All night above their rocky bed Tlrey saw the stars inarch slow;

The wild Sierra overhead. The desert's death balaw.

The Indian from his lod^e of bark, The grey bear from hf* den,

Ueyolid their camp-tire's" wall of dark, Glared on the mountain men.

Still upwsrd turned, witW anxious strain. Their leader's sleepless'eye,

Where splinters of the njotlntain chain Stood black against tan sky.

The night waned slow: at last a glow. A gleam of sudden tire,

Shot op behind the walls nf snow, ABd tipped each icy spiVe.

"tTp rneo!'" he cried, "yon* rocky comb, 'l'o-day, please God, we'K pass,

And loofc from Winter's frozen home On Summer's flowersaud grass!'

They set their faces to the blast, They trod th' eternal sucw.

And faint, worn, bleeding, hailed at last Tbe promised land below.

Behind, they Raw the snow-cloud tossed By many an icy horn;

Before, warm valleys, wood-embossed, And green with vines and corn.

They left tbe Winter at their baefcs, To flap his baffled wing.

And downward, with the cataracts, Leaped to the lap of Spring.

Strong leader of that mountain band! Another task remaius.

To break from Slavery's desert land A path to Freedom's plains.

The winds are wild, the way is drear, Yet, flashing through the night

Lol icy ridge and rocky spear Blaze nut in morning light!

Mr. Adams' (ot Miss., a Know Nothing of the Pierce-Buchanan sctool) motion to striko out tho clav.se giving tho right ol suffrage to all perons who shall have filed their declaration of intention to become citizens of the United States, in compliance with the naturalization laws, was adopted, and with that K.

Mr. Adams is a Mississippi slave holder, and his amend­ment, though well known to be one of the fundamental principles of the K. N. partly, was in the bill, the report says, as it passed the Senate.

The bill is similar to Mr, Toomb's bill. It provides for calling a convention to for» a State cons'itution for Kansas, the clcctios to be held on the first Ttiesday in Novem­ber. The Convention is to. meet on the first Monday in December, so that tho con­stitution may be adopted and the State admitted at the next session of Congress.
