Upon bog oak throne complete,

And Dam O ConneU by her side"

Would dhry her hot tears in her shroud,
And hide her sorrows in the grave.
Come, boys, now fling away those pikes
Why should ye make and wear the likes?
Besides, you know, our loving Queen
Don't like those banners made of green
But take the red.cross flag for that

And of his stockings, too, friend Pat-)
So throw away both lead and STEEL
And shout like blazes for Repeal.
For tits as clear as Dublin mud
That Freedoms ever bought with blood;
And Irish blood has grown so wake

So fling away the crimson sword,
And pass along the magic word

The Fathers.

There was entered, on the 10Th of
February last, on the journal of the House
of Representatives, notice of the death
of Samuel Downing, the last surviving
soldier of the Revolution whose name
appears on the pension roll of the govern
ment. How many more of these venera-
BILE men still survive, we cannot positively
say, but We feel certain lot more than two
or three. To these old men, if to them
the adorable Giver of all good has pre-
served their mental faculties, how grand
must appear the progress of their country.
Their youthful eyes beheld the protracted
struggle of thirteen weak Colonies for an
independence gained with the aid of a
foreign power, leaving them exhausted by
their long continued exertions, bankrupt
In finances, and degraded in morals
They saw the civilization of the new
world covering mere strip of land along
the coast of the Atlantic, and gazing upon
the tops of the Alleghanies, counted them
as the Western boundaries of the Ameri-
can empire. Their last gaze upon earth
5ehe!d the Alleghanies surmounted as a
steed would pass over hillock, the Mis-
sissippi reached, and the outposts of civil
ization advanced four hundred miles
Westward of its shores. They beheld
science come to the aid of~free govern
ment, under the guise of steam navigation,
railroads, and the telegraph, linking dis
tant people in the bonds of close unity,
for all practical purposes hundred miles
TO what three were in the days of their
youth. They saw the powerful Republic
that had risen from the feeble Colonies
enter upon one of the most gigantic, most
sanguinary contests of which the earth
bears record, and, though assailed by foes
within and foes without, and her fall
declared by her enemies, saw her emerge
strong, respected, as full of zeal for lib
erty, as determined to enact Justice and
to live close up to the principles of the
early fathers, as it is possible for man to
do. Happy were these men in life
happy in death. May their memory be
long cherished upon the earth by people
happy, virtuous, devoted to liberty, strong
in spirit, the light aud leayen of nations.

BEssEMER STEEL RAILs.-This country
has thrown off another shackle that has
heretofore bound it to England. Besse-
mer steel rails of American manufacture,
and of the best quality, may now be pur-
chased of the Cambria Iron Company and
the Pennsylvania Steel Company, two OF
the most vigorous and substantial manu-
featuring firms in the Union. The Cam
bria Iron Company owns the we'll known
establishment at Johnstown, and has now
the largest capacity for producing rails of
any mill IL the country, and employs
some three thousand men. Daniel j.
Morrell is the able manager. The Penn
sylvania Steel Works have an extensive
establishment near Harrisburg, Pennsyl-
vania, and are represented by such men
as S. NJ. FELTON,, the eminent railroad
president and 6nancier, and DIR. Lamborn,
who is personally known to many iron and
steel meu.
The high character of all parties con-
nected with the new manufacture, and
the vast resources at their command, are
ample guarantees for its vigorous prose-
cution, and for the excellence of the article
they offer the public.

MRs. PRESIDENT JOHNSON, says a
letter describing Presidential reception,
appeared at the reception for the first
time. l felt deep anxiety to see the
woman who had taught her husband to
read, and inspired him with that lofty
ambition which led to place and power.
She stood near the President, to his right !;
pale, thin, stamped with care and sickness,
countenance of thoughtful Sadness
Looking for a moment at each person
introduced, her eye would drop immedi-
ately in meditative thoughtfulness, as il
her mind and heart were filed with
thoughts and emotions far different from
the giddy throng passing 0y.

The FOrtIeth Congress.

The Fortieth Congress met on Monday.
Hon. B. F. Wade, of Ohio, was elected
Speaker of the House. California, Con-
necticut, Indiana, Missouri, New Hamp-
shire, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
and Vermont, each send one new Senator,
and the transfer of Roscoe Conkling from
the House to the Senate leaves the Twenty
first District in New York without a
Representative at the opening of Congress
California, Connecticut, Kentucky, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Tennessee
will be wholly unrepresented at the
beginning of the session, since. their
elections have not taken place and there
are ten other States in the Union which
arc not likely to be represented. This
Congress begins in the House with one
hundred and sixty-three members, and
clear Republican majority of one hundred
and twenty-seven; and of the whole, one
hundred Representatives were members
of the Thirty-ninth Congress, large
proportion of them Republicans.

1t Is Finished !!

The Presidents veto of the Reconstruc-
ton bill was presented to Congress on
Saturday. The bill was Immediately ta-
ken up by both houses, and was without
difficulty passed by each by the requisite
two-thirds vote. In the Senate, the vote
stood-yeas So; nays 10; not voting a.
In the House, the vote was-yeas 135 !;
nays 48. So we have at last a clear, we'll
defined, permanent National policy on the
question of econstruction-one which
will commend itself to the understanding
of the people as at once just and mode
rate. To the hands of the people Of the
South is committed their own destiny
IF they want to come il among us and
enjoy the blessings of Union, they can
do so--we are waiting to welcome them !;
if they elect to stay s"out in the cold,"
they can also do that. Again the present
time, they must have become convinced
that the course they have been pursuing
is foolish and suicidal, and we opine the
XLth Congress will see all or nearly all
their States represented.
The President in his veto took the
around that the reconstruction bill as
passed is unnecessary and unconstitution-
Al.asHis arguments are a duplicate of
those he has made use Of in behalf of
treason ever since the inception of his
administration. Let them
pass.
