Am-Byzscs's 5 address.


Come listen to me while I sing
How Abe Lincoln would be king
And from the record will bring,
Just how the thing was done.
And first he gathered to his side
A host of lordings in their pride,
The ship Of state to help him guide,
And to support his throne.
With them council he must hold,
His aim and object to unfold,
And then and there to them he told,
= The part each one must play,
For now the time has come at last
For us to make our power fast,
The power we have began to taste
We viii not throw away.
A bloody war we win begin,
To live in peace would be sin,
Amid the clatter and the din,
istr, Well found our dinasty.
We soon can subjugate the South,
For thousands viii come pouring forth,
Well then with bayonets rule the North,
Who cares for liberty
With greenbacks we viii fill the land,
And give them with liberal hand,
Well make the niggers contraband
And then proclaim them free.
Thus some with money we will buy,
And others gain with honors high,
While some we II punish till the die,
This Is our policy.
You see that row Of little bells,
Each one to some official tells
Some copperhead with treason swells,
Go bring him forth to me,
I'll teach him how to speak his nind,
His story in silence | viii bind
Or for him / II a prison find,
Until he bows the knee.
What care we for widows woes ?
What care we for nations throes
Or care we that the Union goes, aei
:. To pieces in our sight
Let constitutions stand aside,
Opposing laws we H override,
And moving with majestic Stride
b Our word Is law and Ight
Alas alas, for human skill,
Man may propose, and man may will,
A Providence rules o er US still,
Though oft in mystery.
Thus Abe Eincolnin his pride,
Just when the good he had deserted,
By wicked hands he bled and died,
And lost his his dynasty.
From this lesson we may learn,
And from our hearts should never spurn,
Bit deeply let it blaze aud burn;
That this is freedom land,
That they who rule must rule by right,
Not by tyrants cruel might,
Or else they must expect to fight,
A noble patriot band.
For we VIII never have a king;
But to the constitution cling,
And God is with us in this thing
The God of liberty.
Let tyrants trcmble at the fate,
Of al who crash noble State,
For time or die at any rate,
The people wiz be free

LADIES SHOULD READ NEWSPAPERS
1t is great mistake in female education to
keep young lady's time and attention de-
voted to only the fashionable literature of
the day. If you would qualify her for con-
versation, you must give her something to
talk about-giye her education with this
actual world and Its transpiring events Urge
her to read the newspaper, and become fa-
miliar with the present character and inn
protements of our race. History is of some
Importance, but the past world is dead and
we have nothing to do with it. Our thoughts
and our concerns should be for the present
world; to know what it is and improve the
condition of it. Let her have an intelligent
opinion and be able to sustain an intelligent
conversation concerning the mental, moral
and political improvements of our times.
Let the gilded annuals and poems on the
centre-table be kept part of the time cow
cred with the weekly and daily Journals. Let
the whole family, of men, women and chill
dren, read the newspapers

BEWARE OF PAPER CoLLARs.-A Boston
paper has the report that clerk in one of
the wholesale stores of that city has lately
been afflicted with painful breaking out on
his neck, which be atfrst attributed to boils
but the matter getting serious, he applied to
a physician, who informed his patient that
he was suffering from the poisonous proper
ties of articles used in the preparation of his
enamelled paper collars which has been
absorbed into his system /; and upon inquiry
it was found that some half dozen other
clerks, all of whom wore these collars, were
affected In a similar manner:

TEE WORLD MOVES.

There is a class of the school of Northern
humanitarians,' . who, having pretty well
exhausted the question Of the negro, are
impatient for some new sensation Among
other things they are now organizing so
cieties "for the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails OF the abuses Of this character
complained Of is the practice of fsli-mongers
"who turn turtles on their backs, and run
cords through their fipperso This they de-
claim Noticeable. Mr.. BERGH, the Presi-
dent of this Society, in letter to one Pro-
fessor DRAPER, earnestly enquiries as to the
propriety of administering anestheties to 6eeUes
Ender seateaoeit Prof D. does not afford
him much satisfaction, and the New York
World, with cruel irony, declares that when
"BERGH's humane idea be realized, it will
be touching to see that respected person,
with the tears Of coincidence believing his
cheek, profering moral pocket-handker-
cher saturated with perflmed nepeEthe, to
the moribund and haItered victim, while
the directors Of the body, of which he is the
efficient head, throng round with mattresses
to break the final fall"
We shall look with intensest interest to
the progress Of this new sect Of moral

JOITN G. RRECKINRTDGE.


The Paris True Rehtackian has seen a gen
tleman who spent some time with JOHN c.
BREcKNRIDGE just before he left for Eu-
rope. BRECKINRIDGE was "in the enjoy
ment Of excellent health, and never looked
BETTER" and was Giving in modest style and
giving his personal attention II the educa-
ton of his children" The True Keatuckian
says: "The reports which have been circu-
lated Of large contributions Of money made
by his friends in the United States, are
wholly. untrue, or greatly exaggerated, for
we learn that the money upon which he has
been living since his sojourn in Canada, was
a few thousand dollars saved from his sala-
ny as Confederate General, and obtained in
gold in Cuba. The expenses of living in
Canada are comparatively light, as General
BREcKNEIDGE occupied neatly furnished
house, sufficient for his family and the pru-
dent entertainment of such friends as sought
his society, at a cost of only twelve dollars
per month. Other expenses of living were
at the same reasonable rates.

TORONTO, Nov. 13.-The court resumed its sitting
at 10 A. NJ, Hon. Justice John Wilson presiding.
Thomas School was first placed in dock, and mani
Tested the most stole indifference to the position in
which he was placed. The prisoners counsel put
in an affidavit certifying that two witnesses were
absent who it was believed would swear that the
prisoner was carried into Canada while in a state
of intoxicatiOn, against his will, and another wit
ness who would swear that the moment the Fe-
mans left he threw down the arms which they
had forced him to take up. The Crown allowed
the affidavit, and the case was postponed.
Daniel Whelin was next placed IN the dock.
He is q man of apparently about twenty years Of

The baltimore TmbrogIio.

BALTIMORE, Nov. l3.-Judge Barton has just
rendered his decision in the ha5eas corpus case.
He sustains the power Of Gov. Swan to remove
the Commissioners of Police. There was great
cheering IN the court room ON the announcement
of his decision. II eo-.-.-.......--.
His decision reviews the whole case. He says
the order Of Judge Bond. of the Criminal Court,
that parties be held to BAIL and in default to be
committed to keep the peace against the Police
Commissioners not to seek to exercise any of the
functions Of Police Commissioners until their
claims to said Office should be established by the
courts, was wholly unWarranted, and that the
Judge of the Criminal Court had no authority to
issue such an order. He reviewed the Code in re-
gard to Police Commissioners and decided that it
gaye the Governor entire power in the natter
that if, in his judgment, MesSrs. Woods and Kinds
had been guilty of official misconduct, the law
gave him power to remove them and appoint sue
cessors. That at the time Messrs. Valiant and
Young were arrested, they had been truly and
lawfully appointed Police Commissioners, and
that, clothed with the commission of the Govern
or. they were then truly in Office and empowered
to rightfully exercise all the functions Of the
same. in place of Woods and Kinds, removed, and
who had been eifectually notified of their removal.
The action Of the Governor was final, much so
as if the Commissioners had been removed by the
Legislature, and from his action there could be
no appeal.

TINE and again, since the Reconstruction
Committee dictated to Congress the consti-
tutional amendment and its adoption by
that body, we haYe discussed and exposed its
injustice, meanness and hypocrisy, and de-
monstrated that its engraftment upon the
Constitution would work fundamental al
teration in the form of government, and
place the liberties Of the people and the in
dependence Of the several States at the feet
of general government, possessed Of dan
gerous powers.
There is no feature Of the whole scheme
more revolving than that which presents it
to the States for ratification as an alterna-
tive Of exclusion from the Federal Union,
and the imposition Of pro-consular system
Of government for them. The idea of
amending the Constitution upon such a
principle is enough to start the revolution
airy sires from their graves. A State has the
right to ratify or reject a proposition of this
nature. A majority Of the States, in
temporary control Of the powers of
government have no right to offer
inducements to the former, nor pre-.
scribe penalties for the latter To do 50,
is to destroy freedom of action on the ques-
ton, and divest certain States Of every
attribute Of independent Statehood. It is
to abandon the Federal system, which, in its
very name imports a compact among equals,
and holds as its leading principle full con-
tracing power as belonging to each member
under the covenant This, however, was
formally proclaimed as the decision upon
which the Southern States would be permit
ted to have a voice in the discussion Of the
question. Ratify it and make these odious
provisions stigma and disability on the
most prominent class of your people, and a
yoke upon your necks, and you may have
representation in Congress. Reject it, and
we will withdraw every essential privilege
except that of paying taxes, and govern you
siernly, and as obstinate recusants. 1t is
difficult to conceive that men born and bred
in America since 1776, could seriously pro-
pose a measure so monstrous.
But the men capable Of making such
proposition, are capable of perfdy. The
Radicals do not intend to admit the Southern
States in the event of the adoption of the
amendment They will break faith under
the infamous bargain into which they are
attempting 10 drive the people Of the South.
They did admit this State when her usurp-
ing officials basely submitted to the black
mail Of ratification, and outraged a protest
ing ard indignant people in the act, butthey
did not intend that action as a precedent
II was was done as a matter Of policy. They
Immediately rejected. by heavy vote, the
bill accompanying the proposal Of the amend
ment which obligated the Congress to re-
admit the States as the price oftheir ratfca-
ton. They put it forward as a measure Of
reconstruction, and yet refuse to pledge
themselves to the restoration it purports to
accomplish and establish with guarantees.
Il is an imposture and an imposition. It
should not be considered by the Legislatures
longer than il requires TO write and record
resolution of rejection.

a LESSON PROV THE CmEROKEEs.


A letter from Talequah, Cherokee Nation,
incloses the inaugural message Of Hen. WIN.
p. Ross, who succeeds to the late JNo. Ross,
as principal chief The message presents,
in a succinct form, the condition Of affairs
throughout the nation. The havoc Of war
being over, the natives are advised to pro-
mote unity of sentiment and action, and in
reference to the treaty concluded in Wash
ington by the Cherokee delegates, last July,
the message says;
Your repeal Of the con6scation laws, and
enactment Of law providing for the resto-
ration Of the farms and Improvements on
real estate" sold under them, al period as
early a. seems 20 be 81 ell consistent with =
reasonable regard for the interests and con-
venienoe Of the purchasers, furnishes an
evidence Of the purpose Of the national
council 10 comply with the treaty, however
Onerous Il may be 20 their constituents, that
cannot Gail to meet the approval Of all rea-
sonable claimants. More particularly is this
the case when il is remembered that many

amicabiy arranged with the occupants, have

settled down among their former friends

Mn. CAMPBELL, our Muster to Mexico,
and Gen. SHERMAN, as his military adviser
have sailed for Vera Cruz. 1t is believed
that our relations with Mexico will occupy
a prominent position in the message of the
President, and that the mission Of these gen
tlemen is not for buncombe. It is said to
mean work, il on the arrival Of the S,isque-
hanna at Vera Croa, il is ascertained that
neither MACMILLAN nor the French have
leA, etc. Evidence is afforded that they do
not intend to do so without unnecessary de-
Law. There is reason 10 believe the Presi-
dent will recommend to Congress the most
vigorous measures to expedite their exit.
The state Of affairs on their arrival, if not
the preliminary action Of the mission, Will
probably be ascertained by Government in
time for the President 10 incorporate his
definite and decided Mexican policy in his
forthcoming message. az ,

THE BALTIMORE RADICAL CATE
CHISM.

Says the Baltimore Gazette, speaking of
the late election in that city:
At many of the precincts every possible
obstruction was thrown in the way of the
Conservative and great many were en-
tirely rejected, when offering their votes
after their names were found on the regular
list, but they were required to swear to
answer such questions as might be PROFOUND
ed to them, and some of the questions put
were of the most trihing and unnecessary
character. A gentleman in the tenth ward
had answered all the questions satisfactori-
ly; the question was asked, Suppose bat
tie was now going on between the Northern
and Southern armies, which would you de-
sire to be successful ?' That was a question
which the Judge had no right to PROFOUND,
and because the gentleman declined to
answer it, he was not permitted to vote.
In the eighth ward, the question, eff a
negro regiment was in front of Petersburg,
and in conflict with the rebels, which would
you want to whip?"
In the forenoon Mr. JoHN MCNULTY, col
lector for the Daily Gazette, presented him
self at one Of the precincts of the eighth
ward and offered his vote. As most Others,
he was required to swear, and as soon as he
had done so the judge called one of the men
Of Messrs. WoOD and HINDEs and handed
him a commitment TO take MCNULTY to
Jail. The thing was done so quickly that
those who stood near were satisfied that the
commitment had been already prepared.
Some of the friends of Mon. at once offered
to enter into bond for his appearance when
ever it might be required, but bail was re-
fused and he was hurried off to Jail. The
charge against him is treason, at least that
is the pretence upon which he was arrested.

Gen. Grant in BaItimOre-POIiee Conn

BALTrMoRE. Nov I3.-Gen Grant is in town to
attend the Horse Fair. He IS the guest Of Judge
Bond.
1t is supposed the new Commissioners will at
once enter upon their duties and renew their de-
mand upon the old board for the surrender of pO-
lice stations, etc. Messrs. Young and aliant on
entering their Office a few moments ago, were
loudly cheered by the crowd Judge Barton, in
his decision, says the orders of Judge Bond of the
Criminal Court. that the parties be held 10 bail.
and in default thereof to be committed to keep
the peace against the Police Commissioners, and
not to seek to exercise any of the functions of
Police Commissioners until their claims to said
office shall be established by the courts,
was wholly unWaTranted That at the time the
arrested they had been truly and lawfully ap-
pointed Police Commissioners whilst the decision
Of Judge Barton fully sustains the action Of the
Governor and condemns that Of the Criminal
Court il is virtually granting an injunction
against Messrs. Young and Valiant by the order
issued and discharged them from the custody in
which they were held In virtue of the commit
ment on such order the Judge decided that it was
competent for the Criminal Court to entertain the
charge alledged against Young and Valiant of
conspiracy by foreibly taking possession Of the
police stations and other property held by Messrs.
Woods and Kinds. Such charge was aninjudi
eial offence, and upon that charge theywere prop
erly held to bail.
Judge Baton said he would issue an order for
the immediate discharge of Sheriff Thompson,
and in the case of Messrs Y Dung and Valiant he
would discharge them from custody under the II
legal order of Judge Bond restraining them from
seeking to exercise the functions of their office as
Police Commissioners; but rs to charge Of cOnspi-
racy to break the peace, he would require them
to enter their own reeOgniZances to answer the
charge before the proper court.

WuTED.-During the election campaign
in New York last fall, the following amusing
incident occurred at a political meeting,
much to the discontinue Of spread-eagle
orator. He spoke with earnest gesticula-
ton, as follows:

that on the morning Of the 9Th OF Novem-
Der next, had the wings Of bird would
hy 70 every town-fiy 10 every village and
10 every hamlet, in this broad land, and
proclaim 10 every man, women and child
the success Of the party.
At this point small boy in the crowd
cried out; DRY up, yop-old fool, you'd
be shot for a goose before you few mile"
The stump speaker wilted, and small boy
took the floor.

IT is most gratifying to learn that there
are reported "Democratic gains IN Delaoare, T"
not sufficient, hover, we fear, to overcome
the Radical majority in the next Congress.
Delaware is a most heroic State; however,
for we remember at a National Conven-
ton" once, when all the large States had de-
serted General Cas-, suddenly very small
delegation from Delaware jumped upon a
bench and shouted: Mr. Chairman, Dela-
waresssficks to LEWIS CAsS:aad trW get In
him Bp By he drOlrHiag locks ="
As poor CAS- wore a wig at that time, the
idea Of Delaware pulling him by the hair
out of the slough Of despond produced a
roar of laughter, a shout Of "Hurrah for
Delaware" If there are Democratic gains
in Delaware" there is still hope for the ma
ton, and let US thank Con and be grateful
for small favors.-RichnioR Times
