llrlght on the sparkling sward this day
'I ho youthful summer gleams i
The tines In tho south wind play.
Thu sliimtperuiH woodland dreams.
In golden light, 'neath clouds of llcece,
Mid bird-songs wild nnd free,
Tlio blue Potomac Hows In pence. '
Down lo the pi netful bea.
No echo from Um stormy past
Aim ms I he placid vale,
Nor cannon roar, nor trumpet blast,
Nor shattered soldier wall.
There's nothing left to mark tho strife,
Thu tiliimph or tho pain,
Where. Nature to her general life
Takes back our lives ngaln.
Yet In your vision evermore,
llencath nff 1 Ighled skies,
With crash ot sound, with reek of gore,
Thu martial pageants Use.
Audacious banners rcna the air,
Dark steeds ot battle neigh,
And, frantic through the sulphurous glare,
Haves on the crimson fray.
Not lime nor chance nor chango can drown
Your memories proud nnd high,
Nor pluck jour star of gieatness down
l'rom glory's deathless sky.
l'oi evermore jour Lime shall bide
Your valor tiled nnd true I
And that which makes your country's prldo
Hay well bo pride to j ou.
Forever through the soldier's thought
The soldier's life returns
or where the trampled fields are fought,
or where the camp lire burns,
l'or him thu pomp of mourning brings
A thrill nnnu else can know,
l'or htm Night waves her sable w Ings
o'er many a nameless woe.
How often face to faco with death,
In stern suspense ho stood,
While bird nnd Insect held their bieath
Within tlio umbuhed wood.
Again he sees the silent hills,
Willi dangers menace grim,
And d.ukly nil the shuddering 1 Ills
Iluu led with blood lor him.
l'or him the ci ncl sun of noon
Olaies on a bilsllng plain,
l'or him the cold illnlalnlul mo.n
IhLs meadows louglnvllh slain.
There s death lu every sight he sees,
In every sound he hears,
And sunset hush and evening brcczo
Ale sad wllh pilsoncd tears.
Again worn out In midnight march,
He stnks beside the track ;
Again beneath the pit j dig aicli
His dreams of home eouio back ;
In morning winds tho roses shako
Around hlw cottage door,
And little feet of children make
'1 heir music on the lloor.
The tones that nevermore ou earth
Can bid his pulses leap
Illng out ngaln lu cau less mirth
Across the vales of bleep ;
And where In horrent splcnuor roll
Tho w aves of v Ict'ry's tide,
The cherished comrades of hts soul
Are glorious at his side.
Forget I the arm may lose Its might,
The tired heart beat low,
The sun from Heuaen blot out his light,
The west wind cease lo blow,
Hut vv idle one spark of life Is warm
Within tbts mould of clay,
Ills soul shall revel In tho storm
Of that ticinendcus day.
on mountain slope, In lonely glen,
lly Fate's supreme command,
The blood of those devoted men
Has sanctlilcd this land.
The funeral moss but not In grief
Waves o'er their hallowed rest.
Hid r.ot in grief the laurel leaf
Drops 011 the hero's breast.
Tears for Iho living, whrn (lod's gift
'1 he f 1 lend ot man to be
Wastes, like the shutli red spars that dilft
Upon the unknow 11 feu I
Tears for the wreck who sinks at last,
No deed of valor done ;
Hut no tears for the soul that past
When honor's light vv as w on.
Ho tiies tho hand ot Ilenvrnly l'nle
Who lives and dies for truth!
For him the holy angels wait
In realms of endless jouihl
1 he Era. upon his gi nv e Is green
Willi evei lasting bloom;
And lovo and blessings make the sheen
Ot glory 'iound his tomb.
Mourn not for them, the loved and gone;
The cause he died 10 save
Plants an eternal corner-stone
L'ijou tho mnrtj r's gi ave ;
And, safo from nil tho Ills we pass,
Their sleep Is sweet nnd low,
'Neath requiems of the murmuring grass
And dirges of the tnow.
That sunset wafts Us holjest kiss
'1 hrough ev enlngs guluerlng shades,
That beauty breaks the heart wllh bliss
The hour beforo It fades,
That music seems to merge w ith heaven
Just when lis echo dies,
Is nature's sailed promise given
Ot life bej ond the skies.
Mourn not I In life and death they teach
This thought tuts truth sublime :
There's no man free except he reach
Pej ond tho ergo ot time 1
Fo, beckoning up Iho slurry slope,
'1 hey bid our souls to live,
And, flooding all tho vv orld wllh hope,
Have taught us to forgive.
No soldier spurns a fallen foe I
No halo ef human kind
Can daiken down the generous glow
'I hut tires the patriot mind I
Hut lovo shall make llio vanquished strong
And mercy lift their ban,
Where right no inoro can bend to wrong,
.Nor man bo blavo to man.

Where now the violet blossom meek
And all the Holds are green,
There w ood and blreain and liovver and bud
A puro content declare,

Once more In perfect love, O Lord,
Our aliened heuits unite I
And clasp across the biuken sword
The hands that used to smite I
And since beside Potomac's wavo
There's nothing left but peace,

And let thu sorrow cease I

locitriiies, it is most gratifying to lind the
old Democratic organization steadily and
consistently opposing itself to tho-e innova
tioiis, nnil us one man urging a return to the
faith mid practice of the Fathers of the lie
public, and asking the people, in view of its
past hi'tory, to intrust it once more with
position and power. In view of its picsent
Maudlin; before the country, and as a pre
line to an abstract of its pioceedings in tho
coming national convention, wo propose to
givo ashort sketcli of nil previous Demo
cratic National conventions. Of course, in
iiti article like the present, it is impossible
to give more than tho most meagre statement
of the action of the several bodies, without
entering at all into the resolutions adopted.
Nominations lor President of the United
States vvero originally made by tho Demo
cratic members of Congrc.-s, assembled in
caucus. Up to, and including that for 1824,
such had been tho uniform practice. Tho
Democratic Caucus candidate of that year
was William II. Crawford, who was beaten
by John Quincy Admin. The caucus sys.
tern grew out of favor after this defeat, that
being one nf the prevailing causes of the
opposition to it j and Mr. Crawford was the
last Democratic candidate nominated Qby
Congressional caucus.
General Jackson had been a candidate in
1821, and his friends hud determined to
bring him forward again as a candidate at
the next election. Accordingly, in 1823,
without waiting for or desiring any action
on the pint ol the members of Congress,
the people, in State conventions 11 ml mass
meet ings nominated Andrew Jackson for
President, and John C. Calhoun was sup
ported (or and elected Vice President.
It being understood that General Jackson
would bo a candidate fur re-election in 1SII2,
it became necessary ' fur the Democratic
friends of his administration to unite on a
candidate for Vice President to succeed Mr.
Calhouii,vho had quarrelled wit 1a President
Jackson, and had also, in eonsenuenco of
his course, fallen out of favor with the De-
inocracy. The plan of a National Conven.
lion was hit upon, and the proposition was
started in New Hampshire by the Demo
cratic ineiubei's of the Legislature of that
State
It was responded to in nearly al! of the
States, and the firet Democratic. National
Convention for tlio nomination of President
and Vice-President, was held at lialtiniore
on MoiiJuy, May twenty-first, 1S32. It vviis
a complete success, ni d was attended by an
immense number cf people from all parts of
the United States.
Mr. Sumner, of New Hampshire, called
the Convention to order, and stated the ob
ject of the cull.whieh originated in his State.
Ueneral ltobert Lucas, of Ohio, was chosen
President of tlio Convention. Four Vice
Presidents and tiireo Secretaries were also
appointed. The Committee to preparo rules
proposed thn celebrated two-thirds rule,
which originated with Mr. Saunders, of
North Carolina, and has since been adopted
