CHARITY.

When you meet with one suspected
Of some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
AS thing of evil fame;
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word of heartless blame,
For the slanderer's vile detraction
Yet may soil thy goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered in,
Working out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin;
Think if placed in his condition,
Would kind word be in vain?
Or look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again.
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the summers genial showers
Never make their blossoms glad
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than by judging others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain.

Stolen waters are the sweetest,
Hidden streams the softest flow;
HappisSt hours are the feetest,
Wayside flowers the soonest blow.
Darkest days have rosiest mornings;
Foulest thoughts the best adornings.
Sunny climes have storms and tempests,
Choicest trees bear bitter fruits;
Serpents lie in greenest bowers,
Poison turks in sweetest flowers;
And the sweetest of ou- roses
Spring from ugly, tangled roots.
Shadows sit beside the sunlight,
And the brown shell sweetly sings;
While the sky above is weeping,
And the North-wind, onward sweeping,
Tokens from the far-land brings.
From the storm clouds pent up darkness
Darts the brightest lightning forth,
And the little fairy snow-wreath
Comes from out the frozen North.
Stars at night watch are keeping
Dreams come to US while we're sleeping.

JOHN WKNrwoRTH's PLAN FOR THE FULL Con-
VERSION OF DoUGIAs.-John Wentworth, COM
monty known as Long john" in the course OF
long editorial in his Chicago Democrat, on
Judge Douglas, Says
We have always said that Mr. Douglas would desert the
South when they deserted him. He has already taken
step in the right direction II s In the hands OF the
republican party decide whether he will take another.
he is now OF tho democratic party but does not appa
renty believe il himself We should by every means In
our power cndcavor convince him Of fact that patent
to almost every but himself Once convinced OF that
and Douglas will be or the greatest freedom shrekers
in the United States
II strikes us there is good deal Of sound phi
losophy in this view of the subject But who
could have imagined this to be " the true intent
and meaning" Of the Kansas-Nebraska bill? One
way or the other, the Illinois November election
will be charged with revolutionary combustibles;
and let Seward look to his laurels, If after No
vember Douglas shall become the greatest
freedom shriekcr in the United States"

ANOTHER GREAT SourHERS PARTY Hrx-
Bre.-we have received q copy, In pamphlet
form, Of the Platform and Constitution Of the
Great Southern Party but as the document af-
fords no sign Of "a local babitation or name, we
must pronounce II as nothing better than an
anonymous experiment Of some restless seces-
sionist, thrown out as feeler Of the Southern
pulse. After along string "whereases,r reciting
the intolerable suiIerings Of the South within
the Union the first resolution plumply declares
that IL Is the purpose Of this great Southern
party" to do al we can 10 bring about an hon
orablc, and II possible, pcaceablc separation of
the Southern slave States from the Northern free
States" and so on 10 the end of the chapter.
But the mysterious absence Of any name or place
to this terrible manifesto furnishes satisfactory
answer to the proposition. The fact that the
author Of this revolutionary scheme has not the
audacity to give bis name and place indicates a
healthy reaction in the Southern public mind
which II is dangerous 10 trihe with. 10 FACT
under the calm and conservative administration
Of Mr.. Buchanan, the game Of the disunion agita-
tors and mslcontents, North and South, il essen
tally played out.

LOCATION FOR QCARASr1NE, ~ QUARANTINE
THERE MUsr BE.-A spot eminently fitted tor
the purposes Of Quarantine establishment Is
that large creek on the southwestern extremity
Of Sandy Hook, called the Cove. Sufficiently re-
mote from the fort and lighthouse, and sepa-
rated from the Jersey shore by channel through
which prevailing easteriy and westerly winds are
always blowing, it offers but few chances for the
spread of infection. The sparsely inhabited
Highlands Of Eavesink are, it is true, just oppo-
site, but the distance between the two Is about
equal to that between the present Quarantine es-
tablishment and New Brighton, which has never
suffered from it's neighborhood, whilst 1t has the
additional protection of the sea breeze which, AZ
we have said, takes either an easteriy or wester-
ly direction. This location at the Cove
would, as will be seen by reference to the chart,
afford full protection TO vessels Of almost any
size, whilst at the same time 1t would offer full
security to the people reading on the shores Of
the inner bay.
Pending the decision Of the question whether
the quarantine system should be continued,
which, one Of these days, will, we are convinced,
be decided in the negative, we arc Of opinion
that the municipal authorities should call upon
the general government to cede the cove to
them for quarantine purposes. tits doubted by
some whether the federal government possesses
this right. We entertain no sort Of doubt upon
the point. The act Of cession by the New Jersey
Legislature grants absolutely to the United
States, for military or public purposes the
whole Of the Hook. There is no reservation In
the act providing against the sub-letting, for
temporary purposes, of any portion of It. Ii,
therefore, the term "public purposes" should be
held not to cover the Quarantine establishment
which we contend it does-it is clear that the
general government, occupying portion of the
island for it's own objects, and thus complying
generally with the stipuiations of the act, has a
right to permit the occupation of the remainder
of it for any purpose within its discretion. 1t
stands precisely in the position ola man holding
a lease If no clause against sub-letting be in
serted in it, he violates no principle of law or
justice in availing himself Of the latitude which
the omission implies

Az INDEPENDENT TICKET ron CORPORATION
OrrICERs--In the disorder and confusion which
exist among all the political factions in this
city, the old proverb may be realized: ''when
rogues fall out honest men come by their own
While the wire pullers Of the different factions
are squabbling about which committee and which
clique shall have the spoils, the taxpayers have
flne opportunity to step In and protect the city
treasury from further plundcring, by eIecting a
act Of good honest men to all the Corporation
Offices. Above ALL they should select capable
man for Comptroller. With an honest and fear
less man In the Comptroller's Office the stealing
would soon be stopped. II is to the incapacity
Of Mr. Flagg more than anything else we owe
the fact that three millions year have been
pilfered for 70 many years past, and that the
taxes have grown to be an insuferable bur
