T zit DAILY NEWS THt unexampled success which has thus far attended the News Estab lithmenti encourages the proprietors to spare ho ekertions to make the Daily News a paper Which shall he second to none of its cotemporaries in Philadel phia. They will make it their especial aim to impart a dignified and high inor , al tone to the paper, and to exclude from its columns everything of an indelicate or offensive nature. They have the most ample resources, in every respect, to en able them to give to its readers the latest and most accurate local, foreign and do mestic intelligence, and also full and re liable accounts of the Markets and Com mercial news generally. The Daily News will continue to ad vocate Whig principles as originally ex pounded by the Fathers of the Consti tution, and adopted by the acredited or gans and champions of the Whig cause at the present day. It will urge the holding of a Whig National Convention for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, and will battle, with all the ability, zeal and energy it can command, to secure the triumphant election of the nominees of that Convention. Sunset, like a golden shower, fell over I the broad prairie; and the beautiful flow ers that stood cheek to cheek in loving, embrace, stretching away in long pro eession ike a fairy army, far as the eye could.reach, sent up their incense through the air, brilliant with many-colored sects; until it hung in a transparent cloud upon the verge of the sky, where the graceful curve of the horizon was lost to the eye in the depths of the un fathomable ether. Northward, the told pure blue, steadfast and solid tie Mar ble, stood like a wall bounding the vast prairie ocean ; while in the east, the gor geous pageant of the dying day-god was reproduced in dim and broken light, which whispered to the soul, sorrow and farewell. From the south, a curtain seemed to have been suddenly withdrawn —so fresh and elastic looked the pale green atmosphere, and so sweetly sigh= ed the evening wind, as it stopped to murmur to the wild bee, hid in the crim son chalice of the trumpet-flower, of her far-off forest tree, and remind her that the hour of night and rest had come. But another sound came also upon the breeze—a strange, startling sound, in the midst t hat vast flowery solitude, where never yet, as it should scent, hu man foot had crushed a flower, or hu man voice disturbed the fairies in their moonlight revels. Creak ! creak ! it is the groan of a poor tortured wagon, over laden and shrieking with thirst, as it rolls slowly and painfully along. And now there are voices—quick shouts and lowrinonstrances, and a peevish min gling of unhappy noises, making the heart thrill with an undefinable dread— noises which none but man, and the poor helpless creatures he is set to guard and. cherish on earth, can make—nor they, save when the gripe of poverty, sick ness or starvation is strong upon them. A sad and miserable cavalcade, in sooth !
