Burst, and sprang instructive upward,
For its source was on the height.

And they fell exhausted back
On that fountains crystal margin
Still, at eve, sat reclined
Listened to the fountains music
Wished might its chain unbind!

Still drew back its silver rain,
Mightier hands would soon release it

Burst the fount of life its sod;
Bursts, and springs instructive upward
For It's lofty source is God !;
But that striving spirit. fountain

Earth's invisible bonds detain it
Oft it sinks exhausted back:

Waits till mine shall rend its chain.
Oft its pinions, half-unfolding,
Lures my soul the height to gain !

Sentiment Of Lousiana.-The new Cover
nor of louisiana in his inaugural says: There
is patriotic minority in the on-slave- hold
ing States who faithfully upholdIng the
rights of the South. and are battling for the
maintainauce of the constitution. The en-
tire South makes common cause with thi. mi
nority, constituting great national party,
all striving to conquer and annihilate that
sectional party, whose success will immedi-
ately leopard and finally sever the Union
The triumph of this great national organiza-
ton will be the beginning of 3 return to that
..2erfect union, that general welfare" and
that "domestic tranquility" that the eonstitu-
ton of the United States was intended to pro
mote and secure. Such a triumph would
greatly restore the old harmony and awaken
again the old sentiments; and it is the last
hope of those who. like myself. desire to see
the Union perpetuated. louisiana does not
desire to see these States severed from their
present political connections.
