IT APPEARS that the eminent re-
Bpectability" of the Republican party
congenial with that of Kentucky gold
democrats, was not enough to elect the
notorious seducer of Madeline Pollock
to his old seat in Congress. The re-
publican nomination of this old whisk-
cred leper is the first indication we have
that the party is ever, inclined to take
the part of the under dog.

We can write this especially Longfellow.
and though we claim the m n to be Arleri

II is pleasing 10 note. in passing, that
among the many privileges enjoyed in this
country, not the least conspicuous is that If
n sound and moral literature. The priv ci.
pal writers in prose and poetry, fortunate
ly. are refined in their imagination and
pure in their tendencies, hence their works
! are deserving If the respect and gratitude
Of the American people.
In these two particulars LonRfellow has
no. rival in the popular heart, and he is
styled, and justly. the "Prisee of American
Poets" He it was who sang our Sings of
! peace. of freedom, of love, of death and of
life undying"
Truly he has made the songs Of the
nation, and has b1rue his personal charac-
ter without bIemish; sitting forth such high
moral qualities as are fitted Ia eushrine his
name in the immortality of song.
Longfellow has been called the most
Catholic of non Catholic poets Of the Eng
lish tongue Most oi his writings berray a
! familiarity with Catholic forms and insii-
tutions; and although he never enters
| thoroughly into Catholicism. and therefore
seldom come near liz mysterious inner life,
yet il is surprising how his heart is drawn
TO devotion to the Mother Of God Hence
his writings have done much to f.miliarize
the Americans with this divine medium nf
truth and beauty.
Other important characteristics of Long
fellows writings are strength. breath, and
exquisite beauty. His studied principles OF
verbal melody rendered him master Of the
mysterious affinities existing between sense
and sound, thought and word, feeling and
expression. In his poetry there is quilt
earnestness; but little passion is exhibited,
Therefore il is well adapted to accompany
US in our quiet moods To Us it has many
varying beauties; perhaps his exquisite
love Of Nature strikes US most forcibly al
present.
