benefited in the long run by any inc
quality or any injustice, the South as
well as the North ought to ratify this
amendment. 1t involves, it is true,
temporary surrender of a portion Of
the political power now enjoyed under
the Constitution; but that surrender
would be more than compensated by
removing an injustice which, so long
as it exists, must be the fruitful source
of sectional discomfort, and national
discord
The third clause Of the amendment
declares certain classes ofpersons who
took responsible part in the rebellion
ineligible to office until relieved there
from by two thirds ofCongress. While
the power of Congress to participate in
to the exercise Of the pardoning pow
er, or to prescribe qualifications for To-
cal office in the several states may be
open to donbt, none can rest upon the
substantial justice of this provision, SO
far as Federal office is concerned. Men
who have waged war upon the govern
ment cannot complain Of any wrongin
being excluded for time from person
ally sharing it's authority and power
And the time when they may thus be
readmitted is within the wise discretion
Of the Government itself. This is Who'll
ly different question from that admit
ting tates to representation, as it touch
es only the question of the character
and qualifications Of the persons by
whom those States may be represent
ed; and in this respect the amendment
is not unduly harsh or severe. AS it
originally passed the House this clause
excluded everybody who had taken any
part in the rebellion, or given it aid
and comfort in any way, from voting
until after the next Presidential elec-
ton but this was changed in the Sen
ate, and as it now stands is not open to
serious objection.
The fourth clause simply forbids the
payment of the rebel debt, and is not
opposed by anybody; and the fifth on
ly gives Congress power to cary the
other provisions into effect-a power
Congress would probably possess in the
absence Of such specific grant.
The amendment now awaits the &C
ton Of the Legislatures of the several
States. It is just in itself, and it's
adoption, by remedying injustice and
providing for the public safety, would
do much toward tranquilizing public
sentiment, and preparing the way for
the more speedy restoration of peace
and harmony to all sections of ou1
common Union. 1t is greatly to be
regretted that all the States were not
represented in the Congress by which
it was proposed; but it is submitted to
them all for their consideration and ac-
ton. Nothing would conduce more
to the public peace than its speedy rat
ification, especially by those states
which are to be most directly affected

THERE rs NO DEATH.

There is no death! The stars 60 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shows
To golden grain or mellow fruit;
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
TO feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
The leaves may fall and fade away
They only wait, through wlntry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An Angels form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them ''dead."
He leaves Our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice whose joyous tone
Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the trees of life.
And where he sees smile so bright,
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world Of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With Joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life--there is no death!

The Decay of Conversation.

The ancient art Of talking is failing
into decay. 1t is an ascertainable fact
that, inproportion to an increased amt
Of population, the aggregate bulk of
conversation is lessening. People
nowadays have something else to do
than talk; not only do they live in such
hurry that there is only leisure for just
comparing ideas as to the weather, but
they have each and all gross quantity
to do, which puts talking out of the
question. If persons remain at home,
they read; if they journey by raj, they
read if they go to the outside, they
read we have met misguided indi-
viduals out in the open fields with
book in hand; young folks have been
seen stretched underneath trees, and
upon the banks of rivers, pouring over
pages; on the tops of mountains, in
the desert, or within forests-every-
where men pull printed sheets from
their pockets, and in the earliest, latest,
highest occupations of life they read
The fact is incontestibly true, that
modern men and women are reading
themselves into comparatively silent
race. Readingis the great delusion Of
the present time; it has become sort
of lay piety; according to which, the
perusal Of volumes reckons as good
works it is, in word, the supersti-
ton Of the nineteenth century,

Raymond on the Constitutional
Amendment.

Amendment.
The following article, coming from
the man who wrote and reported the
Address of the Fourteenth Of August
Copper-J ohnson Convention, in which
the amendment was assailed and the
Southern States called upon not to rat
ify tits perhaps the very best argument
in favor of that amendment that could
be presented to inquiring minds. We
commend it especially to those who
have been misled by Mr.. Raymond S
first false logic. He is now himself
again, and writes doubtless the more
freely because he believes that he can
carry the Pres ident with him:
From the New York Times, September
"a, 1861
There IS not the slightest difference of
opinion, so far as aoe are ayare IN the u
MON party, and verg little anyacAere else,
as to the scisdom Gratifying the Constitu
,tioeol amendment proposed By Congress.
1t received every Union vote in the
House, and is sustained by every Uni
on journal throught the country. The
only point upon which differences do
prevail is as to the policy Of making
it's adoption condition precedent to
the admission of representatives from
Southern States.
The objects sought to be attained by
this amendment are important and de-
sirable. The first, which clothes with
the equal civil rights belonging to
citizenship all the native-born in
habitants of the United States com
mends itself to every mans sense of
justice and of public policy. It was
the worst feature ofslavery that it kept
a large class ofpersons outside the pro
lection Of the law and now that slave
ry has been swept away there is no
shadow of excuse for perpetuating this
worst of all it's wrongs. We trust the
Southern states will make speedy pro-
vision for extending the full protection
of the law over their enfranchised
slaves in common with all their people
but aside from this, there are many rea-
sons of justice and property why the
National Constitution should make this
guarantee universal and perpetual.
The second clause of the amendment
is designed to remedy an inequality
which now exists in the enjoyment OF
political power. It was decided by the
trainers Of the Constitution that popu-
lation and not voters should constitute
the basis of representation, and this
ceases to be the wisest rule only when
large masses Of the population are ex-
cluded from suffrage in some sections
Of the country and not in others. Then
it becomes an element of inequality and
injustice. A voter in the one sec.
ton has double the political power o1
a voter in the other. This inequality
exists to-day between the Northern an6
Southern States, and it ought to be cor
rected This would be true if the ques
ton had never had anything whatever
to do with the rebellion-or if the inc
quality were in favor Of the North in
stead of the South. Every man car
see that it is unjust, and the Souther1
states ought to see it as well as tn.
J Northern. And as no section is to b,

"MY POLICY"
BY U. 8. FELLOW, B. B.
Which, being interpreted, signifies United
States Fellow, Boys in Blue."l

The Union heads were falling fast,
When from the nations White House
passed
A man who bore, spite all advice,
VETO with this queer device,
MY Policy"
His breath was bad, his tongue was foul,
But ready, like tutored owl;
And, like a brazen trumpet, rung
The accents of that worn out song,
MY Policy"
In Southern votes he saw light
Of White House fires cleaning warm and
bright;
But Union votes could not be won,
Not even by the well worn groan:
'My Policy"
g Try not your plan," the country said,
" Disunion clouds are over head,
Its torrents still are deep and wide,"
And loud that brazen voice replied,
'.My Policy"
"Oh stay" the Patriot said, 'and rest
Your head upon the country's breast;"
No tear stood in his cold gray eye,
And still he said without sigh,
My Policy
beware the traitor, never dead,
Beware the awful Copperhead,"
This was his best friends last ''good-bye; ;
A foice replied, mid much old rye,
My Policy"
Th' ensuing fall, as, hand in hand,
The loyal voters Of the land
Marched fright in 'front.'" to use theirright
A plaintive voice cried through the night
s'My Policy"
On Wednesday morn, a rebel hound
His dead, defeated patron found
Still gasping in his hand of vice
That veto with the queer device,
my Policy"

Sheen the Best Stock.

Without doubt sheep are the very
best stock with which to enrich land by
pasturing They range over the whole
field and refuse hardly anything. Their
manure is scattered in the very best
form it could be applied as top-dress-
ing. If they frequent the knolls where
the grass is sweet, they also enrich
them, and they choose for their resting
places at night, and therefore fertilize,
the highest part of the field. If de-
sirable, flock may, with little trouble
be nightly folded on the poorest spots
Of the field. In hot weather they will
frequent the shade of trees, but from
such places the accumulated manure is
easily scraped up and distributed to
other parts. And the farmer who is
mainly grain grower will find no stock
more profitable and convenient for all
his purposes than sheep.-American

Andrew johnson and the People


No idea advanced by the President,
in his speeches has been made more en-
phatic, none SO often repeated by the
President, as that he is a firm believer
in the people, and intends to study, and
be governed by, their wishes
We know not what ground there is
for saying that Mr.. Johnson proposes
now to support the great issue decid-
ed by late elections, VIZ: the Constitu-
tional amendment-yet certain it is
such course would be the fulElment Of
his oft reiterated promise. A more
distinct issue never was made; a fairer
test of political question never was
had. So completely did the Constitu-
tional Amendment, as adopted by Con
gress, engross the people, that side Is
sues, local questions, personal prejudi-
ces, and personal partialities, entered
less into the canvass than at any polit-
ical campaign with the memory Of the
oldest politician An election is often
carried upon an impulse springing from
some new and sudden questions. And
the far sighted statesman may see in
such decision but a political spasm,
which surely needs but time, and sober
reflection, to produce reaction. But
in this case the question upon which
the election hinged, was one that has
directly occupied the attention Of the
people for more than ten months past.
Congress labored with that question,
in all it's bearings, eight long months,
and the debates upon it make library.
Every newspaper had that question, for
it's staple during the entire past year,
while the matter of reconstruction, out
of which the Constitutional Amend
ment sprang, has borne its heavy weight
upon the minds ofthe thinking portion
of the people ever since hostilities ceas-
ed
President johnson must see all this
and more. He knows that very re
spectacle portion of those who voted
against the Union party at the late
elections, not only did not oppose that
Amendment, put advocated it, and
some claimed their opposition to the
Union party was based upon the fact,
that that party was not pledged to the
Amendment, but wonld demaud fur
ther terms Every honest Johnson
man-that is those who from the Uni
on ranks espoused the Philadelphia
movement, was in favor of that Amend
ment, and none but the war foes of Mr.,
Johnson had the face to oppose it.
While, therefore, we cannot say our
confidence is strong that the President
will accept the decision of the people
and acquiesce in it, surely two things
are certain. One is that Mr.. Johnson
in every speech he has made since his
Inauguration has avowed his determin-
alton to be governed by the voice Of
the people, and the other is that the
voice Of the people is III favor of the
Constitutional Amendment.-Hera
