To warm them at the wood hrs's blAIei
And thanks untraced to lips unknown
Shall greet me like the odors blown
From unseen meadows newly mown,
Or lilies floating In some pond,
Wood -fringed, the wayside gais beyond;
The traveller owns the grateful sense
OF sweetness near, he knows not whence,
And, pAusiDg, take with forehsads bare
The benediction Of the air. -

The Nmtion,s new Year.

The Nations New Year.
ssThe King is deadl Long live the Kinsr
This fawning paradox they bring,
In lands beyond the sea,
As tribute from one monarch's bier
To sweeten to another's ear
His newborn majesty.
So wc-but with no thought to fawn-
I ooking from midnight unto morn,
With solemn voice exclaim:
sSThe year is deadl and, Live the yearl
The storm hath fed! The sky is clear!
The past is but name!"
The year that flushes into birth,
With rosy morning over earth,
Hath potent, deep and true;
In many q sense, to US, at least,
This year, now trending from the East,
Is gloriously newl
New, that it comes not girt with steel,
Nor resonant with battle-peal,
Nor stained with blood and tears!
But smiling through the parted mist,
In robes Of gold and amethyst,
This heaven-sent child appearsl
New, that long-severed hearts it brings
Together, with peace-oferings;
Rekindles hearths long cold;
Treads olden superstitions down, 0n.
And crowns the future with crown
OF spiritual goldl
s'The year is deadl" then, chant we here
AMI still again, go live the yearl"
And may its light increase,
Till not alone DER us it shine,
RRt shed the splendor, all divine,
OF Universal Peace!

Comments on the Veto.

New YoRK, March 18.-The tone Of the morning
papers Oh the veto, is as follows:
The Herald says The veto exhibits this bul as
the most fragrant device for overriding the reserved
rights of the States, in their legislative aud Judicial
tribunals, ever attempted in Congress 1t appears
one thousand times worse than the treedmen's bill,
and the veto marks the impossible barrier between
the President and the ruling radicals of Congress.
Henceforward, there can be no party endorsements OF
Congress coupled with professions Of adhesion TO the
ADMINISTRATION
The Tribune says Let us thank Mr.. Johnson
that his veto is so sweeping. He might have phrased
cunningly, but he has chosen TO let US know that not
this particular bill, but any measure whereby Con
gress shall attempt to protect the blacks against white
abuse, must encounter his determined and deadly
opposition"
The Times says The logic Of the veto is SO keen
and searching, and so Irresistible, that We should
hone even the strongest advocates Of this measure
will see how vastly important it Is that the veto
power should exist, and how important, also, IN IA
higher sense, that ii should be entrusted to the Presi-
dent so endowed with judgment and most uncommon
courage"
The World says The veto is conclusive that the
conflict between the President and Congress, admits
Of no compromise"

The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1866-10-26

We find, in the Quincy Herald, oommu'
niostion in regard to large mass meeting in
Clayton. Adams county, on the goth, address
sed by Judge Thompson, Capt. Pepper, SIR.
Chittenden and others. We clip the follow
ing, in regard to Judge Thompson:
Judge Thompson was next introduced to the au-
dience. He said he wished 30 annouce that the
Springfield Journal informed him that Gen. Grant
had declared that he would not support any person
or persons who were rebels in 1851 hence that knock
ed John A. Logan's brains out. Judge Thompson
read letter written by Col. Harding Judge Thomp-
sons opponent) to the Quincy Wing, bearing date
of Jany 18th, 1866, declaring the states out OF the
Union and by said act lost all their social civil and
political rights. Judge Thompson handled this let
ter without gloves. He enters upon the subject in
earnest appealing to various records of congress- IN
the shape of resolutions and enactments, all claim
ing them as states and declaring the is not wag
ed with the least view of conquest or subjugatOn.-
Still prosecuting the subject further he appeals to
the proclamation of President Lincoln at every step
apd stage of the war; and his various letters to
of eminence, both in England and America, and to
other of statesmen who pillars OF authority
and amid all this array of testimony dis
covered them out of the Union, until the rump
gress found out the mighty fact He proved en-
phaticaly the states were never out of the Union
could not get out, and the audience believed it,
too. Hence Gen. Harding's statement falls to the
ground harmless, creating other sensation than
that of scorn and contempt. How Gen. Harding can
tell his constituents he is not in favor of negro suf
frsge when he voted establish it in the District OF
Columbia and in the territories of the United States
making that clause of their constitution when adj
united. Judge Thompson spoke an hour or upon
the various questions before the people lie was lis
tened to with profound attention by all present, and
left the stand amid applause.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1866-10-26

These are all the Communications that pass
e d, on the subject. and they should, in our
opinion, be sufficient to satisfy all reasonable
people of the following facts:
LIST. The committee used every effort to Sc
cure the attendance of Col. Dickey and had
his promise that he would be here-and none
had the slightest doubt about his coming IN
til the morning of the meeting.
I'd, That Col. Dickey honestly intended to
come, until the terrible storm which swept
over Indiana and Eastern Illinois, Sunday
night, Frustrating houses, and killing people,
when, in his feeble state of health, he was
not able to do so.
These, we think, are the honest facts in
the case. If others think differently We can
not help tive have put them in possession
of all the information we have on the subj ect
and we think it establishes the facts claimed
