"Ohl" be thought, ""how nice it must.be to be rich—to have cushioned carriages, and big red fires, and minim pies every day. Oh, I wish I were rich'!" And Ben shrank closer into his corner as the wind fluttered his thin, worn clothing and lifted the curls, with freezing touch, from his forehead. Nor did Mr. Almayno observe him when be re-entered his carriage, drawing on his a:pensive fur gloves, and leaning among the velvet cushions with a Sigh scarcely Ices earnest than little lien's bad been. The child's idea of "a big, red fire" would have been quite realized if he had seen the scarlet shine that illuminated Mr. Almayne's luxurious drawing-rooms that night, glowing softly'on gilded tables, ala baster vases, and walls of rose and gold; while, just before the genial flame, the pale *blower eat, thoughtfully watching the flickering spires of green amethyst light, and very lonely iu his splendid solitude.

FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1865. EXTERMINATION. The Abolition Extremists are blatant for the extermination of the Southern people; and a large majority of them would gladly see a. war oLextermiention waged against the Deniocrats- of the North: In localities Whore Democrats are in minority, they have to submit:to all kinds of-abuse, and are fre quently maitre - sled for their political opin ions. A grist. number 'have recently been beaten, imprisoned and killed for no ether offense than speaking of the rysems9imition of Mr. Lirfoan difteretills ' from what Aboli tionists would,havo them do. .At Lidianapolis, Ind., Ave mon suspected of being "rebel oympltathizers," and sup posed to be Vetoed with the dent h of the President were seized If it mob and hung.

Tliere is hardly a day that threats do not come down the railroad against the people of this county from Abolition outlaws of the Western Reserve, and there are people in this town who are constantly urging them to commit outrages and murder upon our citizens. We know of many instances which we do not at present think proper to pub fish. Holmes ,js perhaps the only county in. Ohio where for the last four years no Dem ocrat has been seriously maltreated for opiuion's sake. 'let a is well known that maux . threats and some attempts have been made. Our people have been blessed with personal security, and their property has been saved from mob violence and thieves by loading Democrats in this place, and throughout the county, boldly demanding our rights at the commencement of Aboli tion rule and firmly maintaining them du ring the last four years. Whenever our leading Democrats cease to do this, the masses may expect to be subjected to all manner of outrage.—lfolmes County Farmer. TO, BE SET AT LIBERTY We saw a statement a few days since in some exchange paper to tho effect that all prisoners of states or political prisoners were to be set at liberty by the government. If this bo true, we unhesitatingly denounce the act. The men who have been wasting away their lives iu our public hostiles, are entitled under the Constitution and under every rule of justice, to a trial by their peers, and if denied, it will go down to all succeeding generations a burning stigma upon this administrat ion, more to be depre cated than the inquisitions of Spain, or the exile system of Russia. )that does the administration propose in this to do? It propose] to send home to be branded as "traitors" those citizens whom It denies the right of showing their inno cence. It is proposed to set free and to allow to go unpunished those also who upon trial may be proven traitors: It treats thal inuocent and the really guilty alike.

A few weeks ago Sir E Bulwer deliveted a lecture in Lihcoln, which city be has for a number o(, years represented in ,Parlianient, on the early history. of Pastorri 'nations. Ire gave an outline history of the Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Egyptian, Greek, and Jewish na tions, and closed with the following power fulvand drapatie description of the destruc tion ofJertisalent by Titus: "Six years after the birth of our Lord, Judea and Samaria'becanle a Roman Prey ince, tinder suliordinate governors, the most piteous of whore was Pontius Pilate.. These gOl•critors became so. oppressive that the Jews broke out into rebellion; and seventy ,years afle'r Christ, Jerusalem was finally besieged ,by Titus, .afterwards Emperor of Rome. No tragedy on the stage has the same scenes of appalling terror as are to be found in the history of this siege. The ..city it self factiuns.." liest war with each other—all the elements of civil hatred had broke loose—the streets were slippery with the blood of citizens— brother slew brother—the granaries were sot on firez—famine wasted those whom the sword did not slay. In the midst of these civil massnoree, the Roman armies appear ed before the walls of Jerusalem. Theivfor a allot time the rival fastions united against the common foe, they were again the gal lant countrymen of David and Joshua—and sallied forth and scattereil the ,eagles of Rome. But this trjumph was brief; the ferocity of the ill fated Jew soon again wasted itself on each oilier. And Titus marched on—encamped his arthies Close by the walls—and from the heights the Roman general gazed with awe on the strength and splendor of the eltrorJohovalt. Let us bete pause--and take iurselverya mournful glance at Jerusalem, an it then was, The city wan fortified by n tripple wall, save on one side, where if was protec ted by deep and impassable ravines. Thcso walls, of, the, most solid masonry, were guarded by strong towers; opposite to the loftiest, of these towers Titus had encamped. From the height of that tower the sentinel might have seen stretched below the *Me of that fair territory of Judearabouttepees from the countrymen of David. Within those walls was the palace of the ling, -its roof of ceder, its doors of the rarest marbles, its chambers filled with the costliest tapes tries, and vessels of gold and silver. Groves and ~, gardens gleaming with fountains, adornie with statues of bronze, divided the courtier the palace itself. But high above all, upon a precipitous rock, rose tho, tem ple, fortified and adorned by Solomon. The temple was as strong without as a citadel— within more adorned than a palace. On entering,you behold porticoes of numberless columns of prophyry, idarldt and alithAster gat e 9 adorned with gold and silver, among 8011011 was the wonderful gate called the Beautiful. Further on,through n viol arch, was the/tamed portal which admitted into the interior of the temple itself—all sheeted over with gold, and overhung by a vine tree of gold, the branches of which were as large as a man. The, roof of the temple, van on the outside, was set over with gol ten spikes, to prevent the birds settling there 'and defiling the holy dome At a distance, the whole temple looked like a mounter snow, fret led with golden "pinaeles. But alas ! the veil of that temple had been already rent asunder by an inexpiable crime and the Lord of Hosts did not fight with Isreal. But the enemy is thundering at the wall. All around the oily arose immense machines, from which Titus poured down mighty fragments of rock, and showers of ilftf: The walls gave iTt . y—the oily was bntered—the temple itself was stormed. Famine in the meanwhile had made such havoe,thart the besoiged were mere like spec tres than living men ; they devenred the hells to theitsworda, the sandals .to Their feet. Even naive itself so perished away, that a mother devoured her owp infant; fulfilling the awful words of the warlike prophet who had first led the Jews towards the land of promiso—orhe , tender and deli cate woman amongst you, who would not adventure to set the solo of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness —her eye shall be evil toward her young one and the children that the. shall bear, for she shall oat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness where with Om° enemy shall distress thee in thy gates." Still, as if the fop and the famine Was not scourge enough, citizens smote and murdered each other as they met in the way—false prophets ran howling through the streets—every image of despair completes the ghastly picture of the fall of Jerusalem. And now the temple was set on fire, )the Jews rushed through the flames to perisif amidst its ruins. 'lt was a calm summer night—the 10th of August; the whole hill od which stood the temple was one gigantic blaze of fire—the roofs of ce dar orashed—the golden pinacles of the dome were like splkop i or ., efinkspri Through the lurid atmosphere all was, oar' nage and elaughter ; the echoes of 'shrieks and yells rang back from the Hill of Zion and the Mount of Olivia. Amongst the smoking ruins, and over piles of the dead, Tittle planted the standard of Rome. .Thus 'were fainted the last avenging proheoios— thus perished Jerusalem. In that dreadful day, mon still wore living who might have heard the warning voice of him they cruci fied—'Verily I say unto you all, these thinge shall ems upon this generation. * * * oJerusalern, arusalem, thou Unit killest the prophets and l(111.)5t them that are sent to thee, * * * behold your house lig left unto ypn drsoltite r .

Thd ejaculation 'State Rights above everything !" which Carleton regards as an evidence of "insanity" will receive a early response from every reflecting mind. The doctrine of sabossion dues not necessa rily follow, as many seem to suppose. The States are older than the Nation, anti gave it all thd power it possesses, The Nation is sovereign in the powers so delegated, and the States are sovereign In all ether powers. Tho only question is what power was dele gated, and what retained. Contrd over the local institutions of States certainly was nob delegateirto anybody and when Mr. Lin coln assumed to exercise it, he knowingly trespassed upon Stale rights, and Mangum. ted a "revolution" tending to change out institutions from it republic to a despotic form. The creature assumes the power of the creator ; and if Mr. Lincoln succeeds in breaking down State rights, the distinction between his and any other despotism will not be worth naming. If ho eon destroy ono State prerogative, he can as well anoth er. Hence we aro not' surprised to see those who believed that Congress could de stroy slavery in Soup Carolina . ; attempt to control the railroad interests of New Jersey. We say emphatically—" State Rights above everything," and by these we mean all rights not delegated to Congressv—with out assuming to say what they are or are not The closer the rotation between gov ernment and people, the better. There is little (laLgii , or that a State will grkslnvo own kople ; but it i ie not soCertain' that another government made up of rival and hostile States, will be so capful of popular liberty. Tho only security we have is in the rights reserved when the compact was fornied. By_ these we ought to abide always. tThey may appear chiefly impor tant to Virginia to day, and Massachusetts to morrow ; but in truth, all the people of all the States have an equal and paramoun interest in their maintenance, as the expe rience of a aeries of years will prove.— Unton Democrat, Manchester, N. 11, AN AMALOA3IATION CONVENTION.-A call signed by Gov.
