The Tra1nsfnrnnafinn

Twas night on all the land of INDIAN.
AN humble shepherd lay upon his couch
vi vi fragrant turf; his flock was sleeping near
Inc stars above him shone in glory bright
ana he had watched them long as friends he lov,d :.
But as they faded, one by one in day.
While darkness hid behind the western I,rs
And fragrant gales from Araby the blestn
Whispered, Peace in gentlest, sweetest murmurs
ana q, the soft breath Of morning famed his brow,
ne wondered that no peace could fill his soul.
Ills flock he led along by waters still,
10 seek IN gfeenest pastures them to feed.
lie called them all by name They knew his voice
And grateful for his faithful care, obeyed.
/ ct moHSht sat on his brow, gnawed at his heart,
ana nred his spirit with unearthy strength.
1ho"Sht mat had walked the vigis of the night.
nat morning breezes could not chase awav
Deep thought of home, of countrymen enslaved.
Burned in his soul, and sought for utterance
He bowed his head upon his staff and prayed
For deliVerer, strong and mighty.
his spirit CALLED by the oppressors wrongs,
Like Gagged lion strove to burst its bonds,
he asked for freedom for his countrymen,-
Freedom so dear to every human heart
Freedom for which to die is but to live.
Without which, man is no more MANA slave
with BODY mind nor soul at his command,
In his deep agony long, long he prayed,
I'LL holy faith gave hope to his crushed heart.
He looked abroad. His flock stood still in awe.
On Horeb's brow fame burnt wild and high,
And wreathei itself md leaves Of tender green,
He stood aside to see this wondrous sight.
And gazed, and gazed-and yet again he gazed.
Leaves unconsumed " said he sin searching
Emblem of Israel, mid consuming fires"
voice from out the fame said, Come moth
Put thy shoe off thy foot, for holy is
The ground whereon thou standest thy God
And lsrael's God, have seen the sorrow
OF my people, and heard their bitter cry"
And the meek shepherd hid his face, afraid
To look on God. Yet spake the voice again,
~ come, strong deliverer from wrongs,
For have seen the cruel tasks imposed
BY Egypt's sons and will bring from thence
My people Israel to land that shall
Flow with milk and honey,"-a goodly land
And large; and | will plant them there in peace.
Come, now, Pll send thee down to lead them forth
Fear not,-for with thee will ever be-"
He, who had slept that night an humble shepherd
On the plain Of INDIAN stood that dav
D, glorious, perfect transformation
Complete is man with heavenly armor on.
o. there are hours that give man strength and age,
Moments worth more to him than common years,
Thoughts that take full possession of the soul,
And make it great, and strong, and full of life.
God grant that all of Israel's shepherds
Now, may feel the same transforming power,
And labor well, till every yoke is broken,
And all mankind are free. IDA

a Question.

Two respectable newspapers have pro-
posed to Mayor KrNGsLAND to defy the law
and keep the present Chief of Police In
office, although he should be rejected by the
Common Council.
We desire to put a question to those
journals.
If it can be proved that Mr.. Matsell has
been guilty of misdemeanor, one of whose
penalties is perpetual disability to hold any
office under the City Charter, would those
journals still advise the Mayor to persist IN
nominating him as Chief of Police ?
We do not here speak of CONSTITUTIONAL
or inferential misdemeanor, but of posi-
tive, direct violation of the Charter.
An answer is respectfully requested of
The Eren,ng Post and Courier and En-

REPORTS FROM CUBA.-The letters of
our Havana correspondent, published this
morning, bring intelligence of Revolu-
tionary movement at Puerto Principe. The
report is that there has been a conflict be-
tween some five or six hundred of the peo-
pie of that place and the Government troops,
in which the latter were defeated. We
are not inclined, from the tone of our cor
respondents letters, to attach great deal
of Importance to this report, or to regard
the affair as at the worst anything more
than a local outbreak, which the Govern
ment willhave little difficulty in suppressing.
There is, however, fevcrish state Of af-
fairs in Cuba, and we shall wait with no
little interest for further advices.
The National Mtelhgencer of yester-
day, it will be seen, states that information
has reached Washington which leads to a
belief that fresh effort is about TO be made
to organize in this country an expedition
against Cuba. We trust that, like those
which have preceded it, it will prove abor-
tive

Wings and Democrats.

We find in The Popular Tribune a state
ment of democratic Principles taken from
Southern paper, in which the impression Is
designed to be conveyed that the Wing
party holds other principles than those OF
Democracy, and is less democratic IN It's
character and tendencies than that which
seeks to monopolize to itself the democratic
name. The Editor of The Popular T'rIb
une (ths is the journal of the lcarian Com
munists at Nauvoo) asks for the programme
of the Wings that he may lay the same be-
fore his readers, evidently supposing that 1t
must be something quite different from that
of the Democrats although the one he
publishes is made up of doctrines so undis
puted and universally received IN this
country, as to be almost common place
For instance, we are told in this platform
that the people are the only source oflegitl-
mate power; that the Constitution Is a
written grant of power. limited and definite ;
that the civil is paramount 10 the military
power; that the elections are free and sui
frage universal; that there shall be no he
redltary Office. order or title no permanent
national debt; no prescription OF opinion, or
of public discussion; that public salaries
shall be moderate and economy prevail, and
50 forth
Now we will assure The Popular Tribune
that on all matters of fundamental political
doctrine we know of no difference between
the two parties. One is just as democratic
as the other; one believes as truly In the
people, in popular government In filling all
Offices by popular election, in universal suf-
frage, in subordination of the civil to the
military power as the other
Undoubtedly there was time when the
party name of Democrat had distinct
and legitimate meaning In this country.
Then there was one party which believed

or whether its people can be added to our
citizens with benefit to the United States.
The spirit which prompts this policy Is that
which has done such damage to England,
by dispensing her people to distant colonies
instead of inducing them to stay at home,
cultivating and improving the land, and IN
creasing the strength and wealth OF the
masses of the population and of the country
itself. On our part, while we believe that
in due time all America will be democratic
and united in one confederation of States,
We would not seek to anticipate that time
by violent means, but hold it wiser and more
polite to let the neighboring States first be-
come mature by the regular course ofthings,
because that will be better both for them
and US.
The other measure controyerted between
the parties is the improvement Of the great
rivers and harbors of the West at the ex-
pense of the Federal Government. The
Wings hold that the Mississippi river, for
instance. connecting as 1t does many States
together, ought to be rendered safely navi-
gable by the Government, and that harbor
on Lake Erie is as much proper object of
national expenditure as one on Chesapeake
Bay. The Opposition contend against this,
though with diminished force and positive
ness. Some of the leaders of that party
like Gen. Cass and Mr.. Douglass. admit
the propriety and even the necessity of the
Wing measure, but when their votes are
wanted to carry it, sink away and avoid
speaking out in a frank and manly manner,
A course which. whatever be its merits
otherwise, we cannot regard as demo-
cratic.
Such is the real difference between the
parties. and we are confident that when 1t
is truly and thoroughly apprehended, by the
Icarians and other democrats from beyond
the Atlantic they will when naturalized,
give their votes for the measures of the
Wings.
