WASHINGTON, ID. G.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1853.
COLUMBIANA COUNTY, OHIO.

Letters from this county pour in upon us
approving Of our article in the Era of 18th
inst. recommending the Independent Demo
Gratis to cooperate in electing the Peoples
Ticket Some of our friends there, however,
are afraid that cooperative action with men
Of other parties will destroy the Free Demo-
cratic character and organization. This fear
isnatural and such a result would undoubtedly
follow if our friends should give up or deny
any of our cherished principles. Our impress.
sion is that none of our principles would be re.
pudiatcd by supporting the Peoples Ticket
Let us refer to Massachusetts,, where the ex-
pertinent Of coalition with the Democrats for
State officers has been tried The result has
been cminently successful, and our friends are
maniiestly stronger in that State to-day than
they ever were before. They have sent Charles
Sumner to the Senate, and have good pros
poet of electng Henry Wilson governor. They
have done more-they have carried a conven-
ton to reform the constitution. The question
arises could these results have been achieved |
if our friends had stood aloof and refused to
coalesce with Democrats to carry out State re-
forms Manifestly not; and the wisdom Of
their coalition is INDICATED before the world.
Our friends gain nothing by the exhibition
Of an exclusive or intolerant spirit. We pro-
fess to be liberal let the liberaty of our acts
vindicate the sincerity of our professions. Thu |
Peoples Convention have nominated good and |
worthy men as candidates for the legislature.
Could they be elected they will be in posi-
ton to do something efFectual to help the cause
along
Fusion is not the right term to designate
this policy. The true word il cooperation.
Fusion implies rather loss Of our identity |
corporations, the maintenance of our identity
The independent Democratic party does not
by this policy become lredded to any other
party for good or for evil; it simply agrees to
act with other parties in given case, for
certain purposes in harmony with its princi-
ples The occasion past, it spontaneously re-
sumes its individuality.

THE NATIONAL ERA WASHINGTON D. C, SEPTEMBER 49, 1853


Soft Shell Bdrnburner.-A Democrat who
processes attachment TO the principles of the
Buffalo platform, but is disposed to regard the
Compromise as fnality thinks there was
some excuse for Cass's presumption in '4S, and
will not object to friendly drink with Hun
ker.
"The 'Adamantines or Nationals is the
name recently applied to, or assumed by por-
ton, at least, OF the Hards,' who, it is said,
have pledged themselves to uphold the Fugitive
Slave Law, in addition to making steady OPP
position to any connection with the Barnburn-
ers"
The Wings, it is said, are almost as badly
dsorganized as the Democrats and split
among them is apprehended. 10 the mean
time, the Independent Democracy adhere stead
lily to their candidates and platform.

NEW BOOKS.

The Era has thus far proved an admirable
introduction to successful authorship. In ad-
dition to the already published volumes of its
correspondence, we are happy to mention that
Grace Greenwood's Letters from Europe are
in the press of Ticknor & Co., of Boston, and
that second series of Alice Carey's Glover
nook Sketches is forthcoming.
Another writer for the Era--Lucy Larcom-
has in the press of j. ?. Jewett & Co, of Bos.
ton, unique and altogether original little vol
ume entitled Similitudes from the Seaside
and the Prairie "a series of prose poems,
evincing delicate fancy and great beauty of
thought and expression. J. G. w.

U.-EVENTNG

Yon mountains side is black with night,
While, broad-orbd, DER its cleaning crown,
The moon, slow-rounding into sight,
On the hushed inland sea looks down.
How start to light the clustering isles,
Each silver hemmed. How sharply show
The shadows of their rocky piles,
And tree tops, in the wave below
How far and strange ths mountains seem.
Dim-looming through the pale, still light
The vague, vast grouping of dream,
They stretch into the solemn night
Beneath, lake, wood, and peopled vale,
flushed by that presence grand and grave,
Are silent, save the crcket's wall
And low response of leaf and wave.
Fair scenes whereto the Day and Night
Make rival love, leave ye soon,
What time before the eastern light
The pale ghost of the setting moon
Shall hide behind yon rocky spines,
And the young archer, Morn, shall break
His arrows on the mountain pines,
And, golden sandalled, walk the lake
Farewell Around this smiling bay
Gsy.heartod health, and Life in bloom,
With lighter steps thas mine, may stray
In radiant summers yet to come
But none shall moro rogretful leave
These waters and these hills than |
Or, distant, fonder dream how eve
Or dawn is painting wave and shy
How rising moons shine sad and mild
On wooded isle and silvering bay;
Or setting suns beyond the piled
And purple mountains lead the day,
Nor laughing girl, nor boarding boy,
Nor full pulsed manhood, lingering here,
Shall add to LIES Astounding joy,
The charmed repose to suffering dear.
Still waits kind Nature TO impart
Her choicest gifts to such as gain
An entrance to her loving heart
Through the sharp discipline of pain
Forever from tho Hand that takes
One blessing from US others fall
And, soon or late, our Father makes
His perfect recompenss to all!
Oh! watched by Silence and the Night,
And folded in the strong embrace
OF the great mountains, with the light
0fthe sweet heavens upon thy face
Lake of the Northlsnd, keep thy dover
OF beauty still, and while above
Thy solemn mountains speak Of power,
Be thou the mirror of Gods love. J. G.

A MODERN DEMOCRAT.

Ex-senator Dickinson, of New York, has
written a letter Of column in length apollo
getc and explanatory of his speech made in
the Senate in lsi7, On that occasion he stat.
cd what he conceived to be the opinion Of his
constituents regarding the question of Slavery,
and from the general tenor of his remarks he
concurred with them entirely, in believing Sla-
very to be moral and political evil, which
should not be further extended He ayowed
his readiness to vote for the Wilmot Proviso
with or without special instructions from the
Legislature, since he well understood the
wishes Of his constituents In his letter he
says:
Being believer in and advocate for, the
doctrine Of instruction--which up to that time
had been only employed to uphold the princi-
pies Of the Constitution-l indicated my will
ingness on a future and suitable occasion to
vote Is the Legislature had instructed, without
any repetition Of its direction but subsequent
events and developments and further reflection,
admonished me that ! should best discharge
my duty to the Constitution aud tho Union, by
disrcgardng such instructions altogether, and

THE LITERATURE OF FREEDOM.

The enterprising publishers Of Uncle Toms
Cabin, and the Key" thereof p. Jewett &
Co., of Boston-arc still doing good service to
the cause of Freedom and Christian Progress
in their particular department Among their
late issues may be mentioned the admirable
writings of Judge Jay; the Speeches of JOSHUA
II. GIDDINGs-a noble volume, in itself his
tory of the Anti-Slavcry struggle for the last
ten years; SUMMERS White Slavery in the
Barbary States-a beautifully illustrated edi.
ton Of that fine historical satire; and Lydia
Maria Childs new work, the Life Of Isaac T.
HopPER-altogethe the most readable and in
teresting piece of biography which has ever
issued from the American press. 1t is q simple
picture of noble life, devoted to the welfare
of others. We knew Isaac T. Hopper we'll
and we recognise perfect likeness of the &C.
NAL, brave old man on every page. 1t is
book which the Society of Friends especially
Orthodox and Hicksite - would do well to
study. Disowned by both-by one for his the
ology, and by the other for his active humani-
ty-it will be seen that no was favored to sur
vivc it all to pursue his labors of love with I'M
abated zeal, and to die, ct last, happily and in
peace with messages Of love, to those who had
cast him out Of their communion on his lips.
The same publishers have in press the "Life
and Speeches Of Hon. ROBERT RANTouL, Jr,"
the ablest and worthicst exponent Of Democratic
principles since the days of Jefferson. His ar
gumentS on the ccnsttutonaity of the Fugitive
Slave Laws arc worth the price Of the entire
work The scholar, the patriot the student Of
constitutional law, the advocate of universal
education, of freedom, temperance, and the
abolition of capital punishment--in short, the
friends Of all national reforms will find in THU
volume u textbook. J. &. w.

SUMMER BY THE LAKE SIDE.

NOON.
White clouds, whose shadows haunt the deep,
Light mists, whose soft embraces keep
The sunshine on the hills asleep!
o isles of calm 20 dark, still wood
And stiller skies that oyerbrood
Your rest with deeper quietude
o shapes and hues, dim reckoning, through
Yon mountsin gaps, my longing view
Beyond the purple and the blue
To stiller sea and greener land
And softer lights and airs more bland
And skies--the hollow Of Gods hand
Transfused through yo1, o mountain friends
With mine your solemn spirit blends,
And life no more hath separate ends.
read each misty mountain sign,
l know the voice Of wave and pine
And | am yours, and ye are mine.
LIES burdens fall, its discords cease,
lapse into the glad release
Of Natures own exceeding peace.
o welcome calm Of heart and mind
As falls yon fr-tree's IOOsened rind
To leave tcnderer growth behind
SO fall the weary years away;
child again, my head lay
Upon the lap of this sweet day.
This western wind hath Lethean powers,
fon monday cloud nepenthe showers,
The lake is white with lotus flowers!
Even Duty's voice is faint and low.
And slumberous Conscience, waking slow
Forgets her blotted scroll to show
The Shadow which pursues us all
Whose ever-nearing steps appal,
Whose voice We hear behind us call
That Shadow blends with mountain gray
1t speaks but what the light waves say
Death walks apart from Fear to-day
Rocked on her breast, these pines and
Alike on Natures love rely;
And equal seems to live or die.
Assured that lie whose presence fills
With light the spaces of these hills,
No evil to His creatures wills,
The simple faith remains that He
Will do, whatever that may be,
The best alike for man and tree
What MOSES over one shall grow,
What light and life the other know,
Unanxious, leaving him to show
