The Declarations OF the president.
At time like the present when the mind

try, and when the fears OF many are excited
whether the end of constitutional Republic
is not drawing near, and new character of
Government grown into existence, where the
will of a. majority Of Congress will be the su-
rrcn,e law, and where this will have no other
restriction, save its own exercise of authority,
it is gratifying to know that the hand at the
helm is firm and true, land that the utteran ccs
Of the President arc for the mantainance of
the public liberty and the enjoyment by every
State of its full political rights and immunities.
His late assurance to the delegation who
visited him from the Democratic party Of
! Pennsylvania, composed Of the members of
the State Executive Committee cannot but
prove ensinently satisfactory. These gentle
mon offered to the President their hearty sup
port amid the present grave and perplcxing
state of affairs AS d part of the voice of tile
country, they had come to express it on behalf
of his policy of restoration, AMI to uphold his
hands and stand by his administration. The
President said, g If you cou,e to me as pnt ri

offer, but if as partisans only, it ismorc doubt.

then went on to explain his views.of the po-
litical situation, in frank and eloquent terms,
and especially in reference to the plans of re-
construction whicl,ho had inaugurated.
1t may, .shcrefore, be fairly dcduced tint
the Executive having adopted his sentiments
in reference to the equality Of the States as to
their rights of representation as well as Of leg

POETRY.
WEEP ! WEEP /!

ny A. LADY OF SAVANNAH.
Weep weep! for fnllen land
For O standard sheet laid. low
Freedom is lost let every heart
Echo the note Of woe!
Yea, weep, ye soldiers weep!
'TwilLnot your manhood stain,
TO mourn with gricvous bitterness,
Honor and valor slain.
Weep! friendlcss woman, weep!
For the golden days of yorc;
For the dcsolate homes, the aching hearts,
The loved ones now no more.
Bra,ely they fought and well,
That noble hero band;
'Bravely they fought, and bravely they diod,
TO save suffering land. L.
Our Southern soil is red,
With the blood Of many slnin;
Like sacrifcial wine it fell, N
But the sacrifice was vain
Peace smiles upon our land,
Oh, God! that it should be
That poacc should smile Ger freedoms grave,
And we the smiles should see.
Let Southern men now take
A long farewell of fame;
Let Southern men bow moekly down
To tyranny and shane.
Great God, that such should live.
To hail the fatal hour
That crushed freedom in the DUST
Meath Northern hate and power
But many patriots heart
yet thrills at the i8ar.G G od's breath; {.
sAndFinnny still wodld bdttle on, !,
For freedom till the death.
Weep weep! but not for those
That lie beneath the sod;
For they eternal peace have found
Around the throne of God.
Peace! Peace! 'Tis but word,
A mockcry in a name;
Alas, oh God tits but the wreath
That hides the tyrant's chain.
But if this must be,
And freedom meier be won,
TAe,is Father, give us strength to say
Thy will on earth be done.

Canadian Historical Research.

The Quebec Mercury is severely ciass.i
newspaper, which fourishes at the head OF It's
columns line from Virgpj Georges, czhiDi.s
the Lion and Unicorn in conhectlon W.
post Office notices, and displays winged Mercu-
rv at the head of its editorial column, In the act
of falling On whales back, in very tenpes-
mons sea. On looking again, it occurs to US
that the round hump in the cut may have
been intended for the whirling world and the
snnnosed surges for clouds and mist-but "'tis
very like a whale" AS the Mercury is repre-
scented third longer than the diameter
of the earth, which is well known to be some
thing more than 5000 miles, it will be seen
that the editor Of the Mercury newspaper con-
siders it a-what shall we say-a very big
thing! 1000
Now we maintain that a Journal of such
pretensions has no excuse for school-boy blum
ders In matters of recent history pertaining to
this continent A paper which sports eleren
cuts of tne British coat-ofarms, like the num-
Der new before US, is of course loyal all over
But loyalty furnishes no excuse for blunder-
ing misrepre sentation of the facts of history.
Here, however, is what the Mercury says about
the "Patriot War;: ,..,-.....1 !
Mr.. Seward was Governor of the state OF
New York when the brigands OF 1o3I-3S IN
yaded Canada from that State, armed with
weapons, and supplied with artillery taken
from armories purposely left open to them !;
for weeks they were encamped near the from
tier, fed and supplied with money; and so tar
from Governor Seward attempting to stop the
movement, be did all he could to obstluct the
dllatory action of the Federal authorities. He
and his government are no more to be trusted
tc-lay than then. BNg ssail.oa lG1c lilnDpl
We have only to say by way Of comment,
that Mr.. Seward became governor of New
York in 1889; that Governor Marcy in 1888
accompanied General Scott to the border; and
that both State and General Governments
worked harmoniously and faithfully to allay
an excl ement which originated in Cinlda an |
had been au ynented by Canadian ac.s of yso-
lence.. General Scott is witness whose
knowledge and veracity are alike unimpeach-
able. We have given his version of the affair,
as set forth in his Autobiography" In con-
clusion, we desire to remind the Mercury that
this talk about "brigands' comes with no very
good grace from the people who sheltered the
robbers of st. Adams and the pirates of the
Chesapeake. -1f 3''1s e saA -n'.hJ

Senator Salisbury, of Delaware, appeared
upon the floor OF the q. s. Senate one day last
week 30 beastly intoxicated that two Senators
in mercy to him and to the Senate, removed
him from the Hall. We care not toy what par
ty such Senator is attached, nor how many
personal qualities for praise he may possess;
the guilt of such conduct should exclude him
forever from the seat he poilutes, for next to
rank treason it merits expulsion from that
body, prompt and unconditional. The Senate
owes this measure of vindication alike to the
country, and its own dignity and sense Of pro-
priety. - 2" Gas eS-A AAA SVuTAd
