TU? Yoong Bride's Dream, BY3. r.a. The young bride she ii dreaming, Ah! who that dream can toll? It may be of aome loved one '5 Ere falsehood broke the spell;, It may bo of tho bride-groom, 3 Who watohes by her side, JBLj. ' .1 And deems she must he happy Because sho is his bride. Ohl if that be her dreaming, Ma> time ne'er broak the spell; Bat ?he tejir* ?ow in her clumber, And who that dream can tell? The.young bride she is dreaming1, Of the future, or the past? But she'll wake, and smiles around her Like a ray of sunshine cast; Her pride will keep her silent, She may speak of other themes, But her lips will never whisper What she wept for in her dreams. THE I.AB1P OF ST. ;TTJ8T. Not qnite a century since, there might have been seon in the ohurch of St. Just, at Narbonne, a large and magnificent silver lamp, which ooou pied the centro of the ohapel, to tho right of tho tomb of Philip the Bold, and the flame of which was fed by the purest perfumed oil. The care of this lamp was never confided to coarse or vulgar hands; some young abbe of good family was always tho guardian of its flame, and it showed its splendid workmanship and con? stant light until somewhere about the year 1784, when it was stolen no one could tell how. It was re? placed by a large wax-taper, which, however, although never allowed to burn out before being renewed, did not exoite the same enthusiasm in the minds of the faithful as the pre? cious lamp had done, and, in the year 1760, the votivej taper was ex? tinguished forever. I nave known some old persons who remember both the lamp and the taper, and from whom I have gathered the fol? lowing details regarding the former: On the 12th of February, 1347, to? wards mid-night, a young officer, scarcely nineteen-years old, followed by four armed horsemen, halted be? fore the door of Lubiano Marrechi, a Lombardo Italian merchant, estab? lished in the city of Narbonne. As the door was not opened at the first summons, the officer ordered that it should be forced; and his men had dismounted, and were already begin? ning to make some impression on the stout iron-bound planks, when they heard tho sound of bolts being drawn back, and presently a key turned in tho ponderous look, and tho chevalier and his men found themselves in a flagged passage, only lighted by a dim iron lamp. Fronting the in? truders was a little common-looking old man, with keen, restless eyes, whioh, with one glance, took note ol everything. Ho and his untimolj visitors stood for a second or twe looking at each other; but before s word was spoken on either side, c door further down the passage wa: flung open, and a tall young ghi, but half-clad, as though she had beer startled from hor sloop, and had taken but little thought for her ap? pearance, rushed to the young officer, whose face was completely in shadow, and easting her arms around hi: neck, with a cry of joy, she said: "Ah! art thou come, my Joez' How I have looked for theo! Anc even in my sleep I heard and knev far off the tread of thy noble horse and the heavier feet of the mules.' The words had been hurriedly spoken, and they had scarcely pass?e her lips, when she loosed her hold o tho young man, for the sharp stee ornaments of the officer's cuirass hac wounded her bare arm; and looking into the stranger's face, with a be wildered and terrified gaze, she fol trembling on a narrow bench, cover ed with black leather, murmuring, a she tried to draw her scanty draper more closely around her-"Ah! it wa' not my Joez I" "No," replied tho young man, " am not Joez of Cordova, tho hand some young merchant of purpl cloth; andi am not come to brini his magnificent wedding presents t his betrothed, Diana Marrechi. am Jean de Lille-Jourdain, and I ai come to exeouto the orders of th King of France." "Go, Diana," said the old mei chant, "shut yourself into you chamber, /can do the honor of ou poor house to tho Sieur de L?h Jourdain." The young man laughed. "Alic me to tell you," he said, "that froi this hour neither you nor yon rs hav any longer either ohamber or house In the nnmo of the king, I am con: to tell yon that all your goods, 0 your wealth, belong to you no mor Your porson is seized, and your pr perty confiscated." "You are mad," said oldMarreoh holding the light to Jean's taco, "< rather, you are only a beardless bo; playing a dangerous game. Tal care ! We'are under the special pr tection of the consuls of the city, ai .their s?rjeauts have more than on< punished a noble chevalier for ha mg exceeded his warrant. Here my license, which has cost me U golden orowns, and whioh gives n permission to soil and buy as please. Leave me, then, in peace, I shall call the city guard, and th< will not let you off so easily." "Come here, my men," said tl officer, in a dry, mocking ton "Make this old Lombard muer u derstand that King Philip is pleas to take all his wealth, in order indemnify hi? sacred majesty for tue want of subsidies which the Stetes of the Languodoo have dared to re? fuse him." ? The .soldiers rushed on the old man, -who, half strangled and wholly desperate, could scarcely believe that he was not the sport of some fright? ful dream-for the secret of tho con? templated measures had been "well kept, anu nono bat those entrusted with their exeoution, knew anyth?Dg of them till tho unforseen blow foll like a thunder-bolt on the unfortu? nate victims. Diana sat motionless where she had oast herself, down, heedless of the icy wind which Sierced her thia covering, and of the ead cold of the bare flags which froze her little feet. Her blaok, dilated eyes were fixed on Jean, and it was only when Bb o heard a sharp ory from her father, that the gaze wavered even for an instant. "Heaven have mercy on us! What is to become of us?" cried the old man. "I can tell you that,"repliod Jean. .'You, as the head of the family, are to be shut up in a dungeon with all the Lombards of the country, where you can moan and die toge? ther, unless at some distant time it may please the king to chango his mind." "And my house!" cried tho old man, writhing. "What will become o? my house? And my treasures! and my merchandize ! When I am away, what will become of thom?" "I can satisfy you there, also," said Jean. "We are going to take your keys, make an inventory, and lock all up. Oh ! bo at peace as to your hoards. Tho king's agents will find out and take good caro of every? thing." Misfortune seemed to succeed each other so rapidly, that tho miserable old maa had not till this moment thought again of his daughter. With a start, os if he had recoived a saddeu wouud, ho turned towards her. "Just Heaven!" he exclaimed. "And my child? my daughter?" "She will be hunted from the city with the wives and daughters of your brethren. " "Huated!" cried tho old man, struggling in his bonds. "Yes, hunted; and this very hour, hunted like a dog!" replied Jean. These words seemed to rouse Diana from her stupor. She rose suddenly, and, grasping the officer's arm, look? ed into his face." "Ah, you are yoong. You cannot be quite heartless!" she said, ia her rich, passionate voice. "Where will Joez find me, if you hunt me away this night?" Jeau looked at her. He had scarce? ly uoticed her before, aud he now saw that she was a lovely young crea? ture, with all tho beauty of her Ilalinn blood. Her long black hair waved over her bare shoulders and fell below her waist-a regal mantle; her slight but graadly outlined form was scarcely concealed by the thia liueu drapory she wore; a hectic spot burned on her cheek, aud her white face, pure ia its liaos as that of an antique statue, was a wild prayer for mercy. "By my faith! Joez may fiad yon where ho can," answered oae of tho soldiers, feariog, from the expressiou of his officer's face, that he was about to releat. "Remember, Siear Jeao, that we have thirteou visits like this to pay to-aight, aad we shall never have doae if we allow ourselves to bo melted by the tears aad prayers of all the Lombard women we have to turu out." "You are right," said Jean, slowly aud sadly. "Go, my girl-make Sourself ready. You are to be seea eyood tho gates of the city." "Mercy for her at least, my lord!" shrieked Lubiaae. "Mercy for my teador child! Tho so ow is f allia g. To tura her out into tho opea coun? try, ia the darkuess of night, aad at this seasoa, will be to murder her. Do not huat her from tho city." "Oh, do uot! do aot! for your mo? ther's sake!" cried Diaaa, kneeling. "Leave me this eight ia Naboane. I shall sit ou tho door step of our de? serted house, damb aad motionless as a corpse. I will speak to no oae, say aothiag, nor stir oace, till my Joez comes. I oxpect him this uight. If ho has aot come before day, I shall have died of grief aad misery ; aud when they shall fiad my dead body-I who was to have beeu so happy-they will not reproach you for having had pity oa me. Oh, my lord! hear me! Iamsoyoung! And i Joez and I, we have loved each other [ ?ince I was-oh, always, always! You love or you will love some youag . loving creature, who will love you all the more for your mercy ou mo. Havo pity oa me this night, aad let > uot those mea lav' their haads ou , me." i Jean was conquered. He laid his . haod geotly oa the girl's shoulder, I and the tears shone iu his eyes. He i was oa the poiat of grautiug her his . protection, wheu all at ooce the j tramp of horses was heard, aud the i red light of torches shone iuto the ) passage. [ Diana thought her lover had come, r and rushed to tho door, but it was not j he; and as the new-comers halted be? fore the door, Jean's fr arno trembled 3 with rage and fear at the tones of a . mocking voice, the voice of Galois de . la Baume, his father's enemy and his i own." > "Ah!" said the insolent toaes, "it ?s ?any to ?ce we aro near tho Sieur de Lille-Jourdain. Whatever may be the ordere of the king, ho will take his own time and his own way of doing things. A worthy son of a worthy father! Instead of obeying urgent- commands, hs dniiies the night away with pretty Lombard girls. How good God is tc ixaiUnsY' Jean felt that De la Baume, who had denounced his (Jean's) father, in order that he might succeed to the old noble's lieutenancy-general of Narbonne, would not fail to add Jean's hesitation and delay to the list of accusations he had invented. A selfish fear closed bis heart ngaint Diana, who clung, sobbing, to him. He shook himself free from her, but she sank on her knees before him. With a last effort of his will he re? pulsed her rudely with his foot, and turning away, ordered his soldiers to hasten. The girl prayed that they would kill her, rather than drive her forth; but prayers wore useless now, and the poor creature lay half faint? ing on the flags. The soldiers finish? ed their work, and dragged her and Lubiana into the street. "Adieu, my daughter, adiou!" cried tho old mau, as they were being dragged in different directions; "would to God thou hadst died be? fore me!" At these words, tho girl raised her? self, and looking round at Jean with a flashing eye, she said: "Adieu, my father! I no longer wish to die. 1 will live now, that I may meet him again." And she pointed to Jean, who only heard in these words tho impotent threatenings of a desperate creature. Father and daughter were sepa? rated forever, and tho street be? fore tho old merchant's house was, in ten minutes, ns dark and silent as though no such drama of agony and passion had been enacted there. Fifteen months from that night, Jean do Lille-Jourdain was seated on an ottoman at tho feet of the beauti? ful Bosselinde de la Baume. Jean was relating to his betrothed his first adventures, and tho stirring scenes through which he had passed; and tho mother of Jean, tho proud Isa? bella do Levis, allowing her em broiderv to lie unheeded in her lap, smilingly watched the young pair. It was indeed a charming group. The young girl was fair as a lily, and of a fairy-like stature and form. Her soft white dress, and the azure ribbons which ornamented it, were thrown into a strong relief by the deep couch of carved ebony and dark velvet on which she reclined. And Jean, almost kneeling before her, his locks and eyes as dark as hers were golden and blue, his figure as manly and full of strength as hers were fragile, was exactly the contrast need? ed to give full effect to her delicate beauty. Tho girl scarcely heeded what nor lover said; it was his voice, and not the subject of his words, for which her heart thirsted. And the lady of Lille-Jourdain might well 8milo on her work, for this was tho eve of Jean's wedding-day, and his mother knew that by her tact and management she had, in bringing about this marriage, ended forever the old and bitter feuds of centuries which had divided the lords of Lille Jourdain and De la Baume.

OT THE Democratic National Convention. The Democratic party, in National Con veution assembled, reposing its traut in tho intelligence, patriotism and discrimi? nating justice of the people-standing upon, we Constitution aa. the foundation and limitation of tho powers of thu Go? vernment, and tho guarantee of thc liber? ties of tho citizen, and' recognizing tho questions of slavery and secession as having been settled, for' all time to come, by the war, or the voluntary action of tho Southern States, in Constitutional Con? ventions assembled, and nover to be re? newed or ro-agitatod, do, with tho return of peace, demand: 1st. Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union, under the Constitution, and of civil government to tho American pooplo. 2d. Amnesty for all past political offence, and tho regulation ol the elective franchise in tho States by their citizens. 3d. Payment of the public debt of tho Unitod States as rapidlv as practicable; all moneys drawn from the people by tax? ation, except so much aa is requisito for tho ncceseitiOH of tho Government, econo? mically administered, being honestly ap? plied "to such payment; and, where* tno obligations of tho Government do not expressly stato upon their face, or thc law under which they nero issued dora not provide that luey shall be paid in coin, they ought, ir- right and in justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United States. 4th. Equal taxation of every species of property, according to its veal value, in clmling Government bonds and other pub I lie securities. 5th. Ono currency for the Government and tho people, the* laborer and the office? holder, tho pensioner and thc soldier, tho producer and tho bond-holder. 6th. Economy in tho administration of the Government; the reduction of tho standing army and navy; tho abolition of tho Freedmen's Bureau, and al\, political instrumentalities designed to secure negro supremacy; simplification of thc svstem and discontinuance of inquisitori? al modes of assessing and collecting inter? nal revenue, ao that thc burden of taxa? tion may bo equalized and lessened, tho ? credit of the Government and the curren? cy made good; tho repeal of all enact? ments for enrolling the State militia into national forcea in time of peace; and a tariff for revenue upon foreign imports, and such equal taxation, under thc inter? nal rovenuo laws, as will afford incidental protection to domestic manufactures, and as will, without impairing the revenue, impose tho leaat burden upon and best promote and encourage the great indus? trial intorcsts of thc country. 7th. Refoim of abuses in the administra? tion, the expulsion of corrupt men from office, the abrogation of useless offices, tho restoration of rightful authority to and tho independence of tho executive and judiciary departmonta of tho Govern? ment, the subordination of the military to the civil power, to tho end that the usurpations of Congress and the despot? ism of the sword may cease. 8th. Equal rights and protection foi naturalized ann native-born citizens, at home and abroad; the assertion of Ameri? can nationality which shall command thc respect of foreign powers, and furnish ar example and encouragement to people struggling for national integrity, consti? tutional liberty and individual rights; auc the maintenance of the rights ol natural ?zed citizons against tho absolute doctrine of immutable allegiance and the claims o: foreign powers to punish them for alleged crirno committed beyond their jurisaic tion. In demanding these measures and re formB, we arraign the radical party for it! disregard of right, and tho unparalleled oppression and tyranny which have mark ed its career. After tho most solemn an( unanimous pledge of both Houses of Con gress to prosecute the war exclusively fo the maintenance of the Government an< tho preservation of tho Union, uuder th Constitution, it has repeatedly violatei that most sacred pleclgo, uuder whit-] alono was rallied that noblo voluntee army, which carried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring tho Union, it nae so far as is in its power, dissolved it, an subjected ton States, in times of profoum peace, to military despotism and negr supremacy. It has nullified there the right of trii by jury; it ha3 abolished tho iiabeas coi pu?, that most sacred writ of liberty; has overthrown the freedom of speech an tho proas; it has substituted arbitrai seizures and arrests, and military tria and secret star-chamber inquisitions fe tho constitutional tribunals; it has disr garded, in time of peace, tho right of tl people to be freo from searches and sei: tires; it has entered tho post audtelegrar offices, and even the private rooms of ii dividuals, and seized their private pape: and letters, without any specific charge i uotice of affidavit, as required hy the o gauic law; it has converted the Amener capitol into a bastile; it has establislied system of spies and official espionage which no constitutional monarchy of E rone would now dare to resort; it has ab belied tho right of appeal on importai constitutional quostiona to tho auprer judicial tribunals, and threatens to cr tail or destroy its original jnriedictio which is irrevocably vested by tho Consi tution, whilo the learned Ohlei Justi has boon subjected to tho most atrocio calumnies, merely because ho would n prostitute his high offico to tho support the falso and partizan chargea preferr against the Presidont. Its corruption a extravagance have exceeded anvthi known in history, and by its fraud? a monopolies it has nearly doubled tho bi den ot tho debt created by the war. It h stripped the President of"his constitute al power of appointment even of his 0^ Cabinet. Under its repeated assanlta, t pillara of the Government aro rocking their baae, and should it succeed in > vember next, and inaugurate its Preside; wc will meet, as a subjected aud conquer people, amid tho ruins of liberty and t scattered fragmenta of tho Constitute and wo do declare and resolve that, ei since the people of the United Sta threw off all subjection to tho Brit; crown, tho privilego and trust of snffrs havo belonged to the several 8tatcs, a ! havo been grantod. regulated and ci trollod exclusively by tho political pov of each State respectively, and that a > attempt by Congress, on any pretext wb ever, to deprive any State of this right, to interfere with its exercise, is a fiagri usurpation of power which can find warrant in the Constitution; and, if sa tioned by the people, will subvert our fo of Government, and can only end i single centralized and consolidated < vernment, in which the separate existe: of tho States will be entirely absorbed, i an unqualified despotism be eatablis) in placo of a Federal Union of co-oq ' States; and that we regard the roconstr tion Acts (so-called) of Congress as si are usurpations, and unconstitutional, i vohitionary, and void; that our soldi I and sailors, who carried tho tug of country to victory against a moat gallant and determined foo, muat ever be grate? fully remembered, and all tho guarantees given in their favor muat be faithfully car? ried into execution. That tho public landa should be distri? buted ss widely as possible among thc people, and should be disposed of either under tho preemption of homestead landy, aud Kuid in reasonable quantities, and to none but actual occupants, at the mini? mum prico eatablished by the Government. When grants of the public landa may be allowed, necessary for the encouragement of important public improvements, tho proceeds of tho sale of such lands, and not the lands themselves, should bo so ap? plied. That the Prosident of the United States, Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of his high office in resisting tho aggres? sions of Congress upon the constitutional rights of the StateB and tho people, ?B en? titled to the gratitude of tho whole Amer! can poopie, and in behalf of the Democra? tic party, wo tender him our thanks for his patriotic efforts in that regard. . Upon this platform, the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all the conservativo clement and all who de? sire to support the Constitution and re etoro tho Lnion, forgotting all past differ? enced of opiuion, to uuito with us in the present great atrugglo for tho liberties of the people; and that to all such, to what? ever party they may have heretofore be? longed, wc extend the right hand of fel? lowship, and bail all such co-opernting with US ?? friends and brethren.
