The Cincinnati gazette has had
a correspondent in this city at in
tcrvals for several years, who
strangely enough, has never seen
amy thing to commend in that por-
ton Of the people of Tennessee who
do not believe that the salvation OF
the State depends upon retaining
all the power Of the government IN
the hands of the Radicals. His
presence here during the session OF
the Legislature which has Just
adjourned for the holidays, has
convinced him that liberal ideas
have made considerable progress
among the members of that body.
and consequently among the masses
of the Radical party. We are just
experiencing the waves Of liberal
ity which are spreading successfully
from fine Western and Northern
s,atos and he finds , laroe number
IF Ioodino Radicals in this State
who are responding f,vorabIy to
these indications of a broader and
more liberal spirit than has charac-
tcriscd the successful party since
the close of the war. How does he
meet this spirit in Tennessee?

CHRISTMAS
Has come again. 4

Has come again.
To our patrons and readers, one
and all, we extend the congratula-
tions of the season, and wish a
merry time and many returns of it.
What need to describe the origin
of this festival that every one, from
boar old age to Graded infancy,
feels in the bones. 1t has a history
in every heart that can be told by
tongues that lisp as we'll as tongues
that talk. With what hallowed as
ISOLATION the word goes ringing
like a chime down through the aisles
Of memory, and up, up, among the
garlanded pillars, the wax lights,
the glowing hearts, the scent of
cedars of day gone by How its
echoss ascend the hills of love, and
float down into lovely groves, and
awaken forgiveness from his SUM
bers, and send loving kindness to
set open the door Of the heart
Though Its festivities are conceded
to he but modified revels of the
Roman Saturnalia, it is, apart from
its feasts and rejoicings, "a time which
few among Us fail to keep holy"
With the return of that season
when shepherds watched their
focks by night, comes the renewal
of broken ties, the frmer cement
ing Of tender friendships, a burn
ishing of the pure gold of domestic
affection, and the angel of the heart
chanting "Peace and good will.
What visions of bygone Innocence
come with the remembrance Of the
Christmas Ewes Of long ago! How
our ye5rs fall away from US as We
recall the "auld lang syne." We
seem again to dream our dreams
upon a pillow smoothed by {
mothers gentle hand the purity
Of existence is unbartered, life is al
beautiful. We start awake at the
earliest dawn. In the grey lighf
dimly visible hangs the well filled
stocking by the chimney. In In,
morning silence we can almost heal
the beating Of little heart. Tbs
eager eyes with halffrightcneC
glance, survey for a moment the
mysterious treasure, then comes the
patter of tiny feet across the bed
room floor. What is cold or gloom
or darkness now? The prize is il
our hands; the reward for "being
good" for ever and ever SO long
old Santa Claus has bestowed upon
us, Has after life with its doubts
It's anXieties, its hopes, its crowned
ambitions, IFS struggles and its sue
cesscs ever brought us a pleasure st
pure, a prize more precious dhal
the Christmas stocking ofour child
hood? Oh ashes Of roses, what
sweetness is in thy dust!
With the tones Of long hushcC
Christmas bells. With the swcc

children, with the cracking fire.
and blazing logs in wide old coun

Of reindeer stecds and toy ladcI

him of his nomination:
"You'd scarce expect one of nv age,
To speak in public on the stage,
And if [ chance to foil below
Charles Sumner and Galusha Grow,
Don'tvie me with Ben. Buffers eye,
But pass my imperfections by.
From Marshalls pups great dogs do
blow;
From little colts great horses grow.
AS you'll agree, it is too late
For me to try to cultivate
The art of speaking. Therefore, I
Will let the little job go by.
IN only say that I'll fulfill
Whatever you, my friends, may will.
And it is now my full intent,
If I am chosen President,
To so discharge official duty,
That every act, my friends, will suit
you.
