WINTER NOR MING.


Bright the eastern sky is beamiua
On the earth's fresh dress of snow,
Flushed with sky tints softly cleaning,
That no pencils touch can show
Dressed in crystals, gay and shining,
Every branch both high aud low,
All the diamonds hues combining,
sparkles in the mornings glow.
Slowly like a serpent twining,
Darkly blue, the waters flow;
While colors, like the pearl SHELLS lining,
Tint the banks Of virgin snow.
Like the summers spectres frighted,
Darkly looms the evergreen
On the hillside dimly lighted
BY the winter mornings sheen.
In the woods the jays are winging
Back and forth from tree TO tree,
To The cheery natin singing
On the merry chioadee.
The squirrels start up from their mapping
In the hollow maple tree.
Where the woodpeoker is tapping
All around his reYeille.
Meath the torquoise vault 20 streaming
Crowds Of jeity crows--that ny,
Like Nights rearguard, from the cleaning
OF the rosy morning sky.
Up then, when the Nights reign closes.
Al who llcalths great prize would seek
For though Winter claims no roses,
Sull he plants them in the check.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-06-24

. w. J. SYKES stated in his speech
last Tuesday that iron was taken from
Hale Il Murdoch's iron-works, San
ford county, Alabama, to Columbus,
Mississippi-a distince of twenty-five
miles-in wagons, then placed on the
cars and sent to st. Louis, where it
was sold for several dollars pei ton
more than any other iron, because it
was the best in that market. This
iron should have been brought to
Memphis, and with proper railroad
facilities will always hereafter reach
this market. Every factory erected,
every furnace and rolling-mill estab-
lishedI every eoal-mine opened be-
tween this place and Selma and Ely
ton, viii be 50 much added to the
wealth of Memphis, if we secure d.
rect railroad communication with
that district of the South. Since
Memphis is on the most direct line
between New Orleans, Mobile and
Pensacola and the great Northwest
ern cities, Memphis merchants, it'll
the facilities they have for getting
goods without breaking bulk from
New York and other Eastern
cities, can compete with any
other wholesale merchants. Much
depends upon the conduct of cur
Legislature, which should pursue
a wise and liberal policy toward mer-
camille communities in the future, as
it has not done in the past. Begin
ming with but little capital twenty
years ago, Memphis has attained its
present size by the enterprise and
public spirit of its people, now having
ten times as great wealth and popu-
lation as in 1850, II We have
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-06-24

done so well without capital, what
can we notdo when our advantages
attract capital to this city2 Memphis
is the natural trade center for all the
country within one hundred and fifty
miles. There is no country having
a greater diversity of products, and
when this country's wealth is fully
developed and highly improved,
Memphis must rival any city on this
great river. With equal railroad
facilities, she need fear no rival.
The only danger is that we
may permit most important
lines of railroad to pass around
us aud draw away the trade which of
right belongs to this city, and leaving
it to a wretched, unprosperous place,
burdened with taxation and debt.
Unless we take steps to augment our
population and business, our present
Indebtedness will weigh us down.
The same courage, enterprise and CO.
operative effort that made Memphis
what she is, must carry her forward
until she attains that position to
which she is entitled by natural adj
~vantages. A heavy responsibility
now rests upon this city and county
and upon those men in office upon
whose action depends the good or i'll
fortune of this people. They who
eonspire to defeat the construction Of
a railway line that extends from Kan
sas city through Memphis, to Selma,
the Gulf and to the oeean-they vino
prevent the construction Of such a
highway, infiict upon this city and
county a most fearful calamity, and
incur a guilt for which posterity will
hold them responsible, if not infa-
nous, through all coming time.

THE two great parties in this coun-
try T the robbers and the robbed,
tax-makers and taxpayers, and the
god Of America is gold. II a man
pass the streets, the multitude meas
ures his worth by his wealth, and the
latter by his apparel. The hor sc,
first, and then the rider is scrutin lied
the clothes, and then the wearer's
face. Moneybags, a vulgar, coarse,
selfish curmudgeOn, who has gathered
gold for fifty years, and learned a thou
sand little swindler's arts, practicable,
and yet intangible by law, is more
esteemed, and wields greater power,
in the community than the
most intelligent, unselfsh gentleman.
The mob, imbued with the spirit of
the age, watched intently the hole
that was made by a machine at the
fair, but never once examined the
cunning mechanism that did the work
so rapidly and well. Results, alone,
are considered; the means are never
inquired into. Have the knaves
wealth who plundered this State, city
and county? II Is enough. Gold in
vests them with all proper elements
of worth, and a corrupted popuIace
bows in absurd reverence before the
distorted imitation OF him who was
made, it is said, after Gods own
image, and became a victim of that
insane love of gold which corrupts
the age, curses social life, pollutes the
church, excludes worth and honesty
from Office, degrades every incident
of citizenship and achieves as much
in rendering the government Odious
as the ballot-box deiled by recent
d~ebaucheries Of constitutional law &C.
complished by Congressional Radi-
calism.

LIVE ISSUESD

The Independents and the Radicals
who wish to lull the people while
they are connecting their schemes
for the destruction of the Demo
cratic party, which is rapidly
ascending to power, still pirate about
sold fogies,' sold ruts,' "wOrn out
groves" and the necessity of dealing
with "Iive issues" Why, the strength,
the life and vitality of the Demo
cratic party consists in its live, pro-
gressive spirit. 1t was a live
party when it acquired Louisiana,
Florida, Texas and the immense terri
tory out of which new States have
been added o the Union. Live issues
can be found in the cardinal princi-
pies of the party as laid down by
Jefferson, and accepted and acted
upon by Jackson, and Polk and Dali
las, and Pierce, and Buchanan-and
all the men who have been looked up
to and regarded as the defenders and
expOunders Of pure Democratic doc
trfne. The truths they held are as
fresh and needful to-day as when first
promulgated, and Democrats will not
wander into strange fields for the pur-
pose OF finding live issues. The pro-
lection of the Constitution is a live
issue; the supremacy Of the white
rae is a live issue; opposition to CEN
t~ralization is a live issue, and all these
are taught by the founders Of the
Democratic party. Modern live issues
are such as have been forced upon the
country by the Radical party, and
with these the Democratic OrganiZa-
tion can have no affinity. This is no
time for dallying with false gods.
The Democracy must strike down all
teachers who depart from the pure
faith Of the fathers Of the party. There
is safety in that path and none other.
Everything that is essential to the
preservation of the Constitution and
the fundamental principles upon
which the Republic was founded, may
be called olive issues" We heard this
same twaddle about ''party hacks"
"old ruts," and exploded issues, when
acknowledgment asserted that it
"had risen upon the ruins Of the two
old parties" The Democratic party
is alive and all aglOw. 1t car never
die, for it is the life of the Republic
living, breathing and ardent with the
desire to restore the Union; to keep
the Federal Government and each Of
its departments within its proper
sphere, and cause it to respect the re-
served rights of the States, and of the
people; to abolish all bank, tariff and
other monOpOlies; to abolish standing
armies in time of peace; to arrest the
extravaganza ana corruption that are
wasting our substance, and careful
economy in administration Of affairs;
to restore credit to the Government
and value to its currency; to hold all
men innocent until proved guilty; to
punish crime according to law; to pro-
tect the foreign citizen in his rights,
both at home and abroad; to do equal
and exact justice to all men, irrespec-
tive Of color or race; and TO keep this,
as fathers made it, a white mans
government, an asylum for the OPP
pressed Of all nations, and a dispenser
Of blessings to all who submit to its
laws; and all who desire that all kinds
Of property may bear its equalportion
of taxation.
