POETRY
FOR THE COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.

TUX iHI COLUMBIA DEMOCVAT.
Ye honest and candid come listen,
Let reasoniy our judgement now sway,
What have the Coons for the country done
But promise and never repay.
Reform and relrenchmenl they should,
Through the nation by nigh, and by day
And deceived by their Crocodile tears,
SThe Democrats gave them The sway.
~ hen swift with The broom of prescription
tIainger swept his hundred a day.
And the other partisan leaders,
with cheeefulness marched The same way
Each offices was then quickly summoned
Pills politics open must lay.
kAnd if they were found Democratic,
8Then his lie The foIlei. must pay.
tFrom cellar TO garIel each Office
BO'er which ihe Cabinet has sway,
ROt Democracy ceanly was swept.
fFo this the coons dare not say nay,
The expense of The nation was high,
lBy millions too high did they say,
But soon as they came into power,
The thought of re,renchmeut was nay.
Thus each pledge and each promise they
made,
Stands plain but falsehood to day,
And confidence no more can they gam,
For who can believe what they say
The prosperity tha, they promised,
Like smoke has all vanished away,
And the overnowing treasury,
Has proved but chids dreams of play.
A change in the administration,
Has brought men 10 reason they say,
And though the coons shout for protection
They cant protec. Henry Clay,
The Tariff is all they can offer
Rut is the Tariff theirs now say,
Was not the Tariff strongly opposed,
And tha. in the Senate by Clay.
The Army the Spoons and the Carriage,
In eighteen forty bore great sway,
But such arguments are useless now,
And carefully are packed away,
Aud relrencEment too is out of date.
Also reform has had its day,
And all the Federal Coons can shout,
Is Tariff, Tariff, Tariff, Clay
NUMA.

TENNESSEE.

The Nashville papers bring us some further
returns. Forty three of the seveny-three coun-
ties in the State have been heard from, and ex-
hibit the following result:
The Locofocos have made gains in %
counties amounting in the aggregate to 1898
The Wings have made gains in ID coun-
ties amounting in the aggregate to 1874
Nett Locofoco gain in 43 counties, :, 1854
In Davidson county, neither party lost or gain

from, which are mostly Wing, Col. Polk must
have made gain of 1870, on last years cleo
tion-when Governor Jones beat him by ma
Jority of 3,S33-in order to carry the State. As
there are no AbolHonists, or Birney- men, in those
counties, it is quite probable, we think, that he
has failed to make that amount of gan---and
therefore failed to carry the State =, ~

length upon the deep and abiding interest Of the
Northern States in the perpetuty of the Union.
Without the South to consume, the North must
cease to manufactnre-must cease to produce a
surplus OF agricultural products, and must cease
to import nearly all the foreign commodities that
are at present introduced into the United States
The agriculture, manufactures, and commerce Of
the Northern States deeply interested in the
perpetuy of the Union, and its dissolution would
be the ruin of them all. Indeed, so fully is this
great pecuniary interest of the North in the
Union appreciated, that the Southern agtaors
rely upon it in no small degree as an engine of
terror to induce REIMBURSEMENT of the protective
policy.
II will, therefore, be found far more difficult for
the Nulliiers and the Aboltionsts combined to
effect dissolution of the Union than might at
first be imagined. When Yankees cease to value
the advantages of trade and commerce in a vast
and valuable home market and when Virginians
Kentuckians, and Mssourians cease to prize the
worth of their slaves, then may Notification and
Abolition hope for success in overturning the
Union.

HONOR TO THE PATRIOT.

The Philadelphians, we understand. contom-
plate grand and fitting testimonial to our Great
Statesman. They propose raising, by small sub
scriptions-none to exceed FIVE dollars-he sum
of twenty thousand dollars, to be paid TO Powers,
the Scup tor for statue of Mr.. Clay TO be
placed in suitable building in one of the public
squares Of the city. Probably since the death of
the Father Of his Country, here has never at any
time been sorrow SO pefvading and so profound
as that which follows the discovery that Mr.
Clay is defeated. The intelligent and right
minded regard him with an affection which no
other public man ever inspired, and which is only
surpassed by that devotion to country which in
duced the desire of his election to the Presidency.
Henry Clay is defeated-worse than that, the
People are defeated-and the last suffer. For
him the Presidency had few if any attractions.
1t could add nothing to his greatness or to his
reputation Who would not rather be Henry
Clay than be President If there be any such,
we pity him. How true, how much truer than
ever before, are the following lines by Whittier
~ Y. Tribune.

"HE is NOT FALLEN"

. Nor FALLEN! No. as well the tall
And pillared Allegany fall
AS well Ohlo's giant tide
Roll backward on its mighty track,
As he, Columbia's hope and pride,
The slandered and the sorely tried,
In his triumphant course turn back
He is NOT FALLEN! Seek TO bind
The chanless and unbidden wind
Oppose the torrents headlOng course,
And turn aside the WhIrlWind's force
But deem We not the mighty mind
Will cover before the blast of hate,
Or quail at dark and causeless ill;
For though all else be desolate,
1t stops not from its high estate
A Alarlus mid the ruin still.
He is NOT FALLEN Every breeze
That wanders DER Columbia's bosom,
From wild PenObscot's forest trees,
From ocean shore, from inland seas,
Or where the rich Magnolia's blossom
Floats, snow like, on the sultry wind,
Is booming onward on his ear,
A homage to his lofty mind
A need The falling never find,
praise which patriots only hear.
STAR OF THE WEST! A million eyes
Are turning gladly unto him;
The shrine Of old idolatrics
Before his kindlng light grows dim
And men awake as from dream,
Or meeors dazzling to betray;
And bow before his purer beam,
The earnest Ola better day.
ALL HAIL! the hour is Fastening on
When, vainly tried by SANDERS flame,
Columbia shall behold her son
Unframed, without laurel gone,
AS from the flames of Babylon
The angel guarded trial came
The Slanderer shall be silent then,
His spell shall leave the minds OF men,
And higher glory wait upon
The WESTERN PATRIOTS future fame.
