THE ARM CHAIR.
by MRS. s. J. HALE.

BY MRS. s. J. HALE.
There is pleasure in the humble home,
If childhood's smile is there,
And comfort in the lowliest room,
Where stands an old arm chair.
We know thai Hope, with heaven bright flame,
Hath warm'd the mothers breast,
We know the farmers toll worn frame
Hata found place of rest: .....
Bright visions of the household band,
Of love, and faith, and prayer, .... ... ..
Heart joined with heart, and hand with hand,
Surround the old Arm Chair. ...
But chidhood's happy grace can give
charm TO home most fair,
And wealth, if wise, will never live
Without his good Arm Chair
II is throne Of holy power,
Ifhearts Of love surround,
A refuge in The vorld-sirk hour,
Where soothing dreams are cound'
What nervesthe care how'd man with strength,
I.ife's battle field to dare?
That he and his may rest at length
Within good Arm Chair.
The monarch on his golden throne,
OfhundreG kings the heir,
Can he, man, compare with one
Who wins his good Arm Char''
With willing hand and open mind,
Looks up, cleareyed to Heaven,
Strong, pure and free, mountain wind,
And kind as dew of even,
Ay, such the man that God hath blessed,
Whom angels guard with care,
He'll rest, and see his loved ones rest
Within his own Arm Chair.

Fight on to the end
and may the God of nations at last reward
you with triumphant deliverance.

GiPThe people will see from the following let
ter addressed by Rrney to Joshua Leav T.
that he pronouuces the letter to Garland at
tributed to him forgery
Whatever bad opinion we still entertain o.
Birney and other leaders of third party Abo-
litonism. we have no disposition to aggravate
their disastrous and disgraceful course by
publishing any thing not firmly based on the
truth. The Truth is bad enough. For
whether this letter is true or false itdoes not
by any means invalidate the testimony of 9th
ers, and even Birney's avowed declarations
evincing that heis an apostate to genuine alb
olitionism, and au ally of Locofocoism. Al
though Birney must have seen the Deposi-
ton Of Mr.. briggs which we published two
weeks since at the time he announced the
forgery of the letter aforesaid he does not de-
ny IFS authenticity. Then look at that Dep
osition reader, yes! Birney did know as
briggs testiies and Birney himself has since
often written and spoken that he was nomin-
atedfor the Legislature by regular Conven-
ton Of the Locofoeo party ofSaginaw county
IN pursuance of an agreement with the
leaders, having previously authorized Mr..
Garland Ia member of the ConventionJ to
say that he would accept the nomination, and
that he would adhere to democratic princi-
Piles and the Polk and Dallas party. Ofthis
there cannot be donbt unless you disbelieve
the testimony of briggs, and the facts there
in contained revealed by Garland. not only
to briggs but 10 others. The unsullied hon
or of w. s. briggs is strongly vouched for
by the Wing State Committee of Mlchi-
gan.
Again, reader look on the first page of our
paper and what we give you in relation to
james G. Birney by Mr.. Child who is among
the noble hearted pioneers ofthe Anti Slave
ry cause in the United States.
Considering the letter of Brney aforgery.
it is merely cumulative. The evidence
against him is still irresistible in the mind of
any reasonable man:
Cleveland, Nov. !, 1874.
Dear Sir saw, a few hours ago, at Fair
port where the steamer stopped few min
utes, the letter purporting TO be written by
me TO MIR. Garland, dated Sept. &c, 164l.
The letter, Itself, is an absolute torgery-so do
believe the affidavits areas do not think.
Birdsall, Thayer and Davis, would do so
base an act, bad as the times are.
(Signed) JAMES G. BIRNEY.

which far better men than those who now
attempt to sway them have sketched out, and
we wouiel,be the last TO charge them with
that want of sincerity which we do not hest
tate TO apply TO those who stand at the helm
Of thirdparty movements. With the strong
disbursements now before the people, who
would have the hardihood to deny that there
exists au affinity ia purposes and practices
between modern abolition leaders and the To-
cofecos to destroy the Wing party and thus
perhaps uninteniioually asto the aboiltionis's
sweep away the only barrier whichno stands
in this Union agains: the annexation OF
Texas. James G. Birney at least has
surrendered without blush or symptom OF
reyulsiou, to the meritricious embrace of the
upholders of slavery. He has openly avo"ed
his preferences to Polk the unhesitating and
unqualified immediate annexationist, although
he web knows that Mr.. Clay and the Wing
party are pledged under almost every exigen-
cy to oppose it. His leading supporters all
over the Union are virtually but perhaps I'M
consciously cooperating as auxilaries Of
the slave party who are about TO adopt
measure which if successful will set at def
auce all the labours Of crude philanthropy,
and instead of striking off the chains Of the
slave, fasten manacles upon freemen.
Should not abolitionists look TO this! Are
they not surrounded by dangers and pitfalls
by these pretended friends, but real and
practical enemies And will they go along with
them in conrse which will eventually extin-
guish the last ray of hope in the prospects of
the suffering slave.

CALUMNY Y.

The Philadelphia Chronicle, an high
toned and manly neutral paper, holds the
following language relative to the dis
graceful warfare carried on by the Loco
focos against Mr. CLAY. Read it.
The want Of honesty and decency was
never more manifest than in the oppcs;-
ton to the election of Henry { lay
Every one who is familiar with the politi-
cal history of this country for the last
twenty years, and whose party prejudice
are not stronger than his perceptions Of
truth, must acknowledge that MIR. Clay IS
one of the most trying emergencies ne has
always been found upon the side of his
country and her interests-whether in
he business Of diplomacy, or in the coun-
ellis of the nation. No American states.
man now living has pursued more cen
sistant and useful course, during so many
years of public life, as that pursued By
MIR. Clay. He has been an American in
the fullest sense of the word, ever devoted
to American interests And it has been
in spirit ofjust liberallty too, that is in
keeping with the policy ofour govern
nlehl towards acopted cltlzens. Every
class of persons, and every department OF
trade and labor within the boundaries OF
the United States, have found an able
and ready representative in Mr. CLAY
Why assail such a candidate for the
su firage oftEe people, with the filthy and
disgusting miSsiles with which the poli,i-
cal magazines are stored ! 1t is not JUS
tice'to the man-it is not fair dealing
with the people. No man ever more
frankly and openly avowed his senti-
ment upon the public measures.
the public measures No false prefer
ces, no concealment ofviews can be laid
in this charge His election is sought up
on the worth ofhis principles; if he sue
ceeds. it will never be by abandoning
them.

THAT, IF THEY DID NOT RUN
AWAY FROM US, WE SHOULD BE
GLAD TO RUN AWAY FROM THEM !;
AND THAT THAT WAS THE GREAT
OBJECT OF THE TARIFF SYSTEM.
This declaration was made by Col.
Preston in the Fall and Winter, l think,
of 1881, and MIR. Clay's remarks were
made that Summer. Col. Preston re-
peatedly made the same declaration, pub
licly and privately. Col. Clifton of Dali
as, DR.. Lawrence Of this county, Wings ;
and Robert Riyes and Reuben House of
this county, Democrats-heard Col. Pres
ton make the same declaration some of
them like myself, repeatedly.
Yours, truly, r. P.McCORD.
B. A. REYNOLDS, Esq.
Truly, this is protection to the South.
And this PROTECTIVE system is the darling
of Henry Clay. Will Southerners doubt
longer, the political inconsistency, yea,
even dishonesty of the shufler. this worst
traitor to his country's veal! Will slave
holders, with this declaration staring them
in the face, for moment hesitate what
course to persue? His political char
acter has been uncertain and inconsistent.
But there are those who have insisted,
without even taking time for breath, that
Mr.. Clay was friend to the South. Who
will say so now?
Truly, friend to the South ! A
friendship which would fitch form us our
property and make desolate our peaceful
homes.
We call upon our brethren of the Press
to spread this matter far and wide. Let
the whole South hear Let all who will,
read it.
As our paper is not issued until Satur-
day, we have adopted this method of CIV
ing general circulation to this traitorous
sentiment ofthe Wing candidate for the
Presidency. There is ample time for
proof to be obtained to the contrary, if
proof can be had but we have no fears up
on that score the gentlemen whose names
are mentioned in Col McCord's letter, ARE
sufficient guarantees for the correctness
of the statement:

his designs. The captains of cur sbins
and steamboats,, and the agents of chr
numerous corporate Institutions. are IN
many cases of this character "Are thew
qualified for the peculiar duties oftbeir

much prefer men whom We could approve
IN all things, we employ them without
-scruple. We sail in their ships. we en-
trust them with our property, we vote 70,
them at the meetings of Stockholders
when we cannot find equally able men
whom We approve in all things. We al
so make compromises with other stockboI-
ders, and take such men, when they will
not give US others whom We should on the
whole prefer. We do not abandon cur
charge, because those with whom we act.
deny us all that wecould wish on this sub
ject. We do chat zoe can, Mr.. Wiber-
force acted on this principle, and it en-
abled him to do much. If he had acted
on the contrary principle, he would have
done nothing.
4. Mr.. Wilberforce felt. that no man
in his senses, could regard him, while ac-
ting on this principle as giving any sane
ton to the errors of Mr. Pitt in private
life No evil of this kind did actually re-
suit for the vote he gave. No one was
ever led so entirely to misconstrue that
vote. as to imagine that Mr. Wiberforce
gave any sanction of duelling, sabbath
breaking, or intoxication, by his political
connection with Mr. Pitt. Was he not,
then, perfectly conscientious and upright
in what he did, He made no sacrifice of
character or principle, he gave not the
slightest countenance to wrong doing
while he stood firm at his post, and upheld
that system of measures which he consid-
cred essential to the highest interests Of
his country.
