“I would not kiss the sweetest lip
Unless it, kissed me, too;
As well from th© ♦otmg rose-bud sip,
Tbs morning’s clear. cold dew.
Nor clasp a band, though sft and warm,
Unless il pressed mine own;
I'd rather love the perfect form
Carved out of Parian atone.
I will not worship eyes, though bright
And beautiful they he;
Unless they bend their living light
On me—ancf only me !
I would not love a form that heaven
Itself bath camped divine;
If I but dre anted his love was given
To other heart* thau taint*. “

Our kindet stars have steered another wa,\.
Pree a* the forest birds well pair together,
Ply to the arbors, grots and flowery meads,
And, in soft murmurs, interchange our souls;

Or taste the yellow fruit which autumn yields ;
And whoa the go idea evening culls us home.

Twilight
“I love tin*© twilight! us thy shadows roll
The oalrn of evening steals upon niy soul
Sublimely treads, solemnly serene
Still as the Lour, enchanting as the scene.
I love the© twilight! for thy gleams impart
Their dear, their dying influence to my heart,
When o’er the burp of thought thy pan-bug wind
Awakens all the music of the rniud,
And joy and sorrow as tho spirit burns,
And hope and memory sweep the chords by turn#,
While contemplation, on seraphic wings
Mounts with tho flaw© of sacrifice and sings.
Twilight! I love thee : lot thy glooms Inorcaso
Till every feeling, every pulse is peace.”

. v ir a miu Flection.
The opposition uro disposed to take a good deal
ofeucouragoracul from tho recent Yirgluia elec
tion. “They try in vain to rally their sleeping co
horts under tho cry that old Virginia has not
aloud firm for tho Democracy. They cannot,
however, create enthusiasm. The fact speaks for
itself that notwithstanding tho decreased majori
ty of the democratic party, as compared with
other elections, yet tho vote for the opposition is
no larger to-day, than it was four years ago. Thou
the vote for Flournoy was about the same as
Goggin'l is now. So, there is no occasion for ,
any boasting on tho part of tho opposition. Tho
decreased majority for Letcher can be easily ie
flunnted for. Tho democracy, conscious of their
strength and great preponderance of votes, did
not turn out to the polls, ns they would wore a de
feat fbr a moment dreamed of. Tho farmers tilted
their soil, the mechanic# kept in their shops, and
thousands of democrats remained at their homes
resting under the belief that there was no neces
sity for their aid on the day of tho election. This
accounts for the decreased majority of Democrats.
It is the wholo thing in a nutshell, Let the de
mocracy be alarmed—let them be aroused—lot j
them feel there is danger of defeat, and they Will I
awake with all the strength, aud power of a sloop
ing giant. If tho deinociaey of the good Old !
Dominion ever fail, it will uot bo because tlisj
are weak in numbers, but because, liko l’ompoy. j
they fall from an excess of strength and confi
dence.

Marktl Urdmaiicr
Much baa bo. u recently said, both in the pa- 1
pT# and on the sirpats by our cituens, in rvgai and
tu the market regulation# u# enforced by the pres- j
cut Council. While I trurt I am, and aver will
be, prepared to second and co-operate heartily i
with those who have the management,of otircity
affairs, in all they may do for tho interest ofthe
I#3-• pie, at the same tuuo, 1 must dissent wheu
they attempt to enforce law* and curry out pro !
je*t a at war with tho interest# and good of the 1
people generally. In the first place, 1 must pro-j
test against the useless expenditure of tho pen
ple‘s money in the erection of anew Mark at-house,
erpecially, when it is shrewdly sinqiected that the ‘
proposal to abandon the old house, originated ,
with parti©# whose property, (to say the least) was :
not very particularly benofitted by its proximity. \
Aside from any such views,however, the town has j
no money to throw away unnecessarily, und wo ]
have, practically, about a* much use for anew
market-house, a* a cart ha* for tiv© wheels. 1
venture the aoHertion that in twelve month* from
to-day, tire wholo ofthe present ordinance wfll be ‘
ignored by the people, if not repealed, and that j
the new market will find itself in the same condi
tion the old one has occupied for year#, having j
nothing iu it but a beggarly account of empty ‘
stall#. It is useless to attempt to force any law
down the threat# of the people, when it conflicts j
with their interest* and comfort, and that this j
dud, is capable of demonstration. The advo
cate* ofthe mea* ure claim for it, that it furnishes
a point at which one and all may go and get what
they want, and by forcing all to go to the market- ;
house, you increase the quantity of vegetables,
and thereby cheapen them, and in this way.
raie a revenue for the oily. Thi# sound# very
much like the exploded political humbug, that a j
high tariff, makes cheap good#. Doe* not every J
mao kn w that just as you levy tuxes on the ven
dor of good*, and increase his expeMWtn getting ;
to tl.** consumer, you enhance the .price of hi#
goods?
If a vegetable dealer hns to pey or SSO ,
per annum for a stall, be puts that on* the pri<>
<f hi* ankle#, and thus the cmtHumer, or rather
the citi/tuH of Columbus, will be taxed first to
build anew Market, lions© with his own money, j
and tin'll pay one or two thousand dollars annu
ally for the privilege of buying cabbage and tur
nips iu their own house, without getting one iota -
of practical benefit t hem selves, but, on the <jou- !
trary, accommodating ami rewarding gratuitous
ly a set of men who are non-residents: pay no
tax©#, and hear uo part of the burden* of the

not know what i*. If the gentlemen rltsire to

Peaches and other Fruit In New Jersey
Tho yield in many sections of thu Hint©, here
tofore furnishing a largo supply of peaches, will
this year be hardly nothing at all. In thi* coun
ty the orchard* are wholly without promise, ami
in the interim counties tho crop will hardly be
mere thau sufficient to supply tho local demand.
In South Jersey the promise i* somewhat more
favorable, hut dot's not justify the sanguine ex
pectations of the Journal.
lu the strawberry crop, however, there is no de
ficiency. These delicious berries were never more
plentiful, here and olftow here throughout the State,
than at the present moment. Our fruit stand*
are loaded down with them, and at every corner
crate* of tho blushing fruit tempt tho wayfarer
into extravagance. In size and quality tho ber
ries of tho present season are much superior to
those of some previous years.
Plums, clienic* and poors promise to be unusu
ally plentiful. Os pears, especially, tho yield will
bo much beyond tho average. Wo saw in a pri •
vale garden yc-terdny a pear treeNiot more than
seven feet high, on which wo should suppose there
wore ui least two bushels of young pears, and*
thi* i* but an index of tho general promise. As

good time coming.”

we oppose any abridgement whatever of th©

“ We may add, in conclusion, that a system of

Clopton anti Judge--Discussion at Atilrarn,
The first discussion lotween the opposing can
didates for Congress in tho 3d Congressional
District of Alabama, came off Monday, the 13th
instant, at Auburn. A largo crowd was present
to witness the first passage-at-urms between the
champions of the respective parties. Dlsappoin
ted in having a faithful reporter present, that
wo might give to our reader* an elaborate analy
sis of the speeches delivered, we are obliged to
uairato the main points discussed a* received
from an intelligent gentlemau, who was present
oil tho day. We presume hi* account is, on the
wholo, correct.
Both gentlemen, Mr. Judge and Mr, Clopton,
boro themselves well. Each felt that ho had a
“foopian worthy of his steel.” They wore skill
ed in attack and defence, and exhibited us much
tact in this particular, a* tho accomplished
fencer.
Mr. Judge planted himself upon the Know
Nothlug platform found in his loiter, and pursu
ed pretty much tho thread of tho argument in
j that remarkable document, lie abused the ad
ministration,—gpoko of tho corruption of the
Dciuooiatic party, and took high Southern
ground. Was In favor of the repeal of tho Fed
oral law* prohibiting the slave trade, und declar
ing it “piracy"—taking the same position os tho
one announced in hi* letter. Charged Mr. Clop
ton with having at ono time boen a Know Noth
uig, and obeying at all times his party in prefer
ence to hi* best impulses. Ho attacked the Con
ference Bill, and wanted to know where his com
petitor stood between Gov. Moore and Mr.
Sam ford.
Mr. Clopton replied successfully. Not a point
wus uuansworud when ho closed his spooch. satin
lying his friouds, who feared a contest with Mr.
Judge, that l)a>id Clopton, Esq, wus uot the man
to lie ruu over and frowned down.
lie uiluibnl to his .Southern Bights proclivities,
as showu throughout his political life, lie had
always fought under that flag, which bore thu iu-
Hcrlptiuii •'Southern Rights.” (Here a banner was
brought to tho stand, bearing upon its folds in
large letters, “Clocion and Southern RlUUrs”
which was alluded to in such terms by the spunk
eras to chill tho warm Southern blood of tho*©
present.) Mr. Clopton stood now whore h stood
in 1850— -was true now. if ho was true thou. Jlo
.-aid that Mr. Judge wus such a Sunt hunt mun
himself that he oveu voted, while in tho Logisla
t lire of Alabama, agmn*l an unucs u<iai oj’ Ttx
(■*)
That notwithstanding Mr. .fudge’s desire to ex
loud Southern institutions, ho wished to exclude
Texas, a *la\ c toritory, now the soundest, in tho
Union. Mr. Judge denied that he gave any such
vote, when Mr. Clopton road from tho Journals
of the Legislature the startling fact. Mr. Judge
(bought he could prove that that, was not his po
sition .Mr. Clopton suiil, ho only knew that bohad
so voted, and the record showed it. Between Mr.
ISamford and Mr. Moore, it was the duty of the
people to decide, himself. It was an outside
question, so fur as his race for Cougrens was con
cerned.
lie did not go quite so far, as Mr. Judge eon
demoing the Slave trade. H was with him to
repeal the laws wiping off the stigiua upon *lave
ry.
Upon the conference bill, he i bought he would
have perhaps, voted differently from tho Alabama
delegation, yet it was settled question u,nd not
one now tn bo diseusoed.
Mr. G'lopton then reviewed other questions con
nected with the canvass in a masterly stylo.—
His friends were eutiiuscastic, and greatly en
couraged in tho belief that Olopton will bear lbe
banner of .Southern Rights gallantly In the con
test. They fool proud of him, aud will respond
to this loud appeals ut the ballot-box, giving him
a vote that will make the friends of true principles
shout for joy.

The CMlftt at West Point.
There is a whisper full of promise to the fu

of tho noble character of their great brother-in
arms which pervades the nursery of the Ameri
can army, us evinced by the subjoined earnest and
chnructeriritlo letter from tho West Point Aoa

young soldiers bears off the palm for liberality
over every similar company, in proportion to their
numbers, except a Masonic Lodge in Mobile,
whoso subscription was given with a view only to
the wealth and patriotism of its member*.
As the soldier thinks of that home of the na

were accomplished under the wise generalship of
the nation's father, will not hia heart, lieul high

West Point, N. Y’., April 19,1550.
Honored Lady, —The Corps of Cadet* of the
United Htutes Military Academy, devoted to the
military service of their country, and surrounded
as they are at West Point, by stirring mementos
of the past, enthusiastically sympathise in your
exalted admiration and veneration for the “Father
of his Country,” whoso character, inasmuch as
while first in war, ho was also first in peace, pre
sents the loftiest example that the young Ameri
can soldier can emulate.
Nothing could more illustriously exhibit the
patriotism of the ladies of A tncrica than the noble
object of the society of which you are the Regent,
Ut purchase and preserve forever sacredly intact,
the site of Washington's tomb.
We are particularly grateful for the opportuui
ty afforded u. to uid iu wresting from the destroy
ing power of time, the tomb of a soldier, whose
every blow was struck for his uountry's liberty,
while not a thought was turned to his own ag
grandizement ; a statesman, whose only ambition
was to secure the prosperity of his country; a
Christian, whose ardent desire was for the appro
val of the Deity, without an eye to the applause
of man.
The cause is holy. It is peculiarly fit that
those who, in soul, can claim kindred with a
mother who sleeps on the hanks of tho Rappahan
nock—whoso virtues endeared her to her ootem
porarics, and whose instructions formed the noble
spirit of a Washington—it is well, we say, that
those who are allied to her who needs no monu
ment to band her memory and virtues down to ell
coming generations, other than the simple slab
inscribed. ‘Maht, Tin-: Motiikh of Wahuinoton,’
should uudertuke and finish a work toosacrod to
be finished by the sterner sex.
lueloaed you will find tho amount of our con
tributions, by which we expect rather to testify
our appreciation of your glorious undertaking
than to achieve any noteworthy assistance to
wards the consummation of so patriotic and com
mendable a purpose.
Most respectfully yours.

The I'htrtitM Convention.
The Federal Union of tho 14th iut., contain* nn
article in which that paper propoles that tlio dele
gates to the Charleston Convention should be
chosen by Congressional Districts. This is n now
plan of selection, and strikes us a* something en
vious if uot suspicious, as coming from ono of the
leading democratic organs of tlm State, and gen
erally endorsing and urging a strict adhesion to
the “utnge” of tho Democratic party. In thi*
very number the Federal Union urges tho endorse
ment of the Federal Administration, and mainly
upon tho ground that it is according to the usual
und uniform practice of the party Convention*,
assembled to nominate a candidate for Governor.
The Federal Union is somewhat of an old fogy
in politics and party tactics, and wo are surprised
that it should load off in new aud strange direc
tion iu the important mutter of selecting delegates
to our Natioual Convention. “A chauge” seems
to have ©onto “o’er thu spirit of its dream” and
that too, very suddenly. What does it uiciui?-
Docs the Federal Union want a divided delega
tion at Charleston l lias it a favorite aspirant for
j Presidential honors on whom it despairs of unit
| ing the delegation if chosen as heretofore, by u
| party Htate Convention, und for whom it would
! fain hope to get a District or two, under the
j system proposed by it? It bus been said, though
! we do not vouch fur the truth of it, that this i*
the favorite plan of Governor Cobb and hi* pecu
liar friends, and uuder which it is hoped to obtain
a part ii'uot a majority of the delegates lav arable
to his nomination. Is the Federnl Union on that
soeut? But whatever uuty be the motives or ob
jects of tho Federal Union iu bringing forward
this new plan >f appointment, we do uot hesitate
to interpose our decided objection and protest
against its adoption.
It has boen a time-honored custom of the Do
mooratie party of Georgia, as of most of tbo other
States, to select delegates to the National Conven
tions, by and through a State Couventiun called
for that especial purpose. It has always been
considered important that the delegation should
be uuited and harmonious, and that the voice of
u majority of tho party should be represented and
heard in the nominating convention—auil that
such majority, through tho delegates, should oust
the whole vote of tho State. It is evident tbai
this great end could not be attained if the plan of
District election* should prevail. Thedckgatt-m
would almost certainly be divided, “ and the
strength and influence of a united voice be lost in
tho Convention. If a majority of the Parly in
the State prefer Mr. Stephens ns a candidate for
President, then the whole delegation ought to cast
their votes for him. If, ou the other hand, a ma
jority are for Mr. Cobb, or nuy other man. then
ho is entitled to tho vote of the whole delegation.
The fact of preference can only be ascertained by
a Convention called for the purpose of appointing
delegate* and ©Korea by the people in the vari
ous counties in the State. The Federal Union
need not fear that the sentiment* of the people
will not be represented iu such a Convention.—
The Presidential election is oiiu of universal in
tereat Hiuoogst all dosses of voters, and the for
mation of tho Convention which is to select the
candidate, i* of very little less interest to them.
If the primary meet ing* of the people in the coun
ties should, as the Federal ( i ion fears, bo con
trolled by a few leading men, would they not alio
bo cull trolled under the District system? Ills
nut only important and proper that the delega
tion abul<t l><> unit in if* rote fur cuudidatc*.
but it is still more impnrtaut that the sentiments
of the Slate, upon political question* likely to bo
discussed and determined in the Convention,
should be represented by an undivided delega
tion. The majority bus (he riy/it to speak and to
be hoard iu the Convention, it has the right to say
what are tho view* and wishes of the Party in the
State, and it has the right to have those views
and wishes carried out fully in the Convention.
Wo are opposed to any plan which is likely to
j produce distracted councils or a divided vote at
Charleston. Let tho Democratic party of the
State be represented in its totality , and let the
potent voice of Georgia he heard and felt upon
the floor of that Conveutiou, which in to decide
principle * for the party, and bind it to future po
litical action. Besides, agreeably to tho estab
lished rule, each State is entitled to lour dele
gates for the State at large, aud two for eucli
Congressioal District. If the latter, according to
the suggestion of the Federal Union, he chosen by
Districts, how uro the former to he selected ? By
the people of the State at large ? Who are to
conduct tho elections? to whom are the return* to
b sent? Who is to analyze tbo vote* and deter
mine the successful candidates?
The scheme is attended by many and tneopor
abledifficulties, all of which may bo obviated by
tho plain and simple, obi and well e.-tablitdied
plou of a State Convention. These convention*
have, for the sake of convenience, been generally
held during the *ession of the Legislature, imme
diately preceding tho National < ‘ii'eution. The
various counties having Democratic member
may appoint them, and generally do so. as they
are on the spot and worthy of trust—Counties
not represented in tho Legislature by Democrat*,
rwnd up other delegate*. The Convention is held
for the specific purpose, looking to the National
Convention of the party, and doe* ami will al
ways attract sufficient interest and attention, to
.-.••cure a large assemblage of the best men of the
Party, who, coming fresh from the people, un
derstand their feelings, sentiments and wishes,
and invariably carry them out in tho Delegates
srriected and the platform of principle* adopted.
We again reiterate our protest against th n eahe-me
of the Federal Union.
Sugar Making
An important improvement in making sugar,
has been discovered iu France, by M. Durluc,
by which a groat saving is made in this important
aud increasing branch of business. The new
principle seems to be, that of extracting the suo
charine matter from the crushed cane or sorgho,
by the processof solution, and under a pressure of
air. M. Darlue says the produce of the grape
and Iwct can ho doubled, and that of the cane
quadrupled by this process.
By the present arrangements, neither all the
