ARMING THH SLAVES.
From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. s.
The writer of the Message intended to be
cautious, but has in several points written
an tndiscreet paper. That part which will
attract most attention is the passage rOlat-
ing. 10 a suggested CONSUMPTION Of negro
soldiers. This project originated with
those who had not fHlly reflected on its
character, and has been nimade matter OF
some publicity BIZ othersiwho delight in all
things which make q sensation. The prop
osition has, in fact, made considerable
sensation both in Northern aud the South
ern States. It has not hitherto been mem
toned in these columns, because there was
no possibility that it would become praC'
tical measure of policy, and because IL was
matter TO provoke violent discord of feel
ing and speech at q period when such dis
cussion was most undesirable. Both from
its delicacy and from the fact that 1t has
never been asnbject of official deliberation
we are surprised to see it treated in the
Presidents Message. But since the CUES
ton has been so Introduced, its considera-
ton can no longer be avoided.
1t is proposition which can be sup
ported only on the ground that good sol
iiers can be made Of negroes. Now, Whal

Afraid of Ghosts,

| The Aboltionists have taken new and
sudden turn--turned an acute angle, recent
". Although. by their acts, person
would suppose that they were afraid of
neither God. man, nor the devil. they seem
all at once TO have moral fear Of GHOSTS.
Everybody knows with what pertinacity
they insisted, Immediately after the last
election, that the Democratic party was
dead, and buried beyond the hopes of res
urection; that it was powerless for evil ever
after and the way for clear and smooth
sail to Abolitonism was opened for the en-
tire future. This, they all asserted and the
more credulous and unsophisticated ofthem
who pinned their faith TO the sleeves Of
the leaders-believed But, all at once the
leaders have become dreadfully alarmed and
frightened about this dead party-this
GHOST Of Democracy, and are cautioning
their readers to beware of their evil doings
and Vaccinations. This new freak is as
strange as it is sudden.
The appearance Of the GHOST of Banquo
did not strike his murderer with more con-
sternation and alarm than does this GHOST
Of Democracy the leaders of the Abolition
party. If those corrupt Abolition editors
and orators believedwhat they told their de-
luded followers. how extremely silly and
absurd in them now to be talking about an
other and more desperate battle with the
Democracy-urgingt their readers to ''be on
their guard against this dead party p
What has inspired this sudden and new fear
among them, We can not conceive, unless
| they see GHOSTS and are afraid of them.
That the Aboftionists, if they have any
consciences (which is very doubtful, sho d
! be afraid that their own damnable acts
should rise up in judgement against them
would not be surprising. That the GHOSTS
tber ire unrody 1 n o%bon to " deitrov r s this gov "
ernment and nation should haunt them in
their sleeping and waking hour, is quite ma
tural but to be afraid of this Dead and
buried Democratic party" only shows of
what craven and cowardly spirits they are
possessed --Hancock Courier.

When twilight brings her softencd Echt
And spreads it o or the world.
Or when her .tarry-banner night
Has o er the earth unfurled,
And gentle breczcs come and go,
And round Inc sport and play,
And seem to whisper soft and low
Of the unknown far away.
All then, my spirit loves to soar
In lofty fight sublime
And roam the distant future shore,
And speed ahead Of time.
What sparkling treasures there | find,
What joy dwells in that land.
How lovely is that realm Of mind,
How bright that icweled strand
There love and bliss, with gildcd wings,
Together ever dwell
And hope, with sweetest cadence, sings
In Fancy's fairy dell
There waves of music. low and sweet,
Float ON the fragrant air;
And zephyrs, in their gambols feet,
Weave them in tunes so rare.
Oft when the world is dark and drear,

And thith herward repair.

And with her fairest hues combined
She paints bright scenes for me.
Appropriate are her pictures too,
To feelings Of my heart
When | am sad her gentlest hue

And words of hope fall on my car,
As breathed by loving ones,
While all around the atmosphere
Seems filled with music tones,
Which with the air that inspire

And lift my spirit being higher
And spurn dull Care control.

Behold with quickness it is brought,
Around my brow It's twined,
All sparkling with bright gems of though

Down long, dim aisles of time,
And in the distant Future haze

And storms to rainbows fair.

To cheer the weary mind,

Their Lethe hope to find.
