ANDERsONvILLE.
DEDICATED TO PRESIDENT JoHNseN's DISTINGUISHED
FORTRESS MONROE GUEST

In the storm of battle taken,
Where our gallant comrades fell,
When the gray old hills were shaken
With the thunder of the shell,
We were driven like dumb cattle
To the dreary prison shed,
And the wounds received in battle
Like the lips of Pity plead
In that vestibule of He'll.
Plead in vain for draughts Of water,
And the surgeons tender care,
How the work Of human slaughter
Cried vengeance from the shuddering air!
The earth gave her softest pillows,
To those who crossed lfe's rough redoubt,
The vast graveyard's sea of pillows.
Show how wrecks were foated out,
On the black waves of despair
There they sleep without headline,
without the record of a name,
But when they fell upon the ''dead-line,"
God crowned them with His stars of fame;
They were happy, but the living
Suffered protracted death:
Famine to the grave was giving
Her command with wasting breath,
Where the sun turned red with shame.
In the prison doomed to linger,
Weary weeks that seemed like years,
Where Death lifts his bony fingers,
And the telescope of tears
Shows future like the present,
Filled with sorrow and despair,
Where sweet hopes were evanescent,
And the dead were everywhere,
And all our hopes were lost in fears.
No shelter but the heaven, STOPPING
In pity with its sun and moon; .
No visitor but Death whose troopng
Angels turned our hearts to stone:
No blankets in the coolest weather.
We were doomed to starve and freeze,
Herding like dumb beasts together,
Crawling on weak hands and knees,
Starving in filth at Murders throne.
Light shone through our hands, upright
In humble and in holy prayer,
But dark clouds of sorrow drifted
Over hearts crushed in despair;
Can we forget the greatest sorrow
That ever fell on human lives!
Its shadow comes with each tomorrow,
Like a ghost whose shade survives,
Snreadine its dark wings in the air.

How far the Democracy Endorse
PreSiS1 emf Johnson.


Since President johnson has cut loose
from the radical, disunon wing Of Con-
gress aud they find they cannot mould him
into any and every shape they wish to, and
in short because they cannot make tool
OF him to carry out their disunion and ne
gro-equality schemes, they have turned up
on him with the ferocity of tigers, denoun-
cling him as being every thing that is de-
testable and loathsome, while he is a ''trai-
tor, copperhead, disuuionist, assassin" and
anything else that happens to cross their
frenzled brains.
In their raving they attempt to make
the democratic party responsible for all pc.
political acts, simply because as between his
policy of reconstruction and the disunion
policy Of abolition Congressman, the dem
ocrats endorse the policy Of the President
The President has, however, done many
thing, during the last few years and since
he has taken the Presidential chair that
the Democracy do not endorse. They do
not claim him as their President, remem'
berinc as they do that they did all in their
power to defeat his election. He was put
on the abolition ticket for the purpose Of
catching Democratic votes, he once having
been Democrat, but when they though,
they were setting snare for Democrats
they were in fact setting the dead>fall that
is to crush and bury their fanatical party
out of sight, we hope Let them blame
themselves and not US.
The issue between the President and
Congress arc the issues before the Ameri
can people for decision at the coming cleo
ton, and as long as he stands out SO firm
ly aud rcsolutely against their dangerou.
and degrading policies, the Democracy viii
uphold and sustain him, but should he
change or yield to radicalism, then the
Democracy, will no longer endorse him.
They give honor to whom honor is due, y
even if the person may be found in bad
company.

ND knOvv-nOthinS and Modern
Abolition Impotence.

The impudence of the old defunct know
nothlngs, who are now he ring,lcaders OF
the abolition d.sunion party, the chief Of
whom Is Schuyler Colfax of this Congress
sIonal District is unequaled by anything
that has ever fallen under our notice as a
chronicler Of political events. These very
men, who ten or tyelve years ago did their
utmc st todsfranchise all foreigners, today
ask the n, with unblushing impudcnce, to
exercise the elective franchise in their ia.
vor. and iCr the advancement Of their DO
litical dogmas
because Irishmen and Germans can to-
day have voice in our government. and
exercise all the privileges of citizens. they
should not feel themselves under any obi
cations toany ofthese political demasosues
for if they had been successful in their
know nothing schemes, the foreigner would
have been mere cipher in our land now
They ask this class Of citizens to support
them at the coming election, for the sole
purpose OF carrying through the Constitu-
tonal amendment, which gives to negroes
all the rights Of citizens Of the United
states, and of the States wherein they re,
side All men who think they are better
than negro, should cast their votes for
the Democratic candidates, especially for
State Representative, State Senator and
Congressman, tor they alone are the de
lenders OF the white maD's superiority and
OF the rights of foreigners. Some of these
hypocrites deny that they are in favor OF
negro suffrage, and SO they once denied
being abolltIonists but they now glory in
the name. A few years ago they would
arrest Democrats a"d drag them of to some
OF their loathsO., .stiles, for simply tel.
ling the truth when they called the war an
Abolition war" while the abolition OF
slavery is the main thing accomplished by
the war, unless the aboIitionists should be
returned to Congress and then we will have
permanent dissolution Of the Union unless
the southern States accept the degrading
dogma ofnegro equality and negro suffrage.
Let all good men shun aud refuse to sup
port these demagogues aud fanatics, who
so'day, are the only objects that stand in

of the Union.

House OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
March 22d, 1857
MIR. f. SCHILLER:
have just received your letter and am a
little SURPRISED that you did not send me
statement of how many illegal KnOwnothing
votes he had imported into the district from
Mr.. Daggy or Mr. Pctro rs | suggested to you.
have heard from some friends in Mr.. Will
son district that you W ere there at the election
and consequently could not have voted for
me, MIR. COltax seems to be a little jealous and
Schiller seems to have god more Oh his hands
than he could get through Without as Mr..
Wilson perhaps paid him most for importing
votes into his district than Schuyler did for he
importations into his district 1T IS not ut all
strange that Schiller was in Wilson's district
on the day of election. Money was what he
was after and the largest poll Knocked the
perscimmon. Mr.. Colfax goes on tosty but
as Mr.. White says it seems as though White
was begging" for Schiller, and acting as cor
responding secretary, perhaps, for MIR. Dag
gy or Mf. Petro, You are in needy clrcum-
stances poor boy send you the encloscdnot
y
didn't send him the statement but rs little
relief to friend in distress
Yours Respectfully,
SCHUYLER COLFAX.
This man Schiller was at that time and
is yet, no doubt, the bosom friend of Coli
fax-an acknowledged ballot>box stuflcr
and paid tool Of the Abolition party, who
will doubtless again be hired by Colfax
and his party to steal away the liberties Of
the people by stuffing the ballot boz aud
importing illegal voters. 1t is time the
people were aroused and it is satisfaction
to know that the change now going on in
the min@, Of the people will ere the ides Of
October next, sweep like an avalanche over
the country and hur from power those
who have misreprescntel them so long
Some of the leading aboltionists here
are endeavoring to make an agreement
with the Democrats that there shall be 30
disturbance at the joint discussion at Plym-
outh on Friday. There is no necessity for
this. If the Abolition fanatical fools will
behave themselves all will be we'll. Dem>
ocrats never raise disturbances. They are
law abiding men and will only engage in
anything of the kind to defend their per-
sons and property. Tearing down Demo-
cratic banners, moIbng Democratic news
papers, arrestins Democrats for political
oflenses is about played out" These
things are little jokes % the past. Dem
ocrats now propose to say what they please
to carry such banners in their process
sion as they choose and to do generally as
may seemeth good unto them. They ac-
cord the same privilege to the opposition

a Democratic meeting was held at the

OF pleasant and harmonious character.

upwards Of an hour aud 4 half referring
particularly to the int, ests of the soldiers
in the approaching election, and their

On last Saturday e. ii. Resve, Esq
addressed full house Of attentive listners
at Poplar Grove school house, in Union
township, upon the political issues of the
day. He handled in an able manner, first,
the proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton, showing clearly that it means negro>
suffrage and negro equality in AL respects,
if adopted. Ills appeal to white men to
vote it down was earnest aud We hope will
result in much good.
In the next place he spoke on the sub
jcct of taxation, showing how unequally
its burthens fell upon the rich and the
poor that industry and poverty are taxed
to pay the interest on bonds that are ex~
empt from taxation. Every man in the
country who is not able to hold bonds
should have heard his argument upon
tLis point Lastly, lie took up the tariff
question and showed how the present sys-
tenn Of tariffs Disseminated IN favor oil

against the producing portions of the
country.

The Hon Schuyler Colfax has so re-
gently and "terrificaly' fallen in love with
Tie rich Irish brogue" much So that
he devotes considerable portion Of his
lengthy speeches to the cause of Irish
FIRE edom. 1t may not be uninteresting at
this time to state for the information of
those interested that this same Schuyler,
who now Processes such a tender regard
for the down troddel sons of the Emerald
Isle" was, but few short years ago, an
active worker in the infamous Know-noth-
ing lodges, which were organized in part
to put down as he and his party then
called them-"Thc Red -Mouthed Irish, ="
and the Flat headed Dutch 1t has
been denied that Schuyler ever had any
connection with the Know nothing order,
but the testimony of j w Dawson, of the

to an article in the 7Olcdo Blade, answers

loyal convention has recently been
held at Philadelphia, which received the
unanimous commentator of the radical
press throughout the country, and which
fairly represents the spirit of the radical
party, at which the issue of negro equality
was raised and action postponed until after
the fall elections, though the sentiment in
favor of negro Suffrage was almost unani-
nous, and at which negroes and whites
mingled on perfect equality except that
Fred. DOuglass was received with more
marked consi lcration than any white man
present. The disgusting spectacle was
presented of a convention protesting to
represent a large class of people paying
homage to a negro, and granting him spe-
cial privileges, and the action of that con
vention is endorsed by the leaders Of the
radical party with public uuanimity, and
yet they claim that they are not in favor
OF perfect negro equality. The people
are not SO blind as to be deceived by their
professions, and none will vote with them
save those who desire negro suffrage and
negro equality.
