suppose that | am going to limit this to
the "hewers of wood and drawers Of wat.
RI" No, it is much Il picture of the
home of the professional man, the poor
doctor. the poor lawyer, the penniess min
lister of God, as it is Of the poor tinker
as It was Of poor William Smith.
Would you take this home away from
him who has it? Would YOU take i:away?
Would YOU fill his every dish with loath-
some putrelaction? Would you make his
home a den of kissing serpents, to coil up
on his hcarthstone or nestle in his bed?--
Would you plunge your knife into the
heart Of her he loves when he was yet
away, and place her discovered head, all
CORY, on his plate to meet him when he
next came back--woud you? You had
better, ten thousand times better, do this,
and all this. than to do as the villain does
who steals into another's house, makes his
home brothel and his wife a harlot. to
greet him when lie con es back with lewd
display of brazen shame.
Smith saw it--felt it. No more a home
no warm welcome agaia-no fond en-
dearmcnts--no cheerful evening fireside
no form to love, and no heart to beat re-
sponsive to his own Pressed as With a
fiery bolt, the crushed spirit of the man
rose at once to fury and madness. and his
heart and brain on fire, he bathed his hands
in the blood of all who came within hi:
reach, and first of all, of him who had
murdered his peace and dethroned his rea
son.

To the inter rogatoreS W sich we venIur-
ed TO PROFOUND, Il few days since, for the
consideration of the Philadelphia Press,
that paper has responded with more elab-
Grafton than the occasion seemed to re.
Guire. When two columns and half are
occupied in answering an inquiry for which
Il simple yes or no would sd.lice. the in-
ference OF a studied ambiguity Is almost
unavoidable. We regret to find, on perd-
sal Of the article in the Press. that this
presumption is confirmed by the tenor of
lis reply.
Instead Of direct response to the qUes
ton, whether the .dissentient Democracy
in Pennsylvania intend 10 aposasize TO the
opposition" the Press replies argun,euta-
lively that ''ihere can be no apostacy to
the opposition SD long as We adhere to the
wellsettled principles of the democratic
party, and we mediate no apostacy when
we resolve upon a consistent adherence 10
our pledges and principles"
We take this TO be an unequivocal ad
mission of the cha"ge implied in the in
terrogatory. The editor of the Press does
not disclaim a purpose to abandon the
democratic organization, bu. pleads in ad-
vance the apology of a consis en-. attach
ment to principle A person of So much
political experience as Col. Forney must b.
aware that no man ever betrayed his party
but upon some decent pretexi of patriot
ism, aud he certainly cannot expect to sat
isfy others by an excuse which he himself
would be the last 10 accept
In reply TO The inquiry whether the dis
sentient democracy OF Pennsylvania will
pledge themselves 10 abide the action of
the Charleston convention, the Press is
equally ambiguous aad unsatisfactory
In effect, it engages to support the nomi
nees OF the party, provided the platform be
acceptable to Col. Forney aad his associ-
ates.
In the days of his undoubled democra
cv, the editer of the Press would have
been the last man to make his allegiance to
party dependent on conditions. or 10 impair
his pledge of support to its candidates by
impcrtinent reservations.
1t is plain 20 our apprehension that the
movement of which Mr. Forney is the
leader, is premediated and irreparable
revolt against the democratic organization.
Ii is eqyaIly obvious that, 10 matter what
may be the present intention of these per-
sons, they will fall by irresistible gravita-
/ ton into the bosom of the black republican
party - " dShiagton States.

GONE BACK TO HER NIGGER.-The Jud
son girl, whose elopemeat from Pontiac
with the niger Joe some time since caus-
ed considerable talk. is now in Canada liv
ing with him, having again deserted her
home and friends. On the occasion of her
former elopement her father and brother
reclaimed her with great dific-lty. and
took her to Indiana, where divorce was
obtained. She went home with them and
remained until last week, when she again
left. with or without the consent Of kei pa
rents, and came TO Detroit. Crossing the
river she found Joe, and they were speed
ily married for the second time, and are
now living in the ealoym-nt of connnbial
happiness, Joe having sold | is horse ard
cart and bought some furniture wi;h he
proceeds.
The disgusting farce is at last consum-
mated. and we have as the result the spec
tacle Of a well educated. intelligent young
woman living in the marriage relation with
a lame and toothiess old nigger. under the
pretease Of LOVE- Il is the fruit of the

and are the object of much solicitude and
curiosity. What renders the matter SO
strange and unaccountable is that the girl
is not az IDIOT, but that she is, as we have
said before. intelligent, good looking. and
well educated. Her parents are wealthy.
and she had to all appearances. a good
home. e.-Det Free Press, dpra &c.

'Elac Republicans asad JesseR'-


An old Democrat, writing in the Ports
month On. H. Gazette, aliu'es to the re
cent attempt of the Republicans, TO appro-
pirate Jefferson as the father of their party,
and his principles as their principles, in a
manner that is likely TO revive many rem
iniscences of those days when Jefferson
was President, and the Democracy sus-
tained him agbnst the fierce assaults of
the fedcraists.
One of the Republicans who were invi
tod to attend the Boston celebration, and
who appeared 10y letter, was William G.
Bryant, the editor of the New York Even
ing Post--who, in Jefferson = time, was an
old line Federalist, and is now bitterly op-
posed to the Democratic party. Here is
his letter:

Live For Something
gY CHARLES SWAIN.

Live for something, he not idle
Look about thee for employ
Sit not down to useless dteaming-
Labor is the sweetest JOY.
Folded hands are ever weary.
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for thee hath many duties
Active be, then. while you may.
Scatter blessings in the pathway-
Gentle words and cheering smiles
Better are than gold or silver,
With their grief dispcllin. wilcs.
As the pleasant sunshine falleth
Ever on the greatful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. well the darkened hearth.
Hearts there are oppressed and weary;
D1P the tear Of sympathy.
Whisper words OF hope and comfort,
Give, and thy reward shall be
JOY unto thy soul returning
From this perfect. fountain head,
Freely as thou freely givest,
Shall the grateful light be shed.

Thou, who, when mcnaced by perfidious Gaul
Didst PROSTATE to her whiskered mnions fall;
And when our cash her empty bags supplied:
Didst mcanv strive the foul disgrace to hide,
Go, wretch; resign the Presidential chair,
Disclose thy secret measures foul or fair;
Go, search with curious eye for horned frogs,
Md the wild waste of Louisiana bogs,
Or where the OhiorOlis his turbld stream,
Dig for huge bones, thy glory and thy theme
Go scar, Philosophtst, thy Sally's charms,
And sink supinely in her sable arms;
But quit to ADLER hands the helm ot State,
Nor image ruin on thy country's fac.

FROM WILLIAM G. BRYANT.
New Ynrk. Aaril /. LIE,


GESTLEMEN:--I thank you for inviting
me 10 attend the festival you are about to
hold in honor of the memory of Jefferson
You do well to observe the birthday of that
great man, one OF the wisest political phil
osophers of his time-wiser, | think than
any who lived in times before hm--onc
who saw deeper into the principles of gov
ernment :han his contemporaries knew. |
should be most happy to unite with you in
this commemoration. but am withheld by
my various occupations.

w. G. BRYANT.
Messrs. II L. Pierce and others. members
of the Committee.
This letter is particularly rich when pla
ced in contrast with the writer's former
opinion of Mr.. Jefferson. He Processes
now to think that he was "a great man
"wiser than any who lived in the times be-
fore him." but formerly he regarded him
''the scorn of every patriot name.''
We append short poem written by
Bryant in 1903, and invite to it the atten-
tion of Democratic Republicans:
ON THOMAS JEFFERSON.
And thou, the scom of every patriot name,
Thy country's ruin, and her councils shame
