THE CRY OF SUFFERING WOMEN


Help US now for are weary,
Hope is dim and life is dreary-
Sorrow is our meed-
We are daughters, wives. aHd mothers.
We have fathers, husbands, brothers.
Whom we love above all others
lis for them we plead.
We can hope for no tomorrow
That will find US free from sorrow
While their shame see;
And the tyrant.s chain has bound them
With his deadly snares he's wound them
And his strong arms arc around them
How CAS THEY BIZ FREE
lie has ts'en our fireside pleasures,
Robbed us of our household treasures-
Leaving bitter woe:
From our pillow banished sleeping.
Bade our eyes grow dim with weeping,
While our hearts have sorrow keeping
Heaven alone can know.
Must we see cur loved ones perish,
And the last faint hope we cherish
Biotted ont in grief.
Misery our life is wasting
From the years of sorrow hasting
From the dregs of woe we're tasting,
Is THERE No RELIEF,

aIoricaIIrnIty of Sentiment.

Reasoning, short time since, upon thcvin-
dictivc and revolutionary spirit in which the
enemies of union and harmony, have organized
possession of its offices, we were rejecting
upon the characteristics of similar organiza-
ton in Europe. We thought of Kossuth
Ledru, Rollin, and other men Of eminent mind
and station, who agitate the masses that their
Individual views may be carried into effect and
NJ a consequence their individual distinction
promoted They coincide with the earlier
spirits Of the French Revolution. The philoso-
piers, Rousseau, Clootz and Constant; the
desperate and unprincipled Danton, Robespierre
and Couthon, have also their imitators, amongst
them Wilson, Seward, Summer and Chase, with
the malignant and cow1dly Tribunc,--the am
bitous and turbulent Times, and that chieiest
amongst the strategists Wcbb--who
proposes that the Wings shall enlist under his
command for a campaign Of civil war, in order
that thereby tho peace Of the country may he
put upon moro permanent footing.
Those ambitious agitators correspond with
their transatlantic prototypes. They wish to
obtain control Of the Federal patriuony, just
as their exemplars thirsted to confiscatc public
property and overthrow an existing govern
ment Our reyolutionists do not, however,
wish the ship Of the Union scuttled until they
have robbed H. They do not propose t. shed
blood themselves, being restrained by salu-
tary regard for their own skins. They prefer
instigating others TO carry out the inevitable
results Of their own political philosophy.
These European fanatics, who disturb the
peace Of the world by impracticable schemes
and bloody enmity against the law, call
themselves Red Republicans. We infer that
they adopted that appollaiion, because oil
their sanguinary and abominable designs
against The right Of property and the order OF
laws SO we are informed that those conspira-
tors in the United States who would employ
prejudice against the institutions Of one
section TO acquire power in another who by
kidnapping negroes-encouragin negroes to
rob, murder, and commit every crime fobiddcn
by law or morality-who, safe at home, touch
the train tliat may explode in the ruin Of the
distant aud innocent who, enriched by negro
labor, spread among strange nations SANDER
and reproach against their own country
ought TO be called from the darkness Of their
designs, the ebony hue of their hearts, and the
color Of the unhappy material which they en-
ploy to carry out their nefarious purposes
BLACK Republicans"
As this appellation was purely the result Of
our philosophical induction, we have been en-
couraged to find that Mr. George ~ Sanders

ensaved Of Europe by the money, muskets,
and saddlery to be raised in the United States,

A privileged Order.

There il something singularly manly and inn
pressive, says the Washington Union, in the fol-
lowing proceedings of the Democratic party OF
Philadelphia county, Pennsylvania, at their con.
yention OH Tuesday last

each member now make oath or affirmation that

aid Palmer was soon after introduced, and
administered the following oath

the oath and subscribed their names to it.

Louisiana Catholics.

The Louisville Democrat remarks: "What Ian
guage can more wildly portray the utter hypocri-
sy of acknowledgment than the bare mention OF
the fact, that in Louisiana they have nominated for
Governor of the State Roman Catholic"
To this the Louisville Journal thus replies
"The American Order in Louisiana reject the prin-
cplc of excluding Roman Catholics from Office, but
il is because Roman Catholicism, as recognised il,
that State, is a very different thing indeed from
what it is as recognised elsewhere. The Roman
Catholics only in name. They, that is the most Of
them, do not go to confession; they acknowledge
no authority of the Pope over them and they dc
not even allow him or any one else to appoint
bishops or priests over them without their own
| consent
"At Philadelphia in June last we had more than
score offree conversations upon this subject with
leading members Of the Louisiana delegation to
| the American National Convention, and, although
they were extremely anxious that the ritual of the
Order should be modified upon the Catholic ques.
ton, they were perfectly willing, that, in its mod-
fed form, it should bind the members of the Order
not to support for Office any confessing Roman
| Catholic or any one acknowledging the Pope's All.
thority TO impose church functionaries upon peo-
| pie against their will All the members of the
Louisiana delegation confirm what We say
and We will name the venerable Judge Moore as
the delegate with whom we had the fullest and
most frequent conversations upon the subject.
"If Roman Catholicism were no more objectiona-
bic politically in other States than it is in Louisi-
ana, the American party would never have object
ed to the election Of Roman Catholics to Office"
