MASONIC FESTIVAL.

TIE Festival at Masonic Hall on last
Friday evening was very pleasant affair.
Quite a number Of our citizens, who were
not members, were present, although not
as many as there would have been. had the
Hall been larger. The toasts were appro-
pirate, and the various responses more
than usually happy. The Festival was ia
celebrate the Anniversary of St. John the
Evangelist.

THE act of Congress just passed, in
creas;ng the tariff on tea, coffee, sugar and
molasses, Is abominable in one respect,
The AK is specific instead of I'D ralorem.
A pound of tea must pay twenty cents
whether it be invoiced at thirty cents OIL
one hundred cents. Refined sugars must
pay eight cents per pound whatever their
quality, and molasses must pay six cents
per gallen whether it be LACK Porto Rice
or Steuart's refined. Thus, the poor man
who uses the lcwest price tea and sugar
and molasses must pay just as much tax as
the rich man who uses the highest price
articles. This is all wrong. and it is OPP
pressive. 1t is neither just nor wise legis
lation. 1t is, however, Of piece with all
the republican legislation.

OF honest scorn, contempt and bitter hate,
They soon shall realize their well earned fate.
Come back men of the South Deluded men,
Secession is but Treason. Trust again
The North. Unite again the severed ties
That bound us once in love Tyrants despise
Us now, where then they feared and would again,
Were we again united. Sea and main
Would bow before our flag as once of vore.
And frecmcn's hearts with pride would swell once
more.
Of local matt, RS little need be said.
Some few are married, and some few arc dead,
Since last we greeted you on New Years day.
But general thing the beaten way
OF former days is held without much change,
And in our midst has been but little strange.
The Eden promised us by Lincon's friends
Has come but somehow in their "aims and cnds''
They changed the standard men were wont to know
And in the place of what IRE had to show
As evidences Of our honest rule,
They give us lessons in different school.
Provisions labor, produce, land and all
That seemed to us of value, which we call
Our "wealth," and which to us was really such,
Have lost their value and distressed US much1
While necessares that we daily need
Have gone from low to high, and with speed
That makes stare in wonder. Coffee, Tea,
MOlasses, Sugar, Cotton, that were free
To all the poor as well as rich. we see
But cannot buy it's for the rich alone,
While poor men meath their burthens helpless
groln.
Enormous taxes stare us in the face,
Our commerce is destroyed and in its place
Dismantled ships, men idle, streets grass grown,
The first fruits of the seed ir-t sown-
A worthless paper currency that soon will flood
The land. breed speculations, leave no good
Results. The farmer and the laborng man
Have naught but health to bless them. Nev yer can
They see the days they have seen /; but we pray
Their, and their children's children may.
Eve said enough, my muse is melancholy
AS she reviews the rast years folly,
But for to day. let's take good cheer,
And hope for better times uext year.

4 ORGANIZATION.

On the outside of to-days paper we
publish card from James ReGpath. one
Of the editors Of the Pine and Palm, Ia
vile abolition sheet. printed at Boston in
which he retracts most of his previous ar
ticles on the war and the policy of the
government, and especially he murderous
plar of melting slaves TO Instruction.
In this Mr.. Redpath has shown him
self not entirely destitute Of those quail
ties which are necessary TO make the
man, and furnishes an apt illustration OF
the old saying, that
"W-.re tie lamp hold, out born,
Tie West SO le my ct...O.'
May he eventually come to regard the
duty of the freeman TO the slave in the
more christian and human manner, which
ne says he is endeavoring to do.
If Cameron, and number of his ilk,
would get on the mourners bench with
Redpath, the country would be vastly
benefited thereby. Let US pray.
