From the same. cHxIDAooD's HOME.
BY THE SAME

BY THE SAME. WHERE yon two tall elms raise high their
 heads,
 Der which tho sun it's lustre sheds, Where with age Is bowed that time-worn
 fence,
 And above it wsves the shrubbery dense, A cottage stands, and 1t now decays: This was the home of my early days! Amid those high hills the waters lie, And beneath-above is cloudless sky; And an isle floats there like fairy land, Begirt with zone of diamond sand; And t will flash, as waves kiss 1t, and blaze: There did | sport my early days. Where the willows bend down from the hill Their tassels of silver, bright and still, And above the stream whose music seems But murmars ef love in happy dreams Or the notes which fit from harps of fays-- There did l muse il, my early days.

POETRY .
From the Boston Pearl. .AUIUAEN.
BY LBERT PIKE.

B Y A B FIR PIKE OCTOBER, brown October, with his slow And melancholy step, has left the hills, And comes upon the plain. The wild winds
 blow
 Through the thick leaves with cold and
 gusty thrills, Turning their greenness to the sere, red hdes Ofseber Autumn. Thro' the rustling dels, Meralded by the frost, that wildly strews The faded leaves along his way, goes on The sober month; and over the bright eye
 Of the despondng sun
 The cold clouds fold their vesture dun, Or oh the snowy hills, like couching eagles,
 lie. The crimson heart of every Summer flower Has waned away, and round the withered
 stalks The grey and faded leaves begin to shower Into rotting mass, and aimless focks Or winged seeds go floating through the air, Steered by the winds. Beneath the noise-
 less shocks Of the white frost, the whole night busy
 there,
 The nuts bestrew the ground, the fields
 have lost Their greenness, and are turned all dry and
 grey;
 And by the cold winds tossed, While the barred clouds go thick across, They seem to sadly mourn their wasting life
 away. How well the time accordeth with the soul! Autumn is on the heart, and these sere
 woods These winds that coldly through the valley These barred clouds-these withered so-
 litudes- Grey weeds and falling leaves-do all re-
 semble
 The lonely season on the soul that broods. The winds of sorrow OCT it's pale blights
 tremble;
 Its falling hopes and wthered passions
 give, Like those of Autumn, melancholy warning,
 And swiftly, wildly drive Through the sad heart, once all alive With the unsullied greenness of it's lifes
 young morning. And now, o earth! 1t makes its calm farewell; No peace or joy 1t hopeth now on earth. The crimson fountain once did gladly swell, But now 1t hardly throbs. The merry mirth Of boyhood's day has gone, and in it's stead Sit weariness, and loneliness, and dearth. The golden visions from the soul have fled, And each one leaves sombre shadow there Like dark pyramid within the soul;
 The cold and moaning air Sighs round its base in dark despair, And the wild voice of Death within the chasm
 rolls.

From the MilledgevilIe Times. FREE NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

The following article, is from the New York National Advocate, al that time edit ed by NJ. M. Noah. The extract was cop jed into the Richmond Enquirer of 5th 0c- tober, 1921, from which 1t was taken. The evidence in regard to this vote IS too clear to admit of doubt, and "his friends have not denied 1t.
 While on this subject, we would refer our readers to Mr. Van Buren's letter on the right of Congress to legislate on the emancipation of the Slaves, which we pnb- lished sometime since. It will be remem- bered that Mr. Van Buren asserted Con- gress had no right to legislate on this sub ion to that elIect We do not pretend to quote his exact words, moi deeming II neces- sary 10 refer 10 our files for that purpose, but we give the substance. A his friends have appealed to that letter, it may be well to remind them of this saving clause, which MT. Van Burer was prudent enough 10 irl- sert, probably with direct reference to the effect its omission might have on bis pros- poets in the North.
 The following is the record of the Ayes and Noes in the proposition to allow Jrse negroes the right of suffrage:

From the Louisville Journal.

Upon the subject of slavery in the Terri tories, Mr. Van Bureh is silent and myste- rlous. He expresses no opinions and gives no pledges. He remembers his past course and is dumb. When ihe Territory of Mis- souri applied for admission into the Union, he was in favor of forbidding her to hold slaves. He was for imposing on her re- striclion unknown to the other States, de- structive of her legitimate rights, and at war with the Constitution. The heart of the whole South beat wilma tremendous excite- ment, but he needed il not. Civil war and dissolution of the Union seemed impend- ing over our distracted country, but he paused not in his course. He fiercely and heartlcssly persisted to the last in the adyo- cacy of the restriction, looking upon the an- tcipated blood and carnage "with compo- sure" We all know, that the Missouri re- strictionlsts we're then regarded as emphat- cally the enemies of the constitutional rights of the South; and we need not say that they are so regarded still. Upon this subject, we repeat, MT. Y. B.'s letter is si- lent. There is no reason fur supposing that his views are changed. The presump- ton IS, thai, when other Territories shall knock at the door of the Union, he will bid them be gone, unless they consent 10 ob- tain admission by foregoing their constitu- tional rights. If elected to the Presidency, the presumption is, that he will, unless his heart quails before the thunder of public opinion, exert his whole official power against their admission into the Union upon conditions of equality with the States, which now belong to if. His election will be signal to the vast multitudes, who went with him upon the Missouri question, and whose opinions feelings, and passions, remain un- changed, to rouse themselves for other struggles upon other theatres. What will be the consequence7 If upon the applica- ton of Arkansas to become State, the scenes of the Missouri conflict shall be re- newcd upon the floor of Congress, and, if the restrictionisfs shall have the name and the power of the Chief Magistrate on their side, the dissolution of the Union will be as inevitable as the fulfilment of the decrees of Heaven.
 We have not time now to pursue these topics further, but we confidently appeal to all honest men to say, whether there IS any thing in MT. Van Rnren's letter, which proves him fit man to be supported for the Presidency at a lime like the present.
 There is much candor in the following, from the Salem Gazette:
 "Whiie we, at the North, are thanking God that we are not as other men are---s'n- ners and slaveholders-we ought never to forget that in all hunan probability we owe our happy exemption from slavery to the
