Vindictiveness Against Dem ,crats.

Under this head the Albany, n. T..
Argus and Atlas has an excellent article
in which it says:
"Al no time since the foundation of the
Government has party virulence So ragged
against Democrats as now. During the
Alien and Sedition reign of JOHN Adams.
there was no such vindictiveness display
ed When Democrats were punished for
opinions sake, it was by law, and the ca
ses of conviction were few. Now the ven-
seance OF party is administered BIZ a mob.
and il purposes to make all its enemies lis
victims.
This virulence and violence is manifest
ed mostly in the Republican press
Wholesale abuse. coarse epithets. charges
Of treason and disloyslty. insolent threats
Of punishment, are daily uttered against
Democrats. aud with risug yehemence Of
tone and recklessness OF demeanor. Ii ~
evident that the Administration party iu-
tend 10 browbeat their enemies. and put u
stop 10 the discussion OF measures and
principles. by violence Indeed they do
not hesitate TO own il.
AT the same time the most ultra views
of consolidation. the most latitudensrian
constructions Of Constitutional duty, and
the most lax views of governmental obi.
cations. are put forth by the anti Demo.
cratic press. Uiter:ng revolutionary doc
trines. broaching opinions at war with all
responsible governments, and appealing To
to lawless passions against the law. the ad
ministralion press seem to regard all H.
cense Of language tolerable. except srch as
is heard in defense Of the Constitution.
These expressions indicate long hoard
ed hatred of Democracy-a hatred that
not only includes all the members Of the
party. but its principles; and the explosion
Of ttis pent up antipathy is prcportioned
to the length Of tins IN which !, hes b.eo
held IN restraint

fcently powerful to elect President strong
enough to put down rebellion.
From all this, as we'll as from the civil and
military appointments of the President, it is quite
evident that Mr. Lincoln ha. no desire to fuse "
with his opponents, and we see no cause for his
friends entertaining any such desire. The Re-
publican party took the ground that their princ-
pies were heaven-born and correct and that the
people would sustain them. Such being the case.
they obsht to be willing to go before the people
and ask for endorsement of their act instead of
seeking an alliance with Democrats.
The conflict in which the nation Is engaged is
the result of the triumph of the Republican party
and is the first fruits of their victory. IL it is pal
atable to the people, they will give evidence of it
by sustaining the President and his policy and the
Republican party will achieve all the glory, for it
will justly belong to them, and it would not be
right for Democrats to claim any portion of it for
themselves.
If. on lie other hand, the people prefer peace to
war ); an honorable compromise to conflict Of
years duration revival of commerce, trad e. and
manufactures to Che present stasnation and con-
sequent suffering, they ought to have an opportu
nifty Of saying so by voting for men holding their
own views. r
Democratic committees have no right or power
to enter into bargains and arrangements looking
TO fusion with their opponents. They were ap-
pointed for no such purpose. The people of the
North are united in a desire to preserve the I'm
ion, but 1t is idle to attempt to conceal the fact that
there is very wide difference of opinion to the
best means Of accomplishing that object-one
side believing that it is only through war and
bloodshed that the end can be attained, and the
other believing that it can better be done by the
Offer Of a compromise 10 those so lately our breth-
rem. COMMITTEES and party leaders may make
whatever" fusion - arrangements they please, bu:
these differences will still exist, and sooner or
later will find expression through the ballot oox.
1t is useless to attempt to ignore them.-Nep A.

What the Republicans Prophecied


The Republican press and orators, during the
last Presidential campaign, prophecied that the
election of Lincoln
"Will give peace and quiet to the country, of
which it is sadly in need
That all branches of industry will revive, bu-
siness will be good and wages high;''
That sit will kill off the here's of secession
fer al time to com, -
That cit will strengthen the Union, restore
confidence and friendship between the people of
the North and South -
That "he will have an economical and pure
administration, and so conduct the affairs to re-
inaugurate the times of the earlier Presidents
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS rRoPHEcIEp
The Democratic press and speakers on the other
hand, told the people that the election of Lincoln
Woald result in the disruption of the Union;
commerce
Would widen the breach between the North and
South;
Would throw the laboring masses out of EN-.
ployment;
Would bring down the price IF produce. and in
crease the taxes of the people:
And, worse than all, would be likely to create q
long. bloody. and expensive war between the sec
fions.
Reader. Lincoln was elected. Judge for your
selves whether the Republicans or Democrat.
we're correct in their prophecy

EARLY LOVE.
MINNIE.

o thought of human love, that Ger
All thought of earth still rises bright
o glimpse of still diviner light,
That from the far, immortal shore
OF thy blest heaven 20 childhood came,
And fell unfathomably deep
Into the curtained eye OF sleep,
And kindled their the unconscious fame .
Still as the years come and depart.
hear thy sllvery voice and song,
Chanting forever, fresh and strong,
The first green lyric of the heart.
] stood upoL the oceans strand,
And watched the waves receding there;
Coming and going, breaking where
The children play on the smooth sand
White sails appeared far out at sea,
Like specks upon world of blue;
And further sinking, lost TO view,
How calm, how clear, how silently,
We sang along the unshaded hilI
We sang along the sounding shore;
A voice was speaking evermore
In dreams, when everything was still.
O spell of love, that lies so deep
Over my soul, by land or sea
The burden Of my song shall be,
Sleep ever softly, softly sleep. rtH

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MARRIAGE.

Jenny is poor. and | am poor,
Yet We will wed-so say no more
And should the bairnies to Us come
As few that wed but do have some
No doubt that Heaven will stand our friend
And bread, as well children, send.
So fares the hen in farmers yard
To live alone she finds it hard;
I've known her weary every claw
In search Of corn among the straw;
But when in quest of incest food,
She clucks among her chipping brood;
With JOY we see the selfsame hen
That scratched for one, could scratch for ten.
These are the thoughts that make me w illing
To take my girl without shi ling;
And for the self same cause, you see,
Jenny resolved to marry me.

P OETIC A l..
From the Warsaw Union.)
NIL DESPERANDUM.

"Come unto me, all We that are weary and heavy
laden, and will give you rest"
Come worn and weary hearted,
And sit beside refreshing streams
And beauteous bowers
Where Jesus feeds his lambs.
There pride, and pomp, and power,
Shall lose their mighty sway;
And IN the overreaching dome
OF Gods first glorious temple,
His holy light shall beam.
o, We that "labor and are heavy laden,''
Come thou and rest beneath this olive branch,
And talk with me the my site story:
That out of nothing brought this wonder working
world,
Replete ith mysteries that battle all our thoughts;
Yet firm they stand-as rocks far out at sea,
And will, till time shall be no more.
From mystery We came: to mystery We go.
Oh, Christ hadst thou not come
And burst for us the prison bars, "a
And Set the captive free;
But now, oh. now, far DER life's stormy sea,
The beacon light appears, vec
To guide our feeble, errng steps.
Amidst life's dark and thorny paths,
Into haven full Of peace.
o, mourning souls, that feel how dark the world
can be,
Come, sit ye here, and list TO this sweet water
fall,
And telling o'er your suffcrngs here,
You too, shall learn how grand
a thing IL Is To suffer and he strong.
Then shall ye know how perfect joy
Can crown thy head with halo all unseen,
Ard make for you-e'en here below
A Paradise of heavenly bliss.
