DEMOCRACY,

Asonce fair Greece ut Freedoms altar =, ood.
And freely offered her Immortal blood
lotheo, democracy! now Columbia stands,
WIN upturned, streaming eyes, and out
stretched hands,
Imploring thee her base domestic foe
TO crush, that wanton seeks her overthrow.
Yet Greece, majestic Greece, with all her
fame,
Arms, martial glory ami unsullied name.
Was sacriiced-she Who all nations led,
And snatch'd the laurels from each con-
quer's head,
Yea, rs the sun, with rays OF light unfnri'd,
Thro' Chaos broke, and flashed upon tho
A blaze OF glory, NO shone wide and far,
Throughout all nations, her superfial star.
BY virtue guided, Democracy was then
The creed OF upright, pureund honest men;
Truth, Justice reigned; art, science, culture,
The acknowledged highest attributes OF
But unrestralned prosperity combine
With power, ,iiceniiousness, and undermine
Her hallowed temple, desecrate its hall,
And shadows grasping 'mongst Its ruins flll
Alas alas her glory swept away,
Base traitors, her betraycrs on her prey.
Yet, from their grasp her soul immortal
Shakes or the yoke of despots' vile hire
Upstart intolerance, virtues mortal foe,
Strikes TO the earth-nerved vengeance
guides the blow
And Ger the earth, polluted by Its gore,
Tile sun of Freedom shines to set no more!
And though, gigantic Rome, with sword
and brand
Spread desolation DER her classic land,
Her soul immortal, nom the body driv'n,
Flies, guided by Gods love and will benign;
And I'm Columbia builds u golden shrine,
From whence her voice, like Jovess dread
thunder tones,
Goes forth, and shakes earth's S despot ruling
thrones.
Then, o suspicious powerl Democracy
StaV fanatic Radical N no or.,hu
BE first to hurl the avenging brazen spear
When foreign or domestic foes appear,

Free press, FREQ creed, draw, Freedom, draw
Yea, for III Immortal Constitution draw,
Rights, independence, and law.
And now, while despots think their game
And sets, forever, Columbia's glorious sun
BE- firm as Justice in her fixed decrees,
And break the spell Of their false prophc-
cies;
An awe-struck worlds confidence restore
And tell her Freedom fears no more.
Thy mission, then, Democracy! with fame
. crown! or thou and Freedoms but q

a light extinguished, never more tn burn
A loss which mankind cvermore may
mourn;
a sampson shorn of his rich locks of gold
Theseus in the fiery dragons fold,
Prometheus chained, the fierce vuiture',

A Niobc, transformed by tears to stone;
Hercules, bound, In dark Olympus hail.
An Atlas, crushed beneath II lost world,

a Saviour, sweating drops of blood in vain
Betrayed, snhote, spat upon, thorn.crUwnct

A Band OF Outlaws-The Radicals ut
Work.

Information has reached us OF d Sc
rious disturbance i'm franklin parish,
La. 1t seems from the statements
made to us, that II body of despera-
does, black and white, something
near two hundred in number, invaded
Franklin parish early last week, and
began a system of highway robbery
on high scale. The citizens becOm-
ing alarmed for their safety, banded
together, and OH last Thursday night
met the miscreants, and killed fifteen
negroes and five of the white men,
The freebooters then began retreat,
closely pursued by their incensed as
sailants. They were followed to st.
Joseph, where all trace of them was
lost. The whole country was in d
state of excitement and under arms.
There was some apprehension enter
tanned of an attack at other points,
and the citizens to guard against such
a prospect put armed sentlnels about
their places of residence and on the
roads. At Duckport, just above this
place, in louisiana, there was some
firing for two nights Saturday and
Sunday between the guards station
ed there and parties who attempted To
enter, but as far as we can learn, no
one was killed. Wcks6urg Herald,

Colonel Hawkins, member of Con-

at considerablele length TO the President

dltion of affairs here, and urging that
the proposition TO call oht the militia
he forestalled by the presence Of suf-
ficient regular force. To this letter
the President had not replied, when

Hon. JOHN BELL.--Through Col.
Andrew Erwin, who returned yes

where Mr.. Bell Is at present residing,
we have Intelligence from tile dis
tinguised Tennessee statesman which
will be one of interest not only to his
friends In this State, but all over the
country-and "their name Is legion. +"
The health Of Mr.. Bell IL about as
Usual, being afflicted with partial par
alysis, which greatly affects his speech
and renders his .enunciation some
what indistinct. In reply to ques-
tion ff'oin his visitor as to what he
thought of the nomination of the
New York Convention, Colonel Bell
remarked that he was delighted with
1t. The selection was eminently
wise. Hercgretted that he was phys
ically disabled from active participa.
ton in the canvass. When asked
about the condition of his health, Mr..
Bell answered, with emphasis, that,
although much enfcebled by disease,
he hoped yet TO live long enough To
witness the dlsenthrallment Of Ten
nessee and TO die free man, Nash.

sPBED or A WAvE.--A California
paper relates that "the earthquake
wave which followed the ereccnt erup-
tion in the Sandwich Islands was
transmitted to the Pacific coast, and
recorded on the government selfad-
justing tide guages at San Francisco
and Astoria In about five hours. On
the 23d of December, 1854, II similar
wave was transmitted from the coast
of Japan to the Golden Gate I'm twelve
hours and thirty eight minutcs."
FROM Hawaii to San Francisco the
distance is more than two thousand
miles. The impulse communicated
to the waters by the earthquake shock
proceeded, therefore, at the rate of four
hundred miles per hour, or 81 miles
per minute. This fact-if II is fiict-'
will be Of very great interest TO men
of science.

Carpet.bag Senators.

Both the United States Senators
from Florida are carpet-baggers.-
One of them, A. s. Welch, is sick
Michigander, who recently went to
Florida for his health. AbUah Gil
bert, the other, is from Otesego coun-
ty, New York. The Cooperstown
Journal says:
To those of our readers who know
Mr.. Abijah Gilbert, late of Butter
nuts, his election to the United States
Senate will be a matter of surprise;
and they can Judge from such ali elec-
tiOn what class Of men the negroes of
the South, under the control of the
Freedmen's Bureau and the army,
are placing in the councils of the ma
ton.
When I'm this county, Mr.. Gilbert
was u respectable county merchant,
in n small country village, without
any suspicion on the part of his
neighbors, or even of himself that he
had any qualifications for the high
Office of Senator of the United States.
With such men, under such influen.
ces, forced into the Senate of the Uni
ted States, that body will soon be held
in the estimation of the people of less
character and talent than Board of
Supervisors. -.
Judge Marvin, who is also well
known to many Of the citizens of our
county, and who held high judicial
position i'm the State of Florida,
and who Is well known here and in
that State to be an unflinching Union
man, had been elected to the Senate;
but he had too much character to be
made q tool for the use of the radical
leaders, and he wasreconstructed out,
and Mr.. Gilbert reconstructed in.

From all quarters of the globe the
good news of am abundant harvest of
everything that Is good and useful to-
Che human race, comes by telegraph
and mail. The cotton crop of the
South will Approximate nearly three
million bales which will sell Mt about
% cents per pound, and there is n
great plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Indeed the bountiiul hand of provi-
dcnce has not been withheld from
any portion of our country. All
kinds of fruit and grain, field and
vineyard will bless the efforts of the
husbandman once more. The South
almost exhausted from devastation
and drouth IL revived again amidst
the plentiful product Of her carefully
titled lands, while the crops in the
West and in the North, everywhere,
are unusually good. The prospects of
good harvest I'm Great Britain are
unusually flattering. The vineyards
Of France are laden with choice
grapes, which are ripcning earlier
than usual. The golden grain and
purple fruits of Germany and Italy
are unusually fine and abundant. lit
fact, from all parts of the globe cofiiei
ehc s"'ac h"ppy cNiucnce VI ofe Soou
time coming.
The we'll filied garners throughout
the land will give impulse to trade,
and the most fortunate results may bo
anticipated. Such blessings follow
ing famine in may parts of the coun-
try, and discouragements from va
rious causes throughout the whole
land, will inftise fresh hope and en-.
ergy. When the products of the
South are thrown upon the market
business vii! receive d new impetus;
merchants will doff their long faces,
and their countenances will again
assume the happy and cheerful ex-
preston which they wore In the quiet
and happy times of peace and plenty.
Wecannot hope that in single year
Of plenty business will revive to its
former health and strength, but 1t
will have salutary and healthful
effect upon the condition Of affairs
generally, an when the crops Of an
other year come in and when the
condition Of the finances Of our coun-
try becomes more settled, Of which
there is great hope within the next
twelve Inonths-as the election of
Seymour Is almost d certaihty-then
we may look for the return of pros
perity and our land will be abund-
antly blcssed.--Lou. Courier.
