Bay whan, on thy stow pinions, tarrleit thou, Ob loft, celestial breath, Bant to my iplrit from tha Infinite? I will not call thee Death! On my white couch, ill day I wait for thee, And through the dewy night; tlu Ro commissioned thee to wing 10 ilow, And calm, thy lolomn flight? In rolvet fields, I know the lambkins play, And infant TloleU peep, Come iwiftly, ere my almost parted heart, Return for theee to weep! While itill and pale, I fade from hoar to hoar, Eye keeping watch like atari, Make earth to dear that ttill my apirlt reiti, Without the crystal baril Yhla lower aVy ia gloriously fair: I am not tirod of earthl From other spheres, I shall look lore to thea Laad of my mortal birth I Butt haveoaugtat a vision of the palms, around the Mount of God: That niystio tree, whose branches show the way Which CHRIST, the Savior, trod. And underneath their boughs my soul must dwell With souls boautifled. 'T was whispered tome in the holy night, By angels at my side. Then why, in thy slow pinions tarrieit thou, Oh soft, celestial breath, Sent to my spirit from the Infinite? I will not call the Death! Oar Little May-May. IIkji name was Mary, but she called herself May-way before she could speak plainly, and therefore she was, and will always be, called so. It is not possible in words to de- scribe the sweet spirit that shone in ber dark eyes, and smiled in her little mouth. Though she was with us scarcely eight years on earth she will always be in our hearts, Those little brothers may live to be old men, busy, careworn men, such as we see hurrying up and down our streets ; but they will never . forgot the trustful submission and cheerful obedience of this little sister, who went so early to heaven. 'And often, in the hour of temptation, they will see her pleading eyes, and hear again the sweet child-voice " No, no, mama would t like it." The little sister, left so young and so lonely behind, will nev er come to regard her as " May-may, wlto died ; " she is note, and will ever be, " her May-may," only she has gone "off to another home to wait. We try in vain to make others know how inexpressibly dear and precious ho was, but God knows it well. He made her just so beautiful and good, and lent her to us, and watched approvingly as, day to day our hearts wove in and in with hers;and then, with all those bands connecting us, Ho took her to himself, wither He bad in vain besought us to look. Strange that we could not see this, His last design, through all the last months of her life Strange not to know that such rapid unfoldings of leaf, and bud, and flower could only be through some diviner light and air. "But our eyes were holden."-The valley of the shadow of- death was not long; only a day's march, and the golden gates were reached. They opened wide, and. though we knew it not, our darling did; she heard the voice, "Suffer" her to come to me. And as we sat around hor bed, she folded her dimpled hands, and softly said her usual prayer, and then adding, with her last sweet breath, "0 (Jod, forgive all May-may's aim," slit "fell asleep." " Oh, Earth 1 in vain our aching eyes stretch over thv itreen ntain. Too harsh thy dews, too gross thine air her spirit to sustain. But in grovos of Paradise full surely shall we see v Our morning glory beautiful twino round our dear Lord sfc, nee. Santas Letter. ffewaunee, K. T., April 13th '58. foriSD Banning, I notice that the leaders of the 'Lecomptonites' are urging the necessity of our immediate admission under the Lecompton Constitution, as they say "to prevent further trouble In Kansas. In this they are vorykmuch mistaken. The freeman of this Territory will not submit to such an outrage. Should it pass Congress, in a modified form, so as to enable us to amend it exactly as we please, then, to avoid civil war; we might submit to it; but, if it passes as it is-our rights and honor demand that we resist it, with all the energy of freemen. To palliate this wrong we are told by the President that "we can alter or amend it at any timo." Now I am unable to see how this oan be done. The Constitution when properly ratified by the people and accepted by Congress Is virtually a contract between all the parties that, its provisions shall be faithfully carried out. Then, if it passes unmodified.how can we amend it before the hour of agreement, which is 18C1? And if received how can we alter the slavery clause at that timet If we adopt the Constituion as our own, we certainly adopt it with every clause, one of which is,7w tlavery thall never be interfered with. Whether the ''Dred Scott" court of the United States. would not require us to fulfill all our clearly expressed contracts and obligations is a ques tion of little doubt,. In view of these facts and of the erest m-imorv. fundamental right of "self Government." I hold that we cannot receive the Lecompton Constitution without the most humiliating degradation. We must "lick thedust" ofuo conditional submission, and like the Ancients "kiss the great toe" of our oppressors. Let me assure you the freemen of Kansas will do no such thing. They have, bourne enough already to revolutionize any other people. They have done it for peace, for the "Union and from a sense of Christian duty; and after this "Job like" patience, are our oppressions never to end? Are we still to be pursued and misrepresented, by the very Government which, should ever be watchful over every right of all her citizens? Must we tamely submit to the dictation of Calhoun power and bow in abject debasement because our Government has joined hands with our enemies in overthrowing our liberties'! No, never. If the purity of the ballot box, the only safeguard of American liberty, is not to bo extended to Kansas inviolate, better, far better, for our country to throw up another Bunker Hill Monument. Far better to sleep at the foot o f a gigantic column with the sons of freemen, than to yield up our manhood, rights and liberties to any earthly power. Until now, I have not been without some hope, that, either in the Senate or House, we would find enough generous and patriotic spirits to triumphantly vindicate our cause. I Baby's Arrival. There are many persons who make a prac tice of saying to little children, to whom has come the gilt ol a brother or sister, "JNow baby, your nose is out of joint : you can never be mother's baby any more, fur she has got another." This is said in thoughtlessness often with glee ; but it sinks like a stone into the baby's heart to which it is addressed. were one to go to a grown man ana tell mm that his house and home, and all that rested within it had gone none know whither, but where he might never more hope to see them, it would not be a more cruel blow to him than k is to a little three year old child to tell him he can never be his mother's baby any more. It makes him a poor frightened little outcast in a moment ; and any one that, realizing this fact, can so sport with the feelings of a tender babe is worthy of being promoted to the office of chief torturer in some barbarous despot's court A Magnanimous Husband. Not long since, widow, one ot those whom we are in the habit of calling well preserved, by the name of Madame 11, yielding to the ardent solicitations of one of the young literary men of Paris, married him. On returning from the church and the mayor's office, the lady took he husband aside, and said, " Pardon me, my dear, for I hava deceived you I" "In what ?" said the young man of letters, much troubled. "I told yea that I had two hundred thousand franss. and ".Well, and have yeu not T Never mind ; its all the same te) me." No,, that is not it exactly ;' I' have two million 1" Tha husband for' gave ber. (T The soul is immortal and yet it may Jt-. Tl It.

Wemust receive a fraudulent constitution, and that forced upon us. If so, the die is cast, and we may as well prepare for the worst. The next mail -that reaches us, will probably tell us that our chains are riveted fast.and we are slaves! What is the Union worth if the right of self government is strickenown? What is its value, if the ballot box is trampled under foot? Nothing. Like Banks (under these circumstances, I say,) "Let it slide." The organic act of this Territoryis, to us.what the Magna Charts was to the Englishman the Declaration of Independence to the Amer icans; and as that act is about to be wrested from us, and the Lecompton swindle to take its place, we swear we will not accept it, un til it has first been made the winding sheet of her murdered freemen. Banning, do not charge me with excitement or fanaticism, I write deliberately. The question now is, not whether we shall have African slavery, but whether we ourselves shall be slavesf I am glad to know that such staunch democrats as Gaston Scribner. Andrews. See., are laboring against this outrage, and trust they will con vince every Lecompton Democrat that, (as a friend suggested,) old Buck and his followers, "went outfrom us, because they were n"t of us." But I will turn to our thriving little village Kewaunee. This town, three months ago could not boast of a single house. Since that about forty houses have been erected among which, the Court House is not surpassed by any in the territory, and (am sorry to add) our market honeeis far superior to that rick ety old shanty in Mt. Vernon. The town is lo cated on the territorial road, running from Leavenworth to Fort Gibson, between which places a Railroad is now in contempt tion. The town lies on a high, gently undu lating prairie divide, and slopes off gradually till it reaches the river. It is situated upon the best timbered stream in Kansas (the No- osha ftiver.) Excellent building stone is found near the town, and not over three miles off, there is a fine vein- of stone coal. With these advantages, and a rich Agricultural country around, Kewaunee offers superior in ducements to the Emigrant and Gnpatalist Here an enterprising and flourishing community has sprung into active life and ere long the shrill ery of the Locomotive will'be heard Mere anon. . Your old Friend, BOBT. T. THOMSON. Emigration into Kaunas'. A Kansas letter writer says, in a commu nication published in 'the New York Times: Immigration is still pouring Into the Tor ntory, though in far smaller streams than I year ago. Nevertheless, one meets half a do. zen immigrant wagons on every mile of road each drawn by two or three yoke of oxen, with a cow led at the tail-board, and an inevitable dog bringing up the rear. The waggons are all covered, and Well filled with varied cargoes, on the top of which may gen. erally be seon half a dozen ruddy-faced chil dren, peoringout from under the cover at ev err passing traveller. Hanged along the out side of the vehicle hang an axe, a tevkettle. and a frying-pan the universal implements ol cookery upon these migratory trips. The camp of one of these emigrating families is interesting to the novice in life on the l'laros. At the close of a weary day's ride, the team is hauled up along side some water course, or in the edge or a thicket, or under the brow of a hill which affords protection against the wind when it's too high for the out-door lodg. ing. The children and the mother gladly dismount from their perch upon the household goods ; and while those who are old enough assist in turning out the cattle to graze, and in collecting material for a fire, the "old man" pitches the apology for a tent. A rousing lire soon blazes, the sliced bacon hisses in the pan, the Johnny cake is baking the kettle sings, the cow is milked, and then supper is ready. Half an hour's chat by the liberal and generous fire closes the programme and the eyes of all a good sized log or the stump of a tree having first been fairly ignited for the preservation of a due amount of "caloric" during the night. Hiding in the night, at this season, one may see any amount of these camp-fires illumining the prairio, nnd pleasing and picturesque scenes they are, apparently so full of rude and robust comfort, that a beholder from the great over-crowded city forgo ts his dyspepsia in very envy of the squatter's healthful inde pendence. A Eich Letter from a Congressman. The Cincinnati Qatelte has been furnished with a letter written by the Indiana Congressman whose name is attached to it. This man Foley went for English's bill. The Quxettt vouches for the letter being perfect copy of the original. Washington, Apiil 22, '58. Dear friend : your Kind favor of the 14 Inst, is to hand.

Bancroft on Tank?, Judge Taney in de. livering the opinion of the United States Su preme Court on the Dred Scott cose, observed that at the time of the revolution and at the formation of the present federal government. black men were unanimously regarded as having no rights which white men were bound to respect. On the other hand, Bancroft, whose histori cal investigations have been far more thorough does not hesitate to remark in his account of the Battle of Bunker Hill, published since the announcement ol the Dred Scott opinion, as fol. lows: " Nor should history forget to record that. as in the army at Cambridge, so also in this gallant band, the free negroes of the colony had their representatives. For the right of free negroes to bear arms in the public defense was, at that day, 1775, as little disputed in New England as their other rights. They took their place not in a separate corpie, but in the ranks with the white man, and their names may be read on the pension rolls of the country side by side with those of other soldiers of the Revolution.

We presume ho is in safety beforo this. One of the most painful things noticeable in a fugitive is hiaconstant suspicion and (lis trust He never Is secure, never feels full confidence in those who befriend him. The dread of pursuit or betrayal is ever in his mind. He is as wary as if ho thought him self still in the enemy's country liable to cap ture. Akron Beacon. Another Unconstitutional Law. In conversation the other day with Mr. Lucius Case a lawyer of the very highest standing at the liar in this district, and who was a leading member of the last Constitutional Conventionwe understood him to express the opinion that the law of the last Legislature providing for the election, this Fall, ofan ad Fill on-al Common Pleas Judge for this judicial district, is unconstitutional and void; for the reason that it makes the wMe judicial district, instead of a Subdivision thereof, an electitn district, contrary to the theory, policy and requirement of the Constitution, and contrary to the hitherto umtorm practice under the new Constitution.
