PoLtTicAL Norrs. The State election
took place in Kentucky on Monday, The
Democrats have probably carried the State
by 30, 900 or 35, 600, notwithstanding the
immense negro Republican vote. The
Legislature is largely Democratic Lieut..
Gov. J. G Carlisle, took high ground
against the "new departure" and uttered
the most sca,hing denunciations Of it in
his campaign speeches.
An election was held in North Carolina
last week, in which the question was sub
mitted to the people Of calling conven-
ton TO amend the State constitution. The
convention is said to have been defeated
by mengre majority. Let them press it
again and again. until the work is accom-
plished.
The Nc9 York San has an article in
which 1t holds that the address sent forth
soino months ago hy ths democrats mem.

Mr.. vallandigham at later day. Thi'
is an error. II our recollection Of that doc
ament is no, much at fault. md places Mr.
Dayard in wrong light. We canno, au
,horita,ively speak for hin, as to his posi-

Tears that tricklc down our cycs.
They DO not iall % earth and drvi
They soar like angels 90 The skis,
And. Ike angels, cannot die.
For Ga our Immortality
Sounds through each ycar-souuc- in each sigh
What waves Of tears surge DER the deep
Of SORROWS IN our restless souls
And they are sirOug, net weak, Who weep
Those drops, from out the sea That rolls
Within their hearts forever more;
Within a dcVth-With0ut shore.
But ali. the tears that are not wept-
The tears hat never outward fall
The tears that grief for years has Kept
Within us-they are best 90 all
The tears our ewes shall never know
Are deeper than the tears that Row.
Each night, upon earth's flowers below,
The dew comes down from darkest skies;
Ard every night our tears OF woe
Coup, Ike dews, o. Paradise;
To keep IN bloom and make more fair
The flowers OF crowns we yet shall wear.
For al the surest way 10 God
Is up the lonely stream of tears
That 0ow. when bending meath Ills rod,
AID 6n the tide Of our past years,
On laughter's pillows hearts are tossed
On waves Of tears no heart Is lost.
Flow on. We tears and bear me homei
Flow on, sc waves of deeper Voc!
Flow on, Sc tears, that are but foam,
OF deeper waves that viii not How
