CORRESPONDENCE
The InundatiOn.

Mr.. EDITOR Previous to the nomina-
ton of Greeley I contributed my feeble aid
in opposition to the consummation of that
result. but the great wave of destiny rolled
on with irresistible velocity, accommodating
power in its progress. until it eliminated in
a deluge before which | with many others
was compelled to succumb-in short caved
in-not because considered my position un.
tenable or erroneous, but simply because l
desired to keep in company with the mass of
the Democratic party, (who had already
mounted the crest of the waveD and be swept
onward in the surging foam Of
THE INUNDATIoN.
Resistless as the cataract upon the mountain
side,
The people now are moving on, in streams of
living tide;
Moving onward, upward too, tits spreading
DER the land;
Absorbing in its progress ever factious band ];
IT'S swelling as the rivers tide, when fed by
mountain rills,
lis moving as the avalanche moves down the
Alpine hills.
This living tide is sweeping on, throughout
this wide domain,
From the sunny plains of Texas, to the snow
clad hills of Maine;
It's sweeping from the surfbeat rocks, where
the wild Atlantic roars,
Across the mountains and the plains, to old
Pacitic's shores
Over the hills and valleys, too, this tide resist
less flows,
Gathering strength throughout the land, and
crushing out its foes.
This moving onward through the States,
whose eastern hills are washed
When old Atlantics briny foam by the rising
winds are dashed;
IT'S moving through the valley, where the
Mississippi flows;
IT'S swelling like the mountain stream, when
fed by melting SHOWS
This living tide is moving swift as arrow speed
from bow;
IT'S moving through the Middle States and
down the Ohio;
Through the cities of the land those busy
marts of trade,
This tide is also swelling there as notes in
bank unpaid.
IT'S moving through the villages, where the
tillcrs of the soil,
Those sturdy yeoman, peaceful live, free from
all turmoil.
1t is bearing on its bosom the Democratic band
Who will guide it In its INSTRUMENTATION to
the land
IT'S madness in those dcmagogues, who try to
stem this tide,
For Grant must know and Wilson, too, they
cannot on it ride.
They must follow in the rear, or sink beneath
its waves,
AS many others gone before to their unhonor-
ed graves.

Kingdom of Heaven" Another precious Lamb
has been gathered to bosom of the Good Shop

sin-polluted earth. Darling little Frank thy
pilgrimage was indeed brief; thou hast gone to
join thy sainted mother, who recently so swcetly
''passcd over the river" and is now resting in
that blessed habitation, where parting and death
are not; and methinks l can almost catch the
joyous exclamation of that mother as the angel
ic cortege bore thy little freed spirit to those
masons of eternal repose, "Baby in Heaven"
Happy little spirit, rest thee in thy far-away
home; thou with thy mother, both with God,
and unto those, to whom thou art nearest and
dearest thou art one more link in the golden
chain oflove which their Heavenly Fathers hands
themselves have fashioned, to draw their hearts
nearer to thee and to Him. &.

Political.

The nomination of Greeley and Brown
by the Democrats appears to have "taken"
well all over the country, and especially in
the South
Solomon L. Hoge, South Carolina car.
pet-bag judge, is telling the negroes that
Horace Greeley, if elected will sell them
back into slavery"
The Oxford (Ala) Chronicle Greeley
says the hush in the Radical party at this
time is ominous-it dreams of no defeat in
November" The fact is the Radical party
seems to have wrapped its martial cloak
about it and laid itself down to pleasant
dreams
-Gerrit Smith declares that "thc Demo
cratic party is dead Three million voters
ought to make npre ty lively corpse. Again,
| if the Democratic party is dead, what is the
use of the Republican papers continually de-
claring that the present issue is between the
Republican and the Old Democratic party :?
The Presidential campaign promises to
be fought more stubbornly Mt the South, on
the part of the Administration than else
where perhaps. The Ku Klux machinery
it is stated, is being made ready in the shape
| Of warrants for the arrest of unoffendng cit
liens in North and South Carolina, for no
other purpose than to ntimidate them from
entering actively upon political work against
the party in power.
Senator Thurman, of Ohio, says that
though he would prefer the Democrats had
resolved on II straight Democratic ticket, he
will work earnestly for the election of Gree
! ley and Brown, as it is the will of the party,
! and he believes that the welfare of the coun-
| try requires the defeat of the present admin
istration. The nomination of Greeley and
Brown at Baltimore, he says, was the work
of the people, the politicians having nothing
or little to do with it.
| The Democratic party does not abandon
its principles, but believing, as it does that
the course of the Radical leaders threatens to
destroy all constitutional and Democratic
ideas, it is bound by its principles to seek to
overthrow those leaders, and if it cannot do
it by the mode it would prefer, it is but COM
mon sense to take the next best

NEW BRIDGE.-Thc King Iron Bridge
Company Of Cleaveland, Ohio, through their
agents, Mcssrs Dean and Westbrook, of Har
risburg, Pa, have just completed the erection
of one of their wrought iron tubular bridges
tor the Bel Air Turnpike Company, over
Winters Run, at Howard & Archer's Mill.
The structure is sixty feet in length and war
ranted to sustain weight of two thousand
pounds per lincal foot. 1t has Il light and
airy appearance, compared with the old
wooden structure that was removed, but
we are assured is much stronger and is I'M
doubtedly more durable. Iron bridges are
coming into use almost altogether Mt cross
ings, both for railroads and county roads, in
other sections of The country, and we have
little doubt will eventually entirely replace
the wooden bridge. The structure above
mentioned cost when completed and put to-
| gether twelve hundred dollars.
