The sudden escape Of q people from beneath
the hand Of oppression, when effected by san
culinary means, is fearful thing. Oppression
begets hatred and vindictiveness in the op-
pressed and when the emancipation Of the
latter ia sconsummatcd in defiance of power and
relentless tyranny, the feeling Of revenge is
seldom subdued by the influence Of mercy, and
the oppressed are too apt to become the op
pressors Such is human nature as revealed
on every page Of history that records the sud
den transitions and rcvulsions of society.
We find in Now York papers letter, from
Charles Fred Henningscn, which was read on
Tuesday evening before the Universal Demo
cratic Association assembled in that city, in
which the writer responds to an inquiry sub
mitted to him in relation to the political con-
dition Of Rome, whence he has just como to our
shores. He says:
"I regard Roman Catholicism rs dead in
Rome nine-tcnths of the people, including the
female portion Of the population, looking on
the Pope and his cardinals with contempt as
spiritual impostcrs, and with tho utmost hatred
and horror as temporal oppressors From what

ing to place on record my conviction, that with
in twenty.fo hours after the withdrawal Of
the foreign garrison, the Pope's Government
will have fallen, and his own life together with
those Of his cardinals and counsellors will have
been sacrificed, unless they can save themselves
by fight or concealment which will be very

THE ADMINISTRATION PARTY IN OHIO

SO far back as is4S, tho Democratic Party
Of Ohio, in State Convention assembled, adopt
cd with great unanimity the following resolu-
tions on the subject Of Slavery:
Resolved, That the People Of Ohio, now, as
they have always done, look upon Slavery as
an evil, and unfavorable to the full development
Of the spirit and practical benefits Of free inst-
tutions and that entertaining these senti-
ments they will at all times feel il to be their
duty to use all power clearly given by the terms
OF the National Compact to prevent its increase,
to mitigate, and finally to eradicate, the evil.
But, be il further
Resolved, That the Democracy OF Ohio do
at the same time fully recognise the doctrines
held by the early fathers Of tho Republic, and
still maintained by the Democratic Party in all
the States that TO each State belongs the right
to adopt and modify its own municipal laws, to
regulate its own internal affairs, to hold and
maintain an equal and Independent sovereign
ty with each and every State, and that upon
these rights the National Legislature can nei-
ther legislate nor encroach"
This platform, uniting at once recognition
Of the Anti-Slavery Principles and a pledge TO
respect and maintain State Rights, has been
tho RIOhnu bueOrctfcaiiy VI WIG oiu Line DeIi-
ocratic Party in Ohio ever since. In 1852, it
was reafirmed, and resolutions to adopt the
Baltimore platform were rejected.
During the last twelve months, the inconsist-
ENJOY Of the policy Of the Party in Ohio with
this platform, and the antagonism between the
platform and the policy Of the Administration,
have been 80 glaring, that some change became
necessary. We have not yet received official
reports Of the proceedings in tho Hunker Con-
vention that met at Columbus, Ohio, on the 9Th
Of January but if we may rely upon the or
gan" that assembIage has at last voted to put

SONG TO SLEEP.


BY Lucy LARGO oM.m
Sweetly still tho infants crying
Gentle Sleep.
AS a closing violet
Brsathes away the dew-drops wet
So, its pearly lashes drying,
Through them creep
Soothe the pilgrim worn and weary,
Lulling Sleep,
Like the autumn winds low song
Stealing faded boughs among,
Whispering to the mountains dreary,
While they weep.
Murmur softly to the aged
Blessed Sleep,
Like slow, refreshing rain,
Falling on the yellow grain;
We, who yet no war have wagod,
Watch will keep.
Drop thy balm upon the lonely,
Holy Sleep.
As the dew descends to bless
Paint trees in the wilderness!
All let warm. winged visions only
Ronnl them sweep
On thy still seas mot together,
Happy Sleep,
Hear them swell drowsy hymning;
Swans, to dying music swimming,
Floating with unruffled feather
Der the deep,

A FEW WORDS TO A ooTEMpoRARY.

We do not understand that the Ordinance
of 1887 has anything to do with the Territory
Of Nebraska. The organ finds it conve-
nient to assume, that the Abolition or Free
Soil guound is, that the exclusion of Slavery
from Nebraska rests upon this Ordinance
This is simplya gross misrepresentation. The
position Of those who oppose the Nebraska bill
in it's present shape is, that by the Missouri
Act Of 1920, Slavery is forever" excluded
from Nebraska
And here let US say, that the Union puts
itself to unnecessary trouble, in going so far as
New York and Albany, to reply to arguments
that have appeared in the Daily Era. It is
rather laughable to see the airs it gives itself
Rejected by itsown party in the Senate, barely
tolerated in the House, repudiated by some Of
the most respectable Democratic journals, with
no circulation among the People, it Affects to-
tai ignorance G the existence Of the Era (
Without the pap with which it has been fed
by Congress and the Executive, it would have
died long since Of inanition. OF the eight
hundred editionof its Daily, some three hum
dred copies are ,ent to exchanges, and ma
jority Of the rett, we presume, goes to Con-
gress and the Executive bureaus. Although
we have not prin,ed our Daily yet two weeks
we venture to say that we have as large bona
fde circulation. When the comparison is
made between the aggregate circulation of the
Weekly and Daily issues of the two papers, it
will be found that that Of the Era is four-fold
Such was the fact as presented by authentic
statistics submitted to the Departments, little
more than year ago. This is not all. The
Era is far more extensively circulated among
Democrats in the North and West than the
Union, and its exchange list in the South
reaches the number Of three hundred. For
the last four yss<S too, that paper, through
Executive fayoriism, has been paid largely
for printing the various notices Of the Execu-
tive Departments, to the printing Of which the
Era, by its extensive subscription list, was snfi-
tied BY Lar.
And this is the concern, without circulation,
without influence, the organ grinder Of the
President, the tumid parasite Of Power, fawning
forever upon the hand that feeds it. which af-
fects not to know Of the existence of such paper
as the National Era! Aud when we add
that this same concern not long since solemnly
communicated the New York Epening Post
and the National Democrat Of New York, rep
resenting different sections Of the Democracy,
from the pale of the Democratic Party, that it
now threatens similar accommodation against
the Albany Atlas unless it concur with it in re-
lation to the Nebraska bill, and that it affects
TO treat the Post, as the Era, with lofty con-
tempt the reader is furnished with most stri-
king illustration Of the insolence Of Mediocrity
when basking in the sunshine of Court favor.

Desiring, as we most earnestly do, the free

fair experiment Of a republican representative
Government we yet believe, from the testimo-
ny before us all Of which is corroborative Of
that above quoted, that momentous duty de-
wolves upon every true hyer of Liberty in this
connection. Frmness and energy sufficient
for the task before them must be possessed by
the Roman people; but libertyscannot be es-
tablished amongst them unless their deeds are
seasoned with mercy. The transition from
state Of snbordination to the Papal power into
tho light Of freedom is but too apt to bo through
the dark portals Of irreligion and icentious-
ness.
The people are unused to selfimposed re-
strants, and time alone can educate them into
the practice Of n virtue 50 difficult and yet 30
essential. Roman Catholic Germany, both at
home and abroad furnishes us at the present
moment with ample proof Of this and it is un.
necessary to remind the reader Of the terrible
experience Of France in this particular
When the hour comes in which the bayonets
of France and Austria shall be needed to de-
fend the thrones of the rulers Of those Empires,
the Roman people will undoubtedly arise and,
as with a single voice, demand the acknowl-
edgment Of their political freedom and suprcm
acy May we not hope that in that hour the
birth of Freedom may be sgnalized by the mag
nanimity Of it's champions and that the first
edict emanating in its name may be deelara-
ton Of religious liberation, including mercy
and protection to every eeclesiastic OF the pres
ent hierarchy, from the Pope down to the
meanest minion of his abominable tyranny?

The art Of printing arose when Bible readers

the people Of vast territories required such
agencies in their labor Of selEgovernment
