Radical Love for the Negro.

The ''Ha,ut}' o.lils 4J,eItion to the cold
ness viii. which the negro Congressman
from Loui7aDa is received by the Radicals
in the House. The editor says:
AT first. fer a long, Uncomfortable time,
he was left severely alone upon one of the
sofas in the rear of the hall. The poor fell
low annoyed at the social ostracism to
which his Radical colleagues from the
Northern States most iilogically condemn
ed him, arose and sought in vain for an op-
portunitF "a secure desk Everywhere
the Radicals !urned ii, their noses as he ap-
proachei, and at length lie felt compelled
to leave tho Door ot tae House IN disgust
and to ee@ reiasa IL 5ae gallery behind the
great clock, where a hundred or more Of
hi own rave Were coagregatei and Kept
him IN cpuurcnunre."

J. AND MRS. BLAIR AS THEY
RIDE INTO WASHINGTON.

A friend describes to us the appearance,
Of old Nlr. and Mrs. Blair as they ride int
! Washington City. He is now seventy-eigh
years old, and his wife is seventy-six--
They live SIX miles from Washington, at
country seat in Maryland, known as Silvel
Springs. Nearly every day they both ride
into Washington on horseback and wehr
they do not come 10 Washington, they ride
as far III the opposite direction Mr.. Blail
wears broad -brimmed slouched hat and
looks like the relic of century ago. He
Is very thin !; his legs are hardly larger than
common man 5 wrist and, by the time
he gets iuro the city, his trowsers hayeslip-
ped half way up TO his knees. Mrs. Blair,
who is robust. tine-looking old lady,
We rs Il broad Quaker sun-bonnet, made of
paste board slips, so that she can gather it
all up in her hand, and "A white dimity short
dress
Ir. Blair always rides abouta length and
4 half OF the horse ahead of her He rides
up to the steps in front of Montgomery
Blair house, throws the reins down on
the horses neck, dismounts, and proceeds
directly up the steps. The horse drops
his head and stands still. Directly Mrs.
Di,ar rides up, switches her husbands
horse away, gets of her horse. and follows
her husband into the house.
One end OF this house is occupied by
-. Il.
graduate Of West Point, once Judge in
Missouri, an otice-hoider under buchanan,
Postmaster General under Lincoln, a
friendly nlaa, Il tirstrate hater, and very
yir}lleat politician and stump speaker; and
the other end is occupied by Rear Admiral
Lee, who married the only daughter of old
M Blai2, aad made ninety thousand dol
hats prize money before he stopped the reb-
els f.,n raLEing the blockade at Whining
TN daciuS the late war.
The mansion where Montgomery Blair
lives. and where old Mr. and Mrs. Blair
aIight rs they ride into Washington, is the
one III which Senator Benton formerly lv-
el. Il IS situated across the street, in front
Of the White House AMI nearly opposite
the War Department.
Ol3 Mr.. Iiair was originally engaged in
banking iii Kentucky. He was brought to
Washington by Gen. Jackson, between
whom and himself Il warm and lifelong
friendship subsisted. The old GloJe, edited
by him. and Published by Blair and Rives,
was the great organ of tie Democratic par
ty in the days of Gen. Jackson, and was
powerin the land The Blairs and the Ere
monts were strong friends until the separa-
ton which took place between them at St
Loui7 during the war and which proved in
jurious to both parties.
Probably there is no other man living
who has held 50 many important interviews
with Presidents in the White House as
Francis p. Blair. ST. 1t was he who look
ed out at the request of Gen. Jackson,
suitable place in which to interline in one
of Old Hickory's messages the following
words:
Il take the responsibility.
Old Mr.. Blair has certainly a remarks
bic career as a politician. He has been
friend. faithful, bold, and powerful, as an
emenv, malignant, chivalrfc and fornida-
be.

WATCH !,

Already three bills have been Introduce
in Congress for the amendment, or rather
the abolition of the naturalization laws
This is clearly evinces the purpose OF tht
radical tricksters to shnt ont immigrants
from foreign lands, from the privileges oi
American citizenship. II is the avowed
purpose of these scheming rascais to rein
troduce into politics the old exclusive ideas
Of Know-nothingism and to that end Con
gress is to be made the principal instru-
ment.
Are the liberal, Democratic people of
America prepared to accept this narrow
minded and aristocratic programme? Ar,
we at last to retrogTade to that political
level from which the lowest in the scale Of
civilized nations, China and Japan, are
even now about to emerge? l. this land
of the free to be walled in with laws which
will exclude from the broad shelters 'of ollr
Constitution, the oppressed people of
other lands? What do We not owe to the h;,r.
dy and thrifty toilers, who have come over
mines and build railroads? Nay, who are
we ourselves, but the sons and grand-sone
of foreigners who came here to he Ameri-
can citizens just as others are coming to-
day And it is proposed that we erect "A
barrier In the way OF these men who seek
our shores that they may enjoy the rights
and immanities of free people 1t IS
proposed that we make them travel the
longest possible road TO reach the priv
ile9es of citizenship 1t is proposed that
we hamper with adverse legislation, the
refugee from foreign persecution, who as
he first stands upon American soil. Colan2
busrGke, stoops to kiss the earth, rot, In-
deed, because he has found q new world
but because. under the generous spirit of
our Constitution and laws, he hopes soon
to call himself an American citizen Can
it be that So iliberal, SO contracted prop
osition as this is to be seriously entertain
ed by the representatives of this great, no.
bic and generous people? Yes radical
demagogues are readyto perpetrate any
iniquity, no matter. how Infamous which,
in their judgment, looks 10 securing them
in place and power. 1t is even so-Congress
is about TO attempt to make another Japan
out Of this country. High tariff to cx-
clude the cheap goods manufactured
abroad, and naturalization laws to
exclude foreign-born people from citizen
ship, are to do the work.
Therefore, we say unto all people of lib-
eral principles, Watch !" Therefore. we
say to the German, the Irishman, the Eng
ishman, the ,Welshman, the Scotchman,
foreign-born citizens OF every nationality,
Watch" !" In your veins, III ours, 1ow
the blood of the men who are to be ia
booed under the new Know nothing regime
They who are to be prescribed are your
kinsmen and ours Shall we sit with fold
ed hand, whilst policy looking to the ez-
clusion of your kindred and ours from the
rights which we enjoy, is about to be es-
in this boasted land of free lom ?
Never, never! We repeat it then, WATCH,
and especially, WATCH TIRE RADICAL LEAD

I'LL NEVER FLIRT AGAIN

(That is, they told me sO),
And everywhere j wandered
Ialways had beau
At all the balls and parties
held the highest rein,
But now-ah, well no matter;
I'll never firt again.
I'd lovers then in plenty
Who whispered in gentle words,
And with them would linger
Among the flowers and birds.
And often they would beg me
To quell their bosom's pain,
But / would-well, no matter;
I'll never flirt again.
The years were swiftly gliding,
But still did not care;
My heart was gay and happy,
Iyet was young and fair.
And still my lovers sought me,
Though they we're on the wane;
I'm sorry now, but really
I'll never fiirt again.
At last all my admirers
Dropped from me, one by one;
My glass told me the reason &:
The merry race was run.
My rivals called me "fickle,"
And said l was ''insanc y
laughed then but believe me,
I'll never fiirt again.
I'm not 20 bad Pm sure, now,
For sense has come with years,
And all my youthful follies
Are paid for with my tears.
An sold maid" now they call me;
1t gives me grief and pain;
What shall dot What shall II
I'll never flirt again.

A BACHELORS ODE TO BRIGHAM
YOUNG.

Iwould were Mormon,
With four-and-twenty wives,
With twice hundred children,
And twice ten human lives;
I'd raise me up kingdom,
All of my kith and kin,
And make little paradise,
For all that dwelt within.
And is it well, o, Brigham Young,
Or is it rightly done,
That you have over forty wives,
And have nary one;
And is it well your children count
About five score and three,
And not single child can trace
His virtues down from me
You're but an ordinary man,
Your merits are but small,
And what a fractional poor part
To each your children fall!
While perchanee on two or three,
My genious could bestow,
And might thus prove parent to
a Newton--Or Il Poe
No sewing buttons on for you,
No rents are wanting stitches,
You have a spouse for everything,
One for each pair Of breeches
And then, when weary day is DER,
Each evening of your life,
You have a house to visit, and
A new and blooming wife.
My love is bOundless as sea,
As certain 10 endure,
Enough for four loving wives,
I'm feeling very sure
Then what shame, o, Brigham Young,
You've one for every day,
While in single, sad estate,
Must mourn my life away.
