And all these will pass away.

And all these will pass away.
Power will not be centeraIized much
longer.
Rich men will pay taxes on their bonds,
or their bonds will be repudiatcd
The hdbeas Corpus will be restored
Military authority will be abolished.
Civil tribunals will again don the white
robe.
Slavery will not die by the hand of
man.
Negro suffrage is toothless dog,
The home for Mrs. Lincoln will pass
away, and in less than a year that lady
can walk the streets in calico, unknown
aud unmolested, and those who wept so
over the death of her Abraham, would
not fll her reticue with cold vituals If she
should beg from door to door from Spring
field to Boston And if she were in a
cart drawn by negroes, her appeals would
be naught in twelve months,
How the views dissolve
How the fashions change
The nation, like the prodigal son, is
returning home. And all the trying hours
of the past will soon seem like night
mare, but buried in curses oil dupes and
victims.
Stand firm, Democrats, and see the
views dissolve

Returned Soldiers.

J
and gentlemen, il we may use the expires.
sion, were sending mittens, flannel shirts
religious tracts, abolition newspapers and
election tickets to the ''poor soldiers. -
The mittens and flannel shirts were all
right The religious tracts were all right
and were very handy for the soldiers to
have at certain times. The Abolition
newspapers were all right, for they were
loaded 10 the muzzle with denuncations
against Democrats and their mission was
to incite mobs, personal violence and
hate for all who differed in opinion with
the editors thereof. The election tickets
were all right for they wero lists of the
names of the loyal towards, who dared
not go to war, but were willing to stay at
home, get in office, and assess taxes on
the property of soldiers in the field to
raise bounty that their precious selves
might be safe. OF course this was all
right, for it was sanctioned by the great
and good Lincoln, and the only means
certain poverty stricken laborers in this
worldly vineyard had to obtain living
and dress their families in stylish rameut,
or pay for beer, tange-leg whisky, or for
the support of the shiltless editors who
would die but for the charity bestowed on
beggars.
1t seems but yesterday all this was the
order of the day. Men wrote letters tc
the dear soldiers aud enclosed election
tickets.
Pretty girls sold kisses for fine cents
and embraces for a higher sum, all for The
poor soldier. Men and women cried aloud
"give or be damued!" "Coutribute or b.
spotted !" Endorse or be mobUed !!
and the poor people gave.
Now, the soldiers, loot-sore and weary
come home. The men who have followed
the echoes of the cannon dowp the gate
of hell. The men who hath bathed thei
feet in the blood of their comrades, ,as they
followed the glitering, flashing sabre VI
to shake hands with death. The men who
were food for powder and ball, for sabre
and bayonet, for horses hoois aud the tire
of artillery wagons. The men who were
prayed for by hypocrltes, and preyed up
on by army contractors, suffers, aud th'
guerrillas of Heaven known as army chap
laius, are now coming home. They comt
footsorc and weary. They bring dirty
looking bundles strapped to their backs
Their clothes are travel-stained, and lhci
eyes wander hither aud Ihthcr in Searcl
Of their once earnest friends!
They sit on sore steps, and in ale,
ways, eaating crackers, cheese, raw pork
and hard bread. They have toyed will
death as boy cracks whip. They ha7'
dared the devil, the works of hell, REBEL
ion and abolitionism, that negroes ant
Office holders might grow sleek and pros
porous. They have been TO war-the.
have returned, and the ones who wer
once so loud in the praise of the soldier
now pass on the other side Of the street
Girls give no more kisses. Hot coffee
sweet cake and religious tracts are no more
1t is thus aboltiouism shows its gratitude
Damn such selfish hypocracy.

Letter of Col. John p. Linton.

JoHNsrowN, PA, August 30, 1865.
GENTLEMEN:-Yo Your favor of the 25th
inst, officially informs me of my nomna-
ton for Surveyor General "by Democratic
State Convention which assembled at Har-
risburg OIL the 24th inst.," has been re-
ceived.
Not only was this nomination unsought
and unexpected OH my part, but if | had
been consulted beforehand | would have
urged my friends not to Introduce my name
before the Convention. Any hesitation
however, in now accepting, might be con-
strued into a want of appreciation OF The
distinguished honor conferred by the Con
venton, or want of faith in the princi.
pies promu gated by it. certainly feel
neither. The Importance of the position
would have been my chief reason for not
soliciting it, and the resolutions adopted
are but practical application TO existing
oxigencios of those cardinal principles OF
Demoorac which l always copscientiour.
ly maintained.
Accepting ,therefore,t this nomination and
its responsibilities, | remain,
Yours truly,
JNo. p. LINTON.

Adams Fall.
views dissol

A iavorte temperance lecturer down
South used to relate the following anec-
dole to illustrate the iEfencc Of bad eX
ample to the formation of habits, luminous
in their effect.
Adam, and Mary his wife who lived in
the old States were very good members
ol the church good sort of folks anyway,
quite industrious and thriving in the world
aud Mary thought oil a good glass of tod
dy.
Whenever the minister called to make
Mary a visit, which was often, she con-
trived to have gl ass of good toddy made
and the minister never refused to i'm blbe
After while Adam got to following the
example OF the minister to such an extent
that he became drunkard- drank up
everything he had, and all he could get.
Mary and Adam became very poor in
consequence of his following the minister's S
examamplo SO closely; but the good min.
i,er continued still to get his glass Of tod
dy. One day he called in and told Mary
he was going away for"a week-should
return on Friday-and handed her book
containing the catcchism, and told her
when he returned he should expect her to
answer the questions. Mary said yes, ,and
laid away the book carefully. But Mary,
like a good many others forgot it until
the very Friday that the good minister
was 10 return. What shall [ do? said
she, the minister is to be here 10 day, and
[ havn't looked in the book he gave me !!
How can | answer the questions ?
Il can tell you, said Adam, give me a
quarter, and let me go over to Smith s
and get some good rum, and you can ans
wer him with glass of toddy.
Mary took the advice, gave Adam a
quarter and jug and of he started. Af.
ter getting his jug filled, and on his way
back, Adam concluded to taste the rum,
One taste followed the other, until he
stumbled over pile of rocks and broke
tho jug and lost all the rum, Adam man
aged to stagger home.
Soon as he got into the house Mary asked
very anxiously for the jug Of rum,
Poor Adam managed TO stammer out
that he stumbled over pile Of rocks, and
broke the jug and split the rum.
Mary was in fx-Adam drunk-the
minister comiDg-the rum gonc-and the
questions unlearued. But here comes the
minister 1t wont do for the man oi
God to SEQ Adam drunk so she for want
OF better place to hide him sept him un-

But, MIR. Editor, this is only one of tho
many barbarous and treacherous acts
which were pfacticed on prisoners by
these scoundrels, and which l intend to
make public as soon as l can devote my
attention to them.
l make this assertion, and challenge
refutation to tho same, that the manner in
which the prisoners of war were tire atod
at Fort Delaware was fully as bad and
cruel as, it is charged, aud which l be
liovc was SO, the Union prisoners were
treated at Andersonvllo. This will
prove ere long, by giving fair statement
oil the facts d. FLANAGAN.

Home and Friends.

oh there's power to make each hour
As sweet rs Heaven dcsignedit it;
Nor need we roam to bring ii home,
Though few there be that find it,
We seek too high for things close by.
Aud lose what Nature gave US
For life hath here no charms so dear
Us home and friends aroundus.
We of destroy the present JOY
For future hopes-and praise them;
VIII LIST flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raise them
For things alar still sweeter are
When youths bright spell hath bound Us;
But soon were taught that earth hath naught
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time ofnCed.
When hopes last reed is shaken,
Do show us still that come what Will
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
From friendships alter crowned US,
'Twoul prove the bliss Of earth was this
Our home and friends around us.
