The Democratic Party.

Every day in the progress Of the war
proves more and more conclusive that the
mission of the democratic party is not end
ed, and that an abandonment of it would
be calamitous to the country. 1t Ia more
needed in time Ike these than in time
of peace. All the old elements of oppos>
itiOn to the constitution remain, changed
only to greater intensity and more deadly
yigor. Abolitionism urges lis heresies with
more desperate bolduess; secession has
abandoned argument and taken to arms.
How can the democracy desert the field
when their enemies remain there?
fit is true that the constitution IS upon
trial in this war, then it should be fought
by the party of the constitution, and made,
beyond 9ispu,e, their var. The issues
which are every dar growing upon the
country leaves 10 doubt OF this. Where
ever we gaze, we behold questions which
can only be settled, interests which can
only be protected, by the principles OF the
democracy. Their conservative Influence
is needed to check recklessness and extrav
agance in the expenditures for the mill
tary purposes, to eqnaliza taxation, to pre-,
vent The country from being flooded with
irredeemable paper, and to limit the rapid
y accumula,Ing national debt to the small
est amount consistent with the demands
of the crisis It is their duty, tco, TO curb
the senseless yindicIveness which would
make hatred OF the south, instead of well
considered policy, tie motive Of action to
the government. As they have faith IN
the constitution, they, and they alone, can
heartily believe Chat it is sufficient now and
forever for the necessities Of the country,
and that the Union under it can never be
destroyed, bat will be restored to meas
ureess years of peace and glory.
There can be no renewal Of friendship
between the North and the South, un!eas
urder the policy Of the democratic party.
If the Wild theories OF ,he abolitiohists pre-
vail there will not be a State south Of Ma
son and Dixon's line worthy Of place in
the Union. They viii be beggared be
vond the hope Of reclamation during cans
turies inhabited by millions of free he
groes, they will neither produce enough to
be profitable for the purposes oftrade, nor to
pay share Of the taxation, hencefortls
inevitable, for the support of the govern
ment. They will have no national value,
| aud will, therefore, in no respect compen~
safe, either morally OF physically, for the
blood aud treasure poured forth to cons
quer them. 1t seems monstrous that,
among he intelligent people, man should
entertain theories which if adapted by the
Government, would accomplish so disas>

NATHANIEL NILES, author of the Amer
ican Hero" was born in Braintree, Mass !,
in l742. He graduated at Princeton, in
1906: he became Presbyterian clergy
man and preached both at Torringford and
Norwich, Connecticut, daring the Revolu-
ton. and at the latter place he established
Wire mandatory. Not succeeding in
this enterprise he removed TO Fsirlee, YER
mont, and was appointed as one OF the
Judges of the Supreme Court in 1854, and
served in that capacity with some credit to
himself and the qualification of his friends
until 1888. He became prominent man
in West Fairlee, and was highly respected.
He died there, November, 1928, at The age
of eishty-six years. His grandfather, Sam
uel Niles, was a minister at Braintree,
Mass, and died there in 1862, aged 80.
| He wrote several valuable theological
works, and History Of the Indian Wars
1t has been supposed that Mr.. Niles
composed the music 10 which bis words
we're adapted; but the tune is English.
Robert Southey wrote lyric poem, in 1873,
adapted to this same tune, entitled "1he
Widow" 1t is as follows:
Cold was the night wind drifting fast the snow fell,
wide were the downs and shelteriess and naked,
| When poor wanderer struggled on her journey,
Weary and way-sore.
prear were the downs, more dreary her reflections,
| Cold was the night-wind colder her bosom
| She had no home the world was all before her,
| She had no shelter.
| Fast DER the heath a chariot rattle1 BY her.
| upity me feebly cried the lonely wandereri
Pity me- strangers, lest with cold aud hunger
| Here should perish.
nouce had friends, though now by all forsaseni
| Once had parents,-they are now in heaven
/ had a home once-I had once husband
| Pity me strangers!
Ib.s home ouee-I had once husband
Tam widow poor and broken hearted. /"
Loud blew the wind unheard was her complaining,
/ On drove the chariot.
/ Then ON the snow she laid her down to rest her;
1 She heard a horseman PITY me, " she groand out;
! Loud was the wind unheard was her complaining,
| On went the horsenan.
| Worn out With anguish, toll, aud cold, and hunger,
Down sank the wanderer sleep had seized her senses
| There did the traveller find her in the morning.
/ God had released her.

THE SLAVE M1NGOS POEM.
The following remarkable poem was sent
me from the south by a friend, who informs
me that the author of it was slave named
Mingo, a man of wonderful talents, and on
that account oppressed by his MASTER
While in the slave-prison, he pencilled this
poetic gem on one of the beams, where It wa:
afterwards found and copied. My friend
adds that Mingo did escape, at night, bur
was captured and destroyed by the blood
hounds. My friend promises 10 send Other
poems Of his, which, he says, are in posses
sion of Mingo's aged wife. c. w.

during his leistre hours, had created

Last August the rebels approached his
house through corn field. and fired at him
while he was eating his dinner. They shot
through the back door, he ran out of the
front door and gained the woods. He was
slightly wounded in his shoulder. Towards
midnight he came back. His wife lay dead

low is not very complimentary to Southern
gentlemen of :" the CLOTH" In late speech
at Cincinnati he said:
The worst men in the Southern con-
federacy are Methodist, Baptist, Presby-

drink and swear week days, and preach
Sundays. When they became secesh, they
bid farewell to honesty. truth and decency.
The confederacy originated in lying, steal

the common masses the lying, and fourteen
Senators from the cotton States the perjury

seats in the United States Senate, and max

meetings, sending dispatches to their re-
speciive States to pass ordinances of seces.

Among other instances illustrating the
spiri. prevailing among the southern clergy
Mr.. Bsownlow said that the pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in Knoxville
called a Union prayer meeting to pray thai
Burnside's fleet might sink and the block
ade be raised. The same minister had sait
that he would rather use a Bible printed
and bound in hell than one from the North

Southern men, except Judas Iscariot, wht
