DEMOCRATIC LITERATURE.


Some Legislative friend has kindly
furnished us the first volume of the
Democratic party in this State. In
order to deceive and mislead the
people into reading the document, it
is printed under the heading of g Re
port of the Directors of the Insane
Asylum" The second volume will
shortly be issued, entitled :" Report
of the Directors and Warden of the
State Penitentiary," and contain a
general history of that Institution,
with many interesting incidents in
the lives of distinguished Democrats
who are rusticating within its walls.
These two volumes will be indispen-
sable to those who, desire to keep
posted in the history of the party

AN OLD DESCRIPTION OF A
.- COPPERHEAD. pEaa

In one of the speeches made dur
ing the last war with Great Britain
by Felix Grundy, of Tennessee, oc-
ours the following description of a
thorough going Copperhead, as seen
at the present day:
An individual goes over, JOINS the
ranks of the enemy, and raises his
arms against his country; he is clear
ly guilty of treason. under the Con-
stitution. the overt act being con-
summated. Suppose the same indi-
vidual not to go over to the enemy,
but to remain in his own neighbor-
hood, and, by means of his influence.
to dissuade ten men from enlisting;
i ask in which case has he benefited
the enemy and injured the country
mostI
Again. he says, in answering the
question, Whom, then. do 1 accuse?'
accuse him, sir, who processes to
be the friend of his country and en-
joys its protection, yet proves him.
self by his actions to be the friend OF
its enemy; / accuse him who sets
himself to work Systematically to
weaken the arm of this Government
by destroying its credit and dampen-
ing the ardor of its citizens; / ac.
cuse him who has used his exertions
to defeat the loan and prevent the
young men of the country from going
forth to fight their countrys battles
| accuse him who announces with JOY
the disasters of our arms, and sinks
into melancholy when he hears ol
our success. Such men l cannot
consider friends to this nation.

o shall be SO happy!' Oil how my
wild boy heart drank up the angel
faith mirrored in the depth of those
great, earnest eyes, and dropped in
words, like pearls of purity, from
those pain-whitened lipsl It seemed
to me then, that the little pale hand
that trembled for a moment in my
own, had strength enough to draw me
up TO the far shining Heaven! My
heart was soothed and comforted; and
do you know, Ellen, even now,
"ThOugh am farther of from Heaven,
Than when was a boy" -----
thosesimple words have often spoken
peace to the tempest of agony in my
breast. Ayakened by the thought that
perhaps we should never meet again
ON earth!
There, do not weep nor trembIet
wife; it may be so, and I would no
have you nnprepared. A soldier
dares death every hour. you. know,
my Ellen land if my country requir-
es my life as an obligation upon the
alter of its veal, 1 desire to leave
with you the assurance that in the
far country, where the clashing of
arms is never heard your soldier-hus |
band loves and waits for you. 1t |
would be but parting-a bitter one,
indee but yeta parting; a few
heart beats, and we should meet
again.
Only common soldier, yet, wifel
but that signifies little A true man
and patriot carries pronder badge
of distinction in his bosom than
scrap of tinselry ever conveyed. A
soldier may mark his path in the strife
the glitter of an epaulette or
the motion of plume. Many of our
brave men have better certificates
of worthy deeds engraved in their
grinning flesh by the point of the en-
emys bayonet, than their country's
gratitude can ever bcstow.
i had more to say bnt my light is
low. and the shadows creep
upon my page so fast. 1 have only
time to add prayer to God, that He
will bless and guard my baby boys,
Ellen. EO1- E D-E-g
Good night Some time we shall
meet again!
That was all.

No. The United States has done
little directly for the negro, but in
abolishing slavery, has simply
fought the rebellion which is slavery.
1t has shown no generosity to the
slave, but has granted him justice.
That the war is for the benefit Of the
colored race is true. but we impera-
lively declare that all the good that
the black minority will win from the
abolition of slavery is eclipsed by the
surprising good to the white major
ty. Again, if the war were not
against slavery it could not be war
