A CALL TO SPHIIMi. ‘.Come, CLjpome! thou hast tarried long—‘•Come, with the glory of light and song. Earth pines for thee an a thousand shores. Where the billow breaks and the wild wtud roars. There’s a voice of wail ’mid the ancient trees, Torn and tossed by the wintry breeze. Gloom hath shrouded our pleasant bowers, Death hath blighted our vines and flowers; And every hour, on its fleeting wing, Bears away a prayer to thee, O, Spring? Come, O, cornel we pine for thee, As pines the wanderer for home, at sea; As the captive pines in bis lonely cell, For dashing waters and a breezy dell. Wc sigh for the influence that life renews, For the spell of soft sunshine and balmy dews; For the genial a(rs and the pleasant rain, To awaken our blossoms and streams again. “I come! I cornel lam coming boekt” Thus answered a voice from tiie sun’s bright track: “I will clothe the heaven's fair face with smiles, I will call tho birds from a thousand isles; The streams shall laugh where the violets blow, The trees exult and the laurels glow. There’s not a beauty, nor bloom, nor hue, That tlie charm of my presence shall not renew.” Not so, O, Spring! no power thou hast O’er much of beauty that's from us past! Eyes, that looked love into our eyes are dim; Voices arc hushed from our vesper hymn; Bright young faces have passed away; Places are vacant at full of day. Thou cans't bang leaves on a thousand trees; Tl’.ou <a#is'C bring the flowers, the birds and the bee- ; Thou cans’t loosen the streams and silver founts, And brcu.the a glory o’er vales and mounts; Bsit thon cans’t not restore to our yearning arms, The vanquished past and its lovely so. ms. \ et I speak, to the lieart in my radiant bloom, Of a Spuing that opens beyond the tomb— Wheire the lost and loved of earth are foundhere the severed wreaths are forever bound— Where comes no dimness o'er eves of light, ActJ the check of beauty ne’er knows a blight. There’s not a beauty, nor bloom nor hue, That the charm of my presence shall not renew.

BlistcUanrous. ■ [From Evansville Daily Journal, 10th hist. Presidential €’a 1 <u!a t ions. j The Tribune is correct when it argues that i the brunt of the contest will come in this ' State and Pennsylvania, and that the Octoj ber struggle in the two States will be deci- ; s.ye of the result in The elections of 1856 prove this conclu -ively. We wish to give to all whom it may concern, some speculations on the above premises, so far as they concern Indiana; and we believe what we say will be verified by all who understand the polities of this State, and particularly of the Southern portion. We commence by sti ll further “boiling down” the issue as regards Indiana, the battle has to be foyght in Southern Indiana, I and particularly in the First, Second and Fourth Districts- Northern and Central Indiana, and a very few isolated counties like Jeflerson, in the Southern portion of the •State, will go for the nominee of the Chicago Convention whoever he tnay be; but if Chase, Seward, or any of the ether ultra leaders be thrust on the Opposition (not Republican) National Convention at Chicago, thousands of the Opposition in our .Southern counties will either not vote at ail, or will vote for the National Union candidate, provided he is not placed on a pro-slavery platform. Claimfcig to understand Indiana sentiment, and practically that of Southern Indiana, we believe we may lay down a series es propositions which will stand the test cf the severest criticism, a®d ultimately prove i well founded. I I. With Doagilas as the Charleston nominee, on a platform similar To the Cmcinnati platform, and Seward, Chase, or any other extreme man as the Chicago nominee—lndiana will go for Douglas by 20,000 majority, if Douglas should •be"' oaminated .by e pro■slavery or two-faced j>latfor l m. il ;CQiiservative vetere .would (neither-vote for him nor far an ■ultra Republican. 11. With a •&save- > code p’iatforrn anil candi'flate at ’Char'leston, and an “irrepressible conflict” platform and nominee at 'Chicage., coiLscrViaiires.would refuse to vote for either. In that case a midtile ’Candidate like Bates, McLean >dr Bell, on a .national .platform could carry the State by a vigorous canvass. 111. With Douglas as the Charleston nomi■aee, on e sovereignly platform, (which >8 not probable,) and Edward Bates as the Chicago nominee on a platform equh a~ ilant to .his late letter, the chances would •be nearly equal, with ahis advantage to l/te (Opposition’. The candidates on our'State ticket are not only less vulnerable to.attacks, but vastly superior in qualifications, de those on the.'Democratic State ticket. This would give,us a sure .victory in October cn persen;al grounds, and a great momentum and de.cided prestige for November—enough so rto carry us “over the .center”—in engineer’s parlance. Once over, we should be safe. IV. With Douglas as the Charleston nominee on a pro-slavery or doubtful platform,

RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, IND., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1860.

or any other candidate on any platform that does not distinctly and unequivocally recognize the right of the people of the Territories to reject slavery if they wish; and with Mr. Bates as the nominee of the Opposition at Chicago on a platform substantially equivalent to his letter—we can safely say that Indiana will roll up for the great Missouri statesman 50,000 majority beside electing all the Opposition State ticket in October, and a Legislature that will make some good man like Henry S. Lane United States Senator. In addition to all this, we believe we could send an entire Opposition delegation to the lower House of Congress. V. The “Third Party” movement will not affect the contest in this State between the two great parties that will exist—the parties represented at Chicago and Charleston—utiless: (1) T\ere should be imposed on the Conservatives a choice - between an extreme proslavery man on the one band, and an ultra anti-slavery man on the o her, with platforms to suit; or unless, (2.) Douglas should be nominated at Charleston on a pro-slavery or doubtful platform, and an ultra man should be put up at Chicago; or unless, (3.) Seward, Chase, or some other man equally ultra, should be nominated al Chicago on a moderate platform, which will be the case if such a nomination be made. A fourth instance of a diversion for a I Third Party man is barely possible, but we do not regard it as a “supposable case,” viz: The nomination of a National man like Bates or McLean, on an ultra anti-slavery platform. We do not believe that either of those gentlemen would accept a nomination on that kind of a platform if it were offered them. In the first of these cases, a National Third Party candidate would get the greater portion of the Fiimore vote of 1856, the Conservative Republican strength, and considerable Democratic support —say 100,000 votes in all. In the second case, the Constitutional Urion ticket would command at least the vote of Fillmore in 1856—some 20,000. In the third case, it would be found that—no matter haw mild and conservative the platform on which might be placed Seward, Chase, or any other man who has been equally radical—there would be at least 10,000 voters in the State (particularly in the Southern portion) who would utterly refuse to vote the Chicago ticket. If the Baltimore candidate should not be placed on a pro-slavery platform,they would support him. If so placed, and Douglas should be nominated on an honest popular sovereignty platform, they would support Douglas. Otherwise, they would decline voting altogether, and this indifference would endanger the Opposition State ticket in October, the Legislature and United States Senator, and give the Democrats a majority of the United States Representatives. If asked wfoeCher the Eomimatiora of Bates would not drive off the free-soil vote, we answer: • If Bates should be nominated, with his letter as a basis for his platform, the number erf bolters la tills State would not exceed the Garrisonian Abolitionist streSgtih •and that cm comfortably be stowed away' iri our Lunatic Asylum. They possibly number a couple of thousands in the State. We«ogi etnn up the foregoing views in Two short prop os iti on sNeither Mr. Seward, Mr. Chase, nor any other equally ultra candidate, can carry this State under any possible ciroum-stances:; and if either be nominated, he will endanger our prospects in October. Mr. or Mr. McLean ean carry the .State, with the aid he will receive in Oc--tober from our popular State ticket, against any nomination that wilhbe.made at Charieo•ton. [ln our calculations, we take it for granted that us Mr. Bates should be nominated, a Northern man will be put on the ticket for Vice President, and that if Mr. McLean -ahould be ,the .choice, a Southern man will be nominated for Vice ’President. The Conservatives .consider it essential teat onecan--ilidate :be-taken from each section.] Messrs.'Bates and McLean we have considered as the preference of the .Conservatives. -Without doubt, Mr. Bates is The first choice, because he has more recently put himself on record on the living issues of ?the day ; because >he has -more physical vigor for the energetic Administration of the iGov■ernment; and because there is a .reluctance 'tordeprive the Bench of so (illustrious and safe a Judge as Mr. McLean. But if, in consequence of the warm discussion between the friends of Mr. Bates and the friends of Mr. Seward, it shall be found that there is serious danger of an extensive bolt of Mr. Seward’s friends from

“FREEDOM NATIONAL—SLAVERY SECTIONAL.”

the nomination of Mr. Bates, so as to render the latter’s election doubtful—then Judge McLean would be the second choice of the Conservatives, who would vote for him if nominated with entire unanimity. They have an abiding faith in his patriotism, nationality and broad statesmanship. The nomination of no other man would give as general satisfaction to the Opposition of this State as that of (first) Mr. Bates, or (second) Mr. McLean. These views we submit to the Tribune' Cincinati Gazette,und all interested, for what they are worth. - We believe them to be sound.

The Presldential Contest.

During the ensuing sixty days, the National Convention of the Democratic party, the Union party and the Republicans, will construct their platforms and place upon them their candidates for President and VicePresident. In each case the question of availability will so largely influence the nominations that it may be regarded as almost an impossibility to name the probable choice of either. The Democrats open the campaign at Charleston on the 23d of the present month. The two most prominent candidates are understood to be R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, and Stephen A. Douglas,'of Illinois. Mr. Hunter can undoubtedly carry all the slave States, including even Maryland, if the contest is“=Warrowed down to a straggle between Democracy and Republicanism. But we doubt very much whether he can secure a single electoral vote North of Mason & Dixon’s line. The following States only could be regarded as certain for him; , Alabama .. . ,f> I Georgia. ......... 1(1 Arkansas; 4 Kentucky 12 California 4 j Lousiana 6 Delawa-e 3 I Mississippi 7 Florida 3 | Missouri 9 Mary lane 8 | North Carolina.... iO South Carolina 8 1 Tennessee 12 Texas. 4 | Virginia. ? . 15 Total 124 Necessary to an election 152 Riquiring to secure his election 28 With Mr. Douglas us the caudidateof the Democracy, there is some doubt whether South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and, perhaps, Virginia, might not be tempted to nominate independent electors, or to make a seperate nomination with a view of expeting to throw the contest into the House of RepreseEtatives. But independent of the Southern States, Mr. Douglas woteld have a good chance, ar d his friends claim for him with certainty, of the vote of Illinois, 11; Indiana, 13; Minnesota, 4; Oregon,3, a«d New Jersey, 7; making in all 38 votes, or 10 more than sufficient for his election, with the entire vote of the slaveholding States, and one more than is necessary without New Jersey or Oregon. There still remains Pennsylvania, which the Democracy regard as doubtful, but which the Republicans claim by 30,000 majority. a The second Convention, thatof the Union Opposition party, will be held at Baltimore on the 9th of May. That Convention will also be controled by the question es availability, and very largely , by the character of the Charlestos n ami nee. If Mr. Douglas is nominated at Charleston,the object wiilibe to put in nomination a candidate who will meet the views of the dissatisfied Democrats of the .Southern States—one whose .record is purely national oa the slavery quest-ioti. If they look to the-South for Bupport their nominee will (probably be the Hon. .Jobii Bell, of Tennessee—who would be po.pu.lar in all sections ofthe .country. But should the Democracy proye harmonious, and nominate Mr. .Hunter, or agree upon a platform on which they elect can Mr. Douglas, or fall back on Vice President Brackenridge, me (Southern aid and comfort to the Union nominee need'be expected. The effort .will then probably be, in case Mr. Hunter as •nominaletl, to (bring forward, as the Union candidate, Mr. Bates, of Missouri, iu the hope that the Republicans will be compelled to take him at Chicago, in preference to Mr. Seward. But the .question would then arise whether, -with Mr. Hunter as the opposing candidate, ’.the Republicans would not feel sufficiently strong at Chicago., on the ,23d pf May, to take their first choice against -the field in the per-son qf Mr. Seward. The following States are claimed as certain for the Republican candidate, let him be whomsoever -he may, and the .contest is (Understood to be narrowed down Between Mr. Seward as their first choice, and Mr. .Bates as .the.candidate.of the “availability” pertiqn of the party: New Y0rk........ 35 I New Hampshire.... 5 ’ Ohio. 23 Michigan 61 Rhode Island. .. . 11 Massachusetts 13 j

In short, if Mr. Hunter is nominated at Charleston, Mr. Seward will be nominated at Chicago, as the Republicans will then regard the glove as fairly thrown to them for a sectional contest, and they will have the issue that they desire to make. The Charleston Convention may therefore be looked to as the key of the whole contest. To those not in the secret of Convention management, it may appear to be an impossibility to make any satisfactory nomination. The cotton growing States, all of which can give their electoral votes to the nominee, will not be disposed to yield their choice to the dictation of delegates from States that are certain to cast their electoral vote against the nominee, whoever that nominee may be. On the other hand, if they do not yield to the demands of the eight doubtful States, it must be with a willingness to go into the contest with almost certain defeat before them. The question of “availability” will thus stalk into their midst, and it will be a difficult matter to resist itS'requirements. In fact, national politics were never more complicated than at the present time, and in the progress of events even the Union Convention, to be held in Baltimore, may become the compromise ground of these great sectional differences.

The Great Building-Raising.

For the past week marvel and the woni der of onr citizens and visitors has been the j spectacle of a. solid front of first class business blocks, comprising the entire block on the north side of Lake street, between Clark and La Salle streets, a length of ZWee Aundred and twenty feet, being raised four feet by the almost resistless lifting force of six thousand screws. The-block comprises thirteen first class stores, and a large, double marble structure, the Marine Bank building. Its subdivisions are a five story marble front block of three stores; a four story block of tlfrce stores; a second four story block of three stores, at the corner of Clark street—these all presenting an unbroken front, in the heart cf our city, and filled with occupants. It presents some of the very best retail establishments in tire city, and some of the heaviest stocks of drugs, dry goods, &.c. Its upper etories are full of offices, and contain military rooms, printing establishments, binderies, &.c. &c., and yet, so admirably has the work (been conducted, the ceasetefes daily tide <|>f • pedestrians has not .been impeded, but rath- ’ er incr.ea&ed, from the novelty of the sight, ■and the merchants and others even speak cf 'an improved trade; though they will welcome the completion of tbe work none the 1 less. i Thia absence from annoyance to the r. er- : chants and the public, is due to the skill with which the contractors, have hung the I I : sidewalks to the block iteelf, and carried up the same with the rise of the building. The i block has been raised four feet eight inches, I the required bight, in five days, ending with Friday last, and She masons are new ■ busily putting in the permanent supports, i The entire work will Occupy about four j weeks. Ax estimate from a reliable source makes ' the entire weight thus raised -to be about 35,000 tons. So carefully has it been done I that not a pane of glass has Leon broken nor a crack in masonry appeared. The internal [ order cf the block has prevailed undisturbed ‘The contract was taken not jointly, but so ) carried out, by the several firms of Brown & [ Hollingsworth,dPullman.<fc Moor, and Fly & , Smith and for an aggregate price of $17,000. I The sum will be nearly doubled by the en- [ tire improvements contemplated on the" , block. The process -of raising, as indicated above, is -by the screw, at six thousand of which three inches in diameter, and of “three-eighths thread,"six hundred workmen have been employed, each man in charge cf from eight to ten screws. A complete system of signals was kept in operation, and by these the workmee passed, each through his series,

giving each screw one quarter turn, then re turning to repeat the same. Five days’ la bor saw the immense weight rise through four feet eight inches to where it now stands on temporary supports rapidly being replaced by permanent-foundations. The work, as it stands, is worth going miles to see, and has drawn the admiration of thousands within the week past.

The following form of marriage actually took place recently between two negroes, with a negro minister, at Live Creek, Ga., and is the form generally used there: “Here is a couple who have walked out to-night, wishing to be jin.-d in, and thro' love and wishing all dem dat have any ting twixen dem come forward and speak now, let them hold their peace now and forever more.

Hendricks' Home Popularity.

Shelbyville, Ikd., April 6. Eds. Gazette:— The township elections in this county, on Monday, were unusually exciting, and resulted very satisfactorily to the Republicans. This is the home of Hendricks, the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, and the Democracy exerted themselves to their utmost to carry the -various townships by large majorities, that they might be able to herald the result abroad as an evidence of Air. Il’s great “home popularity.” The whole corps of Democratic speakers, with Air. Hendricks at their head, thoroughly canvassed the county, and every nook and corner was ransacked by theix “Vigilance Committee” to bring out the full strength of the party. The Republicans ac cepted the issue tendered them —“Lane er Hendricks”—and entered"into the contest, not, however, until after the Democrats had got considerably the etart. The result surprised every one—the Republicans as much as the Democrats. For in view of the extraordinary exertions made by ■’Hendricks and Lis friends, the busy time with the farmers, and the general apathy usually exibited by the Republicans in regard to the spring elections, they did not expect to carry more than one township out cf the thirteen in this “hot-bed of Old Llneism.” In this towjiship; (Addison,) the only one in which the Republicans have a reliable majority, and that not exceeding twenty, and carried by the Democratic candidate for Trustee last year, the fight was the warmest; and the Hendricks men, confident of victory, had made great preparations for bonfires and a general rejoicing! But, unfortunately for' them, the entire ticket vua. elected by from sixty to one hundred and forty-three! From the o'Jjer townships we have equally favoiable returns. O.‘ the thirteen Trustees elected v, c have four regular Democrats, three Independent Democrats, and six Republicans! cf' the nine Justices elected we Lave three Democrats and six Republicans! Old Shelby will give a good account of herself next fall. Yours, &c. X ”
