and upon those three grounds that
have mentioned; first, that the power is
clearly in the Congress of the United
States, and is not conferred specifically
upon any other department; secondly,
the power In Congress to admit new
State governments, covers this State,
and authorizes Congress to organize q
government for the purpose Of being ad-
mitted; and thirdly, the duty which the
Constitution imposes upon Congress to
take care that at all times there shall be
a republican State Government for each
State-from that ground alone the power
is clearly deducible-from these three
facts-from these three separate sources,
we derive the power Of Congress to or
ganize State governments for the rebel
.lious States, which were left at the end
of the war without any form OF govern
ment whatever. have proposed this
evening to confine myself strictly to a
discussion OF the Constitutional power
Of Congress. and shall leave it for an
other occasion, perhaps at Galena, on
Friday evening, to discuss the other in
dependent questions, of how wisely and
how well Congress has exercised that
Constitutional power. This is distinct
subject-too full to be spoken Of here
tonight under the circumstances, and
at the foot Of a speech. ! shall leave
the subject of reconstruction, then, with
this imperfect discussion Of the Consti-
tutional power OF Congress. Thst is.
the only issue which the Democratic
platform makes on the subject. They
do not question the details of their acts
They struck the death blow to the sys-
tenn by saying that the whole proceed
ings are unconstitutional, and therefore
void IF have succeeded in convinc-
ing you that Congress has the constitu-
tional power, my object has been accom-
plished, aud that was all 1 intended to
do when I came upon the platform.

THE NATIONS PRAYER.

New York for fast day service, first appeared in the
New York Post, August 3, 1864. Its words seem

DIVINE COMPASSION.
By JOHN wH1rrrxR .

JOHN WHITTI&R. FA45t
Long since, dream of heaven had,
And still the vision haunts me Oft;
see the saints in white robes clad, 80
The martyrs with their palms aloft.
But hearing still, in middle song.
The ceaseless dissonance of wrong;
And shrinking, with hid faces, from the strain
OF sad beseeching eyes, full Of remorse and
pain.
The glad song falters to q wall,
The harping sinks to low lament;
Before the still splifted vail
see the crowned foreheads bent,
Making sweet the heavenly air
With breathings of unssl6sh prayer;
And voice saith: 80, Pity which il pain,
o, Love that weeps, I'LL up my suferings which
remain I" a @
Shall souls redeemed by me refuse
To share my sorrow in their turn p
Or, sin forgiven, my gift abuse s
Of peace with selfish unconeern3
Has sanity ease no plying caref
Has faith no work, and love no praysrf
While sin remains, and souls in darkness dwell,
- Can heaven itself be heaven and look unmoxed
Then through the gates Of pain, I dream,
sRa A wind Of heaven blows coldly in;
Fainter the awful discords seem,
The smoke of torment grows more thin,
Tears quench the burning soil, and thence
Spring sweet, pale fowersof psnitence; eN
And through the dreary realm of mans despair.
Star-crowned an angel walks, and loi Gods
hope is there as
Is it . dream Il heaven 20 high
That pity cannot breathe its air;
Its happy eyes forever dry,
Its holy lips without prsysrf afe
o My God my God if thithsr led 7aaaf eoSs
By Thy free grace unmarried, -
No crown nor palm be mine, but let me keep
A heart that stil can fee1, and eyes that still
can weep. Na 4TG# va 10

A SCRPRIsE-A surprise dancing party from
town visited the residence of DR.. Stenberger, at
the Garrison, on Saturday evening last. Such
vast concourse of people-numbering about
fifty couples - was enough to surprise any>
body; enough to storm the garrison, or to eat
it out Of house and home, almost. But there
was room and cordial welcome for all. There
were reception rooms, eating rooms, dancing
rooms, with plenty of spare rooms left. And
on went the dance, six setts at time, with eve
rything lovely and lively. One astonishing fea-

merous sideboards and inches here and there

.,bsr DAYS, in a colder climate than this, where
n. merry jingle of the sleigh bell was heard from
,,rlv morn till dewy-no, frosty eve, for about
Gee months in the year so frequently, so con-
,,sptly that the novelty and romance of the
ching wore off, aud the sound would strike the
.,,d dull and monotonous. But that was in St.

uo,s we have but little snow and that little does
at usually last long. Last week sleighing was

more snow, sleigh rides are more frequent and
attended with greater pleasure-ifit it can be said
.bst there is any peasurable sensation attached
n this mode of conveyance for when sleighing
;s,good, the weather is always provokiugly cold.
We never went sleighing of late years, but what
= MA were reminded of cheap mode of doing the
thing. which was suggested by some one who
had evidently had some cold and cherries exS
nsrieuce at the business. He said that sleighing
could be done in this way as we'll as by the or
diuary mode "Take a large tub and fill it with
ice.cold water, sit yourself in an easy going
rocking chair, put your feet in the tub, wrap
Yourself up, head and all, get some one to rock
YOU gently, imagine yourself in a good sleigh,
and you will find in about ten minutes that you
have had splendid ride" Never having tried
this method, we will not recommend it, but one
can readily imagine that it would be about as
cold comfort as could we'll be devised. The
damsel who didn't like our last weeks item up

without snow was disagreeable-has full per,
