The Land of Dreams.
BIZ VIC. BRYANT.

4 mighty realm Is the Land Of Dreams,
With sleeps that hang IN The twilight SKY,
And weltering oceans and trailing streams,
That CLEAN where the dusky valleys lie.
But over its shadowy border flow
Sweet rays from the world OF endless morn,
And the nearer mountains catch the glow,
And flowers in the nearer fields are born.
The soulS Of the happy dead repair,
From their bowers OF light to that b9rd' ring land
And walk in the fainter glory there,
With the souls Of the living hand in hand.
One calm sweet smile. in that shadowy sphere
From eyes that open on earth no more
One warning word from voice once dear
How they rise in the memory o'er and Ger!
Far of from those hills that shine with day.
And fields that bloom in the heavenly gales,
The Land Of Dreams goes stretching away
To DINNER mountains and darker wales.
There lie in the chambers of guilty delight,
There walk the Spectres of guilty fear,
And soft low voices, that float through the night,
Are whispering sin in the helpless ear.
Dear maid in thy girlhoods opening flower.
Scarce weaaed from the love Of childish play
The tears on whose cheeks are but the shower
That freshens the early blooms OF May
Thine eyes are closed. and over thy brow
Pass thoughtful shadows and joyous CLEANS,
And know, by thy moving lips, that now
Thy spirit strays in the Land of Dreams.
Light hearted maiden. oh, heed thy feet
keep where the beams of Paradise falls,
And only wander where thou mayst meet
The blessed ones from its shining walls.
So shalt thou come from the Land of Dreams,
With love and peace to this world of strife;
And the light that over that border streams
Shall lie on the path of thy daily life.

SENATOR HESpERsox. of Missouri, speaking
in relation to the abolition of slavery in the
Border States, says:
Candor compels Union men of the Border
States to do justice to the President, aud even
10 his friends in Congress. This terrible reso-
luton was brought about by Mr.. Yaneey, and
his confederates, by infaming the Southern
mind against the dangers of abolition, which
they knew to be false They drove the South
to madness. to selfdestructIon and in the
letter of Messrs. Yancey, Rost, and Mann, to
Lord John Russell, they have erected mouu-
ment of infamy to these conspirators. They
say, what every sensible must uow admit, that:
1t was from no fear that the slaves would
be liberated that secession took place. The
very party in power has proposed to guarantee
slavery forever in the States. if the South wod
but remain in the Union. Mr.. Lincons mes
sag proposes no freedom to the slave, but an
nounces subsection of his owner to the will of
the Union-in other words 10 the viii OF the
North. Even after the battle of Bull Ran
both branches Of the Congress at Washington
passed resolutions that the war is only waged
in order to enforce that (proslavery) Constitu-
ton, and to uphold the laws; (many Of them

DuTY OF THE DENocRACY.-The New York
Leader, speaking of the present attitude of
parties and of the duty of the Democracy, says;
There are just two things to be done in
this year of our Lord, 1862 One Is, to restore
the Union as it was; aud this our national
soldiers are doing nobly at the peril of their
lives. The other is to maintain the Coustitu-
ton as it is; and to this end every national
man should labor increasingly, whatever may
have been his past associations.
The Demoercy must do their share of this
noble work indeed, upon them its success
mainly depends. They are TO say whether or
not there shall be union Of all national men
against the abolitionists. It is useless to talk
about what is to come afterwards. for, if we
do not save the Union and the Constitution,
what comes afterwards is of very little conse-
quence Let our motto be Union for the
sake OF the Union
MONTGOMERY ashngton letter
writers state that after the publication of his
letter to Fremont, Postmaster General Blair
resigned bis place in the Cabinet, but that
Lincoln generously forgave his pusillanimity.
1t was a courtesy be did not deserve. Blair
is constitutioaally a very petty demagogue,
who considers that his duty consists principally
in securing pottage for bis family and political
friends The conception Of noble idea would
undoubtedly burst his cranium asunder.
