Terrible Earning against keeping bad compa-
ny.--Last Saturday evening, Mr.. Buckland,
who is employed in the United States Armory
at Springfield, Mass, became alarmed at the
absence of little son, about eleven years DID,
and made enquiry of boy by the name of Eli
OF, with whom he knew him to be in the habit of
associating. Elliot said, that when he last saw
him he was on the road to Boston; but knew
nothing maDe. On Sunday morning an uncle
OF young Buckiand, being out near the Boston
road, saw Elliot with spade in his hand and
compelled him to go with him to the spot where
he had seen his nephew. They had proceeded
about two miles from town when Mr. auckland
saw pistol lying by the side of the road. On
this discovery, Elliot refused TO go any farther
Strong suspicious were excited, and search be-
inc made, little auckland was found under the
stairs off hop-house at no great distance CO.
vered up with leaves and almost dead.
He was however, able to make the following
statement-He and Elliot he said had agreed
to run away to Boston, and started about noon.
They went on out of the village, when they stop
ped to fire at a mark with pistol which Elliott
carried with him. Elliot required him to put
up the mark, and twice fired so soon that the
ball whistled by him: and being alarmed, he said
he would GO home, and started. But Elliot told
him he would shoot him if he did, and treated
him with great haughtness and severity One
time auckland fired the pistol, and il proved
to have been so deeply loaded, that it few back
and wounded him in the face AT length, Eli
OF having loaded the pistol, threw something
away In the bushes, and ordered Buckland TO 90
and getit. He Went, and when STOPPING down.
Elliot shot him. the ball passing through his bo-
dy from the top of the left breast to the small of
the back. He fell, and cried to Elliot that he
was killed, and begged him 10 help him home,

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1884.

Parry NAmEs-It is probable that the old
English party designations will be generally
adopted and used in this country. Men must
now take their stand for or against PowER-for
or against LIBERTY.
Mr.. McDuffie, in his speech, on Tuesday, to
the people of Philadelphia adverted to the hap
py mergement of all political cognomens into
Wings and Tories; and Mr.. Clay, in the Sc
nate, said speaking of the Wings in New York;
They have assumed for themselves and bes-
towed on their opponents a denomination
which, according to all the analogy of history,
is strictly correct. 1t deserves to be extended
throughout the whole country. What was the
origin among our British ancestors, of those APP
RELATIONS? The tories were the supporters OF
executive power, of royal prerogative, of the
maxim that the King could do no wrong, of the
detestable doctrines of passive obedience and
non-resistance. The wings were the champi-
ons of liberty, the friends ofthe people, and the
defenders of the power Of their representatives
in the House of Commons.
During our revolutionary war, the tories took
sides with Executive power and prerogative,
and with the King, against liberty and lndepen-
dence; and the wings, true to their principles,
contended against royal executive power, and
for freedom and independence.
And what is the present but the same contest
in another form? The partisans of the present
Executive sustain his power in the most bound
less extent. They claim for him all executive
authority. They make his sole will the govern
ing power. Every officer concerned in the ad-
mjnistraton, from the highest down, is to conform
to his mandates. Even the public treasury, hith-
erto regarded as sacred, and beyond his reach,
is placed by them under his entire direction
and control. The Wings of the present day are
opposing executive encroachment, and most
alarming extension Of executive power and
prerogative. They are ferreting out the abu-
ses and corruptions ofan administration, under
Chief Magistrate who is endeavoring to con-
centrate in his own person the whole powers of
Government

A Jackson print of New York, speaking of
the late disgracefill riots in New York, has the
impudence tauntingly to tell the people of that
city that it is mot rational or prudent to light
a fire among such combustible materials as the
Irish population there" who are "quick and
irritable" and with "no particular disinclina-
ton TO A ROW." This is the slang of the dema-
gogue in encouragement of outrage and as
threat to those not disposed to yield to club law
What says the patriot and the statesman to this
same Irish population? What says Henry Clay?
Countrymen Of Tone of Emmett, of Macne-
ven, and of Sampson, if any of you have been
deceived and seduced into the support of a
cause dangerous to American liberty, hasten to
review and correct your course! Do not forget
that you abandoned the green fields of your ma
tive island to escape what you believed to be the
tyranny of British King! Do not adure you,
lend yourselves, in this land of your asylum,
this last retreat of the freedom of man. to the es-
adjustment here, for you and for us all, of that
despotsm which You had proudly hoped had
been left behind you, in Europe, forever! There
is much, | would fain believe, in the constitu-
tional forms Of government. But at last it is it's
parental and benefcient operation that must fix
its character. A government may in form be
free, in practice tyrannical; as it may in form
be despotic, and in practice liberal and free.

that he might die with his parents. This, ELI
OF said he would not do, but that when he was
dead he intended to bury him in the ground
After waiting some time and finding he did not
die. Elliot went away and Buckland succeed
ed in crawling to the spot where ne was found;
and it being very cold, covered himself with
leaves as well as he was able. Elliot returned
with spade, but it had become dark and ne
was unable to find him. On Sunday morning
he returned, and was seen as above stated
The night was severely cold which while it in

the flowing of the blood. On Tuesday morning
he was alive, and just able to speak; but in a
very dangerous condition. The parents of both

Spanish Treaty-Mr. Van Ness is the bearer
not only Of dispatches, but OF the Convention
itself In consequence of the disturbed state OF
the northern provinces of Spain, apprehensions
had been entertained for his safety. He was IN
fact stopt, it appears, three times between Mad
rid and the French lines, and was only released
on paving the usual tribute on such occasions.
The mail, which Immediately preceded him,
was robbed and the passengers were strpped
of even the clothing on their backs Mr. Van
Ness. on the contrary, although he was asses
sed to the amount of a few doubloons, had the
good fortune in every instance, except one, to
be treated with politeness. He represents the
North of Spain as being almost without any
regular government. The Carlist bands and
the Queens troops alternately dispace each
other in such rapid succession, that the idea OF
authority in the minds of the people has become
nearly obliterated. So distracted, indeed, is
the state of the whole country, as to give rise to
serious doubts whether the Queens party will
be able to sustain itself.

We regret to hear of the alarming illness OF
Horatio Gates Esq, of Montreal merchant OF
high character and great personal worth, and
well known by his extensive business relations
in the States, as well as in the Canadas His
death (Which was hourly expected at the date
of our information will be severe deprivation

IafatudtiOn.-Half the boxes at the fremont

of 1886; one box was knocked off to an ind-
vidua whose pocket, it is to be presumed has
not been affected by the removal OF the depo-
sites, for an advance of $50! This was for the
extraordinary privilege of witnessing the last
appearance of the Kembles. So much for " Hard
Tines But some would indulge their mania
for theatrical exhibitions, if the consequence was
utter ruin to themselves and connexions.

in note from Mr. Tristan Burgess. of R. l.. to
the Editors of the National Intelligencer, in
which he corrects notice taken of some of his
remarks by the Reporter for that paper in the
House of Representatives:
"Should the reporter pretend to excuse these

to have heard the memorial read and therefore
he omitted any attention to my statement of the

to expect this. 1t is true all other memorials are
read, as matter of course, if there be no mo-
ton to dispense with the reading. 1t also true
that |, after reading myself some parts of this
memorial, did move that the whole be read

THE SONG OF THE FORGE.

THE SONG OF THE FORGE.
Clang, clang,
The massive anvils ring
Clang, clang,
A hundred hammers swing,
Like the thunder rattle of a Tropic sky
The mighty blows still multiply,
Clang, clang.
Saw. brothers ofthe dusky brow,
What are your strong arms forging now!
Clang, clang,-we forge the coulter now,
The coulter ofthe kindly plough;
Sweet Mary mother bless our toll;
May its broad furrow still unbind
To genial rains, TO sun and wind,
The most benignant soil.
Clang, clang,-our coulter's course shall be
On many sweet and sheltered lea,
BY many a streamlet's silver tide,
Amidst the song of morning birds,
Amidst the low of sanntering herds,
Amidst soft breezes which do stray
Through woodbine hedges and sweet May,
Along the green hills side.
When regal autumn's bounteous hand
With widespread glory clothes the land
When TO the valleys from the brow
Ofeach respondent slope, is rolled
A ruddy sea of living gold,
We bless, we bless the Plough.
Clang clang, -again, my mates, what 81 ows
Beneath the hammers potent blows.
Clink, clank,-we forge the giant chain,
Which bears the gallant vessels strain
Midst stormy winds and adverse tides;
Secured by this, the good ship braves
The rocky roadstead, and the waves
Which thunder on her sides.
Anxious no more, the merchant sees.
The mist drive dark before the breeze,
The storm-cIoud on the hill;
Calmly he rests, though far away,
In boisterous chimes, his vessels lay,
: Reliant on our skill.
Say, on what sands these links shall Sleep
Fathoms beneath the solemn deep:
By Afric's pestilential shore,
BY many an iceberg, lone and boar,
BY many palmy western isle,
Basking in Springs perpetual smile!
BY stormy Labrador.
Say, shall they feel the vessel reel
When to the battery's deadly peal
The crashing broadside makes reply;
Or, else as at the glorious Nile,
Hold graphing ships, that strive the while,
For death or victory2
Hurrah-cling, clang-once more what
glows,
Dark brothers of the forge, beneath
The iron tempest of your blows,
The furnaces red breath?
Cling, clang,-a burning shower clear
And brilliant, of bright sparks, is poured
Around and up in the dusky air,
As our hammers forge the sword.
The sword!-a name of dread; yet when
Upon the freeman's thigh it's bound,
While for his altar and his hearth,
While for the land that gave him birth
The war-drums roll, the trumpets sound,
How sacred is it then!
Whenever for the truth and right
1t flashes in the van of fight
Whether some wild mountain pass,
AS that where fell Leonidas;
Or on some sterile plain and stern,
A Marston, or a Bannockburn;
Or amidst crags and bursting rills,
The Switzer's Alps. grey Tyrol's hills;
Or, as when sunk the Armada's pride,
1t CLEANS above the stormy tide;
Still, still, whene'er the battle word
Is Liberty, where men do stand
For justice and their native land,
Then Heaven bless the sword!"

speech of Mr. McDufie. We have publish
ed no speech made this session Of Congress
which has given such general satisfaction. The
friends Of the Administration themselves say
it is a powerful effort Of powerful mind. We
wish sincerely it would work conviction upon
their minds. AS it's, we have hopes it has done
good
