JULY —Rv Jons Ci-Aini,
Loud is the summers busy song,
The smallest breeze can lind a tongue,
While insects of such tiny size
Grow teasing with their melodies,
Till noon burns wilh ita blistering breath
Around, and day lies still as death.
The busy noise of man and brute
Is on a sudden lent and mute ;
Even tbe brook that leaps aloug
Seems weary of its bubbling song,
So soft its waters creep.
Tired silence sinks in sounder sleep,
Tbe cricket on its bank is dumb ;
The very flies forget to hum ;
And, save the wagon rooking round, j    T;ik
Tbe breeze is slopped, the lazy hough
Hath not a leaf tbat danceth now.
Tbe taller grass upon lbe hill,
And spiders' threads are .standing still;
Tbe feathers, dropped from muirhen's win,
Which to tlie water's surface cling,
Are steadfast, and as heavy seem
As stones beneath them in the stream.
Hawkwced and groundsel's fanny downs
Unruffled keep their seedy crowns ;
And in the over-heated air
Not one light thing is floating there,
Save that to the earnest eye
Tbe restless heat seems twittering by.
Noon swoons beneath the heat it made,
And flowers e'en withiu tbe shade :
tin til tbe sun slopes iu the west,
Like weary traveler, glad to rest
Ou the pillowed clouds oi many hues.
Then Nature's voice ita joy renews,
And checkered field and grassy plain
Hum with their summer songs again
A requiem to the day's decline,
Whose setting sunbeams coolly shine
As welcome to day's feeble powers
As falling dews to thirsty flowers.
Quilp and his wife had a hii of contention, the
other day. "I own you bave more brilliancy than

brute.
A clergyman of Bangor, Me., was married in his

A farce was produced in Bannister's time under

"I predict its fate," said he.
"What fate?" eaid Bannister; "Why, what can

A young man explains bis having red hair by

Why is a ben immortal ? Because her eon never

A lady, whoso husband lays aw:ake nights to

A gentleman in a steamboat asked tbe man who

ARRIVAL OF THE PONY EXPRESS.
The Pony Express arrived with dates from St.
Louis to July Gth. We quote from the Bulletin's
dispatches :
The California Malls.
The steamship "Ariel" left New York on Monday, 2d July, for Aspinwall, without any California mail or uny newspapers by lbe expresses.
VanderbiU positively refugee to carry the California inuiiH for inland and ocean postage. lie alto
declines to carry express matter lor Wells, FargO
-& Jo. and others. This is a plain attempt (o force
(he Government, into a contract on hisown tetms.
Vanderbilt threatened t.o throw overboard the
express matter if il. contained miy letters or papers.
He would not permit even the exchange papers for
tbe California journals to b» carried. Great indignation was felt in New York at his course.
Letters will go by the Overland Mail • but there
is now no provision for carrying newspapers.
lt was reported that Russell, Major & Co. had
withdrawn their proposition to carry the entire
mail, tii-wcikr.. i j Efie Central roote. Oiiexamination it was found (hat the hu.k of tbe matter
dispatched from New York would cause the abandonment ol the enterprise as impracticable.
The New York Herald's Washington correspondent bays that the Postmaster General favors tbe
route by San Antonio and San Diego. The contractors offer to carry the entire mail, tri-weekly,
in twenty days, for $450,000 of extra compensation
The whole subject was under advisement in the
Cabinet, on tbe 3d of July. Vanderbilt's interest
at Washington whs trying to prevent any arrangement overland, but tbey will fa 1 in their efforts.
A Washington dispaich of the 5lh of July, saya
that ttie proposition lo cany mails by the San Antonio route has been abandoned by the Cabinet as
impracticable.   Another meeting was to be held
Onr postal treaty witb England requires ns to
bring the Souili American mails, which come from
Panama on English steamers, but Yanderbilt re
fuses lo carry tbem. The plan now Biugtsted ie,
to put swift Government -Steamers QD tbe route
until the next meeting of Congress. Tlie Panama
railroad and the Pacific Steamship Company are
ready to extend their co-operation in this arrangement. They disclaim sympathy with Vanderbilt.
National Politics.
On Monday, 2d July, the Democrate Committee
of Pennsylvania met ac Philadelphia, and by a
vote of 40 to 15 adopted a resolution calling on
tbe Democratic voters of the State to support the
nominee for Governor, and bury all differences on
the Presidential contest in the State election ; also
lecoimm.'nding voters to unite on tbe present electoral ticket. If it should appear tbat tbeir vote
would elect Breckinridge, then cast it for him ; it
it would elect Douglas, then cast it ior him; if
neither, then cast it asfbey please for either. Prior
to this action, a resolution declaring Douglas the
nopiinee of the Democratic parly was voted down
by 19 to 43.
The Breckinridge ratification meeting held at
Philadelphia on Mundav niiibt, 2d July, reaffirmed
the Charleston platlorm. The Front street Theatre
nomination (Douglas) was declared a nullity.
A Douglas ratification meeting was held at Philadelphia on Saturday night, the 30ih Juue.

BPBBCH OF MR.  IJRECKTNniUtJE.
Mr.Breckinridge, in response to many calls, appeared, and addressed his friends. He said he felt
deeply this manifestation of friendly regard, and
accepted it as an approval ofthe proceedings at
Baltimore, by which the National Democratic Convention presented bis name and that of his gallant and honored friend. General Lane, as candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. The heart would be cold and insensible, indeed, lhat did not throb with gratitude at
sueh an exhibition of confidence of his countrymen. He felt it, and felt ii deeply, aud did uot
affect to conceal it.
He had seen with feelings of pain the divisions
and disturbances whieh occurred in the Democratic Convention, aud had hoped to see in the end
thr,i, these evils would be averted.
His friend?, know that he would not for an in
slant permit his name to stand in the WKJ of fraternal harmony. He well knew that there were
gentlemen of the North and South,of experience
and ability, who were better fitted than himself
fot such a trust. But without referring in detail
to the proceedings at Baltimore, he would add that
the Convention which assembled at the Maryland
Institute was composed, in his opinion, of thc
A"ational Democracy of the United States.—
[Cries of "good" and cheers.]
When he learned, though wilh regret, that his
name had been presented to the country, he did
not talee long to determine that he tvould not
meanly abandon them. [Loud applause.] He un
der.-tood that some persons occupying high positions, entertain the belief that the National Democratic party is a disunion parly, and intend to
break up the uuiou ol these States. [Cries of
"never! We intend to preserve it ■'*'] lie had read
the resolutions adopted Iiy that Convention with a
great deal of care. There was nothing in the char
acterof that Convention, orthe gentlemen who
composed it—or, if he was allowed to add—in the
character of the nominee, to justify it. [Applause.]
Instead of breaking up the Union, we intend, he
said, to strengthen and to lengthen it. [Applause.]
A voice—"Cuba."
One of the resolutions declared the equality of
the States in all the common Territories, under
our common Constitution. But uo man is a disun-
ionistwho wants to preserve the Union on the
great principle of the Constitution and the equality of States,
Another resolution, instead of breaking up the
Union, seems to pledge, by th3 power of the organization, to unite its dillerent parts by iron
bonds. He hoped this would be speedily und
grandly realised. He saw nothing sectional there,
from any of the States. Our pence has never heen
disturbed except when these principles have beeu
departed from.
With regard to himself, when the Convention selected him as one of ils candidates, looking at his
humble antecedents and place of abode, it gave to
Ihe country a personal and geographical guarantee that its interest was in the Union.    [Cheers.]
He alluded to his distinguished associate, Gen.
Lane.
It sometimes happened that meu are placed in a
position where they are reluctant to act and expose themselves to censure, if not to execration,
they do not merit. But we must be prepared for
such oi'iiiirreiiees iu this liie. All men cau move
Ei'AAEu." llEJEff A;■:;:'fAE\E ^VE-EAL-iintaiU't
He conceded to others the same good purpose he
claimed lor himself.
Without acrimony and animosity he accepted
the nomination tendered him, [applause, loud and
long continued,] and should quietly, firmly, and,
he hoped, bravely accept the responsibility imposed upon him. He sherisbed the hope that, Providence will lead us out of our civil disaster, and in
good time conduct us to tranquility nnd poace.
3 Nine cheers were given lor Breckinridge with a
will, and he retired amidst overwhelming applause aud congratulations.

[Dispatch to tke New York Herald.]
BALTraoRy., June 24.—The enthusiasm on Breckinridge and Lane is iutense. The general imprtB-
Bion is lhat this ticket will sweep every Southern
State. The Douglas leaders are evidently disappointed, and only calculate ou the Nortli. They
feel coulideut that they Cannot carry the South,
and they are already talking of another Convention which will unite the party, and nominate
e strong man in place of Douglas, who cau
retire without wounded honor, alter having
received a nomination ot some kind.
Yesterday, a gentleman of Louisiana made two
bets with Mr. Duncan, of Kentucky—oue of a
thousand dollars that Mr, Douglas will not carry
the electoral vote of Illinois, and anolher of a
thousand dollars that the Breckinridge ticket will
obtain a larger vote throughout the country than
the Douglas ticket. Few, however, will hazard the
assertion that either can be elected by the people,
and the alternative is obvious that either Lincoln
will be elected, or the election will be tlirowu into
Congfe&s.
The regular Louisiana delegation have plenty
of money to spend ou the election, being worth
among them about thirteen millions of dollars.
The Douglas Convention forgot to name the
place of holding the Democratic Convention in
1864. Perhaps they thought sueh a resolution
would be superfluous. The other Convention, however, have made provision for such a contingency,
aud named Philadelphia as Ihe next place of meeting, which certainly does not look like a dissolution of the Union.
A Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune, iu reviewing the action of the Democratic party,says :
Ttit. t wo „r,nav en t-jcins. wern .n.ern'lv of p_aiy\\
ed, had about 17ft regular delegates, and the
Southern Convention about 125. out ct the original Charleston Convention, wbich contained 300
members. But lhe Southern Convention had this
vital peculiarity—it represented nearly all the
electoral votes of thc old Democratic party, Ol
genuine life and vigor, of what may he called the
consciousness of power, I am inclined to accord
the palm to tbe Southern Convention. For a wonder, it was less wordy than the other, even after
the-secession, and its action was at once cunning
and wise. It came straight to its work, and without any unnecessary ado. it put forth a most adroit
ticket for its own purposes. It took a Presidential
candidate for the conservatives, and a Vice for the
boys.
It might be partly fancy, but I thought the
Douglas men, after they reached the termination
of their proceedings, felt very much as the warrior would feel who, having slain his antagonist, in
the fury of the fight, without thinking of himself,
after surveying the dead at his feet, should then
turn his attention to his own situation, only to
(ind that he too, though a victor in the bloody
strife, was yet himself mortally wounded. It was
bnt too plainly imprinted upon the cotintenances
of the Douglas delegates, at the close and since,
that they iiad won a nomination and lost all chances of an election.
Where the Slavers Come From.—The New
York Eatress nays that the bark "Wild Fire,"
recently captured with a cargo of Africans, fs
said to have been owned and fitted out by a Boston bouse, who anticipated clearing over $200,000
by the operation.
"Wlio.wni Ride Uie Donkey l
The greatest question of the day among the
black republican politicians is. who will ride tho
pany donkey on and after the 4th of March, 1861?
They have quite settled the matter that "honest
Old Ahe Lincoln" is to bc elected, and the question now is who shall direct his movements after ho
has been comfortably installed at tbe Wbite House.
Dogberry says to Verges that when two men ride
a horse one must go behind ; but the republican
Donkey cannot carry double. If Greeley keeps
his seat wi Abe Lincolu's back, Seward and bis
henchmen, Webb, Weed and -Raymond, must hang
ou at the   tail, wliere they   will  be  liable   to get
cerned except Greeley. As tor the doukey himself, it does not appear that he has beeu consulted
about the matter at all; but if either Greeley or
Seward get once firmly seated on bis back they
will ride him through his whole four years race.
We are very curious to see how the presentcootest
will turn out, and who will ride thc donkey. Just
now Greeley seems to be a little ahead, and is
confident lhat he is the choseu manager of Old
Abe's administration. Wc shall see.---A", Y.
