ANOTHER MANIFESTO.

Douglas has published another manifesto
defining his views on his Squatter Sover>
eighty hobby, and purporting to be rejoinder
to Judge Blacks second publications. This
last emanation has not come to hand, but
we have discovered by ah extract from it in
one of our latest exchanges, that he per-
sists in his determination not to accept a
Democratic nomination for the Presidency Gl
if the party Should refuse to accept his ia-
terpretation of the Cincinnati platform, and
should " interpolate into its creed such new
issues as the revival of the African slave
trade, or Congressional slave code for the
Territories"
Everybody will see that this is as pal
pable bid for Abolition sympathy as was
his co operation with Seward and Giddings
in the Kansas struggle. No one has ever
yet proposed to disturb the councils of the
party at Charleston with the African slave
question, and he we'll knew it. The " Con-
gressional slave code,' is a hobgoblin of his
own invention, designed to render odious ii
the minds of the ignorant and fanatical the
doctrine that it is the duty of the Govern
ment to protect the STAKEHOLDER in the pos
session of his property in the Territorie:
when unlawfully interfered with.
When this man is constantly addrcs inG
his appeals to the anti.slavery sentiment o
lbe North using every effort to misrepro
sent and bring into disrepute the position 0
the Souohern Democracy as reflected b,
Southern Senators in the debate Of Feb
ruary last; and is shamelessly, day afte
day; hrusting his hateful hcreses into thoi
very teeth, we can but feel how base is tn
humiliation implied in a willingness on til
part of those he thus wontonly insults t
support him, under any circumstances, fo
the Presidency. -NississiPpian.

OUR sERENADE.


"Twas midnight the wiching hour
That soatters spells on herb and flower"
The ceaseess, wearisome din and hustle of life
had faded with the setting sun; sound after sound
had hushed into quietude; deeper and deeper
had fallen the mantle of silence, until now, in
undsputed majesty, it reigned profound Hushed
midnight mot d breeze in notion" and
''lf zephyrs come, so light they come
No leaf is stirred''
Calm, gentle rays from the faithful moon stole
softly in through the half.opened easement, steep
ing the heart in fUrgetfulness of its earth and
drawing it nearer the spirt-land
Surely magic dwells in hour like this, for while
sweet, refreshing slumber pressed lightly and
caressingly each closed eyelid the spirit released
from earth's trammels, wandered far in dreams
Lingering long and lovingly at shrines of worldly
love and beauty, free and unfettered, with treess
wing it roved on and on, until at last 1T compassed
the narrow limits through which earth's weary
pilgrims roam, and it waited before the crystal
entrance to the untold beauties of the unseen
world it sighed that Eden joys and loveness di-
vine must thus be hidden from mortal gaze. Yet
as it sighed unseen fingers noiselessly "oped the
pearly gates" and disclosed the amaranthine
bowers of the blest,
Where sirens wander @ er sands of gold"
aud where ceaseless anthems of love and praise
ascend. Gazing upon scenes it might not Join
listening to music it might not hope to swell the
moments passed, when suddenly upon our ear and
heart, thus freshly attuned to heavenly sound
there burst a strain, sweeter, purer than eer fel
on listening ear of mortal or of spirit before
Softer than the faintest tone of the wind harl
when swept by fairy fingers; sweeter than tht
whispered accent of angel, it flowed on and on
seeming, as it were, new and living tone addeC
to the celestial harp that is even sounding prais
to g Him who loveth us"
Longing to sever the chords that bound it t
lie, the spirit struggling with its clay, dispee,
the vision, and the sleeper woke to find t-all
dream. No, not all dream, for floating on tn
midnight air, came the same Eden sounds
Doubling if it could be real, with hushed an
quick drawn breaths we listened Gould nor la
touch produce sounds like those That fond
familiar air''-that tender "Home, Sweet Home
do angel bands remember them and chant thel
still? Alas, no! Noue but those who linger wit
us, readng the paths we tread and singing tn
songs we know and love, could blen dtbose chord
thus.
The "mellow Flute" the eight Guitar" tn
sad toned ACCORDION, the mirthful Violin, ming
ling togather with melody sweeter than tn
music of the spheres" What wonder that W
dreamed.
Twas beautiful, too beautiful to last 500
the magic spell was broken, and rs the las
faint echo in the distance died away, we murmur
ed with sigh, alas that
"All that's bright must fade,
The brightest still the feetest
And all that was sweet was made
But to be lost when sweetest"

FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
The following lecture was delivered in the
Ethiopian Methodist Church, on Friday night, the
3Oth day of September 1859, by Prof. jeremiah
IIaggns, 'gemman oh de colOred persuasion
Bro Charles Smith had also appointed this night
to deliver an address upon the same subject, and
each speaker was to have three quarters of an
hour, Prof Haggns taking the lead:
Ladies and Gemman, appear before you dis
ebening for de purpose OBJ Addressing you on de
ordination OBJ Temperance. What, gemmen, is de
consideration? So much liquor--sich vast guam
tty ob whisky is de indicator what instigates de
mediation under de circumstances and matters
and tings in general. Ladies and gemmen, when
charity come agin Temperance, it takes a vast
quantity of latitude and consideration to instigate
de circumstance. Look back, gemmen, to de fust
elevation Dere was fine young man, gemmen
but he surfeited in liquor. He took liquor at his
meals and couldn't do widout it, His wife she
had great consideration for her soul, but she
didn't hab no dresses for to put on. His time
on earth was nearly gone He was compelled to
60, but he want ready to go. Suppose he'd been

Josh he draw de ticker and he set it on de table
and invite John to drink. Reckly somebody
fotch along report John he hear de report
fore he drink. John he look at Josh, Josh silent,
What does dis mean? What is dis report De
report is, John, while you is surfeited in Ticker
your family is starvn at home. John heard de
report He pick up de ticker and flung it in
Joshs face After dat dere nebber was happier
wife dan Johns. John hated Josh because he
said Josh devaded him from his family. Derefore,
ladies and gemmen, Temperance is something
great something worth misunderstanding
worth the world. Gemmen, it would take null
titude OBJ quantity and Greek Grammar to i'm
prove de Temperance condition. Reflect back on
fodder page. Dere was poor young lady and
Young gemman he choose her for his companion
wild determination, calculation, inclination, con
sideration and circumstance, and behold he axed
her sentiments. She admire do young man, b1t
she didn't know dat he surfeted in Ticker. De
marriage contract was closed, but it was broke
by ticker. Licker was de indicator. De lady
was defeated. Lcker broke de contract She
couldn't advance under dat circumstance at all.
Ladies and Genmen, dis overbearing in ticker is
mighty bad ting De young lady was affected on
her heart and put herself to def. Ladies and

aud soon in the church the deed was done.

And tie so,e Of q young Manhattan belle

But urgent matters kept him at home.

THE DIAMOND WEDDING
81 EDMuND G. sTEDMAN.


0, Love! Love Love what times were thos
Long ere the age of bellies and beanZ,
And Brussels lace and silken hose,
When, in the green Aroadan close,
You are married Psyche under the rose
With only the grass for bedding
Heart to heart, and hand in hand,
You followed Natures sweet command
Roaming lovingly through the land,
Nor sighed for Diamond Wedding.
So have we cad, in classic Ovid,
How Hero watched for her beloved,
Impassoned youth. Leander.
She was the fairest Of the fair,
And wrapt him round with her golden hair,
Whenever he landed cold and bare,
With nothing to eat, and nothing to wear,
Aud wetter than any gander;
Fer love was Love- and better than money
The sly the theft the sweeter the honey
And kissing was clover, all the world over
Wherever Cupid might wander
So thousands of years have come and gone
And still the moon is shining on,
Still Hymen's torch is lighted
And hitherto, in this land of the West,
Most couples in love have thought it best
To follow the ancient way Of the rest
And quietly get united.
But now, True Love, you're growing old
Bought and sold, with silver and gold,
Like house or horse and carriage
Midnight talks,
Moonlight walks.
The glance Of the eye and sweetheart sigh,
Ane shadowy haunts with no one by,
l do not wish to disparage;
But every kiss
Has price for its bliss;
In the modern code Of marriage;
And the compact sweet
Is not complete,
Till the high contracting parties meet
Before the altar of Mammon;
And the bride must be lei to a silver bower,
Where pearls and rubies fall in shower
That would frighteu Jupiter Ammon!
