OPPOSITION.

The fierce howl now being raised by all
dervishdom against the present admins
tration, is like the harmonious peals of a
gong, which swells in pleasing volume until
the guests are seated around the board, and
then subsidies into grateful silence. The
Democratic hosts are called to the feast BY
this wild halloo of denunciation. 1t is at
once the signal of onslaught and the means
of securing the prey.
In the vocabulary OF blackguardism no
words can be found sufficiently gross or vi
olent with which to malign the hero Presi-
dent or beioul his administration. Yet it
is pleasant reflection that the hero of the
hatchet and the great liberator were sub
jected to the same coarse brutality. Wash
ington was denounced as an arch usurper,
and the immortal Lincoln assailed with a
venom and ierocity that eliminated in a
martyrlom. And why are the wild ami
mails" of human passion thus turned
loose? The teachings OF the past as will
as the suggestions OF reason tell the tale
and, as every thinking man can see that
the Democracy has commenced the hunt
and is beating the preserves, that the great
and Unsuitable Democratic appetite may
be gorged.
Corruption" is the cry raised b. the very
men who have been dethroned on account
of their rank impurities. The party which
declared in its State and general conventions
that coercion was unconstitutional, and dis
tributed the Federal arsenal among the
hosts that clamored for weapons to destroy
the government of our fathers; the party
which encouraged resistance, and hung like
a vampire over the nation in Its sorest hours
of anguish that aided its enemies, and par
alyzed its every effort 10 sribdue the naughty
insurgents, now clamor for power To control
the affairs Of that Union against which
they have raised their gnholy hands, and
modestly ask that the very men whose hands
are still crimson with the blood Of patriots
shall be invested with the supreme power to
govern, direct and, it may be, scourge the
men who have compelled them to lay down
the arms with which they essayed to estab-
lish their arrogant pretentioDs.
1t is most natural that Gen. Grant, whose
strong arm has filed them PROSTATE, should

MHARLY AL o0XE.

The party who is supposed to have aided
the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, BY assist
ing him to his horse at the side entrance Of
Ford's Theatre in Washington has lately
died near Bryantown, Md. His name is
Edward Spangler. The hand of demented
conspirators against the life of one of the
noblest of men is rapidly being wiped from
the face of the earth, and already the grave
consumes them, nearly all. Booth, Har-
rold, Atzeroth, Payne and Mrs. Surratt met
a speedy and violent death. O'Laughlin
died at Dry Tortugas, and Spangles now
has succumbed. Only two are left-Dr.
Mudd, living where Spangler died, and
Arnold, q wanderer no one knows where.

THE FIRE IN WICHITA.

By reference to the first page Of The
TINES this morning it will be seen that
Wichita has been visited by the fire-fend.
1t seems as though there are several cities
in Kansas that are endeavoring to rival
Chicago and Boston in the extent of their
fires. A special, the other morning, told us
Of the great fire in Independence, and now
Wichita has passed through fiery ordeal.
But we have no doubt that the little city
will arise from its ashes more busy and
prosperous than ever

MIsDIREcTED SYMPATHY.

Senator Boutwell, never said truer thing
than when, the other day, he charged that
"at least one-half of the misfortunes of the
South are due to the misdirected sympathy
and criminal support given by the Demo.
cratic party Of the North to the rebellion:
and unsubdued spirits of the South" Be
fore, during, and since the war, that party
either by its promises or its policy has al
ways, directly or indirectly, countenanced
and encouraged them, thus constantly, ever
if unintentionally, melting to new acts o.
violence and new scenes of disorder.

LADY cHAREIRo.

TO LrrrLs NArpE l.-sY BIacH ARSol
She dances in the doorway,
On tiny, t~inkling fsei,
And brings face Of dimples,
Ny weary eyes TO greet
Her hairs of ripplins sunshine,
With CLINT Of FURNISHED gold
Her eyes, too full of mischief
For the sapphire depths to hold,
So full, it bubbles over,
And speaks in rosebud lips,
Which, like the hearts of roses,
Hold naught but honey sips-
She sings prima donna,
And dances like q sprite!
And tells such funny stories,
That I'm enchanted, quite.
She puts on airs and gracea,
As il she meant to see
How much improved on nature
Her lovely self could be!
But soon, she quite foryets them
And lays them on the shelf,
While out Of them emerges
Her own true, charming self.
tAh, Little Lady Charming,
I'll whisper this to yos-
This wearing airs and graees,
Is foolish thing to do.)
She talks about her Sweetheart ~
In such candid way,
She leaves me deeply pond'r!ns
On what she 1oes' NJ say.
So much in eye, and gesture,
So much in smile, and look
This learned an early lesson
From woman's worlless book!
She tumbles in my papers,
Investigates the ink,
And gravely stands to question,
And ask me what / think.
think, my precious girlie,
However dark and drear,
However girt with sorrow
My ways Of life appear,
With such ray Of sunshine,
To enter at my door,
The mists will quickly vanish,
To trouble me no more.
All ,isurely earth and heaven
Are not 80 far between,
When on life's rugged pathways,
Such smiles, rs yours, may BEAM
God bless my Lady Charming!
Ny little ray OF light,
Who chases, by her presence,
Away the giooms Of night.

tTOteStants CRY out dgdlHst tHS eHcrOacH-
ments of Roman Catholicism upon the lib
critics of the people, and fear the entire su-
premacy of the Romanish Church, but BY
this amendment the way is opened wide
for Romanism, Buddhism, or any other ism,
to make the nation religious after its ideal.
1t is no stretch of Imagination to suppose
the day may come when Romanists will
| outnumber all others vastly, and with such
legal right as this precedent would give
them, they would not lie true to their love,
their instincts, their purpose nor their his
tory, did they not make America the temp
oral home and kingdom of the Pope. The
nurIerous Cinnamon, in some far future,
may be absorbed by millions in the indus
tries Of this land, NAV cut away the Chris
tian name, remove the Bible as the funda-
| mental law and substitute their Buddha
and his precepts in their place. Let it be
declared that the majority may do its will,
and all equity will disappear forever. There
is no injustice like that under which a class
numerically strong enslaves weaker one,
and it is slavery when the majority re-
auires the minority to assent TO it, beliefs,
or deprives it Of all rights and privileges in
equal government. Against such slavery
the sword will leap from its scabbard, ar
mics will be fiercely maAhalled, and woe
and blood and death will fill the land.
OF course these men do not intend such
grave disasters, but such disasters are the
Iogical result They MAJ disclaim any de
sire-to unite religion and the state, but the
words, the dogmas announced in the amend
ment deny all their disclaimers, and one
application OF these honestly comPels us TO
believe that they would make the nation
represent their religion. 1t is either mere
word mumbling, silly and pointles-, or
there is a living principle to be enforced in
all the ramiieatiOns of national law. 1t Is
either childishness, or a determined pur-
pose to make the name and source OF their
religion equally supreme. Ii We are TO
have a nation created on the dogmatic
enunciaiions of theology, We shall save

FROM POINT PLEASANT.
The Drift Blockade of Rough Creek.
POINT PLEASANT, Ohio County

POINT PLEASANT, Ohio County
Ky. July IA.
EDITOR HERALD:-Since writing my
last letter to the Herald, nothing of great
import has transpired in this community,
though there is a movement on loot which
will prove highly beneficial to the people
in this vicinity, if success attend the un-
dertaking. l have reference to the re-
moval of the drift at the lock on Rough
Creek.
Many of the readers of THE HERALD,
will doubtless remember seeing an account
of the blockade caused by this drift, last
winter. The drift, however, was PARTIAL
dislodged; so much, at any rate, that a
passage was made through which great
number Of RATS and stave-boats were
passed.. Since that time the drift has
been gradually accommodating, until it
again presents an impossible barrier to
all who would navigate the stream.
Undaunted by the voluminous mass.
Mr. Collins, the agent for the Rockport
Stave Factory, has determined upon opens
ing up the Creek for navigation. He,
with a number of hands, has already
begun this great work. But human
hands and hearts fail, when overburden-
ed, as this band of workers have been.
Although they have labored faithfully.
the work seems but begun. Not despair
ing, Mr.. Collins has concluded to tele-
graph to headquarters at Louisville, to as
certain how much the Company is wiling
to expend in this removal.
This Company has already set noble
example, and it should be initiated.
This should not be an individual enter
prise, but every one should be willing to
do something in this great work.
1t should be remembered that the
blockade is not only detrimental to the in
terests Of navigators, but that it does seri-
GUS damage to the crops along the borders
of the Creek. Nor is this all. The sick
ness, caused by the stagnated water, will
soon amount to larger sum than that
required for the removal of the drift.
Then, will not the proper authoritiesiE-
vestigate this matter, at once, and have
means appropriated for this work?
Yours, &c, MEMO.

family of the latter were away from home

meat in the negroes possession which they
