THE REPU BLIC.

Hon. MIR. Bradish rose TO offer 10 the convention
paper "a proest) from the minority OF this house,
and 10 ask that it be received and entered on the
journal. By the vote just now recorded, they had
contaminated an act which the respectable minor
ity believed to violate high principles, and to be
pregnant with great evils to the church.
Hon. Mr. Spencer objected 10 the reading or re-
cepton Of the paper; it could not be done; he cha
lenged them TO show a precedent for such pro
ceeding. IL was true the House of Lords, IN Lon
don, by peculiar privilege of that body, were 50
empowered but it was not known in the House OF
Commons, nor in the Legislative assemblies OF this
country, and he opposed il as new, unprecedented,
and dangerous.
The question of the reception of the protest was
then put, when it negatived by majority OF
81.
Several resolutions pertaining 10 some alterations
in the constitution were assened 10 without debate;
after which vote of thanks unanimously
passed to DR.. Creighton for his dignlted conduct
in the chair.
DR.. Creighton returned thanks, and the conven-
ton adjourned sine die.

The Election I'm the City of Philadelphia.
Our friends in Philadelphia write to US
that the city Wing ticket for Mayor and
Councilmen will be carried by a large ma
jority. We expect nothing less from the
exertions Of the Wings and the friends of
General Taylor in that city. There he
was first nominated by political meeting
of Wings, over which John Sergeant pre-
sided; there the battle was fought which
ended in his triumphant elevation to the
office of Chief Magistrate Of the Union;
and there he will look for steady politi-
cal support during his Administration.
Wings of the city Of Philadelphia and
friends of General Taylor we do not say
to you carry the city ticket-that you will
do without doubt; but carry it with your
usual force-carry it unitedly and with an
overwhelming majority.

be imbibed by the rising generation TO remotest
ages; and the foundations of national policy be
laid and continued in the superstructure in the
pure and immutable principles ofprivate morality,
since there is no truth thoroughly established
than that there exists in the economy and course of
nature an indissoluble union between virtue and
happiness, between duty and happiness, between
duty and advantage, between the genuine ma xims
of an honest and magnanimous people and the
solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity !
since ought TO be no less persuaded that The propi
tious smiles Of Heapen can neper be expected

right ,otich Hearen tse has ordained since the
preservation Of The sacred fire Of liberty and The destiny
Of the republican model Of government justly con
sidered as deeply, perhaps finally, staked the erpe
inent entrusted 10 the hand of he Amercar people!

ly respectful good wishes. | am, madam, with
sincere esteem, your obedient and faithful humble
servant BUCHAN.

Wilnot proviso, and that General TAYLOR
will sign it. Why did not the Union say
both the editors, at once' What was the
use of the Some or bothp We appre-
bend that the Union knows just about as
much of what General TAYLOR will do,
as OF what the editors of the Republic
think. We shall say nothing on this sub
ject till the Union swears to its state
ment-which it will do in about week,
and then it will aver also that it derived
its information from WING, OF a neutral
journal.

OCTOBER.

BY THE LATE WILLIS GAYLORD CLARK
solemn, yet beautiful to view,
Month of my heart. thou dawnest here,
With sad and faded leaves 10 strew
The summers melancholy bier.
The moaning ofthy winds hear,
As the red sunset dies afar,
And bars fpurple clouds appear,
Obscuring every western star.
Thou solemn month! hear thy voice;
Ii tells my soul OF other days,
When but TO live was 10 rejoice,
When earth was lovely to my gaze!
Oh, visions brighton, blessed hours,
Where are their living raptures now!
Task my spirits wearied powers
ask my pale and fevered brow!
look to Nature, and behold
NV life's dim emblems rusthng round,
In hues of crimson and OF gold
The years dead honors on the ground;
And, signing with the winds, feel
While their low pinions murmur by,
How much their sweeping tones reveal
OF life and human destiny.
When Springs delightsome moments shone,
They came in zephyrs from the West,
They bore the wood lark's melting tone,
They stirred the blue lakes CLASSY breast;
Through Summer, fainting in the heat,
They fingered in the forest shade;
But, changed and strengthened now, they bea
In storm, DER mountain, glen, and glade.
How like those transports of the breast
When life is fresh and JOY Is new,
Soft az the halcyon's downy nest,
And transient all as they are true!
They stir the leaves in that bright wreath
Which Hope about her forehead twines,
Till Grief's hot signs around IT breathe,
Then Pleasures lip Its smile resigns.
Alas, for Time, and Death, and Care,
What gloom about our way they fling!
Like clouds in Autumn's gusty air,
The burial pageant of the Spring:
The dreams that each successive year
Seemed bathed in hues of brighter pride,
At last like withered leaves appear,
And sleep in darkness side by side!

Harve.. Hymn for 1919.


BY MARTIN FARaUAR TuPPER.
Again, through every county
OF Britain's happy shores,
The great Creators bounty
Unstinted plenty pours;
Again TO him returning,
In thankfulness We raise,
Our hearts within Us burning,
The sacrifice of praise.
O, great as is thy glory,
Thy goodness doth excel!
What harp can hymn the story'
What tongue the tale can tell
The boundless breadth of Nature
Is spread beneath thy throne,
And every living creature
Is fed by thee alone
Rejoice for overlooking
is each abundant field;
The Lord has blest the sowing,
The Lord has blest the yield
The mower has mown double,
The reaper doubly reap'd'
And from the shining stubble
Her head the CLEANER heap'd.
Rejoice for mercy blesses,
And Judgment smites no more,
The God Of Grace possesses
Araunah's threshing floor
The gains of honest labor
Are shower'd from above,
And neighbor looks on neighbor
In happiness and love.
o, men Of all conditions,
The high or humbly born,
Away with low sedition!
Away with lofty scorn'
Mix kindly with each other,
For God has given TO all
The common name Of brother,
And gladdens great and small
And Erin ! thou that starvest
So patient on thy sod
To thee, 10 thee, this harvest
Is come, the gift of God |!
Cheer up, though woes Cypress thee !;
BE diligent and true,
And with thy Queen 70 bless thee,
Her King shall bless thee too.

unbecoming an American officer, and de-
serving the rebuke which the French gov
eminent desired should be administered
to him. Ii was little in its eyes to Sacri-
flee gallant officer, or the honor of the
American flag, if by so doing it could
wound President TAYLOR, or place his adj
ministration in an untenable or disgraceful
position. That sacrifice ii has sought to
make. Some of the more bitter and unscru-
pulous of the Opposition journals have fol-
lowed its example but the American spirit
generally revolts from it-and the Union
knows that we have only to call upon Mr..
CLIFFORD to procure complete vindica-
ton of Commander CARPENDER from the
aspersions which have been so literally
showered upon him. But the Union,
knowing the gross injustice of which it
has been guilty to that officer and to the
navy, permits its infamous insinuations
and allegations to stand before the coun-
try uncontradcted and unexplained.
TIC CUtOH SilOulu TtIltCt tudt IL even
impairs its position as the representative
of the foreign interests by this unfairness.
1t cannot aid M. PoUssIN and the French
government, by dealing thus dishonesty
with our own citizens. 1t will lose all in
fluence, even as the French organ, by
adopting this course. If it cannot be per-
suaded, by considerations of justice and
propriety, to place Commander CARpEN-
DER right before the country, let it re-
member that this injustice will react upon
the government it represents and the
cause it advocates. Respect for the in
terests of its foreign employers, therefore,
if nothing else, should induce it to with
draw its calumnies against Commander
CARpENDER

The Historical Society had an interesting meet

"It is vain to deny that we have in this country
monarchical party. They exist in all countries
republics as well as those in which their prnci-
Piles prevail. We have American citizens residing
in this country and breathing the air of republican
liberty, who are in fact opposed TO republican gov
ernment. They dare not avow publicly that they
monarchists, for that would defeat their ulti
mate scheme, which is TO change our government
to monarchy, and perhaps it might endanger
their own personal safety. They therefore, pass
under the name of Conservatives, or Wings The
Cabinet now in power represents that recreant
class of American citizens"
The above extract from editorial article in the
Washington Union is made the subject of good
natured ridicule in most of the Wing papers. But
confess the sensation it creates in minds is
disgust inconsistent with laughter. For what un-
fathomcd level of intellect for what blind, besot
ted prejudces, must that journal cater which can
gravey put forth the assertion that the Cabinet of
General Taylor represents class of American cit
liens DESTROYS OF changing our government to a
monarchy Is there an American citizen, with the
gift of reason, who docs not regard the assertion
simple, unadulterated lie? 1t was but the other
day that journal opposed to the administration
was sneering at two members of the Cabinet be-
cause they had risen from mental stations to their
present positions. One Of them poor tanners
boy, and another day -laborer in his youth. But
here these men, who, under the fostering sun
shine of institutions, find poverty and lowly
birth no bar to their elevation to honor and to for
tune-who no sooner attain prosperity and dis
tinction which they could not have aspired to un-
der different institutions, than they treacherously
become the representatives Of class who would
change our glorious republic to monarchy.
The charge really seems too ridiculous to ava
ken emotion of so much dignity as contempt.
And yet here is the organ" of great party seri-
ously asserting and insisting upon it Is it not
painful to political rancor converting men
either into the fools that could believe, the
knaves that could assert without believing, such a
preposterous and utterly silly accusation p Boston.

The public can Judge as to the differ
ence between the two as well as we can,
or as well as Mr.. BURKE can. We give
the two provisoes-they are copied from
the Union. We have not compared them
with the provisoes as we published them on
Monday morning, but we presume that
they are correctly copied. Mr.. BURKE,
we would distinctly say, neuer voted for
the proviso III the right-hand column; the
proviso he voted for, we desire our readers
to observe particularly, is the proviso in
the lelt-hand column.
We ought, in justice to Mr.. BURKE, to
state in his defence, as he himself states,
that fue southern Wing members of Con-
gress and JACoB CoLLAMER and TRU-
MAN SMITH lin small capitals) voted with
him. Mr.. BURKE seems to be as proud
of voting in their company as if he had

The wilmot Proviso.

The Union of Sunday asserted that Mr..
BURKE, one of the co-editors of that Jour
nal, was not Wilmot provisoist 1t de-
nounced the statement as utterly untrue.
On Monday morning we republished the
Wilmot proviso, and alongside of it the
proviso for which Mr.. Burke did vote.
Mr.. BURKE slept on it for two or three
days, and on Thursday morning published
an article, OF couple of columns, setting
forth his votes on a variety Of subjects,
and, while admitting that we correctly re-
published the two provisoes, and correctly
stated that he, Mr.. BURKE, voted for one
of them, and left the public to Judge
for themselves as to the difference, this
pink of courtesy calls upon us, in the fol-
lowing polite manner, to reprint his two
columns:
"The SANDER originated in the false and lying
pamphlet of Truman Smith, and has at last been
re-echoed by the Republic If the Republic, after
giving currency to the Islander, is disposed to do
justice, it will republish the exposition of our
course, which have above given. II not, il
may bear the infamy of wilfully eliminating a
contemporary editor, and persisting in the cal
jimmy"
ISLANDER and calumny ~ The
I" SANDER" and 60 calumny"is admitted to
be the truth by the Union itself, from
which we copy the two provisoes, reaffirm-
ing that Mr.. BURKE voted for the left-hand
provlso, which he says is ga very different
thing from the Wilmot proviso." The
Union says:
"In addition TO all this, the proviso which we
voted for is a very different thing from the Will
mot proviso. To show the difference between
them, we give them side by side

ISDIGo.-Cuious Fdct.-The Indigo plant was
native of South Carolina. 1t grew spontaneously
among its weeds and woods. More than one hun
dred years ago the planters there commenced its
cultivation In the year 174S, South Carolina ex-
ported to Great Britain 100000 pounds, and the
Parliament granted bounty of twelve cents per
pound to induce its greater cultivation. In 1857,
Indigo one of the staples of South Carolina,
and we believe of Georgia also. Now, in l549, not
single pound of Indigos raised in South Carolina,
or as far as we know in all the South.
