RAYMOND, the Chairman of the Shoddy
National Committee, publishes in The New
York Times, of which he is the editor and
proprietor, the following scorcher on the
Shoddy managers of the Pennsylvania cleo
tion:
"THE THREE POLITICAL GENERALS IN
THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTIoN.-The three
Generals, General Cameron, Chevalier For
ney and General John Cochrane, have been
managing Pennsylvania for Lincoln, and a
pretty mess they have made of it. They
have scattered greenbacks, pulled and
blowed all over the State, and what is the
result? The best thing that they can now
do is to pack up bag and baggage, scrip and
scribage, and retire from the management
of party politics in the future. Let them
leave that hereafter to men who have lit
tie reputation and honesty left"

JOHN SLIDELL-Describing the recent mar
riage in Paris, letter says: "Miss Slidell
is rather tall and decidedly fine looking
young lady of about twenty-five, and has
the reputation of being exceedingly relig-
ious, benevolent and amiable. She was
dressed in white satin, with long train,
and wore the conventional veil and the
wreath of orange blossoms. Considering
that Mr.. Slidell is said to have made mil
lion or more out of the rebel loan, it struck
me that he might have indulged in new
dress coat on the occasion, as the one he
wore looked excessively seedy, and |
thought the old gentleman himself looked
rather dilapidated"

SAID the New York T,ibune, Nov. 2e, 1850

SAID the New York Tribune, Nov. 26, 1860 :
"lf the cotton States unitedly and earnest
ly wish to withdraw peacefully from the
Union, we think they should and would be
allowed to do so. Any attempt to compel
them by force to remain would be contrary
to the principles enunciated in the immortal
Declaration of Independence, contrary to
the fundamental ideas ON whiche human
liberty is based"
Thisis the authority which nominated Mr..
Lincoln, and which more than any other
has influenced hisp policies. If, notwithstand-
ing this fact tits disputed that Mr.. Lincoln
did coincide with the sentiments expressed
in the extract, we invite attention to the
subjoined declaration made by him in Con-
gress during the Mexican war:
ANY people anywhere, being inclined
and having the power, have right to rise
up and shake off the existing government
and form new one that suits them better.
This is most sacred right, which we hope
and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is
this right confined to cases in which the
whole people of an existing government
may choose to exercise it. Any portion of
such people that can may revolutionize,
and make their own of so much of the
territory as they may inhabit. More than
this, majority of any portion of such
people may revolutionize, putting down a
minority, intermingled with or near about
them, who may opposeltheir movements"

The Massachusetts White Slave
Trade --. What becomes of the
Imported Soldiers .-- Two Hum
dred and Fifty of Them Refuse
to Fight and are Sent to the
Front as Prisoners.
{ Our readers will remember that some
time since the Express translated from the
Courier des Etats Unis an article containing
most astounding revelations regarding the
manner in which the State of Massachusetts,
filled her quotas under the several calls for
troops by sending agents abroad and i'm
porting cargoes of foreigners. The for
eigners, as was stated at the time, are in
duced to accept the proffers of agents on
the other side by the promises held out to
them that they are to work, not fight, when
arriving in this country. Those who have
been thus deceived have all been distrib-
uted throughout the various regiments be-
longing to Massachusetts,, but two hundred
and fifty of the most intelligent OF these
emigrants, as we have learned since
from authentic sources, still hold out
and refuse to fight under the Massachu-
sets banner For several weeks past they
were huddled together at Harper's Ferry,
and all the threats, all the oppression could
not induce them to become soldiers in
Massachusetts regiment. If they were
obliged to fight at all, they preferred to do
SO In New York regiment, the Ninth Ar
tillery, as they would then be commanded
by officers who were their own country
men. The commander at Harper's Ferry,
Col johnson, was appealed to, to either
give them their liberty, to which they were
entitled, or to transfer them to the Ninth
New York Artillery. But the Colonel, not
satisfied with refusing their just demands
we have since heard, sent them all last week
as prisoners to the front at Winchester,
there probably to be shot down as 'muti-
neers' (?) by our own forces, or as enc
mics by the rebels! sfs
BEEcHER's SUNDAY Circus. Henry
Ward Beecher's Sunday evening political
harangues are even more crowded than his
religious discourses. Last Sunday night, for
instance, the crowd about the doorways
was noisy and uncomfortable. Ladies were
handed over the backs Of pews, bonnets and
beavers were crushed, crinolines were rem
dered shapeless, and hundreds went away
from the doors unable to obtain admission.
A full blown circus could honor Sabbath

'Tis June, and all the lowland swsmps
Are rich with tuited reeds and ferns,
And fiDy With the vaporous damps
That rise when twiigh,'s crimsons burns
And as the deepening dusk Ct night
Steals purpling up from vale to height
The Tanton fire. flies show their fitful light.
Soft CLEANS on clover blooms they fling,
And gEmmer in zach shadowy dell,
Or downward with a sudden swing,
Fall. as of old Pleisd fell
AID on the fields brigh gems they gtrow,
And up and down the meadow go,
And through the forest wanter toana fro.
They store no hive, nor earthly cell,
They sip no honey from The rose
By day unseen, unknown they dwell,
Nor a1ght of their rare gifts disclose;
Yet when the night upon the swsmps
Balls out The murk and misty damps.
They pierce the shadows with their ehiuing lamps,
Nov ye who in life's gasish light,
Unseen, unknown, walk to aid fro,
When Death shall bring dreamless nj, ht
May ye not find your lamps aglow?
God works. we know not why nor how,
And one day light, close hidden now,
Nay blaze like gems upon an angePs brow.
