SILENT ELOQUENCE.
There is an eloquence unheard,
Tbat steals upon tbe sense of sight: '
Tbe inmost soul of man is stirr'd,
And fancy wiogs its joyous Sight,
More pleasingiibao the gingling sound
That echoes forth from merry ilivme,
'Tis lather to tbe thought proluund,
Aud bears on iuflueuce sublime.
-This silent eloquence is seen
Iu friendly smiles aud lovely looks-
It is, whatever it bas been,
The potent themes done np in books—
Tbe noble actions of mankind,
Tbat cast their brilliant beams around,
Wbich rest upon the human mind
Far sweeter than the seuse of sound,
Tbe eloquence that speaks aloud,
Iu sentences most fiuely wrought,
Tbat never fails to charm tbe crowd,
Springs fiom the silent gem of thought;
But tbis is eloquence unseen.
Enshrouded with a mystic pall—
The Hihger Powers intervene—
'Tis wholly iudiscribable.
The beauties ofthe sylvan grove,
Tbe trandeur of the mountain-height,
Tbe twinkling orbs that shine above.
In the serenity of night,
Awake the song-inspired boy,
And there the sources are Irom whence
Genius derives its inward joy—
The fruits of silent eloquence.
John H. Weaver
We are convinced that the poet who wrote the
following lines is a "sympathizer," if, indeed, he
is not a down-right "rebel" in his heart.
O. Abe Lincoln he jokes,
And Seward he smokes,
At old Johnny Bull o'er the water,
Both swear that tbis nation
Shall whip all creation,
While also the rebels wh slaughter,
Oho, they smoke!
Oho, they joke I
While the people tbey lead on to slaughter.

Reasons for Renominating Lincoln.—We agree
with the Times tbat Mr. Lincoln is the proper
candidate for tbe Presidency on the part of tbe
Republicans. He is entitled to it for many
reason.
1. He proclaimed as a necessity of party action
.'irrepressible conflict" between the interestst of
one section and the fanaticism of the others.
2. He has announced that tbere is no law in the
United States but the will of the majority.
3. He writes worse English than any President
we have ever had.
4. He is as great a strategist as he is a statesman
and has distinguised himself equally in war and
in jurisprudence.
5. Since Archy.'the king's jester, no man has
used such an abundance of stories, from the broad
smutty to tbe diluted Joe Miller.
"Shall parts so various aim at nothing new?
He'll shine a joker and a ruler too.
6. He is used to all tbe violations of tbe Constitution that are possible to any President, and by
the freeqnent practice does easily that which may
come awkwardly to and other man.
7. Tbere never bas been an official so true to his
party, and it will be proof of the ingratitude of
shoddy and abolitionism if they do not renominate
him.—New York World.

The Instrument!—among a series of resolutions before the Califoruia Legislature, one contains the following : "Tnat the people still look to
Abraham Lincoln as tbe instrument selected by
Providence," &c, which passed the Senate with
but five dissenting votes, and the Assembly witb
only two objecting members.
So, tben, to "Father Abraham," "Old Abe,"
"His Excellency," "His High Mightiness," tbe
"Rail Splitter," and his almost eountless other
titles, is to be added "The Instrument." We
know of no instrument to which be bears the least
resemblance, except perpaps the "harp of a thousand striDgs," upon which all AboUtiondom and
Niggerdom plays at random.
THE DEAD.
The dead never tell tales. Tbey sleep in tbeir
narrow cells, regardless of tbe instruments, animate or inanimate, whicb laid them there. Even if
tbe incumbent duty of a Christian burial is denied
them and their bones whiten on tbe surface of tbe
soil wbich drank tbeir blood, never care the dead.
But if the,dead could speak ; if those wbo fell in
the field or melted away at the touch of theeamp's
contagion ; if those whose lile went out unobserved by man, who crawled before the spirit took its
departure to some hidden thicket where tbe summer's heats and tbe lurious snows of winter crumble their bones to dust—if these dry bones could
live and these mute tongues speak, wbat would
they say that the authors of this unholy war,
that Garrison or Sumner, that Phillips or Wilson,
tbat Lincoln or Seward dare not hear ?
If witb pious care, from every swamp or jungle
tbeir bodies could be collected aod reverently
entombed and we, wbo still live could walk along
the line of interment and question them, v. hat answer would we get?
Stretching away from Maine to Oregon and jutting upon either ocean, the line would run. Every
six lineal feet enclose a father, a brother, a husband or son. Two millions of men. North and
South, have died from wounds or disease, and
these buried continuously lengthwise would form a
Golgotha over three thousand miles in length.
Suppose, we say, tbat we should tread this space
in company with those who conceived, who prayed
for and who helped precipitate tbis war, and, calling up these spirits Irom their graves, bid them
speak?—Would Abraham Lincoln, ior one dare
run the ghostly gauntlett ? Ask tbis man, buried
ou the verge of tbe Atlantic, what brought him
here. "A war wbich, for 20 years, I have by word
and act and vote endeavored to forfend?" "Who
fought to make the danger real?" "Tbat man wbo
first declared the Constitution a lie, and the Uuion
a league witb Hell." Note, then, bow, livid wilh
guilt, drops from the party tbe coterie of Massachusetts abolitionists who direct the war. And to
tbe next, "What brought you here?" "A war fore"
ed upon the country lor the benefit of a party."
"How forced?" "By the declaration, among many
others, of Abraham Lincoln, made \a Springfield
in 1858, that this Uuion could never exist half froe
aud slave—that a bouse divided against itself
must fall." We leaf that the attendance of our
beloved President might no longer be enjoed.
The Bpirits with which he communes at the Wbita
House bear no resemblance to these. These were
common men—who turned up the sod and plowed
in tbe Grain and reaped tha harvests and constituted the very thews aud sinews of the nation.
Tbey never dabble iu contracts: they never
bought or sold rotten vessels—they went down in
tbem. They never hired poor girls at starvation
wages to send out shoddy—these men froze in
such garments—they did not make tbem.
Ask this man whose wife and childred Btarve in
some "loyal" city—how he came to leave her he
had sworn to protect and fill a grave in the long
line and he will tell you tbat it was to earn a pittance which the closed factories of the Eastdenied
him and lhat instead of wages he received brutal
treatment at the hand of an upstart officer whose
friend was a friend of some leading Senator.
Walk the line through it is only 3,000 miles
long—it will take you but one hundred days, Mr-
Lincoln, to pass by tbe bodies of the dead, though
you walked continually and jarred a body at every
step.—You will see much that once yon could not
bear to see but it may do you good.
And after you have done this Mr. Lincoln, let
us take you from city to city, from village, lo v il-
|age. wbere lhe freezing wind chills even the beasts
in the stall. You shall see crcuching around a
glimmer of fire the wife of onewbom-you questioned
in your walk, not only one but thousands.—You
shall see thousands of orphans made orphans by
your war. You shall see want, and woe, and
and squalor everywhere. You shall see ihe skeleton form of some whom death has suffered to es
cape, but whom slow wasting disease bas apprehended. You shall Bee maimed men and helpless
ones, unable to earn the little bread wbich bridges
them from starvation. True, once in awhile some
elegant carriage will whirl past you wilh stately
occupants, but they are contractors merely. If tbis
does not i-urfeit you, let us visit tbe objects of your
pity—tbe negroes At Helena you have buried
them—those who died there, More have died, Mr-
Lincoln, from starvation that you dream of. So
fast in fact, tbat only a few bandfuls of dirt were
thrown upon their remains, and Ibis tbe rain bas
long ago washed away. Is this your philanthropy, tnbich permits Its victims to be tumbled iuto
Ibe earth like brutes? Tbe bogs (atte»upon tbem
Mr Lincoln, as any one of your officers will tell
you—your equals once, and the object of your so->
licitude.
Do you dare, Mr. President to walk these rounds?
Do you dare tread the line of tbe dead aud inquire
for the authors of the war? Come—the party you
revile, whose leaders you exile and imprison, have
no fears. They can walk its whole length without
the fear of an avening spirit. Dare yon visit your
plantation, Mr.President?—Dubuque (Iowa) Herald.
EASTERN INTELLIGENCE.
Cairo, March 26.—Tbe Fteamer Jatan, from
Nashville, passed Paducah at five o'clock this
morning, aod tbe Captain furni6bes tbe following
inlorm&tioa: Forrest; with about five thousand
men, made a descent upon Paducah at two o'clock
yesterday afternoon, capturing tbe oity, and completely gutting the place. He burned a number
of buildings and lhe steamer Arizona. Colonel
Hicks, with a force of between seven and eight
hundred, occupied the fort while Forrest held tha
town. Three gun-boats played on the city soma
time. The enescy made four assaults upon the
fort and were repulsed each time. At one time
some of tbem gained the top breastworks, and a
few fell inside of the fort. Tbe wharf boat and
about two thousand people wero moved across the
river 08 Forrest's approach. These people were
in an exposed and destitute condition.
The steamer Jo'eph Fierce brings two hours
later advices. Forrest had left Paducah, and tbo
fire in the back part of the city was dying out.
The people on this side af the river are returning.
During the fight a Dumber of rebels had occupied
a large brewery on Front Btreet, on whicb the
gun-boats opened heavily, battering down the
walls of the building and killing many rebels. It
is not known how many were killed in the city.
It ls raid that some women and children were
killed.
Mr. Forney thinks that Mr. Lincoln has earned
some higher title than that of "President." Wo
think that he deserves.a certain kind of elevation,
And for the sake of the great names that have
preceded him in office, we are in favor of bestowing upon Mr. Lincoln some other title than that of
President. Wbat shall ft be? If be were not the
reverse of everything tbat is bis mannars, he might
be called his Loyal Highness. But under the circumstances tbat would be rediculous. His
Loyal Lowness might do. But tbat might not
suit the ambitions views of Mrs. Lincoln who has
been already dubbed " ihe Republican queen" by
Republican edi tors. He could be called the Czar
but tbat would be offensive to our new Russian
cousins. The Kahan would do, bnt for the fact
that the Kahn of Tartary migbt take it ill, and
make it the excuse for declaring war upon us—an
amusement of which we have enough just at thia
moment. For a similar reason, the Dey might be
objected to, as it might possibly bring us into collision with the Dey of Algiers. The title of King
may be a year or two in advance of public opinion
in tbis country. And besides, applied to such a
fellow as Lincoln, it would look ns much out of
place as a steeple on a pig pen or h;n roast. On
tbe whole we think Ibe Republicans wilt bave to
fall upon some such name as Abraham Ajricanus .
I. Abraham is good, and is certainly a titla
wbich Mr. Lincoln ouerht to wear.— Old Guard.
Abolition Promises.—The Dubuque Herald truly
says, the republican party promised us a free press!
tbey gave us instead mobs, persecutions, basiiles and
spies. They promised us tree speech, and have
opened forte Lafayette. Delaware and Warren as its
penalties. Thy assured us that tbe right of suffrage
was an inalienable right, and one which never,
under any circumtainces, should be abridged ; they
gave us fort Delaware. Sueh an administration
deserves tbe execration of the civilized world.
Loyalty to it Is treason to liberty. It has violated the laws and robbed the people of their liberties,
desolated the land and shrouded in mourning thousands of once happy homes.
Frozen Truth.—Whatever is done in accordance with the Constitution of the United Slates, ta
the government and a portion of our national life
and whatever is done contrary to tbe Constitution
is no{government at all, such as onr fathers established, bnt a wicked usurpation. [Cheers] Wber
are we at tbe present day ? All tbe most valuable
rights of the citizens, those especially lhat are set
forth in tbe twelve amendments of the Constitution have been swept away by the men in power,
and to-day we are living under a different form of
government than which onr fathers founded and
sealed with their blood.— Thomas H. Seymour.
-.^>>*»^»ii
Tbe Republican papers bave at last assumed a
settle position in relation to the constitution ; they
are for it, "ao far as it is compatible with negro
fieedom.v>
Love will Find a Wat.—A couple carried on
their courtship in rather a novel wilb the daughter
of his employer, but from certain ideas of wealth,
a match was opposedjby the father. Tbe consequence was that the young man was forbidden to visit
hiB employer's house. Th.e old gentleman was in
tbe babit'of wearing a cloak, and the young couple
made bim tbe innocent bearer of tbeir correspondence. The lady pinned a letter inside tbe lining
of the old man's cloak, every day, and when the
father went into the counting house and threw off
bis cloak, tbe lover took out tbe lady's epistle,
read it, aod sent tbe reply back in lhe same manner. Love and ingenuity were finally successful.
m.i ».m * " .»►■ —
Spunk from Gov. Bkamijsttk —Tbe Governor of
KeDtucky. a short time since, was iuformed by a
membe'r of tbe Legislature from the first District
that a fellow was enlisting negro recruits in bis
district, and lhe people warned to know wbat they
should do about it. "Write to your people," eaid
the Governor, "tbat I will pardon any one who
may shoot the scoundrel. I intend to prevent tho
enlistment of negroes in this State, in spite of tbe
devil aod Abraham Lincoln. I will show them a
little of Jackson on this side of tbe border." , Bully for Bramlette.
Pungent.—A Captain of a Pennsylvania regiment, says the New Hampshire Patriot, has been declared by court marlial, gotlty of '"'conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman " viz: picking tho
-pocket ofa companion t We wish tbe administration
would declare tbo picking of Uncle Sam's pocket an
offence of like character. But instead of that, it
seems to regard that prosedure as eminently praise—
woitby.

Jobn Brough, Governor elect of Ohio, in his
speech at Lancaster before the election, as reported
io tbe Cinciauati Commercial, said: "Slavery
must be put down, routed out, if every wife has
to be made a widow, aDd every child to be made
fatherless." "Every wife" here means tbe wife of
every poor man, not John Brough's wife, nor Horace Greeley's wiW,'nor Henry Ward Beecher'a
wife, but the wife of every poor man who cannot

There is an eloquence unheard, Tbat steals upon tbe sense of sight: ' Tbe inmost soul of man is stirr'd, And fancy wiogs its joyous Sight, More pleasingiibao the gingling sound That echoes forth from merry ilivme, 'Tis lather to tbe thought proluund, Aud bears on iuflueuce sublime. -This silent eloquence is seen Iu friendly smiles aud lovely looks- It is, whatever it bas been, The potent themes done np in books— Tbe noble actions of mankind, Tbat cast their brilliant beams around, Wbich rest upon the human mind Far sweeter than the seuse of sound, Tbe eloquence that speaks aloud, Iu sentences most fiuely wrought, Tbat never fails to charm tbe crowd, Springs fiom the silent gem of thought; But tbis is eloquence unseen. Enshrouded with a mystic pall— The Hihger Powers intervene— 'Tis wholly iudiscribable. The beauties ofthe sylvan grove, Tbe trandeur of the mountain-height, Tbe twinkling orbs that shine above. In the serenity of night, Awake the song-inspired boy, And there the sources are Irom whence Genius derives its inward joy— The fruits of silent eloquence. John H. Weaver We are convinced that the poet who wrote the following lines is a "sympathizer" if, indeed, he is not a down-right "rebel" in his heart. O. Abe Lincoln he jokes, And Seward he smokes, At old Johnny Bull o'er the water, Both swear that tbis nation Shall whip all creation, While also the rebels wh slaughter, Oho, they smoke! Oho, they joke I While the people tbey lead on to slaughter. Plain Questions for Home Consumption. Have you ever known a Democrat to justify a violation of the Constitution ? Have you ever known a Stamp Act enaoted unV der a Democritic Administration h Have you ever known a Democratic President to suspend tbe writ of habeas corpuB? Have you ever known a Conscription Law to be passed under a Democratic Administration ? Have you ever known a Confiscation law to be passed under a Democratic Administration? Have you ever known a Democratic Administration to form a new State in violation of the plain provisions of the Constitution ? Have you ever known the time except the pre. sent, when a citizen could be incarcerated in a dungeon without authority of law? Have you ever known a Democratic Administration to counsel the people of a State or the District of Cuiumbia to sell their property whether willing or not? Have you ever known any Administration except Abraham's to creat a National bebt of $3,000* 000.000 in a short period of three years? Have you ever kuown a citizen to be sent into banishment and exile under Democratic rule? Have you ever known a time under Democratic rule when the greatest crimes aDd outrages have been committed by our rulers under a plea of "military necessity" or "reasons of Stale? Have you, before this, known a^time when the military was made superior to the civil power? Have you ever known a Democratic Administration to tax the people of the whole country to buy the negroes of the Border States ? Have you ever known a Democratic Administration to tax the people to pay the expenses of stealing and educating the negroes of the Southern States? Have you ever known a Democratic Administration to ignore tbe rights of States? Have you ever known an Administration, in opposition to the Democracy, to leave the affairs of tbe country in as flourishing a condition as it found them?—[Bergen, (N. J.) Democrat. Reasons for Renominating Lincoln.—We agree with the Times tbat Mr. Lincoln is the proper candidate for tbe Presidency on the part of tbe Republicans. He is entitled to it for many reason. 1. He proclaimed as a necessity of party action .'irrepressible conflict" between the interestst of one section and the fanaticism of the others. 2. He has announced that tbere is no law in the United States but the will of the majority. 3. He writes worse English than any President we have ever had. 4. He is as great a strategist as he is a statesman and has distinguised himself equally in war and in jurisprudence. 5. Since Archy.'the king's jester, no man has used such an abundance of stories, from the broad smutty to tbe diluted Joe Miller. "Shall parts so various aim at nothing new? He'll shine a joker and a ruler too. 6. He is used to all tbe violations of tbe Constitution that are possible to any President, and by the freeqnent practice does easily that which may come awkwardly to and other man. 7. Tbere never bas been an official so true to his party, and it will be proof of the ingratitude of shoddy and abolitionism if they do not renominate him.—New York World. guaranteed. TERMS. CASH. te The Instrument!—among a series of resolutions before the Califoruia Legislature, one contains the following : "Tnat the people still look to Abraham Lincoln as tbe instrument selected by Providence" &c, which passed the Senate with but five dissenting votes, and the Assembly witb only two objecting members. So, tben, to "Father Abraham" "Old Abe" "His Excellency" "His High Mightiness" tbe "Rail Splitter" and his almost eountless other titles, is to be added "The Instrument." We know of no instrument to which be bears the least resemblance, except perpaps the "harp of a thousand striDgs" upon which all AboUtiondom and Niggerdom plays at random. THE DEAD. The dead never tell tales. Tbey sleep in tbeir narrow cells, regardless of tbe instruments, animate or inanimate, whicb laid them there. Even if tbe incumbent duty of a Christian burial is denied them and their bones whiten on tbe surface of tbe soil wbich drank tbeir blood, never care the dead. But if the,dead could speak ; if those wbo fell in the field or melted away at the touch of theeamp's contagion ; if those whose lile went out unobserved by man, who crawled before the spirit took its departure to some hidden thicket where tbe summer's heats and tbe lurious snows of winter crumble their bones to dust—if these dry bones could live and these mute tongues speak, wbat would they say that the authors of this unholy war, that Garrison or Sumner, that Phillips or Wilson, tbat Lincoln or Seward dare not hear ? If witb pious care, from every swamp or jungle tbeir bodies could be collected aod reverently entombed and we, wbo still live could walk along the line of interment and question them, v. hat answer would we get? Stretching away from Maine to Oregon and jutting upon either ocean, the line would run. Every six lineal feet enclose a father, a brother, a husband or son. Two millions of men. North and South, have died from wounds or disease, and these buried continuously lengthwise would form a Golgotha over three thousand miles in length. Suppose, we say, tbat we should tread this space in company with those who conceived, who prayed for and who helped precipitate tbis war, and, calling up these spirits Irom their graves, bid them speak?—Would Abraham Lincoln, ior one dare run the ghostly gauntlett ? Ask tbis man, buried ou the verge of tbe Atlantic, what brought him here. "A war wbich, for 20 years, I have by word and act and vote endeavored to forfend?" "Who fought to make the danger real?" "Tbat man wbo first declared the Constitution a lie, and the Uuion a league witb Hell." Note, then, bow, livid wilh guilt, drops from the party tbe coterie of Massachusetts abolitionists who direct the war. And to tbe next, "What brought you here?" "A war fore" ed upon the country lor the benefit of a party." "How forced?" "By the declaration, among many others, of Abraham Lincoln, made \a Springfield in 1858, that this Uuion could never exist half froe aud slave—that a bouse divided against itself must fall." We leaf that the attendance of our beloved President might no longer be enjoed. The Bpirits with which he communes at the Wbita House bear no resemblance to these. These were common men—who turned up the sod and plowed in tbe Grain and reaped tha harvests and constituted the very thews aud sinews of the nation. Tbey never dabble iu contracts: they never bought or sold rotten vessels—they went down in tbem. They never hired poor girls at starvation wages to send out shoddy—these men froze in such garments—they did not make tbem. Ask this man whose wife and childred Btarve in some "loyal" city—how he came to leave her he had sworn to protect and fill a grave in the long line and he will tell you tbat it was to earn a pittance which the closed factories of the Eastdenied him and lhat instead of wages he received brutal treatment at the hand of an upstart officer whose friend was a friend of some leading Senator. Walk the line through it is only 3,000 miles long—it will take you but one hundred days, Mr- Lincoln, to pass by tbe bodies of the dead, though you walked continually and jarred a body at every step.—You will see much that once yon could not bear to see but it may do you good. And after you have done this Mr. Lincoln, let us take you from city to city, from village, lo v il- age. wbere lhe freezing wind chills even the beasts in the stall. You shall see crcuching around a glimmer of fire the wife of onewbom-you questioned in your walk, not only one but thousands.—You shall see thousands of orphans made orphans by your war. You shall see want, and woe, and and squalor everywhere. You shall see ihe skeleton form of some whom death has suffered to es cape, but whom slow wasting disease bas apprehended. You shall Bee maimed men and helpless ones, unable to earn the little bread wbich bridges them from starvation. True, once in awhile some elegant carriage will whirl past you wilh stately occupants, but they are contractors merely. If tbis does not i-urfeit you, let us visit tbe objects of your pity—tbe negroes At Helena you have buried them—those who died there, More have died, Mr- Lincoln, from starvation that you dream of. So fast in fact, tbat only a few bandfuls of dirt were thrown upon their remains, and Ibis tbe rain bas long ago washed away. Is this your philanthropy, tnbich permits Its victims to be tumbled iuto Ibe earth like brutes? Tbe bogs (atte»upon tbem Mr Lincoln, as any one of your officers will tell you—your equals once, and the object of your so-> licitude. Do you dare, Mr. President to walk these rounds? Do you dare tread the line of tbe dead aud inquire for the authors of the war? Come—the party you revile, whose leaders you exile and imprison, have no fears. They can walk its whole length without the fear of an avening spirit. Dare yon visit your plantation, Mr.President?—Dubuque (Iowa) Herald. EASTERN INTELLIGENCE. Cairo, March 26.—Tbe Fteamer Jatan, from Nashville, passed Paducah at five o'clock this morning, aod tbe Captain furni6bes tbe following inlorm&tioa: Forrest; with about five thousand men, made a descent upon Paducah at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, capturing tbe oity, and completely gutting the place. He burned a number of buildings and lhe steamer Arizona. Colonel Hicks, with a force of between seven and eight hundred, occupied the fort while Forrest held tha town. Three gun-boats played on the city soma time. The enescy made four assaults upon the fort and were repulsed each time. At one time some of tbem gained the top breastworks, and a few fell inside of the fort. Tbe wharf boat and about two thousand people wero moved across the river 08 Forrest's approach. These people were in an exposed and destitute condition. The steamer Jo'eph Fierce brings two hours later advices. Forrest had left Paducah, and tbo fire in the back part of the city was dying out. The people on this side af the river are returning. During the fight a Dumber of rebels had occupied a large brewery on Front Btreet, on whicb the gun-boats opened heavily, battering down the walls of the building and killing many rebels. It is not known how many were killed in the city. It ls raid that some women and children were killed. Mr. Forney thinks that Mr. Lincoln has earned some higher title than that of "President." Wo think that he deserves.a certain kind of elevation, And for the sake of the great names that have preceded him in office, we are in favor of bestowing upon Mr. Lincoln some other title than that of President. Wbat shall ft be? If be were not the reverse of everything tbat is bis mannars, he might be called his Loyal Highness. But under the circumstances tbat would be rediculous. His Loyal Lowness might do. But tbat might not suit the ambitions views of Mrs. Lincoln who has been already dubbed " ihe Republican queen" by Republican edi tors. He could be called the Czar but tbat would be offensive to our new Russian cousins. The Kahan would do, bnt for the fact that the Kahn of Tartary migbt take it ill, and make it the excuse for declaring war upon us—an amusement of which we have enough just at thia moment. For a similar reason, the Dey might be objected to, as it might possibly bring us into collision with the Dey of Algiers. The title of King may be a year or two in advance of public opinion in tbis country. And besides, applied to such a fellow as Lincoln, it would look ns much out of place as a steeple on a pig pen or h;n roast. On tbe whole we think Ibe Republicans wilt bave to fall upon some such name as Abraham Ajricanus . I. Abraham is good, and is certainly a titla wbich Mr. Lincoln ouerht to wear.— Old Guard. Abolition Promises.—The Dubuque Herald truly says, the republican party promised us a free press! tbey gave us instead mobs, persecutions, basiiles and spies. They promised us tree speech, and have opened forte Lafayette. Delaware and Warren as its penalties. Thy assured us that tbe right of suffrage was an inalienable right, and one which never, under any circumtainces, should be abridged ; they gave us fort Delaware. Sueh an administration deserves tbe execration of the civilized world. Loyalty to it Is treason to liberty. It has violated the laws and robbed the people of their liberties, desolated the land and shrouded in mourning thousands of once happy homes. Frozen Truth.—Whatever is done in accordance with the Constitution of the United Slates, ta the government and a portion of our national life and whatever is done contrary to tbe Constitution is no{government at all, such as onr fathers established, bnt a wicked usurpation. [Cheers] Wber are we at tbe present day ? All tbe most valuable rights of the citizens, those especially lhat are set forth in tbe twelve amendments of the Constitution have been swept away by the men in power, and to-day we are living under a different form of government than which onr fathers founded and sealed with their blood.— Thomas H. Seymour. -.^>>*»^»ii Tbe Republican papers bave at last assumed a settle position in relation to the constitution ; they are for it, "ao far as it is compatible with negro fieedom.v> Love will Find a Wat.—A couple carried on their courtship in rather a novel wilb the daughter of his employer, but from certain ideas of wealth, a match was opposedjby the father. Tbe consequence was that the young man was forbidden to visit hiB employer's house. Th.e old gentleman was in tbe babit'of wearing a cloak, and the young couple made bim tbe innocent bearer of tbeir correspondence. The lady pinned a letter inside tbe lining of the old man's cloak, every day, and when the father went into the counting house and threw off bis cloak, tbe lover took out tbe lady's epistle, read it, aod sent tbe reply back in lhe same manner. Love and ingenuity were finally successful. m.i ».m * " .»►■ — Spunk from Gov. Bkamijsttk —Tbe Governor of KeDtucky. a short time since, was iuformed by a membe'r of tbe Legislature from the first District that a fellow was enlisting negro recruits in bis district, and lhe people warned to know wbat they should do about it. "Write to your people" eaid the Governor, "tbat I will pardon any one who may shoot the scoundrel. I intend to prevent tho enlistment of negroes in this State, in spite of tbe devil aod Abraham Lincoln. I will show them a little of Jackson on this side of tbe border." , Bully for Bramlette. Pungent.—A Captain of a Pennsylvania regiment, says the New Hampshire Patriot, has been declared by court marlial, gotlty of '"'conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman " viz: picking tho -pocket ofa companion t We wish tbe administration would declare tbo picking of Uncle Sam's pocket an offence of like character. But instead of that, it seems to regard that prosedure as eminently praise— woitby. r i» Jobn Brough, Governor elect of Ohio, in his speech at Lancaster before the election, as reported io tbe Cinciauati Commercial, said: "Slavery must be put down, routed out, if every wife has to be made a widow, aDd every child to be made fatherless." "Every wife" here means tbe wife of every poor man, not John Brough's wife, nor Horace Greeley's wiW,'nor Henry Ward Beecher'a wife, but the wife of every poor man who cannot raise three hundred dollars, c*'^ Mrs. Gen, Tom Thumb became a mother a few weeks sine*. Tom ta said to bave danced a hornpipe at the announcement. An old lady whose chickens had quit laying gave them tbe name oi Macduff, so that they I would "lay oa." fi 0 CT) CM co CM 1^ CM CO CM 0 to CM — ■* CM o>_ CO CM CM CM — — CM O) O CM O) 1 h_j CO f>- — CO —~ T" in — •* ^ CO w_ CM JP t |
