Mr. Andrew, the Abolition candidate
for the Gavernorship Of Msssachu-

enunciaiioa on the subject of the
Federal constitution and the Dred
Scott D, cision when he was seIenadsd
in Boston:
81 deny to the Supreme Court
or any department of government,
executive. legislative or judicial, to
argue or infer any body out OF the
Constitution. We, the people, ss-
tablished the Constitution, and the
people knew who they are them
selves. aud want no Supreme Court
to tell them. TIE Constitution is
no hidden thing, and has no private
Interpretation. 1t vas established

lit they established the Government.
We are bound to comprehend that
instrument. 1t is to be understood
in the sense in which it was written,
and as it is understood bg unsophiS-

THE SURRENDER.

THE RENDER
He, to whom give affection,
Must have princely mien and guise, 3
If devotion lay below me
l would stoop not for the prize.
Bend down to me very kindly.
But bend always from above;
I would scorn where I could pity,
/ must honor where ! love.
Had you come as other lovers,
With your praises low and sweet;
Had you wooed in the old phrases,
Sitting humbly at my feet;
Hoa my heart had been unfettered,
And its thought scared free and high,
As the bird that beats at morning Z.
On the gateway of the sky.
But you wore your perfect manhood,
Andy kept your place of pride,
You have soft words as lover,
And true words as friend and guide:
SO IN you my fate has met me,
have yielded as must;
l have given up all the treasures
Of lifetime to your trust.
For my heart is in your keeping,
Helpless but for you stand;--
Who. for mo! if you could hold it
With light or careless hand!
But have no room for doubling,
Life's surrender is complete;
Fearlessly take my future,
And l lay it at yourfee =

TFIE VACANT OH AIR
There is no home-no earthly home
However bright and fair,
But has some aching, bursting heart,
1t has one vacant chair.
And solemn is a table spread
With costly viands rare,
But. fearful eyes will sadly gaze
Upon one vacant chair.
Once there were hearts which gladly beat,
All free from pain and care;
Now crushed. oppressed. they sadly gaze
Upon vacant chair.
Once hopes were bright and fortune smiled
Upon happy pair:
A noble boy--an only child
Now flied that little chair.
He sported mid the wildwood flowers.
And culled each bud most rare:
Blu. evening found him at his books,
Within his little chair.
Alb! Death had marked him for his own,
That idol boy so fail,
And left deserted ones TO gaze
Upon his vacant chair.
Fond hopes are crushed, the world blank.
Hearts filled with gloom. despair,
AS fearful eyes are fastened on
That angels vacant chair.
But Heaven is filed with changeless joys,
Yes, banished every care,
Crushed, bleeding hearts not there'll be found
For there's no vac1nt CHAR.
