X FouR "GREAr TRfuMPHs OF REPUBLICAN
PRINcIPLRs."-The election of the present
House Of Representatives, was hailed as d
great triumph of Republican principle. We
fearthis Triumph" is not properly appreci-
ated. We propose to make it plain. The
REPORT of the Corruption Investigating Com.
mittee, throws great light upon the nature
and character of this Triumph" That re-
port, it will be recollected, was as follows:
49,, pr FIRST TRIUMPH" r
That VIM. A. Gilbert, member of this
House from New York, did agree with F. F.
G. Triplet, to procure the passage of a reso-
luton or bill through the present Congress for
purchase by Congress of certain copies of the
book of said Triplet, ON the pension and
bounty land laws, in consideration that the
said Triplet should allow him TO receive a
certain sum of money out Of the appropria-
ton for the purchase of the book; that Gil
bert did cast his vote on the Iowa land bill,
depending heretofore before this Congress,
for a corrupt consideration, consisting of sew
en- square miles of land, and some stock, Civ
en- or to be, given to him; that Mr.. Gilbert
be forthwith expelled from this House.
raoI SECOND "TRlUMPH."
That VIM. w. WEIGH did corruptly com
biue with VIM. A. Gilbert, member Of this
House from New York, to procure the pas
sage Of a resolution or bill through the House,
for the purchase of certain copies Of Trip
let on Pension and Bounty Land Laws" for
money-to be paid to the said Gilbert on its
passage; that VIM. w. WEIGH did attempt
to procure money from James R. Sweeney,
for reporting favorably on the claim of Rox-
ana Kimbal, from the Committee on Invalid
Pensions at this Congress; that VIM. w.
WEIGH, a member of this House from Con-
necticut, be forthwiM expelled from this

WE WILL MEET AGAIN.


Inscribed 10 the Friends from

Though distance hangs her dreary veil
Between your present home and mine'
Hope breathes many cheering tale
OF hours which in the future shine;
Of coming days, when not as now,
Long miles our homes will sever;
Round the same altar we will bow,
land live and love together"
Oft memory fingers near to you
And fancy paints past pleasures bright;
While absent ones, Ger fond and true
Saws Forget me not" by day and night
When lonely twilight steals DER earth
And with her mantle wells the skies;
When cather,d round the fomily hearth,
Your ardent prayers to Heav'n arise;-
Then. loved ones, then remember me,
And ask of God in humble prayer,
That we may soon each other see
In our old home so famed and dear.
Adieu, for days and months so weary
Then to College Halls I'll bid adIeu'
And swiftly DER the mountains drcary'
I'll hic to loved ones ever true.
And when I'm done with College duties,
Most gladly will cease to roam,
A stranger to the gay worlds beauties
Content, will remain at home.
Then haste thou merry month of May
When flowers so sweetly bloom,
I'd have thee linger not day,
For then | am going home.
Then, too, I'll shed the parting tear.
Q.oved friends in every place we find)
For Teachers noble, classmates dear,
j, sorrowing, then must leave behind.
Oh sad, sad and unhappy thought
That friends who love must sever;
But in Gods sacred word we're taught:
Well meet in Heaven forever.
Then shall we quaff the cup of joy,
Filled from the crystal stream;
Peace shall be ours without alloy,
Eternal and serene. j. }. ID.
