for want of room for even standing place Wm. Cothren, Esq, presided and speeches were made by Vim. K. Peck, Esq, of Norfolk, and the Editor of the ENQUIRER. After the speeches an elegant collation. was given in the courtroom over the town hall to the Bethlem Wide Awakes and the speakers, by the Republican ladies Of Woodbury and was in everyway an elegant and sumptuous entertainment
 Woodbury has no more reason to be proud of her beautiful situation and elegant streets than she has of her hospitable hosts and handsome hostesses The further south we go in tha county the fair sex seem to become the fairer and we only wonder that Woodbury possesses any unmarried ladies over fifteen years of age
 We must not forget either, to mention th., mine host " Perkins" knows how to keep ho tel as well as the next person, and understands excellently we'll how to provide for the inner in dividual and take care of the outer-though he is Breckinrdge manor eras before election and the best we can say of W oodbury personally is, that it's "a land of cakes !'

 But there is good reason to believe that Col. Baker does not hold any such opinions as have been attributed to him. There is gentleman, now in town, of unimpeachable integrity, who heard Col.

Litchlleld.
 The election passed of quietly and with great satisfaction to the Republicans. The Douglas clement of the Democracy were triumphant over the Breckenridge; and the Republicans, without any very extra exertions, were triumphant over all. There was just ONE Bell-syeretter from the heights of Northfeld, and nary another. Glory enough for one day.
 - Ltchfield and Morris give together majority for Lincoln, against 7s on the other side last spring. The old town of Litch6eld gave majority for Taylor in AS, and for Hen ry Clay in "A.
 Our Wide Awakes went down to Bantam on Friday evening of last week, by invitation of some of the Republicans in that vicinity, to par take of supper and unite in grand jollifcation They marched and counter-marched through the village, and finally brought up at the old store of Kinney & Parkhurst, where an excellent hot supper was gratefully discussed. During the march some dirty little boys, representing the ragged democracy, amused themselves with blow ing tin horns and shying decayed eggs in the wake of the Wide Awakes, always, however, keeping at very respectable distance from Capt. Pscks reach. Had he been successful in reach tug any of them-they would probably have had g pleasant experience from the toe of one of his big boots, which would have destroyed their wind apparatus for at least one campaign.
