LOVES HISTORY.
u CHARLES SWAIN.

81 CHAkLED SWAlNs
By sylvan waves that westward fow
A hare-bell bent its beauty low,
With slender waist and modest brow,
Amidst the shades descending.
A star looked from the paler sky
The hare-bell gazed, and with q sigh
Forgot that love may look too high,
And sorrow without ending.
By easement hid the flowers among,
A maiden leaned and listened long
It was the hour of love and song,
And early night-bi, DIS calling;
A bnrque across the river drew
The rose was glowing through and through,
The maiden's cheek of trembling hae,
Amidst the twilight falling.
She saw no star, she saw no flower
Her heart expanded to the hour;
She rocked not of her lowly dover
Amidst the shades descending.
With love thus fixe upon height
That seemed so beauteous to the sight,
How could she think of wrong and blight,
And sorrow without ending.
The hare-bell dropped beneath the dew;
And closed its eye of tender blue;
No sun could e'er its life renew
Nor star, in music calling.
The autumn leaves were early shed;
But earlier on her cottage bed
The maiden's loving heart lay dead,
Amidst the twilight falling

incorporating and regulating Turnpike and

Organize for h spring election.

Our suggestion to the Democratic Party to
effect a thorough organization with reference
to the spring elections, and to make nomina-
tons of full tickets, and uncompromisingly
stand by them, meets with a very cordial ap-
proval on the part of our Democratic friends,
so far as we can learn.
Last year the Times urged this course strong
ly upon its Republican friends, and in every
Township where they had the power, the Re
publicans responded to the suggestion, and
elected their whole tickets by the force of their
organization. In those townships where the
Democracy had the ascendancy, the Republi-
cans, as usual, claimed to be "no party men,"
and were decidedly in favor of making a rattle
of the Offices.
We again repeat our hope that the Democ-
racy of each of the several townships will at
once organize, and present an unbroken pha-
lanx to the foe. Its moral effect upon the con-
test next fall will prove highly beneficial.
If we love our country and our principles,
we must labor for their ascendaney. We must
stand by our organization, our men and our
principles

rhe Capacity Of the NEGRO FOR Freedom


The New York Courier and Enquirer, a
violent Republican paper, in a late editorial
article on Hayti, expresses the very decided
opinion that the negro is not fit to enjoy
freedom. He says that, after the negroes OF
Hayti had gained their liberty and established
their independence, they would not labor until
compelled to do SO; and, with a soil and climate
like that of Hayti, one days labor would yield
a sufficient reward to permit the spending of
many days in idleness. At the time of the
instruction there was exported annually from
the island 8 3,573,3 300 lbs. of sugar.. about
II 200, 900 pounds of coffee, and 100000 of
cotton. In 1902 there was exported lS,5O0,-
900 pounds of sugar, 43 ,420,27O lbs. of coffee,
and 2,4S0,340 of cotton. In 1926 the sugar
crop had fallen to 32,S64 pounds, coffee to
81, 1S9, 7S4, and cotton to 620,972. In 1S49
the export of coffee was 81, COS, 343, and cotton
544,126. Sugar, it will thus be seen, has
disappeared from the articles of export, the
fact being that what sugar is used on the
island is imported from Jamaica and the
United states. The total value of the exports
in 1889 was 205, 600, 900 francs, and forty
years later it was $500, 000.
The British West India emancipation shows
similar results. According to all past expert
ence, if slavery should be abolished in Cuba
and the United States, the world would have
to do without sugar aud cotton, unless new
laborers were introduced into those countries.

TFrom the Hardin Democrat.
Special Privileges.

The leaders of the Republican party. still
cling to their favorite idea of special privileges.
They are not willing that Bankers shall be tax
ed the same as individuals. They want the
farmers and mechanics to pay taxes to support
the government, and exonerate rich men
Bankers-from paying their proportion, al
though they receive the same protection from
the laws that individuals receive.
We want the people to read and reflect upon
the following Resolution passed in the Ohio
Senate a few days 60; and remember that the
Republicans all voted against it, and the Dem
ocrats for it. Farmers and mechanics: what
do you think of this position of the Republican
party? The following are the resolutions and
the vote. Read them:
"Be it resolrcd by the General assembly of
the State Of Ohio, That it is the imperative
duty of the Legislature to protect the citizens
of the State from the onerous burden sought
to be imposed upon them by the banks, which,
while they ask at the hands of the government
the same protection afforded to natural per-
sons, yet refuse to pay their equal share of tax
es, as required by the constitution, and seek to
cast the whole burden of sustaining the gov
ernment-which extends its protecting care
over ll-upon the people alone.
Resolued, That the Finance Committee of
both Houses be instructed to report bills en-
acting such amendments to existing laws, and
such further legislation as may be necessary to
compel the banks to yield obedience to the
constitution, and pay their just and equal por-
ton of taxation.
These were adopted by a strict party vote,

A New Gold Discovery.

The Sioux City Register of the 9th ultimo
says: "Major Alexander Culbertson, a mem
Der of the American Fur Company, and one
of the most noted and well-informed frontiers
men, arrived..i in Sioux City on Wednesday last
direct from the head waters of the Missouri
river. The Major brought with him about
$500 in gold dust, which was taken out of the
diggings on the divide between the Missouri
and Columbia rivers. The head-waters of
these two rivers, it will be recollected, are but
a short distance apart; so near indeed are they
together that Major Culbertson, as he informed
us, drank water out of the Missouri river on
the east side of the, Rocky Mountains, and in
half an hour afterwards drank out of the
Columbia river, ON the Pacific slope. This is
what is known as Gov. Stevens's Pass, and is
said to be the most feasible route for a railroad
to the Pacific. The gold 10 Major C.'s pos
session is what is generally called round or
lump gold, and the average of the pieces is
about the size of a grain of corn. 1t is not
of a very fine quality, being worth about s14
or SIS per ounce; but what it lacks in quality
is made up in quantity, as it is said to exist in
that region in abundance. Thsse mines can
be approached within a comparatively short
distance by steamboats,, and we have no doubt
will be visited by crowds of adventurers during
the coming season.

The Way the Money Goes

Some of the Republican officials of this
State have been practicing economy with a ven
geance. 1t is no palliation to say, that all par
ties are unduly extravaganza when they are
placed in power, because the Republican Off
Gals and their friends who labored actively to
promote their election inculcated the idea, that
they were free from the foibles and failings
hat were said to have attached themselves to
members of other parties. They were, accor-
ding to their own invoicing, perfectly sound
and pure-indeed, so pure and economical, that
prodigality would be scourged out of the pub
lie places at Columbus in the event of their
election. The members of this party have
been in power for some time, and if they have
conducted the affairs of the State on a scale of
rigid economy, according to their interpreta-
ton of these two words, we devoutly hope the
State may never have an exhibition of an adj
ministration conducted on what they would be
pleased to consider as extravaganza coming
from them.
We are induced to make these remarks, in
view of the startling fact that the reputation
of the canal contracts by a Republican SUI
preme Court hasscost the State of Ohio, in two
years, the enormous sum of TWO HUNDRED
AND THIRTY ONE THOUSAND DOL
LARS.
This is not all. The Columbus correspon-
dent of the Portsmouth Times, under date of
the oth INST, INFORMS MS readers That the work
on the State House progresses very slowly
that the last session of the Legislature appro-
priated $4,000 to, "fnish up the building y
that nearly all this appropriation is expended,
and the building is not so well forwarded as if
$4,000 had been judieiously used. And the
Ohio Penitentiary is now, under Republican
management, a source of no inconsiderable ex-
pense to the State. .
This is not the entertainment we were invi-
ted to. How much longer will a majority of
voters of Ohio pay such a price for the HONOR
of being classed as Abelitionists?- - Hicothe
