Farewell, dear Sallie, fare thee we'll,
That thou art gone is true;
Though, in the shining courts you dwell.
We've wept- still weep for you.
The angels there, with deep-toned harps,
Bent from the heavenly dome,
And shouted, as she ehered there:
"Behold she comes, she comes"
She came to ion the blood-washed band,
From doubt, and pain, and woe;
She came to share these heavenly courts,
Where sorrow is no more.
Here not q cloud shall shade her brow,
Her eyes ne'er shed a tear;
No anxious doubts can pain her now,
No sorrowing hearts ar e here.
She came to meet long severed ones
ALI are united now.
She came with wreaths of gladness twined
Around her beaming brow.
She came with rapturous songs of Joy,
She came, with gladness home,
While angels tune their harps anew,
And shout: "she comes, she comes"

New York on Negro Suffrage.

This state gives to colored people possessing
freehotds the right to vote. In 1876 the amen
ded constitution was submitted to the vote of the
people, together with separate amendment air.
u.g the negro the eective franchise acttout Ibis qral-
yfcation. John Young was the wing, and Sias
Wright the democratic candidate for governor
The result was follows:
Majority for constitution 1877 697
Majority for Young, (whig) ....... -. ,572
Majority against negro suffrage. ..... 1871, $50
In 1860, when Mr. Lincoln was elected 20 the
presidency, the question of negro suffrage was
again submitted to the popular vote, with this
res nit:
Ior Lincoin. SO Il SO
Majority against negro suffrage........ 14o, 4sl
The republicans, on both occasions, shirked
the question, and the masses of their party voted
against IL. In 1857, the question will again be
submitted, and most probably with the same re-
suit. Yet leading politicians advocate the en-.
iorcement upon the south of a grant of suffrage
TO It's just emancipated slaves, which they deny
to NEGROES trained in half century of freedom.
