NO DEATH

There sno death! Tie dust We tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower,
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize,
To iced the hungry m o~s they bearl
The frost leaves daily life
From out the vewless air.
There is no DEATH The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintery hours
TIE coming OF the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent trcadi
He bears our loved things away,
And then we call them "dead."
He leaves our hearts all desolate--
He plucks our fairest. sweetest flowers
Transplan ed into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The tird-like voice whose joyous tones
Make glad these scenes of woe and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life!
And where He sees smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for taiLt or vice,
He bears it to that world Of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Porn in that undyirg life
TIey leave US but to como again!
With ioy we welcome them tho Same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread,
Der AL the boundless Universe
Is lIfe-There is 10 dead!

"WHEN RoeUEs FAIL Our" &c.-A
lively quarrel has sprung up among the
managers of the Sanitary Fair, recently
held in Wheeling, in regard to "division

managers appropriated the proceeds to their
own use, instead of applying it for the ben

NOMINATE PEACE CANDIDATE.-The
yearning of the great public heart is for
peace; and the hopes of tens of thousands
who never voted Democratic ticket are
that the Chicago Convention will nominate
candidates who are for peace on honorable
terms. A Republican, writing from Nc
Greoor. Iowa, to the Chicago Times, SAYS:
1.-The present aspect OF our national affairs
has tended to make many Republicans de-
nouuce in bitter terms our present Adm mis-
tratiou. / refer 10 the peace propositions
which were rejected by our Governm ent,
when the only hope of Conservative men to
put an end to this unholY war is by peace
propositions. 1t has tended greatly to
change the minds of the loyal men that the
cause for which we are fighting is not for the
welfare of our Government. In speaking
thus think can safely say 1 am express
irg the views Of one hundred Republican
voters in this voting precinct. We there
fore ask of the Chicago Convention to adopt
a peace upon honora BILE terms. Aud think
can safely say that the conservati Re =
publicans of Northern iowa. who have th e
the welfare Of their country at heart, will !
adopt and labor for the election of such
candidate for the Presidency"

The Abolitionists have found new cause
for complaint against Gen Meade since the
failure of the last burglarious attempt upon
his reputation. Horrible to relate, they
have discovered that Meade counselled with
Mcclellan, in regard to his military move
ments! The following is q special from
Washington to the Tribune of Thursday:
1t is stated on good authority that Gen
Meade was in correspondence with Gen
Mcclellan explaining his actions and move
ments during the fall of 1863, and also that
he wrote to Mcclellan in relation to the or.
der prohibiting the Mcclellan testimonial
in the army
On these points, there is strong opposi'
ton made not only to his being nominated
for Major General in the regular army, but
also to his being retained in command Of
che Army Of uhe Potomac. 1t is probable
that the opposition of the former may pre-
vent his nomination, but it is generally con-
coded that he will remain in command of
the Army of the Potomac.

TIE WHEAT CRoP.-A letter dated Vim
cennes Indiana, says: The wheat crop in this
region is badly injured by the February
freeze, and cannot make more than half a
crop, under most favorable circumsta noes.
Some fields look well and seine will pro-
duce nothing. think there will be some
apples; peach trees are nearly all killed.
Some of our farmers are blowing up their
wheat and sowing in oats, &c. A letter
from Montgomery county, Ky, says: All
fall sown grain is considered very much in
jured. I have examined nv own, and for
six miles north and south, and for nearly
twenty miles east and west, and have seen
but one field in the entire region that
promises a full yield. All the balance, |
know, is Injured from one third to two
thirds. Rye promises halfcrop: not much
sown. Peaches are generally dead; not
more than one live one to every hundred
buds. In some localities not one can be
found. The trees are probably injured, but
ofthis am not certain. Apples, my i'm.
preston is, are not injured seriously, if any.
Bees are very nearly all dead.

Wellsburg All Right.
lFor the Register.
WELLsBURa, April 8, "a.


Ne.srs. Eaitors-Y Yesterday was glorious
dsy for the Democracy Of Wellsburg, and
one of signal rebuke to the Abolitionists
aud HUnion Leaguers." The "Leaguers' D
and fanatics generally, for . year or so past,
have been under the delusion that democ-
racy was dead, and have had things pretty
much :heir own way. Thinking there was
no danger ia kicking, prosecuting and in
sulting dead lion, they have made this
their business. Old citizens, in attempting
to vote and exercise their rights as citizens,
have been challenged by upstairs and in
terlopers. If man did not come up to
their standard, swear by Abe Lincoln and
Greeley, go in for negro equality, cry out
for more blood and butchery, he was "reb-
ell" deserving the indignation of these i'm
maculate Union men. But the lion was
only sleeping, and, to their dismay, has
turned upon their interests and devoured
them. The Abolitionists had been calcula-
ting largely upon the soldiers vote, but
fortunately the most of our boys were at
home where they could vote their true sen
timents; and the result is that the whole
democratic ticket, for town officers is tri
umphantly elected on fair issue, between
Democracy and "Miscegenation."
We expect ut the toweship election to
put the finishing stroke to the enemies Of
Democracy. WELLsBURG.

The Miscegen Party.

There never has been known more false
application of name than that of "Union''
to the present Abolition or Miscegen party,
unless, indeed, it has reference to a union
of the white aud black races, rather than
to Union of the States under the Consti-
tuition. II, originally, this party professed.
ly undertook the war for tho Union as it
was, and the Constitution as it is. it long
ago threw off the disguise, and now boldly
occupies the position described by Vice
President HAMLIN, who said in recent
speech: "Do you want the Union as it was
and the Constitution as it is2 WELL, You
CANNOT HAVE THEM" Not the "Union''
party, therefore, but the Miscegen party,
should the Administration political organi.
cation be called henceforth.

Tar effort made BY the anti.Lincoln por~

popement of the nominating convention
seems to have failed of its object. Mr.. Lin

ensuing summer to maintain his popularity
If the convention were postponed until the
month of September or held in some Other

it is highly probable that Abraham Lincoln
would not again be the nominee Of his par
ty. As 1t is; Abraham has decreed it, and
so it will be recorded. Whether the sup

be whipped in to the support of a candidate
whom they are daily pronouncing unfit, dis
honest and imbecile remains yet to be seen.
