nThe Stern Statesman

The editor of the Phila. Bulletin gives the
following account of the origin of JEFF. Davis
SOJ1fquet-"T The stern statesman - placing
the authorship upon VIM. B. Reed, of that
city:
We will state the circumstances of the case
historically, and as concisely as we can. In
the early spring of 1868, when the Union cause
did not present very encouraging aspect a
series of meetings was held at what were call
ed the "COpperhead Headquarters, on Wal
nut street, below Sixth. On several successive
Saturday nights distinguished orators address
ed the meetings convened there, and on the
night of Saturday, March 28th, 1868, the ora
torical turn of Mr.. Reed came around.
Mr. Reed at the outset of his remarks re-
ferred to the fact that he had not recently ia
ken an active part in the discussion of public
affairs, except through the medium of the pen
Che had lately written pamphlet urging the
recognition of the Southern Confederacyl, and
in view of the depressed condition ofthe Union
cause he congratulated his hearers that he
could now speak out plainly upon the absorb
ing topics of the day. He then went on to
urge peace upon almost any terms; he went
for a convention of all the States to arrange
for mutual concessions; advocated States
rights, and dwclt at length upon the dangers
of "a centralized government"
Mr.. Reed then went on to handle the ad-
ministration without gloves, denouncing it in
bitter, but polished terms, for the Currency,
for the Conscription act, for the Indemnity
act. and for arming the blacks. He styled
Negro troops, "the Black Sepoys of the
South" and he drew pathetic picture of
negroes, armed with pixies, standing guard
over a chivalrous Southern people, and of no.
bic Southern women and pure virgins, being
compeIled COZ to perform menial duties for black
soldiers, at the bidding of an abolition govern
ment at Washington.
Messrs John Van Buren, and James I. Bra
DIV. of New York, had recently made speeches
at their own homes, urging vigorous prOsecu-
ton the War for the Union. For this course
Mr. Reed read them out of what he called the
Democratic party. He spoke of them in a
very sarcastic tone, as he so well knows how to
do, and then went on to urge that they were
ON the lookout for secret service money from
Washington; they perhaps, wanted to go upon
mission to the Confederate capital, and he
(Mr. Reed could readily imagine tableau
with two satch ambassadors approaching the
stern statesman who occupied the Executive
chair at Richmond"
The tone of supreme contempt with which
the orator of the evening spoke of the two
representatives of Northern War Democracy,
and his manner indicating profound respect

POET r Y
DESERTED.

The river flowed with the light on its breast,
And the weeds went eddying by,
And the round red sun sank down in the West,
When my loves loving lips to my lips were prest,
Under the evening sky.
Now weeping alone by the river / stray,
For my love he has left me this many day,
Left me to drOop and die!
AS the river flowed then, the river flows still,
In ripple and foam and spray,
On by the church, and round by the hill,
And under the s!uice of the old burnt mill,
And out to the fading day;
But love it no more, for delight grows cold,
When the song is sung, and the tale is told,
And the heart is given away!
Oh, river, run far! Oh, river, run fast!
Oh, weeds, float out to the sea!
For the sun has gone down on my beautiful past,
And the hopes that like bread on the waters cast,
Have drifted away like thee
30 the dream it is fed, and the day it is done,
And my lips still murmur the name of one
Who will never come back to me!
