THE LONELY TAPER.

There has always been to me something
inexpressibly touching in the single taper
burning through the long and lonely hours
of silence and sleep. 1t must mark some
weary vigil; one, perhaps, by the sick
couch, where rests the pale face on which
we dread every moment 10 look our last.
How the very heart suspends its beating
in the hushed stiffness OF the sick cham
ber! what a history Of hopes, fears, and
cares. are IN its. hours! How does love
then feel lis utter fondness and its HELPLESS
ness! How is the more active business
of The outward world forgotten in the deep
interest of the hushed world in those dar-
kened wals!-a look, a tone, a breath. Is
there of vital Importance. With what
tender care the cup is raised to the fever
ish lip; with what intense anxiety The CO.
Tor is watched on the wasted cheek! How
are the pulses counted on the thin hand,
and sometimes in vain!
Again, that lonely taper, how often is
it the companion and sign of studies for
which the day is too short--studies that
steal the gloss from the sunny hair, and
the ligh; from the overiaxed eye!

the Union lying at this time heavy on their
souls. They have each in his way, done
all in his power TO defeat the late treaty
annexing Texas TO the Union; and have
most faithfully co-operated with their as

North. When the thirteen members of
Congress, with John Quincy Adams at
their head, declared, at the close of the
late Congress, that they would dissolve the
Union if Texas were annexed TO it, they
were dumb--so vehement we're their anx-

AND THE NASHVILLE WING, TOO.

1t is passing strange-it is almost be-
You'd credence--that a paper conducted
by an old citizen of Tennessee, as the
Nashville Wing is, should so far lose sight
of truth, justice, and veracity, as TO lend
the use of its columns and authority to the
charge that the proposed mass convention
of the 10Th of August, is intended to be
used as means of promoting a spirit OF
disunion among the people of the United
States, and as means of connecting a
plan for the separation of the States, In
volving a destruction of the constitution.
The editor of the Wing does know that
there is not citizen of Tennessee con-
cerned in getting up the convention, who
would not sacrifice his life, if necessary,
to preserve the Union. The whole charge
of disunion--of the object of the conven.
ton being anything else than an honora.
BILE design TO strengthen and cement the
Union--is falsehood so shamefully base
and ridiculous, that we feel ashamed, as
citizen of Tennessee and of the South, to
be compelled to contradict it, Those who
the charge in any form, directly
or by implication, know in their hearts
that they are propagating a vile SANDER
upon hundreds of thousands of as pure
patriots as have adorned this or any other
age of our honored republic. The Cause
must already be rotten and desperate in

GREAT REACTION IN FAVOR OF
WHIGGERY.

them at naught, and puts them to shame,
by showing the other side of the picture.
That paper says:

minent member of the locofoco party, and
who was their candidate for Congress a
few years since, has come out for CLAW
and Frelinghuysen. Alfred Edwards, his
son, heretofore known as successful To-
cofoco orator, is now on a tour through the
State, using all his influence for the whig
cause"
The Journal of Commerce, in reference
to this statement says "there is some fun
in the world YET, even in politics''-and
by way of letting out the joke explains
that

they determined to aid the Abolitionists

Texas from the Union; and forthwith then
tongues were Ioosened. and they com.

other two. He is decidedly the oldest de-

again, when John Quincy Adams, his
friend in whiggory and anti-Texanism,
presented petition in Congress 10 dis

''not get" in favor of this measure, he
stepped forth TO defend him and protect
the Union; and it was at his motion that

the table. We think, too, we saw some

man from the South who came out against
the annexation of Texas to the Union
looking again undoubtedly TO its salvation.
He wants the Abolitionsts TO remember
this, and pat him accordingly. He dares

miserable applause of these wretched ia

MATTERS Worm RECoLLEcTING.

Have her, we must and will.
st.e
MATTERS Worth RECOLLECTING,
Here are some Of the promises made
by the Wings in 1910:
They would appoint no member Of Con-
gress to once.
They would make no removals for
opinions sake.
They would reduce the expenditures.
They would pay off the national debt.
They would separate the "purse and
the sword" from the hands of the Execu.
tive.
They would make sound and uniform
national currency.
They would "regulate the exchanges. .
They would raise the price of produce.
They would increase the wages of la
Dor.
They would "relieye the people"
How have these promises been kept?-,
This is fair question. Let us see the
answer:
/. On the very day Gen. Harrison took
the chair; ay, before he had time TO warm
the seat, four Wings, members Of Con.
gress were appointed to cabinet offices,
and since that time the number of men,
5ers Of Congress confirmed in Office by
the Wing Senate is greater than at any
previous period since the time of Wash.
ington.
2. Mr.. Granger, the Postmaster Gener-
al, removed 100 postmasters during his
briefpower, "for opinions sake" and sub
sequently boasted that, if he had contin.
ued in office, he should have guillotined
5000 more!
3. The Wing Congress, when it ad-
journed on the Sd OF March, 1913, left
national debt of nearly FIFTY.NINE
When Mr.. Van Buren, re.
lii ed, it was about $5,00O,000. Heaven
only knows what it would now have been
had not President Tyler interposed the
veto power.
The expenditures during Mr.. Van Blu.
ren's last year were $22,35l.l47. Dur.
ing the first year of the "retrenchment''
Wings, they were $26,39l,243; and dur.
ing the next two years, averaged near
25,000,OOO!
4. The 'purse and sword" were scpa-
rated by law passed under Van Buren's
imposing fine and PEN
llty on all officers who used the public
moneys for private purposes.
The Wings, as soon as they came into
power, united the purse and sword again
~ repeating this law, without providing a
substitute.
5. Having done nothing to improve the |
currency, of course they have not kept
hat promise. The currency was good,
when they commenced their attack upon
t, and it is good now-but no thanks TO
hem. 1t has regulated itself, as the dem
crats have always said it would. And as
or the "exchange," there was more fuc-
uation under National Bank, than there
las been since.
6. Under the Wing administration the
PRICES OF PRODUCE and the WA
les OF LABOR have been reduced,
the Wings promised the
cople "two dollars day and roast beef"
nd shelter times.
In brief, they have violated every pro.
Use made in 1910. Now, they have the
lsolence to come before the people with
lie same allurements and false lights =

A ROWLAND FOR AN OLIVER.

/ A ROWLAND FOX AN OLIVER.
The Texas question has prompted sons
maddened minstrel to address "Rallyint
Cry" to New England. 1t appeared il
the Boston Atlas, a paper devoted to Mr.
Webster, and was written by ] G. Whit
tier, whose poetic genius has been dark
ened by his abolition fanaticism. These
verses, however, are much inferior t
many of the emanations of his pen.-
They have drawn from young Citize,
in Richmond an indignant reply, as fol
lows:
AN ECHO TO THE RALLYING CRY
BY vIRGINIAN.
Sons of the gallant South, arise, and giro
your armor on,
A cause of vital interest is to be lost o,
won,
ga traitors plot is Matching now' to rend
this land in twain,
And mar into wilderness our beautiful
domain.
Come from your broad Savannahs, and
fertile ridges forth,
To hurl an angry menace back upon the
frozen North;
We see the naughty Puritan is thirsting
for the blood
Of Cavalier and Huguenot, warm and
coursing flood.
Amid the Revolution, our fathers, side by
side,
Right well stood up for liberty, and STEM
med IMPRESSIONS tide;
They left goodly heritage, which ye
would fling away,
And blight The almost rpened fruit Of ages
in day.
Virginia lores the Union, and breathes a
deadly curse
Upon the wretch, whose fiendish heart
could prompt such fendish verse;
Who, trampling basely in the dust our
holy flag, would dare
To tear its star of glory out and leave il
trailing there.
We will not break the Union-we hallow
and revere
The names of those who made it, the pa.
triot and the seer;
And, should we, as unworthy sons, raise
fierce dissenson's flame,
Their statues, in our Capitol, would cry
aloud for shame.
Look to il, Massachusetts! we've kept the
faith with you,
And long have borne the insolence Of all
this bastard crew;
We never made our liberties and fortunes
less secure,
And must we such insulting threats and
such disgrace endure?
These cotton and tobacco lords" are men
of spirit high,
Who will not brook repeated wrong, or
take too oft the lie;
And if We push these shameful means for
these internal ends,
Yell find them direst enemies as they are
warmest friends.
