THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.



Over the river they becksu me.
Loved ones vhove crossed II 70 the further side;
The eieam Of their snowy robes see,
bt their voices are lost in the dashins tide.
There's one with ringiets Of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection Of heavens own blue-
Ne crossed the twilight, gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view;
We saw mt the angels who met him there
The gate of the city We could no. see
over the river, over the river.
Ny brother stands waiting to welcome me.
Over the river the boa.man pale,
Carried another-the household pet;
Her brown cuns waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie I see her yet
She erossed, on her bosom, her dimpied hands.
And feariessiy entered the phantom bark;
We felt IL glide from the silver sand.
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she Is safe on the further side
Where all the rsnsomed angels be-
Over the river, the mystic river,
Ny childhood's Idol Is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores.
Who cross with The boatman, cold and pale;
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch n gieam Of the snowy sail,
And 10. they have passed down our yearning hearts.
They cross the stream and are gone for aye,
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates Of day
We ouly know that their banks no more
May sail with rs DER lies stormy sea;
Vet somewhere, I know, on the unseen shore,
They watch and beckon and wait for me.
And I sit and think, when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore.
4 shall one day stand BY the water cold,
And list for the sound Of the boatman's oar;
I shall watch for a sieam OF the Tapping sail,
shall hear the boat as IL gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale.
To the better shore Of the spirit land.
! shall know the loved who have gone before,
And pyfulIy sweet win the meeting be.
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The Angel Of Death shall carry me.

pissolviug the Unicn Dodge.

In bis Covington speech, Casslus NJ. Clay
calls the threat of d s~solving the Union in
case q Republican President is elected in
RS6O,-a new Democratic dodge,-and
says
Let Us look at that a while this new dodge
for 1860. If you elect a Republican T'resi-
Can't, "Ee will dissolve the Union" Who are
ses Let US look at that. we" the slave-
hosdcrr, the number one, might, under some
foolish prejudices, think that they could do bet
ter by dissolving the Union but what are you
the twenty men of Kentucky, going to do?-
Why dissolve the Union? Answer me that.
We, the Republicans, say that in the free Ter
~yitories Of our common country there shall BIZ
Q place reserved for you and your children, III
case misfortune or slave competition shall drive
you from your homes into exile, into some new
sountry, Us it has sent millions, where you shall!
be untrammeled and undegraded again by Ia
hering alongside the unpaid slaves. For this
yoa are going to dissolve the Union.
Well, now, that reminds me- of an anecdote
that / used to hear in old Madison. There
wAs q coed natured old grandmother who had
all her children grown up and married Of,
and a little grandchild used o come ard Bee
her. Well, when the child wanted anything Of
her grandmother, and she found that she could
not prevail on her good feelings, she would ex-
srcise on her fears. When the old lady refus-
ed to give her anything she wanted, she would
go to the top of the stairs and say, nov, grand
mother, give it to me, or l viii throw myself
down stairs" And the good woman would be
much moved and would say, don't honey,
tonne and get it don for Gods sake, throw
yourself down stairs = Is there any man who
Is q laborer, who does net feel that this thing
Of slavery is degrading to him? Is there any
that does not feel this? Have / not felt it p
Have not my children felt it since l have been
thrown into this new attitude of non-slave-
holder. and now are You going to throw your
selves down stairs2
