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.

THE PLATFORM
. 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
