THOUGHTS OF HOME.

I've been thinking of home! OF my Fathers
Where the many mansions be-"
OF the city whose streets are paved with gold
OF its jasper walls so fair to behold
Which the righteous alone shall see.
I've been thinking ofhome where they need not
OF the sun, nor moon, nor star:
Where the gates of pearl ''are shut by day,
For no night is there" but the weary may
Find rest from the world afar
I've been thinking Of home, of the river Of
life
That flows through the city so pure;
of the tree that stands by the side Of the stream
Whose leaves in mercy with blessings teem
The sin wounded sonl to cure.
I've been thinking home-of the. loved ones
there,
Dear friends who have gone before
With whom We walked to the death river side,
And sadly thought. a. we watched the tide,
Of the happy days of yore.
I've been thinking of home, and my heart is
full
OF love for the Lamb of God!
Who his precious life, ransom gave.
For q sinful race, cen our souls to save,
From Justices avenging rod
I've been thinking Of home; and I'm honesick
Ny spirit doth long to he,
In ''the better land" where the ransomed sing
OF the love of God, their Redeeuer. King,
OF mercy, so costly, 80 free.
rvebeen thinking of home! yes, home, sweet
home;'
Oh. there may We all nnite
With the white robed throng and forever rise
To the Triune God, sweetest songs Of praise,
With glory, and honor, and might.

this application by the mere grace OF
the Court, and that if their aspersiOns
were allowed to pass without rebuke,
their improperly was none the less
felt. The Court must be supposed to
be alive to proper sense of self-respect,
and to that surrounding respect which
is essential to its dignity and usefulness.
Its ear is not open to be used for un-
called-for criticisms upon the motives
of the Legislature, or the conduct OF
its members; especially in view OF the
fact that they emanated from those
who stood indictable for high treason
against the State, and were enabled to
appear here through mere executive
fOrbearance,"
Now if the foregoing is viewed in what
might be called its scholastic light, it is
perfectly right and proper. For no
pupil ought to speak at all in school
except by "mere grace" and it is mani
festly improper for q pupil to speak
evil of the trustees lie. the Legislature.)
But if viewed as legal proposition, it
is unsound and false. For wherever
the law prevails, any and every man,
be he rebel, traitor or murderer. can ar
pue his own cause as matter of right,
and not as o matter of grace and favor.
And it is the privilege and duty Of all
American citizens, even pardoned re-
bels,;,t0 discuss freely their public ser
wants both Legislators and Judges.
Having furnished n key to the opinion
without which we think it can not be
understood and appreciated, we take
leave of the subject with the prediction
that if it be necessary to aflix judicial
condemnation upon the personal virtue
of the entire bar of eleven States, the
opinion of the court must be prepared
by stronger head than Judge Loomis
carries, and must emanate from body
entirely different from the Circuit Ju-
dietary of West Virginia.

How the Dem.erat. Opposed ,he War

The reorganization of the Democratic
party, now in progress throughout tit
country, is eliciting great deal Of mali
cious comment from the Radical press
All the old worn-out invective and falls,
accusations hurled against the Democ
racy ut time when bayonents and bas
tiles prevented refutation, are being re
vived with great industry and zeal.
The charge of Opposition to the war fol
,ie l'nion,' although palpably false on
= face. is being vigorously urged
acainSt the Democrats, and the
uadcniable fact that their assis-
lance To the rebellion would
lave secured its success, seems
lo weigh but little with class of jour
,.,ls which care more for catch-words
,sau for common sense. All unbiased
persons are we'll aware that what these
raprIs style Opposition to the war;"
v,S only Just and hearty condemna-
,inn Of it's villainies; and that tkis5 5con-
l,muation became more earnest in pro-
norton as the war was changed from its
L,wfnl purposes, and directed against
r..,mblican institutions and the hber-
lies Of the pcople. OF such "opposi-
t,cn" rs this every Democrat ought to
Irpromd.
We SAY ali honor tn the Democratic
party for It's hostility to the nsurpa-
t,nu, of the authorities and their viola
INNS of the Constitution under the ty-
rant, pea of state necessity; to the
substitution of military rule for civil
law where no excuse existed for the
change: to unwalranted arrests and i'm
prl,lnmemt ofprivate citizens upon the
mere riuIling of Mr.. SEwARp'S bell; to
the s,izure of private property without
conversation, and to the thousand other
b,lurc unknown and unheard of out
ra.r> upon republican institutions and
rruublicau liberty which characterized
the action Of "loyap leaders in the
prosecution of the war. 1t was opposi-
rion To these usurpatiOns and these
ourrages upon private rights that af-
lorlrd the pretext under which Radical
journals and stumpers first raised the
cry of disloyalty against Democracy,
aud prolonged and repeated their
howls of traitor and ''sympa-
thizer," until it became q part
OF Radical duty to subscribe 10 the
ialsehood implied in these epithets.
Whether this blatant mouthing of
>cnseless appellations has ever deferred
any Democrat from his course or in
duced him to abandon his opinions we
do not know, but if any man of the
party is silly enough or weak enough
10 rcnounce his convictions or desist
flom their advocacy because of such
ridiculous outcries, he deserves to for
felt his rights and to be denied the pre-
rogatives of his manhood since he has
no longer the courage to assert and de-
frnd them.

temporary, which ought to rouse the
Young men of the South into resolute
action, 1t is this: romeo.
Before the war their fathers, in
many instances, had, by hard wOfk and
economy, made for themselves and
children a competency. Now most OF
them are reduced to poverty. and have
no means Of support. They are thrown
upon the world TO toll and scuffie in
their old age for q scanty subsistence.
How sad the picture! Instead Of being
able to help their children, their
children will have to help them. Is not
this enough to wake every latent ener,
gy of dutiful son, and cause him to
strain every nerve to assist aged pa
rentsi This is q powerful motive, and no
doubt many father is now rejoicing in
the possession Of noble, manly son,
who is exerting himself with all pow
ers of his mind and body 70 comfort
and support his parents and to miti-
