LONE.

Alone, alone an alone
Though millions round me live,
There's not sol lary one
The boon Of love 10 give.
The would around is brIgh, and gay
Around are thousands more,
Yet am alone to-day
There's none my heart can love
Oh what i, life with ali lis tovs
From which we soon most part
It's wealth can purchase not the Joys
OF one beloved heart
Upon the rolling sea Of Tine.
lis melancholy tone
Comes rushing back, with surge aad
chime,
To bear me on alone
The gale and tempest sweep the plain
With loud and hollow moan;
Bni like wrecker on the main,
hear its hymn alone
The fall and wiRter sad and Grear,
Their trophies round them thrown,
Pass by,anG Spring and Summers here
TO find me still alone
All through the live-long day | toll,
Cheer'd by no tender tone
Forgot at night its sad turmoil,
Upon my couch alone.
Romantic sill. | stroll at eve,
And think OF days agone.
But cate will 'mong my memories
weave
Oh for some kind and loving heart
TO take this vacant throne,
lis light and love would JOY imparl.
And bless me all alone.
But should thus to live be doomed,
My heart would turn 10 stone.
And in this lonesome treast entoombed
Forget it was alone

No Right 10 IndOrse


A man has no right TO indorse when the
failure Of the first party TO meet his obi
cation will render the creditors of the in
dorseI liable 10 loss in consequence o
such Endorsement.
He has no right TO indorse foI
another man unless he makes provision
for meeting such obligation, independsn
of and after providing for all other obiiga'
tiOns.
He has no right 10 indorse unless he
fully intends TO pay what he promises TO-
promptly. ia case the first party fails &c
90 &C. Few indorsers prepare for ibis.
His relations TO his family demand tha
he shall not obligste himself TO oblige
another simply at the risk of defrauding
or depriving them Of wha; belongs to
ihem.
He should never indorse or become re.
sponsible for aEy amount without 'securl'

should be made business transaction
rarely matter OF friendship. 1t is equiv
alent 10 a loan Of capital 10 the amount oi
the obligation and The same precautions
should be taken 10 secure 1t.
A man has no more right to expect an
other TO indorse his note without recon-
pense, than 10 expect an insurance COM
pany 10 insure his home or his lille gratu'
itously.
It's not good business policy for one
to ask another to ndoIse his note, prom.
ising to accommodate him in the same
mann6t. The exchange Of signatures
may have, sBG usually does have, a very
unequal value. 1t is better 10 secure him

II is better TO do business that will in

eager, and which all true Democrats desire to
see! Why sail into so serious fghs under a
false or uncertain flag? Let the electors treat
Inc people fairly iE this matter. Let them
publish an address or pledge setting forth that
they are bound by the principles Of the Read
ing platform; chat they are iu favor of the
doctrines of suon Intervention and popular
sovereignty; that they will cast their votes for
70 man who is opposed to these Democratic
coctrlnes, but for some one who is pledged to
carry them out, and the divided masses of the
party Will rush tognther 10 support of this tick
q. This may save the State; this will unite
me party. But to ask us 20 sote for an elect
oral ticket so inhsrmonious as this, is to ask us
to make fools of ourselves; to pursue mere
shadow; to fight when we have neither men or
measures to fight for. In WILL NOT BE DONE!
Galess the party can be made to rally around
the principle which carried them through the
c2mpaign of SO, the msjority of Lincoln will

The SoHURz SPEEoH.-In relation to the
fraud on Carl Schurz's speech, the Springfield
Republican says:
'The origin of the shameful misquotation oil
Carl Schurz'e Springfield speech, which the op-
position papers are circulating With much gusto,
Is traced back to the Harrisburg, Pa, State
Sentanel. The more respectable of the jour-
nails that copied it, are heartily sshsped of theil
share in the mean business and attempt to shove
off the responsibility ss far as possible"
The Bedford Gazette which copied the SLAM
der is not one of the s'rsspeesable journals. p
It's principle is, ga lie we'll stuck 70 is as good
as the truth"

SHAKsPRARE ON THE PENE'A. EI.EgTIoN.--
ii Is said that you can find quotation in
Shakespeare to suit any event, and Dir. Hosmer,
Of Toledo, cites the following to show that he
bad the late Pennsylvania election in his eye
''We have the hearts blood OF the
House Of Lancaster !"
Who else than Buchanan was intended by
the demand,
'James Of Lancaster, resign thy crown
Thou hast deceived me
And,
"Here behold the pale ashes Of the House Of
Lancaster"
And then, inimitable Sir John Fslstaff, in
the fullness Of his heart, exclaims--
"Buck Buck would could wash myself
Of tue Buck ~
Aad of the Douglas, what, than this moment,
did the great bard point to, when be exelaia.-
ed,
douglas is discounted 20
Or when he made Douglas say,
s'l am the Douglas fatal to all those
That wear those eolors on them.''
Again
"JNother mother mother Oh, my dear
mother!

those lines Put in the mouth of his enemiea
"Hanatbal drives back our troops.

ALI. COMING OUT!

Alta Republican meeting, Georgesow Mass
The following song, entitled "The Quakers are
Out" written by John G.. Whittier, was re-
ceived with eclat:
Not Yainly we waited and counted the hours,
The buds Of our hope have burst out into flowers;
No room for misgiving-no loop-hoie of dou5i-
We've heard ironl the Keystonel The ouakers are
out
The plot has exploded-we'ye found out the trick;
The brlbe goes begeingi the sfusion" won't stick;
" hen the Wide Awake lanterns are shining about,
The rogues stay at home, and the true men come
out
The good State has broken the cords for her spun;
Her oil springs and water won't fuse into one.
The Dutchmen has seasoned with Freedom his krous;
And slow, late, but certain, the Quakers are out!
Give the flags to the windsi-s set the hills ali aame;
Make way for the man with the Patriarch's name!
away with mlsgiyhngs--away with all doubt.
For LINCOLN goes in when the Quakers come out!

address to the People of Penns'a,

Pennsylvania has spoken in thunder tones in
behalf OF the Union, of her industry, of free
dom. Her people have met the combined hosts
OF sectie1allsm, 6isunionisln, free trade, and
sill others who sought markets for their suf-
frages; and msjority Of $4,000 for Governor,
twenty congressman, aud more than two thirds
of each branch of the Legislature, attest The
fidelity of our State 20 the integrity of our in-
stitutioEs, and to the common prosperity of our
country.
Indiana and Ohio have joined the keystone
State in demanding that sectional discord,
wantou profigacy, and the dssolatioa of free
trade, shall cease to be the policy of the national
government.
The decisive battle has been fought-a nation
has been redeemed from disuuion and dishonos
By the verdicf of Tuesday last. The iasre was
made BY our foes and accepted by our friends,
and millions to-day greet the triumph as the
uuerriug harbinger of our national disenshral-
ment.
Let the friends of right not be content with
an ordinary victory--.4braham LincoEn can Be
called TO the Presidency By clear majority of
the people Of the United STATES, If all toho shall
rejoice at has coming avit but cast their suffrage
for ham. To that majority, Pennsylvania can
aud will contribute full fifty thousand. We
have but to be faithful to our great cause, AMI
it Is done. Let every man be at his post on the
great day, and the largest majority ever given
by Pennsylvania to a Chief Magistrate will be
cast on the 9th of November, for Abraham
Lincoln, for Union, for Freedom, for Fl aternity!

From Forney's Press.
The Straight Douglas Ticket.

We receive letters from all parts of the State
protesting agains: the withdrawal of the straight
Douglas electoral ticket. Many of these let-
ters are signed By Democrats who have figured
10 the fore front of the party for years. As a
specimen of the feeling that auimates the
masses of the Democracy in one of the heaviest
Democratic counties of the State, we direct our
readers to the communication signed s'W.," in
the Press Of this morning.
Another Democrat writes from Erie as fol-
lows:
ERIE, Oct. 90, 1860.
| see by telegraph 10 to-day's Buffalo Er-
press that 'the Douglas State Central Commit
tee have Withdrawn the straight ticket, aud
pledged themselves to the Reading electoral
ticket Is this so! Must the Democracy be
pushed to choice between the two iuterven-
tionsa had hopod fervently that the poor
privilege Of at least voting upon principle,
though With but foIlorn hope of success,
would be lett 20 the sdherents TO Democratic
principles. If the choice, however, is unayoid-
ably, the old spr;viso' doctrine, with either
white or black garb, /, for one, shall prefer the
white, and stand by free institutions. If
must be sectional, will not turn my back upon
my own section.
Aud still another addresses US from Easton,
in terms of manly Indignation, insisting that
tue straight Douglas ticket should at once be
Lut in the field, in order to allow honest Dem
ocrats chance to express their sentimen,s.-
We think it right to reprint the following cor
rseted copy of the straight Douglas ticket, put
10 nomination by the same committee which has
now formally Withdrawn it, for the benefit of
:hose who dosire TO have it printed and voted
in their respective election districts:
