The Sentiment of New England

The Augusta (Maine) Age, answers the
problem " How to prevent the election of
Black Republican President, and save the
Union, in the following sensible and con-
elusive manner. The article correctly in
terprets the sentiments of vast majority
of the New England Democracy
Nobody doubts that it is within the
power of the Charleston Convention to
prevent the election of Black Republican
President in 1860 and to preserve the peace
and harmony of the Union. And it being
within the power of that convention to do
so, every body will say the thing ought to
be done. The Charleston convention has
only to give force and effect to the unmis-
taxable will of the great majority of the
party by the nomination OF Stephen A
Doug las for the Presidency and the re-affir-
nation of the Cincinnati platlorm-and the
success of the Democracy in the approaching
Presidential campaign is certain. We do
not say that no other man, standing upon
the same platform, can be elected far from
it--but we simply affirm that with Mr..
Douglas for candidate his election would
be certainty, while there might be more or
less doubt attending the canvass with almost
any other man. The popular preference is
concentrated upon Mr.. D., and the masses
desire his nomination, and would ratify it
with will at the polls.
If the elevation of a sectional party to
power in the federal government is fraught
with such hazards to the Union, is it not the
first and highest duty of the Democratic
party to take precisely that sort of action
in the premises which will most effectually
prevent the possibility of an occurrence so
calamitOus They can certainly prevent it
by the nomination OF Stephen A. Douglas.
They may fail to do so should they nomi-
nate some other man. Can the party afford
to run any unnecessary hazards at this juno.
ture? Are not the threatened consequences
of failure too perlous to the country to
justify the party in mourning risks so fear
full? The masses of the party everywhere
think so--and it is hoped that the Charles
ton convention will think so too--and so
thinking, that they will inscribe upon the
national Democratic banner for the cam.
paign of 1860 the name of Stephen A.
Douglas as the standard bearer of the party
From that moment the campaign of 1860
is fought and won-from that moment all
fears of the triumph of sectional organi-
zation will be at an end-from that moment
the success of the national Democracy is
assured-and henceforth the =" stars and
stripes +" will float over a peaceful, united
and happy country, securely reposing on the
protecting power and justice of its govern
ment, backed and sustained by the strong
hands and StOnt hparte Of on ovarwhplminr
majority OF the American people.

FORMULA FOR G-NoGG.-Take the
yolks of sixteen eggs and twelve table.
spoonsfull of pulverised loaf sugar and beat
them to the consistency of cream; to this
add two-thirds of a nutmeg grated, and beat
well together; then mix in half pint of
good brandy, or Jamaica rum and two wine
glasses of Madeira wine. Have ready the
whites of the eggs beaten into stiff froth,
and beat them into the above described
mixture. When this is all done, stir in six
pints of good rich milk. There is no heat

makes excellent drink for debilitated per.
sons, and nourishing diet for consumptives.
We may also add that it is good for most
any one who is fond of something to take.

LIT I'll e JAN e .
BY J. STANYAN BIGG.

Little Jane came dancing
Into the sunny room,
"And what do YOU think, papa p she cried,
81 saw the father of Ellen who died,
And the men who were making the tomb
And the father patted me on the Head
All for the sake of her who is dead!
And gave me this doll. and wept, and said
That was my papa's pride ~
"And so YOU are" with an accent wild,
Said the widower wan: "Come here, my child?'
All but her locks were fair and bright,
Oh but her eyes were full of light,
And her little feet danced in ceaseless play.
always be glad, always be gay,
Sing and romp and never be sad,
So you will make your papa glad"
And the little one bounded from his knee,
Lifted her doll and screamed with glee,
As the sunlight fell on the floor;
But who is he at the open door,
Waiting, watching evermore-
Whose fellow none may see
Who came unbidden once before,
And hush d the harp in the corner there,
And filled one heart with the wild despair
Of the endless Nevermore?
Stealthy his touch, and stealthy his tread,
He lays his hand on her sunny head:
And who may mention the grace that has lied,
Or paint the bloom of light that is dead !
The Present rushes into the past
Nothing on earth is doomed to last;
Summer is ended, and Winter is near,
Rain is streaming on moor and mere.
Dead leaves are on the blast;
The shutters are up in the empty room,
Nothing to break its hush of gloom
Nothing but gusts of FLASHING rain,
Beating against the window pane.
Mingled with brine swirled up from the sea,
And thoughts of that which used to be
And cannot be again.

The ElectiOn-The Result.

We are under the impression that an eIec.
fion was held in Pennsylvania on Tuesday
of last week, in which we participated,
practically, 10 the amount of one ballot
and lost! II would appear from the com
pieIion of the..returns of this election that
Mr. Curtin, the man xhe, il is reported,
shot the peddler's dog, is elected Governor
of the State of Pennsylvania. Well, We
might have expected this, for Palemon
Johns astute Republican told Us months ago
that this would be the result The MAORI
ty is something in the neighborhood of 30,-
600. The circumstances that produced this
startling result, ii is impossible TO conjec-
ture at present-the general impression,
however, is, that we did not get votes
enough for our candidate. We are defeat
ed, that is TOO true, but we are not disor
ganized or disheartened-lhe darkest hour
is Just before day. Our coat is off, and we
are in for the next heat. In the language
of a friend tive still live, more and have
our being" although the "dog is dead -
We are not disposed to further comment
the election to-day. We are too busy ma
king preparations for our Trip.
