r3ague reosype OF the cratic
Party By one Of its own aaaeIa

| SD CARPENrER, editor Of the Madison
Patriot. and about the only man Of the
democratic party of good enough eharac-
ter and morals to secure a srespectlDle
hearing from the people last fall. thus PFC
lures the men Of The democratic par'y,and
/ the picture is worse than it has ever been,
drawn by any black Republican; it reminds
MS Of Gibbons Fall Of the Roman Empire:
.Why IS our party to-day on Its knees
lbefore the world 1t requires no sooth-
saver or sorcerer to answer that question.
The party has PLAYED with edge tools
lam as old hoes. at that; and has got cut
st has fiireed with the political cyprIans,

famine. -
"such is the fated malady that has over
taken the Democratic party in Wisconsin.
lit has been laid on thick and fast, with
double shingled, mortared, taTed,
plastered and rubbed in; until the party
resembles more the ghost Of q spring colt
dead, demised, deceasee, and done for,
without skin, flesh, or bones--tban any
thing having life, longevity, elasticity, Wig
OF, vitality, or wide-awake component
parts.
..The effort to solder new plank to the
platform, predieated on p,unaer, thieving,
rascalities, grand larcenies, highway-rob-
bery, political treason, aud universal en-
lbezzlement, came very near severing the
jpgular, tapping the veins, amputatingg'
s the vertibra, and piercing the heart Of The
whole party. For long while al signs
Of life disappeared. Il was feared that the
last spark OF yitalits had taken its flight
to the world Of adulterated spirits---a con-
sultation ofquacks, leeches and pilnPs was
often called, whose very breath was poison,
and who, should any signs fife be rnani-
fest, stood ready, with alpel in hand, 70
make an incision, and to take the last
l.spound of flesh blood or no blood.
! @Spies were set upon every corner,afoand

closely The Conduct Of all good samarl-
fItans If one Of these offered to poar oil
into the deep cut wounds and Numerous
bruises, an hundred fiends would raise a

ldemonium allies half out of their wits"

TO THE HOME OF MY CHILDHOOD.
Dear home of my youth,
Scene of friendship and truth
Would again could visit thy bowers;
My soul would rcpine,
Meath the grief of my mind,
When I'd think of my once happy hours.
Oh could again.,
Free my bosom of pain,
I'd return to thy hills in my bliss;
Every form once so dear,
Should be seen through tear,
When remembering my past happiness.
Again would tread
Near the graves of the dead,
And think of those dear ones loved;
Whose forms rvcr bright,
Shed halo of light,
Round the scenes of my youth, when ! roved
But alas It's in vain,
That hope eer again,
To review the bright days that have been;
Those moments led,
Have long ago fed;
And with them tie pleasure Two seen,
Then blest be the theme
IN remembrance's dream,
That recalls the bright visions of the past;
May the scenes of my youth
Love, Friendship and Truth,
Be the words that breathe as my last.
