eco 1T ALONE,
BY JOHN O. SAKE.


There's game in fashion, think It's called
Euchre,
Though I've never played 1t for pleasure or lucre
IN IN whioh, when tue cards are IN certain conditions
The players seem to have changed their positions
Aud one vt them cries In a confident tone
81 think might venture 10 60 it alone /"
While watching the game, It's whim of the
bard's,
A moral to draw from the skrmish in cards,
And to fancy he fuaS in the trivial strife
Some excellent hints for the Battle of Life,
Where, whether the prize be a ribbon or throne,
The winner is he that can ego it alone |"
When great Calico proclaimed that the world
In regular orbit ceaselessly whirled
And got not q convert for all of his pains,
But only derisiou and prison and chains
" II moves, for all that" was his answering tone,
For he knows, like the earth, he could "go it
alone "
When Kepler, with intellect piercing afar,
Discovered the laws Of each planet aud star;
And docturs, who ought to have lauded his name,
Derided his learning and blackened his fame
" can watt he replied, "tll the truth you shall
own !"
For he felt in his heart he could ego It alone
Alas for the player who idly depends,
In the struggle Of Life, upon Kindred and friends /!
Whatever the value Of blessings like these,
They can never atone for inglorous ease
Nor comfort the coward who finds with groan,
That his crutches have left him to ago it alone Z"
There is something, no doubt, in the hand you may
hold;
Health, family, culture, wit, beauty and gold,
The unfortunate owner may fairly regard,
AS each in its way n most excellent card
ct the game may be lost with all these for your
own,
Unless you have the courage to ego it alone !"
In battle or business whatever the game,
In law or in love, it is ever the same
In the struggle for power or scramble for pelf
For whether the prize be a ribbon or throne,
The victor is he who can ego it alone !"

Manhood Suffrage.

Annexed will he found paragraph from
the New York Times in reference to the
refusal of the Republican Legislatures in
certain Northern States, to strike the word
whito from the Constitution. The Times is
purely Conservative, and rebuke coming
from if, such as given below, is worthy of
notice
Missouri aud Minnesota, through their
Legislatures, have affirmed the principle of
impartial suffrage. In Ohio, Illinois. and
Michigan the Legislatures have refused TO
obliterate caste distinctions, by the adap-
tation Of their Constitutions to the altered
circumstances of the country. These al.
verse decisions are inexpicable, in view oil
the action Of the Republican party in Cou.
gress and the position it has assumed on
the suffrage question. After enfrauolising
the colOred citizens of the District of Co.
lumbia, and forcing upon the South their
universal enfranchsement, il is difficult to
imagine any principle with which the
Northern States may justify the present
disability on account Of color. Certainly
there is no consistency in the course of the
Legislatures eontr, Fed by large Republi.
can msjorities, after the formal prornuga
tion OF the Republican policy in tire halls
Of Congress. If the party has any distiuc,
five principle, the principle Of impartial
suiIr@ge must be considered peculiarly its
own. 1t has proclaimed il part of its owns
1t has proclaimed itpart Of the groundwork
Of national Reorganization, by enacting il
wherever Congressional authority extends
And the States composing Congress cannot
6ecently refuse to ratify in their individu |
capacity the principle to which they have
given effect by their aggregate authority.
II the blacks Of Georgia are enttlsd to vote,
and pre- entrusted with them without dis
qualification, on what prstense are the
blacks of Ohio, Illinois aud Michigan, to
remain branded with political inferiority 2"

any one to put faith in them. Whether Judge

trial proceed, and if So on what day-whethcr

We do not know; and others, who pretend 70
be wiser on this point, probably know just as
much as we do. Time will tell.
We do not credit the report that bail will be
required in case the prisoner shall be set at
liberty No bail has been required of others
similarly charged and situated; and it were
absurd to exact it of that prisoner only who IS
certain not TO abscOnd One who for nearly
two years has persistently sought trial Is
not likely at this day to evade one by shame

does not know that the requirement OF bail III

Underwood cxacts bail at all, it should be OF
