| Come 10 take thy sceptre now,
Ere thy sixteen months have chased the
Baby graces from thy brow
Heis now enthroncd the monarch,
| All the house must bow TO him.
"Floy" must be our little Lady,
Bravely crush each baby whim;
Sec the monarch in her cradle,
| flushed by mammals lullaby,
Yield him up her precious playthings
Without one rebellious cry.
Shameful--Yes Ito turn the darling
From her rightful nest so soon
| just like grating battle marches
On TO some old nursery tune
Mammals love must do il gently
Sugar coat the bitter pill
Keep place for little lady
In her hearts warm cradle still.
We give below another letter from
Thurlow Weed. The progress of af-
fairs and the developments of govern
mental action have so far shown that
Mr.. Weed is not only able, but willing
to tell a great deal of truth, and
truth. too, which it much concerns the
public to know. If ever the history
of this war is truthfully written, it
will be made to appear that the loud
est denouncers Of the true friends of
the peuple have been tnose who have
grown rich by such means as would
disgrace an ordinary highwayman.

suring the public that he will appeal
to the laws, "civil and criminal" to
"redress" himself and to ''punish the
offender" This is quite proper. If
Mr.. Opdyke was not partner in the
gun claim against the city, and if he
did not receive 100000 in Mariposa
stock from Gen. Fremont, he is en-
titled TO redress" as is the offender
to punishment"
In the meantime, as the laws pace

tracts from the case before :. :.
