STAND TOGETHER! HOLD To-
GETHER

From the London American.)
Stand together hold to gether!
We are now Earths awe and wonder;
We are weakness, if we sunder,
Through all time, oh answer, whe thor
You'll not march in glory under
The old bannerS Hear it thunder,
"Stand together hold togetherl
Peace, my children stand togetherr'
Stand togother hold together
Strong and mighty while united,
Wrongs by us might all be righted.
Hark our fathers blood asks whether
Thus their deeds shall be requitted,
Hark their glory cries, affrighted,
"Stand together hold together!
Peace, our children stand together"
Stand together hold together!
See how despots mock the breaking
VI the power that theirs was shaking
That made nations ask them whether
They might not their thirst be saking
With the freedom ours was taking.
Stand together held together
Close your ranks, and stand together!
Stand toge ther! hold together!
All our fathers hopes deceiving,
Shall we to our sons be leaving
Shame and weakness? Answer whether
All their future shall be greving
For this sin there's no retrieving
Stand together hold together
Brothers rally stand together
Stand together hold together
In our greatness Englaud's claiming
Part. Shall men to her be naming
Us with scornI Oh, answer whether
We must part, our race defaming--
We must sink, our great blood shaming
Stand together hold together!
Now and always, stand together
Stand together! hold together!
Who'll bo false to those who bore US
To the Heroes who built fEus
Our proud greatness? Answer whether
All for ever shall abhor us1
"No," we thunder in one chorus
"Stand together hold together!

A New York Republican in a Tight
Place.

1t appears that John A Kennedy, Su.-
perintendent OF the n. Y. city police,
started the story Of Lincoln's assasslna>
tion with theview of getting the U. S.
Marshalship' A Policeman, by the nams
OF Williamson, during a trial in the Police
Court testified 10 conversation with
Kennedy as follows;
Kennedy.-"I understand you are a
pretty good Republican, Williamson ?"
Williamson. -"Yes, / understand n.y.
self to be So"
Kennedy, feelig his way safely, coutin-
ued. "I intend to send one or more DC
tectives to the cities of Baltimore snd
Washington, for have understood tia.
they are organizing plot or plots to as
sassinate the President elect at all events,
/ desire il to appear so, that l can do the
President a service have been spoke
Of as a candidate Cor the office OF United
States Marshal for the District and |
don't know but that shall be candi'
date"
Williamson was rather taken aback at
this and replied:
~ don't think Pm smart ut that kind
of business, and you can find some one to
do it who is more capable"
Kennedy replied very well," when the
conference ended.
ANY lie for an office. Any infamous
plot to get into favor with the President
Who will not be disgusted with such men
They are more despicable than Traitors
We have never read such series of SICK
ening aud Illuminating scenes as this Re-
publican victory has furnished. In false
hood, hypocrisy, coyardice and vulgarity
we have never heard of its equal, All
the alleged plots and counterplots have
been invented for effect, to excite the
puoic mind and to advance personal and
selfish ends. The reaction, however will
yet come.

BEAUTIFUL ANswERs.-A pupil of the
Able Sicord gave tue following extraordi,
nary answers:
What is gratitude?
'Grititude is the memory of the heart
What is hope?'
Hope is the blossom Of happiness
What is the difference between hope
and desire2'
Desire is q tree in leaf, hope is a tree
in flower, and enjoyment is a tree in
fruit.
What is eternityr
"A day without vest erday or tomorrow,
q line that has no end
What is timer
"A line that has two ends-a path
which begins in the cradle and ends in
the grave
What Is Godp
The necessary being, the sun Of eter-
nifty, the machinest of nature. the eye Of
justice, the watch maker OF the universe,
the soul Of the world.
Does God reason?
Man reasons because he doubts; he
deliberates--he decides. God is omnis>
cient; He never doubts--He therefore
never reasons.

This was twenty five yeaIs before the
Mlssonii Compromise, and yet the people
in all sections were contented and happy.
Bot the condition of things which sa,isii,
ed our fathers inthe time Of Washington,
OF course must be spurned in thi: day ard
generation, by the fanatics and crazy pol.
isical economists. Since the Missouri
Compromise has been repealed, the sla>
very question remains precisely as it
was when Washington was President.
Before the Compromise was enacted
State after State abolished slavery volun.

ious interference of Tho Reechers, Par
kers, Greeleys, rnd others of that stamp.
When the Mucklewratbs began to agitate,
emancipation ceased.
During the administration Of Washing
ton, the Society of friends memorialized
Congress, invoking its interposition to in>
terd!ot the slave trade, and submitting
the interrogation how far the powers of
Congress could be exercised toward the
amelioration and abolition of slavery in
the States and Termtories es. The subject
was referred to commilte composed OF
men perfectly conversant with the mean,
ing of the Constitution, for Mey had made il.
They reported The Congress, by fair
construction of the Constitution, are re-
strained from Interfering in the emancipation Of
SlavtS, &C." but that Congress have aus
thority to interdict the slave trade"
And when Congress was about putting
an abrupt termination to the slave trade,
u perfect storm of remonst,ances came
from Massachusetts, and other holy States
OF the present day. demanding that the
trade should be prolonged eight years be,
yond the time proposed; SO that they be
enabled to fulfill the lucrative contracts
in transporting the thousands of poor Af-
ricans agreed upon from their native
country to the Southern planters. Some
were building expensive vessels" others
had Just purchased and fitted out slave
ships" with view to the profit Of the
trade, and if ii were suddenly abolished,
they would be crippled, ifnot ruined

OF Congress show that the South were in
favor o. the immediate termination Of the

Five reapcrs and one harvester were

followed the Indians through the ever

the Camanche and the Cherokee

fire OF Buena Vista, charged upon the

Of the Montezumas. His arm was Gov

WELLIEGToN's WAY WITH NoNcoM-
ATANTs.-W eIIington's plan would be
a good one 10 enforce against those
whose curiosity to see is greater than
their patriotism to fight. When impor-
tuned at Brussels by number of the
amusement seekers among his own
countrymen to let them be spectators
Of the approaching battle of W aterloo,
he at once consented, and ordered them
immediately to be armed, equipped,
and take their places in the ranks with
the soldiers. Gen. Scott should Issue
an order at once, that every civilian
who attempts to cross the lines on the
eve Of a battle, should be at once plac-
ed in the ranks where his curiosity can
be satisfied and his presence made
useful.

~ In one OF the Indiana regiments
is Methodist preacher, who IS said to
be one Of the best shots in the rc ii
ment. During the battle, he was pr
ticularly conspicuous for The zeal y ;th
which he kept up a constant ire. =
The 18th Ohio regiment, in the thick
est Of the light, fired an average q
eleven rounds to every man, but this
person managed to get in a great deal
more than the ayciage. IL fired care
fully, with perfect GOODNESS, and always
after q steady ailA, and the boys de
clare that every time, as he took down
his gun, after firing he added: "And
may the Lord have mercr IN your
soul" Evidently he thought the body
not worth praying for after the aim he
had so carefully taken.

Hastings WAS the only official that we

peared to be fully aware Of the great
responsibility resting upon him at the
present time. The duties of his office
are vastly increased by the war, and he
IS devoting himself assiduouSly to them;
toe finances of no State arc better man
aged than Wisconsin, and under the
skiiltul management of Mr.. Hastings,
we doubt not, the finances of the State
will assume and maintain a healthy
tone. That the State Treasury may
always be as we'll conducted as at pres
ent, IS the wish Of nearly every tax pay
