I ratified by the seal of civil cOnvulsiOn
/ and blood Ages Of wrong bad forged
and fastened his chains which God
I melted in the furnace heat of RevOlu-
ton. He is now Gods freeman. That
I God who led him up to, and kept him
through the flame, viii not cast away
the gold so preciOuslY purified. If we
would stand near God as a nation, and
keep our Government under His bles-
sing, let US keep our hearts near and
warm toward this people, who dwell
unueE the solemn shadow OF his great
Hand. IF he rebuked undergraduates,
and pride, by becoming the Helper of
these who had none to keep them, let
US draw nigh unto them, and unto Him.
As we stand upon the other shore of
that Red Sea which was the pedestined
grave of this people, but which God
made their birth place into new and
nObler nationality, let us clasp our
hands with theirs, and lift up all to-
gether to our Divine Deliverer. Let US
remember that we can never OutgrOW
our heritage, while it is pervaded with
the pure, healthy life of patriotism, and
national unity. The body corporate
cannot be OvergrOwn when il incOrpOr-
ates and enlarges its growth with its
local and numerical extension. We
can absorb this race, and render every
member a citizen that shall multiply
by our name, and power. But we can
not carry this race as a burden on our
shoulders, or become their civil police.
They then only drag US down, and we
shall die together.
As Revolution is Gods last school
master to refractory nations, let its les
sons of poverty, of waste and blood,
warn US of wrong, and win us to the
Right. As the fire of Gods wrath
searched and consumed the lOng-buried
rottenness of our civil fabric, so now
let its heart consume all that is unjust
and false, and establish justice and
righteousness in the very foundations
Of a regenerated Republic. Shall we
now go forward with Him to reap the
harvest, or shall il and the costly seed
both perish? Let our happy history,
and the advancing career, Of the freed
men answer. G. W. B.

The Story of President Lincoln's S
Disguise Refuted


The following extract from General
Bakers book processes to give the truth
about President Lincoln's alleged dis
guise, and the attempt to assassinate
him during his trip to Washington to
assume the duties of President
In the month of January, 1861, a
gentleman holding a position in this
city which made him a proper agent to
act on the information was waited up
on by a lady, who stated to him her
rived we are not able to say-Of a plot
to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln when on his
way from his home, in Illinois, to
Washington, to be inaugurated as Pres

them, in business, were understood to
tleman considered that the intelligence
/ had sufficient foundation to make it his
duty to satisfy himself whether it
might be correct. He accordingly en-
/ DIoyed a detective officer, a man who
/ had in his profession become notable
/ for his sagacity and success, to 90 to
/ Baltimore and adopt his own course to

/ and opened an office as some sort Of

ways than need be expressly stated,
until he had secured enough of theiI

it had been ascertained that on the line

MAXIMLLIAN TO BE sHOT.--And why
nOtH jeff Davis Warred at home, was
the head Of insurrectiOn In his own
land, seeking to set up another Repub-
lie, alad the verdict OF the people was,
let him suffer the penalty. Death to the
trattOr-the leader of She rebellion
I This verdict has, however, been set
aside. Had jeff Davis been shot at the
time Of his capture, or been condemned
to death by military tribunal imme-
diately after, and sentence executed,
the civilized world would have respond
ed, amen; but time changed the aspect
of affairs and otherwise determined the
fate of the head Of the rebellion. The
release Of jeff Davis is the hardest blow
yet given in our country to loyalty and
republican institutions
MazimilliOn left his own country to
devastate and conquer another, and set
up a throne on this continent, where
thrones are not and should not be toler-
ated, and is a usuTper. 1t matters little
in this connection what Mexico was or
was like to become, the usurpation was
none the less, and there is no reason
why he or his friends should expect for
him any less than the fate Of a leader Of
insurrectiOn. The loyal people of the
United States can have no sympathy
with such usurpatiOn nor for the usurp-
er.-SGadlSky Register.

THE VOICE OF OLD sTARK.-The
Union Convention of Stark County
which met June 1st. for the purpose of

peace and unity to the entire country,
and in guaranteeing the rights OF all
men before the law.
ResoLUed, That we favor the amend
ment of the Constitution of the State of
| Ohio to abolish all political distinction
/ because of race or color, believing that
all loyal men who aid in bearing the
burthens of Government, are entitled
to share in its administration.
ResOIUed, That the rebels who sought
| the overthrow of the Government, to-
gether with those who abandoned its
support in the hour of need, are not
entitled to advise in the direction Of
public affairs, no matter whether
white or black.
ResoEUed, That &c is of the utmost i'm
portance that our Government, both
| national and State, should be controlled
| by loyal men, and to this end we urge
our fellow Republicans TO unceasing
| labor during the political campaign
insure the triumph of our cause and
| the overthrow of the last Vestige Of
/ treason.
! Re8oLUed, That the thanks Of all 10y
! al men are due to the brave soldiers who
| in defense Of the Union and liberties OF
! the people, and it is the sense of this
/ Convention that, other things being
equal, it is the duty of the Union party,
/ in the distribution of offices of honor
/ and profit, to give precedence to worthy
| honOrablY discharged soldiers.

The COquette's Glove.

All little glove ah little glove
How many hearts thoust broken!
How many times thOu'st talked of love
When not a word was spoken!
What faithless signals thou hast made
What cruel kindness granted
What buds OF promise caused to fadet
What seeds Of sorrow planted!
How strong thy unsuspected strength,
Thou mite Of magician,
Leading as thou has ever led.
From pleasure TO p6rQTtun
How oft thOus'G lured poor uOrtals on,
By some concealed attraction!
How oft, too like fair Circe's wand,
Thy touch has caused distraction
How many are thy charming crimes,
Thy guilty destinations,
Thy virgin virtues, modest signs,
Mere mOcking Vaccinations
Most dangerous when most demuTe,
Most wicked when most winning,
Thou mak'st thy trusting lover doubt
If such sin can be SHINING.
Thy victim keeps thee next mis- heart,
Long after thOu'st deceived him,
And fOndles in his breast the dart
That of his joy bereaYed him.
He'll lowering stand 'tW1Xb love and hate
His dear tOrmentOr nursing;
VIII curse thee for his cruel fate.
Yet kiss thee cen while cursing.

Mr.. Hamilton, cashier Of the First
National Bank of Washington, meeting
an old friend of Mr.. Lincoln's one morn
ing, remarkeds "That President Of
yours is the oldest man alive. Why,
he indOrses notes for niggers." It seems
that some time before a cOlored man.
finding himself in danger of losing his
house for the want of $50, went to Mr..
Lincoln and told his story. The result
was that the man made a two months
note, and Mr.. Lincoln indorsed IL. The
note was discounted by some one, and
found its way into HuntingtOn's bank
for collection, Upon its maturity the
cOlOred man failed to respond. Instead
of serving the customary notices upon
the indOrser, the cashier took the note
in person to Mr.. Lincoln, who at once
offered to pay it. Mr.. Huntington said,
''NTr. President, you have tried to help
fellow mortal along. I am not willing
that you should suffer this entire loss;
we viii divide it between u.s." And the
affair was thus settled.

AN UNPUBLIsHED ANECDorE ABOUT
GEORGE WAsHINGTON.-The following
letter is contained in ex-President Van
Buren's recently published volume on
political parties in the United States
OsDENsBURG, N. Y. April 80, 1857.
''Hon. NJ. Van Buren:
"DEAR SIR-During the session of the
Presbyterian General Assembly in Gin
cinn8ti, in May, 1852, I dined twice at
the mansion Of the Hon. Jacob Burnet,
now deceased. He was born in New
ark, New Jersey, in 1770, and was the
son of DR.. William Buruet, who was in
the medical service of his country thro'
the Revolution. Judge Burnet, was &C
quainted with our distinguished states
men, and his conversation was rich In
the Tecollections of their manners and
characters. He related an aHecdOte of
Washington, which he had from the
lips of Alexander Hamilton,
''When the convention to form a Con-
stitution was sitting in Philadelphia,
in 1877, of which General Washington
was President he had stated evenings to
receive the calls of his friends. At an
interview between Hamilton, the Nor
rises, and others, the former remarked
that Washington was reserved and aris-
tOcratic, even to his intimate friends,
and allowed no one to be familiar with
mere fancy, and he could be as familiar
with Washington as with any Of his
other friends. Hamilton replied:
IF you will, at his next reception
evening, gently slap him on the shoul-
der, and say, my dear General, how
happy am to see you look so we'll, /"
supper and wine shall be provided for
YOU and a dozen of your friends
stIhe challenge was accepted. On the
evening appointed a large number at
tended, and at an early hour, GOuVer-
eur Morris entered, bowed, shook hands
laid his left hand on WashingtOn's
shoulder, and said:
My dear General, am very happy
to see you look so we'll
washington withdrew his hand,
stepped suddenly back, and fixed his
eye on Morris for several minutes with
an angry frown, until the latter retreat
ed, abashed, and sought refuge in the
crowd. The company looked on in si-
lence.
"At the supper which was provided
by Hamilton, Morris said
4 have won the bet, but paid dearly
for it, and nothing could induce me to
repeat it,
Yours truly, JOHN FINE"
