A SU.M3-ER SHOWER.
BY R 5. S.. ASDtOs.
How beautiful!-an hour since, and the sky
Was as the azure of somse fair child's eye,
Bathed in tranqility... One little cloud,
With edges of bright gold. appeared alone
In the far west, above you hill-top thrown,
Like qiteenly.mantle or imperial shroud
inwrought with silver.: Not a leaf was stirred,
So still was all the air, -arid in the suit
The watere were a inyrror, wherein one
Alight albnot.ltear the insect's.wing. The bird
Fold"d her pinion.tin the darkest place
Of all the wood; and even the butterfly,
Whose tiny wing is ever on the race,
And the adventurons bee, whose wondrous
eve
Suipp1ies the gift of reason, in the flower
Sat motionless; nor ever did a sound
Break on the silence of the sabhath hour.
But nw, how changed !-one hall the heavens
around
h garmented in clouds; and from the west.
Slowly nptising, mass on mass is pressed,
Shronding the sun, and o'er the distant hill,
Waving thick shadows, dark & deep as night;
While to the east the sky is cloudless still,
A nd wood and vale are bathed in li ving light,
Unbroken and serene. But. list! the air
Breathes gently through the leaves, and now,
behold!
The clituds come driven ott, like chariots
rolled
id Iteavei. The darkness thickens-here and
there
The waters break in ripples, and the trees.
Moved by the winds,ntteratrniige sympholties
he storm.go d's triumwph-mtarch. And look ye !
now
Aross the plain. antd o'er the iill's dark brow,
See how the thick mist gathems. Ilark! the
sonnd
As.of a rushing wind, histant yet load,
Comles tirontgh tih stilly air. and I ! around
The whole horizon settles the dark cloud,
Where all was light but now-Hush ! 'tis the
rain! -.
ft comes-it cones-see, where it strikes the
lake,
Drop slowly after drop, and how in vain
Te circles chase each iithier till they break
ULTpn the pebbly shore. Aiid itow again
1lTo unchlatined winds with bonler voices rush
A mtoment round, tant] now the w.atersm gushl

Were shiakent by tin a my's going fiorth. .

MEETtG OF TIlE. DEMOCRATIC RLPUB
LICAt AssocIATIoN.
Te meeting of this . Associationl on
Tuesday evetning last, was o'ne of the most
gratifyitg exhibitions of the unabated
siirit of the Democracy that has ever been
witnessed in this "time honored" city of
true Democra'ie spirit. Before the hour
hd arrived the immnense Hallin o neeting
street, w.as well filled, and when th'e hour
had ;rrived for the busiiabss'of the evetn
ig every portion of the room was (illed
t overfowitng. Numbers wvere forced to
depart, fritm the impossibility of their get
ting even asiaht into the interior of the
Hall. The greatest enthusiasm, tand ut.s
mst harmony characterized. the whole
procedings, from the opening to ihe close
of the mneetinig. At 8 o'clock, B. R. Car
roll, Esq., w as called to the Chair, and
organized the mneetinig.
Before taking the Chair, Mr. Carroll
said, he tmust be permitted to tender his
sincere thanks for the distinguishled honor
ofrreda upon so yvnn a man as himself.
He considered it an honor to be proud of
not that he was so weak as to flatter him
self it was conferred on account of any
particular estimatiod the meeting would
place upon him; but because the call pla
ced hirn in a position of public identifica
tion, withi the first. movement of an asso
ciation, whose principles.were so. entirely.
in accordance with his own, and whose
proceedings, he believed, were so certainly
destined to illustrate the .very life and
spirit of true Democratic .ftepublic.anisnt.
Afier developing the plans of the Asso
ciation, and amplifying upon its principles,
Mr. Carroll drew, in a style of happy hu
mor, a picture, of the plans and. move
ments of the Clay Club. He showed
how they were organized all over the coun
try, and admonished Democrats to take a
lesion from the euthusiasm of the Whigs.
Ho said only a fewdays since, Henry Clay
had. been received. into our city, and
marched through its principal streets un
der triumphal arches, and showers of gar
lands and victorious wreaths-when only
a few years ago, every son of the South
was ready to hang him in effigy, and make
a bonfire of his political speeches and
setitments. All this homage to Mr. Clay
was very well understood here-but it was
not well to ret-e go unexplained abroad.
He said the symbol of the Whig. party
was no unmeaning one. It was the "old
coon"-a sly, cunning, sneaking animal
-that was afraid even to steal a persimon
in the day time-fearful lest the hawk or
eagle might pounce upon it.. It was even
too cautious to attack the sluggish, inan
imate oyster, except in the night time.
least it. might be caught by sone other
antimnal.. So it was with the Whig party
of Charleston.. While the hospitality of
our citizens was excited,. and while each
democrat's. bosom. was., open. and unsus
pecting, they would creep. into our.citadel
and win for themselves.a stealthy victory.
But he rejoiced to see that the Democrats
were not enervated at their recent slum
blers. They were again awake and had
broadly unfurled their banner. ...The Pal
metto was once more erect, with its ten
thousand roots set in Carolina soil, and its
trunk supported by thrice ten thousand
Carolina.arms. lie was rejoiced thus to
see the Democracy gathering. under the
branches of that consecrated tree, and
behind the shield of.iis.body he hoped to
see it, in 1844, re-consecrated in. our affec
tions, by a victory, not less glorious for.the
Democracy, thaon, that- won by Moultrie
Marion and Jasper, in 1776. After a very
happy exhibition of eloquence and humor.
which was received with enthusiastic
cheering, -. Mr., Carroll. pronounced' the
meeting organi:ed for buisiness, and invited
such as:were disposed to do so, to come
forward and sign the Constitution of the
Association.:
At this almost every individual in the
room, rose to accept the invitation, when
the crowd being so great, it was suggested
to leave copies of the constitution on the
morrow, at the different offices of our daily
papers for signatures. to suit the conven
ience of thiose who could not approach the
table on account of the immense crowd
that had gathered around it. . .
The lion. H. L. Pinckney was loudly
called for, when that gentleman caine for
ward and addressed the meeting, as will
be found below.. Throughout his speech
he was animated by applause, the most
spirit stirring and cheering, and concluded
by an appeal' to the Association, which
was tnet by a response of loud and long
continued applause :- .
Mr. Pinckuey began by alfudiiig to Mr.
Clay's reception by the whig pasty, which
had roused the democracy from their leth
tirgy, and.inspired them with greater de
votion than ever to their principles. fe
spoke of Mr. Clay's *eectioneering; tour
through the country, adfd contrasted it with,
the digtnifir.d' conduct of Mr. Calhoun. and
Mr. Van Butren, and. of all those republican
statesmen who have illustrated the office
of chief mnagistratte hye their virtues- and
their. talents. Hie reviewed Mr. Clay's
poiiical eareei from the tirr~e hsdoderied
the republican party, sad took ofieo under
.ohn: Quincy Adams, to tho present time,
shewing that duritng all that period, he has
been connected u ith a party inimical .to
thme south, and wvhose political principles
are directly subversive of the federal con
stiution. lle spoke of the greet self com
placency with which M r. Clay expatiated
upo his gracious condescension ingtv~tg
the compromise act to South Carolina, as
anm act of liberality., and sihawed conclu
sively, that,so far from deserving any
credit for that mneasure. hte was compelled .
to give it, and thtat he himself had ac
knowledged that he did give it, "as .a
matter of necessity," but that, even thectr
he wvould not give the compgromise unless
it were accompanied by the forcebill, and
that he sent the olive branch iattended by
the thunderbolt, for the purpose of assert-:
ing the absolute suprermnacy of the1fedeWal
government over the S tates,.andybhe 'righti
of that government to drench' Q9arolinia
iii blond.: lHe showed iat sdmen'Jength,
that the democratic ts tthe Amrns, and
the federal the Bittaliparty of the coun
try-thtat the democrattc are friendly to.
sou herp: rights and tastitutions, and -the.
federal o poded to them. He showed thist
