The Death Bed.

We watched her breathing through the
hight,
Her breathing soft and low,
AZ In her breast the wave Of lifs
Kept heaving to and fro.
b. silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly moved about,
AS We had lent her half our powers
To exc her living out.
Our very hopes belled our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied,
We thought her dying when she slept
And sleeping when che died.
For when the morn came, dim, and sad
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyclids closcd--she had
Another morn than ours.

SENATOR CoEKLINas SOLID SOUTH. -


SENATOR C0EKLINd's SOLID SOUTH. "
In his speech at the academy of music in
New York, on the 18th instant, Senator
Conkling distinguished himselfas all adept in
political jugglery and in the art of the dema-
gogue, rather than as an elucidator or pro-
mulgator of broad statesmanlke doctrines
and views. WE had right to expect from
gentleman of so large experience and infor-
nation in and about the affairs of the gov.
eminent and the nation some reasons, not
why he should denounce thu south and
abuse her people, but why the Republican
party should claim tho approval
and the support Of the country.
The most plausible reason for his course is
perhaps that which is usually and not often
incorrectly assigned as an excuse for the
pettifogging lawyer to abuse the clie.t Of
his opponent, viz: the want of argument in
behalf of his cause The burden of his
song, liketh of Colonel Ingersoll's, in Maine,
is an appeal to the passions and prejudices OF
the Republican heart and the fears of Re.
publican suspicion, He sought to show that
the "solid south" would rule and tyrannically
dictate to the country in the event OF the
success Of Democracy; that the south and
Democracy were synonymous terms
and correlated with wrong ard
tyranny and fraught with danger
Now, the senator evidently knows better than
this. The entire history of this country from
the time that Jefferson Outlined the doctrine
Of the Democratic party, with the federalists
fighting him at every point in the interest of
Capitalization, down TO the hour when our
own Texas delegation with other southron.,
in the interest of peace and harmony sustain
ed the electoral bill that placed his chief in
power despite our triumph, all demonstrates
the conservatism Of Democracy, the dan
gerous aggressivencss of Republicanism. He
strives to array the northern mind
against our section by an argument
that it holds and Yields the balance
ofpower even now. Let us see how true this
lie. The total Democratic vote of the union
in 1879 was 4,2S6, 500, the total Democratic
vote of the south WAS only 1,6li,10 Tabu-
lated vote stood thus
Total Democratic vote IA United States
