Has the knell of this Union been sounded, and must itgo down in a stream of blood, and in a multitude of human suffering ? The Union of which we have spoken in such terms of laudation-has its virtues, its spirit it's spleador, forever fed Is it now dead carcass. sinking in our nostrils? Icannot believe it. I believe there is glorious future for our country, and: :hat its star is not yet set Our aag has been insulted, torn down, ard trailed ia the dust. But . million hearts have rallied to it's support, and a million swords have leaped from their scabbards, resolved to make it their winding-sheet, ere it shall trail in dishonor in the dust. The bones of our young men lie bleaching on the. Southern fields, and the soil has drank freel. of their life blood. Tom Seymour has no sympathy for them. I have heard prominent copper head say, and that repeatedly, that he hoped that not one of the soldiers would return home until they came feet foremost. sza 4z5 } Young Men! vote for William A.

 trust there is pure patriotism enough lief, among us, to administer stern rebuke to the ! treason which some of the Democratic party i would urge upon our State.

 not mere party question that will matter nothing twenty years hsnce but the life of

A Rochester gentleman who recently made a tour of the eil region of Pennsylvania, states that many of the wells which were noted last year for the flow of oil are now dry, or yield only to the pump. He adds, as his deliberate conviction, that the time is not very distant when oil will cease to be drawn from the earth by any. rrocess-that the supply will be ex. hausted. He thinks that the decline in pro duction will be so rapid in the next three months, that a panic Wjll be the result, and that fever foil speculation will break out beside which the late movement in that article will appear insignificant The examination made by scientific men into the subject ofoil deposits, have been anything but satisfactory. except that oil flows in certain places at certain times, and then it don't.

FROM TIE HARTFORD CeURAST. My Oxalis, or Bit of Green. IL standeth on the window-sill. s In such tiny pot of earth,
 You'd scarce believe there was enough & s7 To give little bulb its birth. The fragile leaves often count,
 And never find above score; Yet blossoms bright ope every day, 2 AHd buds come peeping more. 's But when tine sun witdraws its beams, And night comes creeping o'er the sky, Each leaf is quickly folded up,
 And every fow'ret shuts it's eye. The frosty air hath touched it oft-- . Sometimes forgotten in the night And the keen, bitter northern blast, Have frozen plant and earth alike: Yet, when one warm and genial ray Comes gleaming through the the win
 dow-pane,
 The velvet, heart shaped leaves unclasp, And frcshen to new life again. It never seems to doubt or dread
 Adapts itself-as we'll content ..s To bloom or freeze, as God thinks best And thus it's little life is spent. Oh! heart long chilled and suffering long > May be by friends, may be by foes Think, as nay flower, 'tis nou but night, Fold up thy heart in sweet repose. a Think that the morn will surely dawn,
 Revealing new and glorious things, The Sun of Righteousness will rise,
 With light and " healing in His wings" Endure and tru,t-aalure and trust;
 Look upward watching for the light; g Look up with faith and hope and love,
 Thy sun is Christ, the Infinite. |, s- ... .R-y .-ze BITTERNESS. H0IcoHriHe, Ct. . .~us

&fE ,
 Your annual meeting for the choice of State Officers and Representives draws near. Since the 4,h of July, l776, the nations birth day, nc point in our history has. been of so ina n,ensc importance. Unparalleled solemnity gathers around the ballot box: A crisis be fore you, big with conse quences for veal or woe, 10 yourselves, your children, and your childreu's children, has now come. . The alter native distinctly presented to tue patriotism, the reason, the conscience of every man who casts his vote is LIBERTY AND LIFE-or SLA- VERY AND DEATH TO THE REPUBLIC. For tive years, armed rebellion has consistently sought its overthrow, and still aims the parricidal dagger at its hear. Who gave you your good ly heritage of civil and religious privileges, your schools, your Christian Churches. your hallowcd sanctuaries, your happy homes, your domestic and public peace aud prosperity these eighty six years past? Who gave their lives and fortunes, ard sancti6ed our free soil with their blood, to transmit this inheritance. this government, this Cnisn of States, its Cen stitution and laws, to the latest posterity?
 Who gave us the fathers of the Republic, our Washington and his compatriots their skill, their valur, their indomi:abe patience and perseverance, and heard their prayers, and crowned their arms with yictory? It was God, the founder and preserver of the nation. Who dare forget this, as he goes to the ballot-box? 1? The All seeing Eye is upon him, and his mo. tives, aad a responsibility is resting on him, most momsntous for all time. a7H
 Never was humble, earnest prayer to God, at our elections, for His presence, guidance and pleasing, that only true. loyal, wise, and, good men may fill public offices, than there is in this day of national peril.
 The eyes of the civilized world are upon us, to see whether we will acquit ourselves as wor- thy sous of our ancestors, true to the flag they :unfurled,.true to their principles, true to our selves as guardians and defenders of the sacred legacy entrusted to our hands. Let all ty- rants and traitors see, that our country's honor and integrity NC will sustain, at any and every cost, with unshaksn faith in that God. whose Throne has no fellowship with iniquity. v saa E6 -oassI sd4 ls&3 soiszsasa hasr sssEx.i
