AN FRESHMAN UPON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
The Oregon Seminal has long letter from an
OF the so-called Democracy towards Irishmen as
follows:
Three times in the last thirty years has this
party committed treason against their Irish fellow
citizens, by whose aid alone they were hoisted
into power, and all those acts in the same city
Charleston, South Carolina. First, in 1882, when
they nullned the laws of Congress, by which
American industry and manufacturing skill would
be developed, and q renumerative labor market
opened to the Irish race f; next, in 1860, when
they rent asunder the great Democratic Conven-
third of the whole number did, in the city of
Richmond, place in nomination John G.. Breck-
inrige, of Kentucky, and Joseph Lane of Oregon,
practically nullifying the time-honored doctrine
Of the party, that the majority shall govern"

To gather flowers in heaven.

Where sister sick did lie,
And gently famed the little cheek,

The Autumn wind blew free
The angel moved his sivery wing,
And whispered" Come with me-"
We gathered round her dying bed,
With hearts to weep and pray!
And bitter were the tears we shed
When darling went away.
No scalding tears had she TO weep
No sins to be forgiven
But closed her little eyes in sleep
To open them in Heaven.
We laid her in the earth's green breast
Down by the village green,
Where gently waves the dewy grass,
And Summer flowers are seen.
And often wher dear mother goes
To get her things to use,
