Of the present canvass in form as correct

There are practically but two parties
in the present contest-the Democratic,
which is guided by the Obligations of the
Consttution-whichs seeks to render "equal
and exact justice to all men'-which pro-
tec,s every man in the enjoyment OF his
religious opinions-which leaves TO each
State the arrangements Of rs own domestic
afIairs-which endeavors TO cement the
tonds Of the Union, by lraternal feeling
among the several Statrs-and which
would make our country an ASYLUM tor
the oppressed Of all nations. The opPo-
nents of the Democratic party are OF ali
creeds and colors-and have too well de-
fined characteristics; one of which is the
persecution Of men for their religious be-
lief-(a hideous spirit) and the other. a
determination to dictate TO the people OF
other sections of the country On Tie subject
OF slavery, or break up the Union. They
are now urging the people on TO civil war
in kansas-thrOwing obstacles IN the way
of carrying out the laws OF Cengress--de-

their internal schemes-and sdoing their

X pure devotion ever Lneit
Before its idol shrine,
And breathed the fervent love it felt,
Then heed these strains of mine,
l speak not in sarcastic tones,
speak not to offend,
For fate has doomed the hopes we've known
Within their graves descend.
My character you've sat and heard
Traduced with impious shame,
But not within thy bosom stirred,
Thy soul to shield my name;
You've heard, Ay more than that, believed,
You've drank the tempting sweet,
have been slandered, you, deceived,
Then no more let Us meet.
But don't forget the darksome hour
Whsn infamy thus came,
And strove with base insidious power
L" scanda!ize thy name,
Then had thus the part portrayed
Which you, alas have played,
Mcthinks it would have crushed your heart,
PeEchance, your hopes decayed.
Bat our destinies are sealed, no moro
Well meet as we have met,
Ere calumny's loves vitals tore,
Our gun in gloom has set;
Yet for thee witt heart sincere,
Will blessings ere invoke,
On sorrows record date the year
