Political Prospects.

We give below an article from the New
York Nation, Radical which, it will be seen,
admit. that the Democrats will carry New
York by majority Of from seven TO fifteen
thousand votes. ltsays:
The losses which the Republican party has
sustained in every election that has occurred
during this year, amounting to positive defeats
in Connecticut, California and Pennsylvania,
and a loss equivalent 10 a defeat in Ohio, make
il necessary to survey the whole field, and con-
slider dispassionstely what political course the
country is likely TO take what probability there
is of the restoration of the Domacrats 20 power,
and what effect such an event may have upon
the country.
The actual losses Of the Republicans are a
Governor in each Of the States Of Connecticut
and California, seven members Of the House of
Representatives, and two United States Sena-
tors. The diminution Of the Republican ma
jonty in the States which have thus far voted,
as compared with last years is, in round num-
bers, 1O7 900, viz: $1,000 in Maine 500 in
New Hampshire, 200 in Vermont, 1000 in
Rhode Island, 1,500 in Connecticut, 5000 in
Pennsylvania, 10000 in Ohio, 10000 in Iowa,
and $1,000 in California. There is every rea-
son to suppose that the States which bold cleo
tions in November will increase this figure TO
zoo, 600, or about one-b;lf Of the entire Repub-
lean majority in the Northern States.
The result Of the election in New York may
easily be foreseen The Democrotic majorities
in New York and Brooklyn will be reduced
nearly 10000 by the light vote; but the Re-
publican maiorities in the interior amounting
last year to 10000 will be reduced By 10000
or 10000. In each Of the counties Of Albany,
Rensselaer,, and St. Lawrence there viii be a
Republican loss Of some 1000 votes; in each
Of dozen strong Republican counties, such as
Allegauy, Cuyuga, Chautauqus, Onondaga,
ETC.. there will be loss Of 200 votes or more,
and smaller loss in almost every other county.
This leaves the Democratic ticket q majorityin
the State Of from 1000 to $1,000, which, IN
less some unexpected change occurs before tho
election, it is tolerably certain 70 have.

POETICAL.
The True Alchemy.

Life and death go conquerOrs crowned
Sin and sorrow set their seal
In a vast revolving round
Time whirls all things with his wheel.
Seasons perish, years are born
Woman's heart sings softly on
Ever beating mystic time,
In q sweet and silyery chime
Which knows never stop nor rest,
These four words-"IIe loves me best"
Summer scatters buds and flowers
Autumn garners golden graip-
Fast the fairy-foOted hours
Circle in a mystic chain
What though cares like snow-fakes fall?
One bright beam dissolves them all
And if sorrows come they seem
Fleet as phantOms in a dream.
Hope herself replumes her crest
BY repeating Love NE BEST"
What rarely subtle thing
Is the power, which thus can change
Even sorrows sharpest sting
Into raptures rich and strange
This the long-thought stone Of old
Whose bright touch turns all things gold.
Scintillations from above
Truly perfect human Lowell
Filling life with heavenly rest
With its magic "LOvE NE BEST"
Land We Lore.

A MOVEMENT SoUTHwARD.-The Hagers-
town NqH says, fos several days past there
have been a great many arrivals in HagerstoWn
Of Lancaster and York County farmers, on
their way up the Valley Of Virginia, in the
search for farms. They are all Of that sub
stantial, industrious and intelligent class Of az
riculturists who have made the eastern counties
Of Pennsylvania a garden spot, and many Of
them are accompanied By their wives, whose
Judgment in the selection Of farm they very
Justly place high estimate upon. The great
proportion have arrived in the cars Of the G. V.
Railroad, but on Friday last, a large wagon,
expressly fitted up FOX the occasion, and drawn
BY SIX splendid gray horses, passed through
town with about score Of purchasers aud
their wives aboard Yirginians will be bene-
fitted by the introduction Of this population.

Never Look Sad.

y O4 HOOA DtI4s
Never look sad-nothing's so bad
As getting so familiar with sorrow;
Treat him today in a cavalier way,
And he'll seek other quarters tomorrow.
Long you'd not weep, would you but peep
At the bright side Of every trial;
Fortune, You'll find, is ever most kind
When chilling your hopes with denial.
Let the sad day carry away
Its own little burden of sorrow,
Or you may miss half Of the bliss
That comes in the lap OF to-morroT.
When hope is wrecked, pause and reflect
If error occasioned your sadness;
Ifit be so, hereafter you'll know
How 10 steer 70 the harbor of gladness.

COUNTERPART TO THE TRENT CASE.
The forcible removal of Santa Anna
by the Mexican Liberals from an
American vessel, will, it is thought,
demand the interference of the United
States for q suitable apology, and for
his liberation. In the Trent case,
this Government did not hesitate to
comply with the request of the Bri-
tlsh Government for the delivery of
Mason and Slidell, and it is supposed
that it will expect from others the
same respect to international obliga-
tions. Unless the Liberals have
already executed Santa Anna, or shall
do so before the demand can be mado,
they will have to restore him his
liberty, ut the risk of his landing
again under more auspicious circnm-
stances, and returning the little COM
pliment he has just received.

STILL NEARER DRAWS THE TIME.
The Maine Democratic State Con-
vention
ReSolrel, That the United States
bonds ought to be taxed; that the
exemption from taxation oi about one
third part of the entire wealth of the
country in the shape of Government
securities, is an outrage upon the
rights of the people; that it is in vio-
lation of every principle of Justice;
and hostile to the welfare of the
country; that it is subversive of the
very foundation principles of our
Government as established by our
fathers; it tends to foster and protect
the rich capitalists and bond-holders
at the expense of the laboring class,
casting the heavy burden of taxation
from the favored and protected few
upon the back of the unprotected
poor man, whose life and strength
are being constantly exhaused to pay
the deficit in taxes resulting from
this injustice.

"But if, ms an Independent and self

friend left among the civilized ma

The very name of Mexico must be
obliterated from the roll of nations,
and its Indians, like the Camanches
