PoET'KY
ON NIGHT.

Night is the time for rest;
n How sweet, whsa ibors close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain Of repose;
Stretch the tired linhs, and lay tie head
Upon our own delightful bed.
Night is the time for dreams;
The gay romance OF life,
when truth that is. and truth that seems,
Blend in fantastic strife;
ALI visions less 5asuiIins far
Thaa waking dreams by daylight arc.
Night is the time for toll;
TO psoug., the CLASSIC field,
Intent to hn! the buried spoil Y t%'
Its wealthy furrows yield ..
Til all is ours that sages taught,
That poets sahg, or heroes wrought.
Night il the time TO weep;
10 wet with unseen tears
Those graves OF memory where sleep
The Joys Of other years;
Hopes that were angels IN their birth,
t.But persisted young like things on earth
Night Is the time to watch;
On ocean, dark expanse J,
To hail the rleadss. or catch
Lie t!ii moo ms earnest tsiance,
L ,at brings unto the home sick mind
All we have loved and left beh nd.
Nj hit is the time for care; .
Broodng on hours mispent,
To gee the spectre OF despair
Come TO our lonely tent;
Like Br,lt,ls, midst his slumber;ng host,
Startled by Caesars staiwart ghost.
Night is the time TO muse
Then from the eye the soul
Takes flight, and with expanding views,
Beyond the starry pole,
Describes athwart tine abyss of night
The dawn of uncreaed light.
Night is the time to pray;
Our Saviour of, withdrew
To desert mountains far away,
SO will his followers do;
Steal from the throng to haunts unrod,
And hold communion with their God.
Night is the time for death;
When all around is peace,
Calmly to yield The weary breath,
From sin and suffering cease;
Think Of Heavens bliss. and give the sign
To parting friends-such death be mine.

The claims Of the Party In Power to
the name Of Jeffersonian Republic
cans further considered.

Wecopy the Unions first article today. Our
neighbor need be under no apprehenslons lest
this controversy should be spun out until after
the August elections. few weeks, we doubt
not, will abundantly suffice for the discussion.
All the points worthy Of remark in the scat
tering etfusion Of our neighbor will be noticed
hereafter in their order.
There is an imputation, owever, on the con-
sjstency and integrity Of Mr.. Jefferson, which
we cannot permit to pass without immediate
correction. Our neighbor would have the pub
lie believe, that Mr.. Jeferson's celebrated Cir
cular, forbidding officers Of the Government to
interfere in elections, was only intended to
tshut the mouths" of FederaliStS who were in
Office and were opposed to his administration,
leaving it to be inferred, that Mr.. Jefferson had
no objections to the interference in favor Of his
Administration by the Republicans who were in
Office We repudate this construction as IL
bel on the character Of the Sage Of Monticello,
His Circular was broad. general and compre.
hensive, intended to embrace both FederaliSts
and Republicans-as we'll those who we're oppo-
nents ofhis administration as those who supper
ted it. Mr. Jefferson was too much of a Repub-
licdn to permit Republican office holders to take
an active part in elections, although their efforts
should be in behalf of his Administration, and
at the same time to forbid Federal ofice-hold,
ers from interfering, under penalty Of expul-
sion from Office, merely because they were OPP
posed to him.
1t will be seen that the Union is at issue with
Mr.. Giles, in relation to the origin of the Fedo
raj and Republican parties. Mr.. Giles express
y attributes their origin to difference fopin
ion respecting Executive power and patronage
The Union denies this. So did BAYARD, the
Federal member who replied TO Mr.. Giles.
81 know" says Mr.. b., shat this is the dis
tinction of party which some gentlemen have
been anxious to establish; but it is not the grount
on which we divide" mo, sir" he continued
sour views as to the powers which do and ough
to belong to the general and state governments
are the true sources Of our divisions."-This i
exactly the ground assumed by the Union
Well, we viii try the party by this test b.
and by.
Again: 1t is not notorious thai the Federal
lists made light of the fears Of the Republican
in respect 10 the 3powcr and patronage Of tn

has been paid of, the annual expenditures have
more than doubled, and the general patronage
OF the government has Incidentally increased.
The imminent dangers "to the liberties oil our
country" so graphically painted in the Report
from this source, have been increased ten Told.
And yet with drilled maiorities in both Houses
of Congress, the party in power have never
once attempted TO pass either of the above men,
toned bills. They could have passed them all
without serious opposition, and their failure 10
do so, must be regarded as base abandonment
of fundamental principles, to carry out which,
they stood solemnly pledged to their country
and to the world.
But il is not merely in acts Of omission that
the party in power have incurred the guilt OF
apoStacy. In 1885, the second in order, and
the most important Of these bills, that which
had for its object ''o secure in office the iaIth-
fu collectors and disbursers Of the revenue,
and TO dispace defauters," was introduced and

to no purpose. II icas SmOthered by the majority,

From The Columbia Is. c. Telescope.

The Mercury takes the part Of Mr.. Duncan
and Mr.. Tappan, of Oho-whllewashes them
up-and says that by their election, and the
subsequent vote of one Of them for the Ather-
ton resolutions, ''thc whole charge oil abolition
against the Republican party oil Ohio is rem
dered contemplate" We recollect that year
or two ago, before l, had joined the Administra-
ton party, the Mercury said of MIR. Granger,
a Wing Of New York, that the bare suspicion OF
his being an abolitonst should set every Sou
thern man against him. Let US see how this
would apply to the Mercury's new Ohio
friends.
In circular letter of Mr.. Duncan's, he says
speaking Of the slave States:
"The anger Of God, and the vengeance Of
Heaven, seems 10 rest upon every thing upon
which you can cast your eyes. Every pros
pect seems to be withered and wllted by the
Irown and dsapprobation of avenging justice
and violated humanity. In short, almost every
institution, every prosperity public and private
seems to be sickening and dying from the cor
rupting and corroding effects of slavery. Blu
the curse he on the heads Of those who sustain
such an Institution"
Can the Mercury sec nothing suspicious il
this?
As to Senator Tappan. some of the papers il
Ohio say he is an abolitonisi and some say
he is not; but the Emancipator, the leading or
gan of the Abolitonsts, is delighted at his cleo
ton, and says,
"We presume Mr.. Morris was dropped from
political considerations, as the pro slavery par
iy have gained nothing by the change, Mr.. I
being brother to the President Of the American
Anti-Savery Society, and an older and stronge
enemy Of slavery than even Morris himself"
Is there nothing suspicious in this
Or does the Mercury regard every man VIII
is Van Burenite, as pure, and only those a
abolitionsts who are not Of the party of "th
Northern man with Southern principles"
