LYRICS FOR THE TIMES.
BY PETER PErpERcoRR.
The Democratic Creed.
BY PETER pErrERcoRa

The Democratic Creed.
Regardless Of the hireling's cry
OF ,Coprerhead and all that,
We still despotic power defy,
And dare to speak for all that,
For al that, and all that,
TIE traitor brand and oil that,
We still believe the south bas rights
AZ well as North, for all that.
And love the Constitution, too,
We never will deny that;
Although the Abolition crew
Would willingly destroy that.
For all tha., and all that,
In spite Of threats, and all that,
The Constitution as it was
Shall still be ours for all that.
State rights we ever will uphold,
Free speech, free rrsss, and all that;
Hard cash Of copper, silver, gold,
With no discount on allthat.
Yes, all that, and all that,
We still adhere to all tkat,
No military necessity
Shall rob US yet Of all that.
The frssioni Of the 5aiiot.5oz
From bayonet, cath, and all that,
With no fyramnic po,csr that mocks
At Justice, peace, and all that.
Yes, all that, and all that,
We claim and will have all that;
White men, no matter rich or poor,
Have still the right to all that.
Let towards wear the giljsd chain,
Ama'gamate, and all that;
The Democrat its links disdain,
LOVES freedom more than all that.
Yes all that, and all that;
Peace, Justice, truth, and all that,
Our glorious Union as it was,
We love it still, for all that.

Recent proceedings in the South Caro-
lima Legislature look very much as tho
that State, l. consistency with her enter
tanned secession doctrines, was about to
secede from the empire of Jeff. Davis.
Resolutions have been introduced into
that body denouncing as unconstitutional
Davis proposition to emsncipate the
slaves and abridge the freedom of the
press; declaring that slaves are not
smenabIe to Richmond Government, and
advising other States not to submit. TO its
usurpations.
Richmond Dispatch says Sherman
seems to be becoming more timid or more
exhausted, as for five days, up to last
Friday, he made only S miles per day.
He has lost so much time and given The
confederates such opportunity TO gather
strength. that be must If necessary strike
