dying boy, apparently about fifteen years of age.
AS endeayored to loose ii from his grasp, he
opened his languid eyes, and implored me, by
all that was good and pure, by the memory of
my own mother, not TO rob him of his sister s
picture, "Oh!' said he, lit was her last gift

parting, that I would wear it near my heart, In

soul into the plea, he exclaimed cob Touch

scooped a shallow grave, and buried him with
his sisters picture lying upon his breast.

Buffers WIT.-The Earl of Dorset, having
a great desire to pass an evening with Butler,
as private gentleman, prevailed upon COM
mon friend, Mr.. Shepherd, to introduce him into
his company at tavern to which they both re-
sorted This being done, Butler, while the first
bottle was being drunk, appeared very fat; at
the second bottle extremely brisk and lively,
Astounding in wit and learning, and making
himself most agreeable companion; when the
third bottle was flushed, he again sank into
such stupidity and dizziness, that hardly any
body could have believed him to be the author
of Hudbras The next day. the earl of Dorset
was asked his opinion of him; he answered

SPEAKING of the. right of the shareholders of
Maryland to compensation for their negroes as
part of the plan of emancipation, Henry Winter
Davis gave utterance to the following =
sit is Just as we'll to look facts in the face as
not. say they are going to have-in my judg-
ment they will haye-in my purpose they shall
have no compensation from the Government OF
the United States if can avert it. Applause. ]
They refused the offer when it was made, and
when the acceptance of it would have saved
thousands of lives and shortened this desolatine
rebellion, they spurned it, scoffed at it, secuted
those who proposed it, did their best to defeat
the project in the councils of the nation, and
now they may eat the bitter fruits Of their own
folly.
scWhy should the United States pay for dead
dog any more than the people OF Maryland =
They do not free their slaves now because they
want to do so, but they free them because the
people of Maryland have said they shall be free

aAMIFOR PEACEq YEs!,

Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson, that grand old
democrat of New York, being written to by a
lady, and the inquiry made of him if he was for
peace. returned this ringing reply Iron Plat
form.
For the peace which rings out from the cannons
throat,
And the suasion of shot and she'll,
Till rebellion spirit is trampled down
TO the depths of its kindred hell.
For the peace which shall follow the squadrons
tramp,
Where The brazen trumpets bray,
And. drunk with the fury of storm and strife,
The blood-red chargers neigh.
For the peace that shall wash out the leprous
stain
OF our savery-foul and grim
And shall sunder the letters which creak and
clank
On the down-trodden black mans limb.
/ will curse him as traitor, and false of heart,
Who would shrink from the conflict now,
And will stamp it with blistering, burning
brand,
On his hideous, Cain-like brow
Out out of the way with your spurious peace
Which would make us rebelion's slaves
We will rescue our land from the traltorous
grasp
Or cover it over with graves,
Out out of the way with your knavish schemes,
You trembling and trading pack
Crouch away in the dark like sneaking hound,
That its master had beaten back
You would barter the fruit of our fathers blood
And sell out the Stripes and Stars,
TO purchase place with rebellion's votes,
Or escape from rebellions scars.
By the widow wall, by the mother tears,
By the orphans who cry for bread,
By our sons who fell, we viii never yield
Till rebellion's soul is dead

-slidIng scales of Loyalty,

In 1861, the sacesh said that Abraham
lincoln and his party intended to destroy
institution Of slavery in the States.
Lincoln aud his party denied it and gave
the most emphatic assurances that the
charge was false. Indeed, it was evidence
Of distoyalty in Kentucky to make such q
charge. -r ..+s
The friends Of the Union, in the press
end on the stump, discredited the charge
showed that the President and his party
denied it. .. --a ~ I'm s.-
Iu this way the contest went on in all
parts Of Kentucky-the friends OF the
Uuion defending the President and his
party from this charge. 1t was clear proof
that man was rebel if he proclaimed
and undertook to show that the war would
be one on slavery.
Now how is it? Honest Old Abraham
has proved that what the rebels said was
true, and what the friends of the Union
said was false. He has given the lie to
what the friends of the government said
and confirmed what was his enemies said
He cannot escape the charge of apestacy
from the faith upon which he was supper t.
cd in Kentucky and by the Union men in
the South generally. That he has changed
his doctrine and his practice radically,
nobody denies, regardless of how it might
affect the cause of the government.
The partisans of the administration wish
now to condemn all as disloyal who do not
support the present doctrines and measures
of the administration. Two years ago the
administration opposed the same measures
and tkeir partisans did so in like mans
ner. -
At that time they were oil dislcyal prnc.
tices, 1t was one proof loyalty to defend
the administration against the attention of
doing what it has since done. 1t was proof
of dislOyhlty to charge such an intention
The standard of loyalty is changed without
notice, and ali men are expected to Change

Death OF Hon. owen LovejOy

The death of this prominent politician,
which took place at the house of relative
in Brooklyn, on the night of the 18th ult.
has been the occasion of many demonstra-
ton Of respect for the deceased in different
parts o! the country.
For the last twenty-five years, Mr.. Love
JOY was notorious throughout the West as
the principal leader of the radical Abolit~
ion party. He was man of eminent abil
ity-and on the stump had few equals. 1t
was mainly through his efforts that the cid
Wing party become Abolitiouized. He has
been a member of Congress seven years
. during six of which he represented the dis
triot that embraces this county. His re-
mains were conveyed to Prime eton for in
! torment
While we are willing to join with some
OF our contemporaries in their tributes TO the
memory of the deceased, so far as bis tal-
ents and position demand, at the same time
we must accompany such an expression
! with firm dissent from his political opin-
IONS We regret the death Of the orator
and man of talents, but we must cay that
| we cannet grieve that the CAUSE Of Adolf
tiOnism and negro equality has lost one Of
its chief supports.
