SONG---EVELEE DARLING,
BY JAMES DONNELLY,

o! Eveleen, darling, the suns brightly shining,
The sweet, smiling spring time is coming once
more,
When nature, her gifts and choice treasures CON-
bning,
Will robe in soft garments the landscape all o'er
Bright streams so long bound, will be gushing all
round,
Leaping forth with delight to their home in the
sea,
Then come from your bower, my fair summer
flower,
Pure pearl of my hearts hope, and listen to me-
The rose-buds and blossoms, so gentle and tender,
When kissed by the sunlight, and bathed in soft
dew,
Will all be unveilng their beauty and spendor,
Tho none of them can look as charming as you,
For the lily that wakes, by the first blush that
breaks,
Ger the fair face of morn, is less lovely to see;
Then come from your bower, my mild blooming
flower,
Pure pearl of my hearts hope and listen to me.
Wild flowers will be springing, and birds will be
singing,
With harmonious glee as they float on the wing,
All blending their strains Ger the rose c.tinted
plains,
And repeating their fond joyous welcome to
spring.
Among scenes of delight, that enrapture the
sight,
So bissful and bright, o. 'twerc glorious to
Then come from yonr bower, my angelic flower,
Pure pearl of my hearts hope, and listen to me
will sing you sweet songs Of the towering noun
tains,
That loom up so grandIy in Erin the Green,
l will watt you in thought by the clear silver
fountains.
That springs from the heart of our sorro,oin Q
queen.
will show you around, by the rath and the
mound,
By the Erne, the Mere, Lify, Shannon and Lee;
Then come from your bower, my fair summer
flower,
Pure pearl of my hearts hope, and smile upon

A Converted Abolitlonist.

A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from Belize Honduras, after giving
an account of bloody riot that had recent
" occurred there between the black soldiers
of the garrison and the white citizens of the
town, gives his opinion of niggers generally:
Now, it may he worth while to make
few remarks on this subject, as you at the
North, in the United States, are doing SO
much for The blacks or slaves of the South
These soldiers are the free descendants of
former slaves-creoles of the Windward Is
lands-men whose parents were slaves, and
many of them were slaves themselves. Most
of them had been taught to read and write.
and have had the fostering care of the
British Government since she paid for and
emancpated them. Being too indoent to
work, they have enlisted in her Majestys
First West India Regiment, where they lead
idle lives, and | think that write truth when
| say worse set Of men, as a body, cam
not be found on the globe. From 1861 to
this time the United States has been fighting
to release from slavery four millions of
slaves. Millions Of treasure, thousands Of
valuable lives and oceans of blood have been
contributed for this purpose; and what will
be the final result9 You, |, Beecher, Phh
lips, Smith, and others, will not live to see
it. But before the next century expires the
white man will be at war again. That war
will be to reclaim the British West India
Islands from the descendants of the black
man, who will then have become the sole
occupiers Of these Islands, perhaps OF your
Southern States also, and have descended to
the state of cannibalism--b become bad neigh
bors in every sense Of the word. | came to
this country many years since an uncondi
tionaI abolitonst fully convinced that sla'
very was wrong, that all men ought to be
free, black or white, and after twenty years
experience, write the above in sorrow, and
with extreme regret. Still it is my firm,
honest conviction and have not doubt
it will become verified
We espend in this town from So 900 to S1O,-
900 annually to educate the blacks, and the
more they are taught the worse they become.
The very children are vulgar, sensual and
depraved, and it is rare thing to find vir-
tuous girl at twelve years of age. Our
best men give their time and attention to
the education Of these people. We have train
ed colportuer teachers from England to in
struct them and more friendly, kind, and
solctous care cannot be bestowed on and
for our black and colored children; and still
it is all, or nearly all, money lest and labor
thrown away.

Clte Campaign III Ohio,
POLITICAL TRAITOR UNMASEED.
Eallandigham's Record Reviewed.
SPEECH BY HON. JOHN SHERMAN.

At Union meeting held at Delaware
Ohio, on Tuesday evening, July %, Hon.
John Sherman made a timely and able
speech, which we find published in full in
the Cincinnati gazette. 1t was devoted
principally to Nallandigham, and we pub
lish the most important portions of it.
After mentioning the facts of Valanlig-
hams arrest, trial, sentence and expulsion
beyond the lines of our armies; his noni-
nation for Governor by the Democratic
party, and the power he would have over
our State troops if elected, he stated his
surprise that party could be found to make
such nomination. Yet he said they had a
right to make it; they had the right TO
nominate jeff Davis, Breckenridge, or any
other rebel; or they might have initiated a
practice common in Europe, and selected a
Greek or other prince. Laughter. The
Constitution Of the State does not limit
even to a citizen Of the State the right to
hold the Office of Governor. Lot Us, then,
exercise our right to examine and discuss
the reasons for this extraordinary nomina-
tion. 70 show the justice of Vallandig-
hams arrest and punishment the speaker
proceeded to examine
THE LAW IN THE CASE.
1t is said that Mr.. Vallandigham has been
! illegally convicted, and therefore we must
make him Governor. The familiar provis-
IONS Of the Constitution of the United
States, protecting the personal liberty of
the citizen by trial by jury, are quoted,
With the same application no rebel soldier
could be shot without trial by jury no de-
sorter could be arrested without a hearing
before Judge; no spy could be hung eX-
cept upon conviction by petit jury. War
has It's laws as well as peace. They arc en-
tirely consistent with, yet independent OF
each other. Each has its Offices, its tribu-
nails, and its form of trial. The civil laws
prescribe civil oifenses and the mode OF
punishment; but these laws do not apply
to military ofienses committed in the time
of war; nor is it possible to define the lat,
ter class of offenses with the precision 0!
civil laws and tribunals. The general rule
may be stated, that any obstruction to the
military force in time of war, within the
lines of military operations, is an oitense to
be overcome aud punished by military loret
! or military tribunals, as according to the
usages of modern warfare. IN the eXecu-
ton of this rule in time of war, military
authority and military tribunals are not sue
st:.uted in tie place Of civil Jews and
courts.
This is tue LAW which al good citizens
ard courts are bound 70 recognize during

COOKS PORTABLE AND PLANTATION
ENAPORAT0RS,
That will make from fifty to one hundred and fifty
gallons Of syrup per day, and
CLARK'S CANE MILLS.

That these Mills and EvaporatOrs are the best
in use is clearly established by the fact that pref
crcncc is given them, wherever they are known,
and they have failed to take the First Premi-
um at every State fair where they have been cx-
hibiod in competition with others and Cooks
Evaporaor is the only one GU which sugar in any
quantity has ever been made. Mr. j. II. Smith,
OF Quincy, lllirois, writes that he made over five
tups Of sugar 90 ono of them last season. and that
his sugar, and the syrup made by c. d. Roberts,
Of jacksonville, took the First Premiums, at the
Springfield annual meeting Of the Agricultural
Board. The mills are Hedges Patent, with Clark S
Improvements, and the most perfect mill in the
United States; will run one-third lighter than any
other, and are constructed that il is impossible
TO break them.
Call and examine sample machines, or send for
pamphlet giving full descriptions.
In order to secure your Mills and Evaporators
in good season, hand in your orders early. Hun
dreds were disappointed last season by putting il
off too long. II will make no difference in the
time of payment, whether you order now or in
three or four months hence.

THE STAR OF LIBERTY.
BY Mr.. MAGINN.


Star of the brave whose beam hath shed
Such glory DER the quick and dead;
Thou radiant and adorcd deceit,
Which millions rushed to arms TO greet!
Wild meteor Of immortal birth,
Why rise in Heaven to set ON Earth?
Souls of slain heroes formed thy rays;
Eternity flashed through thy blaze
The music Of thy martial sphere
Was fame on high and honor here;
And the light broke on human eyes
Like volcano of the skies.
Like lava rolled thy stream of blood,
And swept down empires with its flood;
Earth rocked beneath thee to her base,
As thou didst tighten through all space;
And the shorn sun grew dim in air,
And set while thou vert dwelling there.
Before thee rose and with the grew
a rainbow of the lovclicst hue
or three bright colors, each divine,
And Git for that celestial sign;
For Freedoms hand had blended them,
Like tints in an immortal gem.
One tint WIS Of the smbcam's dyes;
One, the blue depth of seraphs eyes;
One, the pure spirits veil Of white
Had roDed IN radiance oi its liEhtj
The three, 50 mingled, did besecm
The texture Of a heavenly dream.
Star Of the brave thy ray is pale,
Aud darkness must again prevail
But oh thou rainbow Of the free!
Our tears AMI blood must flow for thee
When thy bright promise fades away,
Our life is but a load Of clay.
