Her son. the last of that fair band,
That filed her home with glee,
Has found grave in this far land;
Laid low for Liberty
sold seotIand's skies are blue to-day.
And sweet the plover sings;
The Doom, goes dancing on its way,
The mavis plumes her wings:
But vain is all their joy 10 me,
For thou, my boy, art dead:
In other lands Beyond the ses,
They've made thy lonely bed.
''Thy voice no more shall glad mine ear,
Thine eye upon me beam
Thy ringing steps no mure IN hear,
By mountain side or stream
For oh, the cold damp sod lies low
Upon thy marble brow.
The heather-bels may blush and glow,
They may not charm me now.
ssId thought once more thy form to greet,
Beside the old home hearth;
To feel again thy kiEses sweet,
And hear thy songs OF mirth;
To see thee fiji thy vacant char,
To hear thy laugh Of old,
To smooth thy bonny locks OF hair
Now covered oer with mould.

He laid his young life down:
glory circling round his head,
far brighter than king's crown:
No royal robe ere wrapped form
More brave, more strong and true,
Than that which shelter ed him from storm,
The PATRIOTS suit OF blue.

And mourns for him, her proud, brave son,
Who'll glad these eyes no more.

though the most important election in
American history was not being holden.
The expectations of the butternuts were
thwarted. The reign of terror that was
to be, the rebel attack, the pillsge, tho
plunder. ballot boxes stuffed by Copper
head votes. the booty acquired and city
sacked aud burned, all this dido't take
place. The vigilance and pronptitude Of

was to have brought to grief the City Of
the Lakes. The discovery of the plot and
the arrest Of 80 many of the conspirators,
the activity of Col. Sweet and the police,
the firm stand taken by Mayor Sherman,
struck dismay into the hearts Of busternuts
and Cops, and for the Democratic victory
of FIRE and blood was substituted the Union
victory of municipal tranquility, general
good order and a large majority for Lin

Of this State The speech is sharp and
sensible. To understand why it is so short
the following facts will show: First, Mr.
Lincoln was young man, FAY twenty
two years OF age, and timid. Secondly,
his friends and opponents, in the joint
discussion, had rolled the sun nearly down.
Mr.. Lincoln saw that it was not then q
propes time to discuss the questions fully !,
and hence be cut his remarks short -
Probably the other candidates had wholly
