VICTORY.

y, watehman, say what sound is this that
floats across the hills.
Where lies encamped the naughty horde
which brought such cruel ills
Upon our torn and plundered landa And,
Watehman, tell - pray,
Is that the glare ofrobbsr camps, or the rosy
dawn Of dayl
"Dinna ye hear the pibrochln the glad tri-
That tells the weary sentinel that hope and
help are nighl
That sends the reveler from his feast, the rob-
Der from his prey,
And nils each FAINT and gloomy soul with the
radiance Of the day.
"Dinna ye hear the pibrochl and dinna ye see
the lash
That tips with light the gathering hosts2 and
dinna ye hear the lash
That drives the ragged rufiian back that tries
to block the way,
And stand between our country and the gio-
rious light Of dayl'
What Webster, Clay and Jackson saw-what
Jefferson foretold,
The gathering storm of fifty years has Ger
cur country rolled;
Beneath the smoke the battle left, the thieves
have had their way,
But now 1T lifts, it lifts, and 10! behold the
perfect dayl
The glorious dawn has ripened out into the
promised light,
The bandit crew is scattered wide that gath
cred in the night,
And peace shall sit upon our walls; pros
perity hold sway.
And honor light our glorious land with the
radiance Of the day.
A thousand Tweeds shall follow him within
the prison doors,
A thousand thieves, now high in place, yield
up their stolen stores,
And foul corruption hide her putrid head
and slink away
When Tilden turns into her den the binding
light of day.
o, Indiana, fair of form, thou nurse of stall
wart men,
Aud thou, Ohio, strong and true, lift up thy
voice again;
And send tiny pity to the South whose raw
ished daughters pray
For death or mercy from the tate which
darkens ali their day.
Thy heavy hand was raised in wrath to
strike secession dead,
When like Geld and deadly snake it raised
its kissing head;
But to strike foe surrendered!-that never
was thy way;
The dead would turn within their graves,
and weep to see the day.
Thy garnered grain shall feed the land whoee
cotton brings the gold;
Peaeemaker shall thy name be called, as His
was called of old;
At thy command the storm of hate shall sink
and pass away,
And God shall fill thy path with wealth, and
food thy path with day.
No South shall be remembered then, no
North, no East, no West,
Our country shall be all in all, "the land we
love the best"
Our march shall be an army's march, and
freedom lead the way,
Till all the world shall take the step and
follow into day.
Up, up, Columbia, clap your hands, your
mourning time is Ger,
Your night Of gloom and sorrowing shall
come again no more,
For God, who ehastened our fair land, has
rolled the stone away,
And set the Sunburstin in the sky which brings
the endless day N. 7. World.

People and Parties.

1t is no uncommon thing, at this
time, to hear even intelligent per
sons speak in strong terms against
all political organizations. They
are not satisfied with anv party;
there is none good enough for them.
They do not recognize the fact that,
whether for good or otherwise, our
government must be conducted by
parties. 1t can be done in no other
way. 1t does not follow, however,
that it should be administered for
the benefit of parties, but rather for
the good of the whole people. Po-
htical parties represent the general
ideas which their adherents deem
necessary for the common welfare,
and they seek to get control of the
government in order to carry their
respective views into practical ad-
ministration. To be permanent,
party must be based on principle,
and be true to it; for the party in
power is always responsible for the
manner in which the Government is
administered. That is the guaran-
tee of good behavior. If the party
shall have done well, its reward
will be in the public appreciation,
and in cotinuance of power. 1t
should therefore be held to a strict
accountability for all ofenses, all
neglects and mistakes by which the
honor of the country may have been
compromised, the business interests
of the people depressed, or the gen
eral prosperity impaired or retarded.
The party chooses its own agents,
and their acts in an official capacity
are the acts of the party. There
fore the short comings of the men
put into ouice by a party are the
short comings of the party itself,
for which it should be held respon-
sible at the bar of public sentiment
and at the polls. If the party in
power slows itself to be incompe-
tent, dishonest, or corrupt; if its ad
ministration of public affairs has
the effect of producing a depression
of the INDUSTRIES Of the country; if
! il add TO the tax burdens tbrouUh
extravaganza, or shows other evi,
dences of maIadministration, it
should be held to its responsibility
and hurled from power. A party
that cares more for itself than for
the people generally, and shows
disposition to serve itself at their
expense, should be discarded. tits
only in that accountability that we
have any guarantee against abuses.
The great mass of the people are
interested, not in seeking or holding
office, but in good government.
They have to pay the bills, and are
therefore interested in frugal gov
ment They have to earn the taxes
which pay the ofice-holders, and
they should by all means exercise
the right they have to help in choos-
ing them.
Parties are necessary in this
country, and we must have them
while the republic lasts. Where
there is but one party, there can be
no republic.
No, no, let us not cry down all
parties as base and corrupt. As we
must be governed by one, let us do
our part in purifying them all and
Strengthening and upholding the
best. Every good citizen owes this
20 his country.

Life insurance is vanity and a
snare in American experience. It
don't pay to invest in a game where
you have to die to win, especially
when the Stockholders run away
with the pools. If you happen to
die before the treasurer gets to
Shanghaie, you are in luck as far
as it goes; but you'll wish you
hadn't died before you get through
all the courts and spend all your in
surance money in getting it. It's
like extracting the square root OF a
bank-robber's conscience to get it,
and then it is not half as large.

The chagrined Republicans try
to comfort themselves by plscing
Indiana among the "doubtfur'
States. That may help them until
the next day of wrath comes along
which is November Z.
For the next three weeks the
babble of Rutherfords organs will
be of the "sohd South and "rebel
claims" while the ''bloody shirt"
will continue 10 be shaken, not
withstanding its conspicuous fail
ure, "s0ith money" in Indiana.
The New York Tribune says that
the man was "wild" who predicted
anything but Democratic success
in Indiana. Then, all the Hayes
organs, including the Tribune, were
very Wild, for they positively claimed
the State for Harrison by a major.
ity Of from 10000 TO 20,0oO
OF course the Republicans do
not care for West Virginia, either,
with her five electoral votes. Four
years ago they carried the State by
5000 majority, and thought they
had permanently occupied it. Up
to the last moment they claimed the
State for Hayes, but the ayes for
Hayes were killed by 10000 Demo
cratic majority.

Chamberlain, governor of South

cult, to my knowledge, since I have
had the honor to be its presiding

Halstead says: "The battle-ground
is New York, Connecticut and New

thought when he directed Lee to
write to the American Alliance. of
which he is q prominent member,
that THE importance of carrying

The Columbia Herald says that
on the occasion Of the discussion
between Messrs. Bate and Foose at
Sparta, the Methodist church being
the most convenient building to
seat the large audience assembled,
they procured the use of the church
from some Of the trustees, but the
pastor in charge, Rev. J. II. Nichol,
not being a politician, could not see
it. He ascended the pulpit, invited
Governor Foote and Gen. Bate
down and out, dismissed the con
gregation without 8 benediction,
closed the temple Of God, and the
distinguished speakers addressed
their fellow-citizens elsewhere that
day.

The people of Texas are much

be removed to the borders of Tex

ders of this State, is a menace to
Texas. 1t involves danger not on

for the statement that Boss Shep-

Office. When the bureau was reor-

directed by the highest authority to
do so. Since then the vouchers

Troy IN. " Press: We have
heard Democrats speak with appa-
rent confidence that the South
would be ''soIid" for Tilden, and
we publish a letter from a cores
pondent which takes a similar view.
He puts Louisiana, Florida and
West Virginia down for Tilden.
We do not have confidence in the
carrying of any Of these States.
We consider Wisconsin and even
Michigan surer for Tilden than any
o. them. We can afford to give
them all to Mr.. Hayes and then
elect Mr. Tilden by a handsome ma
iority in the Electoral College. We
have been too often deceived in a
so-called "solid South" to be mis-
led by such statements, but we do
believe that any Northern State
which is not wholly given up to
Grantism, like Maine, Vermont OF
Iowa, can be carried for Tilden, fol
the Northern people are dead IN
earnest.
