"And in and out among the bloom-Iaden boughs there
fitted rare bright bird, and the burden Of its song
"HapPy2 happyf"
Yesl thou art happy nowl
Thy young MARBLES like "rare bright bird"
Within its home upon the sheltered bOugh,
By summer breezes stirred
IT'S well with thee-and thou
Csnst drink rich music from each whispered word,
That brings soft, sweet flush to cheek and brow,
By others all unheard
cannot tell thee now
My darling one, Of all the boarded love
That have sent thee since thy marriage
Was registered above.

would not sadden thee my precious one,
To tell how gushing tears have poured like rain
Since thou hast gone.

Bright hopes, and pleasant memories,-and thou
Art very happy-mayst thou ever be
As rich in bliss
May no intruding cloud
Not cen summer cloud"-come DER thy day,
To wrap its sunbeam in a sulen shroud,
And steal its light away.
And never, sad and worn
May thy young footsteps slowly steal aside,
To hide a wounded heart, its love-lnks torn
By passion, or by pride.

The thousand blisses couli wish for thee,
All happiness beneath the heavens would fall
Below its ecstasy.
God bless thee, dearest one,
And him thou lowest thine sweet soul;
Be best, be happy, and when I'm gone
To that far distant goal.
Hid in the deep unknown,
yet will speak to God in earnest prayer
For thee, my sster,-yes, my loved, my own
I'll bless thee there!

June 18th, 1856, which the Tribune, in its
editorial of the same date, says is from Arch
bishop Hughes O'Connel was an abolitonst,
such an one as Horace Greeley is, and the
Archbishop sis as much friend of Freedom
as the Tribune is" Will not the South learn
that it has no hope except with the Ameri-
can party 2-American Organ.
And yet there are those who have the au-
dacity to declare that there is no danger to the
South from Immigration
In order to show how much of ''friend of
freedom" or in plain words an abolitionist
Daniel OCOnnell was, we give the following
which we clip from the Banner published at
Yazoo City, Miss.
We do hope the South will look well to his
subject. There is no more formidable enemy
to us than foreign influence.

dozens of exceptions) int the teachings of Dish

understood to require an essay.
Daniel O'COnneII on American slavery.
The following extracts are taken from the
Address Of the Dublin Repeal Association, in
reply to the Address of the Cincinnati Asso-
citation on the subject of slavery. 1t is dated +,
"Corn Exchange Rooms, Dublin, 18th Octo-
Der, l843;" and is signed, Daniel O'Conneli,
Chairman of the Com"
"Have you enough of the genuine Irishmsn
amongst you to ask what it is we require you
to do 1t is this:
First We call upon you in the sacred
name of humanity never again to volunteer
on behalf of the oppressOr, nor even for any
self interests to vindicate the hideous crime OF
personal slavery.
Secondly. We ask you to assist in every way
you can in promoting the education of the free
men of color, and in discountenancing the
foolish feeling of selishness, of that criminal
selishness which makes the white man treat
the man of color as degraded or inferior be-
ing.
Thirdly. We ask you to assist in obtaining
for the tree men of color the full benefit of all
the rights and franchises of freeman, uhdt-
eUer State he may inhabt.
"Fourthly. We ask you to exert yOurselUes
in endeavoring to procure for the man of CO.
lor in every Case the benefit of trial by jury,
and especially where man insisting that he
is a free man Is claimed to be sldUe.
Filthy. We ask you 10 exert yourselves
in every possible way to induce slave owners
TO emancipate as many slaves as possible. The
Quakers in America have several societies for
this purpose. Why should not the Irish ini~
tate them in this rirtue
We ask you to erert y0uTsetUes in all the
the 1oGys you possibly can TO put an end TO
the internal slave trade Of the StGtes-the
breeding of slaves for sale is probably the
most immortal and debdSing practice ever
known in this world. Is is crime of the most
hideous kind, and if there were no other kind
committed by Americans, this alone would
place the advocates, supporters, and practicers
of American slavery in the LOtcest grade Of crime
in0LS.
Seventhly. We ask you to use euery e5er-
ton in your power to procure the abolition
ofsIavery By the Congress, in the District OF
Columbia.
Eighty. We ask you to use your best ex-
ertions to compel the Congress to receive and
read the petitions of the wretched negroes,
and, above all, the petitions of their white
advocates.

You will ask how you can do all these
things. You have already answered that
question yourselves. for you have said that
public opinion is the law of America. Contri-
butte then, each Of you in his sphere to
make up that public opinion When you have
the electoral franchise, give your votes to none
but those who will assist you in so holy a
struggle.
