'A APOET10AL ASYLUM. BOYHOOD. 1 love fresh feelings it is so unlike This olden world to meet them ; and they come Upon my heart like music so, or like Some passage that is new in poetry. I walked one eve by moonlight. I had seen Some fourteen summers, and my cyphering Was all the thought I had ; and as the world Had come to me so pleasantly, I tout A way ward temper for my manual. And kept it to the letter It was now A mellow eve of summer, and a girl, Who laughed forever like the birds, ami had Long eyelashes, and very dangerous eyes, Was leaning on my arm I did not know 1 was in love ; but it seemed natural To think of all she said and she'd a way
Of comintr to one's dreams ; and then her name
Was always in the lesson liKe a woru, And half the time I studied it. This tve We had been very gay, and I had w atched The deep, half shaded dimple in her cheek, Till I forgot to answer and as she Of too much mirth grew serious, 1 began To act the lover pi ivfully. My c-.p Was carelessly thrown back, and on my hcek
I shook some dew for tears, and as she curled Her lip in mimic ccrn, I knelt to her. And begged for her seet fnvor, touchingly. She answeted coldly first, r.nd then relented, As wiser maids have done ; but with, a lock Of something so like earnest, that I did Her hand some violence : and then she blushed
And said I must not tell, but ladies" i'pb, By some were counted prettier. The moon Shone just as soberly, and I went heme And kept the secret ; but I do not know That she would let me touch the seal again.

gates whom you appointed assembled at Hairisbtirg, on the cSih of January. 1828tand organized the Gonven tion to frame an Kleetoi ial Ticket, in favor of which the Democracy of Pennsylvania may unite.at the Presidential Election in November next A copy of the Official Minutes of the proceedings of this Body, faithfullyrecorded by its Secretaries is prefixed to this address, for your scrutiny and information. Having emerged from meetings of democratic citizens, convened in the various cities and counties after due public notice, without qualification or restriction of any kind, and conformably to a practice which ban uni
formly received your sanction feel ourselves the direct representa lives and authorised agents of the great political pirly to which we individually belong : as representa lives, bound to express the known will, or to fulfil the precise instructions of our constituents ; as agents, competent to pledge the co operation of our respective principals in any course" approved and adopted by a majority. In adhering to these usa gps and opinions, the democrats of tins sta c. schooled and permanent advocates of popular sovereignty aui rights, have been able to defeat eVeA
combination, anstocratical m its formation or tendency. and to attract the anplauscand confidence of the Union Ve d not suppose that at the mom ent when this sstem of political action is receiving universal praise. & is operating, upon a firmer sphereto dieate and purify the prinriplN& practices ofthe General Government, you can by artifice bo seduced to abandon it On the contrary, we fii bear even to comment upon the disingenuous arid feeble attempt, already made and doubtless to be pro loon;t'd the object of which is to withdraw yon from your regular and vie torious mode of party organization : Because, we are avete t. use the only language appropriate to the origin & conductors of that attempt; and especially because all experience has proved that they who hope, to
streiigthcnyouropponents by dutrae
ling you, or to onram your suiiruijo
by cunning & pretence, arc ignorant
alike of your intelligence and your virtue. You will perceive, fellow citizens, that, in accord with the convictions of your judgments, as well as actuated by the same enthusiastic and hon orabl feelings so often exhibited by yourselves, wc luvc uiuUsscntingly
