A POEM.
BY CHARLES MACKAY,

Men of thought, be up and stirring,
Night and day,
Sow the seed, withdraw the curtain,
Clear the way!
Men Of action! aid and cheer them,
As you may.
There is fount about to stream,
There is light about to beam,
There is q warmth about to glow,
There is n flower about to blow,
There is midnight darkness
Changing into day;
Men Of thought, men Of action,
Clear the way!
Once the welcome light has broken,
Who shall say
What the unimagined glories
Of the day.
What the evil that shall perish
In its ray'
Aid the dawning tongue. and pen,
Aid it, hopes of honest men;
Aid it, paper-aid it, type
Aid it, for the hour is ripe,
And our earnest must not slacken
Into play.
Men of thought, men Of action,
Clear the way!
Lo! clouds about to vanish
From the day;
And brazen wrong to crumble
Into clay.
Lo! the rights about to conquer;
Clear the way!
With the right shall many more
Enter smiling at the door;
With the giant wrong shall fall
Many others. great and small,
That for ages long have held us
For their prey.
Men Of thought, men Of action,
& lear the way!

IN point Of cool, unhlnShing i,npalhenrp
nothing has recently been published sur
passing an article headed "The Rnl Call"
which appeared in the organ Of the bogus
ties in this city yesterday morniny. THAT
organ claims for its faction Of hisorgani
gers, that IA far as heard from the e,uIt
shows a majority in the State Convention
in their favor, which it modestly predicts
will be swollen to sixty or seventy on the
18th Of July. 1t claims the following
counties:
"A'ameda, S; Amador, S; FL Dorado,
25; Monterey, 8; Nevada, l9; Placer, II;

In analysing the list Of counties claimed
Ivy the hogusites, we first come to Alame-
da. Here Horace w. Carpenter went
into the county convention, submitted his
claim to seat, was ruled out, retired,
and with half n dozen outsiders nn,nin-
ateh FIVE delegates to the State ronvpntinn,
whom the organ claims to be the regm ar
delegates. Amad"r comes next, and here
five more nre claimed. This county has
no distinct delegation ass gnrd it in the
call of the State Central 'on,'nittep, as it
votes with Cnaverns. Next comes FL
Dorado, in which the bogus organ claims
twenty five delegates. These were nom
mated IN the same manner, by Mr. Con-
ness, as the Alameda bogus delegates
were nominated hy Mr.. Cnrpentier. A
little farther on is Placer. In this county
all the delegates in the county went into
convention. Senator futile proposed IN
eler,ioniSt for president, he was voted
down, the convention was duly Or2aniZad,
the nomination of candidates was briny

The plans of The election di>orgnnizers

and with unparalleled rrckIp>>ness, nt-
tempted to palsy the will of the free de-
norracy. Like feIons, they rejoice in
their villainy, and herald abroad their
own rasca ity as evidence of Smartness.
Their endeavor is no longer for popular
favor-no longer for Democratic app4nval
no longer to gather lanrel> by r1mhat

Political treachery is n" legal fe ony, and

the power and the means to defy Justice.
Money is all potent, and plant tools to
do its corrupt bidding are as thick as

Well did these unscrUpn.ous and cum

they predicted The result of the defeat Of
their rheftain. With perfect predeter-

proc aimed last winter that "ShouId the

boguSites, without any knowledge that
the few boilers in their convention had
the courage to- obey the dictates Of the
noted conspirator in this city, and even
Sierra is placed in the same categorv.-
These things conclusive show thar their

seventy are known to he spurious, and

What are the objects had in view hy
these bankrupt con>plratorS? Do they
expect to further the interests of their
party! Do they expect to establish the
great principles OF democracy upon II
firmer basis? Not so. Their aim is now
revenge. Failing to disgrace the State hy
the election of their rhiet to a station for
which nature or education never qua fled
him, they have, at his dictation, heIiber-
ately determined to break W, u party or
zltion. Let the democracy of the
country remember these things. The
plan is now to >tihe the voice of their
chosen representatives, and with spurious
contests prevent their participating in the
proceedings Of the convention. They
are determined to contest a sufficient mum
her of votes to retain the ma ajprity and hy
such means reject the reyu ar chosen
delegates. We ask the de,nncrary of the
interior if they are willing to submit To
such II game? We would inquire if San
Francisco nfamy is to crush OUT the true
sentiment of their counties? We would
submit to them whether n few political
trInns whose trade is politics, can p ace

CULTIVATION OF Tobacco IN CALlFoR-

it, but The leaf turned black and rntted.
