My Dear Sir: l have been endeav-
oring to make an opportunity for some
days past to answer your very friendly
and seductive letter, but my whole time,
day and night, has been so constantly
occupied with other matters that could
not be postponed, that until the present
l have been compelled to defer it, and
even now must be brief.
Ispeak of your letter as being seduc-
tive; l refer, of course, to those por-
tions which hold out promises of future
greatness, if l will "seize upon the
present occasion with a nervous grasp
and guide the movement in favor of
secession" which you think is fixed and
inevitable, and many a charming
woman has sacrificed her honor and
her reputation to.the insidious tempter
under far less imposing circumstances
than you present for my consideration
but it was only because they had not

and the government of the United
States is to be overthrown, no part Of
the folly, the wickedness, or the crime

the wise and good men of the present
age, or of generations yet to come.

For the Republican.
Give us Light.


Let the midnight shadows flee,
Toss away the long dark night
of Ignorance and bigotry.
Care not, though our Idols fall,
Relics Of the misty past;
Can they answer when we call?
Can they give rs what we ask?
Idols framed by human hands,
Wrought in darkness and in gloom;
Something more the soul demands,
Give its Godlike nature room.
Bid us not bow down again
To a shattered mouldy shrine,
We have questioned there in vain,
We have asked for light divine.
1t has mocked our payers and tears,
When we bent above the tomb;
Leaving there the hopes of years.
Could our Idols light the glooma
Could they draw aside the veil,
Black as midnight round the deads
Sound the ocean where they sail
Tell us of our loved ones fed!
Can they bring an echo back,
From that far off lovely shore!
Point the spirits onward track,
Through the realms of evermore?
Can they bring an olige-leaf
From the amaranthine bowers,
To assuage the mourner's grief,
And illumine life's dark hours!
Oh no, no, no, not one
Faint token bring they from the dead;
The only answer is moan
Of hopeless sorrow o'er their bed,
Give us light. light, light!
Flashing downward thro' the spheres;
We are weary of the night
Of thousand darkened years.
Give us freedom for the soull
We are weary of the chainl
Awakened reasons spurns control,
And scars beyond the tyrants reign.
Where the Idol Greed has sat,
Wrapt in mystery profound,
Thought is sitting now erect,
Dash'd the Idol on the ground
And its fragments one by one,
Thought is scanning Ger and Ger,
Smiling that its day is done,
Wondering twas not done before.
Legends of the days of yore
Will not nourish famished faith;
Still 1t calls for something more,
And its Idol nothing saith.
Faith is dark and hope is dead,
Starved upon the meagre past;
Turns the soul in doubt and dread
To the inward light at last.
Yes within each human breast,
Feebly burns lamp divine;
Lit by God, by angels fed,
Through eternity to shine.
Bring the lamp within the shrine,
Where the golden gods have stood,
Let its CLEANS around them shine,
Lo! they turn to stone and wood.
Ye who feed their altar's fires,
Since the mystic art begun,
Tell us why their light expires
In the rays of sciences sun.
Was the god of Jushua,
The god of battles and of blood,
The same that lit the Milky Way?
The same that gives the sparrows food
Did he bid the Solar Sphere,
Pause in its eternal race
Just to guide warriors spear,
And assist bloody chase?
Did he bid his chosen race,
Seize and hold in slavery's chains,
Conquered foes, and give their place,
To increase the spoilers gains!
Reason sickens at the tale;
Those were heathen gods know;
Gods that change, repent, beacaI,
Because their works deceive them so.
Give us light! light from heaven!
Light that meets the light ,oithin;
For the spark by Mature given
Must be true, though it be dim.
Every CLEAN of heavenly truth
Must surely blend with reasons S ray,
And the light within the soul
Will brighten into perfect day.
