Henry Winter pavis and the Mary
land Legislature.

We find in the Baltimore papers of the
22d, the following report of Mr.. II. w
Davis sharp reply to the resolutions OF
the Maryland Legislature censuring him
for voting for Mr.. Pennington. 1t was
delivered in the "Oommittee of the
Whole" of the House of Representatives
last Tuesday. Our readers will remem-
her that the Geographic dispatches sent us
by the Associated Press Agent, on the
2lst, contained no mention of Mr.. Davis
speech. much less any abstract Of it. Yet
he inflicted on ms several dre6ry "stick-
fuls" Of Mr.. L. Q. C.. Lamar's platitud-
inOus defence of Southern adhesion to
slavery. Such an omission as this seems
to have been intentional
Mr.. Davis, of Maryland, announced his
purpose to acknowledged the compli-
ment paid to him by the Legislature OF
his State. 1t had been long since the
present dominant party had a majority
IN both branches Of the Legislature, but ii
had conducted itself in SO remarkable a
manner, that probably long time would
elapse before this accident would be
repeated. If one might Judge from
the force and conduct of that party, the
gentlemen who composed it are, perhaps,
more surprised at their present power
than their opponents, over whom they
triumphsd. He compared that party TO
the clown, who, walking in the noble.

he was asleep or had slept, saying: 81

WE WATCHED HER BREATHING
BY THOMAS HOOD.

"She sleeps;
Her smile has passed away,
As dies the ripple on the sea-"
We watched her breathing through the night,
Her breathing soft and low,
As on her breast the wave ofIife
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed TO Epesk, ~
So slowly moved about,
As ifwed lent her hslfour powers
To exc her being out
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied;
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came dim aud sad,
Aad chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelids closed-she had
Another morn than ours.

LINCOLN AMONG THE CHILDERN.-Thc follow

cises, and his continuance manifested such gen
ulne interest, that approached HIM and sugges-
ted that he might be willing to say some
thing to the Children. He accepted tho invita-
ton with evident pleasure, and coming forward
began simple address, which at once fascina
ted every little hearer, and hushed the room into
silence. His language was strickingly beautiful,
and his tones musical with intense feeling.
The little Eases around would droop into sad con-
viction as he uttered sentences of warning. and
would brighten into sunshine as he spoke chear-
full words of promes, Once or twice he attempt
ed to close his remarks, but the imperative
shout of Go on = Oh, do 90 on - would COM

and sinewy frame of the stranger, and marked

The st. Louis Democrat of the LIST inst.
speaks as following of the sudden cessation Of
the disunion cry at the South upon the nomin-
alton of Lincoln:
" The effect of Lincon's nomination at the
South is little less than miraculous. 1t seems
to have tranquillsed all the angry elements in
that quarter, the Democratic party alone excep-
ted. The millennium contingent on the estab-
lishmen of the Southern confederacy, which
was itself to de contingent on the election of a
Republican to the Presidency, is evidently post
ponded. The note of proportion for the mar
shalng of armed hosts to dissolve the Union
in the event at Republican victory in Novem-
Der, is heard no more throughout the land.
The most desperate secessionist threatens no re-
volt, and advises no reasonable action. Wheth.
or all this is be ascribed to the admitted CONVEX
sation of Lincoln's character and opinions is
perhaps doubtful. We are ofopinon that the
thinking men of the South are, in reality, more
favorable to his election than to that Of Doug

the practice of using domestic wines for sacra-

of the Church in every way calculated to put
down the great vice of intemperance.

A FREEMAN SOLD INTO SLAVERY Some six
months since james Waggoner, a young colored
man, was kidnapped at Cincinnati, taken to
Newport, Ky, and lodged in jail On Monday
last he was sold to pay Jail fees, his purchaser
being Dr. j. O. A. Foster of Newport, at 500.
Previous to the sale, however, Waggoner was
brought before the Mayor Of Newport on writ
of habeas corpus 1t was fully proved that he
was born in Ohio, of free parents his father
having been emancipatcd by his owner in Vir-
ginia, in 1928. For the defense two unknown
persons, who said they belonged in Virginia,
testified that they knew Peter Waggonor, the
former owner of the father of james, and that
he had been set free by that person swIl in 1923,
but that this will was annulled in 1858. No
record of the fact was produced in court, and
on such himsy testimony as this James was ad-
Judged to be a slave, and was sold on the block.
