For the True Democrat CHRISTIAN MOTHER.

Christian Mother. where's the child You're training for Eternity: That little tender plant thing, God has placed beneath thy wing; To guide it's little straying feet, Along the broad, and dusty street, Where the crowd are hurrying on, From the break of early dawn, Till the suns last geum is gone; Through the night, and throughthe day, Ever are they hurrying on. Christian Mother, life's no pastime. But struggle evermore; And ye must not faint and weary, Though the path be dark and dreary; For these little souls are given, To be taught and trained for heaven; And with patient love, and strong, Ye must guide them through the throng; Separating right, and wrong; With firm but gentle hand. Ever patient, loving strong. Christian Mother. on this highway, There are paths distinct and marked. And these soldiers ye are training, Should be taught, with strong restraining; Not to think of pleasures solely, Mingling worldly things and holy; For this life must pass away, Soon its heeting joys decay, And then comes that endless day, Which so bright or dark will be, When this life shall fade away. Christian Mother, what these pleasures, Which with Turing smiles entice? When compared with those so lasting, Which your wild pursuit is blasting, And which soon will fade and cloy, Leaving only the alloy? Oh how blind that heart must be, Which can teach these lambs to fee, Rather to the workings glee, Than the fadeless joys of Heaven; Oh how blind that heart must be. Mother. Mother twas not so, In those early martyr days, When the Christians bled and died, Bravely battling, side by side In the faith, and for the truth Training up their pious youth Now these VOWS are lightly spoken, Oh! how hcedlessly are broken; And there's scare mark or token, rTo ;.h fro,,, Lo ,ro,1l Those, who these grave vows have spoken. Christian Mother, lies q conflict Don tby weapons for the fight, Let no vain allurement move thee, Let temptations ouly prove thee: Fit these children God has given, For the white robed bands of Heaven. With an earnest love and true, Keep forever in their view. Which to shun and which pursue, In the paths which they are treading, With an earnest love- and true. Christian Mother, these are jewels. Which shall gem q Saviour's crown; VI they dlc tue lHOTuS JlldI l1eTC6, With an anguish wild and fierce Ponder then the paths yc lead them, Heed with what sou-food ye feed them Teach them charity to others To be Chri>tiaa wives and mothers. To be loving sisters, brothers, By example and by precept Teach them charity to others. Christian Mother, Oh, the tempter, Is subtle willy foe; And his snares are decked so brightly, And his fctters hang so lightly. That we do not sec the bait, Do not feel the heavy weight, Till some stroke our Father deals, By its earnest soulappeul~ Their deformity reveals, And we wake with suddened heart, By some stroke our Father deals.

G. w. Brown, Eso.-Dear Sir You
may remember that our citizens called
upon me TO present your company BIZ
bic when you passed this place on your
way to Kansas, and that I subscribed for
the HERALD OF FREEDeA at that time.
Since then ! have felt deep, and at
times, painful interest in your welfare
and that of your paper and cause The
term of nay subscription having expired
with the last number of Vol. /, have
concluded to subscribe for another year,
mainly because have been more than
grati6ed by your course in the difficult
and trying scenes through which you
have passed and further. because Iwish
to assist in sustaining q Free Press in
Kansas. To aid in this, I send you the
accompanying list-twenty-tw names
each for one year, who responded to an
appeal which l made in your behalf on
the occasion of Kansas Aid Meeting
in this place one evening last week. an
account of which you will find IN .
copy of the .'American Freeman" of
which | am associate editor, and copy
of which was mailed to your address.
The right kind of feeling prevails all
through this region of country, and a
number of emigrants will find their way
to your place as soon as spring opens. I
need hardly express the hope that you
will stand up for your rights. as have
no fears on that score, but / have wished
thousand times that Twas there to stand
up beside YOU. Your Free State men of
Kansas are writing page in the history
OF not only our country, but the cause
OF humanity throughout the world. A
destiny is upon you; not to him whe
is false to his mission or betrays his trust,
for either gain or dishonorable means.
Some of you may fall, as some have fall
en-, but the world of Reform will move
on, and the memory of It's martyrs will
be urned in the living free hearts of
earth's enfranchised millions. 1t is
worth living, thus to die-it is worth
dying thus, to live forever. And, above
all, it is worth working and suffering, TO
live to share the final triumph of "God' $
truth over mans fraud
May you thus iiue, and print, and, if
need be, .fght for the ''good time COM
ing" and when it does come, millions
of hearts will throb in unison with yours,
with the Free State men of Kansas, with
the advanced guards of freedoms CO.
horts. Yours for Free State,

Garvey.

+
We have refused to speak of the course
of Garvey's freeman, and of its ostensi-
bic editor for some time, when we have
felt duty required it, merely because we
thought its tendency would be TO divide
our Free State strength. That time has
passed. Garvey's sheet is being quoted
IN all the border papers as a sound Free
Stats paper. TO the injury of the cause,
and 70 the prejudice of the best men in
the party. He stands alone. with per
haps haif-a-dozen exceptions. and in.
stead of representing the views of others
he expresses the opinion of Carney and
his assistants.

A Washington letter writer says that
Colonel Fremont is talked of for the Re-
publican nomination for the Presidency.
We care very little about what is said in
Washington concerning the next Presi-
deney, as anything coming from thence
is not likely to have much weight with
the country, by which it is regarded as a
sink of iniquity, political Sodom, that
ought to be purified by FIRE, and if the
fire were very hot, and should do its
work completely, SO much the better
would the country like it. But eve hap
pen to know that Colonel Fremont's
nomination has been talked of in more
influential quarters than in Washington,
and that the idea is seriously entertained
of bringing him forward as a sort of gen
eral opposition candidate for the Presi--
dency, in 1856. in the hope and expect
alton of being able effectually to ''crush
OUT the present dynasty of pro-slaver.y
aQ;tators. The idea is a good one.
There are various reasons for thinking
well of it. In the first place. there are
the character and position of the man
himself. You might search the whole
country over, from Eastport to San Fran
cisco, and you would not find more
chivalrous, high-minded man than John
C. Fremont. And by ''chiyalrous," we
do not mean loud-talking, idle, hector
ing fire. eater, who believes in the holi-
ness of slavery, or that it is the duty oi

complish which God called the republic
into existence-to spread slavery into

the natural adherence of injustice on ths
