The opponents of lliu Democratic Party :uui of i Irmucraiic policy (we .scarcely Ipnow at this moment liy what name lo chit them) have, for purposes connected with the approaching election made anoth er’ll those sadden of altitude which liuvfl .so often herololoru tarnished tJ 10 political character-ol their leaders, and dissatisfied live people. They have ran through their whole list of public, mcas urcs. — One after the other their principle's have been condcmnod hy tlie-public voice and abandoned bv \hrmsolycs. A Nalion- iil Dan It, about which they once threaten cd revolution, is on ‘obsolete idea.’ 'lhe Independent Treasury, winch thoy de nounced so fiercely, is no longer denied to be the safest and best mode of keeping and disbursing the public revenues. Their Bankrupt Luw is delivered over with their lull consent, to the infamy it deserves.— IWo hear no more from them about ex pungiug the veto pnwcf from the constitu tion. The lliundei* of alarm agaiust the annexation of Texas are silent. Ibeir execrations of tho Mexican war and tlie barren Slate of California, arc no longer heard.

Never before was so bold pjpd shameless nil eflbrt made to rouse ro . Jigious prejudices for political purposes. — {Sensible men of all parties, sects, nnd idasses, were deeply offended at ibis un blushing system of endeavoring to carry pq election by sectarian appeals. Still more humiliating than this, if pos sible, wus the flattery bestowed upon their adopted fellow-citizens. From the aged pnd distinguished soldier who wus their caodidatefor President, down to the most nbscure and inefficient of their speakers nnd writers, al| professed a becoming zeal for tho rights of foreigners. —According to their slatemenls mude then, all persons of . foreign birth had been or were about to be greatly misused by the Democracy—and lhay were urged, exhorted nnd warned to ir-ust nobody but their friends, tho Whigs. •;Eveii the'dinlect spoken by foreigners was referred to ns being superior to tho vernac alnr language .which the native born ciii .'aen used.

In,two days, twelve of fourteen deaths occurred. inhere were,np new cases on the 29ih ult, - ~'~ About two years ago, I took up my res idence for a few weeks in a country vil lage, in the eastern part of New England. Soon uftcr my arrival, 1 becomeacfpiain- / ted with n young Indy, apparently, abmrf seventeen years of ago. She hud lostftlie idol of her heart’s purest love, and the shadows of deep and holy memories were restin''like the wingofdcath upon her brow. 1 first met her in the presence of tho mirthful. She was, indeed a creature to Ibe admired ; her brow was garlanded by itho young year’s sweetest flowers, and" hep sunny tresses were hanging beautiful ly and low upon her bosom; and she mo ved through the crowd with such floating, 'unearthly grace, that the bewildered ga zer looked almost to see her fade away into the air, like the creation of a pleas ant dream. Sho seemed cheerful, and even gay-; yet I saw that her gaiety was but the mockery of her feelings. She smiled, but there Was something in her smile which told me that its mournful 'beauty was but the bright reflection of a | icar; and her eyelids at times passed hea vily down, as if struggling to suppress tho tide of agony that was bursting up from her heart’s secret urn. She looked as if i she could have left the sceno of festivity, and gone out beneath the qmel stars, and J [aid her forehead down upon the fresh 'green earth, and poured out her stricken ' soul, gush after gush, till it mingled with the eternal founluin of purity and life. I I have lately heurd that the young lady of whom I have spoken, is dead. The ■close of her lile was as calm as the falling lof a quiet stream; gentle as the sinking I I of the breeze, that lingers for a time round i u bed of withered roses, and then dies for very sweetness. It cannot be that eurth is man’s only abiding place. It cannot be that our life is n bubble, cast up by the ocean of eter nity to float'a moment upon its surface, and (lien sink into nothingness and dark ness forever, Else, why is it that the high and glorious aspirations that leap like nn oels from the temples of our hcnrls, are forever wandering abroad, unsatisfied ! Why is it that the raipbow and the cloud i come over us with ;
