I song from "Jane Eyre."
BY CURRER DELL.
The truest love that ever heart
Felt at its kindled'core
Did through each vein, in quickened start,
The tide of being pour.
Her coming was ruphope each day ;
Her parting was my pain ;
The chance that did her steps delay
Wars ice in every vein.
I deemed it would be nameless bliss,
As I loved, loved to be,
And to this object did I press
As blind as eargerly.
But wide as pathless was the space
That lay our loves between,
And dangeions as the fomy race
Of ocean•surges green.—
And haunted as a robber-path
Through wilderness or wood ;
For might and right and wo and wrath
Between our spirits stood.
I dangers dared ; I hindrance scorned ;_-
I omens did defy;
Whatever menaced, harassed, warned,
i passed impeteous by.
On sped my rainbow fast as light;
I flow as inn dream ;
For glorious rose upon my night
That child of shower and gleam.
Still bright on clouds of suffering dim
Shines that soft, ,oleton juy
Nor cape I nuw how dense and grim
Disasters gather nigh.
I earn not, in this moment sweet,

The Louisiana Courier, the leading
Democratic organ in New Orleans, is in
(dined to phil tsophize over the demonstra
tions of public sentiment upon the assault
of IlitooK.s upon ,Stimt , itat. The unitnimi
• ty with which Brooks is condemned by the
people of New-England, is a phenomenon
which that Democratic journal feels called
• upon to-explain. It does it accordingly in
the following-faadaiuu
"Thu real cause of the trouble lies deep

Old Bullion on the Cincinnati
Convention.
In Col. Benton's speech at .St. Louie
a few weeks ago, he gave the following
description of the Cincinnati Convention :
I went toCinctionati to be neat that Con
vention—the first one I ever approached.—
I went out to see how things were done,
and to assist a little at a safe nomination.
I found a garrison of office holders inside
of the Convention, and a besieging army
outside of it. Packed delegates were
there, sent to betray the people. Straw
delegates were there, coming from the
States which could give no Democratic
' vote. Members of Congress were there,
although forbid, by their duties, from be
ing at such a place. A cohort of office
holders from Washington city were there,
political eunuchs in the federal system, in
capable of voting for the smallest federal
office, yet sent there by the administiation
to impose a President upon the people.—
It was a scandalous collection, excluded
by the constitution from being oven electors j
of the President, and yetsent there to vote J
for the Aministration—and to vote upon
the principle of the ox that knoweth his
master's crib—upon the principle of the
ass that knoweth the hand that feed- j
eth him. Bullies were there from the
custom house and the Five Points in •
New York—all with the approbation of
the administration ; for, the office holders
would not be there, (abseet from their du
ties, and drawing their pay,) without toe
consent of their employers. It was a
scandalous collection. The members of
Congress were in the double breach of
their duties. They were neglecting their
legislative duties, and doing what they
had been interdicted from doing. Thirty
years ago, the nomination of presidenti .1
candidates was taken from Congress me ac
count of the corruption which it engender
ed, and given to delegates, intended to be
fresh treats the people stud to obey their
will ; and the nomination removed from
Washington to Baltimore, to get out of the
reach of resident-making members. But
these members followed to Baltimore, get
ting proxies from some delegate when they
could get no appointment from the people;
_and to get rid of them—to get entirely
beyond their reach—the convention itself
was removed from Baltimore to Cincinnati.
Vain effort to escape them. They follow
ed on to Cincinnati. They broke up Con.
gress.to get to this forbidden place. Sure
ly the new President will he very hard
hearted if he does not remember them
when he comes to the distribution' of office.
From Washington city came a new corps,
never before put upon such service—die
office holders in the city, cle'rks in the de
partments—heads of bureaus—men who
had no vote in any federal election—po
litical hybrids, unable to act a man's part
in any election. but sent to Cincinnati, as
a lite guard, to support the admiuistra.

THE HALL
Such was the composition of nearly one
half of the whole convention—custom
Ileums officers, post masters, salaried clerks,
packed delegates, straw delegates, political
eunuchs, members of Congress. district
attorneys and federal marshals. The place
in
- which they met, and which had been
provided by a packed administration com
mittee, was worthy of the meeting. It
was a sort of den, approached by a long
narrow passage, barricaded by three doors,
each door guarded by armed bullies, with
orders to knock down any person that ap
proached without a ticket from the coin
mittee—anit a special order to repulse this
Missouri delegation which came to vote for
Buchanan—a repulse which they attempt
ed, and got themselves knocked down and
tranyed tinder font. This den had no
will:lbws by which people could look in,
or see the light of the sun enter—only a
row of glass like a 'steamboat skylight,
thirty five feet above the floor. It was
the nearest representationikof the "black
hole" iu Calcutta, and like that hole had
wall nigh humus notorious for a similar
catastrophe. The little panes of glass a.
bore were hung on pivots; and turned flat
to let in the air. A. rain came on—drove,
in the den—and to exclude it the panes
were turned up. Smothering ! Smother
ing ! was the cry in the den ; and the glass
had to be turned up again. Over this
place was a small box for the admission of
spectators, its approach barricaded and
guarded, and entrance only obtained from
the same packed committee ; and to whom
they gave tickets was seen when the first
votes were giver; for Buchanan—nd when
each State that voted for him was hissed—
oven Virginia ! and the hissing only atop.
ped by a threat to Blear the galleries.—.
Such is the pass to which the nomination
of President is now brought.
Among the laws framed by the Border
Ruffian Legislature of Kansas is one which
enacts that any person enticing, convei

from its parents or guardians in the "fer

The Hon. JOHN A. Dix, a leading
"Democrat" in New York, and a support
er of Buchanan, in 1848, in a speech in
the U. S. Senate, in favor of ascertaining
and paying claims in California, endorsed
Col. Fremont as follows :
"In the execution,* these objects, the
young and accomplished /officer at the
head of our troops, Col. Fromont, exhib
ited a combination of energy,' promtitude,
sagacity and prudence, which indicated
the highest capacity for civil and military
command ; and, in connection with what
he has done for the cause of science, it
has given him a reputation at home and
abroad, of which men much older and
more experienced than himself might well
be proud. That the country will do jus
tice to his valuable and distinguished ser
vices, I entertain not the slightest doubt.
The objects accomplished by Col. Fre
mont, as subsequent developments have
showu, were far more important than
Ithose I have referred to. There is .no
doubt that big rapid and decisive move
ments kept California out of the hands of .
the British subjects and perhaps out of
the hands of the Mush government, aid
it is in this point of view that I desire to
present the subject to the Senate. • •
It is in this point of view that the transac
tions possess the greatest interest and im
portance, anti that the sagacity, and promp
titude, and decision of your youthful com- I
mander in California, at the time the dis
turbances broke out, have given him his
strongest claims on his countrymen. Any t
faltering on his part—any hesitancy in 1
acting and acting promptly—might have!
cost us millions of dollars and thousands
of lives ; and it might also have cost us
a contest of which the end is not 'readily
forseen.

Assessing the Postmaster
The Buchanan men are pressing the
Post Office Department into their service.
Apystem of espiodage is to be established,
under which every village Postmaster is to
report to "head quarters" the names and
nationalities of all receiving letters through
their post•offices. A fund for election-
eering purposes is also to he nava by com
pelling Post masters to pay certain sums
each, under penalty of dismissal. Tho

joined fell into the wrong bands, and has

of Post-master General Campbell—is not

To THE POSTMASTER
. DrAs Sin :--At a private consultation of the
leading democrats of the Union, held in this
city immediately upon the ajournment of the
Cincinnati Convention, it was recommended
!that each Postmaster be requested to contri
bute an amount proportionate to the receipts
of their respective offices. Upon examining
the returns of the Post Offico Department it is
found that your proportion will be three dol.
tars, which you will confer a favor by remit
ting by return of mail. •
The principal object in making these collec
tions is to throw. into the doubtful States an
immense quantity of speeches and documents
in favor of the policy of the democratic party,
and also to assist in defraying the expenses of
speakers who will be employed during the
coming canvass. You will therefore perceive
that every postmaster who wishes fora contin.•
nance of his official position will find it to his
interest to use every effort to hring about so
desirable a result.
Postmas tern' are appealed to becalise they
are oonsideredttie representatives of the party
in their respective localities, and lbeing the , re;
cip . ients of the patronage of the administration
it in but just that they should comply with its
dimande. '

WAYNE ConsTY. This is a county on
the northern border of this State, and it
has heretofore been good for from 500 to
1000 democratic majority. In 1854 it
gave 469 majority for Bigler. It now
promises to give 700 for Fremont. The
Democrat, published in that county, says :
..The Republican Ratification Couven
tien, held in the Court House of this bor.
otigh. on the 9th • inst. was the finest con
vocation of the sort ever held in this wen
ty. It entirely sarpassed the auticipa-
bans of those concerned most actively in
getting it up.
Full half of the officers of the tbeeting
were democrats who voted for Pierce four
years ago ; and one half the persons pres
ent, participating in or approving of the
object of the gathering. were in the same
category. Taking the county as a Whole,
it may fairly be said that the individuals
comprisul in the Republican organization
have been drawn in very nearly equal
proportions from the old Whig and demo.
cratic parties. Nor is the end yet reached.
Scarcely a day passes in which we do not
receive intelligence of fresh acquisitions
to the Republican ranks. I
A while ago we stated our impression
that the Republican majority in the coun
ty would reach five hundred. This is
what we judged it would be worked up to.
Quite a number of our sanguine friends.
and among them several who by old asso
ciations, are best posted in respect to the
partiality of the democrats towards the
new orgi'aizstion„ insist that our mark is
too Isw. We begin to think it is ourselves,
and shall claim the privilege of altering it
hereafter." •

, Ma. EDITOR:-1. am probably extrava
gaut in tny admiration of the river St.
Lawrence, but the varied scenery along its
banks and the various changes in the
width of the stream make it intensely in
timating to, me. Now expanding into a
broad and placid lake, now contracting in
to a narrow stream with. a rugged and
rocky channel through which the steamer
plUnges madly, with the waters boiliug
and seething arou and undernegte„ ibis
majestic outlet of he, upper lakes thus
rolls its great , m of waters into old

ter having recently witnessed her in her

greeably surprised. cros.ed the river of
thu sante name as the Falhi on "a bridge
thrown across the rapids. Hero r was
struck with the peculiar browti bee of the
water in contrast with ,the, .deep and very
peculiar green tint of tho water at Niagara.
Passing around the bluff the falling sheet
of water burst npon my chin% in ill 'its'
beauty and grandeur, , impreising 'my miiid
With sentimente of awe and aublimity.4---
The Falls are two hundred and 'nifty feet
in height, thus greatly exceeding plieolia.
They are not however, as sublimely ;ter-
rifle as Niagara, but ',this' mighty oasiade
is resplendent with' all that can be realised
by the river pouring ita , angry waters two
hundred and fifty feet over the gloomy
precipice, from which arisen mist glitter

-The ride through the country to these
Falls and' the valleys around gave me en
opportunity of witnessing the mode of life
of the habitats', who are all 'Canadia n
French. They live in small woOden cota

fertile land, but their method of agrienl
