Upon the shutting flowers, like souls at rest
Tie stars shine gloriousy-and all,
Save me, are blest.
Mother. | love thy grave
The violet, with its blossoms blue and mild,
Waves DER thy head; when shall it wave
Above thy child2
'Tis sweet hower-yet must
Its bright leaves 20 the coming tempest bow.
Dear mother, tits thine emblem-dust
Is on thy browl
And | could love to die
To leave untasted li(e's dark, bitter streams,
By thee, as erst in childhood lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here,
To stain the plumage of my s;ness years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood dear,
With bitter tears?
Ay, must linger here,
lonely branch upon withered tree.
Whose last frail leaf, un timely scar,
Went down with thee2
Oft from life's whitening bower,
In still communion with the past, turn
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memo'y's urn.

The DiSOrganiZers.

''TreaSon has done its ac0rSt."
Forney's Convention assemblies at Harrisburg
to- day. 1t will doubtless be a large gathering
of the ''black spirits and white, red spirits and
grey" of the State, and be under the exclusive
control and supervision of such men as Forney
and Hickman. 1t is not difficult to predict what
will be done by the meeting or Convention
Hickman will address it, and resolutions will be
adopted sustaining Gov. Packer, and denouucing
James Buchanan. Arrangements will be made
for defeating the Democratic State ticket next
fall, and the preliminary arrangements will also
be made TO enable tht Black Republicans to carry
the State at the Presidential contest of 1860.
Whatever may be the immediate result of the
course Forney and his followers now pursu: ng,
all sincere Democrats must feel stern satisfac-
ton in knowing that the traitors have taken po-
sition in which their sympathy with and their de-
sire to promote the success Of the Black Republi-
can party cannot fail being perceived by even
the most obtuse. Treason has now done its
worst. The party is a. length freed from the in
cubus which has paralyzed its energies for years.
1t may encounter defeat next fall but it will not
encounter the reproach that it contains within
its ranks collection of political cormorants who
are never satisfied unless they are battening on
the spols of Office.
There is nothing to he more dreaded than a
| concealed enemy. An open foe is always enti
tied to a certain degree of respect, while the mis-
creant who, while whispering words of friendship,
stabs his victim to the heart, ranks among the
lowest and vcst of mankind. The Democratic
party has nothing to dread from the men who
acknowledge themselves to belong to the Opposi-
| ton party. Its worst enemies are the men who
while protesting to uphold and vindcate its
| principles, give aid and comfort to the Black
Republicans. They are really nothing better
than spies in the camp, and can never be trusted.
Now, that the Democratic party in this State
ha. at length got rid of them, we trust it will
ere long regain its wonted vigor and influence.
1t now knows who are its enemies, and i. can
prepare to meet them.
| Next week, of course, we will be able to pre-
| sent to our readers a condensed report of the
proceedings af the disorganizers, and will ther
Inform the readers of the Democrat & Sentinel
! who were the distfnguishe individuals who acted
a prominent part in Forney's Convention.

THE SICkLEs TRAGEDY-The trial of Hon
Daniel L. Sickles for the murder of Philip Bar
ton Key is progressing slowly. 1t commenced
on Monday of last week, and nearly three days
were consumed in empannelling a jury. The
general impression in Washington City, accor-
ding to the most reliable information we can OBJ
tain is, that he will be acquitted. Learned and
eloquent counsel are engaged both for and against
him. If Sickles was not just:fable in taking the
life Of the man who had dishcnored him, who
had blighted his happiness forever, and rendered
him an object sat which scorn might point its
slow unmoving finger" then the Creator was
wrong in implanting the sentiments of honor
and manhood in the breast of man. We think
no honorable high minded man, would have act
ed differently under the circumstances. gs.ss
