Dublin County, ireland, in 1885, and removed to
this country in 1878 He first resided>in the City
of Newark, N. j., but came to this place in 1890,
and in 1921. married that excellent woman, Eliza

such remarkable sense as to win for himself
high repute with all classes in our midst. He
was empha ically an honest man-one who lived
and died without reproach. In his family, he
was attentive and affcctionate, and at his house,
for all who entered his-d doors, there was an unaf-
fected, unostentatfous hospitality, which was
distinguishing feature in olden society, and which
invested social life with more than hafis charms.
But, whether the contact was with his acquain-
tancss or strangers, Mr.. O'Rorke always display
ed rigid regard for right and justice. In business
transactions be was exact and prompt, and there
will be universal agreement that he was just to a
| marvel.
He was member of the Catholic Communion
and died IN that faith. The example he has left

No-not Slave Thank Godl Thank
God my letters fall at last
The long, dark night of servitude has gone
forever past.
Above the lurid clouds of war, see the first
glad beam f
Of Liberty's effulgent sun illumine hill and
stream /,
Lighting my lowly hovel roof and shining
in the door,
Where never through the weary years his
light had shone before:
And reverently bend my knee, and send
my thanks to Heaven
That God has heard my fervent prayers and
all my letters riven.
No more seek the Northern star, with sad
and longing eyes,
NOR press with fainting footsteps on to where
my Canaan lies;
No more amid the tangled swamp the bay
ing blood hounds hear.
No more obey the drivers whip, no more the
torture fear.
Never again-thank God for that shall
these glad eyes behold
My dusky wife and children dear, bartered,
or scourged, or sold;
Never again shall MIGHT make right, nor
man to man untrue,
While God exists and Justice lives, and
Heaven above is blue.
Oh brothers, by Potomac's bank, and By
the Congaree,
And where the Mississippi rolls her waters
to the sea
In Alabama's meadow paths-in Georgia's
f1owery wales
On Tennessee's broad table lands-in Flori-
da's sweet dales;
Wherever, Oh my brethren ye have wept
and waited long,
And have borne the fearful burden of the
crushing, cursed wrong,
Sing, sing. as Miriam sang of old, song of
praise to God,
Who rules among the nations and who broke
oppressiOn's rod.
Hereafter, through the wilderness, your feet
no more shall tread,
Hereafter by the lone lagoon your tears no
more be she'd;
But many church and school-house, and
many happy home,
Shall crown each rood of Southern soil in
blessed years to come:
And whensoe'er the bugle sounds and bay.
onets CLEAN again,
To save the land from anarchy, and FREE.
DOM calls for men,
March joyfully to battle meath the starlit
banner bright,
And strike for home and liberty. for God
and human right!

case, In Chowan, q week or two since, this
distinguished Carolinian added largely to
his reputation for legal acumen. His effort
in behalf Of the defendants is for the

sustained the egestion of the late Hon.
Geo. E. Badger, that Mr. P. possessed tie
finest legal mind of any young man in the
State.
We mention this gentleman's relation to
the case, because either partizan malice or
accident has caused those who have referred
to this adjudication to omit all reference to

BY a FREEDMAN.

fin wand'rin now from town to town,
Oppressed with care and woe,
md not one generous friend meet,
No matter where go;
she cold blast of the winter, toe,
Preys heavily on me-
While all who meet me cry aloud
"Rejoice for you are free"
shis piercing northern winter blast
Ny life blood chills within,
And am starving in the streets
Where none will let me in;
They tell me they are friends of mine,
That I, man must be;
That should never more repine,
Since they hays set me free"
l left my sunny Southern home,
To seek the promised land,
Where Boston is from off the sea,
By icy breezes fann'd;
In vain l ask for bread-in vain
plead imploringly;
Both black and white, my Misty mock
By shouting "you are Free"
They say that no longer am
The slave of masters will;
That he can't sell my wife or child
Nor any of us kill:
Kind christian friends, though good you are,
Yet can't agree,
That much better off am now,
Ev'n though man and free;
A man and free-a wasting man,
From all save hunger free,
And though my children are not sold,
From them have to flee,
What matters it, free or slave,
If we must parted be?
I could not stay to see them starve,
And this my friends call 6 Free"
Kind Heaven look down upon me,
And send me back again,
To that fair sunny Southern land,
Where no one asks in vain,
When cen slavery better is,
Than freedom here to me,
For there men are not fed on words,
Nor scornd in slavery.
IF a freedman wrote the above, he is, to
say the least, "a great goose. The picture he
draws is imaginary. The colored people
are generally well-to-do, and all they need
to ensure their future prosperity is the exer.
else of equal civil and political rights with
the white race. This they will certainly dc
under the new order of things so wisely es-
tablished by Congress.
Now read the following thrilling lines
"The Freedman in Blue" as capital offset
to what we cal, "The Slave in Gray"
