A Remarkable Discovery.


The st. Paul Pioneer Of the 9th
inst, commences a lengthy article on
" the Democratic Party" with the fol-
towing statement:
Tho Democratic party has never
been prO-slavery party"
This remarkable discovery was so un-
expected, so startling, so utterly at
variance with our settled opinions, that
It took away our breath, and we have
not finished reading the article yet. II
viii equally surprise many others. Il
is strange the Pioneer has not set the
nation right on this point before. Many
good men have opposed the Democratic
party on the suppOsition that it sUas a
prO-slavery party.
One thing is surc-frOm 1852 to
1861 the slavery question was the alb
sorbing issue in National politics. The
two great parties were divided by this
issue. One was anti-slayery-One was
pro-slayery. Now it has been generally
supposed that the Democratic party,
under the lead of Davis, Toombs, Wig
fall, Buchanan, Vallandigham, and their
compeers North and South, was the pro-
slavery party, and that the Republican
party was opposed to the extension OF
slavery. It has been supposed that the
states which voted for Abraham Lincoln
in ls60: were anti-slayery states and
that the states which voted for the Dem
Ocratic candidates, were not much OPP
posed to slavery, either in theory or
practice. 1t has been supposed that the
great Democratic leader, CALHoUE,
leaned toward pro slavery views, and
also that South Carolina. which has
always been Democratic, was rather pro-
slavery. Il has been supposed that, in
contrast, MASSACHUSETTS, for instance,
which never was Democratic, has been
rather Of anti-slavery state. 1t has even
been supposed that during the war,
those that were friendly to the Institution
of slavery, and desired to have it let
alone, were mainly Democrats. We are
glad that the Piooeer has set the people
right before they get fixed in these err
Tonoous opinions.

And raved of love and of constancy,
And he saw the tears to my eyelld start,
For he was the world TO me
he whispered low when the Spring time flew,
OF the tangled paths in which men stray,
And around me all his arms he threw,
His eyes were on fire that day.
We parted yes but 1 chung to him,
And l put up my lips TO be kissed again ;
But the laughing eyes of the hea7' n grew dim,
And were swollen black with rain.
They came TO me when my love was gone,
And said he was poor aud toiled for bread /;
They talk'd of ruin and tears alone,
And my heart was dull as lead.
And then they laid their bride at my teet,
Twas the same old tale that is often told.
They playd on the strings of my hearts
conceit,
And dazzled my eyes with gold.

And / walk'd to the altar and there lied:
For my heart was away with the primrose
spring.
And by my husbands side.
And now you ask me what of the liep
I've paid tull dear for my girlish greed;
'Twere better, / think, for woman TO die,
Than TO live the life l lead.

For the scent of the primrose crown of spring

Mrs. Partinston and Suffrage

Mrs. PartinStOn and Suffrage.
The conversation had turned upon this
popular and absorbing topic, exciting the
feelings Of the circle with the pro and
con view of it, when, in the midst of a
fierce remark, as & rejoinder hard as a
brick was trembling into form on the
other side, Mrs. Darlington raised her
finger. There was immediate silence.
AS for universal suffering" said she,
with a smile as tender as the last beam
of expiring day upon faded landscape,
= AS for universal suffering, / don't see
why they should suffer more than any
other sex"
"Who {" said Dr.. Speoner, looking
over his spectacles.
"The Uniyersalists," said She" Sand
certainly there is not half SO much dan
ger if their doctrine is true, as I'm sure
I hope it IS. for the sake of many who
have nothing but tho goodness of God
TO depend upon"
But" said DR.. Spooner, with an EN-
phasis upon the word, as though he were
about to enact il. and butt his meaning
ut her; 81 mean tho universal gift of
Suffrage, allowing every man to vote,
whether black or white"
She paused Ike a rilI interrupted by a
Leaf, gathering strength by the Interrupt
ton, and breaking trinmphantly away.
81 don't see" said she, "why they
shouldn't do it if they are a mind TO;
and If they don't they ought to be made
TO by corrosive measures. 1 think the
gift Of suffering belongs most naturally
to the women; but as for voting, that is
another matter"
There was a dignity in the delivery of
this profound opinion that would have
done credit to Judge Bigelow, and it took
the entire evening TO pick the meat of it.
Ike was engaged at bis spelling lesson,
drawing .profles of the crook nosed
teacher on the margin of his spelling
book.

CFrom the Atlantic Monthly
An Old MANS EdVI.

L
By the waters of Life we sat together,
Hand in hand in the golden days
I OF the beautiful early summer weather,
Whom skies were purple and breath was
When The heart kept tune TO the carol of
birds,
And the birds kept tune To the songs
which ran
| Through simmer Of flowers on grassy swards
And trees with voices Aeolian.
By the rivers of life we walked together,
l and my darling, unafraid;
And lighter than any linnet's feather
The burdens of Being on us weia he'd
And Loves sweet miracles Ger us threw
Nantes of Joy outlasting time,
And up from the lOsy mOTows grew
A sound that seemed like marria sc chime.
In the gardens Of Life we strayed together,
And the luscious apples were ript and red,
Aud the languid lilac and hOneyed heather
Swooned with the fragrance which they
shed.
And under the trees the angels wake 4,
And up in the air sense of wings
Awed us tenderly. while we talked
Softly in sacred communings.
In the meadows of life We strayed Together,
Watching the waving harvests grow,
And under the pension of the Father
Our hearts, like the lambs, skipped to and
fro;
And the cowslips hearing our low rep lies,
Braided iairer the emerald banks,
And glad tears shone in the daisies e5es,
And the timid violet glistened thanks.
Who was with us and what was round -es.
Neither myself nor my darling gues sed,
Only we knew that something crowIled US,
Out from the heayans with crowns tf rest !;
Only we knew that something bright
fingered lovelingly where we stood,
Clothed with the incandescent light
OF something higher than humanhos d.
Oh. the riches Love doth inherit
All, the alchemy which doth change
Dross of body and dregs of spirit
Into sanctties rare aud strangel
Ny flesh is feeble, and dry and old;
BY darling's beautiful hair is gray
But cur elixir and precious gold
Laugh at the footsteps OF decay.
Harms OF the world have come unto US
Cups OF sorrow we yet shall drain;
But we have secret which doth show US
Wonderful rainbows in the rain.
And we hear the tread of the years NOV, by,
And the sun Is setting behind the hills
But my darling does not fear to die.
And am happy in what God wills.
SO we sit by our household fires together,
Dreaming the dreams of long ago;
Then it was balmy summer weather,
And now the valleys are laid in snow
Icicles hang from the slippery caves,
The wind blows cold-'Gs growing late
Wen, well we have garnered al our sheaves.
/, and my darling, and we wait.

writing letter to his journal, uses the
following language in regard to young
men of the East seeking homes and
fortunes in the West:

who cannot get along at the East be-
cause he can find no open door, will 90
to the West, put his hand to the plow,
and look not back, he will find himself

an esteemed member Of society, and
the architect of successful career. ]

house afforded. He didn't want any
common fare, but the best they had, and
he had the money to foot the bill. The
landlord very pleasantly inquired if he
