I will give a few passages from Byron, which
will show the general_ehacacter of his writings.
The following picture, iron] Childe Harold, is of
an evening onthe Lake of. Geneva:—
.Clear placid Leman! thy contrasted lake, -
With the wide world Lilwell is Thing
Which warns me its:stillness to .forsake
Earth's,troubled waters for a 'priter:•Spri*
This - quiet sail is a noiieless wing .
To Waft me from distraction! Once I lov d.
4'orn ocean's roar • *but thy soft murmuring
Sounds sweet, as sister's voice repiired.
That I with stern delight should have e'er.: been so
otit is the bush of night; and all Vetween • ,
Thy margin and the mountains, dusk;.yet.clear,
Mellow'd and mingling, yet diatinctlY seer', _
Save'darken i dJura, whose rapt heights appear
Precipitously steep! and drawing near • •
- There breithes ti living fragrance•froin the shore,
Of flowers yet fresh. With childhood; on the ear
Drops the light dip'. of the suspended oar,
Or chirps the grasshopper one good night carol
"At intervals some bird from ont ttie brakes,
Starts into voice, amoment. then is still.
There seems a floating whisper on the bill;
But this is fancy !--4or the starlight dews .
All silently their tears of love instil,
Weeping themselves away, till they infuse -
Deep into nature's breast the spirit of her bue.s."
The above description is remarkably' fine; but
mark its contrast, in the same sublime region:—
" The sky is changedi and what a change! Oh
• night,.
And_storna and darkness, ye are wondrous strong!
Yet lovely' in yoOr strength, as is the light
Of a dark eye in woman! Far along,
From peak to peak, the rattling crags among
_Leaps the live thunder! Not from one lone cloud,
'But every mountain now bath found a tongue,
And .Tura answers through her misty shroud,
Back to the joyous Alps who call to her aloud!"
'There are passages in Afanfred of remarkable
beauty, but my time will not allow me to trans•
cribe them. Where that strange misanthrope ad
dresses the Witch of the Alps, as she rises under
the rainbow of the mountain torrent,
"Beautiful Spirit! with thy hair of light
And dazzling eyes of glory,"
is a splendid -specirnen of poetic composition.
Byron's Hebrew Melodieshave been very justly
admired by every lover of sweet plaintive poetry.
Herod's lament over his beautiful wife, who was
slain by his orders, in a fit of jealousy, shows the
fearfulness of despair—
. • ! , She's7gohe Who shared my diadem !
She sunk, with her my joys entombing;
sweet that flower from J udah's stem
Whose leaves for me alone were blOomingi,
And mine's the,guilt, and mine the hell,
This bosom's desolation dooming;
And I have earned these tortures well,
Which unconsurned are still consuming!"
The destruction of Sennacherib's army by a pes
tilence has met with tbe-adrniistion of every one,
judging froM the fact that it is to be found in al
most every school book, and about once a year it
goes the round of the newspapers. It is a fine
poem and worthy of all its honors.
Sennaoherib.
The Assyrian carriedown like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars in the
sea,
When the blue wave rolls lightly on deep Gallilee.
Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset wereseen;
Like the leaves of
_the forest when autumn hath
blown, •
That host on, the morrow lay wither'd and strown.
For the. angel of death spread his wings on the
blast, , • •
And breathed in the face of the foe as he pass'd,
And the eyes of the sleepers wax'd deadly and
chill,
And :their hearts but once heav'd and forever
were still.
And, there lay the,steed with his nostril alt wide,
But through it there rolt'd not the breath of his
pride; .
And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf,
And. as cold as the spray of the rock-beaten surf:
And there lay the rider distorted and pale.
With the dew on his brow and the rust on his
And the tents were all silent, the banners alone,
Tbe lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown. •
And the widows of Asbur are loud in their wail,
And, the idols are broke in the temp'e of Baal;
And the might of the Gentile unsmote by the
sword,
Rath melted like snow in the glante Of the Lord !
The 'World fns Nutshell.

Sleeted - against the assault, of the
Cotton Conspirators.
The meeting on Satnrday evening in the old Court .
House was the largest ever held in that - antiquated
building. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather (the streets were muddy and there was a
cold rain) the room was cull.and overflowing. A
more respectable gathering we never witnessed here
or elsewhere. Those who composed the meeting
were the very -cream of society. We saw there the
workmen from iron Mills, factories, and shops of all
kinds; -there were employer*, merchants, clerks,
and professional. men--a//, ALI. enthusiastic in the
cause which had called them together. The most .
admirable order prevailed ; the enthusiasm was un
bounded. The speeches were spirited and the
poiqu were,received. with thundering applause.
At about 7 o'clock the meeting wire called to . or
der by calling RICHARH'SAVORY, of the Fifth
Ward, to the Chair; and appointiog Capt. Jona Bin.
NIBOFIAK, of Fourth, Col. WM. Mencerrn, of
South Pittsburgh, and JACOB 111cCAusTro,or Third,
-to act as Vice Presidents ; J. d. Hunker and -J. D.
Thornburgh. were chosen Secretaries. .
•
On motion, it was
Rewired, That a committee of fire be appointed
by the Chair to draft Resolutions.
The Chair named the ft:Mowing gentlemen: James
Watson, Wm. dallagher, Wm.. E. Stevenson, , Wm.
llr'own and-Jacob Whitesell.
Mr. Stevenson was. called upon to address the
meeting. He arose and epchained the attention of
the audience for about three quarters of an hour.—
His remarks were very appropriate,. and were re
ceived with great animation by the audience.
We will give a sketch of theirpeech or . Mr. 8. to.:
morrow; but we cannot avoid noticing one matter
referred by him at the close , of his address. It
seems an effort is, now being made to introduce the
w-Low,eli proscription 9, system hgre. Certificates_
hive heten:printed whicli read as Follows.
wThia is to certify tLat Miss has been
employed in our mill for months during which
time she has complied .with all the roles and regula
-1101313 of the establishment."
We do not know that we have the words, but here
is the idea. The working of this system is simply
this : If an operative gives offence to one of the
proprietors, errs n petty overseer, by attending a
public meeting, or consulting upon means to better
her condition, she may, be 'discharged without a
certificate. None of the proprietors engaged as par
ties in thisrutthallowed conspiracy, will give employ
ment toliny person without such a certificate.—
We need not comment upon thisinater. Those
who have heard et the cruelties practiced by New
England manufacturers natty have a correct idea of
the extent of this gloat wrong. This subject will be
referred to again, and again.
Col. Black was next called upon. He took the
stand amid the great cheering., He said he did not
come to make a speech but he would deliver a ser
mon. And be did deliver such a sermon as is not
often heard, we regret, for the sake of humanity, to
say.
For want of force in the office we are compelled
to omit the sketch we have of the Colonel's remarks.
It will be given to-morrow.
The Committee returned; and reported the follow
ing:
• Mmes./a, The experience of past ages in all
countries has clearly shown that Capital and Labor
are more or less antagonistical. And although labor
is vastly in the majority, yet there are but few in
stances on record, where an attempt has been made
by the operative or producer, to rob or oppress the
capitalist. While, on the other hand, from a want
of information, and unity of action onithe part of
the operative, capitalists almost from" pole to pole
have used every possible means by uniting with cor-,
rupt and despotic forms of government, the getting
of grants, and the concentration of their wealth and
power, by establishing monopolies, and all for the
purpose of more effectually reducing the masses to
the lowest possible state of mental and physical ex
istence ; so that they may grasp a larger portion of
the:proceede of their induStry.
The object of all good men and true republicane,
will be, to harmonize, as far as possible, these two
interests, by advocating whatever policy or measure
may be calculated to elevate and ameliorate the
condition of the many—the immediate wealth pro
ducers. Therefore,
Resolved, That we are in favor of the Tee Bonn
Svarest, as a most important measure of reform, and
desire to see it enforced in its, true spirit, " efficient
in its application to the wants of the factory opera
tives" and untrammelled by . any Proviso,
Pessived, That we heartily deprecate the exist.
ence of any party apirit or feeling that could lead the
attention of the operatives and their friends from
this all-important issue, or cause them to forget a
measure fraught with such blessings to themselves
and posterity.
Resolved, That we feel confident, from the pro;
fessions of the two leading parties of the State, du
ring the last election, that the honorable represen
tatives of the people assembled at Harrishorgh, will
strike Oct the obnoxious proviso attached to the "Ten
Hour Law," being a mere mockery as it'now stands
—strangled to death by' this proviso.
Resolved, That (irrespective of party,) we most
heartily approve of the fearless and independent
course pursued by the " Prrrastraoa Momenta
Pea." in reference to the Cotton Factory Mote, and
the 3“ Ten Hour System: , With the editor of that
paper, we do not approve 'of riots; yet we-have no
desire to exaggerate, but would rather strive to miti
gate the offences ot a Mir boys and girls, who were
contending in their Own blunt - way for " leave to
to il with some degree of 'health and happiness.

abundant evidence. to convince ns of the necessity

it is to see such counties as. Montgomery, Bucks,
Northampton and Lehigh, Lycornitig and Centre,
and York, represented by Federalists - I' How dis
couraging to see Whip returned to the House from
the mountains of Cambria and, the Jovely valleys of
Luzern°. These- untoward - : res u lts' canbe easily
righted by the - exereise" oterdinary_predence and
forbearance, next fall, and Pennsylvania will be fut.-
ly redeemed from her present rulers—at least so far
as the Legislature is concerned.
We admonish our;political trethren in season,
that the good work may not be neglected. The vic
tory in Senate District number XX, will,be the Pi
oneer to other victories, if only we follow the path
of-Duly and ofFrinciple. • Then, indeed, will Penn
sylvania be 'completely redeemed.—Pennsuloonian.
Ste" The above aAiele_fram the i'enneilvanian
breathes the right spirit. The result.of the recent
election in the XXth Senatorial District, may be
considered as indicative of the strength and .
deter
mination of our party , throaghout the . State. That
the Democracy of Pennsylvania compose a large ma
jority of its poporaiioo is withink indisputable. The
result last fall was no criterion by which to.judge o
the real strength of parties. Hundreds Of Demo
crats were induced to vote for Wm. F. Johnston for-
Governor, on account of the position he took in ie
.
lation to the Ten }tont Question. Hosts of honest
men, not only in , Allegheny county, but throughout
the entire Common Wealth; were induced to_ believe
before the election, that the whip their true
were uit
iiiends—that the policy of that party wee to uphold
the laboring interests, to reduce the hours of toil,
and increase the wages of the operatives,:... Now,
however, when no election is•• pending, :the mash
,
has been thrtiwn'off-=-the cheat has been exposed;
and the very men who prolestied to have suet, over
whelming love for the toiling misses; join in the
most inhuman, outrageous arid diabolical crusade
and conspiracy to creels and. prostrate the poor , but
honest sons
