DEATH OF MAJOR Pao,k.-we are called

DEATH OF MAJOR PKoK. We are called
upon this morning to announce the death
Of young Columbian, who, on account
OF his genial, pleasant manners, was o
universal favorite. Maj. w. D. Peck
departed this life yesterday, after pain
ful, lingering illness-the effect of dis
ease contracted while in the Confederate
service. His age was about thirty-six.
He leaves mother, wife, children, sister
and host OF sincere friends to mourn
his early demise.

ourselves. AS for ourselves, our sympa-
thies are with the Democratic party as
respects its views of government, its ad-
yocacy of free trade, its encouragement
OF immigration, its warm sympathies in
behalf of the whites of the South and
it's general spirit. And we desire to see
this organization prevail, because, at
present, it is the only effective national
organization that stands arrayed against
1.-The enemies of the Constitution" and
the oppressors of the Southern whites
the radical party. But, we hold, that in
order to prevail, it must lberalize it's at
titude towards the colored man. The
thirteenth amendment freed the negro
The great body of the Southern whites
would not re-enslave the negro, if they
could. The fourteenth amendment de-
clared negroes citizens. We hold that
this was the logical result of emancipa-
ton. We know of no other place that
the freedmen could occupy in our system.
The fifteenth amendment made the ne.
groes voters. This, too, we believe, is
accepted generally at the South. We
certainly accept it, and now that univer-
sol suffrage has been declared, we are
disposed to give it fair trial.
Thus, although the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments were
carried, by the employment of means
unknown to the Constitution, yet since
they have become accomplished facts, nay,
operating things, then let those issues be
dropped. And, in our Judgment, it
will be wise for the National Democracy

Faith and friendship are seldom truly
tried but in extremes. To find friends
when We have no need of them, and to
want them when we have, are both alike
easy and common. In prosperity who
will not profess to love man; in adver-
sity how few will show that they do it?
When we are happy in the spring-tide of
abundance, and the rising flood Of plenty,
then the world will be our servants; then
all@ii Aoek about lls with bowed heads,
with bended bodies, aud protesting
tongues But when these pleasing wa
ters begin to ebb, when our wealth
begins to leave us, when the waves Of
sdversity begin to gather around us, then
men look upon us from a distance, and
those who before bent the supple hinges
OF the knee before us. that thrift might
follow fawning, look coldly upon us.
This is the way of the world. Our for
tunes and ourselves are 80 closely linked,
that we know not what is the cause of
the love we find. When these two part
company, it will soon be apparent to
which affection will cling.

distract thought. They shake the nerves.
They acidulate the temper. They are q
