Memorial.
BY HATTIE +. BAILEY.


See Dana's % Houseiold book of POETRY" o 5l7
" When I beneath the cold, red earth sleeping,
Life forever DER,
Will there for me be any bright eyes weeping
That l'm no more?
1t may be so, but this is selfish sorrow,
TO ask such need
a weakness aud wickedness to borrow
From hearts that bleed
The wailings Of to-day, for what
snail never need"
- William Notts,qeCH, bora 1891, died 1885.
Would there were more brave hearts warmly beating
Lost one, thine.
Would there were fewer, bitter words repeating
Ger lifes decline.
What is a corpse? IT'S but Il faded blossom
It's perfume fed
And when w lay it the earth's cold bosom
And call it dead,
We are not speaking ofthe soul immortal
Which gave that eye
Its brilliant Ulster as it neared that portal
And seemed to die.
Weep for an Angel, all unfettered, roaming
Through Adens Isles
Rather for those whose barques Ger ocean foaming
Beset with wies,
Kaow not resting place but meath the willow,
ana crave It's shade.
Yes, a0eepJ for those, and smooth the pillow,
That6tts hat tn made
Rest, Past, rsst-warm tears were fast retaining
When thy pure heart
ceased its pulsations, LIES decree maintaining;
And thou didst start
Out in the fields Of the unrodden future,
Like young chId
When it first roams amid The scenes Of Nature
Pure, undcRled
Finding new gories wheresoe'r his vision
Might chance to peer.
Tins that brave hears walks in the fields eIysiaa.
Nor lacks the tear
lie sanity told us not to shed above him
When he dead.
But tears Of tenderness by those who love him,
Are warmly shed
we miss those gentle wcId=-his Ha1p's vibration.
And we know
Our throbbing hearts are fun Of lamentations
And over flow.

South, We bear OF Breckenridge declar-
ing for disunion in case of Lincoln's election,
anu at the same time declaring that Lincoln
Will certainly be elected. We should be sor-
~ to see this if re had any idea that Lincoln
Will be elected. We do not believe he will
be. The managers of the Breckenridge
movement are doing their best to secure that
result; but the people will disappOiut them
In the meantime it would be much more to
the credit Of these Grc-ealing gentry if they
would advocate dissolution aolr. After the
election, decided constitutionaily, We are in
honor bound te abide its results, and wait Tor
d Cause OF resistance. The constitutional
election OF no man constitutes that cause.
Many OF the Breckinridge orators here in

WHAT Is THoUGHT OF Mr.. BRECKINRIDGEs
SPEECH-The Cincinnati Commercial, Re-
publican paper, and rather disposed to give
a favorable view OF things anti-Douglas and
aati-Bell-speaks as follows of Mr.. Breckin-
ridges late effort at Ashland. Ii says:
Mr.. Breckenridge met many inconsequental
points successfully. and evaded the thing of
consequence. The speech is one of consider
able force, in that it presents the Southern
side of the Squatter Sovereignty feud in the
Democratic party very clearly and calmly
and makes out "a good case. But it is weak
in the only point about which the great mass
of the people of the country felt interested
and nine out of ten Of the readers of the
speech will express disgust and contemptu-
Gus derision at his failure to answer the Nor
folk questions. Several gentlemen stepped
into our Office, as the speech was being re-
ceived. and inquired in respect TO il How
has he answered those questions?' He did
not answer the questions simply because he
dared not. There is Il considerable portion
of his supporters who ayow themselves in
favor of a dissolution of the Union rather
than see a member of the Republican party
al the head of the Federal Government. He
did not presume to offend this class. After
this how fiat, stale, aud Improbable" is all
his woriy dec amation about devotion to the
Constitution and Union!

The EEead of ahe Breckenridge Com
nIttee at Washington Il Defauiter.

TIE St. Louis Republican, the leading dem
ocratic paper of Missouri. charges Hon. I. 1.
Stevens, of Oregon, Chairman of the Brock
inridge National Central Committee. with
being defaulter. or debtor to the Govern
ment-which is about the same thing. 1t
says:
1t may not be generally known that the
Hon. l. l. Stevens, late Governor of the Ter
ritory of Washington, and now Chairman of
the Breckenridge Committee, is 4 debtor to
the United States in the sum of over $4,000.
Such would appear from official documents,
to be the fact. We have before US the pub
lished statement of the Third Auditor of the
Treasury. transmitted to Congress in Febru-
airy lasi) OF the accounts in the Treasury,
Wan and Navy, Departments, which have re-
maincd unsettled, or on which balances APP
pear to have been due more than three years
prior to July 1st, 1859. On page % is to lie
found a memorandum on account of survey
of railroad from the Mississippi to the Pacific,
charging GOV. Stevens with q 'balance, Sept
Both, 1858, SI6,3I5 45. There is at his cred
it. on sundry accounts, Sc l73 Is still leav
ing against bin the sum OF SI0.142 %"
And on page sc, in the statement of the
names ofufiicers whose accounts for advances
made or balances unaccouted for, for one
year prior 10 the lst of July, 1859, as it ap-
pears from the books of the Second Audi or
Of the Treasury, have not been settled within
the year, may be seen this item: stevens,
L l.. late Governor. $50, $40 32-balaBce."
So, according TO these official papers, the Hon
Mr. Stevens owes the Government the sum of
S41,O62 50.
Gov. Stevens may well get up SpcciOus and
sophisiic Il addresses against Douglas; for be
knows. or Ought 10 know, that if the latter
becomes President, lie will make him pay up
what be owes. lie had better go about rails
ing the money 10 settle these old debts, in
stead Of footing his time away in the vain eff
fort Of defeating the peoples choice for Pres
ideni.
