A CHEERING OMEN.-A correspon-
dent OF the Charleston Courier, at
Orangeburg, states that .heielection
for Intendant and Wardens of the
town of Orangeburg, was held on
Monday, and passed off harmonious
ly and quietly. The result was in
favor of the entire Democratic ticket,
without serious opposition. The vote
was the largest ever polled in the
place at charter election. This is
cheering item, which we hope may be
indicative of like result throughout
the State in November next. y.lnl
Go TO Work. Hon. j. P. Reed
and Col. ". D. Simpson have been
nominated for Congress from the
Third and Fourth Districts, respect
lively. Let the Democracy go to
work and elect them. We learn that
York regards it her special duty to
pass her Judgment upon the radical
nominee, Mr.. A. s. Wallace, collector
of internal revenue. He may assess
the votes OF the Fourth District, but
he will find it harder to collect them /
than the United States taxes. p,5noss

The PUBLIC MEETING LAST NIGHT.
In accordance with previous notice,
Hon. J. P. Reed. of Anderson, the
Democratic candidate for Congress
for this District, addressed large
meeting last night, in front of Caro-
lima Hall. Colonel j. G. ,Gibbes was
called to the chair, and Mr.. w. G.
Swaffield requested to act as Secre-
tary of the meeting. Col. Reed re-
viewed the Observation-Disclosures with
great analytical precision and logical
force, and explained to the colored
people-of whom there were many
present-how their real interests were
to be promoted, by cooperating with
the natives of South Carolina, in de-
feating the purposes of the carpet-bag
government now holding high revel
in Janney's new State House. He
was needed with profound interest
throughout, and created most favor
ableimpression by the skill with which
he addressed himself, not only to the
educated portion Of his audience, but
also to those whose uncultivated in
telligence was best approached in
unornate and unmistakable language.
Col. Haskell and Col Thomas also
spoke, and Pleasant Goode made a
pertinent speech. Upon motion of
Col. Thomas, the following resolution,
was passed:
ReSolced, That the thanks of this
meeting be returned to Hon. j.. p.
Reed for his eloquent and able adj
dress, and that we hereby pledge TO
him the unwavering supp ort Of the
Richland Democracy. til

An AneCdote of Lincoln.

In q certain case in court Mr.. Lin
coin had for his legal opponent a
lawyer whose excellent character,
thorough knowledge of law and su,
perior logic com bined to exert a con-
trolling influence oyer the jury
This lawyer (whom we will call
Judge Jenes) bad made his speech.
and most able speech it was. 1t
was necessary in some way to dis:
sipate its impression Mr.. Lincoln
opened his speech substantially, as
follows: MAY it please the court
and gentlemen of the jury, we have
just heard the learned and mastery
argument on the other side. We
know how thoroughly versed is
Judge Jones in the law, and how up
right he is, and we say the Judge
cannot be mistaken in his positions
We also know how true a gentleman
Judge Jones is, how irreproachable
are his manners and dress; and |
presume if l should say to you that
Judge Jones had put on his shirt
wrong side foremost this morning
you would reply it was impossible
and yet Judge Jones has put on his
shirt wrong side foremost this morn
ing; you can look for yourselves,
gentlemen, and so in this case. he
has got things wrong end foremost,
ap6 bip uho1o arDnpnoot I,
from beginning to end" Sure
enough, the irreproachable lawyer,
while .Eonderlng over his coming
speech, had dressed himself in the
mistaken manner indicated. After
the laugh had subsidized consequent
upon the detection, Mr.. Lincoln an
alyzed the argument of the Judge
and won the case.

THE SHINPLAsTER DEMoCRACY.-
Years ago the Democracy claimed to
be distinctively the hard money par
ty of the country. That was in the
days Of Jackson. But in these latter
days the Democracy have repudiated
that plank, along with the army, the
flag, and other national traditions
Unionism of Jackson has been fout-
ed for the secessionism of Calhoun;
and last disgrace Of all-the bullion
creed of Old Hickory has been sac
rificed to the demagogism of Pendle
ton. The old party which once ad-
vocated q national credit based on
gold, now proposes to build asystem
of national finances on an indefinite,
irresponsible, irredeemable emission
of paper Were anything needed to
prove the bastardy of modern De-
mocracy, it would be this. The
Democratic party of Vallandigham,
and Clymer, and Wood. and Seymour,
is cheap and worthless imitation of
the Democracy OF Jefferson, and
Jackson: and Douglas. Away with
the impudent fraud!
Modern Democracy has already
distinguished itself by one shinplas.
ter experiment in the financial sys-
TEN of the Confederacy, and, not sat
isfied with its collapse there, desires
to try it again. and on a larger
scale.
To what depths has this bogus
concern fallen when its only substi-
tute for craftsmanship is in the fee
BILE imitation of the exploded shifts
of expiring treason? Without brains,
heart, or conscience, the emocratic
party of our day is pitiable specta-
Gle, which history only occasionally
offers as an example and warning

you AND I.
BY WILLIAM H. BURLElGH.

You and I-You and I
The words go Ginning through my brain,
murmur them over and over again;
murmur them softly, i scarce know why,
When only the angels who love me hear
And the dearest angel of all seems near,
With her luminous eyes looking lovein mine;
With her large, dark eyes, whose depths divine
Are filed to the brim with tendernesses;
And my brow, where the hot blood throbs and
Partly with thought and partly with pain,
To an unseen hands unseen caresseS
Yields, for an hour, its feyer-heats,
And wears the smooth front Of its childhood
again.
You and I-You and I
What if either of us should dieS
Gould the hearts that have loved so tenderly
BE severed by death2 Not so-not sol
My soul leans out from its house of clay
W hen the breeze that has famed your cheek
And says, 'she is neari Ifeel the touch
% SJ;il hlerllps to mine of her hand, at play
With ", my hair, as it did when, long ago
W sat IN the hush of the summer ewes,
Saying but little, but loving much
And believing all that love believes
And SO know. whatever may list,
Our souls shall keep their holy tryst
Through all the years of the life to be-
They shall meet and clasp and intertwine
And quaf of Loves nectarious wine,
Ill hlled and thrilled with bliss divine,
Ihey noat like halcyons, over the sea
That laves thy shores, Eternity!
Keeping their trySt whatever may list
all the years Of life to be.
1ou and I-You and L
We have drank of the cup which Joy hath bless'd,
And youth hath brimmed to its overflow,
And a sterner hand TO our lips hath press'd
The bitter sacrament of wo!
Yet, whether the sunshine bright or warm
Or the geld breath of the winter Storm
Be over ourpath and in cur sky,
One thing, whatever is false beside
Though Youth. with its lustihood and pride,
And the stern ambitions of life's full prime,
And the deeds which delye and the hopes which
climb
Shall fall, and the tide ebbing low,
Jome back no more with its vital flow
ct love still shapes our destiny,
Love reigns DER all triumphantiy,
Love lives through all Immortality,
Love is its own eternity
And we are Loves, and cannot die!
