Paul, Sail A PRAYER FOR A DYING CHILD, 4 MIBHIE MARTLEB. Gusem I cannot save thee, darling, Since my yearning prayer le vain, While my heart, 20 bleeding, broken! Pours o'er thesite tearful rain, Bendamy soul before the altar ‘Of the Father's golden throne, ‘Praying, O, with tones that falter, For some soul to guide thins own: “Through the dark and shadowy valley, O'er the river chill and wild, ‘Up the starry steeps of soul land. ‘Thou Wouldst fear and faint, my child Those young, and mild, and tender, Full of toars when Mumma’s gone, How couldst bear the radiant splendor, ‘That at last should o'st thee down? Bend some npirit, Father holy, Down to guide my fainting dove; ‘There is one among thine angels, Who was once my child of love; Like his eyes, so blu and wondrous, Are the eyes of dying Grace. Browned hair like his, and golden, Falls around her pallid face, Bhell not he, with gettle coming, Fold his wings beside her bed, Clasp her woul to his, #0 naintly, Ere we call our blossom dead? Ah methinks I feel the presence— Now I bow me to the rod. ‘Oh, give pardon for my sorrow ‘That my darlings are with God. Authore Home Magazine, Toxe— Scots who hao.” etc. Rouse, yo freemen, in your might; Rouse, yo, in the cause of right; Brand your ground until the fight Eade to glorious victory. Now's the day and now the hour. ‘To harl from every place of power, ‘Those who now before us cower, Authors of our misery, Where's the party chain can bind ‘The impulse of a noble mind, ‘The man who never has consigned Himself to party slavery, ‘Democrats shall rule no more, To grind the faces of the poor, ‘That empty name no more shall lure Freemen from their honesty. Taxes, fraud of every kind, Railroads, banks and all combined, Corruption, plunder, these we find Compuea the false Democracy. ‘Hark! the battle-cry goes forth, Hardy freemen of the North, Let the touchstone of all worth Be staunch and tried integrity. Freemen, then, arise! arise!! Send the shout from earth to skies, “Break away from party ties, And better times we soon shall see.” Denra. Original Political Position of Slavery in the United States. ‘Seventy two years ago this government was formed. At that time the subject of Slavery was regarded by all parts of the conin but one light. The first , held in 1774, declared that, “God never intended a part of the human race to hold property in and have unbound ed power over others” By the second ar ticle of the bond of federative union, the slave trade was prohibited. The original emai of the Declaration of Independence vdied the pre pauline!ola of ‘Our pe on this subject in the rs ee ee were however, “in com plicanes to South Carolina, and 7 Says Jefferson, creased from the final draft: “Ho, (King George) han aorne] war against human nature itself, violate its most asered rights of life and liberty, in the persons of a distant people, who have never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another *isphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. This ' practi cal warfare, the opprobrium of inti ~f y TUhristian (1 ore) is the warfare of the Christian |Ki of Great Britain. Determined to keep a market where men could be bought and sold, he had at length'‘prostituted his neg ative for appresising any legislative at tempt to prohibit ‘and restrain this exears, ‘ble commerce.” Let it be recollected that our govern— ‘inant was formed on a distinguishin ‘trait ‘for character, seperating ‘it: from all oth er eres ce thar eek which Loannnot be to: muchly peste ered. That trait was tape the following words of the Declaration of In— en !“ We hold these truths to be devident :—that all mien ara crested ¢— jual—that ra 906 iby : their, Tariana among these all life, liberty, and the pur- PP of happiness.” _ lberty, eel Ays exqual ity for all mankind, the most ultra repub licanism and democracy that was possible consistent with the peace and order of so ciety, were the distinctive features and ea sennels of our government. With it arose a new era in the world. As era when the theories of sages and philantist of all ioreceeding ages were for the time put into national practice. It was hoped, it was a the career thus com mon all time with ‘unbroken vitality and accessing th The unfortunate condition of another race in part of the Union was universally re garded with regret and with hopes of its speedy obliteration! ‘This is shown by ‘the recorded sentiments of the Fathers of your government. Gen. Washington, the Father of his country expressed the hope that he would live to see iictitation abol ished in all parts of the Union. He daid: “It ias moat serious evil, and I should re joice in any feasible scheme to rid the States of such a burden.” ‘Thomas Jefferson the great apenda of Democracy, said: “It is still in our power to direct the process if pe and gamnnatiog eably, and in such slow degree The evil will veer off iuscesibly, nd their place be filled up with white ! Benjamin Franklin, the Sage and Phi losopher of the American Revolution,says: “We earnestly beseech that will aquatenanes the Seatorstion. of They to those unhappy men, who alone, in this land of freedom are degraded into perpet ual bondage, and who amidst the general joy of surrounding freemen, are groaning in servile subjection.” ‘That these sentiments were echoed by the earl; preenerk of the Union is pro ved as follows : Paes ae paannesh dienes. te cut off of slavery prohibiting the further importation of Slaves into the country after a certain period, by making, the trade in slaves an offence Saninbable by death, and by placing it in the same case with Piracy ! 2 But, as if the founders of the gov ernment were notatisfied with the inter diction of nutriment to the institution, they sought still farther to promote ita re moval by prohibiting its extension in the bounds it then occupied! In 1789 by Secoon ae in reference to the Wrea! ‘errit Congress for bid the spread of Mevarpee what was then the only Territory held by the United States. Here then we have abundant proof of the light in which the institution was originally regarded. 1 By the action ta ken by the first Congress ever convened of the United States colonies. 2. By the original draft of the Declaration of Inde pendence amended in complacence to two Southern States. 3. By the whole Spirit of Liberty breathing and pervading the Declaration of Independence—the common Law of our System—the Meagre Charta of our Liberties—the basis of our national Existence—the Absolute Foundation on which was erected the whole magnif cent Structure of our Institutions and principles. 4. By the sentiments ex Veskssil by the Founders of the Govern ment 5. By the Prohibition of the slave trade. 6. By the Prohibition of the ex tension of Slavery to the Free Territories of the Union. We clip the following article from the Democratic Standard, published st Rock, ford, Til: ‘Tue Panviatirr or raz Apwors— TEATION AND ITs Pain:—For years past Rebs iee an ape wa = ing to do to employ a confidential clerk to ign their names on franked envelopes.— The aes thus made were avowed and by tis member,and the Postmaster at Washington never hesitated on receiving this ennowledgment, to fend off the documents so franked. This course has been adopted by Mr. Douglas and many other leading demo crats, as well as by leading members of the opposition. On the 2d of this month, however, the Republican Committee at Washington sent to the Post Office an immense quantity of Be of Bonnaul tis,one of the t one rania, one jam tent Postmaster Tae tabooed the whole lot, under the pretence that the frank was not in Mr. Covode’s own hand-writing.— Mr. Covode was on hand and ack ed the frank, but Mr. Jones still refused to send the documents. Mr. Covode thereupon 3 to Postmaster General Lsitlo was at tending a meeting of the Cabinet, and First Assistant King declined to decide qually the Pont Ofer Depert and fee ment ie Post Office and decid e that the Republican documents could not go because some of them were admit ted to have been franked by a clerk.. No objection was made by Mr. Jones until he ascertained that the documents were intended for Minnesota. There is a warm and doubtful contest going on in that State, and as Gov. Sibley was then in Washington he was sent for, and it was doubtless upon his advice that this trick was hit upon or, keeping the documenta from being weat ei It would never do vernor argued, to permit these documenta ‘to have ¢irenlatiod. in Minnesota, it would defeat the democra tic party; and Postmaster General Holt, Seis aen not flimsy and excuse for foe of excluding them. ‘The practice, fer long years past, has been to pend off all such documents. The question about the validity of the frank has never been raised till now, and would‘ not’ have been raised ‘now, but for the existence of = party ne cessity for keeping Republican documents out of circulation. During the year 1856 the country was flooded with Loveface documents franked by clerks; and we venture to say that the mule never has been and never will be en forced aga Democratic documents fran this way, ked in Mess Dougie, and Blasente hae beta bagi the shay coun! ‘Spesshea saw circulars tithout ion for months, ire. ’ The trick of the Postmaster General and Gov.

Its evident fear of their effect will add to their influence. —Pitte burg Gazette. No wonder the Moccasins are afraid of the documenta—afraid that the official re cords of their doings should come before the people of Minnesota. If their deeds had not been evil they would not thus dread the light; but all their trickery and not save them. The 'Gasette’ is ‘mistak en about the contest here being doubtful. Destiny lies natchers 'down for Salt River; and they are bound to go. Sa
