PROSPECTUS OF THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH:

in defence of their rights if the South win itself
become united, and, when united, act in concert
with that Northern party who give the strongest
and most reliable guarantees to the South Can
this be done? We believe it can. To aid in doing
It, the american Telegraph" will take an active
part in the next Presidential election. 1t will
urge the South to unite upon the republican basis
of '98, and to send, in good faith, full and able
representation to the Baltimore Convention, un-
der belief that the Democracy of the North
will unite with them in the nomination of candi-
dates entitled to their confidence and support
and who, if elected, will exert the power and in
fuence of the federal government to protect the
rights and property of the South, a .w !.
That the people may act understandngly, we
invite full and candid investigation Of tho merits
and qualifications of those who may be presented
as candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency. As the nominations, if properly made,
will receive the support Of the republican party,
this examination of the merits of candidates
must be made before the meeting Of the conven-
ton; and that the Telegraph" may give more
efficient aid in that discussion, we propose to
issue q weekly super-royal sheet, in quarto, at
the reduced price of one dollar per annum. This
weekly paper will become valuable book Of ref
erence, containing the facts and arguments re-
lating to the Presidential election, and much other
political and general intelligence, with carefully
prepared index 5. G .ia6
Postmasters and republican committees are re-
quested to act as agents.

1t is alleged by their advocates that the late
measures, called Compromise, should be q salts
factory and final adjustment of the slavery ques
ton. They cannot become SO otherwise than by
uniting and consolidating the South in support
of their rights, and by harmonizing the conflict
ing sectional interests which have arrayed the
North against the South.
The result of the late elections proves that the
South are attached to the Union, and wish to
harmonize with the North. To reconcile con-
ficting opinions, and secure concert and una
nimity there must be mutual confidence and
goodwill. This is impossible, unless the sections
deal fairly and justly towards each other The
true end of government is to protect persons and
property. In the South slaves are property, and
the South demand the peaceable and quiet pos
session Of such property. Their right to hold
Of the North, who, that they may more efficiently
control public opinion in that section, have Or
ganized themselves into religious and political
combinations. They act through the press, the
pulpit and the ballot-box. Such an organization
in one section makes it Indispensable that there
should be counter organization in the other !;
because, if not resisted by such counter organiza
tion, the inevitable consequence would be that
the Northern organization would absorb and
control the entire public sentiment social, moral,
religious, and political, of that section. The
purpose Of the Northern organization is to assail
the rights and interests of the South the pur-
pose of the Southern organization should be to
protect the interests thus assailed.
Late events prove that the North are SO deeply
interested in preserving their present political and
commercial relations to the South, that power
full, influential, and controlling party can be raj
lied in that section, who will unite with the South

WORK TODAY.
BY SAMUEL M'NUTT,

BY SAMUEL M'NUTT.
Lett us now be up and doing,
Let us work while it is day;
Soon the shades of night shall gather
Ger our dim, receding way.
Ere the silver cord is broken,
And our feeble life is o'er
Let us work to-day in earnest,
For to-day shall come no more.
Our few years are swiftly passing,
And our hearts are growing old
Voices of the ages tell us.
Life has labors manifold.
Here to each of US is given
Work on earth's wide harvest plain;
Work that we to-day must finish,
For to-day comes not again.
Gird thee for the task, my brother,
Firmly meet the toll and strife;
1t is death to sleep or waver
On tho battle field of life.
Raise thy faint and erring brother,
Guide him in the path of right;
Let thy kindness cheer the weary:
Guard the fricndless in thy might.
Life is not tho time for slumbcr,
Hate and danger mar the road,
Men yet dwell in sin and darkness,
In the vineyard Of thy God.
Lift thy voice to wandering mortals,
Speak the truth that all may hear;
Nobly combat wrong and error,
Firm in purpose, without fear.
God is Ger thee! Truth is mighty
Faith and love are wondrous strong;
Songs of triumph wait on labor.
All high deeds to her belong.
Nature works. True life is action
Brother, WELD this godlike power;
Live and act to-day in earnest,
Act and live thy little hour.
