The EMBLEMS OF THE GREAT.

BY ROB. MORRIS, LID.
Who wears SQUARE upon his breast
Does in the face of God attest
And in the face of man
That all his actions will compare
With the divine, the unerring SQUARE,
That squares great Virtues plan:
Andh erects his edificc
BY this design, and this, and this.
Who wears the LEVEL says that pride
Does not within his soul abide,
Nor foolish vanity;
That man has but a common DOOM
And from the cradle to the tomb
\ common destiny,
And he erects his edi1ice
BY this design, and this, and this.
Who wears the G-that mark divine
Whose very sight should Danish sin,
Doth trust III God alone;
His Father, Friend, he knows;
lie VOWS and pays 10 God his VOWS
Before the eternal throne:
And he erects his editice
BY this design, and this, and this.
Who wears the PLUMB, behold how true
His words and walk and could we view
The chambers of his soul,
Each hidden thought, so pure and good,
BY the stern line of rectitude
Points up to Heavens goal;
And he erects his ediice
BY this design, and this, and this
Thus life and beauty come to view
In each design our fathers drew
SO glorious and sublime:
Each breathes an odor from the bloom
OF gardens bright beyond the tomb,
Beyond the flight of time,
And bids us build on this, and this,
The walls of Gods own edificc.

WE WE'RE RIGHT.

Two weeks ago we Happened incidentally
TO assert what we supposed everybody
knew, viz: That without the colored vote
the Republican party proper, never had
majority in the United States. Wealso said
that the co'ored people are fast finding out
that the Repubicaps are not and never were
their freinds, only so far as they could use
them to forward their own schemes. Our
San Juan contemporary says these things are
not true. The statistics of every national
election 8 snce the war will prove the first as
seriion, and proof Of the second, is SO vividly
before us to-day in the reports of the recent
elections that none but those who purposely
shut their eyes can fail TO see it. As for the
first assertion, we would Gle our semi de
mented contemporary TO tie vote for Presi-
dent in 1868, we 20 back that far because
thousands OF men then voted the Republican
ticket under the name of "Union, who have
never voted it since, and never will again.
That year Grants popular majority was onl,
305 ,GS4. That year the negro vot, was
over 600 900. Allowing thai 5 negros vot-
ed for Gran, to one who voted for Seymour,
then the negro Republican vote wculd that
year have been 500, coo. Deduct this from
The popular Republican vote. and it would
leave a Democratic majority in the popular
vote Of the United States Of 200 GOO, and
show incontroverlibiy that our assertion was
well founded Now TO those other questions
which our distinguished friend Of tie San
Juan Times is 20 patiently waiting TO have
answered.
