TO MARY 4. As*ss, IN HEAVl

TO MARY 4. Asses, IN HEAVEN.
0 Mary, if to spirits blest the mystic power be
given,
To leave their home of halowed rest in the fair
courts of Heaven;
Methinks thJ bright unfettered soul, on pinions
light would rove,
And hover Ger the stricken ones, who miss thy
tender love.
Fair sister of my SOUL mourn that earth has lost
u jcm,
Altho its brilliance went to deck, Heavenly dis-
dem;
'Ts always thus, the choicest ones, are soonest
called away,
Because their lustre is too bright, In this dull
world to stay.
But far beyond the bounds of space, the light Of
Neon and Star,
They find their appointed place, in the bright
realms afar;
And thus it was with thee my lore, that from the
cuMbering clay,
Thy spirit stepped, and freed, it took its shining
way.
And though thy loving glance again, we never on
earth shall meet,
Or hear thy gentle tones with sis, or sympathy
plete;
Yet be it ours to hope that when the last sad hour
shall come,
That We may meet in that bright land. our own ap-
pointed homo.

Editors Herald: - In my last letter I
promised to keep you somewhat posted in
regard to the sayings and doings" Of the
opposition in our quiet and fourlshing little
town. The Douglasites appear awkward in
their new positions, and backward about
who shall take the lead, the editor Of the
Courier particularly so. He puts one IN
mind Of child just beginning to walk with
its first pair of new shoes on-they don't feel
right, and the little one stamps around, then
looks down at them, then around to see If
anybody is watching it. Just so with that
editor; it is truly laughable. The fellow
looks troubled and uneasy, walks along the
street, button-holes some person that looks
equally fearful and apprebens've as himself;
they whisper something very low to each
other, watching each way all the while
In passing on they frequently look back over
their shoulders, with frightful aud ghastly
appearance, as if some dreadful calamity
was about to befal them-the editor particu-
larly. He enters his door, looks back, and
then shuts it cautiously. His conscience
seems to trouble him; by November | think
he will be hiding himself in one Of our deep
canons.
cannot hear what the Dougs done at
their last meeti g, or whether they held any
meeting at all or not. If they did, they
must have acted upon the advice Of one OF
their number, at former meeting. to hold
their meetings in private, admit none who
has not the grip and password correct-th's
seems to be Douglasism here now.
BY the way, have just been informed
how they got the most Of the names on
their Club list by writing down every ones
name they could think Of, without any re.
gard to their politics or consent. You must
admit this is a capital way to make up club
list. My prediction is, and think am cor
rect, from close observation, that the true
Democracy will carry this precinct by a
handsome majority for Breckenridge and
Lane. They are gaining fas, and steadily
We shall organize Club here on Saturday
evening next. I will write you again:

ses, either trample it under foot, or BY craft
undertake to undermine and avoid it? Does
he propose to reorganize the judicial branch
of this government to suit his party doc
trines by appointing to Judgships in the
Federal Courts, only such men as shall be
pledged to decide these questions in confor
nifty with such doctrnesl
These are grave questions, and unless the
people are judicially blind, they will consider
well the value OF Union, whose primitive
laws they are about to place in position to
be trampled under foot. The Constitution
is the written agreement by which these
States are formed into partnership, under
the style and firm Of the "United States Of
America" and if they would continue that
firm they must respect the laws by which it
was made-yea, each and every article Of
the compact We are not now to speculate
upon whether this compact was morally and
religiously right or wrong-they are polit-
cal rights, voluntarily entered into, in order
to obtain the advantages of Union, and
must be respected sacredly, in order to main
tain the Union. What will Mr.. Lincoln do

All Right,
with it.9

As the Inconsistencies of Douglasism be-
comes more apparent to the public mind,
we find his followers deserting him by scores.
Daily we hear of men returning to the De-
mocratic party and its principles, and avow
ing their determination to vote for Brecken-
ridge and Lane; and from present indications,
we verify believe that by the time the eec-
ton comes off there will be nothing left of
the Douglasites in this county, but the
Baker and McK;bben faction of last year,
and a few free soilers and sore heads, who the
Democracy would not have in their ranks
for any consideration.
Placer county will elect the whole Breck-
enridge ticket by handsome majority with
out fail. National men, all over the coun-
try assure us that the good old cause" is
hourishing, that the rank and file of the
Democracy remain stealfast to their princi-
pies. Good and earnest work is being done
in every section. On Tuesday evening last,
there was a large and enthusiastic Brecken-
ridge ratification meeting at Dutch Flat; on
Wednesday night at Iowa Hill; on Thursday
night at Michigan Bluff, and to day Senator
Anderson speaks at Yankee Jim's, and to-
night at Forest Hill. The citizens of Virgil

The Way to make Abolitionists.

We noticed this week, in the possession Of
one of our citizens, a copy of one of the Ii
brary books Of the Auburn Sunday School,
ba. .ked "Aui Slavery Book" Upon an ex
animation found tito be fancy little
picture book" and treating of the misfor-
tunes Of some imaginary slave. and all such
nonsense. Any one Of intelligence, who
sees the book, will know the contents of the
work is fictitious, and therefore lie, from
beginning to end. This is only one of the
means adopted to pervert the mind OF
child, and finally make it in matnrer years a
confirmed Aboltionst. 1t would be well
enough for those who have control of the
School to discard all such works from the
Library, for sooner the evil is abated the bet
ter. We are in favor of Sabbath Schools,
and would like to see them in every commu
nifty, for they are good institution and
should be encouraged, but we object to their
being made an instrument to instil into the
minds of the rising generation political poi
son. They were not instituted for that pur-
pose, aud should not be countenanced in any
such design.
