New Work.
Extract from John Van Burens speech on Noyem.
Der 20, at late Democratic meeting.l
This city stands now with all its intelli.
gence, enterprize activity, and wealth, beside
the Union, in opposition to Abolition, and
with our solidity, force and power that terri
fies these people who are opposed to us, that
puts an end to this idea of arbitrary arrests
and teaches the Government that their real
danger lies in the act OF over-stepping the
laws and the Constitution. Solong as the Off.
cials go in strict conformity to the laws, they
may be allowed to liDger out sickly existence
to the close of their official term, but the mo-
ment they depart from wellascertained prin-
ciples OF right, they resolve society into its
original elements, and they give notice to as
who have physical force, not only that ply
sicial force rests with the governed, but that
resistance to tyrants is obedience to God
Great applause. The real security of Mr..
Lincoln and his Cabinet and the men who
are now administering the Government of this
country, lies in their faithful obedience to the
Constitution. Good The moment they
depart one line from it, they resolve society
into its original elements and make it a aues-
tion of physical force, and in this community
and in New Jersey, with its $4,000 majority
for the Democratic ticket and in portions of
New York State if they transcend in one
line the letter Of the written Constitution. |

any man connected with the Government who
should set his foot on our territory. TAp-

They have talked of arrestng prominent
men on our side. They have spoken at times
of arresting me. Laughter. Not to me;
they would not tell such nonsense TO me. but
to sick relatives, women and children. IRE.

not dare arrest me in New York city The
physical force was too strong. They thought

they did not do it there went to Washington.

and applause And as my business there
has been subject of considerable conversa-
tion now state that had no business on
earth there except to see whether they wanted
to arrest me; but they did not dare to so long
as kept inside the Constitution and the laws;
for though very moderate lawyer, | know
the law enough not to violate it, while knew
perfectly well that they did not dare arrest me
as they had arrested women. | know this,
that II any man connected with the illegal
arrests that have been made in New York

OVER, THE RIVER.
BY HATTIE GERMAN.

Over the river--the deep, dark river,
Came q messenger grim,
And sum moned our Alice--our sentlo Alice,
TO hasten and 60 with him :;
On her breast we folded her snowy hands,
And robed her in spot]ess white
And he bore her over the turbid stream,
To the far of re aim Of light. ::.-.
Oh there's a beautiful, beautiful realm,
Beyond that flowing river,
Where streams Of perpetual blissfulncss
Flow on, and forever!
And Aice-our darling Alice has gone,
TO that blessed blessed land,
Whila on the verge of the f;thomless stream.
With tear blinded eyes VIC, stand -
Oh: yes, we weep, though we know she is free'
From pains and sorrows of earth
We weep for the sweet loved voice that wen
. No moro at our family hearth!
We all must cross over the mystic river
Before we enter the land
Where the fragrant flowers of Joy and love
In tadelexs beauty expand
By-and-by voice will call, and hand
Will bcckon us DER the river,
In the unseen world, where parlings and tear
Are known 60 M ore forever!
All, a happy land is the realm of light.
And Alice has gone before,
10 welcome us after little while,
Onits ever tranquil shore !
