No tears we shed for thee, thou grand old year;
We part right merrily, with kind good night, "
Waiting with glad "good-morning" to receive,
The joyful coming of thy new born heir;
But in our hearts thy memory is shrined,
In costlier gems than gold and diamonds rare
Round the wide earth radiant zone entwines,
Whereon in characters ofliving light,
Thy name recorded stands, and Liberty.

that Mr.. Lincoln had Informed him that he
had had an interview with John B. Baldwin
Judge Summers, for whom special mes
senger had been sent, not having been able to

ing delegated Mr.. Baldwin-and had made
proposition that if the Virginia Convention
would adjourn sine die without passi ng the
ordinance of secession, he (Mr. Lincoln) would
take the responsibility of Withdrawing the
troops from Fort Sumter. Colonel Baldwin
declined to accede to the proposition, and did
communicate it to the Convention the next
morning. After hearing the statement, Lewis
prevailed on Baldwin to accompany him to
the house of Mr. Bolts. who repeated the
statement made to him, 10y Mr.. Lincoln and
asked him how in the name of God he could
take the responsibility of withholding the
knowledge of such an interview from the
Convention; to which Baldwin, looking at his
watch, replied, that it was then near the hour
for the meeting of the Convention, that he
had been there, and that be would see Belts
again.
The testimony gives many particulars reat-
ing to this subject which will be published in
