Sigh not, fair mother as thou seest
Thelittlc nursery at Thy feet;
Three golden heads together bent
Like statesmen DER some scheme profound and
Convened IN their more gracious parliament.
Sigh not, IL O or thy faithful heart
tF Keen shadows of the future 20;
The fortunes dormant in the frame
The woes of want and wrong; the stener woe
OF souls that start, and own a hidden shame.
Fenced from the frosty gales of i'll
Man Slips through life untnade, unbraced--
As honey from the tlint-rock shed;
Wrong bravely borne, the brunt of pain well taced
Rain in soft blessings on the gallant head.
Endure Endure Lies lesson so
'H'' Is written large in sea and earth;
And He who gives us wider scope
Than the dumb things that struggle from their
birth,
Sets in our sky star of higher hope.
And with more Joy than one who treads
The road with never-swerving strength,
His future-piercing eye survey
Those who, wide rowing, to the fold at length
Trace with aforementioned feet their final way
Then sigh not, if the smiling band
Their unforethoughtful brightness keep,
And garner sunbeams for the day
When those dear stainless eyes may yearn TO weep
The natural drops that cannot force their way.
He who has made us, and forcsees
Our fears, to thy too anxious gaze
The long Hereafter gently spares
only His love shines forth through all their days,
Pledged to the children of so many prayers.

The Richmond Enquirer is very much
exercised over the debts of the Southern
States, which it charges have been created
by the Republican party. 1t gives aS
statements Of the public debts OF these
various States, which we are sure are more
or less erroneous but it is careful not to
give the debt of Virginia. 1t refers to the
taxes imposed for the debt, but says no.
thing about the debt itself. This omission
was natural, and was very convenient for
the Enquirer for it is well known that the
debt of Virginia before the rebellion, con-
tracted under Democratic rule, was forty
millions of dollars. This was the legacy
which secession Democracy left to Virginia.
The Enquire1 does not express its gratitude
for this legacy. II docs not even mention
it in the article before US.
The Enquirer is mistaken in its summing
I'D of the debt of North Carolina, and we
think it probable it has oyerstated the debts
of all the Southern States. 1t says: "Ihe
Republican party Of North Carolina have
ran up the public debt from $l4,575,375 to
s35, 100000"
In the first place. the State debt Of North
Carolina is not more than $4,000, 900;
and, in the second place, it was as much
contracted by the Democrats as by the Re-
publicans, for men of all parties were for
The improvements for which the debt was
contracted, and as many Democrats, III
proportion to numbers, as Republicans in
The Legislature voted for the appropriations.
Pending the passage Of the bills making
these appropriations party was never men
toned. Indeed, the two parties seemed to
vie with each other as to which should 80
furthest and do most thus to build up the
State. 1t is, therefore, as much Demo
cratic as q Republican debt.
The present debt of North Carolina is
about $50 100000. heamount to be pro-
perly charged to the first Legislature which
assembled under the reconstruction acts is
slI, 407 900, special tax bonds, which were
urged and voted for in that body as well by
Democrats as Republicans.
The Enquirer dilates on these large debts
Of the Southern States with the view Of
producing the impression that the Republi-
can party has involved the Southern States
in bankruptcy. Such an impression would
he equally erroneous and unjust. The
debts of the Southern States, heavy as they
arc, and improvdently contracted as some
OF them have been, are not more enormous
on any OF those States than was the debt
OF Pennsylvania twenty-five years ago.
