For the Gate CITY.



The autumn time has come again,
With meanings on the yellsv hills;
The skies with melancholy rain
lave flooded all the rills.
The heavens are hung with deAthly black,
The fields lie blank and dssoiste
The cold winds sweep the sunshine back
To lands Of palm aud date.
The winter comes ~ sure death
To gloom the hours and clip the flowers,
To withcr with its fatal breath
The hopes that should be ours.
Go draw your curtains elise and warm,
And make your hearth fires clear and bright;
Make faint the roaring of the storm;
Fold back the dusky night
IL skies are dark, relume the stars
That giimmer In the heaven Of home;
~Festoon your prisons iron bars
With flowers Of fadeiess bloom.
For hearts that need perpetual sun
10 keep the torch Of love alight,
Are saddef than these shadows dun,
Colder than winters night. S.

The iron steamer Suchel arrived out on the
Goth ut. She met the Quaker City at Coat
zacoalcos Bar, and accompanied her to Nina
titan, where there was great rejoicing. The
passengers and mail Of the Quaker City were
transferred to the iron steamer Minatitlan at
noon on the 30th, when she started up the
river in fine style on the pioneer trip. The
Suchelss passengers arrived alongside the
company's wharf early on the morning of the
3lst, and two hours after the passengers,
mails and baggage started for Almera, whore
stages were in readiness to convey them. The
road was in excellent condition, no rain hav-
ing fallen for week and as all the needful
arrangements had been made, no apprehen-
sions were felt Of the success Of crossing the
Isthmus. 1t Was not contemplated to receive
the mails from California this trip. The

The GIoomy Night OF PYo.SiaveYy
Democracy.

very plainly 10 the career OF modern Dem
ocracy drawing towards its close. More and
more clearly has it been falling under the
diotation and control of the slavery -propa-
gandists, until At last it has become mere
machine for announcing their aims and ac-
complishing their objects. In nearly the
same ratio it has been losing the confidence
and support Of the people Of the Free States.
Its ultimate extinction at the North, since the
disclosure Of its inevitable tendency, was
only question Of time. And that time has
nearly arrived. AT the recent elections, the
popular majority in every Free State east Of
the Rocky mountains has pronounced against
it. Indiana is the only exception, and that
can hardly be called an exception, as the
Republican majority on the Congressional
vote il over three times ~ large % the Dem
oeratic majority on the State ticket. From
oil this mighty phalanx Of States, hardly
more than score Of Democratic represent
atives have been returned to Congress-, and
they have only been elected by almost super
hunan effort, the aotive and vigorous inter
ference OF the President and federal author
tiles, and the most shameless corruption
The fall elections have been but one unbro.

A Hiack Picture.

The Brooklyn Eagle lizard Dem. } thus de-
tails the effort Of its President to procure
return TO Congress Of his friend Taylor from
that district. To what extent Of usarpation
and tyranny are We verging, when such
scenes can be transacted in the open day
light, without provoking the wrath OF an
outraged people?
"The Navy Yard was stuffed with en-
ployees crowded into il hundreds upon hun
dreds, 30 that they could hardly walk through
tho yard without knocking their heads To-
gether; every one OF whom Was compelled
TO pledge himself to Taylor before be could
gain an entrance. Besides the vote manu-
featured in this way, every employee was
taxed more than tithc of his whole paw to
raise huge corruption fund to buy up the
hosting scum ever ready sell itself on the
eve Of an election. The men EMPLOYED in
the yard were for the most part noted bullies
and rufEans OF the city. We ask any can
did man IL the appearance and physiognomy
OF the squads who hung around the polls in
two or three Navy Yard Wards OF the city
yesterday, shouting for their master, could
be matched anywhere except by looking
through the gratings OF pcniten,iary -
Such forms and faces never looked upon
this outer world before except through pris-
on bars, medium Of vision familiar to most
OF them.
The means employed to manufacture
Taylor voters were not more corrupt than
the manner in which they were used was de-
grading. They were sent to the polls with
marked ballots in their hands, headed BY
their overseers, and driven like dumb beasts
20 the stall to vote this marked ticket, with
the eye Of their slave drivers upon them Z
spectacle better calculated to snake e,en an
gels weep than any scene transacted in Z
6osthern slave pen. The result has proved
that only the employees thus tyrannicaHy co.
creed voted the ticket, and throughout the
whole city it did not receive one honest un.
purchased vote"
II is some satisfaction to add, that Taylo,
was defeated by 2,6ls votes. But .ha, wa.
