Mr.. Editor.-Among the gifted intel
lecls of our country few have been found
who could take rank with Hon. Wm. j.
Haskell of Tennessee. The political life
of this distinguished gentleman has been
one of uncommon brlllauce. Early III
life his commanding talents were display
ed in the arena Of political conflict, and
he rapidly rose from one position OF hon
or TO another. In the halls OF Congress,
his sound judgment, quick perceptIom,and
well stored mind, blended with his finish
ed oratory and elOquence, placed hIm pre-
eminent among his pears. While repre-
senling his State in Congress he gave
way to the wiihering influences OF lntoX-
lca,ing drinks, and decended step by step
IuntiI lie became a common street drunk
ard. He wept home to his native State
and shook off the shackleS of the monster
which bound him to degradation. lie
saw how ruInOuS were the effects OF this
poison upon his mind and body, and for
many years he has stood noble champ
on Of the temperance cause. lie has
stood amid almost overwhelming temPtA-
lions year after year, the pride of his no.
bic Stale. But such has been the awful
power of this death agency over hun that
again he has fallen. More and more
swiftly he has been borne upon The burn
ing surges TO the vortex Of ruin until he
has become a raving maniac. Such Is The
awful power Of this monster over lis re-
formed victims. We humhiy pray God
that his example may be a burning beacon
placed upon this fatal rock to warn the
warm. generous hearted fathers and sons
Of jefferson County to shun his course.
This poem is one which will exhiblt The
lranscendenr genius of the mind that fra
med it. lis first part represents bis own
madness-the other the dream.IIke peace
following his restoration TO reason e.
