Democratic Jewels,

The great Democratic party will rise
in its might aod majesty, and pulverize
and purge the Congress, just as Crom
we'll purged the long Parliament. The
signs of the times are pregnant with
resistance to Radical tyranny, and the
dagger of Brutus may aid in accom-
plishing our redemption from Radical
rule, ruin and usurpation.-Moba
Tribune.
How clear that note used to ring
upon the air of Vicksburg, of night,
in years past! 1t will make the air res.
onant from the Rio Grande to the Poto
mac at the last irresistible charge next
November, cheering the hearts of our
Democratic friends, and crushing those
of our oppressors. Stand by that yell

If lit is true that slavery must be abol-
ished to save the Union, then the peo-
pie of the South should he allowed to
withdraw themselves from the Govern
ment which cannot give guarantees by
its terms.-Seynaour, in October, 1861.
What civilized people on earth would
refuse to associate themselves in all the
rights and honors and diguities of their
country, with such men as Lee and
Johnson?-F p. Blair, Democratic
candidate for Vice President.
The spirit Of Wilkes Booth still lives,

The trembling dew w-drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers, like souls at
rest;
The stars shine gloriously, and all
Save me are blessed.
Mother. love thy grave!
The violet, with its blossoms blue and mild,
Waves Ger thy head. When will it wave
Above thy child's:
lis sweet flower, yet must
Its bright leaves to the morning tempest
bow;
Dear mother, tits thine emblem-dust
Is on thy brow.
And could love to die
Toleave untasted life's dark, bitter streams,
by thee, as erst in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here,
10 stain the plumage of my sinless years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood dear,
With bitter tears.
Aye, I must linger here,
A lonely branch upon a withered tree,
Went down with thee.
Oft from life's withered bower,
In still communion with the past, 1 turn
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memory's urn.
And when the evening, pale,
Bows like mourner on the dim, blue wave,
1 stray to hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit fowns

Is on the air.

My brow upon thy grave, and in those
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child.

ilong! Whoo-ey!'
| Another frightful jolt, and Mr.. Gree
ley's bald head found its way through
the roof of the coach, amidst the crasl
of small timbers, and the ripping o
strong canvass.
rStop-you maniac !'' he roared.
Again answered Henry Monk
GIVE got my orders! Keep you
seat, Horace!"
At Mud Springs, a village a few
miles from Placerville, they met larg
deIegation of the citizens of Placerville
who had come out to meet the celebrat
ed editor, and escort him into town
There was a military company, bras
band, and six horse wagon load o
beautiful damsels, in milk-white dresses
representing all the States in the In
ion. 1t was nearly dark now but th,
delegation we're amply provided will
torches, and bon6res all along the roac
to Placerville.
| The citizens met the coach in 1ht
outskirts of Mud Springs, and Mr.
Monk reined in his foaming steeds.
"Is Mr.. Greeley on board?" said the
chairman of the committee.
"He was a few miles back y sait
Mr.. Monk; yes be added looking
Town through the hole in the roof Of
the coach which the fearful jolting bad
made-"yes, see him. He is there. >
" Mr.. Greeley said the C airman
of the committee, presenting himself al
the window of the coach, "Mr. Gree.
ley, sir! We come to most cordially
welcome you, sir-wby God bless me
sir, you are bleeding at the nose!'

Monk. My orders is as follows Git

Of sewing! Stand out of the way!''
But, sir" exclaimed the commits ee.
man, seizing the off leader by the reins
-"Mr. Monk, we are to escort him in
to town! Look at the procession, sir,
aud the brass band, and the young
women, sir ~
"Tve got my orders!" screamed
Mr.. Monk. My orders don't say
nothing about no brass bands and young
women. My orders says, Cit him
there BY seving!' Let go them lines
Clear the way there! Whoo-ep, keer
your seat Horace And the coach
dashed wildly through the procession,
upsetting portion of the brass band
and violently grazing the wagon which
contained the beautiful young women
in white.
Years hence gray haired men, who
were little boys in this procession, will
tell their grand children how this stage
tore through Mud Springs, and how
Horace Greeley's bald head ever and
anon showed itself, like wild appara
tion above the coach roof.
Mr. Monk was on time. There is a
tradition that Mr.. Greeley was very 10.
dignant for while; then he laughed
and finally presented Mr.. Monk with a
bran new suit of clothes.
Mr.. Monk himself is still in the EN-.
/! ploy of the California Stage Company
and is rather fond of relating a story
that has made him famous all over the
Pacific coast. But he says he yields tc
no man in his admiration of Horace
Greeley.

ovations awaited him at every town
lie had written powerful leaders 20 the
Tribune, in favor of the Pacific Railroad
which had greatly endeared him to the
citizens of the Golden State. And there
fore they made much of him when he
went to see them
At one town the enthusiastic popu-
ulace tore his celebrated white coat to
pieces, and carried the pieces home to
remember him by.
The citizens of Placerville prepared
to fete the great journalist, and an ex-
ira coach with an extra relay of horses,
was chartered of the California stage com
pany to carry him from Folsom to Pla-
cerville-distance, forty miles The
extra was in some way delayed, and did
not leave Folsom till late in the after
noon Mr.. Greeley was to be feteJ at
seven o'clock that evening, by the citi-
zens of Placerville, aud it was all to-
gether necessary that he should be there
at that hour. So the Stage Company
said to Henry Monk, the driver of the
extra, "Henry, this great man must be
there by seven to night" And Henry
answered, "the great man shall be
there
The road was in an awful state, and
during the first few miles out of Folsom
slow progress was made. "Sir," said
Mr.. Greeley, "are you aware that
must be at Placervile at seven o'clock
to night %
1--WE got my ORDERS" laconically an
swercd Monk.
Still the coach dragged slowly for
ward.
"Sir," said Mr.. Greeley, ''this is no
trifling matter 7 mast bethere at seven.
Again came the answer: I've got
my ORDERS
But the speed was notincreased, and
Mr. Greeley chafed away another hour :
when, as he was about to demonstrate
with the driver, the horses suddenly
started into furious run, and all sorts
of encouraging yells filed the air from
the throat of Henry Monk.
"That is right, my good fellow ? said
Mr.. Greely. "I'll give you ten dollars
when We get to Placerville. Now we
are going!
They were indeed, and at a terrible
speed.
Crack Crack went the whip, and
again that voice split the air "Git up !!
Hi, vi! G'long! Yip-yip."
And on they tore, over stones and
ruts, up hill and down, at rate of
speed never before achieved by stage
horses.
Mr.. Greeley, who had been bouncing
from one end of the coach to the other
like an India rubber ball, managed to
get his head out of the window, when
he said:
DO on't-on't-on't you-think we
|-e-e shall get there by seven if we
do-on't 60 so fast ?'
"I've got my orders p That was
all Henry Monk said. And on tore

1t was becoming serious. Already
the journalist was extremely sore from
the terrible jolting, and again his head
might have been seen at the window.

~ have got my orders!' Fresh
horses. Forward again, faster than be-
fore. Over rocks and stumps, on one
of which the stage narrowly escaped
turning summersault.

COOP HINTs.-On the subject Of
behavior, Leigh Richmond gives the
following excellent advice to his daugh.
ter:
"Be cheerful, not gigglers. Be se-
rious, but not dull. Be communicative
but not forward. Be kind, but moi
servile. Beware Of silly, thoughtless
speeches although you may forget them,
others will not. Remember God's eve is
in every place, and his ear in every
company. Beware of levity and ia
miliarity with young men; modest
reserve, witout afectation, is the only
safe path. Court and encourage serious
conversations with those who are truly
serious and convers;ble; and do not go
into valuable company without endeav-
oring to improve by the intercourse
permitted to you. Nothing is more
unbecoming, when part of a company is
engaged in profitable and interesting
conversation, than for the other to be
trifing, giggling, and talking compare
tive nonsense to each other. No true
lady would be guilty of such unpardon-
conduct"

Frank Blair and the Finnegans.

|
A spsech made by Frank Blair some
time since, in response to Fenian sere-
made at St. Louis, has been resurrected,
and is also working mischief to the ticket
on which his name appears. You prob
ably have seen it before, but it is worth
reproducing. He said:
"GENTLEMEN--Ia am with you, heart
and soul, and heartily say, God bless the
Finnegans., [ A voice-'Fenians, Gener-
all l know what l am talking about,
and 1 say Finnegans. Laughter and
confusion. And say hope to see
the cause flourish and prosper, and shall
bless the day when Ireland is governed
by Irishmen. In accomplishing this
laudable undertaking l will do all I can
to assist you. l will place myself if
needs be, at your head, march with you
to Staten Island, oversee you embark
alton, will stand on the most elevated
bluff on the coast, and if you raise the
green emblem overthe stars and stripes,
while your steamers, under full headway
are turning their prows to the East, 1
,ciU say goodbye, God bless you, and
may you be successful in your under
taking. May you lift the British lion
out of his boots, and wrest from his
grasp the emerald gem of the sea; but
whether or not you shall succeed in
this eudeavor, may you each and all
remain in Ireland or elseachere, and
neuer again set foot on these shores!
You are wanted there, and ace can get
along aoithout you!"
AN IRISH Within the
last few weeks, too, there have been
rapidly increasing signs of disafection
in quarter which the Democratic
party has always considered its impreg-
nable stronghold-the ranks of adopted
citizens of Irish birth. The New York
Ereeman's Journal, edited by J. A.
McMaster, long known as an infuen-
tial leader OF Irish Democrats, and
throughout the war one of the boldest
among Northern sympathizers with the
rebellion, referring to the condition of
the canvass, frankly says: "Our cor
respondence is of character to excite
our alarm. There is no use of disguis-
ing the fact that there is distrust and
disaffection among very many Demo-
Gratis.
The Irish People, another Demo-
cratic paper of marked influence with a
considerable class of adopted citizens,
has squarely abandoned Seymour and
Blair, and declared for Grant and Col
fax. The Irish Republic is another
Irish organ which is battling nobly for
Grant and the principles of universal
liberty, the establishment of which
would necessarily give freedom to Ire
land and to all oppressed peoples. This
thought is beginning to impress itself
upon patriotic Irishmen, who have been
heretofore SO generally caught by the
glitter of the Democratic name. They
begin to realize that the mission of
American Democracy as organized to-
day is to restore the sway of landed
aristocracy--just the sort of thing from
which their misery at home has chiefly
sprung.
