In mortal form, the son Of COT
Died for the SONS Of men.
And they who in the Martyr found
Their saviour, walled and wept,
That gorgeous horrors should abound
Where Christ the blessed slept
From CLAM rous towns and forests hush,
As cascades from the gloom
Orcaves, crusaders eastward rush
TO win the holy tomb.
Their corsclets, steel and silver bright,
Meath swaying plumes displayed,
Now dance, like streams, In lines OF liaht
Now loitor on in shade.
Their crosses glow in every form.
Inspiring vale and mart,
As through the veins of earth they swarm,
Like blood back TO the heart.

Caught in a Trap.

THREE men once walked through
railroad car on its way to New York,
looking about them sharply, as if in
search of some one. Presently, one Of
them laid his hand on gentleman who
was half asleep in one ofthe seats, and
said, "Will you have game ""-"No,"
thunderod he in reply. He was vcXcd
at being walked up so rudely and, be
sides, he was one who never played
cards so he answered in very strong
way. "Wcll, you needn't take fell
lows head Off for asking YOU" return
ed the first, and passed on with his
companions to the next car. They
were in quest Of somebody to gamble
with them.
| They looked around here, and soon
saw a man who appeared easy and
good-natured; and they invited him.

"but it's sort of dull here, and don't
know but | Will have game"
"Bctter not" said gentleman at his
elbow; "they're sharpers." But he
needed not the warming. He went
over and Joined the card-players, and
the first and second games he beat.
"You're pretty 'cute player" said
they: and he began to think the same
though he had never been considered so
anywhere else.
"Let's put down dollar just for
fun" proposed one of the men as they
divided for the third game. They
PLAYED and the stranger won the dollar,
and grew quitrp proud of his skill; and

hand out ten dollars to these strange,
ugly-looking men. When he went

and, as he sat down, he muttercd,
"Well, wa, Il fool that's all about
it," His friend who had warned him
smiled a queer kind ofa smile,as much
Il. to say, "C0UgH IN Il Yrap."
Tom Richardson had been hard
drinker, but was reformed, and row,
for five years, had not touched drop
of any thing that could intoXicate; and
he was very careful, too, not to go into

and in order that our cDmrAdc dcsmay fully
understand from whence issue these calls
their objects, and in whose interests
they are to operate, this address is
issued.
The following extract is a specimen
from one of the calls referred to, now
being circulated, against which it be-
comes our duty to warn you:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec, Is 1867.
At conference of Union soldiers and
sailors held in this city, on Monday,
December 1G, 1867 to consider the pro-
priety ofcalling national convention,
resolutions were unanimously adopted
recommending that an invitation be
extended to all loyal persons who have
served in the military or naval service
of the United States, to unite in issuing
a ca. for a national convention, to be
held in May, 1865, for the con-dera-
tion If national questions, and the nom
inat IN Of candidates for President and
Vic President of the United States.

The rurport of those call. would lead
many to believe that these proposed
conventions were to be held solely in
the interests of the soldiers and sailors.
But do not allow Yourselves to be de-
ceivcd by cxpcdiency men and design
ing politicians. Under the prctext Of
serving soldiers and sailors they are
laboring TO dcludc you into their ranks,
after which the same fraud, falsehool
and ingrattude will be practiced upon
you that has been so signally cvinced in
the past.

Since the letter of Blair, with the
endorsement of the New York Con-
vention, robbery, arson, and murder,
by the Democratic Ku-Klux in the
South, have become a matter of almost
daily occurrence. No man who was
a patriot during the war, is safe in
property or life, in the Southern
stronghold of Democracy. The old
spirit of treason is revived, by the ac-
ton of the Democratic party, and
Seymour's election is to be the signal
for revolution and civil war. Loyal
men, white and black, are to be driv-
en- from the rebel States by mob vio-
Ience, or butchered in cold blood if
they have the temerity to remain
Upon this point the Chattanooga
(Tenn.) Union, Of Aug. 10, 1868,
says:
"Suffer any and all taunts or tyran-
nv until after November, atd then
WELL, WE WOULD RATHER BE A MN
BILE SQUIRREL THAN A WHITE BADI-
CAL.
Such is the diabolical spirit which
the Democratic leaders have again
aroused in the South. If Seymour is
elected, the 500, 900 secretly organized
and armed assassins, the rebel Ku-
Klux, will by force attempt to over
throw the Governments of the rebel
States, and thus again plunge the ma
tion into the horrors of civil war
Hence a vote for Seymour is a vote
against the peace of the country By
electing the heroic conquerOr OF trail
tors, can not the peace of the nation be
preserved? Grant is for loyalty and
peace, Seymour and Blair for treason
and revolution.-[ Marietta Reg.

Horace Greeley on Judge Thur

Horace Greeley on Judge Thur
man.
The New York Tribune, which dis
cusses the debt question with a vigor
that is refreshing, concludes an article
on "National Swindling," after giving
a lengthy quotation from Judge Thur
mans sandusky Speech, as follows:
Here it is plain that Mr.. Thurman
proposes to pay off 81, OO,OOO,OOO of
interest-bearing debt by simply print
ing off a like amount Of non-interest-
bearing promises, payable at no time
and in nothing, and say to the public
creditors, t.take these or nothing
your interest stops from this day."
He who does not feel that this would
be naked, unblushing villainy-that
would put piracy to the blush and
crimson the brow of burglary-must
be destitute Of moral sense. Mr.. Thur
man knOws-he cannot but know
that the issue of 81, 300, 100000 of new
Greenbacks, with no provision for
for their payment, Woald destroy the
value Of Greenbacks almost entirely.
Such an issue would not merely wipe
out the National Debit would wipe
out all debts whatsoever. The trustee,
the executor, the guardian, would be
enriched by the spoilation of the widow
and the orphan; while the means of
the poor deposited in savings banks,
life insurance companies, &C., would
be practically cOnfscated. Yet he calls
on the people to pay their National
Debt, not by earning, or saving, or any
form of self denial, but by naked fraud.
And ne quotes men of decent repUte as
endorsers of his villainy. Is it not
high time that they should ''stand
from under?"

Spirit of the Southern Demo-
cratic Press.

We are receiving more letters than
we can answer, inquiring whether
the cut which appeared in the Com
mercial of Saturday was really copied
from an Alabama paper. or whether
it was invented at this office, with the
purpose ofeXpressing the spirit Of the
Southern Democratic Press, as we
understand Is!
Ofcourse the cut appeared in the
Independent Monitor, Of Tuscaloosa,
Alabama, Of the date OfSeptember 1st.
We took ths Alabama paper to an
.engraver ard directed him to repro
duce the cut nothing eGtenuating,
and setting down haught in malice.
He did his work we'll. The cut, as it
appeared III the Commercial, can only
be distinguished from the original by
the better ink used and impression
taken.
Inquiries are particularly made as
to whether the word Ohio was upon
the carpet-bag of one of the hanging
figures. It was, certainly. And the
headline over the cut was in the Al
ALBANIA paper: ga prospective scene
in the City of Oaks, 4th of March,
1863" This line differs as it appears
in the Commercial from the copy, in
the fact that the Alabama paper had
the words "City of Oaks" in quota
ton marks. In the Commercial these
marks were omitted.
In the Alabama paper the cut and
the accompanying matter was dis
tinet warning to Northern emigrants,
that they might expect a general
hanging on Seymour's Inauguration
day. The notice to Ohioans, Of whom
a large number have settled IN Ala
bama, was especially impressive. The
whole paper-the Independent Moni- |
tors rank with the most deadly
malignity.
The cut occupied the breadth of
two columns, and was followed by an
article in large type, just as it appear
ed in the Commercial! This article,
after exulting over the reaction"
which the rebels of Alabama are so
foolish as to believe will result in the
election of Seymour, and crying ''wOe,
