The Dream of Life.
TITS said that g life is but DREAM"
And likened to "a tale that's told"
But years have passed, nor doth it seem
While am gray, I'm getting old.
Yes, I am gray and wrinkled brow
Speak of the months and years that fed,
IT'S but dream to me somehow,
6 To think of loved ones that are dead.
All do dream and can it be
That was once a little boy?
It's all dream dream to me;
Yet this the thought now enjoy.
That shall wake when it is DER,
And never, never, sleep again,
But on the bright celestial shore,
In endless bliss with Jesus reign.
Then on we weeks, and months, and years,
Nor stay the swiftly rushing tide;
THIS life is made of dreams and fears,
The TRUE is on the other side.''

SENATORIAL DRUNKENNESS.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York FREEDMAN discusses the
subject of " Senatorial Drunkenness, "
after the following fashion: Mr.. Sauls
bury is slender, ministerial looking
old sinner, who has crooked his elbow
so often during his life time, that a
semi-circular hole has been worn by
the glass in the lower lip, and whose in
ternal economy, like smouldering coal
spit, is nearly burned out : he is prob
ably one of the finest specimens of the
aristocratic drunkard in the United
States, preserving as he always does,
scrnpulous neatness of dress and Dig
nifty of manner, maudling though it is. ,
Mr. Yates is spoken of as g man Of
great heart-of generous impulses and
of acknowledged genius, but a poor,
unsteady Dick, whose waking hours are
full of good resolutions, but who never,
as yet, has been able to battle success
fully with his own weak head" In the
picture of Mr.. Patterson, these redeemS
ing traits are wanting. He is large,
broad .shouldered man with a square,
red,face, which for brilliancy of coloring
surpassed by any other nasal protu-
berance either in or out the Senate.
He doesn't profess to swear off, but
swims along in a ~tempestaos sea of
brandy, buffeting and struggling DIES
with the fiery waves which must soon
engulf him.

Taxes for Internal Ymnrovemen,s

The Charlotte O6Sercer man is howling
about the State debt and the wickedness
ofthe Republican party in increasing it by
making railroad appropriations. This one
idea man has not brains enough to see that
the best way to pay the debt is to provide
for the increase of the wealth of the whole
State. Take for instance, the appropriation
to the Wilmington, Charlotte g. Rutherford
Railroad This road will be the means of
vastly enriching that section of the State in
which he resides. The people of that sec
tlon know it and are clamorous for thu
completion of the road. They know it will
do much to relieve them from their present
distress. Does the Obsecer dare to tell the
people of Mecklenburg and Rutherford
c,'unties that the appropriation is foolish
piece OF Radical extravaganza Does it
dare to thus attempt to prevent the COM
plction of this road2 No, it knows that
such course would bring upon it the just
indignation of the people of those counties.
Why then does it oppose other appropria-
tioDsg Why is it unwilling to allow other
sections of the State to possess the same adj
vantages as enjoyed by its section2 1t
should reflect that other sections of the
State wish to have railroads as
well as its own, and should be
willing to see them equally well
treated. For one section of the State
to want the whole State taxed to
benefit itself, and then not he willing to
be taxed to help other sections would be an
exhibition Of meanness unworthy of North
Carolinians. Let all sections of the State
share equally in the benefits of internal i'm
provements, and let all be willing to pay
their part of the taxes. Then will every
part of the State be working for the mutual
good-the best and surest way to ensure the
prosperity of the State.
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1869-05-05
who Created the state Debt :

The Rutherford Vndicator is greatly ex-
ercised about the State debt That it is too
large will be acknowledged by every one.
But who created it? 1t is the work of that
traitorous party which claims the Vindicator
as one of its organs. 1t is the result of the
war into which the aristocrats dragged the
people of North Carolina. They created the
debt in their wicked attempt to destroy the
government of the people, that they might
rule forever. They it was who brought
about war which cost North Carolina
over $150,OO0,000. They it was who cost
the State the lives of fifty thousand of her
brave sons. They it was who have robbed
the commonwealth of its property, and
brought untold suffering upon the people.
This is the enormous debt that has been
created by the rebel Democracy. The addi-
tions that were made to it by the Leeisla-
ture were for measures of internal improve
ment which will benefit the people, and give
them back that prosperity of which these
traitors robbed them. The railroads will
give the farmer an easy mode of sending his
produce to the great markets. 1t will 90
direct and he will save that profit which is
now made by the "middle men, The me-
chanic will find constant and remunerative
employment. He has had none since the
war. The trade of the merchant will in
crease. Every branch of industry will be
benefited, and money will again be plenty.
The increased taxation will be compensated
for hundred fold by the increased value of
property and the increased reward of labor.
This is the debt the Republican party has
created. The people can Judge who it is
that has injured, and who it is that has
benefited North Carolina. The rebel debt
was created for the benefit of the aristocrats.
The comparatively small addition thereto
made by the Republicans was the unavoida.
BILE accompaniment of great future benefits
to the people.
This is getting to be better understood by
the people, and the clamor of the Copperhead
papers is losing effect. Ten years hence
there will not be sensible person in the
State who will not bless the day the railroad
appropriations were made. i.'' ~

The Sentinel is lying about the number of
its subscribers again. 1t says it has seventy
subscribers in the town of Oxford. Posi-
BILE, but extremely doubtful. Its assertion
that the STANDARD has but two there is an
other lie, for We have o0er tacenty! The
Postmaster of Oxford states that when 10.
Turner was there he asked how many SUBJ
scribers the STANDARD had in Oxford The
Postmaster says be began to tell him, when
Turner said that's enough, no matter
about the rest" He then publishes in his
paper that the STANDARD has but two sub-
scribers in Oxford We are informed by
gentleman who knows, that the number of
Se'atinels sent over the North Carolina Rail-
road has greatly decreased, and that nearly
one-half of those sent are marked with a
cross showing that the subscription has run
out and has not been reneued! The frantic
appeals for help made every day by the Senti-
net shows that it is in bad fix. The editors
travel over the State begging people to give
them something to keep their paper up, but
meet with bad success. The STANDARD
does none of these things for the subscribers
come in without solicitation, and we receive
tsoo new subscribers when the Sentinel gets
one, and, which is more, our old ones renew
their subscriptions. We eexpect to announce
the decease of the Sentinel in just about
three months, unless Bro Pcll takes it again,
In which case we think it will live about
four months.

The proclamation Of, Count Valmaseda,
says the New York Tribune ordering the
execution of every Cuban who may be found
away from his home without being able to
give satisfactory explanation, will be
classed among the most infamous exhibi-
tions of military despotism recorded in the
history of countries laying claim to civiliza-
ton. Wewould doubt the correctness of
the report, if the Cable did not state that
Cuban papers received in Key West contain
the proclamation.

The latest European papers contain the
proceedings of the Spanish Cortes on the
hrst articles of the draft. of The new Consti-
tuition An amendment to the first article,
which demanded the abolition of slavery in
cuba and Porto Rico, and another to the
second article, declaring the death penalty
abolished, were both rejected. With re-
gard to the slavery question, it was an
nounced that the subject would be fully
discussed after the arrival of the Deputies Of
from the West Indian colonies. aD
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1869-05-05

The city of Newbern is In trouble. Its
ambition to have first class market house
bids fair to result in the establishment of
first class graveyard. judging from the
number of quarrels already on the tapis.
The act for which the Newbernites were SO
clamorous either came too late or should
never have been passed. The different
branches ofthe city government are at log
ger-heads, and all is confusion worse con-
founded" We are sorry for our friends, and
hope they will make speedy adjustment of
heir difficulties, as the present condition
of affairs is not at all creditable to the city.
