to the American people the Olive Branch of Union. Yet have no idea it was intentional. It must have arisen from the binding action of political prejudice.
 Now il. conclusion, permit me to pay my re- spects to the vapid insipdty of the Issue's third article. That article in which he acknowledges that MT. Polk did what the Shield charged him with doing: approving the Wilmot proviso in the Oregon Bill.
 In the first place the Issue tries to make out that the Shield makes false charge. The amount of the whole is that Mir. Polk did not .fdUor the Wilmot proyiso. Yet in another part of the same article he has the candor to ac- knowledge what the record would prove if he had denied it-that Mr. Polk signed the Oregon Bill, Upon this admission we must base some- thing and look further. He is very profuse in his words to hide the Wlmot proviso clause; but by close inspection we likewise find this ad- mission. His admission then amounts to this: that Mir. Polk signed bill having incorporated in it the Wilmot proviso. Now this Mir. Issue, dHu NlI DOD JpHHSOll, dlIu lllG NIlOIC Ol tlIdI tribe of politicians, charge that the Wimot pro- viso is unconstitutional. If unconstitutional nothing should have induced MT. Polk to sign that bill, because he had taken an oath to support the Constitution. Therefore the excuses which the Issue makes for Mir. Folks signing the Oregon Bill, according to the Issue's version of the Constitution, amount to nothing, and are un- worthy of the purpose for which they are used for according to pure political morals, no political necessity can justify violation of the constitu- ton.
 As for the conclusion of this article it is in keeping with the commencement and the body Witness his saying that the slavery clause was a nullity, when he must have known that it evolved principle, and no principle can be a nullity. Witness likewise, his saying that NIT. Polk never made any acknowledgment to aboli- tionism or Freesoilism, in the very same breath in which he acknowledges that he approved the Wilmot Proviso. Now all this may arise from the Issue's not knowing any better, as l have no doubt arose his calling the Hon. Butler King Northern Free-soiler. But if even so, an editor should never say anything that he was not con- fident in regard to. If he will do so, and his paper is full of blunders, people will lose conf- dence in what he says.
 But all this, as compared with the main point, the Nashville Convention, is trash. But it will, however pave the way for what have to say upon this latter subject, which I must reserve for another article. AMERICUS.

The Poor Mans Grave.
BY ELIZA COOK.

No ssble pail, no waving plume, No thousand torch-lights to ilume; No rtrting glance, no heavy tear, Is sen to fall upon the bier. The1 IS no one of kindred clay To watch the coffin on its way; No nbrtal form, no human breast Card where the paupers bones may rest. Bat de deep mourner follows there Wh9e grief outives the funeral prayer; fte cAes net sigh he does not weep, \ RusNsI noi leave the sodless heap.
 Iislw Whe was ne poor mans mate, t Ar.sa1s nm ln ire content with fate;
 gl doa that shared his crus. I ls~aIl lhat stands beside his dust. He beads his listening head as though He thought to hear a voice below; He pines to miss that voice so kind, And wonders why he's left behind. The sun goes down, the night is come, He needsno 'ocd--he seeks no home; But stretched upon the dreamless bed. With doeful howl calls back the dead. The passing gaze may coldly dwell On all that polished marbles tell; For temples built on churchyard earth Are claimed by riches more than worth. But who would mark with undimmed eyes The mourning dog that starves and dies? Who would not ask, who would not crave Such love and faith 10 guard his grave?

Great Cotton Speculation.

It is stated that greater speculation is at this time raging in cotton than has been known since the great speculating year of 1895. The New Workers, in particular, have the fever in its most violent form.- The article has risen, in that market, two cents per pound in the last two weeks, and at the rate of quarter of cent per pound, each week, for the last sixteen weeks. It is now just one hundred per cent. higher than it was year ago. The sales of the last fortnight in New York have been 49,- 935 bales; being the largest business in that market of any fortnight on record. The sales are chiefly tospeculators, to who become excited and continually bid up the market against each other. For the present, foreign orders for cotton have ceased-the New York price being several cents in advance of the Liverpool market. On the strength of this circumstance, the Hartford Times states that several Boston speculators have sent out an order to purchase 25,O0O bales in Eng land; and there is also rumor that combination was forming in New fork to despatch an agent with funds, and sweep the Liverpool market clear of the article. The low interest of money abroad (la to per cent. per annum) favors an operation oi this kind, and if carried out it will astonlsh | John Bull omewhat.-LotoeU Courier.

"He rose, the cloak fell, and I beheld his face. Gentlemen the sight of that face struck me like thunder clap. It was the face of dead man, whom extraordinary events have called back to life. The fea- lures were those of George Washington; yes, gentlemen, the intruder was none other than GEORGE WASHINGTON. He was dress ed in the revolutionary costume, such as you see preserved in the Patent Oflice"-
 Here Mir. Calhoun paused, apparently much agitated. His agitation, need not tell you, was shared by the company Toombs at length broke the embarrassing pause. "Well, we'll, what was the issue of ibis scene2' MT, Calhoun resumed:
 ''This intruder, as have said, rose aid asked to look at my right hand. As though l had not the power to refuse I extended it. The truth is, 1 felt a strange chill pervade me at the touch; he grasped it, and held it near the light, thus affording me full time to examine every feature of his face. It was the face of Washington. Gentlemen, shuddered as beheld the horribly dead- ahve look of that visage. After holding my hand for moment, HE looked at me stead ", and sad m qulet way:
 "'And with this right hand, Senator from South Carolina, you would sign your name to paper, declaring the Union dssolved'
 q answered in the affirmative. 'Yesp said l, if certain contingency arises Twill sign my name to the Declaration of Disso- lution.' But at that moment, black blotch appeared on the back of my hand; an inky blotch, which seem to see even now What is that? cried |, alarmed, know not why, at the bIotch upon my hand.
 "'That,' said He, dropping my hand, that is the mark by which Benedict Arnold is known in the next world'
 "He said no more, gentlemen, but drew from beneath his cloak an object which he placed upon the table placed if upon the very paper on which was writing. That object, gentlemen, was skeleton.
 "'There said He, there are the bones of Isaac Hayne, who was hung in Charleston by the British. He gave his life, in order to establish the Union. When you put your name to Declaration of Dissolution, why you may as we'll have the bones of Isaac Hayne before you. But there was no blotch upon his right hand"-
 "With these words the intruder left the room. 1 started back from the contact with the dead mans bones and-awoke. Over worn with labor, had fallen asleep and been dreaming. Was it not a very singular dream?"
 All the company answered in the affirm atiye. Toombs muttered, "Singular-very singularl' at the same time looking rather curiously at the back of his right hand and MT. Calhoun, placing his head between his hands seemed buried in thought.
