OEN. TAYLOR DOWN EAST,
The Bangor Whig has a leading article upon the
question of who shall be the Whig candidate for
the Presidency. We qutrte the following para

folly believe that If the Whigs
of Maine coold have the question referred to them,
without any contingencies^* to what man shopld fill
the Presidential chair, they would by acclamation
decide upon Henry Clay 5 still in the settling the
question as to what Whig would be Bloat likely to
succeed m the election, and aecnre the
Maine, they would decide in favor of General Zach
ary Taylor. This certainly la the prevailing sen
timent, so far as we can leant, of the Whigs in this
section of the State.
CT The New Orleans Bee, alluding to the ap
pointment of Whig Delegates to the National Con

“ A largo majority of the number are decidedly

Mother of patriots! land of fame!
The wanderer loves thee still—
To thy bosom clasp thy exile son,
Where Nature may drink her fill.
Oh take me to my native land,

A meeting was held in tho Senate Chamber at
Atttin, Texas,on the 23d ult., at which resolutions
highly complimentary to Gen. Taylor were passed,
nominating him as tho People's candidate for the
Presidency. Several able addresses were deliver

slouching his hat over his eyes, assumed

*• With something of astonishment,but
more of the listless apathy of despair,
the poor player yielded without a re
mark. And tbe stranger wiped the damp
mist from the siring, and timed the in
strument afresh, until at last all was
prepared* Then it fell into the hollow
of his breast—he raised the magic slick
with a triumphant gesture, and a burst
of impetuovs harmony came like. JLlor-
renl upon the bystanders.
Ah! ah! the spirit of music has
found its master genius now ! It quails
before him ; it opens its richest harmo
nics with the hand of a prodigal. As
the golden shower fell on Danae, falls
the stream of melody at the touch of
tbe stranger. Like the low wail of an
infant’s lamentation—like the joyous
laugh of an Italian lazzarone—like the
soft whisper of a maiden who tells her
love—like tbe mournful sigh for one lov
ed but lost, steal the golden notes from
the Cremona. Every passion has found
a voice, every thought of Love, or War,
or Restlessness, or Peace, now flashes
from the strings in cadences of unearth
ly skill.

they would a successful mountebank,
and he acknowledged it with grateful

Suddenly the stranger, who had giv
en no symptoms of surprise at bis suc
cess, came to a pause. He returned the
violin to the player, arrested a public
vehicle that was passing, and motioned
bis companion to enter.
•• • Whither will you lead me now V
asked the musician, as they hurried
through the crowd.
She sleeps,* said the poor musician,
kneeling beside her : 4 and her dreams
are not of this world, for she seems hap-
py- r
44 As he spoke, a burning smile lit up
the wan features of the girl. Tbe mu
sician was so wrapt in his watchfulness
of her face, that he saw not tbe agony
Which shook the stranger.
“Still bv herside,ihb watcher smooth-*
ed her pillow, and drew together the
wandering tresses with childlike fond
ness. While be busied himself ii
these offices of a devoted love, her coun
tenance grew yet more bright, and att
inexplicable splendor played afoUnd her
parted lips.
‘/Suddenly her eyes opened; she start
ed up from her couch, and, sweeping the
dishevelled hair from her forehead, gaz
ed wistfully around. 'I*he stranger step
ped forward fmfti the shadow in which he
had stood; her eyes fell upon him, and
she uttered a wild shriek of joy.

clung round his neck—her head sank
upon bis breast w.ith enraptured glad
ness,—it is Ac/’—“the lost lover who was

tears fell from bis eyelids like summer

44 Again the unutterable splendor rest
ed on her lips*
And you have won fame, 1 she con
tinued, without heeding his last words;
4 I foretold that. What could arrest the
genius of Paganini !*
44 4 Why speak of fame now V gasped
the listener through his sobs ; 4 tell me
ofyouself,Mariana-that you will yet live
to bless me.’
44 4 Hush!’ she exclaimed interrupting
him with a hasty gesture. Her eyes
grew fixed ; she pressed him closer to her
fluttering heast. 4 They told we yoti
were false,’ she whispered in his ear
• but it was not so; you love me now
you have loved me ever, and me shall
meet again !*
44 4 We will never part,” exclaimed Pa
ganini, clasping her frantically, as if to
arrest her wavering spirit by the bonds
of his embrace; 4 let my home be thine ;
and our hands shall be united, as our
souls have ever been. . TelLmeibat you

tbe cheek touched his. A slight quiver
rept through her frame; a long deep-
drawn sigh escaped, and her loving spir*
it had flown. It was but the dust of
Mariana that lay folded in tbe arms of
