Cl)e Jitas;. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 14. 1860. A Batch of poets. j In tho bolief that, amid tho overwhelming quantity and depth of political matter which necessarily almost swamps journalism,, at present, we should endeavor to present some . relief, we determine to malic this column' as Varied in subject as we cati, and to . pre sent Something which those who are non-po litical may care to read. To-day, therefore, we shall make some recent books of poetry pass heiore our readers* uotieo. j A small volume of « Poems,” by Augustus l Julien Requier,* can receive only the briefest notioo from us. For, though Mr. Requioris verses havo the form, thoy do not possess the vitality of Poetry. They are often vague; in expression, deficient in rythm and defec tive in rhymes. Tho writer evidently has a cultivated mind, but it is one thing to en joy and appreciate pootiy and another .to write it. In half the hooka of poetry which wo havo to iread,.tho authors mistake aspira tion for ability. !, “ Ivy wall” is the somewhat fanciful title of a volume, by T. Seaton Donoho,f of Washing ton, containing poems of thought, sentiment; feeliDg, and affection; some “occasional* 3 versos, (whieh should have perißhed with tW ■ occasion,) a three-act drama, m blank verse J entitled “The Goldsmith of Padua,” which was successfully acted at the Washington theatre, two years ago, andsomo capital parodies, os “ Tho Latham Prize Poems,Which exhibit Mr. Donoho’s versatility in a striking manner* The book is dedicated to John Savage, him self a poet of no low degreo, and tho dedica- tion of such a volume is no mean compliment, It is evident, from the fervor of his composi tion, that Mr. Donoho possesses the advantage of youth—that is, ho must bo undor the age of thirty—but has not passed through tho world without exercising keen and thoughtful obser vation. Equally apparent, that ho loves books, music, friends, and social life—the proverb praises “old books, old friends, old wine.” “ But, above all, this poet—for Poot he is— cherishes the tondorness and beauty of the homo affections. Heart overflows, In his case, and makes the glorious utterance which the world recognizes as poetry. Without feoling, there cannot bo Song. The mere form— measured rythm, well-adjusted expression, lines felicitous in tho answering music of their rhymes, happy turns of verbal expression— tho mere form, wo repeat, never did make poetry since tho world began, and it is not too much to say that it never will. They may look handsomely on paper, verso-lines which form a rlvnlot of type meandering through a meadow of margin, but when it comes to read ing thorn, “We start—lor soul is wanting there.’*! Mr. Donoho’s volume, on tho contrary, is full of feeling, because ho wrote from the abundance of his heart. Ho may bo described as a poot of tho domestic affections. Wo have read every line in his book, some of tho pioce3 moro than once, and have detected only a sin gle bad rhyme—namely, on pago 105, where ho makes banner rhymo with Hosanna, which is cockneyish. His oar must he muslcally at taned, too, lor his rythm is usually correct. Yet mere smoothness is not his characteristic; now and then, he lots you see that ho under stands the harmony of discord; as'wolt a% of concord. In his facetious poems, (suoh 'os « The Haunted Clerk,” “ Bladcusburg,” ft A Socrot,” «A Dry Goods’ Store,” and “ Love’s Adventure,” Mr. Donoho is least successful: it is ono thing to appreciate hu mor, another to put it upon paper, Ou tho other hand; in the Sonnet, one of the most OTfflctnrrormsrof poetry - ,"Mr. D- shows Turn self fully the master. Hero is ono, addressed to John Mitchol, the bold Irish leader of ’4B: . JOHN MITCHKL. Lover of Erin, banished from her breast, . What dime, howovor fair, shall gh e thee rest ? And yet no maddened wanderer wilt thqn go, Crying aloud against u&pitjing Fate, For thou Invest wisely, not tike Romeo, And-with resolved heart wilt Watoh and wait. Thy Juliet sleeps, but not the sleep of death— And there is ra&gio in thy true lips’ death 1 , - They knew it well, who banished thee afar, And changed from isle to isle thy .prison doom, ' And woro too weak to hold thee 1 Lo 1 the bar, Torn from thy dungeon—and the ponderous tomb Shudders at every shook! Thy Juliet bears \ [years I the lives! She shall be thine thiougfc many glorious Wo must not part witli Mr, Donoho, how ever, without showing how delightfully he sings of home and its charmed and charming circle. Did our space permit, we should have preferred giving the lengthier poem, with which the volume opens i MAYS COTTAGE. Wjken dreams of lot?b first came to me. They piotured some secluded shade, Where vines, and flowers, aod birds should be; And all the noisy world's parade . A thrilling story told: A story strangely grand, but vain, Remembered less and less, While purer pride and pleasure reign, And day and night by turns impress Wise teachings manifold. And now within my cottage home, The aims I dreamed in early years, I rest me, nor would furthor roam Along the crowded path of tears— The path that lead* to death: For only here may life be found; ’Tis smiling in the gentle flowers— The birds are singing it around— ’Tift gtanoing in the sunny shower*- And all hath blessed breath! With her I love, to Bit and read— With her t love, to calmly talk; Or, when the golden clouds sueoeed The sultry, breathless noon, to walk Beneath the quivering trees, Silent awhile, or speaking now. While hand is fondly olasping hand, Until the stars come out, and Thou, God of the promised Eden land, Art whispering m the breeze! The s’ars&re thiok; I see tho dew Like diamonds on the drooping gras* The lamp will yet the day renew And slow the winding way we pass, Where friends and song invite, Or books, or prints of distant shore. Old castles, abbeys, pleasing soenes Which all the ancient time restore, As fanoy o'er the pioturo loans, With eyes of fairy light! And still the dearest theme of all Is Home—there is no other word Whioh can, as by enohantment, call Around u? flowor, and breeze, and bird, And love, the soul of bliss! O. sweetest word of mortal speeoh I 0, worthy of an angel tongue ! Indeed dost thou to true love teach A beauty never, never sung— A Homo so dear as this ! Turning from authors hitherto unknown to tho world—tho last not long to remain so—wo onconntor some who hayo won “ the laurels ol triumphant Song.” Hero, in a small volume of blue and gold, wo have tho Poems of Francos Sargent Os good,! who will long bo romembered, in Eng land as well as hero, for her rare beauties of mind and person. Tho wile of Osgood, tho painter, himsolf a man ot intellect and culture, her education as a thinker and a writer was continued alter her marriage—until her death, in iaet, whioh took placo in hor 38th year. Mrs. Osgood’s Pooms wore colloctcd in her lifetime, and tho present is a beautiiul edition, attractively got up. Wore wo asked which Eng lish poet Mrs. Osgood most noarly resembles, we should answer, Mrs. Norton. Thero is no imitation whatever, but thero is the reiem blance; but Frances Osgood infused a more wholesomo tone in her poetry, eschewing tho alternate sorrow and complaint which make Caroline Norton’s strains, however harmo nious, not a little wearisome alter two or three pages have been read.’ "Wo scarcely know which poem to select, hut tho following, which is a little lovo story, as well as a song, will servo, as well as any other, to show with what grace and ease Mrs. Osgood wrote .- THE UNEXPECTED DECLARATION, "Azure- eyed Eloise! beauty is thine. Pasßiun kneels to thee, end call, thee divine; Minstrels awaken the lute with thy name; Poetn have gladden’d the world with thy fame j Painters, half holy, thy loved Imago keep; . Beautiful Eioiie! why do you weep 1" Still bow. the lady her light tresses low— Fast the warm tears lrom her veiled eyee flow 1 " Sonny-haired Elotse 1 wealth is thine own; Rioh is thy silken robe—bright la thy zone; Proudly tho jewel illumines thy way; Clear rubies rival thy ruddy lip’s play; Diamonds like star-drops thy silkon braids deck; Pearls waste their snow on thy lovelier neck ; Luxury softens thy pillow foralaap— Angels watoh over it I—Why do you weep i” Bowi the fair lady lior light tresses low— i Faster tho tears fretn her veiled eyea flow ! ".Gifted and worshipped one 1 Genius and Greeo 'w y ln oa °k m °bon»end beam in thy faoe: » when from tby roßylip rises the song, Hearts that adore thee the coho prolong I He er in the festival shone an eye brightor; He or in the mazy dance fell a foot lighter* One only spirit thou’st failed to bring down— •Bxf pride in her sojil! • , "-Touched by thy sweetness—in love witkthy grao<|— Charmed by the magic of mind in thy faoe — Bewitohed by thy beauty—e’en his hauehty strength, The strength of the stole, is conquered fit length! be! at thy feet—Beo him kneeling the while— BiloUel Kloiro! why do you smile?” 1 The hand was withdrawn from her happy blue eyes,‘ s She gazed on her lover with laughing surprise; j While tho dimple and blush, stealing soft 'to her oheek, Told the tale that her tongue was too timid to spoak! ' N. i*. TV'illis is precisely tho poet to put “ into bias and gold,” as wo havo him herp.§ Pooplo may say what they pleaso of the affbc-' tations and word-coinings of 'Willis’s proso, (they aro not so many, after all,) but we should like to learn the name of any modern who has written better sacred poetry. In his miscel laneous writings we often find a straining,to be cffectlyo, whereby tho simplicity of his language is sacrificed, bnt .Willis’s Sacrjed Pooms aro clear and lucid as diamonds. Tpo present collection, prefaced by a -brief bat sufficient biography, into which no pnfls jof tho subject are introduced, contains tile whole, we believo, of Mr. Willis’s poems; not ex cluding “ Melanie,’! and ‘'l he Lady Janbi” .Public opinion'lias pronounced most favorably upon these compositions, and this very neat edition, enriched with the author’s portrait, will havo a largo sale. For- the most part, Willis, rhymes very well.' In “ Tho Lady Jane,” (a poem of English society, full ol' brilliant portraits,) wo notice some slips— effects of carelessness, perhaps, or of uncon scious imitation of the miserable rhymos Of his friend, George P. Morris, viz: guarded and papa did; ought he and forty; midship man and another man; handsome and under stand ’em; stop ns and corpus; vista and missed her; up a and supper; yavming and morning; fetter her and et cetera; thm and again; stanza and young,man, sir, and .then, by way of variety, plan, sir, and stanza. Mr. Willis very well- knew, when writing them, that these rhymes were "the votiCßt cockney isms, and ho, a poet,- should have avoided them. Wo must not quit'Willis, however, without , giving some evidence that,, though wo reprove his occasional carelessness, he is entitled to the praise which wo havo awarded him. . Hero. is a short poem of his, lull of beauty,.which many of our readers will be glad to read again: AOHXWJ’S FIRST IMPRESSION OF A STAR. She had beoa told that God made all the stars That twinkled up in heaven, and now ihe stood Watohing the oorams of the twilight on.' As if it were anew and perfeot world, Anifthiswere its first eve. Sho stood alone Hr the row window, with the silken lash Of her soft eye upraised, and her sweet mouth < Half parted with the new and strange delight Of beauty that she could not comprehend, And hod not seen before. The purple folds Of the IoW sunset olouds, and tho blue sky That look’d so still and delioate above, Fill’d her young heart with gladness, and the eve Stole on with its deep shadows, and she still Stood looking at the west with that half smile, As if a pleasant thought were at her heart. Presently, in.theedge of the lost tint 1 Of eunset, where the blue was melted in - To the faint goljUnmeJlowness, a star Stood suddenly. Burst from her lips, add putting up her hands, Her simple thought broke forth expressively— " Father 1 dear father 1 Gcd has made a star!” JohnGrocnjeaf Whittier, albeit is apoot. HehaV?reatc,ftßi|ii*ot3 # oflanguago,ju dlcions skill Jus thoughts, pure taste, delfcato "fincy, and vivid imagination. Not always, it may bo regretted, does ho com bine those requisites. Wo sometimes find him rugged in expression, careless in his rhymes, and apparently not so -much anxious to clothe> his thoufjdts in poetic gash, as simply to pro duce them, nis language, m general, is ner- And ho seems to choose his words/ as ’ Cobbett ■ dld^hunnij—. gard to their Saxon origin. No living poet has written more pore English. His new volume of “Home Ballads and Poems”|| contains seve ral which have' previously been given to the world in magazines. There aro ten Ballads —among which tho most * notablo aro « Skipper Ireson’ft Rid©,”* « Tho Swan Song of Parson Avery,” and “The Prophecy of Samuel Sewall.” Hero, too, aro some five* and-twenty pooms and lyrics, of varied merit* “Tho Pipes at Lucknow,” upon an event which did not occur, is a fine lyric, and so, though Mr. Whittier might havo choaen a better subject, is that upon mad “ Brpwn of Oasawatomie.” Wo should like hero to copy that doep-thoughtod poem, « Tho Preacher,” but its length forbids. Here, instead, is tho concluding poem in tho book: Foil an autumn festival. The Persian's flowery gifts, the shrine Of fruitful Ceres, ohaimno more; The woven wreaths of oak and pins Aro dust along tho Isthmian shore. But beauty hath its homage still,' And nature holds us still in debt; And woman’s grace and household skill, And manhood’s toil are honored yet. And wo, to day, amidst our flowers And fruits, have ohms to own again The blessing of tho summer hours, The oariy and tho latter rain; To see our Father’s band 01100 more Boverse for us the plenteous horn Of autumn, filled and running o’er With fruit, and flowor, and golden oorn! Once more the liberal year laughs out O’er richer stares than earn# or soldi Onoo more with harvest-sons and sfiaut In Nature’s bloodless triumph told. Out common mother rests and rinse, Like ituth, among her garnered sheaves *, Her lap is full of goodly things, Her brow is bright with autumn leaves. o,favors every year made new! 0, gifts with rain and sunshine sent! Tho bounty overruns our due. The fulness shames our disoontent. "We shut our eyes, tho flowers bloom on; We murmur, but the oorn-ears fill; Y7o ohoose tho shadow, but the sun That oasts it shines behind us still. | God gives us with our rugged soil The povror to make it Eden-fair, And richer fruits to orown our toil Than summer* wedded Islands bear. "Who murmurs at his lot to-day ? Who scorns his nativo fruit and bloom? Or sighs for dainties far away* tfcsido the bounteous board of home ? 'I hank Heaven, instead, that Freedom’s arm Can ohango a rocky soil to gold~ And brave and generous lives oan warm A clime with northern toes cold. And let these altars, wreathed with flowers And piled with fruits, awake again Thanksgiving for the golden h' urs, The early and the latter rain! On former occasions, wo have had to notice llr. “Whittier’s carolesßness inrhyming, That objection is net applicable to the poems in tho present volume. En passant , as our talk is upon poetry, to day, lot us mention that Theodore Martin’s Translation of tho Odes of Horace into Eng lish vorse, with a life and notes,I** 1 ** published in the famous « blue and gold” Boston series, token os a whole, gives a better idea of tho spirit oi tho social poet of the Augustine era than any other which we have seen. Strictly considered, it is rather a paraphrase than a translation —such a version, in fine, as Horace might himself have given, if his mother tonguo had been English. In conclusion, Mrs. Jameson’s « Legends of the Madonna, os represented in tho Fine Arts,” also a blue and gold reprint,it with the author’s final additions and corrections, is suf ficiently poetical to warrant our drawing atten tion to it here. It is full of poetic thought, aud will supply numerous subjects, or wo greatly err, for tho pen and pencil, ere long. It is enriched with a memoir and portrait of tho author, six of whoso works have already been reproduced, in «< blue aud gold,” by Ticknor & Fields, who havo in preparation, for tho same series, her Sacred and Legenda ry Art, Legends of the Monastic Orders, and History of onr Lord. * Poems.

Not content with this, our North' ern brethren have chosen a mulatto, Hannibal Hamlin, to grace the seat that Calhoun filled,' dnd to preside over tho doliboratioDfi of a Senate in which Southern statesmen hold counsel 'for the wolfaro of tho nation.

THE SfAYQB OP BALTIMORE FOR UNION. [ J George William Brown, the newly-elected Mayor o! Baltimore, thus closes his recent inaugural ad dress : A period of great prosperity appeared to be opening for this oity, but tho prospect has been ftlddonly clouded by the effeot produced on some of tho Southern States by tho recent Presidential’ election. As this is a matter deeply affecting the welfare of this community, which is inseparably 1 bound up in tho preßorvatfon of the Union, I may be permitted to allude to it hero, so far as to ex press the hopo that wise and prudent counsels may prevail. Tho eleotion of. a President, according to the Erovisions of tho Constitution, howover unaccepta lo ho may bo to any portion of the Ropublio, can afford no justification for its disruption, and, in any event, there can bo no doubt about the course which polfoy and duty aliko requito the people of Maryland to pursue. While thb oltisens of this State are sensitive in regard to their constitutional rights, and are justly Indignant at the enforcement orlaws by some of the States which practically nul lify one of those rights, and while they have suf fered at least as much from unwarrantable inter ference with tho institution of slavery as the peo ple of any other part of tho United States, they have always boon steadfast ip their devotion to the Union, and will doubtless so remain, unless acts of. aggression should bo perpetra ted or sanctioned by the General Government— a contingency whioh 1 hope and believe there is no reason to apprehend. lam confident that X express the unanimous sentiment of the peo ple of Baltimore—the largest of fye Southern cities—when I say that the true policy of Mary land is to adhere to the Union, so long as she oan do so with honor and safety, but to stand prepared, oyTuu»ttt%«o*iftLmeans and within constitutional limits, to protect her rights, should they bo assailod, and in tho mean time to rest o&Jmly in tho hope that jastioe will be done her by the Government of tho Union, which was created, and should be ad ministered. by tho whole people, for the oommon welfare. Surely no oattso has yet arisen sufficient to justify tbo overthrow of ,tho noblest and most benefioent Government ovor established by human wisdom, and which is oonsooratod and endeared to the hearts of all, not only by the abundant blessings, of the present moment, but by the eaored memo ries of the past and the great hopes of the future. The South Carolina Declaration of I Independence* (From the Washington Constitution of yesterday.] A citizen of South Carolina has sent ua the fol lowing as one of tho proposed forms of declaration of independence to be submitted to the Convention which is to moot on tho 17th proximo : PROPOSED DECLARATION OP INDEPENDENCE OP SOUTH CAROLINA. When, in the courso of human events, it be comes necessary for one people to dissolvo the po litical bands wh oh havo connected them with another, and to assume among 'he powers of the : earth the separato and equal station to whioh the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes whioh impel them to tho separation. Wo hold these truths to be solf-evidont : that, I although all men aro created wholly unequal, , mentally, morally, and physically, yet they are ; all equally entitled, under overy oivilizcd govern* ] men;, to the full protection of their lives, persons, and proporty, Jor whioh protection governments ■ are sololy instituted amozig moo, deriving their just powers solely from tho consent of the governed; I that whenever any form of government becomes i destructive of thoso ends, it is the right of the peo* plo to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a now government, laying its foundation on suohfrinol >Us, and organising ita powers in such form ns to them shall room most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudcnoo, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not bo changed for light and transient causes ; and, ac cordingly, all experience hath shown that man kind are more disposed to suffer while ills aro suf for&blo, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they aro aoouatomod. Bat when a long train of abases and usurpations, pursuing In variably the same object, evinces a design to re duoo them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern ment, and to provide now guards for their future security, &uoh has been the patient sufferance of the Southern States of this Union, and such is now tho neoossity which constrains them to alter their present system of Federal Government. The history of tho present Northern States is a history of repeated injuries, insults, and usurpations, all having a direct object in the establishment of an absolute tyranny over the Southern States. To prove thi?, lot facts bo submitted to a candid world : Ist. The Northern States of this Union have for many long years warred against oar peoaliar In stitution ot slavery, instigated by tho dictates of a relentless fanaticism, whioh declares that insti tution to bo a moral sin whioh we hold to be a Di vino institution, established by God himself in the following decree enunciated to Moms on Mt. Sinai: “Both thy bondmen and bondmaids whioh thou shalt havo shall bo of tho heathen that are around about you; of them shell ye bay bondmen and bondmaids; moreover, of the ohildron of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and they shall be your possession: ye shall take thorn bb an inheritanoo for your ohildren after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen forever.” And we furthor hold that this Dirfbely established institution was al ways sanctioned by onr Saviour and his Apostles. 2d. A largo numbor of the Northern States have nullified the Constitution of the'presonfc Union bypassing laws to provontlho fulfilment of that Constitution, which declares that fugitive claves shall be delivered up to thoir owners; tho princi ple of which fugitive-slave 'law has the oxpress and saored sanction of St. Paol tho Apostle. 3d. Tho Northern States of this Union have de* dared that the people of the Southern States shall not emigrato with their property into the Territo ries, whioh rightfully belong to thorn equally with tho North; and that the people of tho South shall not have their property promoted by the Federal Government, wheniuoh protection is (as above de > dared) the solo object and end of all governments. 4th. Thoso Northern States have, by a relent* loss and unscrupulous mojority, constantly imposed heavy taxes, not simply without, but directly agaiust our representation and our consent In the general Congress, by levying onerous and excessive duties upon goods imported in return fqr. and par ohased by our cotlon, rice, and tobacco, in order to protoot and encourago their own manufactures, And 1 in order to expend vast sums at tho North in Im proving and fortifying their own harbors, towns, - and oities, at tho evident and direct expense of tho products and labor of tho South. sth. Theso Northern States have eleoted bv an ’ overwhelming Gcotional voto a President and Vioo President, both from their own seotion of country, 1 in direot opposition to our wishes and our protests,. ■ neither of whom has reooivod one stnglo vote i from our section, and whose express oreed Is that. “ there is an irrepressible oonfliot against slavery,' which can never oeaso until slavery la extinguish ed.” 1 - ( - . We havo,for long years, in vain appealed to their sonso of justice and common right;, wo haveoon- Jured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow and abandon these usurpations, whidh Would inevitably interrupt and destroy our con nections and our Union. Bat they have been deaf to the voice of justice, of honor, and of oon* sanguinity. We must, therefore, acqulesoe in the necessity whioh denounces our separation; and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind—ono mieainwar; in peaoe, frionds.

Oar national development within the past few yoars has been extraordinary; bat that particular phase of it, which has been going on in the north western raoge of States, is something roaily mar vellous. History will soaroely credit their rapidi ty of growth and the solid stability of power which lias accompanied their wonderful expansion. The seven States of Ohio, Indiana, Illiiiois, Michigan j Wisconsin, lowa, and Minnesota hold, to-day, nearly one-third of the conntry’s entire, popula tion. The census gives them between eight and nine millions, and their Icoreoio irso fast and cer tain os to .Boon render, oven that liberal com- < paUtion below the actual mark., : ThU great Northwest is the producing region— 1 the granary of tho land—from whenoe wo draw tho chief necessaries of our own support, besides j receiving a constant surplus for the use of foreign I countries, whioh givo nsin return their spare oapi- i tal to help us on to further enterprise ana progress.
