Weep not that We must part,
Partings are short; eternity is long.
Life is but one brief stage,
And they that say life ends with life are
wrong.

What thought so far away?
Thy thoughts are still with me and with

And absence has no power
To lessen what by nature is divine.

Then weep no more. my love,
Weeping but shows thy trust in me is

For know this truth Thou canst not love

Unless thine own heart cry

The Secretary Of the Treasury will un-
doubtcdly include in his annual report
some recommendations for q reduction OF
the tariff. The replies to his circular to
manufacturers and importers, calling for
information on this subject, aud requesting
their views as to what notifications of the
present tariff could be advantageously
made, have been very numerous, and they
have been carefully and Systematically ar
ranged for the Secretary's study. 1t is
stated by some of the treasury officials that
an attempt will be made to reduce the
present tariff about $4,000 900, but how
that can he done with safety puzzles those
who have looked into the present condition
Of our revenues and expenditures.
II has already been shown that the rev.
enues are decreasing at the rate Of about
$4,000, 600 per annum, while there is also
an increase Of expenditures Of nearly $l5,-

rule Of q reform administration, so called

A National Question.

That the Importance Of the political
struggle now going on in the state of Vir-
ginia is not generally appreciated by the
Republicans of the north is evinced by,
lack Of interest therein on the part Of the
great majority Of Republican newspapers.
With three or four conspicuous exceptions
In some Of the larger cities-such as the
Philadelphia Press, Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, and New York Tribune--the ex-
ponents Of Republican sentiment through
out the north appear to have little concern
for the result of the Virginia campaign.
Many newspapers which are well in
formed on most questions manifest wealth
of mislnformation when they happen to
refer incidentally TO the Virginia campaign.
Indeed, there are scores Of Republican
editors whose illusions to their political
brethren In Virginia are decidedly beneficial
TO the other side. Republican writer's who
cannot discriminate between bourbon ex-
confederates and Republican ex-confeder-
ates, but who insist on chasing them all as
''rebels,n and castigating them for the deeds
of long ago, are doing their party more in
jury than is inflicted on 1t by the ablest
writers and speakers of the opposition.
There is no hope that the Republican
party will ever be able TO hold its own
against the bourbon Democrats Of the south
unless brains, influence, character, and
social standing can be won to 1t from the
ranks Of the ex.confederates in all the
states OF that section as they have, in large
measure, been won to it in Virginia and
North Carolina.
: The northern Republican who cannot
heartily join hands with ex-cOnfederates
and work with them for the success Of his
party, for the ascendency of Republican
principles, is not a national, but a sectional
man. And until the Republicans Of the

north can get rid Of the animos,tlos Of the
war, can accept the belief that the conted-
crates were honest in tho conviction that
their cause was just, they viii be incapable
ofappreciating the greatest issue now before
the people Of the United States.
Cur friends ut the north must make up
their minds to associate with men wlo are
proud of the part they bore "on the other
side" during the war Of the rebellion. The
men who stood by Lincoln and Grant must
believe in the honesty Of men who stool by
Davis and Lee. II ought not be hard work
to give any man credit for sincerity who
was willing TO stake his life on his opinion.

shot at for the belief that Is In him may be
fcarfully Mistaken but he is not 4 liar OF
hypocrite.
The confederate soldiers In Virginia who
have thrown Oft the bourbon yoke and
taken their places in the Republican party
have shown moral courage OF high order.
They have had to face such personal ma
lignity ns ls not known in northern states.
They are brave and true men, and they are
now fighting the battle which is, in great
measure, to determine the future Of parties
in a national sense.
II the Republican party in Virginia IL
crushed, the south will hold on to its Dem.
ocratic solidity. The great cause of Il free
ballot is on trial in this campaign. The
Democrats Of all the southern states arc
making this fight their own-arc giving
substantial aid to the Virginia bourbons.
