TAXING HIS TURN. The Republican presses always
have on hand some one Of the prominent men Of the
country, who, for the time being, monopOlzes the
choice epithets in their vocabulary, and serves as
the especial object of their abuse and SANDER. In
the last few years, President Pierce, President
Buchanan, Senator Douglas, and other distinguished
statesmen, have been thus honOred. Latterly the
most vile and vindictive portion Of their ISLANDERS
have been aimed at John Calhoun and the leading
members Of Congress who support the LecOmpton
measure
We congratulate the writers who enjoy a monopoly
Of this style Of newspaper literature their luck
in securing a new subject upon whom to turn their
shafts It affords variety, and divests their prOduo
tions of the monOtony which beginning to attach
70 them. The Hon. Mr.. English Of Illinois, Chair
man Of the Conference Committee on the part of the
House Of Representatives, is now the fortunate man
From a glorious political saint which he was in the
estimation Of these selfrighteOus caumniatOrs few
days ago he has suddenly become, if we believe
their assertion now one of the basest of political
sinners; man devoid Of principle, spy, traitor,
renegade and all the other bad things which belong
to the Abolition vocabulary.
It's no part OfOur business to praise or denounce,
in strong language, public for their public
Whether they agree or disagree with our views, we
are usually willing to attribute TO them honorable
motives, and desire to serve the public cOnsoen-
tiously. As We have not denounced the motives of
Mr.. English, when he was acting with the Republic
cans so we have Occas SION for personal audation,
now that he has undertaken The very difficult but
patriotic task, Of reconciliation Of important differ
ences on question of great public concern. But
we may appropriately congratulate that gentleman
on the good fortune which attends him. To be the
recipient Of the whole volume of epthes so forcibly
elected from the Republican press, is of value
TO q public man, than all the laudatiOn which can
be bestowed upon him. 1t is most excellent eerti-

The NORTHERN DEMoORACY.-While we can but
deplOre the infdelity of those of our northern
friends who have abandoned US in the late memoir
able crisis we can but f el an emotion Of pride at
the heroic frmness Of those who have stood true to
their past pledge, and nObly redeemed the conf
dence which the South has reposed in them We
have again and again insisted that slavery in its
constitutional protection had no truer friend than
the Northern Democracy, and have COntended that
in all sectional struggles the South can more safely
rely upon the Free State Democrat, than on the
Southern OppOsidOnists, Know Nothing, American,
OF whatever he may assume to be called. We had
never hoped that all protesting Democrats in the
North would stand the test, but we did cherish
an abiding confidence that enough would pass the
ordeal give the South her rights if she we're true
to herself Aud this is true. Thirty Northern
Democrats have stood in the late contest side by side
with the Southern Democracy, and had the slave
State representatives been united the victory would
be to u.s. and Kansas would this day be slave State

TWILIGHT.
BIZ rl7z GREENE HAEIuoK.

There is an evening twilight Of the heart,
When Its wild passion waves are lalled to rest,
and the eye sees lifs's fairy scenes depart,
As fades the day beam In the rosy west.
lis with nameless feeling Of regret
We gaze upon them IS they melt away, Ct
And fondy would we bid them linger yet, u
But Hope is round US with her angel lay,
Aailing after some happier moonlight hour;
Dear are her whispers st, though lost tReir power
Ia youth, the cheek was crimsond with her glow;
Her smile was loVeliest then; her matin-song
Was heavens own music, and the note Of woe
Was al unhsard her sunny bowers among.
LIES little world Of bliss was newly born;
We knew not, cared net it was born TO die;
Flushed with the cool breeze and the deWs Of DOFn
With dancing heart We gaZed on the pure sky,
Aud Knocked the passing clouds that dimm'd It's blue
Like our own sorrows then-as heeting and as few
Aud manhood felt Der sway too-on theeye.
Half realized, her earthly dreams most bright
Her promised bower Of happiness seemed nigh;
Its days Of joy, its 'vigils Of delight;
Aud though az times might lower the thunder storm,
And the red lightnings threaten, still the air
Was balmy with her breath, and her loved form,
The rainbow Of the heart, was lowering there.
IT'S in LIES nooutids she is nearest seen,
Her wreath the summer-foWer, her robe Of summer
green.
But though less dazzling in her twilight dress,
There's more Of heaven's pure beam about her now;
The angel smile of tranquil loneliness,
Which the heart WOrships glowing on her brow.
The smile shall brighten the dim evening star,
That points cur destined tomb, nor e'er depart
Till the faint light of life is fed afar,
And hushed the last deep beating Of the heart,
The meteor bearer of Ourparting breath,
A moonJeam in the midnight cloud of death.

the animal remained the same. The old Federal

ing treason, schism, rebellion, and disuuion. The
principles and practices Of this party become so
obvious and abROrrent TO the people Of the United
States that the leaders are compelled to adopt

way they succeed in throwing dust enough in the
eyes Of their followers to prevent an open stampede
or fatal disruption.

A HERoINE.-Among the naval officers dropped
by the Navel Retiring Board says the Philadelphia
Bulletin, was Captain SmoOt, who had received the
thanks Of Congress, and been voted a sword by the
State of Maryland, for his gallant services in the
war of 1872. The sentence Of the Board fell upon
him wi crushing weight, AM the modification
which it Occasoned him Is believed to have hasteDed
his death, which occurred some months since. His
widow feeling the responsibility resting upon her to
vindica.e the honor of her deceased husband, when
the first month of grief had passed. set about rear
ing the nOblest monument to his memory which
Roman matron could have desired. Taking the
Maryland sword, she proceeded With to Annapolis
during the recent session Of the Legislature. Here
she presented her memorial setting forth the action
of the Naval Board in her husbands case, and sug
costing that if he had been justly condemned by
that tribunal the gift had been uuWOrthily bestOWed
and ought to be no longer retained by his family.
Accordingly, she begged leave to return the sword
10 the STATE with the request that if the Legislature
believed that her husband had been injured by the
iuquislion, they would make some disposition Of
the token of confidence and regard that should
stand a rebuke to his prosecutors, and Vindicate
his fair fame. The Legislature at once accepted
the return of the sword, and passed a vote almost
unanimously, bestOWing it upon the gallant Cap

Rga. The Baltimore Republican remarks relative
to the course of Davis, Harris aud Picard, Know
Nothing Representatives from that State but now
acting with the Black Republicans:
There is no other way Ofrelieviug the city from
the Odium which the Abolition course Of her repre-
sentatves has excited, than the honest confession
that these men are not the representatives of the
people, but have been foisted into the seats they
now occupy by an armed association which cares
for neither North nor South law or constitution but
looks only the triumph of the selfish organization
to which it has sworn allegiance.
This is the TRUTH and 1t is only by frank &C.
knowledgmeut of it that we can hope to remove the
prejudice which exists against the city throughout
the South. So long as the representatives Of the
city permitted to misrepresent the citizens Of
Baltimore by their Abolition associations, so long
will suspicion attach to the city, and the South
stand aloof from associations with her.

PROFESSIONAL JURYMEN.-We clip the following
paragraph from the Washington Union. It speaks
Of an abuse which has grown too common through.
out the country.
A legal gentleman suggests that one cause of the
curious ics often given in criminal courts is
the presence of men on the juries who make reg
ular practice of hanging about the City Hall, aud
standing in readiness 10 act as tGLesHaH. A judge
in Chicago recently told several Of this class of gem
temen that they had "well earned their reputation
as professional jUrymen, and also sufficient amount
of wages to enable them to retire into private life
He wished for their services no longer, Their faces
had become too familiar in the court room, and he
had no doubt that the public and persons having
business before the court well as himself would
be but too happy to dispense with their services"
Then turning to the sheriff, the judge said 60 Mr..
Sheriff, if l find the jury composed Of the7e pro-
fessiOnal gentlemen, | will Immediately order its
discharge" Perhaps the example might be follow
ed in this District.

~ We are gratifed to observe that the Con
ference bill for the admission Of Kansas grows in
favor the better it is understood, and is supported
even by the most ultra papers Of the South. The
Richmond South, after critical examination, says
1t can see in it no departure from the vote which
affirmed the legality Of the LecomptOn Constitution
and advocated the admission Of Kansas under it,"
The SOuth further adds: To the proposition for an
adjustment Of the differences between the two
branches Of the Federal Legislature we can have
objection. Nor, provided this result can be attained
without any sacrifice Of honor or consistency, do
we presume there is any one out of the Black Res
publican aud Sepoy coalition who would wish 10
intercept the cOnsummatiOn. In common with the
whole South, we desire peace on the basis of jus
tice"
