.tae From the CRISIS
A RUMPUS IN TOPHET.

Come, gentle muse, and sing strain,
Twill echo back the sound again
On scenes that pass'd we now must dwell
When old John Brown arrived in He'll,
When Pluto heard old Brown was hung
Old Tophet with hozannas rung;
For we'll they knew the lying thief,
Would make for them an honored chief.
Brown to receive they now prepare,
All eager in the JOY to share:
Old Satan from his throne came down
And left his seat for old John Brown.
Not long, indeed, for him they wait,
For soon he Numbered at the gate.
''Come in" says Pluto, "Quickly com e
You're welcome to your fiery home"
Three cheers roll'd forth in accents brie
To hail the Abolition chief
Old john chim'd in, and thanked tn.
Fates-
He safely passed the pearly gates.
While Arnold held him by the hand,
Old Satan took the Speakers stand
Silence" cried he, SHOW all sit down,
And hear me welcome brother Brown"
you're welcome, John, to your reward,
You've cheated Riddle and the Lord
Though pearly gates wide open flew,
They did not catch my servant true.
AS oft you've murdered, lied and stole,
1t did rejoice my burning soul;
You've run your length in earth's career,
And we are pleased to see you here.
You'll take your scat at my left hand,
Why do this you'll understand;
Be not surprised, when ] tell you,
Old Abraham is coming too.
Then on my right, that vacant chair,
Long since for him did prepare
And sooL | know that he will come
Ills earthly race is almost run.
John at my left. Abe at my right,
Well give the hcavenlyhosts fight;
A triune group we then shall be,
Yea, three in one and one in three.
\ Abe's Cabinet, tbs very true,
VIII soon knock here as loud as you
In short, the nigerizing clan,
Are travelling here unto a man.
/ shall protest, most long and loud,
'Gainst taking in,the motley crowd
For we'll [ know they d me dethrone,
And swear that Tophet was their own.
Let Sumner, Stevens and their hest,
When they OH earth give up the ghost
Unto q lower hell appear;
We have no room for them up here.
The Clergy, too I much do fear,
Attractions laws will draw them here
Their earthly teachings-though | t:ll
Are doctrines long since teached in hell
They, too, must find lower home,
For hither sure they shall not come
We are crowded now in every spot,
Save here and there vacant lot.
&
These I've reserved through all our fights
| For those who have pre-emption rights;
That corner lots for Backbone Tod,
A renegade accursed of God.
The traitor here from his own place
Can view the scenes at Fortress Chase
Laugh at the woes of. his old friends,
| Till his cursed life in horror ends.
| There's other traitors I could tell,
| Th " are too mean to come to hell
So let each 60 and hunt his hole,
For green backs here won't pay their toll
And now; Old John on earth oppress'
You arc with US a welcome guest;
On earth you played your part full we'll
So now with US forever DWELL
P. GRIMES.

cordingly We moved, entered the town abont

CONGRESS.

This body expired on the 4th inst.-the
worst legislative assembly, hardly except
ing the bloody assembly of France in the
time of he f.aHtic revolution; of modern
times. Truculent and furious. our Con-
gress, nevertheless, displayed the most
humiliatiDg obsequiousuess and subservien-
cy to the Usurper and Tyrant called the
President of the United States; but who,
though burlesque upon the dignity of
the Office, controlling the purse and the
sword and the patronage of the governments,
commands the obedience, even when he fails
to enjoy the respect, of servile supporters
Offices, j Jobs, Contracts, limitless in number
and amount, give him an ascendancy over
Congress which the manliness of republican
spirit bushes to contemplate. ~. ,..,.f y.
This servile Congress. thank God, b as ex-
PRED. What the next will be, remains to
be developed. We believe, at least we hope,
it will prove better representative of our
free institutions than its predecessor; and
there is at all events this much of consola-
ton, whatever may betide, that it cannot
possibly prove worse. .... ....-f
When the elections of last fall terminated
in such signal triumphs of the Democracy
of the North we foresaw that the Adolf
tionists of Congress would make the most of
their power in the brief space which remain
ed of their expiring term. The result has
vindicated our foresight. "a
They have passed the Conscription Act
the Act to indemnify Lincoln and his under
lings for palpable and admitted violations
of the Constitution and Laws against the
rights and liberties Of freemen-the Act
granting authority to the President to issue
letters of marque and reprisal-the Act in
cooperating great national system of bank
ing machinery besides many other acts
dictated by the dispenser of patronage, of
the most monstrous character. Indeed, such
was the servility of Congress, that not an
Executive measure failed, we believe, but
the bills to bride Missouri and Maryland to
emancipates their slaves, and they were de-
feated only by the superior strategy and tact
of the opponents. And in keeping with all
these monstrosities. the appropriation bills
amounted to about 81 .OOo, 600. oOo-one thou,
sand million dollars! er.' is ~ 'E.s
Thank God, that Congress is dead. Its
successor may and we believe will be a
better one and cannot by any amount of de-
pravity be more degener ate. d s15 o-

TheaConscription Act.

We publish this Internal act in full on
our first page this week. We call it iRfer-
max to indulge any propensity for strong
or harsh words; but 10 correctly characterize
the enactment itself. 1t violates the con-
stitHtion in many respects and sets at
qpaght all considerations of decency aud
sxpedieney. 1t places the entire militia OF
an the States under the complete control
Of the President, without the Intervention
Of State, authority, in fat violation of the
provisions of the Constitution. It COM
pIetely ignores State Rights. or, rather it
coolIy sets them aside. It makes the Fed
eral government consolidate instead Of
union Of States. It makes the Presidents
-lor the officer or thing called President
to all intents and purposes, Military Die
tatorS armed with the physical force of the
country; and lays down at his feet the Con-
stitution and the rights and liberties of the
people. 1t subjects private citiz ems to trial
and punishment by drum-hesd court mar
tial, for offences cognizable only In civil
courts Blacks and Whites alike are con-
seripted. But we feel too much humilia-
ton in analysing the infamous bill, to dis
sect it further; and excuse ourselves the
more readily from pursuing the disgusting
task, because we copy the mo1strosity it
self ia full. We are proud to say that ev-
cry Representative from Kentucky, except
one Casey, voted against this abominable
enactment.
