In which a nation laid its martvred braves,

In which nation laid its martyred braves,
Utter voice loud as the thunder's swell
The patriot dead, who loved their country
well"
'1Tis sweet and fair" the Roman poet sung,
10 die for native land" The words have rung
In every age in every form of speech
And still the truth with power and beauty
teach.
Who does not feel it in this presence now2
In tear-dimmed eye, on sad and pensve brow,
l read the deathless eulogy and praise
vi these who fell IN battle ST cry maze.
Or turning dying eyes on somber wall
OF hospital obeyed the Masters call
Resigning all that mOrtals have to give,
That free nation might not cease to live.
The Persian poets taught each tiny flower,
That filings its perfume on the summer hour,
Draws its young life, when first its rootets start
From pure drop that warmed heros heart.
The Eastern myth embalmS for every cline
Beauty and meaning to the end Of time.
Peerless, in all the wide variety of things,
Flowers rank confessed The jOurneying sea-
son brings
Nothing so perfect exquisite, complete
Sense of the beautiful on earth to meet
SO among men the hero foremost stands;
His courage honor from mankind commands;
And seeking emblcms, while he lives, for praise,
They Irvine the fOwer-wrGath and bcstrew his
ways
With flowers, and when he falls asleep,
Flowers on his grave their soothing tendance
keep.
Let old and young approach with solemn tread
The silent city of the gathered dead,
And beauty join, with steps of maiden grace,
TO strew with flowers the soldiers resting place.
Then, as their fragrance fills the cncircling air,
Memory and hope shall equal interest share,
And crowding come and pass in swift review
The vivid scenes these sleeping brave ones
knew.
Scenes that were shared by comrades, who to-
day
Survive to join these votive gifts to pay,
Bound to the sleepers by the closest tic
Sharers in all things but to grandly die,
Kin in the lineage which unites the brave
In bonds answered by the silent grave

The stars still pouring on the raptured sight
Their blended beams of consolidated light.
AT the conclusion of the poem, the song

SENATE.

He denounced the statement as false in
every respect.
The Senate is considering the relations
between labor and capital with prospect
that the whole subject will be dropped.
Scott, from the Select Committee on
Southern Outrages, reported bills amend
atory of the Enforcement act and the Sup
Elementary Civil rights bills, which were
read the first time. Bayard objected to the
second reading of the bills. He ques-
toned the propriety of the reference of
these bills to this committee, which had
been originated for special purpose and
certainly not to take cOgnizance OF such
matters as were involved in these two
bills.
The Senate finished the internal revenue
bill. The tax on whisky remains at
seventy cents per gallon, but the tax on
tobacco is a uniform tax of twenty-fOur
cents per pound, being an increase of four
cents over the House rate. Export bonded
for tobacco were abolished, but
all tobacco now in bond is allowed to re-
main for twelve months, though no new
entries are allowable.
No department business was transacted.
Heavy rains interferred with the deco
ration here and nOrthWard.
No Outrages are reported, and but little
general interest was manifested.

Our laundering, miserable modes {

Oar laundering, miserable modes of
obtaining jurors in criminal trials is aptly
illustrated in the empauelling of jury to
try Stokes in New FORK for the murder of
Fisk. Ten men of the necessary twelve
have been sworn in, and in getting them
somewhere near a thousand have been call
ed. The World appropriately says: "Al
these hundreds have been deprived of their
labor for day or two days each, and
before the trial of Stokes can be said fairly
to have begun it will have cost the public
many thousands of dollars. OF course if
men fit to be jurors are to the multitude
of decent householders from whom they
are chosen as three grains of wheat in
three bushels of chaff, and cannot be got
at except by this tedious and costly sitting,
there is nothing to be said. But if the
twelve finally selected shall prove to be no
better, but rather worse, no more but
rather less impartial, no more but rather
less intelligent; if they prove to constitute
precisely the sort of jury whom man
with good case would object to have sit
in judgment on his case, and a man with
no case would delight to have sit in iudg-
ment on his case, what shall be said of the
process of natural selection by which they
were eliminated from the populations Of
course we know nothing about the men
who have been selected in this case. But
the general result in famous criminal cases
gives us the right to expect, or at least to
fear, they will constitute precisely such
jury as we have described

Cooley stands prominent. Perhaps the
most striking feature about the present
number is the Etching, Mis-. Lolipop's

sketches have been admirable, presenting
picture story unequalled in its way by
anything that has appeared in the cure mt
literary journals Of the year. Two more
chapters remain to complete this unri vailed
story of fashionable life. If Cooley had
furnished his readers with nothing more
during the year, they would have been
well repaid, but this is merely an addition
to the monthly instalments of choice fam
lily reading, fashion plates-colored and
plain-steel plates, numerous wood cuts,

something to make the household cheerful

THE FARMERS MUTUAL FIRE INsUR-
ANCE Co. of York, Pa, has been in
successful operation nearly 10 years; has
paid twelve hundred and ten claims amount
ing to $712, 697.56, without single assess
ment. Prompt and ready, it has always
been able to meet its engagements; never
permitting debts to accumulate. Prudent
and careful, it has established business
far superior in quality to that of any Mutual
Company, doing general business in Penn
sylvania, hence the small percentage of
losses and freedom from assessments
lnsures against loss or damage by fire and
on all safe class property at
reasonable rates. Losses literally adjusted
and promptly paid.

On the 9TH of January, 1871, when
making some remarks on taking his seat
as chairman of a Republican Committee;
Mr. Greeley said:
"As to the Administration of Gen.
Grant, | recognize no one as a Republican
who is not grateful for its ,iudicous, ener-
getic, and successful efforts to procure the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment,
that key stone of our political arch, where
by the fruits of our great triumph over
rebellion and slavery are assured and per-
petuated. While asserting the right of
every Republican to his untrampled choice
of a candidate for next President until a
nomination is made, ] venture to suggest
that Gen. Grant will be far better qualified
for that momentous trust in 1872 than he
was in 1861"
Here Mr.. Greeley, now so strenuous for
the one term principle, nominated General
Grant for second term. The views he
expresses concerning the President and
the Administration are just and true, and
are and will be endorsed by the great body
of the people. The blind and vindictive
denunciation in which Greeley has since
INDUCED, can never obliterate the record he
has himself written of General Grants
eminent ability and perfect integrity.

.Jeems's - Interview with GreeIev.

"Jeems" is noted politician of the
Fifth District, and known all over the
county for his stand-up Republican prin-
ciples. He was one of the pioneer Repub-
licans of Maryland, when the "Path- Find
er" was the not very strong national en-
bodiment of the young party, and four
years later when the "rail splitter" gaunt
form doomed up so formidably on the polit-
ical horizon. Jeems" faithful services
have been acknowledged by permission to do
plenty of hard work in one of Uncle Sans
postal cars, running between Washington
and New York. On recent visit to the
latter city, our man of letters and newspa-
pers called upon the Chappaqua woodchop-
per, as the Herald terms the new found
panacea to Democratic ills. "Jeems"
introduced himself to the Philosopher, and
told him he had taken the Tribune for
thirty years and that the Tribune almanac
and the Tribune newspaper had been his
bible and hand book; but he found their
Editor getting into such bad company
lately that he was compelled to give him
up, or learn to disbelieve a life time teach,
ings from the Tribune. The philosopher
said that he would never 60 back on man
who had read the Tribune for thirty years
but that his friend didn't understand the
situation. 1t was true that he had fought
the Democrat party for forty years, and did
his best to break it up, and that now he
felt more sanguine of success than ever.
When he had succeeded, after battle of
forty years in driving that party against
which he had sworn eternal hate, into ac-
cepting him as its candidate for President,
he felt sure he was in a fair way of burst
ing it up at last. Mr.. Greeley inquired
about the political situation in this part of
the State, and when informed that all the
old Democrat Office hunters and thieves,
secession and copperhead party, were pre-
pairing to vote in body for him, while
they cursed him and his memory into
the depths of the bottomless pit, the mild
gray eyes of the philosopher twinkled
with delight, and his benevolent coun-
tenance, "child like and bland" lighted
up with smile of satisfaction. The ex-
managing Editor of the Tribune shook
Z" Jeems'" hand cordially as they parted
at the door after the interview, with the
assurance that he would never ego back
on man who had read his paper for thirty
years; and as the philosopher waved
"Jeems "adieu, his last words were, .'I've
been fighting the Democrat party for forty
years, and Pm bound to burst it up this
time"

We propose to expose the Democracy in their role

white hat and coat of Horace Greeley. We fighting
the old party of treason srategem and spo and
beat them by exposing their "lttle game" TO
cheat unsuspecng Republicans by adopting the farmer
of Chappaqua as blind

Republican party in Cecil, cannot aid the

Clubs for The Wing every Post Office in the county

ONE MORE QUESTION TO ADD TO The
DEMOCRATS LIsT.--Can anybody tell
whether The Democrat is ~ the Greeley
fence Or undsy it?
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1872-06-29

1t will, Of course, be eminently proper
that the assembled Democrats at Balti-
more should have an adequate idea of the
difficulties they are to encounter in the
present campaign, so that when they re-
turn home they will go to work with a
will; therefore placard might appropri-
ately be suspended over the desk of the
presiding officer of the Convention, bear
ing this declaration from the Tribune Of
December 5, 1871
g So many millions paid off each month
are to General Grants administration
what Union victories on hard fought fields
were to Mr.. Lincoln's. The fact stated by
the President, that the annual burden of
the debt is now seventeen millions less than
it was when he was inaugurated, is per-
feet Vicksburg to his supporters.
These are only few Of the many choice
morsels which can be afforded for Demo-
cratic reflection. BY way of giving them
a good heart for the fight before them the
Democrats who threw up their hats for
Greeley may safely be dismissed with the
following encouraging statement made by
Greeley himself at the last Presidential
election
"We are led by him who first taught
our armies to conquer in the West. and
subsequently in the East also. Richmond
would not come to us until we sent Grant
after it, and then it had to come He has
never yet been defeated and never will be-
He will be as great and successful on the
field of politics as on that of arms
