to Our noighbor of the Freeman wishes
to have the Republican party distiuctiycly

aboihonist. this wish, in him, is consistent
But suppose old Wings should wish to have

editor Of the freeman is really in tho fog, and
attempting to oxtricatc himself, or whether

behind false issues Ore thing, however, is
very evident.-he has mistaken the mission
of the Republican party, and looks upon il as
composed only of men entertaining the same

those of the old Abolition party. Now if he

of the National Convention at Philadelphia,

different purpose from that of warning upon

Who art thou, oh man 10 whom fate hath denied,
The charms Of true friendship, its blessings and
power!
Who hath felt not its bliss, to rapture allied
To cheer and refresh thee in adVsrsity's hour2
The true trusting hearts which in life's early morn,
You strained, oh 50 fondly, to your own loving
breast-
OF say not that they from your arms have been
torn,
And left you SO lonely by sorrow O'orPresssdr
The. friends Of thy boyhoOd-say where do they
roaml
The loved ones Of youth, 50 valued and dear;
Who shared thy wild sports ere thou wandered
from home,
And roaned S'er the earth 80 lonely and drear!
And hath one not been spared sf all this gay
throng?
Not a tic loft unbr6ksn TO bind thee to youth
Not a voice left unhushed to sing its gay song
Nora friend but hath felt arrangements keen tooth!
Oh say not that an outcast thou roamest the earth
No brother, nor sister, nor parent, ner wife2
Not a tie to enchain thee to the homo of thy
birth
Scarce one left indeed to bind thee to lifei
Oh say not that thy bosom never feels the warm
glow,
Nor thy veins never quicken at the thought of thy
friends2
Never knows the wild bliss which love doth be-
stow
The charms aEd the rapture which friendship doth
lend2
Then thrice wrotched man, who ever thou art
Though welding a seeptre or wearing q crown
! would not exchange a true, trusting heart,
For all the false pleasures which princes have
known:
But give me instead n firm. constant fr;or1
Than all tho false pleasures from vassals obtainod
Ave give mo that friendship which never will end
M friendship eternal, at last shall be gained.
