A WARNING CRY.


BY MISS SHERIDAN CAREY.
Iolllng from the morning gray f....
Iolling, toiling through the day,
III the spirit faints away,
Bound, in triple iron, boandl
BY the taper's famished light,
Toiling, toiling through the night,
Till the dimmed and aching sight
Sees but shadows gathering round
Till the lips warm hue is gone
Till the brow is worn and wan
I'LL the plying sun looks ON
Gasping slaves in stupor cast
Ioiing through the hours of pain,
Taxing heart, and hand, and brain,
Bread-and scarcely bread-to gain!
Shall this-shall this ever lastl
Shall the spo,ler seize by stealth
Youth, and hope, and strength, and health!
Natures dowry-nature S wealth -
Shall they--shall they ever be-
Youth and hope, an April beams
Strength, delusion! health, dream'l
Age-a fearful CHASTITY theme
Pain, and grief, and penury9
Thou who seest! Thou who hearest!
Thou the mourner's heart who cheerest!
Thou who veiled in clouds, appearest
Swift, and terrible, and strong!
Unto Thee, with stony eye,
Bloodless cheek, and boding cry,
Doomed to toll, and toil-0r DIE,
Want appealeth, "Lord, ho,o long?"
Yc whose L" confidence is gold,
False, rapacious. crafty, bold
Who the laborer's hire withhold
Who the fruits of toll deny
Who the starving poor distress,
Who the weak, the old, oppress-
Tremble! they shall have redress,
Lo! their groans are heard on high!
Tremble! tremblel we'll we may,
Goddess tyrants of day,
Trampling on your fellow clay!
Trampling human hearts to dust!
Vengeance is the Lords! beware!
He will list the poor mans prayer,
Raise the crushed, and chase despair!
Tyrants, wo! TIE LORD is JUsr!
November, 1874.

We have before us the details Of the

artcle:-

1t is said that Francis c. Treadwell, ESQ,

OF the people. 1t would DO madness itself
TO rob these counties and these villages of !
the benefits which nature has bestowed in
this respect 80 asa
Finally, wish TO call the attention Of ey-
cry reader Of the Telegraph TO the subject
of PLANK ROADS. The more reflection
is bestowed on this last proposition, the more
certain am, that it will be found less OBJ
jectionable and combine moro advantages
than any other plan for theroughfare ever
brought before the public. 1t is the cheap
est IN the first construction Except turnpike)
and most durable, and of course must be the
most profitable plan for extensive inland
communication. The cost is much less nor
mile than canal, rail road, or Nc Adamzed
road. and will out-wear four times at least,
any common turnpike in existence. Goods
can be transported chsaper than by either
of the modes just referred to, and in less
time, except by rail road. But there arc
other reasons which have more influence
| with me, than any that have named. II is
decidedly more DEMOCRATIC in its ,endency.
1t will prove, i'll some respects, perfect le-
ueler. The most humble car. could travel
It as we'll as the most costly carriage. Ey-
cry farmer who owns a team, perfectly in
dependent as regards transportation, could
dispose of the products of his farm i'm less
than half the time it now takes him, for he
could then draw double the weight he now
does, and perfect grade of the road would
enable him 10 travel the distance to market
nearly one half quicker. There would then
be no delays in consequence of bad roads or
rainy weather, Cor with substantial oil cloths
for himself, team and produce, he could de-
fly the "peltings of the pitiless storm" Un-
der these circumstances, all the advantages
that arc now enjoyed by the people of the
interior, would remain. 1t would only add
more facilities for their comfort to what they
have already. Ii would build up the towns
at the termination, the same as in the instal.

not destroy the intermediate ones. Proper
ty along the route would be enhanced in va
lue without any drawbacks. The consurDp-
ton of coarse grains would be greatly increa-
sed and the farmer thereby doubly benefited.
The cost of travelling on it would not be any
fgreater than upon the ordinary eastern turn
pixies; for with the same rates of toll, the in
come to the stockholders would probably be
five times that Of any turnpike, owing 10 the
far greater amount of travel that would seek
this channel avoiding the ordinary read. In
conclusion, the enactment of law, at somo
future day, for a Plank Road, when compa-
red with the other projects above referred TO
would enable the representative TO approach
t nearer TO that maxim which should be the
, pole-star of every Legislature under repub-
; lican form Of goyernment-''the creates

PROSPECTUS
THE SPIRIT OF MOCRAC Y
A ,oeekly Journal,
TO BE PUBLISHED IN WooDsFIED, OHIO.
PROSPECTUS
BY JAMES r. Morris.

In assuming the control of a public
Journal, custom renders it necessary,
that the Editor should point out the
course he intends to pursue. In ac-
cordance with this usage, he will brief
ly say, that he intends to advocate
the measures of the Democratic Party;
and that he will inscribe on his BAN
ner, as the voice of Ohio, the name of
MARTIN VAN BUREN, for Presi-
dent of the United States, Subject to
the decision of National Convention,)
and the name Of DAVID TOD, as
The Democratic Candidate for Govern
or of Ohio. In doing this, the Ed
itor hatters himself, that hesmeets the
appreciation of the Democracy of
Monroe County,
In addition to the most important
News Of the day, both Foreign and
Domestic, the. paper will contain the
usual entertaining and instructive va
iety. One object, which the Editor
will keep constantly IN view, AMI of
which he hopes never to loose sight,
will be to guard the interest of the
Farmers, Mechanics, and Working
men generally, in relation to their
rights and the duties they owe to
themselves and posterity.
The Congressional and Legislative
news vilIbe given in the proper sea-
son; and all laws affecting township
officers will be published, each year,
before they arrive for distribution.
The Editor has at considerable
expense, purchased a new printing
press and materials, and therefore
asks. that his feeble exertions to please
and inform the public, may be met by
corresponding liberality on the part
ofhis fellow-citizens, who are the
friends OF LIBERTY and EQUAL RIGHTS.

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1844-04-12

"Gentlemen are requested not to
smoke abaft the wheeI,'' is common
sign on board steamboats,; and, as most
men consider themselves gentlemen,
the request is generally obeyed.
A few days since, however, in a
North River boat, an individual was
seen smoking very comfortably, among
the ladies an the quarterback, IN deh-
ance of the notification.
"You must not smoke here, sir" said
the captain, tapping the offender on the
shoulder.
IL mustn't, hey!-why notl" replied
he, opening his capacious mouth, and
allowing the smoke lazily to escape.
"Dldn't you see the sign?-' all gen
tlemen are requested not to smoke. &C."
"Bless your soul! that don't mean
mc.-l'm no gentlcman--not bit OF
it. You can'tmake a gentleman of me
no how you can fix it."
So saying, Mr.. no gentleman com
menced sucking away at his cigar with
perfect sang froid, and with the air OF
one exempt from all responsibility,
He did, however, at length consent to
finish his smoking operations in a
more suitable place.

From the Richmond Enquirer.
THE PRINCETON.

From the Richmond Enquirer
THE PRINCETON.
The Princeton sailed;-
Twas with joyous crowd:
But, oh! that ship returning,
Was filled with wailing loud.
Toll for the dead!
The talented and brave
Who rose up from the banquet
To step into the grave.
The laugh went round;
The wine was on the lip;
Another guest was coming
Stern Death was on the ship.
The cry was, SNOW
A gun for Washington!
One to our matchless chieftain!"-
And all stood round the gun.
Twas fired-oh, God!
Thick darkness fell on all;
And great Jehovah's thunder
Seem'd on the deck to fall
The gun had burst
In fragments round had flown,
And Death, with blood was sated;
1t ran in torrents down.
Toll for the dead
Crush'd by the whirling brand,
The loved the best! the bravest
The flow'r of all the landl
Toll for the dead!
They laid them side by side
And spread the flag above them
For which they lived and died.
Land of the great,
Hang down thy widow'd HI !;
Your Upshur-Gilmer-Kennon--
Were numberd with the dead
Mourn for the lost,
Snatch'd thus from friends away;
And for the heart OF woman,
So bruis'd that dreadful day.
Bathed with the blood
Of husband, friend and sire;
She's walking through the furnace,
The seven times heated fire.
Weep, woman! weep!
But on the Lord take hold;
He'll bring you from the burning
As were the Three Of old.
Pause, nation pause!
And cease your bitter strife;
In death we all are standing,
Though in the midst of life.
