Che0p Transportation.

The Springfield Republican has re-
marked that, in its opinion, the advan-
tages of the route by New Orleans, from
the West, for the transportation of grain
to Europe, and even to New England,
are very considerable, and that if not
counterbalanced by others yet to be put
in operation, st. Louis and New Orleans
would become rivals of Chicago and
Buffalo for the grain trade of the west.
Upon this the Chicago RdihOoy RepieW
remarks, that Chicago does not ignore
whatever seriousness the situation pos
sesses, and says that Il project is now
agitated for establishing unbrOken navi-
CATION for propellers of $50 tons, from
Lake Michigan to Montreal, and from
Montreal to New York, through Lake
Champlain and the Hudson river; and
that it is estimated that the work of ca
nal and river improvements and enlarge
ments necessary to this end, would cost
about ST., 600, 600 in gold.
The need of cheaper transportation
for grain and western produce, both fol
home use in the eastern States, sand fol
shipment to foreign markets, has of late
engaged the earnest attention of eastern
business men, as our readers are aware
and the excursions and interchange O
views between Portland and some O.
the western cities last summer, brought
about by the efforts of EX-Gov. Smith
were to canvass, encourage and promote
such an interest. With sufficient grair
stored in Oswego and Ogdensburgh dur
ing the summer, brought by water t.
those points, to afford winter occupation
for freight-trains on the route from thOs
points to Portland, and with the direc
rail communication which there sooI
must be with the. latter city, we do no
see why home freights cannot be mad
cheaper by the natural result of wha
will be a permanent and well establish
ed business and its accompanying ia
cilities. And whatever goes to cheaper
way freightage must also cheaper tn
transportation through to that neares
and best point on the Atlantic, so tina
foreign trade will receive material Ell
enlargement. But by whatever mean
it may be accomplished, there is n

The Young AMI Otd Democracy.

The Young Mems Democratic Union
Club of New York is worthy of greater
praise than the Base Ball clubs OF last
year. With health and well developed
muscles before them for prize, the base
ball clubs have subsidized into the volum-
nous catalogue of things which were,
and only appeal to our remembrance;
but the other club, which is political,
and has no promise of health, or any
other thing that we can imagine, clings
persistently to life, with the hope in the
future which is apt to belong to youth
so long as speculation takes the place of
action. The Democratic club of young
New Workers held enthusiastic meet
ings last year, as the public prints fully
showed at the time, and this year they
are trying to renew their aimless en-
thusiasm. But that the enthusiasm, and
perhaps the existence, of the club is an
aimless one, we have only to read and
deduce logically. While the eminently
and entirely respectable Horatio Sey-
mour, of the fossiliferous age of Demo-
cracv. counsels the nomination of that
original free Soler, Shannon L. Chase,
as a candidate of his party for the Presi-
dency, and the Albany Aryus, and 1.-THE
World, the flesh and the" democracy
generally are favoring in furtive ways
the heading of their ticket in such a
way; showing thereby that the party is
learning that wisdom which counsels
injecting better blood into its veins; the
young Men of the party in New York
city are engaged in the retrogressive
labor of putting the Usage ofWheatland, y
Jimmy Buchanan! "that grand old
sage, whom God preserves in his old
age" as they express it. If the Lord
has anything to do with the preserva-
ton of Mr.. Buchanan, in special way,
he is in better hands than most ancient
politicians, and the Young Mems clubs
might safely let him alone, and open
their eyes to the situation which the
older men of their party are preparing
for them. Instead of being behind in
welcoming better men, politically, than
they nave nau III lnclr TRIMS, they
should lead, or keep abreast If Mr.
Chase can induce the Democracy to take
such an advance as will allow him to be
their leader, it ought to be subject OF
rejoicing to the young and old of the
party and of all parties, for the better
our parties become, so much more sure
will be the people of the country thai
her rulers will be competent, and hel
destiny controlled by right principles
If the Democrats are compelled by poll
teal considerations to accept Mr.. Chase
as Il candidate, and make such a platform
as he can consistently consent to stanC
upon, it will be one of the greatest vic
tories of peace, and raise whole party
high and clear above the pit in which i
has fioundered too long. The elevation
of political parties above the need o
apostrophising the fossils of an almos
extinct species of politician, is thing
to be hoped for, and until the youns
men of party get ashamed of sucl
laudation they show little of the wisdom
they will need, if they hope for ultimate
success.

The following is from "a Bureau Majors

vember:
Nv worst perplexities arose from cases in
which had to deal with respectable white
citizens. Just imagine the North conquered
by the South, Confederate officers stationed
in every community as agents of the Cooper
head Bureau" and all the Bridgets of the
land flowing to them with complaints against
their masters and mistresses. Would not the
"Copperhead Bureau Agent find himself very
often in quandary? Would he be liable al
ways to satisfy both his clients, and his own
sense OF justice and social propriety?
Mr.. John Doe, one OF the leading citizens
of Greenville, complained to me that he had

Poetry.
By GEORGE cROLY.

ID
This was the ruler of he land
When Athens was the land of fame;
This was the light that led the band
When each was like a living flame;
The centre of eartb's noblest ring
OF more than men the more than king.
Yet not by letter, nor by spear,
His sovereignty was held or won:
Feared-but alone as ireemen lear,
Loyed-but as treemen love alone,
He waved the sceptre DER his kind
BY natures first great title-mind!
Resistless words were on his tohgue'-
Then eloquence first flashed below;
Full armed to life the portent sprung
Minerva from the thundereI's prov;
And his the sole, the sacred mana
That shook her egi5 DER the land.
And throned immortal by his side,
A woman sits with eye sublime
Aspasa, all his spirits bride;
But, ii their solemn love were crime,
Pity the beauty and the sage
Their crime was in their darkened age,
He persisted, but his wreath was won,-
He persisted in his height of fame:
Then sunk the cloud on Athens sun.
Yet still sne conquered in his name.
Filled with his soul, she could not di
Her conquest was Posterityl
