D6- We are astonished to read In the re-
ports the declaration of Mr.. Cowan, that the
resolutions were unanimously concurred In
by the committee, and that both resolutions
and address were unanimously adopted BY
the convention. We protest in the name OF
our people that they be considered no parties
10 that unanimous vote. We will indeed
unanimously cooperate in the great leading
objects Of the Convention, the restoration
and vindication of the Constitution, but Il
was not kind unnecessarily TO ask, anc inn
possible for US 70 give our assent 10 declara-
tions which violate our convictions and

The question as 70 the right Of Staie to Sc
cede from the Union having been settled by
"the logic Of events" a. is now enunciated
as a fundamental principle by the late Ma
tional Union Convention at Philadelphia, ]
am reminded that old Massachusetts my ma

event Of the annexation Of Texas and actu-
ally did pass some kind of IN ordinances 10
that cifcct which she has rsver repealed
Now, inasmuch as these Southern Statfs
which passed similar ordinances have repealed
the same, ought not Massachusetts 10 do like

occasionally, but believing In the doctrine
that mo State or combination Of States have
the right to withdraw from the Union, or 30

otherwise, any other State or States from tho

is perpetual" ! cannot without doing vio.

WIND AND STREAM.

A brook came stealing from the ground;
You scarcely saw the silsery CLEAN
Among the herbs that hang around
The borders of that winding stream
A pretty stream, placid stream,
A softly gliding, bashful stream.
A breeze came wandering from the sky,
Light as the whispers of a dream;
He put the o'ernanging grasses by,
And gaily stopped to kiss the stream
The pretty stream, the fattered stream,
The shy, yet unreluctant stream.
The water, as the wind passed Ger,
Shot upward many glancing beam,
Dimpled and quivered more and more,
And tripped along livelier stream
The f1attered stream, the simpering stream,
The fond, delighted, silly stream.
Away the airy wanderer flew,
To where the fields with blossoms teen,
To sparkling streams and rivers blue,
And left alone that little stream
The fattered stream, the cheated stream,
The sad, forsakcn, lonely stream.
That careless wind no more came back,
He wanders yet the field, 1 deem:
But on its melancholy track
Complaining went that little stream
The cheated stream, the hopeless stream
The ever-murmuring, moaning stream.
