Begone, old Winter-! thou white-bearded thing, Blustering tormentor of the lovely Spring A dreaming poet said, that on the lap Of rosy Spring thou once did take a nap And now it stems, forsooth, that thou dost take The" fiction in good earnest, and dost make Thy Ufly court to and thou wouldst woo Bright Spring to kiss those lips so cold and blue! Old Winter, thou art vain dost thou not see The maiden ties whene'er approached by thee Thy thy'wh'utling voice wings her light feet, With terror, to some sunny far retreat. Where thy cold breath can never chill again The birds and flowers rejoicing in her train. AH' the fur things that brighten in her smile Tanlsh away at thy cold presence. While Thou waJkesi through the park an! down th street, The little children who went out to meet Tfct Spring with merriment, ran back and say. With tears and that Spring has flown away.

And dreadful Winter has returned once more, And paces up and down before the door. Whene'er you go afield, across our hills. And through the meads and valleys, e'en the rills That laugh'd like tfBU 'nmuh the Spring's soft eye, Grow cold and dull all dark and still they lie. Go, Winter, go for ye can only fright 1 Warm Spring before ye, dropping, in her flight The tender blossoms, nourished by her To meet, beneath thy feet, a cruel death. Go, Wbitebeard I.

I THE SOUTHERN CONVENTION. The Southern Convention, assembled at Charleston, has at length adjourned. We had a reporter present during ita mwiodi. who diligently forward-' ed an account of everything said and done, including the debate with regard to his own exclusion an the reporter of the Tribune, but we hare not found substance enough in the proceedings to make them worth inserting in our columns, except as they were indicated by the brief telegraphic dispatches we haro published from day to day. But now that the comedy is over, it really seems no more than roper that we should pay a littlo attention to a inly which honored us so much, constituted as it was of so largo an array of gentlemen of distin- .1 1 guistiea aoility ana eminent worm, ana aaorneu it was by all the genial hospitality for which Charleston is so justly famous.

In sa doing, we desire to speak with the gravity and punctilio befitting the solemn assemblage of the chosen representatives of a dozen sovereign States. But. this, wo are sorry to nay, is no trifling task. Really it is hard to discuss with seriousness the proceedings of a body of speech-makers which gave so littlo evidence of 8eriouoness iu itself, as our readers may judge by recalling the propositions harangued upon. Of these, the following were among the more important 1.

To exclude the reporter of the Tribune, because we upeak plainly what all northern men think in their hearts, and endeavor to teach the South its duty and interest, not only as touching these frequent epileptic fits of aimless and useless Conventions, but also as regards the great curse of Slavery 2. To build a railroad to the Pacific by special southern combination as though the railroad could be helped forward an hour by all the palaver of the score of declaimers of the Convention 3. To trade directly from the South with Europe as though such direct 'trade-were not wanting simply because capital is wanting, and capital and slavery cannot go together in sufficient quantities to build up commercial cities New Orleans forming no exception, being simply an outlet for the great free western valley 4. To print their own books and make their own tools and machinery when Arts cannot flourish with Slavery, and inventive genius sickens and dies amid Chivalry. so that whether it be a Fitch, Evans, Fulton, Whitney, or Blanchard, the inventor must come from the North the South meanwhile having the monopoly of great men, that is, politicians with ex-, orhitant influence, growing out of the existence of an ignorant white population 5.

To open up a trade with the region of the Amazon, a river which flows parallel with the Equator, and whose banks are nearer like Danto's Inferno than anything else we know of, except that they are less populous hot, pestilential, serpent-haunted, insect-infested, death-dealing, nasty, and ridiculous to think of outside of the tropical poetry of a Southern Convention; 6. To establish a Commission of Three, composed of Gen. Scott, who has more brains than he gets credit and is a tall man. taller than the Emperor of Millard Fillmore, and of Judge Butler, of S. toprocee4 forthwith to Europe to act.

as mediators betwen Russia and her opponents, England and Franre 7. To hear a scientific exposition from Parson Brownlow of Tennessee, informing the world why young gentlemen chew cloves and cinnamon' which is to disguise the smell of liquor when sit next their sweethearts in pews, and also, a story from the same politico-economical orthodox expounder of a young lady who would not put her nrintnrough a jug-handle, as she called a certain Young America who was intemperate 8, 9 and 10, To cause water to run up hill, the Gulf Stream to go the back track, the laws of gravitation to cease, the canons of political economy to couie to an end, the virtue of the Declaration of Independence to vanish, the value of Industry and the respectability of Labor to be forgotten. Alas, Tor human infatuation We can smile at the absurdities of other countries and other ages, and moralize over political or religious delusions but here is a Convention which resolves that the South' must preponderate! That she must have capital Must have industry Must trade directly with Europe Must build up cities as the North lias Must trade with distant lands, and especially with Amazonia that perennial Jack-and-his-bcan of the ineffable Lieutenant Maury Must have a railroad to the Pacific when her present curse is the want of a concentrated and industrious population Must annex Cuba steal it, according to Parson Brownlow Well, the Convention has met and has parted has twaddled about capital and trade and progress and has sworn a new fealty to Slavery, and poverty, and weakness, and deterioration. So they will go on. They will meet, and meet, and meet and Norfolk and Charleston will remain villages and the 40,000 peopie just shown by the Virginia jour-nals to exist in that State ignorant of reading and writing, will increase and the people of small means, who must live by labor, will continue to desert the soil of Slavery for that of liberty and the 400,000 immigrants will pour into the Northwest and avoid the South more and more and the trade of the North-east and West will angroent along with their arts and manufactures, and polish and civilization.

Such is the sad and simple truth of this matter, and we utter it accordingly. We are sorry to have so disagreeable a duty to discharge, but it cannot be helped. It is plain what ails the South, but her politicians and journalists and convention eers retuse to see it. She languishes for want of varied industry mechanics alongside of farmers, artists, inyentors, savans but such men will not seek a slave-doomed country when liberty beckons them or holds them to free soil; And up to the timo that the South seriously prepares to abolish Slavery, she will remain inferior to the North in self-supporting power and all the elements of the progress she would emulate without adopting its conditions. The great secret of the astonishing growth and the immense resources of tho free States is nothing else than liberty and democracy.

Where they exist, fussy Conventions to encoura'ge and attract trade by long-winded and shallow speeches are not needed where they do not, a whole nation of orators might spout forever without the slight est eHoct. J. R. aXDDOYQS AND QERRIT SMITH. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Register.

April 28, 1854. A new kind of whale has been made known to the world hy the Scientific Convention now in session in cms city. Last evening, Lieut. Maury read a faper on the subject. This whale is about thirty eet long.

Of course, all this was not uttered in an hour. 3Ir. Smith professes to have elaborated his thoughts. I shall read his speech before my lamp goes out to-night: But I heard it spoken in brief, and that -was a happy privilege. I have never seen a man wnose presence is more im pressive; dignity without intelligence and genius without the seeming, consciousness of either; benevolence and courtesy, upon which no shadow ever seems to lau, ana a courage so con stant and unfailing that it never otjrfs the fuel of intolerance or anger to sustain These qualities are among the attributes of Gerrit Smith.

I do not know bis age, but would guess at fifty-four or six. His bill and well-developed form is quite erect, his features are all prominent, and tinged with a healthful, ruddy glow, and his dark penetrating eyes give assurance that it is possible for him at least to be wise as a serpent, though harm less as a dove. His smile, his manner, and his every gesture are all as natural and gentle as are ever mam tested ny a Doy ot twelve, let, when he speaks, none are inattentive to No man can prove regardless of the deep, rich, and thrilling tones of his voice. No man can for a moment fail to appreciate the thoughts he utters, in language all simplicity and dignity. Many smile at, and some deride the ultraism' of the sentiments he utters but these very men are among the foremost to acknowledge the greatness of his intellectual and moral nature, liis ultraism, however, is a matter of opinion among men.

The speech to which I have allude a contains by no means inapt specimens of this quality. Will not the readers of the Register obtain it, and read it attentively, and learn from it what it is to be an ultraist in these latter days It will be profitable for them to do so. They will learn that not only the early and purest teachers of Christianity wereultraits, but that George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and all the patriots who participated in the formation of the Constitution of this Republic, were ultraists also and they will learn, that to be a firm, decided, honest man, is ever to lie ultra. I never beheld Gerrit Smith until the assembling of tho present Congress, and I was then prepared, trom what 1 had heard, to look upon an ascetic dogmatist, an arbitrary man of cranks, and notions, and Never did I realize a more complete or a more eratifvin disannointment. I found in him a man whose identity I would not exenange tor that ot any other man upon whom my eyes have ever looked.

Correspondence of the Hartford Republican. Washington, April 28, 1854. Yesterday, Mr. Smith of Virginia, made a most unwarrantable attack upon the character of John Quincy Adams, in the House of Representatives. He also insulted Mr.

Giddings, lied about him, twitted him of having been censured by a previous Congress, for advancing outrageous anti-slavery doctrines, which he had never sinco dared to avow on that floor This afternoon, Mr. Giddings got the floor to reply to the attack of Mr. Smith, upon John Quincy Adams and himself. He proved that the irginian blackguard had deliberately uttered falsehoods in reference to himself. Smith is one of Pierce's whippers-in, and was one of the memorable set of scoundrels who voted to censure Mr.

Giddings but did not return to Congress for ten tears. Mr. G. reminded tho House of this, and gave it the true history of the vote of censure, and nis re-eiecuon to congress, hen ho sat down, smith arose and made the most insolent, the low est, meanest, most outrageous speech we ever lis tened to in our life. He abused the venerable Gid dings in language too venomous ever to be used in a pot-house begged the pardon of the House for calling Mr.

G. a gentleman insulted the whole North lauded slavery to the skies, and himself and his Southern confederates far above the skies Ave wished that the freemen of the North could have listened to his insolent remarks. Our blood ran hotly along our veins to hear such a man in the National Congress scoff at Liberty, lie about the apostles of Freedom, and talk about teaching the North decency. And there a little away sat Isaac Toucey, the cold-blooded Connecticut Senator in clique with such men, conniving at our dis- grace, and deliberately licking the dirty feet of the viginian aespot ror our part, we cannot see how it is possible for the North and South to cro on to gether much longer, if the representatives of the latter are ueterniinea upon every opportunity to abuse those men in the country, who yet believe in Human Rights. Slavery and Liberty are not compatible upon the same soil either Southern slave holders must desist from Slavery-propagandism, or disunion must ana had oettercome.

i.ne universal corruption which prevails here is Said one honest member of Congress to us yesterday: If the people knew the rottenness of this Congress the rascality of nine-tenths of the publio officers here they would rise en masse, and tear the scoundrels from their seats. The morality of many of the members, whatever it mar be at home is here below par. Gambling, cheating, licentiousness, and hard-drinking are their characteristics. While all manner of fraudulent claims are swindled through Congress each day, there are in Washing ton to-day, hundreds of poor, honest men, who ask in vain that their just claims be attended to. rich man with a forged claim stands a far better chance here than a poor man with a just We know one poor man here, whose grandfather sold the Revolutionary Army many thousands of dollars worth of cattle for beef, and who received in pay a certincate, or due-bill, to the amount from the Uom missaries of the Army, and yet that debt, though never denied to be just, has never yet been paid.

tnougn tne uardmer traud was pushed through Congress triumphantly, and Tom Corwin is now enjoying the fruits of his dishonest services render-J ed Gardiner. It is no wonder, when members of Congress show themselves possessed of no uprightness of character, that a weak and unprincipled President (for alas he has proved himself to oe sucu,) should attempt to bribe, threaten and cajole them into support of his favorite measures. No President ever yet lived, who would dare try to coax or scold such a man as L-hase or Uiddinga-Gerrit Smith or Tom Benton. JOHN MTTCHEL. At- -1 in ne siave states, mysterious silences succeeded the original brazen blast which announced the entrance of John Mitchel into the lists in defence of slavery.

The heralds of the Southern Press, long accustomed to greet with a flourish of trumpets any champion fool-hardy, base, or foolish enough to venture bis strength in defence of their bad cause, were dumb with surprise at the audacious note that announced the renegade, whom the world, till then, bad believed pledged to the service of Human Rights. The Southern silence was be coming awkward. The new Quixote, of slavery stood ungroeted unacknowledged with no face turned towards him that was not alive with eon-tempt, disgust, indignation ir pity, and no voice in his ears that did not cry out in mockery or grief at his miserable fanaticism of wickedness. The necessity of- doing something beiran to be felt and. at last we hear the tardy tones of the first fanfar onade ot exultation in honor of his toadying servility, and atrocious recantation of the res oec table rhetoric he once sounded in the service of Liberty.

So be it The slave power, as an act of political necessity alarmed expediency may take notice 'of him. and all base men, and things that wear the form of men, join to do Jiim the empty honor of "their applause but there is a Future, and no man has more reason to quake at heart, and dread the searching judgment of that incorruptible tribunal, where humanity may fearlessly assert ber outraged claims, and demand gibbets for the blackened fame of every knave who was cruel to the Human Cause, than John Mitchel. Commonwealth. AN. TTTAT FAILED.

They hung a man in Pittsburgh last month, under the mistaken notion that the State could stop people killing each other by killing one itself. The experiment proved a dead failure, as we could bare told them it would before they tried. The subject of the experiment was a hard drinker, who. beinz drunk, got into a fight last year in behalf of a friend, and killed a man with very little idea of what he was doing. So they bad him arrested, tried, "convicted, sentenced, reprieved, exhorted, prayed for, and finally bung.

The Dispatch gives the lolloping account oi tne sequel Our people are now pretty thoroughly convinced that hanging a man will neither prevent grog shops sellimr Honor to madden others, young -men from drinking it, nor drunken ruffians from cutting the throats of their fellow-men. On Friday, 24th David Jewell was hanged for murder and before two weeks had elapsed, our columns recorded no less than seven persons stabbed. one of them since dead, and another inortally in jured! In Birmingham, one man was killed, and two others cut, on the very night of Jewell's exe cution in the same borough, Officer Smiley, while in tne execution oi nis ouiy at a lire, received a wound from a knife from some ruffian. Soon after, in the Fifth Ward, a man cut his friend's throat by mistake, in his drunken fury. Again, in day time, a negro let out another's bowels, in the Sixth Ward and on Thursday night of last week, in a grog shop in the First Ward, a notorious rowdy in- uicteu neariy a uozen stans upon an acquaintance, because he declined drinking with him.

Such is an outline of the cutting and slashing in our during the two weeks immediately fol lowing an execution which thousands really be lieved would strike terror to the "rowdies of tbit community I It is useless to repeat, that the hang ing of Jewell has had no effect whatever in check ing the crime of which he was convicted, nor need we enlarge upon the reason of such a result. when will the community understand, it is the promptness, and especially the certainty of punishment, which can alone restrain the hand that is ready to imbrue itself in a brother's blood and that no such promptness, no such certainty, can be had where the punishment is death In every one of the cases of stabbing we have been called upon to record, since the execution al luded to, the perpetrator had been drinking intoxicating liquors until maddened. We often hear grave, prudent, conservative citi zens shake their heads over the folly of conceited youngsters, who will try experiments aimed the 2 A. 1 1 1 improvement oi social relations or conaiuous which they ought to know will fail, because such always have, failed yet here is this oldest of all disastrous experiments the Licensing of men to seH Rum, and then Hanging those who drink it, and are madden- ed by it into imbruing their hands in blood which has always failed, always will, always must fail and yet some people will persist in having it repeat ed and persevered in, as thoogh it were certain to succeed next time Nav we have a Governor in this State, who of himself upholds the Licensing and superintends the Hanging Was there ever before such fatuity? Tribune. Christian Forgiveness.

In Pittsburgh, Penn a man named Jewell was recently hung by the neck till he was dead, for killing another man while drunk. For twenty days before his execution, he was kept in irons that weighed ninXy pounds so say the papers and the same powers that con deinned and murdered him, went through with the solemn mockery of appointing a priest to prepare him lor heaven and though they did not get him so far converted but that they thought it best to keep him in irons to the last, they took upon them selves the terrible responsibility of cutting short the time for repentance which God gave hi ov launching him into eternity This is the kind of forgiveness practised by modern Christians men who protess to make the forgiving Nazarine their pattern! Nearly all the various churches, in the nation believe in dealing thus with their erring brethren and ministers are the most strenuous ad vocates of the gaUows! The churches unite in li censing men to sell spirituous liquors, and then unite to murder or otherwise punish those who commit crimes under the influence of strong drink The members of churches do this as much as other people, "and then call me a blackguard on ly because 1 say that, notwithstanding all their high professions, their practices prove them to be the synagogues of Satan. now long will such ignorance, and such worse than barbarous practice, prevail I What horrible mockery, to profess to be the followers of Christ, having power to cast out devils, then sell to their brethren liquors that fill them with devils, and then punish them for crimes which the devils instigate them to commit From such religion, may the Lord deliver us. Portland Pleasure Boat. THE FUNCTION OF THE QOSPEI In a Discourse recently delivered at Washington, by Rev.

Henry Ward Beecher, the speaker said It is the function of the Gospel to remove all evil in the moral world. True, it begins with individuals, but nations can be made to feel its power. If there is no medicine in the Gospel for nations, then they must die. Faithful ministers must preach this Gospel in all its power. And they must ex- Eect to meet trouble.

If they fear it, then they had etter die at once, and go to Heaven if they can. A true minister must know no fear. lie must be a warrior. He must not preach to please the Justice of the Peace or the Senate. He must go forth and attack wrong wherever he finds it.

Does he say that is perilous Why, it is perilous to live. When preachers shall do their duty faithfully, there will be less dogs to bark. They are told to mind their own business, and not be meddlers. But the minister who never creates any agitation, is like the husbandman who never plows, because he may rip up some old roots. It is a peculiarity of the Gospel, that it don't mind its own business.

It is aggressive. It don't wait for Man to come to it for relief, but it goes out to find Man, wherever he if- A Church may have all truth in its creed, but if it sets on its egoless nest and never incubates, it is just as dead as its opposite neighbor, that believes in all manners of error. Preaching is substance in life. A bullet must1 have powder behind it, or it is dead matter. If men needed only argument, analysis, and deductions, then the Bible alone would be enough.

But the object of preaching is not to build up a oreed or a system, but to remove sin and evil. The Churches of the present day, disputing about the correctness and tendency of different articles of faith, reminded him of a number of workmen assembled to erect a building. They begin to compare their saws, disputing which has the best temper their chisels, contending which is the sharpest and their axes, boasting of the skill and fame of the makers but never strike a blow or make a tenon towards the erection of the edifice. The ministers of these churches think it so sweet and genteel to attack sin indirectly. There was meaning in the declaration of Jesus, that he cam to send a sword, and not peace.

The Savior wants stout, brave men, not gentlemen in silk stockings and kid gloves. Their preaching must be bold and applicatory. The Gospel, it is true, is very inconvenient to sinners, but it must be preached, so that drunkards, stingy crabbed souls, unjust men, and oppressors, will feel that it is after them. Sometimes the men in the pews are impelled to speak out against wrong, but their pastor tell them it is not prudent. If I (said Mr.

bad a Gospel like that, I would throw it overboard. 1 would never preach to please the pews. There are congregations of men who build splendid edifices, with rich pulpits, handsomely carpeted aisles, well cushioned pews, splendid organ, and have very respectable choirs but don't call such Churches of Christ call them Odd Fellows Mutual Insurance Companies anything respectable, but churches. The preachers to these congregations batter away at erroneous creeds, but let drunkenness and oppression go. A true minister should understand the people, and should preach to them as a lawyei pleads with jury, having a point always in view.

The times demand more courage, more fidelity and The sizas are propitious that a better dv is dawning. It in always darkest just before day. The Church must come and take sides against i -1 i i wrung ana evil, vnrisu.iuuy is not seiusn is universal. Nations must be mado to feel its power. It must be felt, and in the halls of legislation.

A New Underground Railroad to Canada. Mrs. Mary Afflick was arrested in Louisville on the 7th ultimo, and tried on a charge of aiding a negro to es cape be slave belonged to lr. Gross. The Courier gives the following account of the method of procuring passage over this new underground railroad Tickets are bought at the JrnersonviIIe railroad office, then handed over to the negro that is ready to elope the omnibus calls for him about daybreak, and, ensconced in that, he rides to the ferry and across the river to the depot, whence he is rapidly whirled away by steam into the interior of Indiana.

This is the latest and cutest abolition dodge, and appears to have worked successfully until ihe arrest of the woman in question.
