serve. dismiss il to general contempt, as
one of the lies by which slavery, the great
est lie of all, has been recommended to weak
persons who could be deceived by names
But you will not fail to remark how nat
urally slavery fiourished among such con-
genial people. Convicts and wretches who
who had set at naught all rights of prop
erty and all decency, were the very people
to set up the revolving pretension of "prO-
perty in man."
CONFLICT BETWEEN SLAVERY AND LIBERTY
come back to the postulate with which
began, that the present war is simply
conflict between slavery and liberty. This
is plain statement, which will defy con-
tradiction To my mind it is more satisfac-
tory than that other statement which is
often made, that it is conflict between ar
istocracy and democracy This in a certain
sense is true but from it's generality it is
less effective than more precise and re-
stricted statement 1t does not disclose
the whole truth for it does not exhibit the
unique and exceptional character of the
pretension which we combat. For centu-
ries there has been conflict between ari-
stocracy and democracy, or, in other words,
the few on one side have been perpetually
striving to rule and oppose the many. But
now for the first time in the worlds annals
people protesting civilization has COM
menced war to uphold the intoerabe pre-
tension to compel labor without wages, and
that most disgusting incident, the whipping
of women and the selling of children.
Call these arlstocrats or oligarchs if you
will but do dot forget that their aristoc-
racy or oligarchy is the least respectable Of
any ever attempted, and is so entirely mod
ern that it is antedated by the Durham bull
Hubbnck, the short horn progcnitor of the
oligarchy of cattle, and by the stallion
Godolphin, the Arabian progenitor of the
oligarchy of horses, both of which may be
traced to the middle Of the last century
And do not forget that, if you would find a
prototype in brutality, you must turn your
back upon civilised history and repair to
those distant islands which witnessed an
oligarchy of cannibals, or go to barbarous
Africa, which has been kept in barbarism
by ali oligarchy of men-stealers
LIBERTY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
Thus it stands. The conflict is directly
between slavery and liberty. But because
slavery aims at the life of the republic, the
conflict involves our national existence; and
because our national death would be the
despair of liberty everywhere, it involves
this great cause throughout the world And
yet would not for one moment lose sight
of the special enemy; for our energies can
be properly directed only when we are able
to confront them. Give me to Sec" said
the old Greek and this must be our eXpla-
nation now

THE WINDOW ON THE PORCH.

How came the window open on that
stormy morning? 1t was the old, old story,
the story of young hearts and old heads
Two young people falling in love with each
other; Il person in the shape of father
disappointing the lover poor, the father
rich the girl divided between duty and af-
tection for her parent and passionate tend
rrness for her lover and Love triumphing
in the Iong-run as he generally does.
This was why the parlOr window stood
wide open that stormy morning for at
twelve the night before she had come down
to him, wrapped in white furs and Grim
son hood, and had sobbed, "Oh, Cha rles,
am very, very wicked, and unless Pa for
gives me God never will 7" which theOlogi-
cal statement Charles combated bravely,
and proved beyond doubt Ito his own
heart at least) that there was no harm in
marrying whom one loved
Trembling and sobbing softly, though
there was no danger of being heard amidst
the gusts Of wind and the creaking of the
bare elm branches, she let him lead her on
tendery over the soft snow until a dark OBJ
lect under the trees slowly developed itself
to their eyes as a sleigh and two horses,
and an old driver, who had been beating
his arms against his breast to keep himself
warm, helped the lady in, with gruf' sort
II sympathy. And away they glided, the
black horses before them, and the white
snow about them, falling softly, softly over
them, and Janet's head living upon Charities
breast, and her little fur-clad form nestled
close to his. They We're foolish little peo-
pie. but not wicked, whom those black
1rrbir ln ,t,bi
mems altar that bitter winters night so
long ago
When they found that balcony window
open i'll the gray mornings dawn, and found
also penitcntial letter blotted with tears,
and an empty bed, the pillows of which
had not been rumpled pursuit was useless;
for Janet Grey had promised to love, honor,
and obey Charles Oliver, and he had vowed
10 love and cherish her until death did them
part.
Forgive them-never !" SO passionate
old Robin Grey vowed, with many an ex-
pIetive not TO be written here Forgive
her The serpent warmed in his bosom to
sting him at last. From his heart and his
home she had gone forth Of her own free
vii, and an exile from both she must re-
main forever.
Poor Janet, she had loved her father dear
y Poor old man, he had no one on earth
but that pretty petted daughter, who had
about as much idea of the life before her as
baby might have had
She had married a sailor, second mate of
lhe Boanie LaSsie, who made voyages to
The East Indies and brought home cargoes
oi spices and swcetscented woods and fruit
ana rare confections, but who did not al
ways bring home those who went with her;
NJ IN those warm latitudes fevers are rife,
ana many sailor in his hammock shroud
Lag 'IS Hoated from his moorings to the Spice
stands while at home many young wife
"'s watched for the good ship which should

ON GATHERING WILD ROSES.

The flowers that in our pathway spring,
These are rejected
The blessings every hour may bring
These are neglected
But blossoms blooming up on high,
Beyond our reach, against the sky,
For these We pine, for these we sigh.
To seize some tempting distant spray,
Waving above rs, far away,
We crush what in our footpath lay.
Those common things, we heed them not
To be despised is sure their lot,
Tnfes but made to be forgot!
But oh, those lovely far-off things,
To those, to those, my spirit chngs!-
Oh, had | but an angels wings.
To soar away beyond the earth,
Beyond its woe, beyond its mirth,
And triumph in a heavenly birth!
'Tis thus we yearn and strive in vain,
Crushing our pleasuees into pain,
Till they can never bloom again.

WINTER WILL NOT LAST FOREVER.

WINTER WILL NOT LAST FOREVE
Winter will not last forever;
Spring will soon come forth again,
And, with flowers of every color,
Deck the hillside and the plain.
Lambs will soon in fields be sporting,
Birds re-echo from each tree
Winters gone! its days are ended!
We are happy-we are free!'
Hedge and tree will soon be budding,
Soon with leaves be covered DER:
Winter cannot last forever;
Brighter days are yet in store.
Sorrow will not last forever,
Brighter times will come again,
Joy our every grief succeeding,
As the sunshine after lain.
As the snow and ice of winter,
Melt at the approach of Spring
So will all our cares and trials,
JOY, and peace, and. comfort bring.
When the heart is sad and dropping,
Think, though you be vexed sore,
Sorrows cannot last forever
Brighter days are yet in store.

AS predicted by US, prior to the firing Of the

PEELED to sGccomb to the Federal authorities
Would to Heaven that our entreaties had been
Listened and needed unto Oh, what an amount
of bloodshed would have been spared Our
sunny south, instead Of to-day being wrapped
in mourning and devastation, would be cheer
full and prosperous. But now, as peace again
reigneth over our land, let US forget the past;
all return to their domestic pursuits, and use
every recuperative energy in their power to re-
trieve our lost position Let our federal gov
eminent, which, We think, win be the case, be
lenient to us, give us our constitutional rights,
and the people will, in future, prove good cit

Our town has presented the appearance, for
several days, of city, the streets being crowded
with people, each receiving a portion of the
public crib. We hope the spoils will soon be
exhausted, and citizens and soldiers return home
to peace and quiet. One gentleman took the
liberty to come into our office and lay claim to
some of our indispensables to the publication of
paper, as public property, and shouldered it
up to leave, but we were compelled to challenge
his right, and after relieving himself of his
burthen left at double-quick, we retaining the

squads, hurrying home to enjoy its comforts
once more, satisfied with a war-faring life, and
returning to the more peaceful pursuits in life.
They all seem to have as much property with
them as they can take care of properly. No
one has been killed or hurt, and the great mass
of the people are retiring satisfied that the
public property has been distributed. All are
equally free, the general having no control over
his subordnates, and the common soldier claims
equality with those who have been exercising
authority over them; all distinction dispensed
with, and equality restored What blessing

REsToRATIoN-Th New Orleans Times states
that 1.-THE great work goes bravely on. It will
be seen, by reference to our special Mobile dis
patches, that the Alabama State officers, and
the officials of counties and cities in that State,
are rapidly subscribing to the oaths of alleg-
lance, and that this movement towards future
peace, security and loyalty, is participated in
by many respected citizens. This is as it should
be. The sooner the people of Alabama renew
their allegiance, the better and more rapid will
be their progress, We want good citizens now,
snd welcome each fresh accession with Joy,
There is new pledge for the revival of pros
perity in every name that is subscribed to the
oath of allegiance"

The New Orleans Times, under the caption
of Mutual Forbearance," says:
1T is too much to expect that the people o
the southern States, who have sustained the at
tempt to overthrow the authority of the nation
al government, can divest themselves, in a mo
ment, of the peculiar ideas which have beer
generated under the influence of secession. II
Is not unreasonable to believe that we shall
coon see them returning to the exercise of their
duties as citizens, nor is it folly to hope for
their return to sincere loyalty to the constitu-
ton and laws of the United States These
Southern people are not deficient in intelli-
gence. They will be disposed to make the best
Of their position. Having failed in their oppo-
sition to national authority, they will not sit
down in despairing, sulen idleness. We be-
lieve that We shall see, and that before any very
ulation in the South as any Northern State can
show. A little of mutual forbearance; little
of friendly allowance on each side; DISPOSE
ton to make the most Of the future and pres
ent, and to forget somewhat of past bitterness;
some general adoption of broad, catholic gen
erosity, will develop strong fraternal feeling
among men who have grievously differed on
matters of vital Importance. We ought all to
remember that our real interests are identical;
that it has been decreed that we are to remain
fellow-eitizens Of the same great nation, and
that we can accomplish more for the general
veal BY encouraging the spread of mutual
kindly feeling than by an opposite course. We
must be honorable. We must be charitable
We can become friends again.
1.-THE two armies have learned to respect each
others valor. The officers and soldiers Of the
Confederate and Federal services have, since
the end Of hostities, placed before the civilians
on either side a splendid example, in the evil
denees they have again and again manifested of
hearty mutual esteem. All sensible people re-
joice at this.
Hundreds of returned citizens arc taking
the oaths of allegiance and amnesty. Our streets
are crowded with once familiar faces who have
been long and unhappily absent from US. Let
us welcome back these, who were our old
friends. Let us give them cordial greeting
They will not be the less ready to work with us
for the restoration of business, prosperity, aye,
and loyalty, because we do not look coldly on
them. Let US, together, make the future
bright, whatever the past has been.

There is abundant evidence that the interest
taken in our affairs on the other side Of the
Atlantic is little less intense than that felt at
home. When the news of the capture of Rich
mond reached Helsinborg, Sweden, the mer-
chants, at public meeting, adopted the follow
ing address to president Lincoln;
To THE President OF THE UNITED STATES
The members of the municipal corporation and
tho merchants and other inhabitants of the town
Of Helsinborg-the gentlemen as well as the
lades-have resolved by reclamation, at public
meeting, to congratulate you most heartily on
the fall Of Richmond and Petersburg, and to
give expression to their feelings of sincere res
pect for your person, and their gratitude to you
for your noble eIertions in the cause of liberty
and humanity; but above all for the abolition of
slavery. May God bless and preserve you and
