Who are Our Countrymen t?

There is something in the contemplation
Of the mode in which America was settled,
that, in a noLIe breast, should for ever ex.
tinguish the prejulices of national dislikes.
Settled by the people Of aH nations, all ma.
tioas may claim her for their o1n You
can not spill i drop Of AMERICAN blood
withou. spilling the blood of the uhoie
world. Be be Englishman, Frencbman,
German, Dane, or Scot, the European who
SCOTS at an american, calls his o,cn brother
Raca, and stands in danger Of the Judg.
ment
We are not narrow tribe Of men, with
bigoted Hebrew nationality, whose blood
has been debased in the attempt to cnnoble
it, by maintaining an exclusive succession
among ourselves. No : cur blood is as the
food Of the Amazon, made up of thou
sand noble currents all pouring into one.
We are not nation SO much as a WORLD :;
for unless We may claim all the world for
our sire, like Melchisedek, We are without
father or mother.
For who were our father and our moth.
er. or can We point to any Romulus and
Remus, for our founders? Our ancestry
Is lost in the universal paternity and Cse.
sar and Alfred, ST. Paul and Luther, and
Homer and Shakespeare, are as much ours
as Washington who is as IL lch the ,eorlGs
as our oirn. We arc the heirs Of all time,
and with all nations we divide our inheri-
tance. On this western hemisphere, all
tribes and people are forming into one fed
Grated uhois and there is future which
shall see the estranged children of Adam
restored as to the old hearth stone in Eden.
The other world beyond this, which was
longed for BY the devout before Columbus
time, was found in the ner and the deep
sea-llne, tha. first struck these soundings,
brought up the soil Of Earth's Paradise.
Not Paradise then, or aop but to be
made SO, at Gods good pleasure, and in
the fullness and mellowness of time. Tho
seed is sown, aud the harvest must come;
and our childIeu's children, on the worlds
jubilee-morniug, shall all 60 with their
sickles to the reaping.
Then shall the curse of Babel be reyo-
ked, ne'o PentecOst come, and the LAM
guage they shall speak, shall be the lam

The Richmond Whig, in abandoning
knOw-noihingisn for pro-slayery Democ-
racy, indi-a'es its belief that the question
of slavery is the ouly one that can praeti-
eally divide parties at present; that the
Democratic party is fully pledged 70 the
support of slavery and that the attempt
okcep up an American party a: the South,
only divides and weakens the political
power Of the South Northern Americans
are slower in perceivins that the same
thing is true Of the North.

The Cemetery.

Deep mid these dim and silent shades
The slumbering dead shall lie,
Tranquil, as Summer evening fades
Along the western sky.
The whispering winds shall linger here
To lull their deep repose;
Like music on the dewy air,
Like nightfall on the rose.
Light through the twining boughs shall sheJ
Its calm and cheerful ray;
And Hope springs from the dying bed
And points 10 perfect day.
Around each funeral urn shall cling
The fairest. freshest flowers;
Emblem of earth's eternal spring,
And brighter lands than ours.
Gathered from thousand homes, the dust
la soft repose shall lie.
Like garnered seed in holy trust
For Immortality.
Room for the households till the mora
Its glories shall restore.
And on the silent sleeperS dawn
The hours that fade 10 more.

THE PERFECT NAIvETTE oE THE Qua
KERs AS PREACHERS, has certainly no par.
allel in the eloquence Of other sects. For
example, Joseph John Gurney, when here,
was to hold forth, one Sunday. 1t was
oven.wise hot. All the sanity aud sweat
ing world was assembled to hear him. For
two mortal hours, the congregation sat
mute. Breathing there was, but the lowell
est eyes flashed not. The utmost seething
repose marked the assembly. They waited,
calm as frozen lake, though the atmos-
phere simmercd with heat, for the moment
the Spirit should move Joseph. They wal
ted, and waited, and waited. Joseph sat,
mild as sphyn1-that grand eternity
loafer of the Nile. Joseph sat over again,
ard did not move. Could that be the Jo.
sepb-the eloquent, the famed, the brother
Of that lovely turnkey, Mrs. Fry? Could
Mt Joseph pump up an idea, with all the
sanity antecedents Of the place? Wouldn't
the spirit Of Penn move him! Couldn't
he derive from the large-heartcd man (who
will live longer than Macauly yeti some
souvenir Of apostolic vitality, titilating the
roots o: the tongue and making it work in
oracular beauty with the brain? No, Jo-
seph could not He sat, and he sat, and
he sat. To the assembly, it was all as
natural as blood-drops to the heart. At
last-Jcseph arose. He arose, and the
characteristic eloqueuce of his soul and
speech, did they come? No. He arose,
and passing q pocket handkerchief over
his streaming brow, he said, "Sincc have
been sitting here, have experienced
great poverty of ideas" Whether it was
the weather, or whether it was weather or
no, those words of the heated term were
all that came from the renowned orator of
the Quaker persuasion. The elders gave
the sign of the friendly grasp, and all the
younger followed and then the meeting
broke up, just as if the most natural thing
in the world had happened. And it was
the most natural thing-thereiu lay its
beauty.-W. II. F.-Tribune, Letter from
Phildd)
