ga The JIontrose Democrat INDUCES in its
characteristic blackguardism towards Judge
WIMoT for attending the Chicago Conven-
vent:on. Judge WOODWARD was chosen as a
delegate to Charleston, and did not go, which
the Democrat seizes hold of as an excuse to
abuse Judge WnMoT We should like to
know why Judge WOODWARD was chosen a
delegate to Charleston? lie was selected,
we believe by the delegates Of his Congress
siOnal district. They evidently supposed he
at that time desired to attend, and could not
have seen any mproprety in it.
One Of the most conspicuous personages at
the Charleston Convention was Judge Small
LEY Of the T. S. District Court Are our
conscientious Democrats who are so sensitive
about Judges interfering in politics aware that
the Chairman of the Democratic National
Executive Committee is a Judge, and more
than that Judge appointed by the PreSi-
dent Are they not afraid that the Judicial
ermine will be stained? We call upon them
at once TO rebuke such prostitution Of Judi
cial position and such high-handed outrage
upon the rights Of the people ! Here is a
Judge, before whom comes matters of thou
sand times more magnitude than the petty
matters Of our County Courts who is total,
ly irresponsible, his appointment being for
life, and from the President-and yet he is
mixing in politics and attending a National
Convention to carry out the programme Of the
present corrupt National Administration
We call upon our extra virtuOus politicians
in this locality to see to this-or at least tc
quit denouncing Judge WnMor until the
Craftsmanship of their National Executive
Committee shall no longer be occupied by q
Federal Judge.

who can rule his wife we'll, or at least be well
ruled by her, has made one step towards quail
flying himself to govern others. And it is @

We CANNOT BAR THE SUNLIGHT.

Ys cannot bar the sunlight
From the dwellings Of the pOOri
Il will shine in all its splendor
Der the humbles cottage door;
And the stars will shine rs clearly.
The moonlight sweetly fall,
Der the patched roof OF the peasant,
As DER the lordly hall.
Ye cannot veil the landscape.
Outspread and varied still
The shadows rest in every vale,
The sunlight on the hill.
The mountain in its grandeur
The foaning cataract's fall
The beauties Of the changing year,
As free alike TO all.
Ye cannot quench the light of love
Within the poor mans breast
Nor rob him of his sympathy
That makes his pathway blest.
Ye cannot bid the hue Of health
Within his cheeks go out
Nor shroud the sunlight Of his home
In ignorance and doubt.
Ye cannot still the throbbing
or the good sRd generous heart,
Nor bid the faintest germ of thought
From out the mind depart.
Ye cannot bar the glorious light
OF truth within the soul
Ger all the real good of life
Ye cannot hold control.
