POeIIc Lnaslce.

Wendell Phillips in late lecture, delivered
in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. said
The second time that stood here was nigh
three. years ago, when | spoke 70 you in relation
10 John Brown, then in a Virginia Jail. Three
years have rolled away How full of events.
How great the results of that rnans daring, ofthe
idea he pressed upon the conscience ofthe coun-
try. Do you know with what poetic justice
Providence treats that very town where he lay
in Jail when l spoke to you before? The very
man who went down from Philadelphia TO bring
his body back to his sad relatives-insulted ev-
cry mile of the road, his life threatened the bull
lets wbisling roung his head-that very man
for eight or ten months has been, as Brigadier
General, in command ofthe town of Charlestown
and Harpers Ferry. (Applause) BY order of
his superior officers, he had the satisfaction of
finding it his duty with his own right hand to
put the torch to that very hotel in which he had
been followed with insults and contunely as the
friend Of John Brown; and when his brigade,
under orders destroyed all the buildings in the
neighborhood, with reverential care he bade the
soldiers stop and spare that engine house that
once sheltered the old hero. (Applause.) l do
not know in history more perfect poetic round
ing than in that single local instance history
gives us in three short years. Hector Tyndale
the friend of the friends of John Brown-who
went there almost with his life in his right hand
commands-and his will law. His sword is
the guaranty Of peace and of property. BY his
order the town is a desert, with the single ex-
ception of that wall which John Browns pres
ence has made immortal. 81 ss .f.

The Right Dootrine.

Major Gen. Rousseau, of Kentucky, made a
speech yesterday at Lancaster, Pa, in the course
of which he said;
"My political creed is but minute long. /
am for the government of my fathers and the
friends Of that government and am against the
enemies of that government, aud all their friends
both North and South"
He called on the people that they be so unit
ed as not to cripple the efforts Of the soldiers in
the field,
"No matter what your political predictions
may be, unite To save the country, and after that
settle questions Of policy, Let not your differ
ences OF opinion weaken the arms Of the brave
men who are fighting that you may be free. In
the Army of the Cumberland, in which have
the honor Of commanding division officers and
men know only the cause Of their country; all
are, united in a common work; no dssensions or
iealouses weaken their force"
These are the words Of patriot soldier. All

Tic nen,ocra,ic Parry.

When,som months ago, leading Democrats
announced their purpose of reviving the DEM
Ocratic party, as a means of restoring the Union,
it must have been palpable TO every thoughtful
mind that their purpose was opposition to the
Federal Government and to the prosecution of
the war. 1t was palpable to us, and we said at
the time; for evidently the restoration of the
Democracy, on the Douglas platform, could not
have been meant, as it was againstthis platform
the South bolted at Charleston, and finally re-
belled. The restoration of the Breckinrdge
wing of the party was meant which would con-
cede all that teerebels ever asked. Hence the
denunciations of the general government and
the advocacy of States rights by the leading
Democratic orators and presses. Strange MS it
may seem, many whom we regarded good
Union men could see no danger in this Demo-
ic movement; but il is not more strange than
that thousands, perhaps tens Of Thousands of good
Union Democrats have been led away by it
They have not suspected treason--lhey have
supposed that their leaders would find some new
and more efficient mode of carrying on the war,
and ending erebellion-confding soulsI Their
leaders meant not a more vigorous prosecution
of the war, butcompromise on almost any terms.
They contemplated approaching to jeff, Davis
on bended knees and soliciting Compromise and
peace They were and are prepared to count
the National honor, and the millions of loyal
blood as-nokhing. 3 .l.,,.. !.........5, .....t..
Let those who still doubt The purpose OF the
the Democratic leaders, read their organs, a.
mongst which we may mention the Cincinnati
Enquirer the Ffce,nens Journal and Sam Me-
dary's paper. Let them read the account of
Southern rejoicings and illuminations over the
Democratic victory. Letthem read the speech
es of the Democratic orators, and very especially
of such orators as Merrck, Richardson and Gou-
dy, uttered in Springfield, Illinois last week.
The language ofthese men is reasonable with
the Constitutions plain meaning of treason
They are "aiding and abetting the armed en-
emies of the United States VIII the general
Government ignore these men? VIII it leave
them alone to speak and plot and organize trea-
son 7 Or will it vindicate its majesty by in
Aicting on them the punishment due to their
orimesP Leniency to them, is cruelty to the
nation. VIII the people rise and resist the Gov
ernment2 If so, the test might as well be ap-
piled now, as later when the the opposition will
or may have gained strength. Ifthe people Of
the free States are, in awOrd, to resist the Fed
eral Government, under present circumstances,
they are not worthy of the blessings of the I'm
ion-and the sooner the question is settled the
better If they love slavery more than the I'M
ion, the sooner the fact is known the better

The Dying stars.

Like those dropping, dying stars, our loved
ones go away from our sight The stars of our
hopes, our ambitions, our prayers, whose light
shines ever before US, leading on and up, they
suddenly fade from the armament of our hearts,
and their place is empty and dark. A mothers
steady, soft and earnest light, that beamed
through all our wants and sorows; a fathers
strong, quick light, that kept our feet from Stun
bling on the dark and treacherous ways; sis
ters light so mild, so constant, and so firm, skin
ing upon us from gentle, loving eyes, and per-
suading us to grace and goodness; a brothers
light, forever sleeping in our souls, and illumin-
ating all our goings and our comings; a friends
light, true and trusty-gone out-forever2 mol
no The light has not gone out. 1t is shining
beyond the stars, where there is no night and no
darkness, forever and forever.

"Normau," the Washington correspcuz
dent Of the Ohio State Journal, relates the
following pleasant incident: vaar H.
Among tho recent appointments is no.
ticed that Of Miss Gillespie, Of Lufay, Vir-
ginia, 10 place in the Internal Revenue
Office. There are some circumstances con-,
nected with this appointment which are Of
much interest. Miss Gillespie is the
daughter Of DR.. Gillespie, of Lursy, whose
family is one Of most respectable and calti-
vated 10 that regicn. The Doctor and al
bis household, stood up for the Union from
the beginning. For this loyalty to their,
country they were stripped by the rebels of
everything they bad III tho world, and from
a home surrounded by every luxury and
comfort, they were thrust out upon the
world destitute and dependent. Dr. Gill
cspie's services were secured in tho Surgeon
Generals Office, and now the beautiful and
interesting daughter, though tho instru-
mentality Of Miss Kate Chase, (who never
misses tho Opportunity Of doing kind ac-
tiou,) and Mr.. Wetmore, tho Agent for
Ohio, has been placed in position Of COM
paraliye Independence. II may not be q.
miss to say that all ol this family, native
Virginiaus, and raised in the midst Of slavery
agree in expressing thcir repugnancc to that
''diyine Institution" snd tho manner in
which they endorse the Presidents Procla-
nation of Freedom, might put TO blush
some Of our Northern people, who are 80
afraid Of 'hurting the feelings" Of their
slave-holding friends. I.aedi =. .saii,s.n

ChrIs, Berore PIlalc.

The whole process more resembled the exam
ination of a sacrifice, that it might be eyinced to
be without blemish, than the trial ofa criminal
dreadful death, TO have been at the very time
pronounced innocent and righteous, by the per-
sons who conducted, those that apprehended
him, and the judge who passed sentence on him
and the officer who superntended his execution
while they who clamorously demanded his
death could allege no reason for their conduct
No doubt God providentially ordered all these
circumstances, to make It evident that Jesus suf.
fered for no fault ofhis own, but merely for the
sins Of his peoplc.--Dr. z. Scott ~ 0'"

seldom exceeds 30, last year it went up to 100.

Schenck Tomorrow, by strong Union men. who
will have influence in securing his speedy re-

has been looked upon by the Government as
too Prevent for mere partisanism, forgetting its

country. Mr.. Boileau is we'll and enjoys all
