when all the moneyed interests Of the coun-
try we're brought to act in concert against
him, and the people asserted by his cleo
ton their determination to. maintain the
control of their own Government. The
election Of Lincoln was equally a vindica-
ton Of the popular rights against the polit-
ical rights which had been exerted by the
use Of the slave question. It would be sin
gular that people so jealous of their po
litical power should sanction the Radical
programme by which twelve States are
wheeled into line by word Of command
from Washington. When we remember
that the spirit Of our people was reused by
the attempt of the United States Bank to
control the elections, and that the Demo-
cratic instinct from Maine to Georgia re-
belled when Biddle put the screw on the
money market to effect political power, we
cannot suppose it will sleep while Radical
ism openly WELD at will the votes of twelve
States by military power, and attempts to
exc out its force to command the Govern
ment by the profigate expenditure of mo-
ney, and subjecting all industry to enorm-
Gus taxation by tariffs, rotten banks, and
thus installing an odious oligarchy upon
the country. If the American Constitu-
ton was nothing more than printed re-
cord, of temporary agreement, | should
feel alarmed at the present usurpation of
Congress upon it; but when I remember
that there is not line Of it which is not
incorporated with the blood Of the nation
that it is the written expression of prin
ciples to which the American. people and
their ancestors have adhered for centuries,
modified to suit their exact condition here,
[ feel that the Constitution is not mere
paper, but the reflex of the very nature Of
our people: and that though it may be here
as it was in the old country, that civil war
leads to the temporary suspension Of eonsti-
tutianal action, the return Of peace leads
necessarily to a leturnto the normal action
of the Government and the restoration Of
constitutional rights and privileges.
The Confederates did not undertake to
change the Constitution; but adopted it as
their own, because it was the EXPRESS IMAGE
OF TIE AMERICAN MIND; and itmust be per-
petual. To oppose itislike ghting. against
God and Nature; and it would be as we'll
to undertake to reverse the laws Of grayi-
taton. The Radicals know this, and arc
aware Of their doom. It is a mistake to
suppose that they are reposing in ease and
confidence upon their places and patronage
in the Federal capital The consciousness
Of their guilt and the knowledge Of their
fate speaks in their faces and through their
eyes.

A Beautiful Tribute to Virginia.

In a recent number of the Galveston
Ne,gs, we find an address delivered by Col.
J. K. Connolly before the Literary Socie-
ties of the Baylor University, which is
marked throughout by surprising beauty
and vigor of thought and diction. The
speaker is represented to be a very young
gentleman, and certainly gives evidence of
/ the highest order Of oratorical genius. In
the course Of his remarks he pays the fol
lowing eloquent tribute to the people Of
our mother, Virginia ~
There is one spirit which [ would arouse

innate worth, born of generous emulation
and consummated in glorions achievement
1t was this that perched the Roman Eagle
upon the spires of every city in the world.
1t was this that prompted the reply Of Lee
onidas-" Slave, go and tell thy master
that am Spartan;" and here in our own
land, it was this that made Virginia the

A HOME LYRIC.

BY COL. S. w. s. HAWKINS.
Our little Darling's here asleep,
With rustling folds above her,
And many sign of tender care
To show how well we love her.
The morning breeze goes fitting by
In low and pleasant numbers,
And lingering seraphs seem to guard
Our Baby's peaceful slumbers.
A Fathers fond, devoted heart,
Owns all her winning powers
A Mothers sympathetic soul
Joins vigil thro' the hours.
We softly move about her couch
With words Of love and honor,
Since Innocence itself has twined
The purest wreaths upon her.
But yester' eve we watched her sports,
Her ways SO sweet and simple
Each pearly- tinted check bedecked
With the dearest little dimple.
The rich brown curls were backward borne
AS rung her happy laughter,
The while her lips caught dewy bloom
From Graces following after.
She seems-at play, or here asleep,
To be some winsome vision
Which Heaven has lent TO bless our home
With loneliness elysian.
And cherubs where Of old she was,
Have flung their zone around her,
And hands Of hottest purity,
With sanity garlands crowned her.
Sweet Babe Of mine IF parents prayers
With angels nigh to listen
A Fathers love that's all thine own;
Aud Mothers eyes that glisten-
If these can win dear gifts for thee
BY Faiths sincere endeavor,
Thou shalt be blest-in toll or rest,
And sinle;s thus forever

PRAXITELES AND PHRYNE,
BY W. W. STORY.

A thousand silent years ago,
The starlight faint and pale
Was drawing on the sunset glow
Its soft and shadowy veil;
When from his work the Sculptor stayed
His hand, and turned to one
Who stood beside him, half in shade,
Said, with sigh, '''Tis done"
'Phryne, thy human lips shall pale,
Thy rounded limbs decay,
Nor love nor prayers can aught avail
To bid thy beauty stay
''But there thy smile for centuries
On marble lips shall live
For Art can grant what Love denies
And fix the fugitive.
''Sad thought! nor age nor death shall fade
The youth of this cold bust
When the quick brain and hand that made,
And thou and l, are dust
''When all our hopes and fears are dead,
And both our hearts are eeld
And Love is like 81 tune that's played,
And Life tale that's told.
'sThis counterfeit of senseless stone, .elI
That no sweet blush can warm, m
The same enchanting look shall own, -...-
The same enchanting form. a..
s.And there upon that silent face Iaa4 go
Shall unborn ages see
Perennial youth, perennial grace,
And sealed serenity.
''And strangers, when we sleep in peace, ~
Shall say, not quite unmoved, i. 2a
So smiled upon Praxiteles f4a.-
The Phryne whom he loved" @ a

The Gullett Steel Brush Gin


THIS celebrated CoTToN GIN, is again
j manufactured under the supervision
of the Patentee, B. D. Gullett, with great
" improved facilities; and we, as agents
for the Southwest, now offer it as the best
Gin made.
It's advantages are:
LIST. The quantity Of Cotton ginned in a
given time is much greater than by any
other gin Of equal number Of saws.
I'd. It separates from the Cotton all
notes and dust and leaves it clean from
nap.
Sd. The Steel Brush straightens out the
lint, removing all kinks and knots.
4th. The Roll cannot be broken BY over
feeding.
All Gins are tested before leaving the
factory. Cotton from this Gin will sell for
an advance in price, sufficient in 30 Bales
to pay for the Gin, because it is freed from
notes, dirt and nap. 1t has been in use
extensively in the Southwest ten l0)
years, and wherever used it supercedes all
other Gins.
Send for special descriptive circulars.

FASSMAN'S IRON TIES
FOR
COTTON BA LIS

THE undersigned have made extensive
l. arrangements to supply the demand
for these Ties the present season.
In addition to the FASSMAN DIAMOND
TIE and BUTTON TIE, SO extensively
used heretofore, they now offer his ALLl-
GATOR TIE, with teeth so arranged as to
instantly clamp the hoop when the pres
sure is removed from the bale, and hold it
withous slipping.
Great pains have been taken to secure
the best of iron.
These Ties are so simple in their arrange
ment that they can be applied by any one,
to bales of any size, with the same facility
and expedition as rope In strength, secu.
rity and facility of application, they will
compare favorably with any yet intro
duced.
The advantages of Iron Ties are now
generally recognized; but it is deemed not
out of place to call the attention OF those
interested to the very emphatic recommen-
dation of Underwriters, Steamboat Cap
tains, and Owners and Agents of Sea
Steamers and Sailing Vessels, recently
