FOR THE OREGON REPUBLICANS
The Prisoners OF the Bastile,

Twas night; the reeking battles Ger;
In silence hushed the cannons roar.
The ghastly dead lay on the Held,
And same not dead yet, tried to yield
TO Deaths cold ciasp-To some,
Like brooding angels softly come
But we were wounded in the hght
Cast into dungeons--dark as niShI
Tired nature now gave way
For we had battled we'll that day.
We sank to sleep, mid itt AMI sllmej
How long We slept, or at what nre
The morning broke, could not tell,
Twas dark as doubly darkest hell.
At length, l to my father spake,
I shook him thrice, he did not wakei
I turned him on his Shiny bed,
Felt DER his heart--my God he's dead
A glimmer faint now broke the gloom,
And threw bur, across the room,
OF golden light. dim did ! trace
The features cold of fathers face;
Calm and peaceful, with smile
Der spreading. 1t would beguils
Me almost into the belief
He were not dead, That grief
Had tnrned my BRAIN; raised his head,
. Bnt long ere this his spirit fled.

Here was leftiby all my kind,
Slowly TO die amid the GLOOM

Astonished, at intruders that
Could find way to this dark spot

But in this darkness, filth and gloom,

The cry was hushed little girl

Andrew johnson Defines His Pa.
SitiOn.

EX-President Johnson is reported in the
Nashville Republican Baane,. to have ex-
pressed himself as follows on the issues of
the day:
Inc cincinnati movement had a most
crcditable and patriotic reception; but the
result has not been such as myself would
have desired. Certainly did not foresec it
when l gave the movement all the encourage
ment could consistently yield. am posi-
tive in the opinion that the nomination of
some other man than Greeley would have
collected the Democrats around the platform
which was there adopted with such rush of
overwhelming enthusiasm, that, with the
disafiected Republicans, we would have
carried the election beyond the possibility of
doubt. MIR. Greeley has much latent
strength, which lies in the fact that his repu-
tation for honesty of purpose has never been
impcachcd. He must now be careful to re-
strain his friends or his organs, if he has any,
thing OF the latter kind from too enthusi-
astic atllllatiOn of his new adherents, We
have lhen in the Democracy who have great
influence over the masses, and who still re-
member and repeat to the public the numer-
Gus vigorous assaults of Mr.. Greeley on the
principles as well as the personnel of that
party. Now, if Mr.. Greeley or his friends
change to the right about, and are equally
NSoiouS III support Ol his Ola opponents,
people will make comparisons which are
damaging to his reputation for consistent hon.
esty. Remember that he supported bayonet
legislation for the South against me but
the Tribune opposes il now against the ma
.iority of Congress. The tide of Radicalism
in this countryis on the ebb. 1t has reached
its utmost height, and the reyulsion has
come. | see this fact in the failure to COM
pletc the Radical intention regarding the Ku-
klux and amendatory enforcement bills in the
House. The current setting in the other
way is very feeble just now, and yet suAici-
Gently strong to be perceptible. 1t is carry
ing with it many Northern Republican poll
ticians, who have wit enough to see the
change in public sentiment, or who have
commenced to think themselves instead of
blindly following the dictates of Congress
committee. 1t has been impossible up to this
time since the war for the Democrats to sue
coed, but golden opportunity is now before
them. They must act with united decision,
however, or they will fail again. Mr.. Gree
ley will doubtless be endorsed at the Bati-
more Convention. This may be bitter pill
for some to swallow; but we must not show
our grimacc to the public. l intend to take
the stump myself, in my own State, and per-
haps others, against General Grant. l shall
oppose him on the grounds of public policy,
no matter who may receive the benefit of
that opposition. 1t may be Mr.. Greeley: it
will certainly be intended for the benefit of
the nominee at Baltimore.

In an article on "Crime in New York, !"
the Times of that city says:

O'Clock on Thursday morning, hearing some

which struck so disagreeably on the ear of
Little Red Riaing Hood when the wolf as
sumed the role o. her atiectionate grand
mother, descended, and if not absolutely
eaten up, found herselfin clutches rs deadly
as those of lupine foe. Mr.. James Wilson,
notorious burglar, sneak thief and desperate,
&C., was there deeply engaged with one Of
his young men in putting up v, tn all possible
dispatch such portable articles OF the WatsOns
as we're best worth taking. Miss Watson
held on to this scoundrel wish amazing en-
ercy. Even his threat to shoot her did not
cause this brave lady to quail, and at length
assistance came. He proved to have a goodly
record-"is supposed to be the man who shot
Officer O'Neill, and was arrested on suspi-
cion of being the burglar who shot Mr..
Phelps"-and dozen more prohably-"but
was discharged as no evidence could be made
ont against him." OF course! Ut is consol-
ing to think that little can be made out now.
But then we don't find Miss Watsons at
every house.

ner and Greeley are now sailing leads directly
TO the port from which our oppressors hail !
| On that shore stand those who practiced and
upheld slavery with all its incidental crueltes
and degradations those who rebelled against
the government, and unrepentant still, are
looking forward to the future realizations of
theIr Lost Cause. Standing among that
motley thrOng may be seen all those who op-
posed the war for the preservation of the
Union with both bullet and ballot, who pro-
nounced it unholy and failure, and did
Their utmost to prevent its aid by another
man or another dollar! There YOU will find
all those who since the war have only sui
lcnly submitted to the arbitration of the
sword and have used the political rights
which justly forfeited were granted to them
to oppose every measure having for its object
The acknowledgements and elevation of black
men to the full status of American citlzen-
ship. The ku-KluX klan, those masked and
Shostly midnight riders of the South who
burned the schools and dwellings of colored
men, and then shot, hanged, burned drowned,
and scourged them for daring to vote the Re-
publican ticket! And their prototypes at
the North who hanged black men to lamp
posts and burned orphan asylums these, all

Charles Summers present course whether
he intended it or not, is playing into the
hands of the Democratic party, and they are
already circulating his speech as a campaign

manufacture, admirably fitted to their use in
demoishng the ramparts erected by the Re-
publican party protecting freedom, equal
rights, and guaranteeing the honest payment
of the public debt
Republicans Of America: Our ONLY hope
Tor the future peace and prosperity, the faith
lnl carrying out both in the letter and spirit
OF the recent Constitutional amendments,
the avoidance of the reputation of the
national debt, the securing of civil as well as
political rights to all men without inyidious
distinctions all these hopes are centered in
the Republican party, under the leadership
OF its chosen standard-bcarers Ulysses S.
Grant and Henry Wilson. With Republican
supremacy the wheels of progress will roll
trlumphantly along, and in another four wears
We will see fully and completely established
those beneiicent changes in our national laws
which shall have for their object the fullest
recognition Of the rights of all men. Then
will our own loved America become not only
the land of the brave, but the home of the

GreeIey's Probable Strength at
Baltimore.

The New York World says: "The figures
published in the World on Saturday showing
the action of the Democratic State Conven-
tons held to date in reference to the question
of a Presidential candidate appear to have
given discomfort to those ardent organs
which affect to believe that all the world is
wild for Greeley. The record, however, was
entirely correct, for .the action Of each con-
vention was carefully noted at the time it was
held. So far 81 of the delegates chosen are
instructed or recommended to vote for Mr..
Greeley in the Baltimore Convention, IS are
instructed to oppose the nomination of any
candidate, are instructed to vote for DEM
ocrat for the candidacy, and 3iS are wholly
unnstructed. Ii it be said that some of the
latter are for Greeley we reply that that is a
matter of opinion il may be so, but we have
no official record of it. We have not only
stated the facts, as gathered from the resolu-
tons passed by each State Convention, an
examination of which by doubters will verify
our table of Saturday."

GEORGE A. JOHNSON.
HOWARD UNIVERSITY

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June %, 1872.
To the Editor fMe Ne,c National Ere:
The friends of Mr.. w. Il. c. Smith, who
looked so anxiously for him among the late
graduates of the Medical Department of
Howard University, will doubtless be glad
to learn that he is now in possession of his
diploma comforting on him the degree of
Doctor Of Medicine.
Mr.. Smith did not graduate with his class,
because his tutors thought it advisable that
he should prepare himself with greater care
to meet the work and ability with which he
would come in contact in his native place in
the Island of Bermuda, West Indies, than
was necessary for home students. lie has
spent, therefore, four months in careful
study, assisted by one of our most eminent
physicians, DIR. A. T. Augusta. Mr.. Smith
is now prepared for his work.
We shall greatly miss hing for his enter
tanning manners, his sincerity and devoted
ness as a friend and fellow -countryinan. He
he has won the esteem of all who can apprc-
ciatc manliness and dignity of behavior in
an intelligent and promising colored young
man but with those whose highest praise is
"a good darkey" because, like sycophant, he
bows at the feet of tyranny, and ticks the
hand that smtcs him or his racc-he is not
in esteem. But those are few and of no sig.
niiicance and cannot say "Shbboleth" in the
good of the negro. We bid Mr.. Smith God
speed.
Yours truly, d. AS

SSvindIing Royalty.

A sharp young American woman, a Mrs.
Fanny JOrdon, whose maiden name was
Chumley, has been playing pretty and
profitable game with the King of Bavaria.
His Majesty rarely appears in the capital,
but leads an isolated life at his villa of Ilohcn-
where his chief employment is
that Of music. The lively adventures went
to the place with the sweet and pretty name,
and took lodgings at the Golden Bear Hotel,
determined upon the conquest of the King
Walking out with her femme de chombye, when
she saw royalty approaching she fell to draw
ing the beautiful landscape with all her might.
The King, who is proud of the scenery, APP
preached the fair artist and opened an afla-
bic conversation. Then he invited the en-
gaging Fanny to visit his country seat and
gave her white mare, diamond bracelet,
his portrait framed in solid gold set with
emcralds, and other gifts of great value.
Then he lent her money in quite large sums !;
and then his uncle Leopold, hearing of the
matter, employed two Munich detectives to
hunt up the antccedents of the enchantress.
Learning his determination, she fled, leaving
behind her a large trunk containing 100 let
tiers from different lovers. For the last three
years the lady has been seeking, and occa-
siOnally finding, her fortune in different
European capitals. Her last affair, before
the Bavarian speculation, was in Berlin.
where she did so bedevil an unfortunate
Colonel that lac resorted to forgery to crafty
her incessant demand for money, and so was
ANONYMOUSLY cashiered. The Bavarian de-
tectivcs having found her in retired village,
allowed her to make choice between leaving
the country and going to prison. So she
continued her fight into Switzerland, with
slG, 900 in money and valuables, the net pro-
ceeds Of her Hohenschwangan speculation.

Col. HIGGINSON's visit to London is thus
pleasantly gossipped about by MOncure ID.
CONWAY in a letter to the Cincinnati CoRntey-
ciGt: During the one week he has been here,
he has been drawn and driven hither and
thithcr by young men and old, upper class
and lower class, lords and commons, to an
extent that must send him back to his friends
in meagre condition. Col. Higginson has
so much genius, such charming humor, such
fund of curious experiences, such youthful
freshness, that he delights everybody he
comes near. lie is now engaged in profound
conversations with the wise men of the Royal
institution, and again hobnobbing with the
radicals of the hall of science. Last Sunday
evening he put in an appearance at the Cen
tury club and the young men there for once
in their lives ceased to pair of for seperate
conversations, and all gathered around him.
while he gave them his impressions of Lon
don. Before he left the room he was down
for an infintude of breakfasts and dinners,
and had received an invitation, which hope
he will accept, to meet the Anglo-American
committee and give them an address ION any
subject whatever Prof Tyndall had taken
him to dine with the royal society, and he
has been welcomed in the palatial rooms of
the Athenaum club. On Sunday morning
last a large congregation assembled at South
Place chapel to hear him give an eloquent
discourse ON Buddha, and he held them i'll
rapt attention for an hour. The universal
verdict is that the Colonel is the most charm
ing American who has visited this old me-
tropolis for many day. No doubt the
Americans will learn in good time that the
famous commander of the black regiment
thinks of Mr.. Bull at home.

JAMES II. DOOLITTIE, is one of Grceley's
most cordial supporters. DOOlittlc could
hardly do less, and be halfway decent, for
wear after year the New York Tribune paid
him such compliments as, the following, from
that paper of March 3, 1869:
Able, adroit, and early schOOled in the
arts of the self-secking politician, he has for
years done his level best" against the party
which has so honored and trusted him. He
worked like beaver, with tongue and pen,
to defeat General Grant, and his labors were
crowned with the largest Republican vote
and the most sweeping Republican victory
majority there would have been 10000 had
he remained faithful it was swcllcd to "a, 1852
by the intensity of the popular detestation of
DOolittlc, his works and his ways.
