SONG OF SARATOGA,
BY JOHN G. SAKE.


" Pray, what do they do at the SpringsfD
The question is easy to ask;
But to answer II fully, my dear
Were rather a serious task
And yet In bantefing way,
As the maspie or mocsing-bitd sings,
III venture sort of q song
To tell what they do at the Springs
fmprimis, my darling, they drink
The waters 80 sparkling and clear
Though the flavor is none Of the best
And the odor exceedingly queer;
But the fluid is mingled, you know,
With wholesome medicinal things;
So they drink, and they drink, and they drink
And that's what they do at the Springs
Then, with appetitss keen as knife
They hasten to breakfast or dine; -..
The latter precisely at three,
The former from seven till une0
fe godsl what rustic and rush
When the eloquent dinner-bell fiugs;
Then they cat, and they eat and they eat
And that's what they do at the Springs
Now, they stroll in the beautiful walks.
Or loll In the shades Of the trees,
Where many whisper 10 heard
That never is told by the breeze;
And bands are Communicating with hands,
Regardless Of conjuga rings;
And they airt, and they dirt, and they fiji,
And that's what they do at the sprinSs
Tbe drawing rooms are now abIazs
And the music Is shrieking away;
Isrpsichore governs the hour,
And fashion was never 70 gay
An arm round taperlng waist
How closely and fondy 1t elings;
50 they waltz, and they waltz, and they waltz,
And thats what they do at the SPRING.
In short--ss 1t goes In the world
They eat, and they drink, and thsy sleep,
They talk, and they walk, end they woo,
Thew and hnyx
They read, and they write, and they dance,
with othor unspeakabls tb!rgs,)
They pray, and they play, and they gay,

| SINGULAR RELATIONSHIP. The edi-
tor of the Old Colony Sentinel says that
| during his late residence in Baton
Rouge, La, he was made acquainted
with two families, who present to each
other very singular relationship, to say
the least. Mr.. John Dougherty married
the daughter of an old lady, with plan
tatfon and plenty of negroes, and COM
graduated himself that In due time the
old lady would shuttle off her mortal
coil, and leave Mrs. Dougherty and the
little Dougherties In affiuence But true
love never did run smooth, and so it was
in this case, for hardly had the {" little
responsibilities begun to flock around
the domestic board before Joseph
Dougherty, younger brother of John,
duly installed at the head of the house.
Here was dilemma. The reversion OF
the estate, it is true, was in Johns wife,
but not, by the terms of her fathers
will, until her mother and her mothers
husband should both die and that event
appears to be rather remote. The homo
which John had SO complaceDtly pic
tured to himself Joseph now wants for
himself and wife, whose claim is su-
perior to that of her daughter. And, be-
side, the social part OF the arrangement
must be q little awkward. 1t must be
little odd for John to call his younger
brother Father" and yet he is his
mother-in-law's husband. The old lady
on her marriage seemed to take a new
lease of life, partly, probably, from the
youthfulness of her husband, and also
that her daughter was her sister, being
her husbands brothers. wife. To the
children the matter was particularly
perplexing, they never exactly under
standing why they should call their
grandmother aunt, and their "Uncle
Josephn grandfather.

Living Usstvps.

Among the important living issues of the
present political campaign are those of ne
gro suffrage and restoration of the Union
No candid man will deny that the object
OF the Republican party leaders is equality
OF the white aud black races. General Cox,
H. c. Schonck and Others propose different
plans but all design the accomplishment
OF the same cnd-ncgro suffrage and negro
equality. We do not believe that all are
actuated by sincere motives in advocating
this. Some may, and no doubt do. believe
that whites are no better than negroes ;
others consent to negro suffrage and equali.
ty for the purpose of securing negro votes
to perpetuatc their party in power.
The Democrats hold the ordinances of
secession void and of no effect from the be-
ginning; that the States are not out of the
Union, and that the military power of the
rebellion was all that needed to be crushed
out, and that SO soon as that was done and
the people of the South submitted to the
lawful authority of the Government the
governmental machinery of the States res
pectiycly and of the Union of all the States
collectively should move on as they did be-
fore rebellion took place
The early restoration of the Southern
States to equality in the Union will cause
their rich soil to produce in abundance,
make the people large exporters of pro-
ducts, re.estabish commerce, and make the
people of the south able to, and cause them
to assist in, the payment of the heavy taxa
ton necessary to diminish the public debt
and pay the interest on it; thereby prov
ing a great advantage to the tax payers of
the North.
The policy of the Republican party leaders
is to hold the Southern States as conquered
provinces. In this they have two objects :
First, to compel the people to embrace the
doctrines Of Northern radicals; secondly, to
keep the South from sending in Members
of Congress and Of the United States SEN
ate who would probably vote with the con
servativcs The action of the Republicans
in this matter acknowledges the power of
State to secedc; admits dissolution of the
Union, and contemplatcs government Of
force instead Of one based on the consent of
the governed.
Viewing these matters in their true light
has led many Of the most intelligent aud
honest Of the opposition party to give their
support to the Democratic ticket. Men all
over the State, who are neither held by the
cmoluments Of office, nor bccloudcd with a
ianatical love for the negro, acknowledge
the soundncss Of the Democratic party on
these questions and will vote with us. We
might name number who have recently
dropped out Of the thinncd ranks of the OPP
position in this county, among whom are
some Of the most intelligent and energetic
men the opposition had

Eennsyivania Election.

The Pennsylvania State election takes
place on the same day with Oho--on the
second Tuesday in October. State officers
are to be chosen, and Legislature, upon
which depends the choice ola United States
Senator.
The Republicans are getting alarmed, and
already see indications of crushing defeat.
Colonel A. X. MCCLURE, the late Chair
man Of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, and editor Of the Chumbersburg
Exporter, says:
Immediate and thorough organization
only Will save Pennsylvania this Fall Our
opponents are well prepared for the conflict
They will poll their full vote. In the north
east they will do quite as well as last year
In the southern counties-those south
OF the Junlata and Susquehanna and cast of
the Alleghenles, we can not materially i'm
prove the October vote of last year 1t is
possible to reduce the crushing majorities
of Y ork, Cumberland, Adams, Fulton and
Bedford ,OO0 but more is not to be ex-
pccted-less may be the result
philadelphia must fall off essentially in
her vote, because the vast manufacturing
for the army has been almost wholly yarrested
ana thousands OF Government employees
and operatives on Government work of va
rlous kinds, have been scattered in other
channels of industry over the country. =
Their reduction must diminish the large
Union majority of last year from $500 to
5000, and the adjoining county of Delaware
can scarcely fail to be. similarly affected by
the same causes.
The success of the Union ticket depends
wholly on the organization and full vote of
Lancaster, Dauphin, Somerset, Bradford,
Susquehanna, Tioga, Erie, Crawford, Law
renee, Indiana, Allegheny, &c. If these
Union strongholdS shall be Systematically
and thoroughly organized and polled, we
shall carry the State by decisive majority.
II they fail, as they did last year in October,
the State will inevitably be lost. Z"
We imagine that there is little doubt that
both Pennsylvania and New York will 90

Then Saw SO.

General Cox is fully aware that many
men who have heretofore acted with his
party believe him to be in favor of negro
suffrage and will not vote for him ON that
account.
If the General is opposed to negro suf-
hfage he can very easily say So He has
had large number Of letters addressed to
him by soldiers, asking his views on that
question but he has Indignantly refused
to reply to them.
Gen, MORGAN says he is "opposed to ne
gro suffrage now, in future, and under all
circumstances, If General Cox was as
candid with the people, whose suffrage he
asks, as he should in all honesty be, he
would be equally explicit in announcing his
views on that or any other matter called in
question.
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1865-09-28
why the soldiers should vote
the Abolition Ticket.

The Seneca AdoertiSer says the Republi-
cans can truthiullyigivc the following reasons
why the soldiers should vote with them:
lSt. Did we not fight the "Copperheads'
IN your rear, and cut the coupons off your
Bonds to do so2
I'd. Didwc not reinforce your ranks with
negro troops and sint we now trying to
place them on an equality with you2
3D. Did we not say that those who arc
good enough to fight with you are good
enough to stand on the "Union" Platform
with you?
4th. Did we not lay that if we had not
put the negroes in the ranks, we never would
have conquered the rebels2
9th. Did we not say that the returned
soldiers should have all the Offices when they
returned from the field and do we not now
give them to thc-civilans?
9th Did we not call all those who would
not vote for the negro equality candidate,
traitors and "copperheads p
9TH. Did we not promise to sustain vol,
in the field, and did we not do so by cursine
the "Copperheads' and swindiing you out
of your bounty money! .......
Sth. Did we not call your colored COM
radcs in arms ''men and brothers." and are
we not now trying to make them such {?
9th. Did we not say that we were for
the negro before white men, and are we not
now working for the accomplishment of that
| object?
10Th. In fact, did we not say that all who
were not willing to fight for the negro, were
traitors and secesh ? Ofcourse we did.

sherman and SChenCk.

The contest at the coming election in
which the Republican politicians feel the
greatest interest, is whether JOHN SHERMAN
or General ScHENCK shall be United States
Senator. SCHENCK seems to have the favor
of the Washington managers, who are pack
lug the legislative nominations for him all
over the State. The Washington cores
pondent Of the Cleveland (O,) Herald, Re.
publican, says:
Against John Sherman the people of
Washington are a unit. Any people that
have had Government pap as the denizens
of this city have since its foundation, have
no great affection for a man who has some
motives Of economy in Governmental ex-
penditure
