Ahered-FOr the Spirit Ofhe Age.
The Good Old Cause.
AN ELECTION BALLAD.

llurrah, liurrah, for the good old cause
IT'S stirring sound to hear;
For it tells of the rights and franchises
Which our fathers bought so dear:
1t brings us back to the ancient times,
When like valian; men they stood
To sprinkle our infant liberties
With the baptism of blood;
When Washington and his brave old troops
Came riding DER the lea,
To wiring from the tyrant's pasied hand
The charter OF the free.
II brings ~ buCk to the glorious day,
Wher an Adams did not dare
To uphold his cursed scdtion Law
In spite of the peoples prayer;
II brings us to UAsWELI's dungeon room,
To the cell where LYON lay,
And the halls that echoed the noble words
or the Patriots of that dry;
1t summons the ghost of buried men
To receive our fond applause,
And bids to trend in the steps OF those
Who died for the good old cause!
ihc good old cause! it is still the same,
Though parties have changed their hue;
IT'S the cause of the right ugans, the wrong,
OF the many against the few;
IT'S the cause of all that would dwell at peace
On free unan,cd sod;
OF the poor that weep in their lcodIess homes,
or the people and their God!
We have still the brave old work to do,
And the selfish hate to dread,
OF slaves that once would have forged lis chains,
And now would deny us bread
The good old cause! it has champions yet,
Like those who have passed away;
The hero of Ticontcrog' is dust,
But SMILE lives to-day:
And liberty's oak still waves It's boughs
Der the hill and the broad bright plain;
And the DID, heroic murtyr.s,rem
Still flows in thousand veins
Aud the TRUTH is with us--thc bright, the fair
And around her throne she draws
The men that will stand with heart nnd hand
In defence OF the good old cause!
But thanks to the chiefs of the o!lcn time,
And the laws which in blood they wrote,
We need no weapon to crush OR foes
Save tile freeman 5 honest vote
And whoever burns with noble pride
At the sound of Aliens name,
Aud would scorn to barter.iis ccntry's veal
For tie sake of wealth or llmc
But would rather follow the FrecmGns llag,
Where the storms OF battle ROLL
VIII prove that he comes Of Frceman's race
At the election and the poll!
But the coward slave III such there be-
That would sell his birthright now,
For flowing cup, or the chink of gold
Or the smile on ordng's brow,
May his ncshbors shrink from his proltrcd hund
As though it were soiled for aye,
And may every woman turn her cheek
From his perjured lips awnyi
MAJ his counrry's curse be On his head,
And may no man ever see
4 gentle bride at the traitors side
Or children about his knee!
tnd some will menace, and some will Cajolc,
And some will cn,rcat with tears;
We have scorn for threats, and laughter tor lies,
And pity for idle fears
Wc look on our vote Ms solemn trust,
For mighty purpose given,
And will answer the use we make Of it,
To none but ourselves and hcnycn
We have no less stake than the proudcs Lord
In our country and it, laws,
And n single uOicc may incline the scale
To the idc of the Coon OLD CAUSE!

NEW GOLD AND SILVER BILL.

Other gold coins are received at the mint assay,
aud silver coins general by tale
We have included in brackets the carat rate, for
comparison; though it is found at The United States
Mint that English coin yields but 9i5 IL pure gold
in 1000 parts, instead Of DIG %, the legal stand
ard Of % carals.
Before the act Of 1884, gold, because Of lis re-
duccd value here, sought n foreign market; and
scarcely single coin was seen in our currency.
Since that time, il has constantly formed a part OF
ohr circulating medium, without driving silver u
way. This proves that they are cguali2 d in in.
,rinsic value by that standard.
The effect Of the rcmodclcd standard is apparent.
II han.hcs utterly all but French and British gold,
and renders them less current, by reducing their
value American eagles aud shares form hut n
small proportion of the gold circulation, and are
quite inadequate to this end. Gold mast therefore,
be excluded from lis share in tho currency; and
bank paper, Of course, supply It's place, silver
is too cam5roas for the offices Of gold dcnomina-
tons.
Bu, this bill looks farther, and excludes foreign
silver; for it admits only dollars and five franc pie
ccs. diminishing the value Of Spanish dollars.
The English and French gold coinage always
falls below the lawful standards; by design, it is
said. at their minis; aud it is found tia! the yaua
iion of 1884 does not admit Of rcCoinage here,
without loss There is good reason, then, for g.
qualizing according to fnCnuss; but we object TO
any atlemptat exclusion.
The whole object Of the bill, If we Judge by the
effect, is 10 diminish the specie of the country; for
our own coinage, with constant foreign drain. or
without it, is yet insufficient for oar wants. The
deficiency must be supplied with paper money.
The wisdom crexpercnce counscs no such change'
and we leave it 10 her lessons To plead, trumpet
tonrned. against anv measure designed to increase
promises without fulilment.--Giote.
