Ny swift reindeer, she brought me here
Like arrow in its fight,
Thine eyes to see, whose glance to me
Is like the northern light;
And whom / 20 they'll haunt me so,
Phe night l shall not fear
For their bright ray will light the way
Of thee my swift reindeer
Good night, sweet maid! I long have stayed,
Yet finger to depart
Now think my love, on Him above,
And bless Him in thy heart!
Good night, once more-my song is Ger

All me what bliss was in that kiss -
Away my fleet reindeer!

Daily American organ. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1856, 1855-08-06
Chase Repudiated.

The following formidable list Of newspapers
repudiate and denounce the Black Republican
platform in Ohio, and the man that stands
upon it:
"Cincinnati Times, Columbus Continental, Cleve-
land Express, Germantown Locomotive, Perry
county American, Cincinnati Columbian, Steuben-
vile Herald, Highland Co. Am. Citizen, Dayton
Journal, Newark Gazette, Gallipols Journal, Scio-
to Valley Republican"
The Cleveland Express declares:
"For our part we can support Mr.. Chase, If he
will not ignore the Cleveland platform. II he ig-
nores Americanism he must not expect indepen-
dent Americans to support him."
To this, the organ of the Black Republicans
has replied In advance as follows:
"The Republican party has fairly taken the field
in Ohio, Know-Nothingism is ignored Wat. Era.
The Express proceeds:
ave have repeatedly called upon his friends TO
inform us as to his opinion on the American plat
form, but as yet we are unanswered"
And the Era replies:
"AHen prescription, religious bigotry, secrecy
and eItrsjudcial oaths have had their day"
sour opposition to Mr.. Chase Is merely based
upon his occupying position on the American
question identical with those Of the Washington
Era and Union, the Ohio Statesman and Governor
MediI.n
The Era wants no cooperation between
the Republican and Know Nothing orgdnisd-
ton any more than between the Republican
and administration parties" That is the Black
Republicans avail themselves of the aid OF the
administration to break down the American
party, and OF the American party to build up
its own fortunes. Tho administration plays
the same game with the same object
The Express says, however, in conclusion,
that eff Mr.. Chase does not do something to
satisfy the American sentiment we can assure
his friends, that vote will be cast which will
surprise everybody"
Mum may be the word that has won, but
that time has passed"
Now let these newspapers address to Mr..
Chase the following questions, and make their
support depend upon his answer to them:
1. Do you approve the American platform ?
2. VIII you pledge yourselfto do everything
in your power TO carry it into effectf
8. Will you support tho nominee of the
National American Convention for the Presi-
dencyy
The replies Of Mr.. Chase TO these questions
will determine whether, and to what extent he
supports the American Order, and whether its
members can consistently support him.
