FROM THE OHIO CRISIS.

In the days of old Noah in the Scriptures told,
Ail mankind were sinful and wickcdly bold;
1hfir Sihs ana traIsgrcssions came up before God,
Aud he swept them away by a terrible flood;
Except good old Noah his sons and their wives,
In an Ark built by Noah God spared their lives
When The waters asuuged and the ground became dry,
Noah planted Il vineyard the mountain hard-by;
hen the fruit became rpe he made wine ofthe same,
Aud drank of freely which caused him much shame,
For Ham, his young him drunk in his tent,
Aud as he was wicked to Japheth he went
Aud exposed his poor father to Japhcth and shem,
lnstcaI of conceang old Noah from them.
When Noah awOke aud knew what was done,
lie pronounced sad upon Ham, his young s0n
A servant Of servants FROM hence through all time,
You shall pc to your brothers for this your mean crime
the seed of this Ham have been slaves every where,
For his conduct to Noah he cannot repair;
lhcy steal one another and sell when they can.
And servant Of servants they are to White men.
When the Kings Of Great Britain were hard for cash.
They sent over ship loads of this cursed trash
SO now we have slavery here our shore,
For the shall exist until tjle is no more.
Wendell Phillips may preach and old Greedy may pray
But slaves will be slaves till the very last day.
When Bull became rich with the sale of his glayes,
He turns right around and calls us all knaves;
He sent over one Thompson to lecture us well,
And show that shareholders would all 90 to He'll
Then Thompson, and Tappan, an Eastern man,
Proclaimed Abolition all ovcrthe land;
Denounced all our rulers from Washington down,
And prayed that shareholders in Hell should be found
Ihey started paper to further their cause,
To break down this Union and all our State laws;
They said our Constitution, which loYed well,
Is acovenant with Death and firm league with He'll
Then old Gcrritt smith, Abby Kelley and Stone
J Assembled the stump-made their huresy known,
Denounced our good Bible and old AbaAlp.
| Because he held slaves and believed in lam.
They cursed all the preachers by day and by night,
| And every one else who thought slavery right
They encouraged the slaves in the South to rebel,
| 1okill oil their masters and send them to He'll.
Such lectures and preaching all over The North,
Made Southern siaYe .holders all very wroth;
And to save their own lives and their families, too,
| In moment of wrath from the Union Withdrew.
And now Wendell Phillips his obj ject has gained,
And no longer the Union Of States in maintained;
We are now ia the midst Of an unholy s.rife
Which is costing us millions Of treasure and life,
Brought on by cursed Abolition clan,
And the eaters Of fire in DiXies fair land.

Life is made up Of little things. He
who travels over continent must go step
by step He who writes book must do
it sentence by sentence. He who learns
a science must master it by fact, and
principle after principle. What is the
happiness of our life made up of Little
courtesies, little kindness, pleasant words,
genial smiles, friendly letter, good
wishes, and good deeds. One in million,
once in lifetime, may do an heroic action
but the little things that make up our life,
come every day and every hour. If we
make the little events of life beautiful and
good, then is the whole life Of beauty
and goodness.

VOLUME 26.
Shooting of MIR. W harton at
Washington,


We have been furnished from an authen.
tic source with the particulars of the kill
ing, on Monday, at the Old Capitol prison,
Washington city, of Jesse II. Whorton,
one Of the prisoners confined there. 1t
appears that about / l o'clock Mr.. Whar.
ton approached the window Of his room in
the second story, when the sentinel stand.
ing on the pavement below ordered him to
take his damned head in, or he would
shoot it off. Wharton, young man of
high spirit, rctorted by saying that mono
but a coward would threaten an unarmed
man and prisoner An alteration en-
sued. Wharton walked to the rear of the
room, but hearing the sentinel talking on
the pavement, again advanced to the win
dow, folded his arms and said "Shoot,
you damned coward, if you dare" The
sentinel took deliberate aim and fired,
the ball passing through the lungs of the
unfortunate young man. Mr.. Wood, the
Superintendent, kindly sent for Mr.. Whar-
tons wife, who is the daughter of Colonel
Whiting, of the Federal army and DR..
John o, Wharton, his father, who resides
at the Agricultural College, near Bladens-
burg, was called to his bedside in time to
see him expire. The facts, as above stated,
we understand, were derived from his fel.
low prisoners, one of whom is son of
Chancellor Walworth, of New York. Mr..
Wharton was formerly lieutenant in the
U. S. army, but was arrested four mon tbs
ago at Hagerstown. He was nephew of
the Hon. John Thompson Mason, and his
connections are of the highest respectable.
ity.-Aaryland Macs Sheet.
This Mr.. Wharton, like other political
prisoners, was arrested by arbitrary power
and thrown into dungeon, and in all
probability he was an innocent man. But
through the id monarchy at Washing
ton he lost his life. The Republican pa
pers have not word to say about this
outrage, Had he been niger, the event
would have caused the greatest excite
ment through the country, and Congress
doubtless would have at once taken up the
matter. To such pass we have at last
| come !--SeIinS Gyove Times.

"The idea of appropriating millions of
the peoples money, to buy niggers and
set them free He might just as well
roccomepd the purchase of muskrats. 1t

blow to the old, spawned abolition party,

Proverbs WORTH PRESERVING

servants without a character.
A ourfaced wife fills the tavern.
Contents the mother of good digestion.
When Pride and Poverty marry togeth.

Where hard work kills ten, idleness
kills hppdred men.
Folly and pride walk side by side.

Give US an intelligent and avcwed deter
mination and purpose that this war shall
not end until slevery is swept from the
surface of the continent.
The speech from which we take the
above would have attracted little notice
but for the special consideration with which
Mr.. Phillips was received, during his re-
cent visit at the seat of Government, by
the President, Vice President and other
functionaries to whose hands the destiny of
TIT Republic is, for veal and woe, Low
committed. After the extraordinary at
tentions with which Mr.. Lincoln signalized
the advent of Dir. Phillips at Washington,
it is not for US to say, when Mr.. Phillips
assumes to quote the language of the Pres.
ident, that he does not quote correctly;
and hence the part which the President
is made to act in the performance becomes
significant and of evil omen. In our ear
nest hopes for the best, we do not mean
to delude ourselves, or mislead others, and
it is not only our privilege, but our duty
as chroniclers of the times, to bring Il mat
ter of such serious import to the attention
of our readers. The people will pause
before giving entire credence to the spea.
ker at fremont Temple. They will be
slow to believe that the President has been
triAing with their confidence, imposing
upon their crodulity and playing fast and
loose with questions which involve not
merely the interests and happiness of thir-
| ty millions Of the present generation, but

the vindicacion of the capacity of man for
self-government, and the preservation oI
the Inheritance purchased by the valor Of
the men of the Revolution, and rendered
secure, as we hoped, by their wisdom
And yet, all this and more is true, or Mr.
Phillips report of conversations is unjust
and unreliable.
What did Mr.. Lincoln mean when he
said, in speaking of his Message of the 9th
of March, "there is more in it than peo-
pie see. Did you ever hear the story of
the Irishman who went down to the State
of Maine, in Maine Liquor Law times, and
asked for glass of soda water, adding,
couldn't you put drop of the crather in
it, unknown to myself?' So Ihave put a
drop of the crather in it, unknown to them
Why did not the "people see' it Was
it designed to be obscure-to mean more
than was expressed? Was it written blind
ly with purpose! How does the story of
the Irishman and the Maine Liquor Law
illustrate the Presidents position? What
does he mean when he says-"So 1 have
put large drop of the crather in it unbe-
known to" them? 1t is mild to say that
coarse stories and fash phrases ill-become
the Chief Magistrate of great and intel
ligent people. This, however, they could
have passed over, as they have done many
similar things before, less distinctly au-
thenticated. But what does he mean by
the 'crathcr," large drop of which was
put into the message, "unknown" the peo-
pie? Did the "crather" upon the Presi-
dents lips mean aboyition, as Mr.. Phil.
lips implies? If not, let it be disavowed.-
He who, occupying position of trust and
vast power, uses cant phrases to illustrate
his policy in public affairs, is bound to
define their meaning. If he meant to de.
clare that he was stealthily engaged in the
same mission which Mr.. Phillips publicly
avoWs, then who can feel security III his
directnes or his honor?
Again, did he say to leading Republi-
crn of New York--"why don't you hold
conventions often, and let me feel the
mind of the nation? You cannot create as
much anti,slavery feeling as we shall need
before we get through this war ?" What
use does he propose to make of more anti
slavery feeling before we get through this
war! If the Union is to be saved, we must
have frank, serious, manly, patriotic di-
rectness. At all events, in the midst oI
such fearful an accumulating pcrils, it is
no time for coarse stories and idle joking.
