UP IN THE BARN.
BY THOMAS LAKELAND.

Old Farmer Joe steps through the doors,
As wide to him as gates of Thebes;.
And thoughtful walks about the floors
Whereon are piled his winter stores,
And counts the profits of his globes.
Ten tons of timothy up there,
And four of clover in the bay;
Red-top that's cut, well middlln falr'
And bins of roots, oblong and square,
To.help exc out the crops OF nay.
A dozen head of cattle stand
Reflective in the leaf-StreWn yard;
And stalks are stacked on every hand,
The latest offering of the land
To labor long maintained and hard.
Cart loads of pumpkins yonder lie,
The horse is feeding in his stall,
The oats are bundled scaffold high,
And peas and beans are heaped hard by,
AS if there were some festival
At length Old Farmer Joe sits down
A patch across each of his knees;
He crowds his hat back on his crown,
Then clasps his hands-so hard and
And like a farmer takes his ease.
How fast the years do go y
1t seems, in fact, but yesterday,
That in this very barn, we three
David, Ezekiel and me
Pitched in the summer loads of hay!
David-he sailed his clipper now,
And 'Zeikie died in Mexico
Some one must stay and ride to plough,
Get up the horse and milk the COW
And who, of course, but little Joe!
I might have been-I can't tell what!
Who knows about it till he tries
might have settled in some spot,
Where money is more easy got;
Perhaps beneath Pacitics skies.
might have preached like Parson Jones;
Or got living at the law;
might have gone to Congress, sure;
l mil ht have kept a water Cure;
might have gone and been-oh,
pshaw
Far better is it as it is;
What future waits him, no man knows !;
What he has got, that sure Is his;
It makes no odds if stocks have riz,
Or politicians come to blows
Content is rich and somethin' more
think I've heard somebody say:
fit rains, it's apt to pour;
And | am rich on the barn floor,
Where all is mine that can raise.
I've ploughed and moved this dear old
farm,
Till not a rod but what know
kept the old folks snug and warm
And lived without twinge of harm
I don't care how the storm might blow.
And on this same old farm I'll stay,
And raise my cattle and my corn;
Here shall these hairs turn wholly gray;
These feet shall never learn to stray;
But l will die where l Was born"
And Farmer Joe pulled down his hat,
And stood upon his feet once more;
He would not argue after that,
But like born aristocrat,
Kept on his walk about the floor.

GUILFORD ERECT!

MEssRs. EDITORS - Old Guilford has re-
deemed herself and deserves to be placed
on the Republican record.
The Republicans doubted somewhat their
strength to succeed until the "Rebs" and
their allies brought forward their candidates.
As soon as this programme was announced.
it was seen Ivy little work the Republican
ticket could be elected. The work was done
as the polls have exhibited. The old rebel
aristocrisy has been pinned to the wall, de-
spite its boasting it had the poor qrhites''
and the black men under its power and in
fiuence and could rule the latter vote by
whisky; that the two classes were DEEPEN
dent on it and its means for their daily bread
| The Republicans have succeeded and they
mean to hold fast to their victory, and labor
| to augment it IN future elections. Rebels
look lank and sour. and occasionally spit
out their venom, but their slime affects no
body in the Republican ranks. The latter.
though dominant, have made no outward
show of rejoicing, but as sensible freemen
knowing their duty have simply perform
ed it.
Yet they are sensible of the great truth
that they have checked the advance guard
OF the enemy, and taken stand from which
| they mean never to retreat Freedom and
equality is their watchword Ethnologists
may war as much as they choose in regard
to whether the human race is divided into
three, five or eleven distinct species, the
monogenists have now the ascendencv over
the polygimists of the day, and mean to
test the truth or the falacy of the latter be-
lief in and through the principles and work
ings of the great Republican idea in Amer
ica Let Republicans then stand firm and
witness the day when this reform shall be
fully.but wisely founded, and established
4In of franT S.,u
| these rebel aristocrats, this theory will fail
and the black man and the white man can
never rule the same nation-that such a
thing will never work in this broad land
Let all things pass for what it is worth and
press to fill up the column of the Republi-
can ranks for the contest next November
But says one, the negro party has beaten
as in Guilford. Ha! ha! ha Says an
other, it is now evident that Adam was a
negro, but having turned pale in the
garden under a scare, and that the mis-
take has just been discovered that the
white man is the negro, and the negro is the
white man. Eth ell ell! Says another,
the "rads" have beat us, but thank the
Lord they can't confscate my forty acres of
land. Cause haint got forty acres unapA
amph Many things they say and do to
give ventto this hate to the government and
its friends, and to injure the Republican
cause. But their doom is unalterably fixed
and soon their funeral rites will be performed.
Republicans of North Carolina, the day is
ours Stand firm to the Republican flag
and see the salvation of loyalty, and the
punishment of treason. The loyal must
govern. Omitted we stand divided we fall"
| This latter you see in the Washington monu-
ment from Kentucky. 1t is poorly observed
| by that people. Stand firm to the end, Is
the duty Of all Republicans.

THE ELECTION IN NORTH CAROLINA

THE ELECTION IN NORTH CAROLINA
The election has passed quietly and resulted
iu favor of Convention, and of the Re-
publican party. The majority will be am
ply sufficient to control the Convention
Among the members elected are some of the
wisest men in the State and some of the
otherwise, some of the best men in the
State, and some no better than they ought
to be. Some of them are wise enough to
make us good government, and some are
good enough to sacrifice themselves for the
interests of their country. Some are too ig-
norant to know what is best, and some will
change greatly if they do as we'll as they
know. Some of the members are ministers
of the Gospel, and we earnestly hope " a lit
tie leaven may leaven the whole lump" The
people should remember that the hearts of
these men are in the hand of the Lord, and
that he turneth them whithersoever he will
All party feuds should be forgotten, and the
people should pray the Lord to endow the
members of the Convention with such heav-
emily gifts as will qualify them for the ire
mendous responsibilities resting upon them.

Congress-.

In the House of Representatives, on the
26th, Mr.. Baker, of Illinois, offered resolu-
ton instructing the Committee on WAYS and
Means to inquire into the expediency of
changing the laws so as to arrest the con.
traction of the currency, of reducing the
tax on distilled spirits, and of reporting a
more economical means of collecting it. re-
pealing the tax on cotton, and of adopting
as a criterion of the measure of taxation a
scale of revenue which would yield a sum
only sufficient with the surplus in the Treas
ury to pay the expenses of the Government
and the interest on the public debt, etc.
Adopted.
Mr.. Kelley offered resolution declaring
that the welfare of the people, and the
maintenance of the faith and credit of the
Government, require the repeal of the taxes
on cotton, and on the productions of manu-
featuring and mechanical interests except
distilled spirits, malt liquor, and tobacco
Referred, on motion of Mr.. Washburne Rep.
Ill., to Committee on ways and Means.
The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune says:
"The Judiciary committee of the House
WILL at their next session, take up the bill
referred to them providing for suspension of
the President pending impeachment. The
bill is general one in its character, and it
is the opinion of many of the Senators and
Members that it is necessary that some leg
islation should be adopted explanatory of
the Constitution of the United States on the
subject. 1t is doubtful if the Committee
report favorably on the bill.
The vote of the House on the resolution
instructing the Committee on Banks and
Banking to report bill providing for the
withdrawal OF the National Bank currency
and substituting therefor greenbacks, is re-
garded as very significant of the temper of
the House on the subject The Ways and
Means Committee intend to take up at an
early day the question of contraction, and
report in accordance with the resolution re-
ferTed to them to-day. They will also take
up the question of repeating the cotton tax.
The woolinterests are said to be strongly op-
posed to the repeal of this tax, as it will ma
terially interfere with the production of wool.
FALsEHooDs Commemorate would be
to correct .oue-tenth of the false
hoods started by the so-called Conservative
press. We must depend for these correc-
tons on the good sense and honesty of the
people generally.
The Wilmington Post says:
1.-THE report sent from this city to North
ern papers by telegraph and published by
implication in certain sheet in this city,
that S. S. Ashley one Of the delegates elect to
the State Constitutional Convention said in o
speech on Friday night: Every colored
man who voted the Conservative ticket
ought to be hung as high as Hannah" is an
annaitigated talsehOod. The man who pen
ned it and circulated it is either knaYe or
a fool"
So we supposed.

The New York Tribune, noticing the cleo
ton in this State, says:
"The Conservatives did their best in most
Counties, but were troubled with a lack of
voters.
What they lacked in voters they made ND
for in bitterness. We think the white vote
for Convention can not be less than 40. 600
Many white voters perhaps 5,000-(id not
go to the polls and vote the Republican tick
ct, from fear that general negro suffrage
would in the end be lost, and they would
thereby incur lasting odium. But they can
now see their way clearly, and will hereafter
act openly and boldly with the Republican
party. We think the Republicans of this
State con hereafter count with certainty ON q
steady vote of 10000.
The Tribune further says:
1--WE estimate, from the imperfect returns
before us, that the Republican majority in
the State is at least 10000, and that at least
two thirds of the delegates are Rep ,blicans
The counties that used to give the largc
Democratic majorities (being the most pre-
ponderantly slave-holding) now give the
largest Republican majoritics but we also
carry many of the overwhelmingly white
North-CarOlina IS evermOre devoted to FREQ
dom and Equal Rights"
We have done better than that. The Re-
publicans have the State by so, 900 to 10000,
and more than o-thir3s of the delegates
Thanksgiving Day, Thursday last0
was duly observed in this City. Some of
our people attended Church, some feasted.
and some carried on their usual business.

so long as steam remains mechanical

will the fame Of James Wait endure as the
grand improver Of the mechanism through

donbted whether the practice Of ascribing
all the benefits vi the steam engine, as at

rubbing later inventors Of the credit due
them, is borne ont By the fseis. The steam
