delicate blue and pink blossom's, which
grew to new and dearer beauty every

There were a great many winds,

all the day long, each one of which
was and more wonderful than
any that they had ever told befin.e.-:-
And there• Were thousands of birds—
birds that built their nests in all the

and, as they went flow i ed. into.
rhyme, so sweetthat uo human tongue
could mimic their' ; hilt, as near as one
might guess their meaning, it was this:
We; we are the Waters ;•and it is inir .

around the earth, and compass . it ;
,and .
we laugh as our Shining; rms embrace,

as it lauglniod, it rout the darn asunder,

But here; in ju:tice te•Conservative, •
should. say; that oWingio his being
partially - blind, as I 'said befbre, he
ucver more than half saw thelnuon,
and . probably never liallguessed that
any power above, his own heaped up

drive the weal - it up into the mountain

tbgeby developing infinite genius turd
perseverance, which, unfortunately for

together clay and 'stones . so
.strongly
'but that the wean) of time would at

for know, Conservative Is busy

So, - this is the story of Conservative
The Tylion thus explains its idea of
popular sovereignty:
, "Mr., Gillette said, and his echoei
say, that SeuatQr Toucey's refusal to
'obey , tbe.iiistruction.s - of,' his Le.gisla
ture shovi6'd'his contempt of the doe-'
trine of. =popular -sovereignty! This"
is . the first tithe , that - iwe - have ever
heard the instructions
.of a fanatical
Legisldture cited' as . popular sover
eignty'. The fact that' Abolition has
b.;eiren'abled - to triuMph in New Eng
land alone, by inducing the Whigs - to
surrender to .a reckless minority, and
that this expedient-ha.s:been resorted
to for years, shows the innate con
tempt which this coalition entertains
for the popular rule."
That ia to '64, When the Sham De
