For the National Era.
ICHAB0D!

SO fallen, so lost! the light withdrawn
Which once he were
The glory from his gray hairs gone
Foreyermors!
Reyile him not--the Tempter hath
A snare for all;
And plying tears, not scorn and wrath,
Be6t his fall.
Oh! dumb be passions stormy rage,
When he who might
Have lighted up and led his age
Falls back in night.
Scorn! would the angels laugh TO mark
bright soul driven,
Fieud-goaded, down the endless dark,
From hope aud heaveni
Let not the land once proud Ofhlm
Insult him now,
Nor brand with deeper shame his dim
DishOuoied brow.
But, let it's humbled sons, instead,
From sea to lake,
A long lament as for the dead
In sadness make.
Ofall we loved AMI honOred, nought
Save power remains
fallen angels pride of thought
Still strong in chains.
All else is gone; from those great eyes
The soul has fed;
When faith is lost, when honor dies,
The mas. 20 20 lead,
Then, pay the reverence of old days
To his dead fame;
wsik backward with sversea ssEe5-4-.'--'''--

PUBLIC PRINTING.

The subject Of public printing is exciting much
interest, in Congress and ont of it, The contract
sys:sas properly managed and allowed fair play, is
undoubtedly the most economical and the least liza
BILE to abuses But it is supposed to be regarded
with an unfriendly eye BY political presses estab-
ished here, and the impression prevails that there
has been plot on the part of one of them,
to throw such embarrassments in the way of
its operations as to break it up. The subject
is under discussion in the Senate, and the House,
on motion of MIR. Wentworth, has adopted reso-
luton directing searching inquiry into every
department Off We hope full information may
be elected
Mr.. Mangum remarked the other day, in the
Senate, that the best plan would be to have all
the public printing done by Government press
and he added
sThere is only one countervailing consideration,
and that is to which different persons will at
tribute probably very different degrees of import
ance Ii is this: that it is almost impossible TO
maintain political press in this city, where there
is comparatively no advertising, ms there is in the
Baltimore, No antr Snicn Is 'as 6nderstsIiSs the
great pabulum Of the daily press everywhere,
without some support from the patronage OF the
Government in some or all of its departments
There can be no doubt that the public patron
age is all-important - nay, vital - to the party
papers in this city. But we can tell Mr. Mangum
that it is possible for a political press to exist
here without single crumb of such patronage
The National Era has lived nearly three years
and a half on its own subscription list no thanks
to the Government or any of its departments
The patronage of the people is worth more than
that of their servants. We beg of Mr. Mangum,
should he hereafter, in pushing his scheme of a
Government press, deem it advisable to make
some provision for administering to the wants Of
the political presses in the District, not to give
himself any trouble about the Era

Is il any wonder in view Of these facts that
the slavery propagandists should be meditating
schemes of wholesale slave expectation to the
shores Of the Pacific The newspapers Of the
South are furnishing sufficient evidence Of this
internal purpose, while such men as Clay, Web
ster, and CAss, are talking about slavery being
prohibited by an irrspealsbls law Of God In
