JUSTICE.

"Justce to Van Buren, 'justce to John Tyler"
are the rayng cries of their respective partizans
We should think Van Buren, had experienced JUS
tice enough in being expelled from office by 1907
900 majority and Tyler justice enough in not
having single supporter reelected to either
branch of Congress But if they are not satisfied,
the people will confirm these sentences next fall,
in such thunder tones that Van will never again
hope to resume his old trade of ea6C0ging, and
Tyler will shed more tears than he did when Gen.
Harrison was nominated in 1889
Seriously, however, this cry of 'justice' 10 de-
eated or neglected politician is Of no real weight,
and can have little influence with the people. II

esty in rejecting these candidates, for they are now

DIsINTERMNET OF THE DEAD.-The re-
moval of the remains of bodies inferred in
the west part of the old burying ground,
within the range of the Hartford Railroad.
to place in the new cemetery, has been go
ing on for the past two weeks under the SUI
pervision of competent persons This spot
has been used for burial ground for about
two hundred years, during which period, it
is estimated that from seven to ten Thousand
persons have been inferred there. In the
section where the work of exhumation is go-
ing on, graves are found one upon another,
in contiguous positions, showing that it has
been repeatedly dug over Indeed the whole
sub-soil in that part of the ground seems to
be full of human bones. The older graves
were mostly six feet in depth, and we were
surprised to learn that in some of these, the
remains of bodies that had been inferred
more than one hundred years were found in
a state admitting of removal.-Springfeld

Ye lovely flowers, so bright and fair,
So fresh and fragrant too;
Ye surely gathered were with care,
And bath d in morning dew.
A long and toilsome way ye We come,
Ger river, hill and plain,
To tell me OF my childhood's home,
And friends who there remain.
l see the garden where we grew,
hear the wild birds sing,
And through the aisles the red-breast runs,
Or mounts on soaring wing.
The trellis for the grapes see,
Which forms pleasant walk,
Where friends, tho sad, or friends inglee,
Can freely think and talk.
The lilacs, and the snow balls too,
The currants and the thyme,
The goose-berrics and the almond tree,
So beauteous in their prime.
Syringas sweet and many trees,
The cherry, peach and plum,
And apple, where the busy bees,
To sip their sweets may come.
The eastern garden, too, see,
Receiving toll and care,
And yielding very bounteously,
Rewards in comforts rare.
Tomatoes and asparagus,
Pie plant and melons sweet,
Peas, beans, and lettuce, pepper-grass,
And corn, the palate greet.
And farther still, the orchard fair,
Where locusts shade the spring,
Whose waters, clear and cool and pure,
Do health and comfort bring.
The mountain steep, or fertile dell,
Where brilliant wild-howers grew;
How beautiful cannot tell,
But well my father knew.

Portrays the past, and times dark veil
Seems quickly drawn aside.

When spring-tide torrents roar,
Or see the gorgeous sunset glow
Reflect from shore to shore.

OF friends kind Heduen gave,
And mournfnl think upon the loss
OF those within the grave.
But faith reveals brighter world,
To which they led the way;
And they, perhaps, may welcome US
To joys Of endless day.
May we, the living who remain,
United be in love;
Nor, thoughlless, cause each other pain,
But seek home above.
My Father dear will please accept
These humble, heartfelt lays;
My Brothers and my Sister too,
Will share my thanks and praise.
May blessings pure be theirs on earth,
Sweet peace be ever given;
And their best hopes reveal their worth,

Southport telegraph. [volume] (Southport, W.T. [i.e. Kenosha, Wis.]) 1840-1850, 1844-07-16
" TO THE PUBLIC.

Whereas all obnoxious article was pub
lshed in the Southport Telegraph, of April
Odd, 1914, making several insnuations, also
direct charges in these words which arc
quoted from that paper:
"Af'er the bill appropria,ing money for
the construction of harbor at this place
(Southport) passed the House of Represen-
tativcs, this honorable gentleman, (Capt
Cram) took it upon himself to interrupt and
endeavor to defeat its passage by the Sen
ate. To do this he INDUCED in misrepre-
sensations contradcting official Reports that
he himself had before made, &c"
To this charge and to all other insinua-
tons contained in said article of the Tele-
graph, which if true would be d;screditablc
we are authorized by Capt. Cram to pro-
nounce utterly false and without foundation.
Other papers will confer favor by publish
ing this ''-Rdcinc Advocate,
This extract from the Telegraph of the
23d, is correctly quoted. That part of it in
which Captain Cram is accused of contra
dieting his previous official reports, is found
ed in error, and is incorrect When, howe
yer, we admit this much, we believe we ad-
nit all that in Justice we are bound to-
The hostility Of Capt. Cram to this place
and her citizens, is well known. He has ne
yer shown a disposition 10 treat US with any
degree of fairness, and has lent all his ener-
gies in aid OF our neighboring rival, where he
has permanent interest. After the South
port harbor bill passed the House last session
and was sent up for the action Of the Senate,
he stated to Senator Woodbridge that to
make a spacious and commodous harbor
here, would cost $40, 900. True, he once
reported that to pier and open the north and
south mouths of Pike creek and make one
of the most commodious harbors in the coun-
try would cost that sum; and he also report
ed that good harbor could be made for half
the money. When he made this statement
be knew that we neither asked for, expected
nor wanted such harbo-; the most we ask
ed for was such an one as he reported would
cost but half the money. Why then did he
make this statement to Woodbridge? Was it
not dictated by the same feeling which he
has always manifested towards US; did he not
design TO leave the impression on Wood
BRIDGES mind that it would be impolitc to
commence the construction ola harbor here
In view then of the facts are we not justified
in saying that he interfered against South
port and endeayored 10 defeat her appropr-
alton?
As to the other insinuations contained in
the article alluded to, the Captain says they
are false. Perhaps they are and perhaps
nots there are variety of opinions ON the
subject. The Captain however, is welcome
TO the full benefit of his denial.
