In closing his essay ON Goethe, "Vixlt, vyit lie has

Where skies bend low waving grain

A broken State he caught in giant hands,
And bound It fast in blood.cementcd bands.
The Unions safe, forever safe And more,
This land is free from shore to shore
Each mans man. serfs chattels here.
Brows black as well white Gods imoge bear.
No lash falls when unpaid toilers lag;
All stripes are laid alone upon our nap.
IL bars those cleaning lines Of red,
TO show how heroes died in others stead;
And Lincoln's blood flows there the price
OF freedoms costly sacrifice.

MR. HISCOCK AND TIE BALLOT
Senator Hiscocks response to "The Ballot
went directly TO the core of the great
fraud recently enacted in this State under
the controlling influence Of David b.
Hill. It went with most pronounced
and emphatic Endorsement, word by word, and
the enthusiastic applause with which its delivery
was interpolated showed that the conviction that
q great crime has been committed is deep seated,
and that those who are brave enough to denounce
il in unrnisakable language are regarded
the most worthy of leaders. This is what he
said
