Who bears the blamel from North to South
In impious threat has rung;
From Southern lip and Northern mouth
Defiant words are flung
The words which are q nations shame,
"Disunion -" strife w-Who bears the blame
Ho? Massachusetts land where first
Fair Freedoms banner rose
Ho! Carolina! land where burst
Her lightnings on our foes!
Are We ashamed Of Moultrie fame J
Or Warrcn's blood? Who bears the blame!
A voice from Moultrie's battle ground,
To warn the South, comes forth;
From Bunker's height with solemn sound
A voice robukes the North!
Tho martyred dead their wrongs proclaim,
And North and South must bear the blame.
They bar the blame-or South or North,
Who range tho hostile line
Whose words ars fierce, whose hearts arc wroth,
Who threaten-arm-combine
Who marshall here hostile band,
And there in hostile columns stand:
They bear the blame who urge the strife
In freedoms hallowed guise,
They bear the blame, who bear the Life
In slayery's cause TO rise,
Or North or South tis still the same
Ye dare not ask! Who bears the blame 7"
Forbear, forbear! the warning comes
From Yernon's sacred tomb
With mourning march, with mufled drums,
Our martyrs walk tho gloon.
Our star thick banner sinks in shame,
Our Union falls! Who bears the blame !

FROM PRENTICE

A Chicago paper alluding to the recently pub
lished letter of the late Gen. Qutman in relation
to the formerly -avowed opinious of Mr.. Dogglas
as to Squatter Sovereignty, asks :what Douglas
thinks of t he dead witness against him." We
guess that he wishes that all the witnesses against
him were as dead as that one.
A Virginia editor sneers at Mr.. Everett as ga
learned fool" Even if he is, he don't see why
the Virginia scribbler should vaunt himself over
the New England orator and statesman unless
an ignorant fool is better than a learned one.
A strolling vocalist writes to us from the
North, asking whether he can "sing anti-slavery
songs in the South" Oh yes. and, as he will be
tarred and feathered, he will be sure to get ex-
aetly the right pitch.
The Richmond Enquirer edited by the son Of
the man who was determined to break up the
Union if Fremont should be elected President,
puts itself in deep mourning for the election of
Mr.. Pennington to the speakership. Instead of
dissolving the Union, it dissolves in tears.
The Presidents organ says that we have all
the odds and ends on our side. We hope that
the "oddsv are all on our side, and, as for the
"ends," they are our Conntrys, our Gods, and
Truths.
A fussy little editor, who occasionally processes
to be of the opposition, states what he under
stands to be our plan of operations and then sets
forth his own, and finally suggests that both
may fail. If they do, it will be but a verifca-
ton of what Burns says about the failure of"the
best laid schemes Of men and mice"
One of the dullest men we ever saw was named
Sharp, one of the stupidest was named Smart,
one of the slowest was named Swift, one of the
talest was named Low-and the eI- Governor Of
Virginir is named Wise.
A Mississippi letter says there is likely to be
"a brush between two dirty Locofoco editors of
that State" 1t ought tobe scrubbing- g-brush..
A Pretty cane was left with us last week. If
it belongs to our young friend of the Democrat,
we will call and deliver it. We should like to
take a stick to him.
The Philadelphia Press says that the Presidents
editor "howls over Col Forney's election" Let
him howl To deny him that right would be to
deny him the privilege of being dog.
Tho Chicago Times says that Doug as has
"bcaten old Buck all hollow" The old one was
hollow before. .,...-.ur

The Place.

Omega. March 10, 1860.
The Nevada journal., 1860-03-23

There is always a "place" talked of
among miners which is supposed to be "the
p ace" No sooner do you arrive at one of
these "places than you learn that it is no
longer the place, but that hundred miles
further on is the place; the newest, the best,
and in every respect decidedly "Me place"
You forthwith pack your mules and start,
feeling sure you are right this time. At
length you reach your journeys end and
begin to look about you. You see men liv-
ing in tents, in brush shanties, and some
with but the blue dome of heaven above
their heads. Here and there men at work
with pans, toms and rockers everything
looks new; surely we have found it at last;
we've struck "he place!" But hold why,
why are those mules being packed in such
haste What can these little knots of men
here and there on the street be talking so low
and earnestly about p? and who is that tall
sunburned, sinewy fellow, with a crowd
of eager miners around him who devour ev-
cry word as it falls from his lips? See he
points to the east; every eye follows-he
points southwark and every eye turns that
way; what orator ever so enchained his au-
dience? What can it be; what can it mean
We approach knot of miners, they glance
suspiciously toward us, stop talking, nod
knowingly to each other and separate. We
follow one and question him he "knows
nothing" but we can see be thinks he kno,cs
a good deal. We try another and another,
and at last find out all; it's" the placer
the place and no doubt about it-just struck,
tall fellow yonder brought the news-plenty
of water, plenty of ground, plenty of gold
gold in ravines and streams, gold in quartz
and placersl Only forty or fifty or sixty
miles, east or west or south; everybody GO
ing they don't know exactly where; or how
or when they'll get there; but go they're
bound too. And so goes the chase after
that -the-wisp; that shadow of
shadow" the place."
Northern miners hurry off south to Big
Oak Flat, to the Chowchilla, or Kern River
cursing Shasta, Siskiyou and Trinity, and
meet southern miners pushing north to Shas-
ia, cursing Oak Flat, Chowchilla, Fresno
and the whole id southern country. Go
to Shasta or Siskiyou and you are told of
diggings in Oregon, at Big Oak Flat, they
talk of over the mountains" But have
found the placel Well, where is it? My
friend, its right where you nop are if you
are making one dollar a day ADORE expenses;
but if you must change your home, fix on
some camp before you leave home, where you
know there is considerable extent of min
ing country and plenty of water for the
greater part of the year; go there and stop,
and above all go to arork at something and
at some price. 1t is of no use to go to
place and stop a day or a week looking
about; man must get acquainted with the
ground and the people, and the best way to
do this is to go to work.

ElectOr for the Fifth District.

We give below the letter of j. R. Mclean, Esq,
OF Guiford accepting the nomination for Eector for
the Fifth District rendered him by the District Con-
vention Mr.. McLean's letter is appropriate and to
the point One Of the most gallant and devoted
Democrats in the State he will throw himself boldly
at the proper time into the canvass and will acqut
himself, we doubt not, in the best manner. The
Convention could have nominated no man better
qualified for the post of Elector than J. R. Mclean:
GREENSBORO, April It'll, 1860.
DEAR SIR: received your polite note on yester-
day, informing me that had been selected by the
District Convention which assembled in the town of
Graham as Elector the Democratic ticket for this
District. have been absent from home my cir
cult for the past two weeks, otherwise your note
would have been sooner received and answered.
neither sought nor desired the position Of Elec-
tor, and although it will cost me heavy sacrifice of
time, still feel it my duty under existing circum
stances, to accept the appointment. | regard the
next Presidential election as important than
any one which has occurred since the foundation of
the Republic The glorious Union, established and
cementcd by the blood of patriots-the constitution
framed by the wisdom and virtue of Washington
and iustrous sages of the Revolution, the Judiciary,
the great bulwark of our liberties all impered
by the fierce assaults of black Repubcanism The
preservation of these great and nestimabe blessings
IN my humble Judgment, in great measure depend
upon the success of the Democratic party. have
every confidence that the convention which will
shortly assemble at Charleston, will select sound,
conservative and national men as candidates for the
offices of President and Vice President and that that
ticket will be sustained and triumphantly elected by
the national conservative masses of the American
people. | will canvass the District as thoroughly as
time will admit
Accept assurances of my hig esteem,
Most respectfully,
JAS. II. MCLEAN.
To JAS. E. WILLIAMSON, Chairman of the District
Convention.
