Talk to NJ, love, tonight;

Sing ne some quaint old ballad,
OF love, and Of loves despair,

And comb out my braided hair.
Never mind me il l weep, Allie,

You see the shadows on tho wall

Nor when they will depart;
But know they gather in, Allie,
And darken all my heart.
You hear the storm wind, Allie,
Twirl through the darkling night;
Just think how the forest branches
Against it toss and fight,
They know not Why they are troubled,
Tossing in wild unrest,
And it's something like the forest, Allie,
This feeling in my breast.
There's the surging and the wailine,
Like the sound Of wordless woe,
As the tempest falls and fteshens,
Now high, now wild, now low.
But, sing some quaint old ballad,
Of love, and of loves despair,
As sit here at your feet. Allie,
And comb out my braided hair.

LETTER FROM MRS. SWISSHELAI.
She Gives Her Own Views About the Adj
m1n1strattOn, md Defends Mrs. Prcsi-
dent Lincoln.

WASHINGTON, March l9, 1868.
To the Editor Of the Chicago Erening Journal:
No friend Of the Administration can shut
his eyes TO the fact that it has not answer
ed the expectations Of the public TO my
mind, President Lincoln lost sight of the
fundamental princi pie OF our Government,
i. e., the right of tho majority to rule,
when he appointed the first Democrat to
Office. The people, by legal, constitu-
tional majority, voted the Government in
to the hands Of Rcpubllcans-voted for a
ckangc-voted that Republican men and
Republican measures should rule for four
years. "A portion Of the Democratic par
ty, and by tar the larger portion, rebelled
against this legal constitutional decree,
and in so doing struck blow which they
intended to be death blow at the vitals
Of republican institutions. They under
took to enforce their rebellion by armed
resistance; and in this emergency Presi-
dent Lincoln, instead of standing by this
imperiled principle, and holding, for veal
or woe, the reins which had been placed
in his hands by the people, handed one
balt OF them over to the very party which
the people had voted out and the mujority
Of which was in open rebellion.
That be did so from the feeling that
even loyal Democrats required consider
alton for their fidelity to the Government,
and from The best and most magnanimous
of motives, is certain. That every Gov
ernor Of the loyal States did likewise, and
that most of them preceded him iu this
work, is equally certain but the plan of
conciliasing foes at the cost of friends was
merely mistaken policy, while the giving
Office to party voted out by the people
was forsaking of the first principle of our
Government; and not until the Admins
tration comes up to the constitutional
ground of holding and welding the pow
er voted into its hands, will the full conf
dence Of the people be restored. This d.
viding the Government by its friends has
been the main cause of weakness.
Another cause Of distrust has been the
unpopularity Of the Lady of the. White
House. The impression has been almost
universal that she is and has been in SYM
pathy with the rebels that she betrayed
the secrets Of Cabinet meetings to secession
agents; that she selected her friends
amongst persons, of tlippant character, &c.,
and so on to the end Of chapter which
made her out anything but suitable per-
son for the high position she occupies.
I came to Washington so strongly pref
udiced against her that I quite made up
my mind not to see her, for fear should
be tempted to write something to increase
the feeling agaiast her, and SO lessen the
confidence Of the people in the Adninis-
tration. l let four public receptions pass
without calling, and was with difficulty per-
suaded to go to the Levee on the End inst.

EDITOR ST.. CLOUD DEMocRAr.-Hav-
ing noticed in the DEMOCRAT, of the 5th
inst, remarkable epistolary gem, from
your correspondent "P," of Sauk Centre.
whose "rich, raro and racy" effort elicitsd
a most flattering encomium from you in
an editorial, wherein you characterize it as
"model'' "both with regard to items Of
interest and liveliuess Of style )" and as
Co. H, Capt. McCoy's command, was
somewhat mixed up in the production, as
kind Of condiment, giving it that 'racy"
flavor which caused it to be "receiyed" BY
your readers "with so much favor" I
would fain crave small space in your pa.
per, by way Of reviewing that famous lit
erary production, though, in doing so,
beg to be understood as laying no claim
to that superior culture which causes your
correspondents letters to be "received
with so much favor"
Company H, Of the 9Th Reet., will
doubtless forgive your correspondent for
the ill natured comparison, instituted by
him, between it and Company B of the
same regiment, in consideration Of the
positive compliment expressed, in the
chaste and classic epithets---'River Des-
peradoes' and "City Pimps." Your cor
respondent is verify scholar. He must
have procured copy of the "vocabulum"
advertised in the Police Gazette. and made
himself acquainted with the language Of
tho "Clifaking Fraternity" as tie most
elegant terms float through his mind, in
all the mazy labyrinth Of mctaphorical
confusion.
The matter Of the compliment, applied
exclusively to Capt. McCoy's company, is
doubtless true of most other companies,
who are composed Unfortunately Of all
classes Of society, some young and incx-
perienced, just loosened from the moral
restraints of home, while others, We are
sorry to say, have neither youth nor mex
perieuce to plead in pal|iation Of their tur-
pitude, IN throwing off all the wholesome
restraints Of society. 1twould be strange,
indeed, if in such mixture OF antagonis-
tic elements, when stimulated by bad liq-
uor, some should not be found guilty Of
unbounded excesses. Even Capt. Taylor
will hardly claim chat his company is ex-
ceptional in this respect. If company B,
Of Cur regiment, is an exception to the
foregoing rule. we are most heartily re-
joiced at it, and we hope our company, as
we'll as the other companies Of our regi-
ment, will strive to emulate its example.
