The HANDwRIrINC.-Thc Charleston
Mercury thus expresses itself upon the
prospects of the Republican party,
from which it is apparent that it does
not exactly concur in the "loosc and
d~isjointed" theory. Closing a long
article upon the Kansas election, it
says:
"For our part we have for some
time past, looked for the mastery Of
the General Government by the Abo-
litionists to be just as sure to take
place as any other event morally Ger
tain in the course of human affairs.
The whole history Of the country, for
the last twenty OF thirty years, points
to this result Is inevitable in the usu.
al course of things. The South conId,
ere the battle was fought and won,
have broken up the deadly sequence
Of effect from cause which was rolling
ovcr her destinies /; but she has failed
to interpose for her protection, and
now no mortal efforts within the I'm
ion, in u Judgment, can arrest the
triumph Of Abolitionism in Selling the
government. 1t may be propitiated
and postponed, As the man pursued by
wolves arrested their attacks, by
throwing one child after another out
of his carriage-but the wolves over-
took and devoured him at last"

WHO WILL EXPLAIN.

In u issue of Sunday morning we
called attention to the Railroad Con-
vention to be held at st. Charles to-
day, suggesting at the same time, that
as the business interests OF this city
are vitality connected with the Cedar
Valley, Dubuque should be represent
ed at the contemplated meeting. The
City Council, very properly and with
c~ommcndable promptness, took the
matter into consideration at their SEES
sion on Monday, and appointed the
Mayor and two Of the aldermen as
delegates to the convention. These
gentlemen very properly waited upon
the executive officers of the Dubuque
and Pacific Railroad Company, to CO.
operate with them in taking care Of
the interests of this city and Of the
Dubuque and Pacific Railroad, but
were taken much aback to find these
officers Indifferent to those interests.
Now, the city and county of Du-
buque, who are the largest and prin-
cipal stockholders in the Dubuque and
Pacific Railroad Company, have a
right to an explanation of this conduct.
There are two rival railroad projects
looking to the trade of the Cedar Val
ley and to a connection with the Cedar
Valley and Minneapolis Railroad, now
under contract. These rivals are a
road from Cedar Rapids, connecting
the Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska
Railroad with the Minnesota road.
BY means Of this connection there
would be a continuous route to Chica-
60, around by way of Cedar Rapids
and Clinton. The other project is a
railroad from Cedar Falls to the Min
ncsota line, by mean Of which the
connection to Chicago would be over
the Dubuque and Pacific road, instead
Of going down to Clinton, &c. One
would reasonably suppose that the Of
ficcrs of the Dubuque and Pacific road
would not be Indifferent as to which
Of the Cedar Valley roads it was their
interest, or at least the interests of
their road and of Dubuque, to have
constructed. Should the projected
road from the Minnesota line to Cedar
Rapids be the successful road, then
will the Dubuque and Pacific road be
cut off from most of the trade of the
Cedar Valley; but should the pro-
iccted road from Cedar Falls north
ward meet with most favor, then the
Dubuque and Pacific road would be in
direct connection with the trade Of the
Valley and of Central Minnesota.
These being the facts Of the case, it
strikes us as being passing strange
that the executive officers of the Du-
buque and Pacific Railroad Company
have been Indifferent as to which of
these projects should be the success
full one, and that they refused to CO.
operate with the delegation from the
City Council, in representing Dubuque
interests at the convention at St.
Charles. An explanation of this course
will be expected and is due the COM
munity.-Dnbuque Herald.

A Lyric for the Times.
ny JESSE CLEMENT.

Too long, too long has darkness swept
Adown the vale of Time
Too long. too long the world has slept,
Thus wasting all its prime.
But ioy to earth ! a morning breaks
which brings the glorious day
When THOUGHT from iron slumber wakes
To fling its chains away.
Brave Science shouts and claps her hands
Her victory Is won
She links the occan-severed lands,
And makes their people one.
Flinging her III lins across the deep
Remotest realms to girth,
She greetings warm, with lightning leap,
Sends darling round the earth.
Proud Commerce shall her sway increase,
And firm the nations band
While Truth. to speed the reign of Peace,
Will visit every land.
Where cruel wrongs were lately rife,
Where tyrants long nave reigned,
The shouts Of Right, amid the strife,
Shall rise for triumphs gained.
The Saxon spirit, free and strong,
Shall all the nations sway,
And Enterprise shall bear along
From England to Catlay.
Excelsior " shall the watchword be
In every track of Thought,
Till all the islands Of the sea
Its bracing breath have caught.
The light Of knowledge, free to all,
Expands the plastic mind ;
And millions now in Errors thrall,
Will glorious freedom find
Their thirsty souls on wings sublime,
Grasp higher worlds than this,
And drinking light fromH eaven' pure CLINE,
Enjoy eternal bliss.
Though long, too long has darkness swept
Adown the vale Of Time,
Though long, too long the world has slept,
Thus wasting all its PRIME.
Yet joy to earth q morning breaks
Which brings the glorious day.
When THouaHr from iron slumber wakes,
To fling its chains away.
