After all the vaunting and iusSlng ahOut tleiT
strength and the popularity OF their Candidate
the friends of Mr.. Douglas make a very poor
show in this rump of II convention ut Charleston.
Though every FREUD and supporter OF Douglas
was present in the Convention and his opponents
only had seeded, including the delegates OF e'ght
certain Democratic States, his highest vote has
only reached lj04, which is just fifty. one and a
half less than the vote required to elect the can
didate His opponents, even with this large Sc
ccSson, voted los against him. This is certainly
u great letting down from the high pretentions OF
the turbulent and camorous party which so per
yersely and recklessly presses tho nomination OF
a man whose only strength lies in States where
the Democracy are in Il hopeless minority.
The chief supporters of Mr.. Douglas, his cham
Mons. come from the Northwest, and especially
from Ohio, which assumes to be the lille leader ol
the North western Democracy. MIR. Payne, whO
reported the Douglas platform, the most decep
tive and hunlbugging OF all the propositions yet
presented, which refers to the Supreme Court the

tional right, is IRON Cleveland, the very center
of Black Repubicanism. Mr. PuGh, the abe
champion of the same party, has just been over
gentlemen are just from State contest IN Whien
they actively participated, and wherein they had

This is the error of such journals as the Bee
and the Mobile Register. The very reverse Il

The CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY. The straight
out States rights constitutional Democratic
movement at Charleston seems to meet with
hearty and enthusiastic support. Everybody
halls it as the dawn of a new era-as the over
throw of the mercenary ciques of spoilsmen in
the North who have used the Democratic party
merely as machine for public plunder. Let
Douglas, and Forney, and Dean Richmond, and
Mr.. Peter Cagger, and the New York Central
Railroad, and August Belmont, and Dick Con-
molly, and John Clay and oil the political job
bers with their semi-Black Republican followers
try to elect as Democratic Q) President, Mr.
Stephen Arnold Douglas, who, it is said has
also been offered the regular Black Republican
nomination. We hope they will have good
time OF it.

"Pandora, according to Hesoid, was the frs
mortal female that ever lived. The Gods vied
in making her presents, and Jupiter gave he1
a box filled with innumerable evils, which she
was desired to give to the man that mar
ried her. Eprimetheus, the brother Of Prone
theus fell a victim to the charms of Pandora
and accepted the box, which he opened, anc
let forth upon the werld all the ills and dis
eases which have since afflicted The human
race. Hope, alone, remained at the bottom Of
the box to console mankind"
O Hope! bright star that guides the Heart
Der Life's tempestuous, troubled sea,
How many fainting soul would droop
And wither, were it not for thee!
> How cheering to the friendless, thou,
Who're seeking aims from door to door,
To have hope that days may yet
Come, like the happy days of yore.
The homeless wanderer; worn and tired,
Dreams of the wealth that meets his eyes
Looks up and smiles-by Hope inspired,
And nerves his arm to grasp the prize.
He yesterday so poor, was scorned:
But something buoyed his fainting soul.
To-day he is hohored-his prize is won
Twas Hope that led him to the goal.
AS when the sky with gloom oercast
By dark and rolling, threatening clouds
And angry storms seem gathering fast,
And, in their gloom, the earth enshrouds
The way-worn traveller looks in vainj
Some sheltering spot, securej to fndj
To shield him from the impending rainj
And limbs hurled by the violent wind.
But see! with joy he halls the light
Lo, in the west the sun appears!
The clouds disperse-soon all is bright
The traveller now no longer fears.
Thus, when the soul is shadowed DER
With the dark clouds of stern despair,
The sun of Hope can pierce the gloom,
And shed wild rays Of pleasure there.
When all the world is dark and drear,
And life affords no charms at best:
And when the heart is filled with care,
And the tired spirit fain would rest
There's naught but Hope that can restrain
The fainting soul, and bid it rise
Above this world of toll and pain,
And learn of joys beyond the skies.
There's naught but Hope that can inspire
The wearied spirit to contend
Against the many ills of life,
And on the joys of Heaven depend:
And, when our sunny hopes on earth
Have vanished like life's visions, riven,
There's nothing left to cheer the soul,
But hopes of peaceful rest in heaven.

Don't forget it, DEAR" said Aunt
Rachel, as she held the hand of her
niece, in parting, at the close OF her
visit
"Never!" was the earnest reply
"You have removed scales from my
eyes; and selfshness, self-will, and pas
sion, shall never blind me again. I will
try to govern myself always-before at
tempting to govern my child-try to
see what is for his good-try to stimu-
late the growth of loving affections,
rather than give all thought to the weeds,
in seeking to tear up which I have al
ready hurt so many tender plants" )"
"Ah, my child, that is the true way"
replied Aunt Rachel. If you can get
the life-forces of his young spirit to
flow vigorously into the good plants,
they will soon spring up into the sunny
air, spreading out their branches, and
striking their roots wide and deep into
the earth-leaving the evil plants to
droop and wither for lack of nourish-
ment."
