/" White s1an's 'Party.o

A correspondent of the Wilmington
lDel) Commercial says committee of
the troubled faithful recently called on
Senator Salisbury, in Washington, to
obtain their orders, and the old gentle
man sufficiently comprehended the sit
uation to pooh pooh their idea of divid>
ing the negro vote. By the mutterings
Of the Democracy here one would think
that the old mans advice was being fol
lowed in Oregon. This is the way he
is reported to have treasured them:
1--WE can't get the niger vote. The
time between this and the election is
too short to pull the wool over their
eyes. They have got just MS much
sense about voting as you and [ have.
and it's no use talking. I've lived
among them all my life-was raised
with them-and used to own 'em, and
I tell you they have got too much sense
to vote with us next Fall. They won't
do it. - I'll tell you what to do
-go home and holler, White Mans
Party That's our holt. There's en-
ough id thick headed, ignorant white
men who vote the Republican ticket
that we can get to vote ours, and we
can beat 'em yet. Go home boys and
set up howl, White Mans Party

will have plenty Of time to cultivate
the nigger vote, and get as much of il
as we may want"

The National Monument to Abraham
Lincoln.

EFrom the Riforma of Florence, Italy, Feb. o. !
To honor merit is the crow ming beau
ty of greatness. Hardly had the Amer
lean people recovered from the horror
of that assassination which struck down
Abraham Lincoln than they applied
themselves to the task of raising sum
sufficient to erect. at Springfield, Him
ois, a bronze monument which should
be worthy of the man. whose name is
written side BY side with that of Wash.
ington. The commission being thrown
open to competition, 32 designs were
presented, and the honor of preference
was bestowed upon that of Mr. Larkin
6. Mead, an American sculptor, whom
the Italian School, the School Of Mich
ael Angelo aud of Canova, reckons
among its pupils. We visited, a short
time since, the studio of Mr.. Mead, and
was struck by the manly and COM
manding figure ofthe President, through
wh,se noble and majestic countenance
shines the great mind which conceived
and ultimated the liberty of slaves
The statue, coossa. in size, and stand
lug erect upon the monument, holds in
the left hand a scroll, upon which is
written "EmaHcipation," and in the
right the pen with which Abraham
Lincoln erased frQm the page of human
history the disgrace of slavery. As a
symbol Of the Union to which he dedi
Gated his life, there stands at the side
Of the statue the consular fasces, around
which is thrown the glorious banner OF
the Republic. At the foot of the fasces
rests a crown Of laurel At the angles
of the monument are placed four groups
representing cavalry, infantry, artillery
and the marine. The talent with which
Mr. Mead has designsd the monument
and the boldness with which he ha.
| modelled this colossal statue, reveal il
him beyond doubt profound know
ledge Of his art. We feelsure that al
will admire the work of Mr.. Mead, and
will render homage to the memory oi
Abraham Lincoln, who is no more 0
citizcn OF America, but citizen of the
whole world--a glory to humanity.

THE OLD TUR NPIKE.

We hear no more the changing hoof,
And the stage coach rattling by,
For the steam king rules the travel world,
And the old pixies left to die.
The grass creeps DER the finty path,
And the stealrhy daisies steal,
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stager breads
The toll of the coming morn;
No more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn:
For the dust lies still upon the road.
And the bright-cyed children play,
Where once the Gathering hoof aud wheel
Ratified along the way. -
NoSmore we hear the crankling whip,
And the strong wheels rumhling sound;
But ah the water drives Us on,
And an iron horse is found
The coach stands rushing in the yard,
The horse has sought the plow;
We have spanned the world with an iron rail,
And the steam king rules as now.
The old turnpike is a pike no more,
Wide open stands the gate,
We have made road for our horses to stride,
And we ride at flying gait;
We have filed the valleys and leyeled the bills,
And tnnneled the mountains side,
And around the rough crag's dizzy verge
Fearless now ride.
0n--on--on-with naughty front,
puff. shriok and bound
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To echo back the sound
And the old pike road is left alone,
And the stagers seek the ptow
We have cireled the world with an iron rail.
And the steam king rules us now.

As an answer to the charges of "ma-
lignity and despotism' displayed by the
radicals in their treatment of the South,
let us hear what Governor Alcorn, of
Mississippi, who ought to be good au-
thority on the subject, has to say. In
his inaugural address he said:
When, borne to the earth, I lay
pEostrate with my kindred Of the South.
no heel pressed upon r,y breast,
no sword-point pricked my throat, no
hand frightened the rope that my own
treason had knotted around my neck

earth, and lifted his visor to tell us that
he gave us our lives, cur lands, our
liberties. | for one gave back my soul
TO the sublime henefccnce that | beheld

ism Of Henry Clay; and, knowing no
north. no south, no cast, no west, re-
solved henceforth to expiate its past
error by life of devoted love for the
Union. And well do | know that the
generous old Uniapists of the South

The Richmond Dispatch says it
agrees with the late Mr.. Stanton in the
opinion that the rebels aided the North
by always acting on the defensive, and
going further, says: after the battle
of Manassas, the whole North was open
to US, Pennsylvania, New York, even
Massachusetts. Nothing stopped us
but ignorance of the art of war. There
were no armies to do it. Perhaps twas
best our rulers knew not their business.
