JEFFERSONIAN

AH,sUERus. A POEM BY VIRGINIAN New
Yonk Harper and Brothers, 50 Cliff Street. 1912.
This work, which The public have been anxious 10
peruse, is, will be by the advertisement for
sale at Taylors establishment.
We have Published from other presses several short
notices of before and regret that our space now
will not suffer US TO enlarge upon its merits this
ment.
All our readers know the tradition OF the Wander
ing Jew. Upon it this production is founded. The
author says in his preface "ihat he lays claims
originality in the conception of his subject" But the
manner in which he has handled the theme, shows,
nevertheless, fertility Of genius his part which
we prophesy will rank him with the first authors of
the day, if he devotes himself to literature
The glow Of thought and fancy throughout the
poem is abundant, and often sublime, while the fer
tility Of his language, and The felicity Of its express
sion prove that the intellectual resources of the writer
fresh and flowing, and that he commands his tools
(words) like artist.
The description Of the Saviour and the Jew, pre-
sented in such strong contrast, at impress the
reader with the varied powers of the author and the
tone Of loftiest religious sentiment which pervades
every line, must impress the pious reader with the
warmest respect for the impulses in which the compo
sition of such a work originated.
The agony of the Jew, previous to his repentance
and the prayer which he makes for forgiveness, amidst
the awful dissolution Of Nature is one of the finest
passages that we remember in our literature of the
kind. Exquisite touches Of sensbiliiy, and keen
perception Of the beautiful in Nature, pervade the
volume. But our space admonishes US that we must
recur to it again.

From the Old School Republican,
The PEOPLES-THE REPUBLICAN STAN
DARD EREC TED

liz FEOfLEiS- IttE REPU BLICAN STAN
DARD EREC TED.
Within the last few weeks gentlemen of this ~
have received many letters from various sections of
the State earnestly inquiring what" measures. the
friends of the Administration contemplated for the
purpose OF sustaining the Executive Of the Unitd
States in his honest and patriotic efforts to administer
the government for the benefit of the people, The
subject engaged the anxious consideration of those APP
pealed o,-they avaed themselves of the counsel of
gentlemen who have visited the seat of government
from distant portions of the State Al far as we
have been enabled to ascertain the feelings Of such as
have expressed an opinion, but one sentiment pre-
vailed. All hoped that Congress would bring to the
consideration OF the subjects, intimately connected
with the best interests OF the country, feeling of
elevated patriotism which would raise them far above
the selhshness OF the mere partisan. That should
no longer be called upon to witness degrading
scuf1e among the members of Congress-prese
each other before the world unfit to represent free
and an enlightened people, to the entire neglect of
their high duties
Until evidence, sufficient TO convince the most seen
tica that nothing to be expected from the volun
tary action of Congress- did they feel themselves at IL
betty to act. The time in their opinion having fully
arrived, an invitation by request was inserted in the
Old School Republican, on Friday last, the friends
OF the Administration to meet the next day. for con-
sutatlon; which resulted in the adoption of the pre-
amble and resolutions found in this days paper. They
will speak for themseves-they claim the calm cons-
deratIon of every friend Of his country The time is
come when the people must act for themselves if they
would secure that attention to their interests for the
promotion and protection of which they established
this free government
All were disappointed in the number present at the
meeting We expected but a few-it was far in adj
vance of our fondest hopes. The Democrat and the
Wing were there, each actuated by the same feeling
a desire, determination to do what duty in this
great crisis OF their country demanded at their hands
Others might follow party leadersgive up their own
opinions, and be content to act as this or that great
man might dictate-as for themselves, Mey were re-
solved to think and act as independent reemen, who
appreciated the high duty and exalted privileges de-
volving upon them American citizens.

AS to the desperadoes of New York, we do not
suppose that any thing that we say will reach them
if Il does they may rest assured that If they come
here upon any such errand they will never return.
That the insurgent leaders have made trea-
sonable arrangements abroad to resist the ope
ration of the provision in the Constitution Of
the United States, should the emergency re-
quire the Federal Government to interpose, we
quote the following from the Philadelphia In
quirer TO prove il;
DAT the Rhode Island meeting held in New York
on Tuesday, Mr. Levi ID. Slamm said he had already
chartered steamboat to carry one thousand fighting
men to Rhode Island whenever the General Govern
ment should attempt to put down the instruction now
existing in that State !"
Is not this a sufficient development of the dis
organizing purposes of the lawless adventures 2
But we believe the aid of the u. S. troops will
not be required. The cowardly Abolitionists
will fly from Providence and take refuge in the
dirty lanes and cellars whence they emanaled
The loafers and incendaries will not stand up
and be shot at in open day. Their mode of
warfare is to throw stones from corners OF
streets after night fall. Governor King will be
ly and punish the foreign robbers.
We have il from the best authority that DORIS
admission that he had asked for the aid OF 5000
armed men from New York 10 butcher the cltl-
Zens of his native State, has had a salutary eff
feet on the sober and rejecting portion of the
Suffrage Party. They have abandoned him
forever. They are now engaged, in conJunc-
ton with the freeholders, in getting signers 10
petitions calling for Convention. They will
succeed. Thus the traitors and Aboliuonlsts
will be defeated The demagogues in Rhode
Island, New York, and WASHINGTON, will hide
their diminished heads. The mobs impusively
carried every thing before them for moment.
The I" sober second thought" will bring re
action And thus the grand scheme Of the
Radicals and Destructves TO strike blow at
the President, will eventuate in their own de-
struction
