Respectfully dedicated to Mr.. & Mrs s. NIcRobers.
and they are married SO it is said,
Two fond, trusting hearts arc wed,
Wehaye seen the blush On the brides fair
cheek,
And heard soft words, such as lovers speak
There's a ring ca the finger, wreath On
the brow,
And eyes all bcaming with tenderness,
now,
Theresa bridal robe and garlanded hair,
A brow undimed by sorrow or care,
And the bride 81 oom is near, with whisk-
crs and curlg.
And a maustache, admired by ail the
girls,
There is tender clasping of hands,
Near to the spot where the minister stands,
A few short words and the deed is done,
That transforms two beings into enc,
The chain is forged-the golden chain,
That nothing but death can rend in twain,
Friends crowd neutrality-suspicious. are
sald,
ALd blessings are siowcrcd on each young
head.
Tnen, cut of respect to the newly wed,
4 sumptuous feast for the guests, is spread,
And the jest goes round, and all arc gay,
lis day of rejolcing---a redding dag!
Light laughter, and light words, of pleas
ure tell,
And music, too, lends its mystic spell,
Enjoyment Is written on every brow,
Care cannot enter our circle now,
No cloud, the social horizon mars,
Where the bride and the groom are the
central stars,
Friendship here offe RS its kindliest boon,
And wishes them joy in their honey moon,
And ne rack our braintor an appropriate
phrase,
Containing blessing for oil their days,
And yet, in truth we ear say no more,
Than simply to wish with q lady of yorc,
Yhat''Virtue and truth may attend them
in youth,
Al d catnp and sage cheer up their old age.

| rHE SOUTHERN REPRESENTA-.
TlVES.

The Hon. G. G. Lsnglon, Represen-
tative from the Mobile District, and
withal gentleman Of ability and char
acter, has addressed to The Mobile
Register and Advertiser letter, dated
at Washington On the 4th inst, in
which, after revie wing very forcibiy
the action of Congress upon the admis-
sion of the Southern Representatives,
he states that he has come to the con
clusion tA&t the Southern States will
be deprived Of representation during
the whole existence Of the present Con-
gress.
The motives which, in his opinion,
control the action Of the Radicals are
50 clearly and wei stated in his letter,
that We quote that portion of it;
'The motive cf all this is perfectly
transparent. The Radicals are anxious
to pass certain measures, and among
them amendments to the Constitution,
las I stated in former letters for the
double purpose Of consolidating their
own power, and also as further punish
ment Of the "wicked rebels" Were
they to admit the Southern members,
all their we'll laid schemes would be
certainly dcfeated-especially all those
which require q two-thirds vote
while, if the Southern members are
kept out, the Radical majority in each
House, is sufficient to enable them to
carry all their measures, bidding def
ance even to the Executive veto, for in
stance: parties, in the Senate now stand
thirty eight Republicans, eleven Oppo-
sition and one vacancy (from Iowa.
We will give the vacancy to the Re-
publicans, making their number thirty
nine. Admit the twenty-five Senators
from the Southern States, and parties
will then stand, thirty Republic.
ans and thirty-three opposition. No
two-thirds vote for them here. And
besides, there are three Senators class
ed as Republicans who will vote for
the opposition on all extreme measures
Of the Radicals. These are Messrs.
Cowan, Doolittle and Dixon, and this
will make it tie in tne Senate
Republicans and 36 Opposition. So
the admission Of the Southern Sena-
tors would deprive the Radicals Of their
power in the Senate. And this is rea-
son enough for keeping them ont. In
the House, parties now stand: 1873 Re-
publicans to IS Opposition. Admit
the So Southern members and the Op-
position is increased to 93-making it
impossible for the Radicals to carry
any measure that requires two thirds
vote. This view Of the case satisfac-
torily explains why it's the Southern
members are not admitted. 1t is pow

Our Washington correspondence.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25, 1865.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25, 1865.
Christmas Day has come and nearly gone
The weather has been bad-cloudy above
and muddy below but the occasion on the
wholehas been cne of fenjoyment-quieth home
like enjoyment-if indeed anything in Wash
ington can car be said to be home-like.
We hear much about prospective rupture
between the President and Congress. There
is nothing in it. Men may differ rs to de =
tails but the great object to be attained is
perfectly understood and earnestly sought Gor
by all patriotic men. Mr. johnson has but
one object in view,-. the speedy and complete
restoration of the States lately in rebellion to
their Constitutional relations. In this object
he will be warmly seconded by Congress.
Those who want to make political capital
upon the proposed rupture between the Exec
ntiye and the Legislative branches, will fail
in business. 1t has been hinte6 here, that
the Democratic party was shortly to come in
to power by means of Mr.. Johnson-they
uniting with him, and letting the radical
Congress 60 tc grief in its own way.
Here where the pulse of political parties
can be felt, it is painfully evident that the
once glorious Democratic Party can never be
revived by Mr.. Johnson-or anybody else.
These statements misrepresent the Presi-
dent He is progressive, patriotic and sens
ible. Itis his earnest wish to accof1plish as
much in the interest of civilization and hu-
manity during his administration, as possible
He may make haste slowly but his movements
are all in the right direction. If he does not
do all that might be done-he is not the first
who has not.
It is desirable that nothing unduly oppres-
sive should be indulged in at present even
though it might be well deserved, and no
sane man believes that Congress will impose
one condition that should not, and that can
notbe complied with. The difference between
Mr.. Stevens and those who oppose him, is
merely technical, and can easily be reconciIed.
Our real danger is in the financial ruin
that must follow our present extravaganza.
