ssThe Noblest Roman of Them All.''

In the last speech he made during the closing
hours of the last session of Congress, the venera-
BILE and patriotic ORrrTENDEN in the Senate, ex-
horteG to peace, conciliation, and an adjustment
of difficulties. He declared that he considered
it the duty of every good citizen to endeavor to
restore and preserve the Union. "He would ad.
wise that, if injustice were done now, the Union
was worth bearing much for; party passion and
excitement would hot last always, and if one
Congress do wrong, another may do right. But
this cry of no compromise was like the old cry
Of the Romans, Woe to the conquered, and now
translated, no compromise. The numerous Pc
titions received from all parts of the country,
were an evidence that the heart of the people
was right and in favor Of peace and reconcilia-
ton with their brethren, and that they were
not willing to have their children go to war for
a dogma. We are one people, of the same blood
and one family, and must compromise family
troubles. He was for UNION and not for seces-
sion, and would say to Kentucky, stand by the
UNION, till necessity forces you out, with constan-
cy and fidelity. This was the best government
in the world, Notwithstanding the bad admins
tration sometimes; and he would have Kentucky
stand by the Union, if rebellion swept over the
whole land, like the last soldier of brave band,
till everything was gone, and then consider
what next should be done. This was his princi-
pie and his advice."

POETRY.
To One Beloved.
BY D. s. FRAcKER.

When, like bird from off its nest,
The twilight leaves the dark'ning west,
And night undoes with trembling hand
Her spangled curtain from its band,
And myriad stars in phalanx CLEAN,
To light the mountain and the stream,
My prisoned thoughts their bondage flee,
And haste, dear love, on wings to thee.
When light supreme. of noble birth,
Bids silence reign DER all the earth,
And Nature, glad at such behest,
In nightly robes hath sought her rest,
My heart forgets its grief and tears,
Its buried hopes and pressing fears,
And lightly skins the Lethean sea,
To dwell, dear love, in dI cams with thee.
When rosy beams with bright ming glow
Descend the hills to plains below,
Like armed hosts from yonder world
With shining banners all unfurled;
And opening flowers, from off the green,
Lift up their heads to view the scene,
A fairy breeze watts DER the lea
AHu ucdrc, uodr ioVc. LILY SouI w tAcc.
Oh, may thy life be as the prayer
Which breathes upon the evening air,
And finding favor before the throne,
Reflects to earth in mercies shown.
May blessings bright as summer flowers
Shed incense sweet Ger all thy hours,
And as Gods bow of promise be
Ever, dear love, encircling thee.
And when thy pulse doth feebly beat,
And earthly scenes In dull retreat,
Shall fade beneath the wlntry breath
Of silent and approaching death,
MAY heaven send an angel guide
To lead thee Ger the flowing tide,
To that fair home beyond the sea,
Where joys, dear love, await for thee.

Letter from Gen. jackson to Rev. Mr..
Crawford, of Georgia.
WASHINGTON, May L, 1s

WASHINGTON, May l, 1888.
y 81 have had labOrious task here,
but notification is dead, and its actors and cour-
tiers will only be remembered by the people to
be execrated for their wicked designs to sever
and destroy the only good Government on the
globe,and that prosperity and happiness we enjoy
over every other portion Of the world. Haman's
gallows ought to be the fate of all such ambitious
men, who would involve their country in civil
war, and all the evils in its train, that they might
reign and ride on its whirlwinds and direct the
storm. The free people of these United States
have spoken, and consigned these wicked dema-
gogues to their proper doom. Take care of your
nullifers; you have them among you let them
meet with the indignant frown of every man
who loves his country. The tariff, it is now
known, was mere pretext.
Therefore, the tariff was only the pretext, and
disunion and a Southern Confederacy the real
object. The next pretext will be the negro or
slavery question" =
