The Smoky Hill and Republican union. [volume] (Junction City, Kan.) 1861-1864, 1862-07-03

IIBERTY's ANTHEM.


Who has never heard the story, =
How our noble fathers Fought +
How in spite of foe or tory,
Heaven-like freedom here they wrought 7
How our mothers, angel-hearted.
Toiled for those they loved most dear,
Cbeered them on till Death them parted.
Wet their graves with anguished tear3
Word. would fail to tell that anguish,
Deeply rooted in their hearts,
When they saw their country languish
Under tyrants's goading smart.
When they saw their brothers perish,
Fall their country's life to save,
Il it strange. that they should cherish
Flowers around their lowly graves?
Silent PRAYERS went up to Heaven,
Breathed amid their sobs and sighs,
Till at last sweet peace was given,
Tears were wiped from weeping eyes.
Then the flowers nursed in sorrow,
Round the lonely, narrow graves,
On this glorious, happy morrow,
Filled with fragrance Zephyrs waves.
Little birds caught up tn infection,
Warbled forth the joyous glee,
Singing to the oppressed affection,
Freedom from all tyranny.
Birds and breezes, trees and flowers,
With the chant imbued the air;
Newborn babes, in their first hours,
Brcathed it in to flourish there.
Thus the USIoS's sons and daughters,
Free become at their first breath.
Call tn oppressed from DER the waters
To enjoy the tyrant's death.
Now when rebels CORY handed,
Seek to make our land dearth,
Like their fathers, strongly banded,
They are crushing them to earth.

~ Gen. Harney is living very quiet
and retired at St. Louis, having recently
bought fiue house in the addition" and
going into the city occasionally, attracts .
good deal Of attention BY his fine soldierly
bearing, yet devoid Of all military trap
pings, his dress being plain suit Of black.
He doubtless watches the movements on
the great chess board, in the game Of the
" Union," with great deal of interest.

ceedings before the Senators lately sitting

constitutionally assembled. / am still Of
opinion that the pretended session of the
Senate was wholly unauthorized BY the
Constitution aud its judgment is nullity.

my Office as Secretary Of State until it
shall be authoritively settled that the late

Conduct OF the war

The committee are still pursuing their in

questions have so far been taking up First
The Ball Run defeat. Second-The Balls

Gen. Fremont. The point IN the Bull Run
disaster now under inquiry Is as 10 whether
our defeat was caused by the failure Of Gen.
Patterson to carry out his order given by
Gen. Scott, and whether ne miSled Gen
Scott by sending false information as to the
movements Of Gen. Johnston. Gen Pat

Indiana Democratic ConvEs-

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 9.-The Democratic
State Convention convened yesterday morn
ing, and was largely attended, every county
but eight being represented.
Thomas a. Hendricks, of Marion, was ap-
pointed president. His remarks. on taking

lican party and the policy of the Admins
tration.
\ :est vote was takeu on a proposition
TO make a platform and adjourn without
nominating candidates. 1t was lost by n vote
of - yeas to 42l nays.
After recess, the platform and rcsolu-
tiOns were reported, and passed under the
operation of the previous question.
The resolutions set forth that the restora-

a. & BARKER.
He is an Ab0litionist.
The Proof is Here. v

We think it unnecessary to remind our
readers, that the controversy which has
been going on for several months between
the editor of this paper and the responsible
editor of the AHeghanjdn, was not of our
seeking-fact which all who have perused
the editorial in the AIeghanial, since Bar
ker took charge OF it, well know. He
and his deputies, signalized the beginning
of their career as editors, by making a
fierce attack on our character as man and
patriot We Of course, felt il TO be our
duty TO meet the assault with the spirit and
energy of a man, who, knowing his rights
dare maintain them. Daring the spolitical
campaign which closed on the second Tues
day of last October, we put them .through
in manner that elected the unanimous
approval of the Democracy Of this County.
After the election. we were willing TO drop
the controversy, but Barker and his dePu-
ties would not permit us to 10 50. We
therefore felt it to be our duty to return
every blow we received, with double inter-
est. ard our readers should remember that
If we occasionally laid on the lash without
mercy, the provocation we received for so
doing, was by TO means trifing- We have
never willfuily attempted to wound the fee
lings of any man living, unless he had in
the first place attempted to wound Ous.-
During the progress Of the controversy, we
have repeatedly charged Barker with being
an Abolitionist, and stated the facts on
which we relied, to substautiate the charge.
Among other things, We stated that Barker
had declared, while delivering stump
speech in Chest Spring. Borough in this
County. that he vas an AbolitiCuist from
the crown of his heal to the solrs Of his
feet, and gave Daniel Litzinger Esq. as our
authority. Nr. Barker and his enthusiastic
partisaus in Ebcusburg. mot tLc publication
Of this important fact. with the assertion
that we had Jelied Mr. Litzinger, and that
lie would rot back up our statement. II
order to put tie matter to rest. sc publish
the following letter from Mr., L;tznger, It
Is brief and to the point. Read it. 1t

well attempt to pierce the hide OF an oio
Rhinoceros Ito which animal he bears
strong resemblance. both physically and
mentality with a rifle ball, as TO make him
feel his own baseneSs by pointing out the
errors of his political career. lie is either
too ignorant, TO stupid or too egotistical, to
know when he has by his course as 4 would
be politician, rendered himself an object for
scorn to point her slow unmoving finger
at.
With regard to Brother Barker, we deem
1T only necessary for the present to keep a
ew facts before the people, the truth Of
which he dare notboldly and manfully
deny. They are as follows:
1st.-He is in favor of emancipating the
slaves in the Southern States, and raising the
negroes in every part of the Union. to poll
tical and social equality with the white race.
2d.-He has conveyed niggers through
this county by the underground Rail Road.
3d.-He was an Abolitionist while resi-
dent of the State of Maine.
4th.-He declared while delivering a
stump speech in Chest Springs in this ooun
ty, that he was an Abol;tionist from the
crown Of his head to the soles of his feet.
5th.-He insisted on q certain occasion,
on bringing 4 Buck Niger to the public
table of a hotel in Wilmore. in this county.
6th,-He contended with gentleman,
on certain occasion, il this town, that a
negro was as good as a white man.
7th.-He is so ignorant and illiterate, as
to be incapable of writing even the weak
ard scurrilIous editorials, which appear in
the AUeghanian.
There are few facts. We think all our
readers will agree, that they amount to in
fnitely more, than all the malicious abuse
that has yet been heaped on US by Brother
BarkeT's pet puppies, the deputy editors.
