"Well open the polls and we'll vote who shall win her.
The Man of the People beyond all compare;
So, chieftains of clans rally up, every sinner,
The money will go to the Keelumcull Fair"
The first who sprung up a singer of glasses,
man of strong spirits, and ardent, was he;
His smiles and good looks had over the lasses-
They're all fond of glasses, to look in you
He hoisted his flag, decanter o'erfowing,
harp on its side, and star here and there
lie felt like q victor already, well knowing
The strength of his clan at the Keelumcull Fair.
The Son Of the Sed*, undismayed and undaunted
But cool a cold water man. on he came
With his tabular to meet this much Wanted,
And quench with rain water his spirit of fame
The snake of the still and his copperhead BROTHER
So help him high heaven, he never would spare;
He'd spill out the one break the head of the other
With the stick that hung up at the Keelumcull Fair
Three days and four nights ragged the battle ceasing
Now spirits went up and again they went DOM;
Anon rang the cry of g owd wather's increasing
Rally clan Gerrity; quick, or we drown"
At last things had almost gone the border,
When heads would be broken like old chinaware;
Had his rev called the whole parish to ORDER
It would end in skrmmage like Donnybrook Fair.
Thus virtue and honor were tried on their merits;
Inc HaCS gone IOrII 10 The earCn from Jne INK
:" The pride ofour race is the GENDER Of sperits;
Hurrah! let the parish and P take drink"
The pillar of Church, and the pillar of State is
A barrel we'll filled with " the Killer of Care -
The thing has left salt for our praties
Or dollar to spend at wake fair.
Behold our young hayro is.high above Emmett
And Ger those soldiers bronzed deep in the wars
IT'S wellearned fame, for our countrymen denim it,
Are shot with black bottles all over the bars
If hayroes are known by the dint of their killing
Sure whisky kills more than enough, and to spare
&c. soldier, resign, and go into distilling,
And hang up your sword for a stick at fair.
Ho you who out your young life at hard labor,
Your poor wife is pale and your children wan;
You do it for honor and vrtue, poor neighbor-
God help you, sure yowre not "Popular Man,"
Fling your hammer away get glass and decanter,
And flood every house with red waves of despair;
But once become rch and loud mouthed ranter,
You'll be the king at some Keelumcull Fair.
Son of the Seam Irish. Mac Mara maker of cerns

a Negro Applies for Admission to the
Georgia Bar.

We copy the following from the Sa-
vannah Republican of Friday:
Superior Court, Chatham county:
Your humble petitioner, Aaron A.
Bradley (colored), comes and prays your
honorable Court to grant him privilege
and immunity to practice law Because
your petitioner is full member of the
Superior Court of the State of Maine,
and full faith and credit shall be given
in each Stste to judicial proceedings of
every other State Article 4, Constitu-
ton of the United States.
Also, article 9th says this is. the SUI
preme law of the land, and the judges in
every State shall be bound hereby any
thing in the Constitution or laws of the
State to the contrary notwithstanding"
And your petitioner further submits to
your honorable Court the opinion of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
December term, 1856, page 423, in these
words, to wit: But if he ranks as a
citizen in the State to which he belongs,
within the meaning of the Constitution
Of the United States, then whenever he
goes into another State the Constitution
clothes him, as TO the rights of person,
with all the privileges and immunities
which belong to citizens OF the State.
And if persons Of the African race
are citizens of the State and of the
United States, they would be entitled to
all of these privileges and immunitieS in
every State, and the State could not re-
strict them, for they would held these
privileges and immunities under the
paramount authority Of the Federal
Government, and its courts would be
bound to maintain and enforce them.
And if the States could limit or restrict
them, or place the party in an inferior
grade, this clause of the Constitution
would be unmeaning and could have no
operation. This is evidently not the
construction or meaning Of the clause in
question. 1t guarantees rights TO the
citizens, and the State cannot withhold
them. Page 423.
Your humble petitioner, therefore,
comes and prays this honorable Court to
grant him the privilege and immunity Of
practicing law in the county Of Chatham
and State Of Georgia.
AARON ALPEIRA BRADLEY, Atty.
The laws Of Georgia do not authorize
or contemplate the admission ofspersons
of color to the bar, and as this is mat
ter entirely of internal police and NUM-
cipal regulations, over which this State
has absolute and exclusive jurisdiction,
il is my deliberate judgment that this
Court has no power TO grant the within
petition, the petitioner being a person Of
color. W. B. FLEMING

Nebraska Bill Veto.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. = The Presi-
dent to-day returned to the Senate, with
his objections, the bill for the admission
of Nebraska. He refers to the fundamen-
tai condition precedent, that suffrage shall
be allowed without distinction of race'or
color This condition is not mentioned
in the original enabling act; was not
contemplated at the time of its passage;
was not sought by the people them
selves; and has not been applied
to the inhabitants of any State,

conflict with the Constitution adopted
by the people and declared in the pre-.
amble to be Republican in its form of
government, for in that instrument, the
exercise of the elective franchise and

States Congress thus undertakes to
authorize and compel the Legislature to
change a constitution which tits declared
in the preamble has received the sane
ton Of the people, and which by this
bill is accepted, ratified aud confirm

President proceeds to show that the
first and third sections Of the bill exhibit

Congress is satisfied that Nebraska at
the present time possesses sufficient
population to entitle her TO full rep
resentation in the councils of the
nation, and her people desire a
State Government, good faith would
seem to demand that she should be adj
mitted without further requirements
than those expressed in the enabling
act, with all Of which Il il Is asserted IN the
preamble her inabitants have complied.
