(Frcru De Bows Review, August, 1860,
The political creed of the Republicans is
inidel, and usually advocated by inhdel
philosophers, The words OF the Declara-
zion of Independence, which they adopt.
Hrc--"We hold these truths to be selfovi-
dent: that all men are created eQnal that
they are endowed, Wy their Creator, with
certain uualienablc rights that among them
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
,ss. That to secure these rights govern
ments are instituted among men, deriving
thcif inst powers from the cSAssnt Of tho
governed; that whenever any form oS gov.
crumeut becomes destructive to these ends,
il is the right OF the people to alter or abo-
ish it, and ~ inshiuts nsw government,
laying its foundation on such principles.
and organizing its powers in such form, As

to the Chicago platform is rightful, because

The leaders of the Republican party fully

TIE MOVEMENT OF BRAee's ARMY.
-Parson Brownlow, writing to the
Philadelphia Press from Nashville,
Goth instant, gives the following as to
the purposes of the rebels in front OF
General Rosecrans:
The indications are. though not yery
strong, that the rebels will either at.
tack the grand army Of the Cumber-
land or seek to get in our rear. 1t is
certain that, three days ego. two d.
visions Of the rebel army moved for
ward several miles. A military gen.
tleman gives it as his opinion that
these divisions we're only advancing to
give room for re-enforcements coming
in. Be this as it may, the forti6ca-
tons Of Murfreesboro' and Nashville
are complete, and can't be TAKEN
The Army of the Cumberland is in
fne condition. and has supplies of all
kinds, here and at Murfreesboro' for
eight months to come, or until the first
of April next.

~While the national heart is
throbbing with anxiety to hear the
news of the final fall of the great rebel
stronghold on the Mississippi, it is
worthy as remembrance that the first
rebel shot was fred at Vicksburg,
early in January. 1861, three months
before the attack on Fort Sumpter.--
The shot was fred to bring to the A.
o. Tylor, by the Quitman Battery,
which vas ordered 10 Vicksburg by
Gen. Pettus. on the 18th of January.
"to hail and bring to all passing boats"
The A. o. Tylor was soon after trans
formed into a Union gunboat, and
avenged herself hundred times over
upon these Mississippi rebels.-Lou

GROWING OLD TOGETHER.

You have promised that through life
We shall journey heart-united,
Husband fond, and faithful wife,
And / trust the vow thus plighted:
Hand in hand, and side by side,
Through life's storms and sunny weather
We will our one fortune bide,
And at last grow old together.
What if Times unsparihg wing
OF some pleasures has bereft us7
Let us not by murmuring
Lose the many that are left Us.
What though youth and bloom depart,
Swift as birds of lightest featherf
Why repine with feeble heart?
Shall we not grow old tegetherf
Few, indeed, have been our years,
Yet enough our hearts to bind, love;
And to show how many tears
In life's brightest cup we find, loveI
Since, in our emitted youth,
Wetwain sported on the heather,
Dearestl it is meet, in truth,
That we should grow old together.

This Song viii not be likely to please
your Secession neighbors, if you are so un-
fortunate as to have any, but as sarcasm is
often more effective than argument, it may
help to shut their mouths. At all events, il
is genuine and earnest gush Of patriotic
feeling, and the music is bright and sparkling.
A novel effect is produced in the Chorus,
"where the laugh comes in:"-
Said Beauregard to Lee and JEFF,
"These Yankee sons of thunder
Will scatter us from right to left,
Or cause rs to knock under
Unless we End some other way
OF meeting their advances;
We've made up faces now SO long,
They do not mind our glanees.
CHoRUs-Ha, hal ha, ha. ha, ha, ha, La !.
They do not-ha, ha, ha ,ha. ha!
They do net mind our glanees.7

20 DEAR" said Lee-"I eannet tell"
Quoth Beau-ffwe1l call them names, sir. :"
"That's good, said JEFF, you've hit it, Beau"
Cried Lee, "that's what's the matterr"
@We'n call them 'Abolitienists,
And then you'll see them scatter"
CHoRUs-Ha, ha! &c.
They rubbed their traitor hands in piee.
And issued stringent orders,
Signed by the polite Beauregard,
That heneeforth, through their borders,
The only word that should be used
To name the Yankee soldier,
Should be IAN Abolitionist,n
And then they strutted bolder.
CRoRrs-Ha, ha. De.
They really thought that calling names
Had strengthened their position;
When all their sneaking ours up North,
Ran yelping Abolition
But soon we made the traitors know,
Twas something else tie matter;
The more they Abolition howled,
The more we didn't scatter.
CHoRus-Ha, hal &e.
We take the name you give us, Beau,
We mean to make it true, sir;
Wen first abolish Slay'ry's power,
And then abolish you, sir!
You thought we'd guard your niggers, Jeff.
And keep them raising corn, sir,
To feed the traitor hordes you lead
Wen do it-in ahorn, sir.
CHoRus-Ha, ha. DE.
Well free your blacks, and fight your whites.
And dig for traitors graves, sir,
Until there's not in all the land,
A traitor or a slave, sir.
