friends fondly hoped was for the protec

nounces as an instrument of oppression
to the already oppressed race.
We copy one Of its lugubrious para.

home, and they give him the right to
go to the penitentiary if he steals. He
wants bread, and they propose to give
him the right to vote. They have bro

they are utterly Incompetent to fix up
any other. The law cant make men Of

If the workingmen were educated to
ala complete understanding Of their true
9 interests, there would be no such cleo
,ase tions as in this city and at Adrian. They
would elevate their own banner, as Al
"a Marine City, and by virtue of superior
- numbers, carry it to Ultimate victory at
the polls. If we would have more such
men in Congress as Niblack and Rogers
we must seek them in our ranks; they
are not to be found among those who
make fealty to POLITICAL organizations
their first duty.-Detroit Daily Union.
No one will more highly relish the
asa above joke of the Union than Mr.. Nib.

the country tk=s could not turn out a
more intelligent and respectable Con-
asss gresham than Rogers, of New Jersey,
we would publish it as standing dis.

The The civil Rights Bill.


The Republicans appear to be ap-
preaching the final action upon this bill
rather gingerly. Gloomy doubts Cypress
them as to their ability to carry The
measure over the veto.g They have failed
in 'their New Jersey trick of expelling
Commodore Stockton, in the expectation
Of getting 4 Radical ia bis place, and
Messra Dixon and Wright, though both
seriously i'll, are in Washington, and will
be carried TO the Senate chamber to give
their votes. This, tits believed will pre-
vent the passage Of the bill over the
Presidents veto. 1t is now stated that
the vote may possibly be postponed until
after the admission of Colorado, which will
give two more Radical Senators,
and enable the Jacobins to- pass the bill.
Was there ever great nation on the
face of the earth so trihed with and dis
graced By its Legislative Department.
Only a few days ago the Radicals reject
ed the application of Colorado ofsdmis.
sion with disdain; but now, when the
votes of the two Senators which can
thus be obtained, can be made to SUBJ
serve the destructive schemes of the
Jacobins, il is proposed 10 admit her.
Before the vetoes Stockton's claim to his
seat would have been admitted, but so
soon as it was sascertained that another
vote was wanted, he was expelled With
out scruple, although the committee
appointed to investigate bis claim had
reported in bis favor Such contempt
IDLE trickerY and time-serving expe-.
dients cannot fail to bring the Radical
party into contempt. bat the danger is
that 1t will bring the country to that
condition before the party can be, as it
viii ultimately be ignominiously driven
from the pisces lie leaders now disgrace.

Talk like the above is refreshing,
coming from men who spent the greater
part of the last Eve years ia trying to
destroy the Government and break up

structed rebels is positively stunning"

They, with the gold to give, doied nun our sh'er'
So much was theirs who so httie alloweu'
How ali our copper had gone for his service!
Rags-were they purple, his heart hal been PROUD!
We tSat had loved him so, followed him, honored him.
Lived i'm his mild and magnificent eye, s-..It...
Learned his great language caught his clear accents,
Made him our pattern to live ana TO die!
Shakespeare was of ms, Milton was for us,
Burns Shelley, with us, they watch from their
graves -l..f
He alone breaks from the van and the freemen
He alone sinks to the rear and the slaves
We shall march prcspering,-n through his pres.
ence;
Songs may inspirit us, not from his Tyre;
Deeds will be done,-whle he boas IS his uuiescence
Still bidding crouch whom the rest babe aspire;
Blot out his name, en,record one lost soul more
One task more declined, one more footpath untrod
One more triumph for devils, and sorrow for angels
one wrong more to man, ono more insult to God.
Lies night begins let him never come back to us!
Ihere would be doubt, hesitation and pain,
torced praises on part the glimmer of twilight
Never glad confident morning again. tii t- i
