Drew swords against each other
Our country hailed with pride and Joy,

"Auguste Belmont, of New York, the dis
linguished chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, has been for some time
past, the object of malicious abolition attack,
not alarmed so much at him personally as
against the party Of which he is so valuable
member. Among other asserionsis is, that he
is il favor Of peace and assumption OF the
Southern debt, because the Rothschilds and
himself are holders Of large amount Of Con-
federate bonds. Now, we are authorized by
Mr.. Belmont to state that be is not the own

bonds or money in any shape whatever, and
he happens to know that Messrs. ROthschilds
are in exactly the same position.

Mcclellan our leader, wen rally again,
And vote to restore the Old Union
The union Of lakes and the union Of lands,
The Union which none shall discover:
The union Of hearts and the union Of hands

But wild and iercer grew the strife,
And armies sternly meeting,
Stood face to face on mutual ground,
And thundered hostile greeting;
Then brighter grew his glorious name,
And patriot voices swelling,
Renewed the soldiers shout and cried
Our hero is Mcclellan!
But envy aims at all that's bright,
And strikes the noblest quarry,
So who but he, our gallant chief,
Should dogs Of party worry;
But never halfsO pure and true,
(His fame enshrihed Is swellingA
As when his foes their futile shafts
Shoot harmless at at Mcclellan.
Above the weak and factious throng,
Whose transient power debases,
His trial shows him nobler stiIl,
And every wrong but graces
Then here's to him, the just and brave,
Who, all his foemen quelling,
Shall yet redeem his cOuntry's cause,

WELL DoSE-At "a recent Democratic
meeting in New York, one of the speakers. a
German Colonel who has been in service in
our army, tod large number of amusing
stories, illustrating the absurd creed OF the
AdmInistrationlsts. The two following, hii
off the points described in an efftctivs man
ner
Is A man once went for doct or FOR his
wife and asked hlin, how long have you
been doctor 2 The answer was. Twenty
five years fhe man asked, How many
patients have YOU killed in that time 2 'On.
Is one " slid the doctor; SD he man hired
the doctor 10 see his wife, and IN few days
his wife was dead. So the man asked him in
great wrath how it was possible he had only
killed one person in twenty five years. 'Oh,
said The doctor, i only had one patient. -
So The Republicans in twenty or thirty years
have only one patient, and they have nearly
killed him. In making this year for abo-
lition, they are like the man who set fire
to his house, AMI burned in it his furlur G
hi. wife and children, and when asked
why he burned it, replied 'to kill c'ckroa ch-
es"
The latter story is decidedly we'll put

E The following mysterious extract is
taken from the New York correspondence OF
the Boston Journdl:-
There is a small room in the Astor House,
On the lower floor, around which clusters
quite as much interest as any room in the
nation. excepting III. Presidents room in the
White House. Its occupant-and he has
held the room for many years-is quiet and
apparently unobtruslve man, moving about
the corridors with a cat-hke step, rarel y
speaking to any one, being rarely spoken to,
and of so quiet and subdued mien that his
presence would not be noticed by a stranger
He comes and goes almost without observa-
tinn-pass,rg away in the evening train, and
fitting back with the early morning light -
military life, pass through New York with
ont visiting this room. 1t is the head quar-
ters of the conservative element Of the land
without re,ard to party. Fremont does not
visit, but Mcclellan does. Butler did not
call, in his recent passage through New York
but Gov. Seymour is quite a. home in the
Chambers. The plan for the re organization
OF the rebel states. and the c. ,ervative plan
for conducting the next presidential cam
paign, are here mapped out and perfected -
Influence, that agitate Congress and the
State Legislature, and knock mto pi the
schemes of politicians, can be traced to this
lltle chamber, which is the New York home
of Thurlow Weed.
