How dark and sAllow Is its hue,
His lately flashing eye hoe dimmed,
His pace how sluggish 1t is too.
1t needs no words OF mine to tell
The psngs he is suffering day,
The shooting pains that ack his brain,
Which naught but pills will drive away.
Behind him walks with head erect,
with glowing cheeks and sparkling eyes,
friend who yesterday, lite him,
Spoke nsught but woes in groans and sighs.

States Rights vs.. the Democratic Party.

The Democracy of Virginia when asked
for the fundamental principles of their par
ty are ready with the answer, you will find
them embodied in the Resolutions of '9S and
'99. And yet no party III this country have
violated the principles contained in the Reso-
lutions of '9S with such fragrant, highland
ed, and reckless depravty rs this same Dem
cratic party "All the world knows, Tor
ought to know that the great cardinal princi-
pie of the extreme school of politicians was
a strict aud literal Interpretation OF the Con
stituton'- rejecting all powers derived by
Implication This idea found favor and in
deed was recognized by them as Il theory OF
Government because of Il ''deep-rooted ap-
prehension Of encroachment upon the rights
of the States by the Federal Government.
And what have we seen within the last
year? The President Of that party recon-
mending to Congress the passage OF Bank
rupt Law to be applied to the Banking lnstl-
tuition created by the State. And now for
an illustration: Suppose "a crisis such as was
had in 1857 comes on. The Banks suspend
specie payment and apply to the State Leg
islature to legalize the suspension, which
is done, and then comes the Congressional
law to force them into bankruptcy. Here ~
a conflict between the State and the Federal
government Which is to prevail And
vet this infractiUn of the State sovereignty,
so palpable and 50 plain that he who runs
may read, is recommended by the President
Of these par excellence States Rights men ol
Virginia, who are eternally pratinS and boas-
ing of their dead Grand Ma" the kesolu-
tons of IS.
The next startling innovation of the Con
stitution by these same strict c0nstructlonists
NAV he found in the action OF Southern
Democratic L. S. Senator, wherein he sought
TO transfer the war-making power from Con
gress to the President, to place power III
the hands Of the President Just about as
monstrous as that exercised by Louis Ma
poleon.
Why, oh why, are the democracy so we'd
ded 10 party name that they thus tacltiy
and submissively stand by, witnessing Con-
stitutional infractions, without rising i'll their
strength and as with the Voice Of one man,
denounce in uncompromising terms the lead
ers who have gone off after false gods, and
who have done such, despite to the teachings
of the Fathers of the Constitution. ffeL
