Shun, shun ye the wine cup,
For madness Is there;
IT'S the ruin Of all things
That's gladsome and fair
IT'S the blight OF affection,
The downfall Of fame,
And no hope can survive
The breath of its shame.
o, shun it when glad ones
In revel are high
When the song end the Jest
Are bright'ning each eye
When the tsmpter Is waiting
To blast with his smile
Then heed not his seeming:
IT'S falsehood and guile.
And quoH no, the goblet
To absent ones now
Twill tarnish the laurcls
That wreath round their brow;
Far better in silence
Their names should remain
Than their mem'rics should bear
On their impress that stain.
And Danish the wine cup
when woman is near
It's the siroc that strips them
or all they hold dear
'Tis the monster that hastens
Their ffiords 10 their doom,
And sings in his triumph
His songs on their tomb.
Then haste 20 the rescue.
The banner ia seen;
It's rs hrigh, as the halo
OF nights besming queen.
On, on 10 the battle.
Bold.hcartcd and brave;
And this is the watchword;
We conquer 90 save.

these gentlemen, and make all needful and proper
explanation which trust will be satisfactory. IL

PLANTATION should certainly be made in the presence
Of the same parties

after examining the original, you desire to publish
it, copy shall be furnished you for that purpose
Ii is not my purpose TO furnish a copy to any per

of copy. II contains no secrets or new facts but
relates to loans which were publicly talked Of and
alluded to in the public papers of 1884 and %
Several gentlemen in Wall street appear to have
been famil with the facts long before they came

Extract from N. Y. American Of alst March, lsis.l
Not to waste time nor space, we say advisedly
and ponedly, ofthe allegations against Prime, ard
g. King, that each and every one, and all OF them,
are false in every particular, without a shadow of
foundation, and as it strikes without even mo-
derate show of probability.
Prime, Ward & King did not ask, and did not
receive, Pos Notes from the Bank of the United
States, or any other notes, or aid of any sortand
for ten years last past have never had on their
account, a transaction of any sort with the Bank,
other Than the purchase SALE market overt and
for cash, OF Bills of Exchange. The story, there
fore, of being saved from bankruptcy by that Bank
or any other Bank, is sheer fabricaion-grau tous
and malicious indeed, but, happily, harmless"

In the second District the majority Of Daw-
son, the loco ocn f,f Congress IS IS 3, but the
wings have discovered some 80 or 40 Illegal
votes and had determined to contest the cleo
ton,
In the third District ten Parishes, viz: St
Landry, ST. Martin, st Mary, Rapdes, Avoy'
elles, LAFAYETTE, Catahoula, Carroll, Concorda
and Na,chtoches, had given Moore, the wing
candidate, a majority OF 332 over his competi-
tor Winn. Seven parishes remained to be
heard from. 1t was rumored that in Caddo
Moore had received a majority Of 25, and tina
Madison had given 9 majority for Winn.-
(Winn's true majority was a in Madson-) j
was leneraly believed in New Orleans thu
Moore was elected.
1t is certain, however, that the wings have
majority of al least TWO THOUSAND PO
PULAR VOTES, which secures the State 70

In the House of Representatives, the Whg
have a majority of at least four, and in tht

IA lser examining the record the President
returned it with the endorsement: @"''
"The President finds nothing in toe proceed
ings in the case o. Lieut.. Hooe which requires !
his Interference. NJ, VAN b."
The question arises, is the conduct Of the
President, the Secretary o the Navy and the
Court, in accordance with the Southern con-
ception Of the rights Of a free citizen, aud in
support Of those views which the South enter
tans of her peculiar institutions. And if ii
not, do the excuses rendered for them justify
their conduct Lei us see:
In the first place, the Court was held in the
Territory of Florida, in which slavery exists
in the same form that II does in many OF the
States Of the Union, and the Court which tried
Lieu. Hooe, wps bound TO approximate as
nearly the course of proceeding common to
the Courts Of that Territory the circumstan.
ces of that particular case would permit
Such, as we understand it, is the requirement
of the law 1t is rule well understood by
every one, that in those States and Territories
where slavery exists, the Negro cannot be a
witness against white man, It's part OF
,heir organic law. Ii the Court had observed
this rule, the Negro testimony could not have
been admitted on the ground that il WIS con
trary TO the ules Of law recognized and OBJ
served by the Territory in which the Trial oc
cured, and to the rights and security OF II,
slaye-hoding States. The disregard Of TIM

erred. Another reason Is, that the admission

Read the letter Of Gen. Harrison to tn,
Wing members Of the New York Legislature
in our paper of this week. If Gen. jackson
and Mr., Van Buren, had acted upon the repub
lican principle that "Congress should be left
as much es possible untrammeled by executive
influence in the discharge Of its Legislative
functons,n the country might now have been
prosperous and happy. How different is the
second reason given by Gen. Harrison for the
