We are not at all prepared to accept the
very bitter spirit lately manifested in the SEN
ate against West Point as a just exponent of
the feelings of the people; but it is undenia-
bic that the institution is no longer the popu-
lar favorite it was. The senate minority did
wrong in seeking to make an end of the insti-
tuition by Withholding the appropriation nee
essary to its life; and yet it is perfectly true
that the rebellion has brought out great evils
and deficiencies in its management, never ap-
preciated before. The aim should be not to
destroy but to correct
The primary error has been in not making
native capacity the great criterion in deter
mining the admissions into the institution.
Generally this is the last consideration which
influences the congressman who has the NOM
mating power. We may say that in nine
cases out of ten, the disposition to serve some
personal or political friend controls the entire
matter. 1t is mere chance if the boy actu-
ally selected from the dozen applicants has
any natural gifts whatever. This faithless
style of performing grave public duty, Of
necessity, fills West Point mainly with me Ill
ocrity, when in fact it ought to be the training
place OF the very brightest young men in the
land.
1t has been too generally taken for granted
that professional education at West Point
mares a commander. 1t does no such thing
all 1t can do is to facilitate and improve. The
commander Is born, or, with all his science,
he Is no commander at all. Nature must give
her certificate first; and if she has withheld
1t, no commission that West Point can au-
thorize is worth the parchment it is written
on. Nobody doubts that West Point, with its
severe studies, is well able to turn out
methodica, minute pains-taking exact men.

FATHERS REFLECTIONS ON THE DEATH OF 4
ONLY SON.
Fair and lovely, thou vert taken,
All my fondest hopes have fled.
Yes, my home. all dark, forsaken,
Tells me oft that thou art dead.
Oft 1 stop and strangely listen
For those tones 1 used to hear,
Stand and gaze for eyes to glisten
As thy fathers steps draw near.
All! TO voice comes back to greet me,
No bright eyes to smile me home,
No quick steps to run and meet me,
With rejoicing, when l come.
Hush'd is that sweet voice forever!
Can hear its tones NO more!

The word of the Lord by night
TO the watching pilgrims came,
AS they sat by the seaside,
And filled their hearts with flame.
God said, am tired of kings,
] suffer them no more;
UptO my ear the morning brings
The outrage of the poor.
Think We l made this ball
A field of havoc and war,
Where tyrants great and tyTants small
Might harry the weak and poor.
MY angel, his name is Freedom,
Choose him to be your king;
He shall cut pathways east and west,
And fendyou with his wing.

When he has wrought his best.

Call in the wretch and slave:
None shall rule but the humble,
And none but Toll shall have,
Twill have never a noble,
No lineage counted great;
Fishers and choppers and plowmen
Shall constitute state.
Go, cut down trees in the forest,
And trim the straightest boughs,
Cut down trees in the crest,
And build ME n wooden house.
Call the people together,
The Young men and the sires.
The digger in the harvest field,
Hireling, and him that hires.
And here in pine state house,
They shall choose men to rule
In every needlul faculty,
In church, and state, and school.
Lo, nowi if these poor men
Can govern the land and sea,
And make just laws below the sun,
As planets faithful be.
And ye shall succor men;
Ills nobencss to serve;
Help them who cannot help again;
Beware from right to swerve.
Ibreak your bonds and masterships,
And l unchain the slave,
Free be his heart and hand henceforth
Aswind and wandering wave.
cause from every creature
His proper good to flow:
SO much as he is and dOeth,
SO much he shall bestow.
But, laying his hands on another
To coin his labor and sweat,
He goes in pawn TO his victim
For eternal years in debt.
Pay ransom TO the owner,
And fill The bag TO the brim,
Who is the owner? The slave is owner,
And ever was. Pay him.

And honor 0 South! for his shame
Nevada! coin thy golden crags
With Freedoms image and name.
Up! and the dusky race
That sat in darkness long
BE swift their feet as antelopes,
And as behemoth strong.
Come, East, and West, and North,
BY races, as snow flakes,
And carry my purpose forth,
Which neither halts nor shakes.
My will fulfilled shall be,
For, in daylight or i'll dark,
My thunderbolt has eyes to see
His way home to the mark.

The world moves" The message of Gov
Cannon, ofDelaware, takes strong ground in fa-
vorof emancipation. His excellency argues the
question at length; considers it fromth stand
point both Of humanity and self-interest; and
comes to the conclusion that slavery is become
an element of weakness and danger, and that
measures looking TO lis extinction should be
promptly taken. Wequote the concluding par
agraphs of his Message:
II only offer to each STAKEHOLDER for solution
the question whether, economically considered
it is not cheaper 20 hire labor than to support
his family Of slaves, subject to the risk Of sick
ness and other casualties and liabilities Incl
dent to ownership. srH os hi4s M ~, VI B.,
@Most Of the slave owners in this State are
land owners also oand il it be true that the abro-
cation of the institution will increase the. mate
rial prosperity of the State, | submit to him
whether the value of his land may not be augu-
mented to an extent much greater than the price
Of his slaves. ts $3.50 F
@1 will not dwell upon the interest of the mas
ter as affected by the fugitive nature of the
property. Against destruction by fire, insu-
rance companies prOVide-against the straying
ofcattle, good fences are a sufficient security;
but there is no insurance or safeguard against
the loss Of slave determined to assert his right
"There are but two modes by which the ex-
tinction of slavery can be accomplished. BY
direct emancipation or by the enactment of law
operative on after-born issue, leaving the pres
ent property of the master disaffected. 7rsG
@The former would, of course, be upon COM
pensation--the latter depriying him Of no right,
no ocompensation would be proper. 9
'Compensation, if rendered, must probably
come from the National. Government. There is
no likelihood that the State will tender it. though
believe that if she were to pay the home valu-
alton of every slave within her limits the sum
expended would be more than reimbursed by
the increased value Of the land. ~ -
~Should Congress concur in the recommenda-
tion of the executive, and express a. willingness
to tender this State fair remuneration, do not
hesitate, as a beneficial measure to advise its
acceptance; but as the measure OF my own
choice, ! would prefer the enactment of law,
in its operation, declaring the free
dom Of the future issue Of slaves.h '7ia
