AN ELE6Y
on THE GLORY OF HER SEX, MRS. MARY
BhAIzE.
Good people all, with one accord,
lament for Madam Blaize,
Who never wanted good word
From those who spoke her praise.
The needy seldom pass'd the door,
And always found her kindi
She freely lent to all the poor
Who left pledge behind.
She strove the neighborhood to please,
With manners wondrous winning;
And never FOLLOWED wicked ways
Unless when she was SHINING.
At church In silk and satins new,
With hoop of monstrous size;
She never slumbered in her pew
But when she'd shut her eyes.
Her love was sought, do aver,
By twenty beaux and more;
The king himself has follow'd her
When she has walk'd before.
But now her wealth and finery fled,
slHer hangers-on cut short all;
The doctors found when she was dead
Her last disorder mortal.
Let us lament in sorrow sore,
For Nent-street well may say,
That had she lived twelve months more
She had not died to. day.

Voters!

You should remember that it was
the Republican party that upheld the
Union army andsaved the country.
That it has been and is the friend
of all, without partiality, fear or favor
bound to protect pooras well as rich,
in their rights. 1t believes in the hu-
mainly of all men, and advocates
equality before the law. 1t is a par
ty of moral ideas, sympathies and
principles. 1t is not alarmed at the
increase of churches, schOOl-hOuses,
and Christian associations; for as the
country progresses in these, the Ma
tional Union Republican party grows
stronger and more invincible. Young
man, this is the flag for you to rally
under.

Congress- Meets and AdiOurns.


Congress met on Monday last, and
was in session one hour and ten min
utes. Both Houses adopted a Joint
resolution to adjourn until October IS,
and that then, unless otherwise order
ed, further adjourn until Nov. 10,
and then unless otherwise ordered,
adjourn until the first Monday in
December. There was no further
Legislation attempted. The Democrats
tried to obstruct by refusing to take
their seats so as to prevent a quorum,
but despite their conduct a quorum
was secured in both branches, and the
adjournment resolution duly passed.
Most of the members left the same
evening for their homes.

The Attitude of the Demoeratie PartT.


In the platform of principles adop-
ted by the Democratic National Con-
ventiOn, the reconstruction laws of
Congress, including the 18th Constitu-
tional Amendment, which has been
duly ratified by the requisite three
fourths of the States, is declared null
and void, and that party say they
should be resisted and overturned by
force. The Democratic party has de-
clared for force and violence. 1t has
taken a position it cannot maintain
i~egitimately, but only by rebellion and
revolution. Their platform is avirtu-
al declaration of war. There is an ex-
plicit war declaration in Frank Blair's
letter, written a few days before the
New York Conventions letter that
was put into the hands of every men,
Der of the Convention. He said the
Democrats mieht elect a President and
a majority of the House of Representa-
tives, but owing to the peculiar Organi-
cation of the Senate they could not
get a majority there for several years,
hence they could not repeal the re-
construction laws, but it would be the
duty of their President to employ
military force to overturn the South
ern State governments.
He further said, the questions of
finance, of currency, of tariff, are all
outside of the issue, there is but one
great question, and that is the ques-
ton of reconstruction; there is but
one great thing to be done now, and
that is to overtUrn whathas been done,
and destroy the new governments by
military power. Upon that PROPOSE
ton General Blair was nominated
unanimously and enthusiastically
nominated by a rebel General pres
tom from Kentucky, and his nominal
ton seconded by two other rebel Gen
erals-Wade Hampton and Fit. Pillow
Forrest.
This is the attitude of the Demo-
cratic party, and their greenback theO-
ries are but weak inventions to draw
away public attention from the real
and more diabolicaI scheme they have
cOncOcted to bring on another war
and reinstate the South in power.

with the concern, somuch confidence had he
In its soundness n integrity. Yet, strange
to say, these notes, with those OF other veal
thy men, with nearly the whole financial bu-
sineSs Of the'house were in the hands OF the
young manager in New York, who, with
none to check or control him, did as he
pleased with the funds. Every one thought
him honest. Every one confided in his in
tegrity- All believed that he was doing the
business of the concern squarely and with
great ability.
In the meanwhilehe took a turn at Harry
Hills ito relieve the pressure OF business"
Low amusements, n the respectable COM
pany he found, suited him; Prom a specta-
tor he became a dancer. From dancing he
took TO drinking. From the bar he entered
those paths to which Harry HIS saloon Is
the entrance. He tried his hand at light
play. He then went into gambling heavily,
was stripped every night, drinking deeply
all the while. He became enamored Of fam
cy women, clothed them in silks, velyets and
jewels, drove them 1 n dashingt eamst through
Central Park, secured them fine mansions.

AL this while keeping the coincidence Of his
sipated look went to his devotion to business.
Men who met him daily had no Idea that he
was bankrupt in character, and had led the
great house with which he was connected to
the verge of ruin. The New England mana
ager of the house was the father OF the young
man. His reputation was without n stain,
and confidence in his integrity was unlimit-
ed. He had the management OF nan es-
tates, and held large sums of trust money in
his hands belonging to widows and orphans.
In the midst of his business, in apparent
health, the father dropped down dead. This
brought things to a crisis, and an exposure
Immediately followed. The great house was
bankrupt, and everybody ruined that had
any thing to do with 1t. Those who supposed
themselves milliOnaires found themselves
heavily in debt. Widows and orphans lost
their all Men suspended business on the
right hand and on the left. In gambling,
drinking, in female society, and in dissipa-
ton generally, this young fellow s~quandered
the great sum of one million four hundred
thousand dollars. He carried down with
him hundreds of persons whom his vices and
dissipation a ruined. And this is but a
specimen of the reverses towhich a fast New
York life leads. He may be seen at any day
reeling about the street, Longing around
bar-rOoms, or attempting to steady his steps
as he walks up and down the hotel entrances

A Rebel Flag in a Democratic Process
sion.

At a Democratic meeting in Akron,
last week, among the flags carried in
the procession was one containing the
names of Seymour, Blair and JEFF.
Davis. The Democrats did a very
foolish thing in placing their candi-
dates for President and Vice President
upon the same banner with the
infamous leader of the most infamous
rebellion in the worlds history. But
Tout of the fullness of the heart the
mouth speaketh," and no doubt this
act was prompted by feelings of deep
sympathy with poor old Davis. 1t
may be, too, that some of that party
thought to honor Seymour and Blair
by coupling Davis with their names.
1t is possible there are persons outside
of that party who think that after all
there is not a very great difference in
the political status of these three
Democratic worthless, save in the i'm
pOrtant particular that Davis has done
more hard work for that party, during
the past eight years, than either Sey-
mour or Blair. The real gritty
Copperhead, dearly loves JEFF. Davis,
and when he has an opportunity, can
not avoid betraying his partiality for
him.

Disfranehisement of CrippIed Soldiers.

Disfranchisement of Crippled Soldiers.
The Democrats in the Ohio Legisla-
ture, last winter, never lost an oppor-
tunity of making a dagger thrust at
the Union soldiers; and especially
were they bitter toward the crippled
soldiers at the Home for disabled he
roes, at Dayton. By the law passed
by the Union party, three years ago,
the disabled soldiers were privileged
to vote in the township or district in
which the Home was located. But
the Democrats repealed this law
every Democrat voting for its repeal,
and every Republican against-and
hereafter the crippled and disabled
'Royi in Blue who has a home Orfam-
lily elsewhers, or who does not make
the Home his permanent residence, is
not allowed to vote there, and is
therefore virtually DISTINGUISHED
That is the way Democrats revenge
themselves on crippled soldiers.

b~The Democratic paper having
the largest circulation in the Union, lisa
paper published in a comparatively
unknown town, in Wisconsin. The
secret of its great popularity with the
Democrats is that it is a bold and reck-
less advocate of unconditional repudi-
alton of the National debt. This fact
certainly indicates that a great many
of the Democratic party are in favor
of swindling the national creditors,
and of placing our credit on a par with
that of the Confederate government.
How sadly has that party degenera-
ted, when it advocates a course of ac-
ton no better than highway robbery.

BI=Some wag sold the Democracy,
on Wednesday of last week, by send
ing a telegram, purporting to come
from the New York World office,
stating that the official vote of Maine
had been receivd, which cut down the
Union majority to $1,000. You
should have seen the connection in
the Ku KIux camp, for the space of a
few hours. The more excited ran to

and extended coat tails, saying, 81

to have, a one of the more sanguine
declared, ga snortin old time" But,
alas! the evening papers exposed the
sell, and as a consequence there was a
speedy resumption of weak knees and
languid coat tails, but nary, a "snortp'
