Notwithstanding a great many have attained to eminence, yet there are a few who have so far surpassed all others, as to form different Cycles in the progress of literature. We read in days of old, of that first and great poet, the immortal Homer, who sung the praises of Ulysses and Hector. His sublime verses have stood the test of time Two thousand years or more, have rolled their ample rounds, and still his poems are looked upon as master pieces of composition. The student loves to ponder over the rich and melodious verses of this author. Subsequently, V irgil, by the production of the Acnid established the second Cycle. Then followed in the course of time, the “dark ages,” a period on which the historian dwells with sorrow and regret, both on account of the imperfect history of those ages, and the irreparable destruction of many literary works, by the Goths and Vandals who overrun the Roman empire, spreading devasta-

Hon. Henry Secrest :

Dear Sir: Ours is the pleasing duty of informing you that the Democracy of the Seventh Congressional District of Indiana, when assembled in convention at Terre Haute on the 22nd instant, with singular unanimity, and under circumstances extraordinary, yet most flattering to yourself, selected you as their candidate for Congress—their Captain for the Campaign, to lead them on to victory. Tho official published proceedings, doubtless, you have seen. But there is an unwritten history of this Convention, which is dearly cherished by your democratic friends, and which, we think cannot bo otherwise than gratifying to yourself. We allude to the manner in which your nomination was made
