Gans In her childish purity,
Out from the golden day;
Raeiug away IN the light 90 sweet,
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet,
Paving tia path for her waxen feet
I p ever the silent way.
Over her bosom tendsrly
The pearl white hands are prest;
The lAsheS lie on her cheeks 90 thin
Where the softeSt blush Of the rose has been,
Shutting the blue Of her eyes within,
The pure lids closed in rest.
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair;
She was 20 fragile that love sent down
From his heavenly gems, that soft bright crown,
TO shade her brow with its waves 60 brown
Light As the dimplng air.
GIVE to Slssp with tsndss smile
Frozs on her tender lip,
By The farewell hiss " her. dswy breath,
Cold in the clasp Of the angel Death, ~N
Like the last fair bud Of the fading wreath,
Whose bloom the white frUst nips.
Robin-hushed in your doWny bed,
Over the swinging Dough
Do you miss her voice from your glad duet,
When the dew in the heart Of the rose is set,
TN its velvet lips, with the essence wet,
In orient crimson glow?
Rosebud-under your shady leaf,
Hid from the sunny day
Do you miss the glance Of the eyes so bright.
Whose blue was Heaven In your timid sight?
1t Is beamiBg now in the world Of light
Over the starry way.
Hearts, where the darling's head hath lain,
Held BY loves shining ray
Do you know that the touch Of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land
Oh, che waits for us with the angel band
Over the starry way.

Democratic Co. Central Committee.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Resolved, That in the future, as in the past, we
will adhere with answering fidelity to the Union,
under the Constitution, as the only solid founda-
tion of our strength, security and happiness as q
equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity of
all the States, both Northern and Southern.
Resolved, That this Convention does explic
lilly declare, as the sense of the American people,
that after four years of failure to restore the
Union by the experiment of war, during which,
under the pretense of the military necessity Of a
war power, higher than the Constitution itself,
that instrument has been disregarded in every
part, and public liberty and private rights trodden
down, and the material prosperity of the country
essentially impaired, justice, humanity, and lber
ty, and the public welfare demand that imme date
efforts be made to bring about cessation of hos
tilities, with view of an ultimate Convention Of
the States, or other peaceable means to end it,
that at the earliest practicable moment peace may
be restored on the basis of the Federal Union Of
the States.
g. Resolved, The direct interference of the
military authorities of the United States in the
recent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
souri, and Delaware, was a shameful violation OF
the Constitution, and a repetition of such acts In
the approaching election will be held to be revolu-
tionary, and resisted'with all the means and pow
er under our control.
4. Resolved, That the aim and object Of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Mon
and the rights of the States unimpared, and they
hereby declare that they consider the Administra-
tions usurpation Of extraordinary and dangerous
powers, not granted by the Constitution the sub
version of the civil by military laws in States not
in resurrection; the arbitrary military arrest,
imprisonment, trial and sentence of American
citizens in States where civil law exists in full
force; the suppression Of freedom Of speech and
of the press the denial of the right Of asylum
the avowed disregard Of State rights the employ
ment of unusual test oaths, and interference with
ard denial Of the right of the people to bear arms,
as calculated to prevent the restoration of the
Union, and the perpetuation of a Government de-
irving its just powers from the consent of the
governed.
5. Resolved, That the shameful disregard by
the Administration Of its duty in respect to our
fellow citizens who are now and long have been
prisoners of war, and in suffering condition,
deserves the severest rcprobation, on the score
alike of public and common humanity.
G. Resolved, That the sympathy of the Demo-
cratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to
the soldiers of our army, who now are an have
been in the field, under TIE flag of their country,
and in the event of our attaining power, they will
receive all the care, protection and regard that
brave soldiers of the Republic, they have SO
bly, earned.

HINTS TO EDIToRs-MoDELs FOR News.
PAPER CoNTRovERsY.-Nothing is more
readable than a newspaper row if con-
Quoted with eminent vituperative genius
on both Sides Country editors, in par
ticular, ought to cultivate the crushing,
slangwhanging style, as the true path to
wealth and fame. In large cities it is
not so sure a card, and becomes less and
less so, with the march of intelligence,
refinement and good taste. We furnish
the following, as models for the study of
those who aspire to eminencc in this de-
partment of literature:
A Low FLUNG BLACKGUARD. Tho lite
rary scullion who does the dirty work on
the Clarion of Freedom, intimates in his
yesterdays issue, that we are addicted to
whisky. In making this statement, the
slangwhanging slumgullon lies in his
teeth-or rather in his gums, most of his
teeth having been Knocked down his
throat some months since, by gentle
man whom he accused of horse-stealing.
One thing is certain: we never got drunk
at the expense of the scavenger and
nightman Of the Clarion nor do we owe
a whisky bill at every rum mill in town.
Can the dung thrower of the Clarion say
as much p Middleton Independent.
A MEPHTTIC PAcHYDERM.-Y Yesterday
afternoon, accompanied by friend, and
provided with serviceable cowhide and
a powerful disnfectant, we entered the
odorous and dingy hole where the leprous
scavenger Of the Independent manufac.
lures literature" by clothing the ideas Of
a demirep in the language of rag-pick-
er, and manures his adversarics by plas
tering them with his own brains. The
dirty ruffian, with the physiognomy Of q
hangman and the manners of hog .dri-
yer, who calls himself "editor" of the
sheet, was not in. We have since learn
ed that, having got wind of our intended
visit, he was at the time concealed in the
dust bin. Owing to our thoughtful pre-
caution in taking with US bottle OF
hartshorn and some chloride of lime, We
escaped from the editorial sty without
contracting any infectious disease. [Cla.
rionSof Freedom.
AN EDITORIAL (NoT CHINEsE) SrINKPoT.
The tissue of lies in yesterdays Clarion
will deceive no one who knows anything
of their author. We do not propose to
put ourself upon level with the Shiny
exuder of such excremental filth, by en-
tering into duel of blackguardism with
him. We should be beaten at such an
encounter, even had we studied scurrility
as science, and practiccd it as an art
half lifetime. Our opponent enjoys the
advantage of natural qualifications, and,
having been born BLACKBOARD, excels,
without effort, in his vocation. The OBJ,
scure creature never had the audacity to
enter the editorial rooms of the Indepen-
dent, and the only occasion upon which
we ever set foot in the hole which lie
calls his "sanctum," was when we accom-
panied police officer with a search war
rant to recover a watch which the editor
was suspected of having stolen. Our
stay on that occasion was of the briefest,
we being so overcome by the stencil Of
the place, mingled with the "fcet-id" odor
that seemed to emanate from the editorial
understanding" that we were obliged to
beat a precipitate retreat Middleton
