What I Owe the War.

We were standing together, Faith and
I, by the railroad, with some two or three
hundred other women, young and old, a
crowd of noisy children, and here and
there an old man, or half grown lad, all
assembled to wait the passing of the train
that was bearing the - regiment on its
way to Washington.
There was a company from our village
among them, though they had started to
day from the State capital, and many a
mother, wife, and sister in the crowd was
waiting for last look from the eyes that
should meet hers again no morc-'it might
be for years, it might be forever so that
they we're, for the most part, very quiet
and subdued, though burning with sort
of inward fever of impatience, for the meet
ing that must be, after al, so sadly brief,
so terribly unsatisfying.
Faith was excited. Her checks glowed
her eyes shone like stars; and as she stood
there, her brown curls swaying in the
breeze, could but think it great pity
that she had no brave young lover among
the approaching volunteers, who would
carry away in his heart this radiant picture
of girlish grace and beauty. But she had
not-only some old aequaintances and
childhood friends so that there was dash
of regret to temper her exultation in their
bravery, and in the cause they were going
SO nobly to uphold.
As for me, I was very sad. My heart
ached terribly, because-strangcst of all
reasons-I had no one to grieve for.
"No," l thought bitterly, 4" there is nc
one in all these thousands that are march.
ing steadtastly, day by day, to meet death
if need be, to whom | can say, God bless
and keep you, and bring you safe home to
me again mot one to whom this parting
will bo the wrenching asunder Of heart
strings for my sake.
And then came back to me, or rather
grew more vivid in my remembrauce-for
its image lay always, night and day, in the
shadowy recesses of my heart-the love
that two years gone by had made one sum-
mer of my life long bright dream Of per-
feet content, without single shadow O.
alloy, until, all in moment, arose thu
terrible storm that was to make such uttel
shipwreck of my happiness.
How had it come about! could hardl,
tell, even now. 1t all seemed like SOM
horrible nightmare dream, from whicl

tinctly 10 understand that we will not and
cannot be dragooned into the support of
Abolitonism in any form.
o. Resotvea, That We rspudiate all affi-
liation, fusion, or amslgamstion With the
Republican party, and that we regard
their scheme of"Union pretenses" 10 in-
veigle loyal Democrats into their embrace;
and their efforts to sink the old Democrat.
ic party and ignore its principles, by pro-
posing Delegates and Candidates, compos-
ed, as their leaders directed "of Republi.
cans and those who were once Demo-
Gratis" as extremely contemptible, and sa
meriting the stern condemnation Of every
candid and upright citizen.
10. Resotsed, That the Democratic
party of Luzerne County does declare its
unoompromising hostility to the ACT of the
Republican Legislature of last session re-
pealing the Tonnage Tax of the Pennsyl>
vania X. h. Co., and thereby robbing the
tax paying citizens of the State and be-
slowing some s37o,O0O per annum upon
this mammoth Corpation, relieving the
Company in all future time from the Just
claim Of the State, Of millions upon mil
lions Of dollars which this Company wero
by law required to pay into the Treasury,
thereby placing the burthen Of our enor.
nous State debt upon the agricultural in.
terests Of the State.
IL. Resolved, That the act Of the Leg
islature in canceling the first Mortgage
Bonds Of the Sunbury and Erie Il. Il.
Co., held BY the State in payment for our
State Canals, sold to them for the sum Of
S3,5OO;OOO was bold swindle upon our
State Treasury for the benefit of corrupt
and soulless corporation and disgrace to
its authors.
II. Resolved, That we feel Justly alarm.
ed ut the rapid increase of our State Gov
ernmept expenditures, and we would urge
upon our Legislatures and the State Exe-
cutive, retrenchment and reform.
13. ReS0Ued, That we are opposed to
the introduction of negroes into the State
of Pennsylvania, to placing them upon an
equality with the white man, and to the
employment of negroes when so many
good and worthy white men are suffering
for want of renumerating employment and
