Enron CHoSlcLE: In the issue Of the Jefferso-
nian Of the l2th I find communication signed
aObserver" that does injustice to both VIM. A.
Quarles and Jas. E. Bailey Esq do not charge
that "0bserver' has Intentionally done injustice to
either of the gentlemen, bat he has certainly mis-
apprchended the language and the position Of the
speakers on that occasion. e
LIST. Col. Quarles never charged Mr.. Bell as being
Jrec-soa candidate, but expressly said that he did
or disunionist. Col Quarles has too much repu-
tation to loose to make any such charge-he leaves
that to be made by his whangdoodle yelpers The
Col. made a very fair speech, though not equal to
dozen efforts in which have heard him. The
Col. suffered himself in his rejoinder, to be en-
trapped into an admission that places his platform
and party in quite an awkward position; he said
''we do not now demand of Congress any protec-
ton for slavery in the territories but simply desire
to present the question before the people that they
may fully understand it, and that we will await
until time shall arise that demands congressional
protection before we ask for it." In a word, he
Endorsed the position assumed by Mr. Breckenridge,
in his Frankfort speech of December last But
such ia not the meaning Of his platform or the Ian
guage Of the leaders of his party. (which King
Bezonian" will you take-Quarles or the plat
form?
We pass over all that araw-head and bloody
bones" part of Observers article that refers to
Mr.. Bailey as the emanation of an exceedingly
ghostly Imagination, and come down to that part of
his article where he mistakes Mr.. Baileys position
Mr.. Bailey never placed Mr.. Bell on the Douglass
platform; neither did he say that the Kansas and
Nebraska bill, as interpreted by Judge Douglass
was right nor did he reproach the democracy for
standing on their PLATFORM but he did say thai
their was no necessity at present for protection
and did reproach the democracy of Tennessee fol
seeding at Charleston and Baltimore at Yancey's
dctation. Mr.. Bailey, whilst admitting the right
of the south to have protection, argued that al
present it was but an abstraction; there was now
territories to apply 1t te the question being prac
tically settled in every territory of the United
States. He further argued that soil, climate, and
production would effectually settle the question
for said he where slavery is profitable there it viii
exist, under our constitution
| Upon this subject, Mr. Bailey's speech was elo
quent and powerfully argumentstive. Observer
further adds, that the democracy were finely plsased
| know that the Union men were perfectly satisfied
with the results of the discussion. My only objec
in writing this is to correct the misapprehension'
of Observer, and to do justice to both Col. Quarle
and Jas. E. Bailey, Esq.

Yes, Lady, not only from thy Boquet bright,

They utter only this triumphant creed:

From Hemlock that above Montpelier towers
Where MontcellOs statesman dreams no more

Where broad Mssouri's troubled waters roll,
Fast by her stormy statesmans tomb and home,
The forests out like bells their warning toll,
And Maines tall Pines shriek DER Atlantic's foam

It rustles in the juicy Canes long bades

MORNINGON THE HILL.

BELLAi sweet dreamer 10 the moring gray,
flushed is thy voice, and calm is thy repose
Wouldst thou were here at the opening day.
AS once thou vert at the evenings close.
But, am alone; yet, sweet thoughts of thee
Flash through my brain and my spirit seems
To smile on the hill, and then on the lea,
Yelled like goddess in the morning beams.
BELLA sweet sleeper in the rosy morn
Awake be joyousi the light is streaming
From the holy East--a day is new born;
The sun the hilltop soon will be beaming.
In the deep valley floats the morning mist
High DER the brook and mantling the trees;
And some by the mountain top is kissed
As it gdcs away the wings of the breeze.
Aurora is coming in her golden car;
With rosy-tipped fingers the gates are pressed,
On her brow is beaming radiant star,
And her steeds fly on toward the shady West.
Night hath grown old, and with hood on her. head
And her mantle of stars all dim and pale;
Retires, as the light of the morn is spread
Like a sea of gold, on the hin and vale
The music of the birds falls on my ear;
And the brook sends up song of praise:
And merry notes from the milkmaid, / hear
Near the cot now wrapped in the morning haze
The owl hath gone back to the hollow tree;
The timid hare moves softly from his bower;
And passing by is the honey bee,
Gathering sweets from the dewy flower.
The hunters dog is barking on the hill:
And the cock hath been heard since break Of day
But the night birds voice is hushed and still,
For he sleeps in the wood far, far away.
One by one hath the stars gone to rest
Withdrawn their light from the spleudor of morn
And Dian is sinking fast toward the West
Her face all changed--looking pale and forlorn.
All this is morning, the golden beams
OF the sunlight rest on the far off hills:
Soon they will brighten thesmooth flowing streams
And kiss the wavelets of the babbling rills
All morning cometh with a smile on her lips; a
! And on her cheek is q blush of the rose
Her mantle is blue, and golden light tips
The edges like the clouds at evenings close.

l look down the valley: the sunbeams there,
For the morn had parted with hooded night
And he dropped a tear through the silent air,
As he wandered slowly away from her sight.
The shady DELL and the fowery lea,
And the mountain cot appear again;
For the mists are gone toward the wavy sea,
And night hath gone to the Western main.
The sun hath assembled far in the sky;
Illuming the lea, the valley and dell
All nature is bright meath his beaning eye
And now, sweet "morning on the hill" farewell
