Col. L. L TATE-Dear Su
Enclosed
please find So so, the amount of my sub.
scription to the Columbia Democrat. You
will please acknowledge the receipt Of the
same.
was always of the opinion that the
late civil war was commenced by Aboli,
tionism to break up the Union. The con-
tinual hostility of this fanatical party
to the Southern States, and people de,
nying them representation in Congress
after peace is fully established-com-
pletely confirms me in that opinion.
The Constitution as it was formed by the
wisdom OF our Fathers, was always dis
tasteful to them, and they mean if posi-
bic to break it up-aud l fear they will
succeed-The blunders, wickedness, and
fanatcism OF the day, seems to favor them
ia the establishment of their new nation
consolidation frst, limited monarchy
next, is where we shall land unless the
goodness of God shall inspire suaicien
patriotism in tho c hief Executive to
thwart their almost accomplished design
All at the present moment looks dark ant
gloomy for the future Of our once happy
Union. Most respectfully yours.

The Other Side.


We dwell this side of Jordau's stream,
Yet Oft there comes shining beam
Across from yonder shore
While visions Of holy th,ong,
And sound Of harp, and seraph song,
Seem gently waited DER.
The other side AM there's the place
Where saints IN JOY past times rctrace,
And think oftrials gone,
The veil withdrawn, they clearly SEQ
That all on earth had need to be,
To bring them safely home.
The other side No sin is there,
To stain the robes that bless'd ones wear,
Made white in Jesus blood
No cry fgrief, no voice of woe,
To mar the peace their spirits know
Their constant peace with God.
The other side Its shore so bright
Is radiant with the golden light
of lions city fair
And many dear ones gone before
Already tread tine happy shore;
l seem 10 see them there.
The other side Oh, charming sighti
Upon its banks. arraycd in white,
For mea loved one watts:
over The stream he calls to me,
Fear not ! am thy guide to be,
Up to the pcarly gates.
The other side His well. known voice,
Aud ar bright face. viii me rejoice
Wen meet IN fond embrace,
Hen lead me on, until we stand,
Each with paIm.branch in our hand,
Before the eaviour's face.
The other side The 9th r side
VINO would not brave the swelling tide
OF earthly tell and care
To wane one day. when life is past,
Ovorihe stream, at home at last,
With all the blessed ones there

.rn. Nex, Great Question.

A. aoon As the dislocations Of the civil
var are repaired, and the States that re-
helled brought into true relation again with
.he Federal government, We shall be COM
nelled to take up the question of free trade.
The following letter. addressed by an emf
mont citizen of Rhode Island-himself a
Nfe-,onp Democratic Major General DIX,
reveals the tendency of opinion in this d.
rection. The New York Eoening Post
cows that General DIX shares the senti-
ments so ably and earnestly expressed by
Mr.. PKLL:
WHERE SHALL GO:
A good Democrat of four years. standing is
Obliged to ask that question. The War DE.
mocracy, as an organization, IS now out OF
business. The surrender of Lee ended its vo-
cation. D
There is no great issue now Tor the Demo
cratic party but one-tree trade. Inc people
of this country will no longer endure the max
inc of the colossal fortunes by the manufac-
turers of the East, and by the iron and coal
men Of Pennsylvania. The tariff if not re-
pealed must be greatly mOdifed-the great
West will not submit to it with willingness
anv longer. The agricultural interest, the
great interest of the country, do not ask
to be protected. nor do they wish to pro
tect auy other interest; they merely ask
to be allowed to get what they want in
exchange for their product. without being
Obliged to put an enormous percentage OF the
price into the pocket of the already enriched
manufacturer; they want liberty, that is the
liberty of selling for the most they can get and
of buying what they want in the cheapest mar
ket they can find.
This is the issue-aHd the issue on which
the democratic party will succeed and in that
success will be removed the only substantial
ground of complaint the South ever had.
England, this year, shows an enormous gain
and great prosperity, and receives duty on only
six articles, and those are articles such as Tea
tobacco, &c, which she cannot manufacture
With great respect,
Your obedient servant

There are women who cannot grow
old-wOmen who, without any special
effort, remain always yOUng and al
ways attractive. The number is small
Ter than it should be, out there Is st,h
a sufficient number to mark the wide
difference between this class and the
other. The secret Of this perpetual
youth lies not in beauty, for some wO-
men possess 1t who are not at ali hand
somc nor in dress, f0r they are ire
OueDtly careless in that respect, so far
IS the mere arbitrary dictates Of fash
ion are concerned; nor in having moth
ing to DO, Tor these ever young wO-
men arc always as busy as bees, and
it is vory we'll known that idleness
will fret people into old age and ugli-
ness faster than OveTwOrk. The charm
we imagine, lies in a sunny temper
neither more nor less, the blessed gift
of always looking on the bright side
of life, and Of stretching the mantle
OF charity over every body's faults and
failings. 1t Is not much of Il secret,
but it is all that we have been able to
discover, and we have watched such
with great interest, and determina-
ton to report truthfulIy for the bene-
fit of the rest of the sex. 1t is very
provoking that it is something which
cannot be eorked up and sold for fifty
cents a bottle; but as this is impossi-
bic, why, the most of us will have to
keep on growing as ugly and disagree
able as usual-JeRRie June.

A man never knows what he is ca

There seems to be no bounds to hu-

hitherto unconscious power, rising up
TO grapple and to master, and after

Those circumstances, those friends,

Mother is Dead!

Mother is dead - What volume OF
thought do these sad words express :
What pen can bring forth the agony of
mind when this sad truth is realized.
The heart shrinkS back, and denies 10 in-
truding expression a knowledge Of its III
ward woes. The Imagination of another
fails to picture them and when we our
selves. who have sustained this loss. turn
our eyes inward for moment. TO glance
at the naked reality, we are won't to dis
believe it and repel the overwhelming
flood of sorrow, which ever anon, like
ocean flow to aud fro upon our hearts.
until exhausted we sink into lethargy.
from which when we awaken it seems As
If we ourselves had passed into another
world, IN which everything seems tinged
with an unnatural gloom.
1t is sad-it is very sad to know that
mother rs no more.
The sun will shine the birds will sing
the flowers viii bloom in seeming mock
ery. the same as before but there is a
void in the family her seat is vacant,
and as we gather around the family board
we seem TO deny the truth TO ourselves,
and listen as though VIC heard her com
ing foot-step. But alas. she comes not.
Mother is dead Away from our home
have they laid her in the cold ground
the clammy dew, damp of death upon
her brow. She is shut out of our sight
forever-forever Not. not forever: the
light of heaven filings brilliant hope over
our sorrows with its aid we can pene-
trate the darkest cloud of grief, and look
forward to the bright future with conf
dence that we shall meet again. With
its aid, death is not death it has not the
sting the world would have us think it
is but the transfer of the soul from this,
its transitory home to everlasting bliss :;
it il but the passage of the storm which
leaves the rainbow of hope to cheer its
blighted subjects.
We love to linger around Mothers
grave. and muse upon the happy past,
when she was with us. We love to think
Of pe merry christmas and other holi-
da, e. and although with the semblauce
OF Them is linked the sad truth that they

its tears open new wounds in our hearts
yet we are willing to suffer these pangs
that we may keep ever fresh in our mem.

With its birds OF song and its azure skies.
And its sOftening moon light hours;
And they say 10 the mHsico Of tinkling streams
Our lives may pass IN delicious dreams,
In this fairy world!
They tell us of social ties that bind
Warm hearts in a strong, pure link,
of flowers Of feeling and thoughts that bloom
On the stream of afieetiOn's brink;
And they'd lure US. too, to be charmed awhile
By the sunlight scenes and the witching smile
OF this lovely world
But its tempting scenes and haunts of bliss,
And flowers Of brilliant dyes,
Are types Of n fairer world than this,
0f a land beyond the skies.
Where birds nit gaily on pInions bright,
And ali Is glorious. for all u light,
In that upper world!
Away. away from this charming world.
From this land 1c g-aling dreams,
Our hearts Tsaeh out towards that tarer realm
